Of all the places I have been, IMHO as a foodie, New Orleans is the city where most people embody this principle. I have always felt that their basic approach to food is that you should enjoy it; and if you're not enjoying it, why are you eating at all? I like the way you put it better.

My 5 good things:

1. Ben and Jerry's ice cream is on sale this week, half price.

2. Still feeling the waves and sea air and the Jimmy Buffett groove a week plus after vacation.

3. An out-of-town friend is coming to visit tomorrow, and she's bring me a haul from the farmer's market.

4. This voting season is almost over and I haven't had a breakdown or seriously considered moving to Canada yet this time.

5. My house is cleaner than it has been in a long time, thanks to an inspired boy.
