Of late when I have had an abundance of creative energy, I have found myself playing with paper and scissors.  Steve, on the other hand, with his abundance of energy this past weekend, went to work in the kitchen.  As we sat to eat each of his culinary creations (and in fact as happens when we sit to eat most meals), this fellow pointed out how lucky we were to have such food before us.  Early in our relationship when I first heard him utter similar words, I’d smile, nod and keep reaching for whatever deliciousness he’d prepared.

Hindsight is 20-20, so I now know that back then I didn’t really appreciate fully what he was saying.  Intellectually I did, but in the intervening years as I work more closely with people who have so little, now I more fully feel what he means.  Whether its cheese on a cracker or a more wonderfully complex concoction, I have never been more grateful for the food I am able to eat and, yes, on occasion photograph as well.  Mostly I am grateful that there’s someone in my life who gently reminds me to appreciate such bounty each day. 😉 His menus are below along with a few pics.  Hope you’re having a good and tasty day.
