In life, we have three meals a day, eating and sleeping, day after day, year after year. It seems ordinary, but in fact it is not simple at all. As I grow older, I find more and more that eating well is the foundation for a good life.
There is a saying: If a woman wants to capture a man's heart, she must first capture his stomach. I have always disagreed with this statement. I was not interested in the kitchen by nature. When I was young, I relied on the elderly, and later I got a part-time job. I never paid much attention to cooking, let alone delving into it. Cooking in the kitchen was just a hobby. A responsibility rather than a hobby. In my heart, I admire people who are naturally interested in studying food. Such people can bring you warmth.
So someone once predicted: "When I get old, I will starve to death!" The prophecy has not yet been fulfilled, but people are really old, and they are so old that they circle around the pot all day long. , but it is true that from the march of pots, pans and ladles, the little mood of fireworks in the world is played, and it gradually gets better and enjoys it.
The man's wandering heart was naturally in harmony with the woman's return to the kitchen.
As the saying goes: "The father determines the height of the family, and the mother determines the temperature of the family." A warm family is always full of fireworks, and the kitchen will never be cold. The figure of mother busy in the kitchen is accompanied by the sound of footsteps stepping in and out, the sound of opening and closing the refrigerator door, the sound of water running when washing vegetables, and the whirring sound of the range hood. "The sound of spinning, the sound of "Zila" cooking in the frying pan, the shouting of "It's time to wash your hands and eat!", and the smell of food filling the house are all what a happy family should look like.
The taste of home is the taste of mom, grandma, and grandma. It can also be the taste of dad, grandpa, and grandpa. The homesickness of wanderers is inseparable from the taste of grandma’s braised pork. The children returning home slowly during the Spring Festival miss the taste of the dumplings made by their mothers. The brothers and sisters who are close at hand gather around their parents on weekends to enjoy the taste of their specialty dishes. These are the flavors of family love!
Zhou Guoping said: "No matter how busy you are, you should have more dinners with your family. There must be laughter and laughter at the table."
I remember when I was a child, the elders always said: The body is the capital of revolution! People are like iron, and food is like steel. If you don’t eat a meal, you will feel panicked! In the era of planned economy, supplies were scarce. Shopping certificates were required for shopping, and food stamps were required to buy rice. For three meals a day, ordinary people are very careful about their budget. They can’t go hungry even if they are hungry. It’s impossible to eat as much as you want, because the supply is only so limited. During the Chinese New Year, they only eat a table full of sumptuous meals. The taste is like a family reunion. The taste is very fragrant and strong.
With the pace of reform and opening up getting faster and faster, and the transformation from planned economy to market economy, people's living standards continue to improve, material supplies become more abundant, and the pace of life becomes faster and faster. The pressure is increasing, especially for people living in big cities. Eating well has become a difficult thing, especially for young people.
They either skip breakfast, or eat while rushing, or do not eat on time, or order takeout, or do not eat well due to weight loss, or eat unhealthy junk food all day long... Eating is not a good thing for them It's just a matter of carelessness. It can be solved every meal. Such a meal is not nutritious and healthy at all, let alone enjoying life.
With the improvement of living standards, people pay more attention to the reasonable combination of three meals a day. As the saying goes: Eat well in the morning, eat full at noon, and eat less at night. Especially for breakfast and dinner, many people arrange them unreasonably, especially working people. If they can't get up in the morning and are in a hurry to go to work, they just mess around to fill their stomachs. Dinner should be light and small, but because of all kinds of social dinners, Can such a day-to-day lifestyle of drinking and eating be considered a good meal?
Some people say: "Eating contains the knowledge and interest of life. How you choose to treat eating can show how you treat life."
"Tiffany's Breakfast" has a segment. Audrey Hepburn looked elegant and sophisticated in a black dress. Standing in front of Tiffany's exquisite display window, I finished my breakfast gently and calmly. At that moment, simple croissants and hot coffee were like a gourmet feast.
Zhang Xiaoxian said: "Love begins and ends at the dining table. When two people have nothing to say while eating, their marriage is on the verge of danger."
For couples in marriage, eating well is reflected in mutual care for three meals a day. Although I don't like your taste, I am willing to keep your taste and tolerate each other instead of blaming each other in marriage.
What to eat? It doesn’t have to be delicacies from the mountains and seas, or fancy food. The key is to have the right taste and to suit your liking. Maybe it’s just the small plate of the most inconspicuous salted dried radish on the table, maybe it’s just the small spoonful of bean paste put in when making noodles, but it’s made exclusively and secretly, and cooked with love. This is happiness. The taste of family happiness.
Writer Liang Wendao once told a story: There was a great Zen master who practiced daily and had no other hobbies except sweets. When he was seriously ill, his disciples came from all over the country to visit him, and of course they did not forget to bring some fruits to their teacher so that he could taste them before he passed away.
Finally, the moment came when he was about to sit down and pass away. The old Zen master sat on the table with a peaceful appearance. Then, he picked up a piece of cookie, put it in his mouth, and chewed it slowly with some difficulty. After eating, he opened his lips slightly, as if he wanted to say something, so the disciples all gathered around nervously, thinking that the master was going to give his last lecture in his life, and they had to listen carefully. The old Zen master finally spoke. He only said two words: "It's delicious!" Then he died.
When a person reaches the last moment of his life, what he thinks about is the taste of the dessert just now, and the last words he leaves behind are praises for that dessert. This is a serious attitude towards life and respect for life.

Mr. Cai Lam said: "People who like to eat basically have a curiosity. They want to try everything, and slowly they become a person who knows how to appreciate food. Food people. ”
There are friends around me who like to cook. When they eat new dishes in restaurants, they will carefully study the ingredients, seasonings, and methods, and then cook them when they get home. Family members eat, or some friends who often attend social events and have many dinner parties. They don’t know how to cook, but when they eat in a delicious restaurant, they will think about bringing their family to taste it next time. These are people who love family and know how to live. people.
When it comes to eating, we have to mention "foodie". This term is still popular today and has gradually evolved from a derogatory to a neutral term. "Foodie" can be understood as a joking name for food lovers, which represents people who like to eat, know how to eat, can eat, and eat to a certain level and height. Foodies "have an obsession, pursuit and yearning for food that are beyond ordinary people. Food can provide Foodies bring endless satisfaction and make them full of power.
Speaking of "foodies", there are many originators of "foodies" in ancient times, such as the great writer Su Dongpo. He made food his own name, such as Dongpo pork, Dongpo elbow, Dongpo pork, etc. Tofu, Dongpo fish, Dongpo soup, Dongpo cakes... He was constantly demoted throughout his life and had no place to settle down. He thought that the best thing in life was to eat.
He was blowing the river wind and wrote "Huichong Spring River Xiaojing": Three or two peach blossoms outside the bamboo are a prophet of the warmth of the spring river. The ground is covered with wormwood and reed buds are short, which is when the puffer fish is about to come. There are historical records that Su Dongpo liked to eat puffer fish. When someone asked him to eat it, he sighed: "It's worth dying!"
Su Dongpo suffered repeated political attacks and was displaced throughout his life. In the extremely gloomy days, he He healed his spiritual wounds with eating, and it was also eating that allowed him to develop his literary skills to the extreme, leaving behind countless well-known masterpieces. From pork to pufferfish, from lychee to sheep and scorpion, it reflects the self-cultivation of a high-end foodie. As the saying goes, the best taste in the world is happiness.
We really cannot underestimate the importance of eating well. No matter you are busy or not, young or old, male or female, whether you like to eat or not, you should learn from Su Shi’s optimistic and open-minded attitude towards life. , the world kissed me with pain, and I responded with songs.
Mr. Cai Lam also said: "Only by being in awe of life and being grateful for food can you live your life calmly and gracefully with a calm mind."
The rest of your life Long or short, the beauty of the future is hidden in every day of our serious life.
Eat well, three meals a day, and take it seriously. If you are busy, even if you have a nanny at home, give yourself some time to go deep into the kitchen and enjoy the process of making delicious food; when facing a table of carefully cooked meals, sincerely praise them, even if they taste average; when you retire and have no time, you should study delicious food. , eat healthily and eat happily.
Eat well, live well, and love yourself and your family well.
