I should back track a little bit. I started to see a naturopath (which is wicked awesome, and I highly recommend it) and we have been trying to sort out my eating habits/sensitivities etc, etc. One of the things I was/ am worried about is dairy and so I went off of it for 4 weeks. (consecutively)
Anyway, now we are on the track of bringing back in different types of dairy and seeing if I .... react, ha! A fun experiment if you will.
For today's assignment, I was asked to eat butter. At least 2 large portions of butter. I realized that butter is something I have generally cut out for most of my adult life, since finding it isn't the healthiest of things, so I had a little bit of fun deciding how I would eat it.
I started to think about all of the best ways to eat butter. I decided on three. A butter tart, a butter croissant (with butter on it, of course) and corn on the cob, slathered in butter. Oh ya. Within about an hour I had already found a butter tart and scarfed that down, a little too fast. At the grocery store on my way home I found a butter croissant, and I barely made it out of the store before that one was gone. They were both good, but it was my third butter moment today that really took the cake... or the pat in this case.
I boiled up some corn. I melted the glorious yellow butter, I rolled the corn in the butter and then dusted it with just a pinch of salt. I sat on my couch in my comfortably air conditioned living room, and I ate my masterpiece. It was divine. The melted butter was so rich and full of flavor, like I was tasting it for the first time. Pure heaven.
So what was lesson in today? I think it was enjoying the little moments. Taking the time to indulge, because it makes all the difference. I don't think I will miss the butter again for a while, because I purely experienced it. And it was good. Another lesson? It's okay to indulge...once in a while ;)
Now I'm looking forward to cheese in a couple of days......
Love and Kindness all.
