Food n music

Shakespeare said if music be the food of love,play on. i really hope to be able to wake up to a new day,to work out or to go on working. The day i lie in bed the whole day is when ive given up on life Either losing my body or mind is a sign of letting go.so to me its music,dance and food that has the deepest memory of being alive.To a person with dementia,food imprints evoke memories as does a familiar well loved piece of music or a dance step. I get bored of the same old diet and enjoy new foreign food.i cooked angel hair pasta with the truffle,porcini sauce in olive oil,sweet basil leaves,wine,mixed vege n shumeiji mushroom n paired it with portobello mushroom filled with minced chicken and panfried it was a wonderful meal. then for lunch today i ate vietnamese banh mi or baguette with lemongrass chicken chop,vietnamese spring roll with peanut butter dip.Vietnam food is influenced by french n chinese cuisine and this dishes epitomises it with iced coffee. Vietnam is the only indochina nation with sinic influence.tbe rest are indic bias. for dinner i bought basmati ponni rice to cook Spanish paella.i use tumeric,not costly saffron,paprika and bay leaves.added squid rings,shrimp,mussel and chicken and some green peas.bell pepper,tomato,the paella turned out like the one i ate on holiday in valencia and the valencia orange tree laden with fruit outside the cafe so we could pluck n eat fresh oranges.what a memorable meal with sangria to drink to hearts delite.i love mediterranean cuisine like mad.exotic herbs n spices,cheese n wine are heavenly
