Dr. Gary Chapman wrote The Five Love Languages and since reading it, my view on how to give and receive love has changed. Matt had read the book months ago and we’ve discussed our love languages in length. The one he refuses to acknowledge [note: I made it up], is the love language of food.
Matt: B, food is not a love language.
Me: Yes it is!
Matt: You can’t make up love languages.
Me: WHY do you hate me?!?!
I tried explaining to him my deep affinity to making and serving food. Eating with other people is a very intimate act, but making and eating a culinary feast is one of the most satisfying feelings. He looked at me like a cardboard cutout and said, “Food is not a love language.” Eh, he’ll learn 😉
As the sun set over the mountains through the San Ynez valley, Matt and I drove with Jacky and her husband, Jeremiah the Chef. The conversation transitioned to the topic of food and discussing food with Jeremiah the Chef is like speaking a foreign language with someone who knows what you’re saying.
Parle vous food? Oui! Je taime food! And with that, lived vicariously through tales of food, feasts, and fondue with Jeremiah the Chef.
Over hills and around mountians, I dreamed of becoming the Giada DeLaurentis, Paula Deen, Bobby Flay, and Julia Childs. As reality creeped in, I realized my dreams of becoming a chef and speaking the love language of food are mere fantasies. But while recounting the amazing women I met at the High Desert Church‘s women’s retreat this weekend, a new dream was dreamt.
Though I’ll never be a pick-it-up-a-notch like Emeril, I’ll never lick my fingers like Paula, I’ll never widely grin about al dente pasta like Giada, and I’ll never throw down like Bobby Flay, I find it my sheer joy to serve up a meal of Soul Food to people who are hungry for God.Bread of Life and Living Water are merely the basics of what God has have us feast one. His Word is a twelve-course meal with all the trimmings and I had the honor of serving it up like Jeremiah the Chef. To the gracious women of HDC and to all who read the blog, Bon Appetite!

When I initially commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get four e-mails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove people from that service? Thanks!
Hey there! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any issues with hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing a few months of hard work due to no backup. Do you have any methods to stop hackers?
You made some good points there. I did a search on the topic and found most people will agree with your blog.
What a lovely day for a 2128785! SCK was here
The art of love is largely the art of persistence.
I dont think Ive seen all the angles of this subject the way youve pointed them out. Youre a true star, a rock star man. Youve got so much to say and know so much about the subject that I think you should just teach a class about it
Just right issues?I’d notice that as any individual who actually doesn’t write on blogs so much (in reality, this may be my first put up), I don’t assume the term ‘lurker’ could be very changing into to a non-posting reader. It’s no longer your fault in the slightest degree , however possibly the blogosphere may just come up with a better, non-creepy title for the ninety% folks that experience reading the content .
You’ve hit the nail on the head
I think that is a fascinating aspect, it made me think a bit. Thank you for sparking my pondering cap. Once in a while I get so much in a rut that I just really feel like a record.
