Can I take a moment to tell you how much I absolutely LOVE food?  Of course I can.

I absolutely, without a doubt love to eat.  I love the mix of flavors, textures, colors, aromas — eating is hands down my favorite pass time.  If I could redesign American culture I would center it on the dinner table.  I am convinced that Americans are overweight not because we don’t count our calories but because we don’t appreciate the art of cooking and eating food.  Why shouldn’t eating be an art?  It’s a beautiful thing when a great wine or beer is matched perfectly (or even not so perfectly) with a meal.  It is a wonderful event when you’ve eaten the perfect portion and you push back from the table fully satisfied and convinced that God created food and drink for our enjoyment.  How unfortunate is the soul that is imprisoned to a life of artificial this and diet that!

My future wife will not have to be a woman that can cook, but one who can eat… and preferably one who doesn’t mind cleaning
