There’s no question that I enjoy food – eating, creating, serving, sharing. Especially the sharing part. Isn’t it wonderful to sit around the table, laughing, talking, enjoying something tasty with people you adore? That’s one of my favorite afternoons, right there in a nutshell. Good food, good wine, good company – are you kidding me? What I enjoy almost as much is discovering these little gems – maybe a wonderful artisan bread from a new bakery or a unique hand-crafted cheese. Perhaps some funky salamis, nifty olives or other interesting little tidbits. I can easily spend hours wandering through a new grocery store, lingering in the funky ethnic aisles, picking up crazy stuff that I don’t know what to do with. My pantry shelves are filled with such treasures.
