A Typical Day of Bliss

Finding things that make me truly happy is so exciting. Today as I embark into my new life in my new city, I've realized the simple things - and that is what makes me happy. My brother and I like to nerd out in conversations about food - and how much we are in love with cooking it! Now that we are back in the same city we have the opportunity to nerd out in person. And I just love the typical days in our house. Bliss.

Starting out with a simple beverage of fresh picked mint, lime juice and sparkling water. Divine and simple! We watch Frasier and roll out the fresh pasta dough into beautiful sheets, fit for vegetable lasagna. My brother was the master of the stove tonight and he cooks zucchini that he picked from his backyard garden. He arranges the array of pasta, sauces, cheese and vegetables into a baking dish. In a matter of time, the taste buds are ready to take off! It's that first bite of depth that gets you. The first time your taste buds experience that particular array of flavors. This is something I live for. And of course, what does our conversation entail? Food. What else? Our words are accompanied by the jazz music in the background - lovely. Brother and sister. Blood connected by family and hearts connected by food. Oh and the food tasted pretty darn good. Everything from scratch. Down to the vegetables growing footsteps away. That is my typical day. And I wouldn't trade it for anything.
