Just a passing thought....

Being in France has awakened me to the life-enhancing properties of consistently good — really good — food and drink at every meal. It genuinely changes your attitudes toward everything: it all seems more manageable, more full of wonderful possibilities.

Sadly, out of all the places I've been, France is the only one that offers such consistent, life-affirming quality of comestibles. That stereotype, at least, is true. Still, perhaps I can make more of an effort, once I'm back home, to source or learn how to make better food. Not just better-tasting (although that, too), but better in all respects: freshness, nutrition, aesthetic enjoyment. And in France it's all so easy!

Sigh.
