Food Will Aways Be There

One thing the future will certainly have is food. Some of us may cringe at that because food is a source not only of pleasure but of our ever increasing size. Be that as it may, food has so much to offer. Think of all the ways you can have food. In fact, food contributes to a major part of daily planning. Everything happens in reference to food. Setting up a meeting for instance: do you plan a breakfast meeting or a post breakfast meeting? If you go with the post breakfast, you're not obligated to have a full breakfast but you need to have coffee and water. If you're going to have coffee and water, then you also need to have something there to nibble on, even if its a hard, dry biscotti! What about a lunch meeting? If we're having lunch, will we have it brought in or will we go out? If we go out, where will we go? Know any good lunch spots? After the lunch meeting, most definitely the conversation will be on how good, mediocre or bad the lunch was. I don't think there is ever a meeting attached to food where after the meeting the food is not commented on. From bad food repeating and reminding us to never do that again, to food that was so good, tasty and definitely worth trying again, there will always be some reference to it.

Food will always be there without a doubt. I think of some of the great meals I've had in my life. They have always occured while spending time with family and friends. There is nothing like going out with your spouse and/or friends and enjoying a great meal. It is the source of such pleasure. Good drink and good food joined with good company is a recipe for a great time and great memories! In every culture, good stories get passed on during mealtime. Family gatherings always have food, and it is major catch-up time in terms of stories. First it starts out with our stories about our being single. Then its stories about dating. Then stories about getting married. For sure stories upon stories about our children, I mean how can we not talk about our children And then stories about them being single, going to school, getting married; on and on it goes! Food is the gathering centre.

The more I interact with people, the more I see people getting involved in honing their culinary skills. Why not? If you're going to have food, you might as well learn how to make good food. Good food can be served to good friends and memories happen. So here is a plan. Let's all become amateur chefs. Let's throw chef parties where we get together and learn how to cook; I mean really cook. Imagine what a great place the future will be if you do this. No bad meals ever! Everyone will be capable of serving up the finest cuisine. No one will ever worry about serving up a disasterous meal. We can all wow each other over the great food we can prepare. And the greatest thing about this plan is that we can continue telling our stories and making memories that we cherish forever. I don't know about you, but that is worth repeating!
