I have been cooking today. A lamb ragu which will go over penne pasta and then some roasted, carmelized cauliflower for a side note. Earlier, Mac and I went for a quick bike ride on this gorgeous fall day. Tonight, the little Central Oregon symphony is playing Mozart and we'll be there for that. So yeah, I love to cook and savor and listen to music and riding a bike is the best way to feel 9 years old again....when riding a bike no hands was so wicked fun. Remember?
I was thinking about homemade. How homemade can feel so happy and earthy and satisfying--a slower way....like how cooking ragu is a lesson in patience. Adding half cup after half cup of wine, then broth, then tomatoes......reducing it all down to this mellow rich essence.
It's a funny way to get happy but it's completely workin' for me today. Bon appetit!

"Savoring" is a good word. A worthy patience. Sounds like you not only pursued happiness, but you found it. Way to go!
