A Confession.

I have a confession to make.
I love food.
I love everything about food.

I love growing it. I love cooking it. I love eating it. I love talking about it. Comparing recipes. Trying new foods (both cooking and eating). I love nutrition and the way that food nourishes the body. I love the psychology of it and the way that food nourishes the soul. I love the politics of food, and trying to eat in a manner that can make the planet a better place. I love the history of food and the way that different cultures traditionally prepare food. I love the communal aspect of food-growing, cooking, eating, and enjoying.

I would almost always rather spend money on food than stuff. I simply figure that you HAVE to eat to survive-there really is no other option-so why not thoroughly enjoy it? I really enjoy going to the grocery store, but it can make my day to go to a farmer's market (or farm, or farm stand). Today I got to go to Boggy Creek Farm (picture, above from their website), the grocery store, AND I made pesto. I don't think anything could wipe the smile off my face.
