7 Days Before Expected Period

Palate Imaginary ... Eating

The comparison of tastes and thoughts is to give power of choice to the individual. We are emerging from the ten years that changed the approach to the table and now, after the hangover that media has deceived hundreds of new winemakers and restaurateurs - is coming ... but the bill - and enriched a few temporarily, the "survivors" are being put in a different way to the eating-drinking, compared to the early nineties.

The current situation is called by many experts "crisis" for me is simply a healthy "return to normality" , although between crisis and normality we are putting the current situation read everything that is more closely: the purchase of wine, a visit to the restaurant. By dint of counting the euro in your pocket, we realized - late! - two that are not five hundred euro lire and in fact our currency was devalued by 50%. But there have told the TG, we understood that they belong on your own! And nell'imperversare temporary guides and gourmets, the "normal" people understand that good at their expense is not just excellent. If the person chooses is able to recognize real quality, without affecting taste apparent, the dominant element of the last decade, good is all that we like.

Today, for better or worse we have become mini sommelier all: wine, cheese, salami, olive oil, chocolate ... At home we have the glass, possibly a knife, just about everything. So why not regain possession of our ability to consciously choose the good, to make it available to the table every day and improve the quality of the daily diet. Along the nineties we have been overwhelmed by the strain of modern gastronomy, and when we realized that the only thing that is not found in the "price list" was the time we started filing minutes. Minutes removed to make room for our day, after work, gym, weekends at the restaurant. We chose to skip the kitchen with your feet together. Eating well at home has become superfluous, simple food. Too nice to see in TV comfort food precooked, prepackaged meat, portions for single salad already been chosen, fried, dried soups and stews, rice that does not overcook, ligth cheese, not cheese, fruit juice, yogurt miraculous ...

always on a diet. Without realizing that there is a family or a person, the more sad that diet. In the house you live a conflictual relationship with the board. Do not you ever eat all at the same time, those arriving eat quickly, because the table for those on a diet is a torture. And to be there just need to eat bad things, or else ... We eat little and badly, and we no longer speak. All Travel ... telephone, ... Sms, ... e-mail. Bread? No, the fat bread, rice cakes better. Pasta? Fat, but a little 'because I take this blue family does, indeed, I can see it by fax to my love who works in the ocean. Oil? Yes, a spoon, but that costs less than peanuts, so I put it a little. And then those of the "... for me only vegetables, maybe a yogurt lean to fifty transgenic cereals. or all of the bar that makes macrobiotic macrobiotic sandwiches and arugula salad, pineapple and corn oil.

We have taken away the banquet , limiting the element to the kitchen table furniture, jumping the net, forgetting the key role that the board has at home, for lunch and dinner, if you sit around people who have something to say.

From our "crisis" must be born the idea to re-evaluate and take the table home. If we removed the kitchen as a home, who knows what happened may have made the prescriptions of the mother or grandmother. Recuperiamole, slowly. We will be back in charge of what we eat and eat better by showing that at the table, to eat well, do not necessarily have to spend insane. Improve the average quality of our table, so to come back to meet us, if not at lunch, at least at dinner with family and friends. Over the weekend, we choose our house to be together as a cooking time, or a restaurant where culinary experience to remember, thanks to a particular dish that "there" are prepared in an excellent manner. In doing so we realize that among us, at home, perhaps after early culinary uncertain, there are already those who adore it. Things will be even better for the children, content to savor the pleasure of being at home with his parents, to replace the snacks with a slice of good bread and oil true.

If we could change even one of these things, find that around the table at home, not only eat better, but you build a better life, perhaps rebuilding a cooking experience that, in a few years, will be remembered as a family tradition. Not cheap, honestly ...

And our mouth is no longer imaginary.
