Soul Food What did you eat this year that you will never forget? What went into your mouth & touched your soul? (Author: Elise Marie Collins)
This one is though. I make a point of preparing and eating good food. One of the best things I ate was a creme brulee from Barolo Grill (http://www.barologrilldenver.com/) in Denver. It didn’t touch my soul though, it was just really good.
A meal that did touch my soul was one I had with an old friend. He came over to the house and we cooked together. Something that we hadn’t done in about 10 years. We went to culinary school together and work together for a long time after we graduated. We even spent 6 weeks driving around France eating and drinking.
I’m a keyboard jockey now and had been out of the food biz for a while, and he and I had grown apart. We’d see each other every now and then in passing, or I stop by his place for a drink to catch up. When we made a point to get together and cook, that made the meal special.
