my love.

“Food and sin are two words that-in the English-speaking world, anyway-have long been linked. Food is a matter of the senses, a pleasure of the flesh, and when one anticipates eating a good meal, one’s body undergoes physiological changes similar to those experienced prior to…other functions. The lips engorge, saliva becomes thick, the pulse quickens. Early moralists who believed that taking too much pleasure at the table led to inexorably to bad character-or worse, to sex- were (in the best case scenario, anyways) absolutely right. Everything about a restaurant setting conspires toward the end, be it the peach-colored mood lighting that makes you look more alluring and attractive, to the floral arrangements and décor, to the vigorous up selling of wines and spirits. Like rock and roll, the desired end result is to make you happy- and to get you in the sack.
…good food does lead to sex. As it should. And in a perfect world, good music does too. “ – Anthony Bourdain.

This is just a small reason why I am in love with anothony bourdain. And food. And cooking.

he is so true. during my le bernadin meal i swear either i wanted to have sex with someone right then or with my food. but after 16 courses with wine pairings who wouldn't? (the blog about that meal is coming. kat and i are in the editing process right now).
