Food--we can't live without it. I think it is one of the most interesting aspects of the Bible. You might be curious about the passage I refer to. It's in Genesis. Have you ever noticed that the "original" sin involved food? That's right--Food tempted Eve to disobey God. And food has been tempting us all ever since.
We need food to survive. Our bodies need the nutrients contained within various foods. God designed it that way. I'm not sure why-He certainly could have done something else. I mean, how cool would it be if we could get all the nutrients we need by drinking water? Or by simply absorbing it though our skin? But no, God wanted us to eat. I like to think that He wanted us to enjoy His masterful creativity through more than just our eyes. Food can be a
wondrous journey.
My love affair with food began long ago. I LOVE new foods and have tried everything I have come across. I've eaten fish eggs, raw fish sushi, buffalo, squid, snails, and oh, so many other wonderful things! I love food.
I did not however, love cooking. It's dirty. It makes a lot of dirty dishes and let's face it, dirty dishes are horrible. I hate them. I hate seeing them, I hate smelling them, I hate standing there washing them! But as a mom, I've come to realize that even the horror of dirty dishes is quelled by the ability to introduce new foods to my children and teaching them to enjoy their own food journeys.
And that is what this blog is going to be about. Our lives, seen through the foods we eat and love. My growing skills in the kitchen (I've come a long way from take-out meals and fast food!) and the new creations we enjoy!
