more than about eating
This weekend I want to be in the moment.
When I peel the mandarin I want to breath in the fine spray of oils as they fly off the skin.
I want to taste the rose water in the Turkish delight.
I want to meditate on the honey-like sweetness of the dates.
I want to be at one with the shocking bitterness of our homegrown radicchio and observe the fresh walnuts, orange and fennel mediate the harshness when I toss them in a salad.
If wine is to be drunk, I want it to be mellow and aged (like that wonderful 11 year old shiraz I drank last weekend), sipped slowly with respect.
I want to remember what it feels like for my stomach to be fully empty, awake and ready before I am fed.
I want to eat more slowly and laugh more deeply.
What are your plans for the weekend?

oh you mindful eater, you! I love your aims - mine are to have some baking fun with my nieces - which probably involves lots of sugar and colour :-)
Oh, how lovely! Sounds like you are appreciating the slow... this weekend I feel fast! I want to work out loads and eat lots of super amazing fresh healthy food!!
Johanna nothing wrong with having fun :)
Lisa - am a little slower than I intended today after too late a night with friends...:)
I want to savor every morsel of food I take and eat them at a liesurely pace... I want a real weekend!
What you said :)
Yep. That wine was a goodie.
I want all of this AND enough sunshine to allow me to walk to the veg patch and inspect my cauliflowers. Surely there are curds hiding beneath those leaves by now...
