Once again, I'm finding inspiration from Keeping House, this time regarding food, specifically the food we prepare at home for our families. I appreciate the idea that food need not be exciting and complicated. There is much value in food that is simple and nourishing. And I'm also finding that I'd like to use this idea of moderation as a guide:
"Everyday food is about moderation. It is about moderation of expense, in that "whole things" (like steaks and chops) are expensive, and rare is the household whose food budget allows such things on a nightly basis. And it is about moderation of consumption. It is about eating half of a dish tonight so as to have the other half left for tomorrow, or eating lightly this evening because tomorrow evening there will be company tomorrow and thus a larger meal or something special for dessert."
