Oh, how beautiful is Little Italy neighborhood in San Diego! Caprese sandwich! Crisp lovely Italian bread, tomato, fresh mozarella, balsamic vinegar. Yet another taste that is Heaven on Earth.
I say this after ceating a beautiful Thai/Indian dinner, marinating chicken breasts in fresh dried lemongrass--yes, i grew it myself! Adding garlic, some Tikka Masala spice, extra turmeric, my very own garlic/chili rub, sesame oil, teryaki sauce, peanut/sugar/chili. Marinating chicken for 12 hours--like to do it for 3 days--also did not do coconut milk but next time. Stir fry, adding onion to acheive the caramelization (say that word slowly, it's like sex). Set aside. Rice with red chili, gulangal, coconut milk. Stir frying peapods, broccoli, carrots. Mix chicken & onion, serve with rice. Heaven on a plate. I would eat Thai or Vietnamese every day. Or Caprese italiano. Or Mexican. Or steak, lobster, crab, asparagus, potatoes, leeks, green beans, corn...fruit salad. Food is good, I say definitively.
Celebrate life, my children, and yes, the pleasures of the senses. What else is incarnation for?
Peace out.
