Plate of Happiness

Food. Everyone comes in contact with it every day in some form or another. Sometimes people eat just to eat, and in this society, I don't think that people actually sit down and enjoy quality food anymore. It's like that coffee commercial; a great cup of coffee can put you in a great mood. This is exactly what can happen with food as well. This class has taught me a lot about that, like a couple days ago for example. I was in an extremely sour mood but after the chopping of the tomatoes and the sizzling of the onions and the general rush of the kitchen, there was a beautiful plate of roasted peppers with tomatoes and orzo sitting in front of me, and I couldn't help but relax. Eating that dish brought me to a whole new level. There is a great deal of stress release that I get when cooking, and sometimes that's what people need! Not only do you get to forget all your petty problems for a while, you get a great meal out of it too! More people need to realize that, and I bet you that we'd be happier and meet happier people!
