The homespun foodie’s week in review, Oct 5–11
Nothing in life should come without effort, with the exceptions of sleep and love.
I know that I harp on the same ol’ themes over and over —
- There is enough for all of our need, but not all of our greed.
- The simple things are the best things.
- Waste not, want not, and be fulfilled.
- We are not main characters in the tableau of life.
- Good food, good people, and hope is what makes the world go around.
These themes may be simple, perhaps even a bit old fashioned, but I shall take them any day over the current world themes of greed, consumption, hate, and destruction. Call me a curmudgeon, but those viral videos of destroying things for “ASMR” or unboxing things to engender envious consumption or behaving badly simply to encourage engagement really upsets me. They aren’t just a symptom of the hatefulness of the billionaire class that has destroyed modern culture, they are also direct cause of it.
