Our taste buds can actually embody the most unusual combinations of food. By paying attention to our sense of taste we can embark on a daily adventure of the palate. Feeling energetic? Incorporate tangy foods with slightly sweet ingredients. Or perhaps you may be in the mood for an earthy partner with a rich, honeycomb nectar. Just as music triggers past experiences and emotions, food has the ability to transport us places we’ve been years ago. I often cook while listening to music, don’t you? It might be a lively song that matches the rhythm of stirring cake batter and icing. (After all, wooden spoons make great microphones!) Then again, sashaying from one end of the kitchen to another for various ingredients and utensils can feel like dancing. Who knew? Whatever your style, embrace each challenge like a symphony conductor. Some of my posts continue to be favored by Ina Garten’s The Barefoot Contessa, on Instagram (@gail _dorna). You can even find me on Pinterest @Gail Dorna. It’s very easy to search for recipes there on the board entitled “Gail’s Kitchen Recipes”. I’d love to connect with you there as well. Experience different flavors and textures as you eat with your eyes. Catch a glimpse of “Eating My Way Through the Alphabet: A Symphony of Flavors”. This remarkable journey of the palate is unique because it gives me a few moments with you. Thanks very much to all of my guests and followers on http://snapshotsincursive.com for the uplifting support, award nominations, and daily words of encouragement.
