Saw it in Paris many years ago. One of the great food-themed movies. Brings back memories… <br /><br />You're so right about what we bring to our cooking. I can really taste the difference in my food depending on the mood I'm in—when I'm down, when I'm feeling ambitious, when I'm just plain tired. It all gets reflected somehow in the final product...Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14218978302604997544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8778626287556834261.post-68721089557845607572013-02-18T17:15:27.496-08:002013-02-18T17:15:27.496-08:00I have gone through periods like that!

(books almost always better than the movies as you use your imagination) Going to have to look at them again. It's been a while.<br />You chose a delight to delight your Valentine with, Deana.

This story is also close to my heart as I am of Mexican descent.<br /><br />I can remember ONE MEAL, out of 31 years of marriage, that tasted exceptionally special. I knew what I did to this particular dish. My husband noticed immediately that it had a certain taste, texture and richness to it, as I also noticed. I knew what it was. I had taken much CARE in adding the ingredients at just the right time during the cooking process, I finely chopped the onions rather than just throw in chunks, and I paid much closer attention to what I was doing. HENCE, it was love that was the ingredient that saved the day. We have lived busy lives, resulting in fast meals and thrown together parts to hopefully make a whole, but a real meal of love takes much care. Sounds like love, doesn't it?<br /><br />I have to applaud you for your GORGEOUS comment on my post. I agree; the French have a way of getting to the POINT of a matter in such an elegant way. Being a lover of language, this is why French was my choice of language to study. But what I loved the most was your analogy of love, being almost a geographical entity with its beautiful landscape of valleys, chasms and peaks. That's love, and that is for dang certain.<br /><br />AnitaCastles Crowns and Cottageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01780241008313365707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8778626287556834261.post-61472424982132962012013-02-14T14:56:20.189-08:002013-02-14T14:56:20.189-08:00Deana,

I just spoke about it with such passion that they knew it had to be true. Love this rich, rich chocolate ice cream cum pudding.

And we are certainly no cooks!!Jane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8778626287556834261.post-47851472087551828022013-02-13T07:40:36.137-08:002013-02-13T07:40:36.137-08:00I agree with you completely.

But when I am happy and loving every moment, it's magic. And speaking of magic, I believe this pudding is too!pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02651944290195111894noreply@blogger.com
