A food, travel and lifestyle blog dedicated to the gratification of the senses and the indulgence of appetite
This post has been sitting in draft form for about 6 months now. Around the beginning of fall last year I started this post to share how and why I started blogging. I thought about blogging a gazillion years ago, before it became so popular…
I must admit that Mexico City was one of the best places I have ever visited. I got a lot of grief from friends and family when I first started talking about taking this trip. All I heard was the same thing over and over……..…
“Cooking itself is SEXY & SMART. In the right hands it can inspire & express as much emotion & love as music, dance or poetry. It can give you JOY, HOPE & LAUGHTER & it can energize your SOUL & spirit.”
So, this is a quote that I read many years ago in a Oprah magazine. I loved it so much that I had it painted on a wall in my kitchen! I didn’t even have the “kitchen” yet, but I knew I would eventually so I just tore the page from the magazine and saved it!
I showed the quote to a very good friend of mine and asked her if she could somehow print/frame it for me. She’s an attorney by day, but an artist at heart. She said that she would just paint it on my wall!………………. I was like, okay…… very cool! Even better!!
I picked two of my favorite colors (chocolate-brown and cranberry red) and voila! This is a friend that I often have “adult” play dates with so it took some time. She would come over, paint a little………. then we would indulge in some mouth-watering cocktails, a little tapas and some great laughs (sometimes tears) and conversation. I have some really great photos capturing those moments. I’ll have to ask her if I can post a few! 🙂
Thanks T! xo
