Fish tacos! What a treat we had with our friends today—two-dollar taco day. Enjoyment of food is one of life’s greatest treasures and to get tacos for two dollars each is something new. I have heard that some people just eat to live and find no pleasure in eating. How sad. I do not exactly live to eat, but savoring something tasty is a repeatable, renewable repast. The variety makes life interesting. I can think of many perfect meals or snacks that fit the situation just right. To name a few: a cup of steaming hot chicken noodle soup on a cold windy hike, a slice of my mom’s homemade bread, fresh out of the oven with lots of butter melted into it, Thanksgiving, when you finally get to sit down and savor the dressing, gravy and cranberry sauce, Pizza Man pizza, hearty vegetable beef soup or light as feather pancakes made by my Auntie Vi. I could go on, but I think I need to go and make myself a refreshing fruit smoothie.
