Delicious Reading

I was reminded of an article I read recently on the internet regarding the slow food movement. I had stopped (after missing my bus) at ‘Stir it up’ and ordered a delicious spinach salad with green goddess dressing and free range chicken roti. I had to get it to go or I would miss my next bus, so that’s what I did. I wanted to eat the food while it was warm, so after Shabudabu and I hit the bus terminal I proceeded to eat my food and continued once I had boarded the bus and found a seat. I didn’t feel like I was rushing, but I managed to eat the entire thing before I got home and now I feel a slight tinge of indigestion.

I miss the days of my youth when the whole family would gather around the table to share a communal dinner. Or even when I got older and I would eat potlatch style meals at Westfield and re-enactments. Even in university there were a few occasions which allowed group gatherings to enjoy a meal and each other’s company. Unfortunately these occasions were few and far between leaving the rest of my meals solitary and lackluster. I don’t even have a table in my current apartment, nor a great need for one as Jamie and my eating habits are too divergent to allow a satisfactory common meal. I guess trying to eat right and not rushing is the best I can hope for now, but sometime in the not too distant future I hope to be able to achieve some more substantial goals.
