First of all, I'd like to thank you Readers for following along. Even if the comments were infrequent; I'm still glad for your support in making this blog #4 or #6 in the Google Search Engine ( "Michael Diezmos/ Mike Diezmos" ) as of 11/14/10. #1 is still that annoying entry -- often taken out of context -- which I wrote in college.
There were times when I was discouraged, and times when I didn't feel like eating. This lasted for less than 5 minutes, and then I devoured the food before me making sure to savor everything about that experience (6). I accomplished most of my goals ( plus incorporating photos I've taken in this blog ) even if I didn't do a lot of home cooking.
One of my hopes for writing in this blog is to remember, and in a song sung by Lee Ann Womack: "I hope [I] never lose [my] sense of wonder; [I] get my fill to eat, but always keep that hunger ... I hope [I] dance." I'll especially remember: the minute before I jumped from a cliff, my island for a day, the early mornings, the beauty, the delicious food, and most importantly, eating with friends and family.
Prior to this trip, most of the eating I've done were strictly done to function in daily living ( just to get through life instead of honoring the blessings bestowed upon me ). With most all having different schedules, it was a bit difficult to just sit down together and enjoy the communal aspect of a meal. During my gastronomical adventure, I'm reminded that eating together makes life delicious.
