Take, Eat and Live

Those words jumped out at me as we sang a communion hymn yesterday. The hymn was written by John Morison, one of the best poets of the Church of Scotland, in 1781- the same year we defeated the British at Yorktown. One of the definitions of take is "to carry something." So start team cooking and TAKE meals to others, EAT regularly together with friends and family and LIVE your life to the fullest. This can be your mantra for TEAM COOKING! Also it came out Friday - "Dinner Table Inflation Up Almost 5 Percent in One Year." Grocers are passing on the higher costs of food. Most salaries are not going up 5% so if you don't have a plan, try team cooking. And one more thought on LIVE. It's not living a good life to carry around extra weight and this issue of obesity is severe. My son went to a very good basketball camp last week and here was the menu for lunch each day: Pizza, Chicken fingers and biscuit, Pizza, Chicken Fingers and biscuit, and finally on Friday- Pizza. Humm....kids were excercising but not learning a thing on good food choices. What if they paid the same $$$ to a great cook to TAKE lunch to the courts- not a processed food distributor, and gave them an opportunity to provide healthier alternatives and a little more variety. I repeat TAKE, EAT and LIVE!
