it is my goal to like EVERY food the world has to offer!!! for this reason i’ve been making myself eat very small doses of food i famously dislike. so far i‘ve discovered i actually enjoy walnuts & cashews! i’m even (very slowly) coming around on pickles! definitely recommend trying this. i just hate missing out on good food. i want to eat it all!!!!!
i want to invest myself in learning how to make good food and be able to share that with others. i was thinking about how sad it is that cooking is a hobby that produces perishable work. it doesn’t last forever and eventually i will have nothing to show for what i’ve done. but i think the fact that food is fleeting reflects how nothing in life lasts and everything is always changing; we can only appreciate what we have in the present and i think food brings us back to that notion. whether it’s sharing a meal at home with ur parents or catching up with a friend over lunch or enjoying a new cafe on ur own, food is meant to bring ur mind to the current moment in that u are tasting, seeing, smelling, and interacting with the item before u. to be able to offer that to my loved ones and also share that experience with them is a privilege, even if it is short-lived.
i’ve been struggling with this lately too but what helps me is just going with my first instinct of what i wanna do when faced with different options. don’t overthink if it’s the best one, just go with what ur brain latched onto first bc it’s probably for good reason
