Many of us have grown accustomed to the
American strategy of dine and run. There are more fast food
restaurants in this country than in the rest of the world
combined. It is time to get back to a simpler, more
enjoyable way of savoring our food.
Here are the Seven Keys to Delightful Dining
1) Set aside at least an hour, once a week,
to truly sit down and enjoy a meal.
2) Take slow bites and savor your food. Let
each morsel melt on your tongue.
3) Set your fork down between bites and
allow yourself to enjoy a slower, more relaxed dining
experience, for a change..
4) Set the atmosphere for relaxation with
wine, beautiful music and soft lighting or make reservations
for your favorite romantic restaurant.
5) Savor a good bottle of wine. Allow the
aroma to take you away to a vineyard in Italy or a wine
cellar in France. Drink it slowly and enjoy each smooth
refreshing sip.
6) Dress for the occasion. Whether you
choose your favorite Italian restaurant or create your own
romantic atmosphere at home, dress in clothes that make you
feel beautiful, sensual and desirable.
7) Cap off your night with the most decadent
dessert you can think of. Allow the chocolate or a creamy
crème to melt deliciously on your tongue. Linger over it and
make it last. Then wash it down with the best coffee or
espresso you can find. |
