We enjoyed this tasty meal, and Mary was happy that it was very easy to prepare. That's a big plus when you are in a hurry. And who is not in a hurry these days? That is the great folly of our day. All that hurrying robs us of so much joy. I think you can find more enjoyment by leisurely eating a peanut butter and honey sandwich than in rushing through a meal from the best recipe in our cook book. The Lutheran philosopher Soren Kierkegaard wrote,
"most men pursue pleasure with such breathless haste that they hurry past it." If we slow down we will better enjoy the gifts of God, including food, and God himself. Oops. I forgot that this is a blog and not a sermon. So, back to food. We like hot sauce in our house and I poured Tostitos Chunky Salsa on my portion and found that to make it even better. Jonathan said, "It tasted better than it looked. It looked decent, but it tasted really good." If I was preparing it (and it is my goal to make at least one recipe myself during this next year), I would have used just four tortillas instead of six. Jonathan disagreed, saying it was just right the way it was. Excellent choice when you have a small window of time to prepare. Now it is time to see what Sheldon Cooper, my favorite theoretical physicist, is up to. One last thing. Here is a quote for those who cannot wait for our first write-up on oriental fare: "Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished" (Lao Tzu).
