I will not mix chocolate milk with orange juice!

Is it silly that I tend to enjoy orange juice more when I drink it from the (white) wine glass? I just close my eyes and savor the taste so much more than normal.

Yum.

However, chocolate milk I can drink from a water bottle and still have the same effect. Chocolate is so good.

The point is, I think that people taste something for the first few bites and then stop paying attention to the flavors. I do this too, of course, but I'm trying to learn how to savor certain things (like fromage, wine, etc.). I haven't really gotten to a point where I can appreciate wine (because I don't. except Moscato d'Asti, which doesn't count), but cheese! oh my goodness! Cheese! (L'association fromages de terroirs - the cheese association of terror!) I've been on the hunt for a particularly savory Parmesan, but so far no luck.

I digressed. Sorry.

Do me a favor tonight: enjoy the food. We're lucky that we have choices at all.

Side note: I had a massage yesterday, and it makes food taste better. Actually, it makes the world look, well, le monde en rose. Until you read CNN, that is. Oil this, murder that.

SAVOR YOUR FOOD! It makes life more delectable in a very small (or very large) way.
