Food for Thought

Repetition.  We do this subconsciously everyday. It’s taught to some of us at a young age, a child having a bedtime. A simple routine “repetition” we learn, some times without question.  In this photo I see a young girl waiting for a train to reach her destination. She does this everyday at least twice a day and doesn’t put too much thought into. This photo relates to my topic on with a couple reasons. One, chicken to me is can be easy to prepare and there are so many ways to prepare it, but I only know so many and unfortunately time isn’t on my side about learning that different one most of the time. This causes the repetition of the recipes has become bland and subconscious. Two, time goes by fast and waits on no one. So why waste time on indulging on the same recipes? 

I would like to get out the same chicken recipes to experience the “mmm that was good” and surprise my taste buds. Repetition isn’t always a bad thing, like children having a set bedtime. Most parents will agree that’s awesome, but not so much with food. It could even be the same recipe but with different ingredients changed to it that make something pop and you think to yourself wow, I should have done this a long time ago, or noticing your picky eater is actually eating their food, not spreading it around on the plate or throwing it under the table for the dog. And you get that sense of satisfaction for a split second. Feedback is always appreciated and wanted, so please share whatever you can offer because yes, sometimes it does take someone else’s idea for a wonderful change.
