There's
a lot of talk about what you eat, it's a very polarizing topic
apparently. GMO, the levels of organic, forbidden foods, the gluten
wormhole, slow-food movement, lactose issues, allergies (real and
imagined), vegan, vegetarian, and pescatarian, pills, fads and drinks,
locavore, raw and whole, the pickle diet etc, etc, etc,.... ad nauseaum.
On the one side I think it's very important that you know with some certainty what you are consuming, on the other side though it seems to become something close to fanaticism for many. Where a weird sort of fundamental dogma takes root and disallows for any concession. I have too many taste buds in play to limit myself to a strict regimen but I would like to make sure that I consume more things that are born in the open air of the world than in a laboratory.

I love cooking food - all kinds. Good quality meats and fish are so
reliable and consistent when being applied to the heat of an open flame.
Root vegetables sing and dance when tossed with non-saturated oils in a
pan. Nothing beats a biscuit baked in a wood stove using bacon grease.
My nose loves to be in the middle of all the savory, sweet and sharp
smells it can find. Best spices for it's pleasure are found in the South
Asian or Mediterranean regions.
I love heat, the sweat inducing and the heart pumping kinds. It a beautiful thing when a dish of succulent tidbits gets the blood flowing and the endorphin system flashing around the body. I wish I could invite anyone who is reading this over for dinner, I love cooking food for people. In my advanced age there's nothing like an awesome dinner party to cap off a day, especially if I get to cook. My whole family is like that and most times when I go visit them I don't even have to step foot in the kitchen.
D'enjoy!
