Eat to live, live to eat.....

What category do you put yourself in? "Eat to live", or "Live to eat". Where we put ourselves stays with us for our entire life. That along with an amount of creativity and an adventurous nature, determine, not only what we eat, but also how often we do takeout or buy convenience foods. If you're also single like me and only have to please yourself, well the sky's the limit as far as our meals go. I also enjoy getting more and more out of my cooking than I did ever before. I hardly ever now throw anything edible away. I even find myself using the liquid from pickled hot peppers, that last bit of mayo and even my bacon fat. The only thing that I don't do is bake. I really don't see myself eating a dozen muffins or a whole chocolate cake. For me it's far better to buy what I can eat of these things. Not only is it much cheaper, but I don't have to carry the extra weight either.

Multi use.....

I love having my multi use food items on hand. With some of these I can whip up various tasty meals on a moments notice. Their versatility is ever growing as I challenge myself to come up with more choices. I'm also loving my fusion cooking that allows me to tempt my creative urge as well as my taste buds. The main two multi use items I use are, kimchi and salsa. With these two items I can make every meal different for a month. All I need are a few other ingredients in the kitchen to add to them.

Kimchi:
-soup, stir-fry, side dish, bowl dish, many more.....

Salsa:
-omelet, Spanish rice, quick chili, on hot dog, bread pizza, many more.....

Things.....

Things. Somethings are more important than other things. Anything can be something of importance to someone because of something that's connected to it. Those things become an important part of our lives and can last a lifetime. Sometimes we can't remember exactly why those things are so important to us, or why they bring such happiness just to be with us, or a part of us. We should have a national thing day. A day to remember those things that give us great peace of mind or bring memories of loved ones and friends, two and four legged. I vote for a THING DAY!
