Food has many elements and serves various purposes. Some dishes are complicated others simple. No matter the occasion or event, the food is always remembered and plays a lasting affect.
The pilgrims took a whole day to relax from all their duties, problems, and lives to just cook. During slavery, Sunday was the day the slaves had to themselves. They would sing and praise then eat together as a family, a community. So in case i haven’t already made my point, food has traveled to many countries, many races, many families, has passed through many generations and is now on the pages of drop my dime.
The spirit of food is something soothing to us all. There is nothing like smoked turkey, mashed potatoes, both topped with gravy, and collard greens. I love to cook and love the look on people faces when they are pleased with the dishes that I prepare. I’m sure that any chef reading this can relate. Good and hearty food is the king at the end of every night on the dinner table. No matter how stressful our day. No matter how many things went wrong. Cooking an excellent dish from your soul opens all your senses and the things that went wrong during the day no longer matter. You become happy and relieved. If you are not a cook and just love to eat good food. Having that perfect meal at the end of your day brings that same relief that the chef gets cooking it. So happy Sunday and cheers to a perfect meal
