This makes me the happiest.
My family digging into the fresh crabs and lobsters up at the family cottage in Maine. I&amp;#8217;m truly appreciative of the fact that I was raised in this kind of environment - trapping, boiling, cracking my own crustaceans. Clamming at 5am. Homemade donuts. Pizza from scratch. Artichokes, kale, zucchini, diakon, every vegetable possible. I&amp;#8217;m appreciative of a mom with an enormous garden who raised us all to always try everything, and to be creative in our cooking - it&amp;#8217;s gotten me so far in life and I&amp;#8217;ve had the opportunity to introduce those close to me to incredible cuisines, new flavors, exciting dishes. I know my ex always credited me for widening his palate&amp;#8230; and I take enormous pride in that.&nbsp;
I love that I can take the things that are such a major part of my life and help others experience them. Introduce it to them. Maybe I&amp;#8217;ll go for Ethiopian for dinner tonight.&nbsp;
