I got to work and after about 3 hours I began to get hungry. Very hungry. I took a couple of sandwiches with me for lunch but I didn't feel like eating those. Just didn't want what I had packed the night before. I kept on working for about thirty minutes and I just could not go on any longer. I had to get something to eat. Luckily we have a 24 hour "grab n go" where they sell chips, sodas, candy bars etc.. I chose to get a hot tomato and basal soup, a ham and cheese sandwich, a diet Pepsi and dark chocolate blueberries. I went back to my department, set up my meal and started to eat. It was one of the most enjoyable meals I have ever had. I so enjoyed dipping my sandwich in my nice hot soup and eating it that way. I mean everything, every bite was magnificent. All the way to the very last bite of my chocolate covered blueberries to the last swallow of my soda, it was so so good. I can honestly say that out of all the parties and potluck food I've been through all my life, this one little meal tops them all. Sure there has been "better" food before, but just the timing and the chance, the perfect storm, if you will, of this one tiny meal surpassed anything.
I think the fact that I was so hungry and the unexpected fact that I decided to dip my sandwich in my soup made this simple yet fulfilling experience a joy to remember. OK, I'm making a big deal out of a dinner meal. Yes, but to me, it was great.
My point in blogging about this is because sometimes the simple things in life bring the most pleasure. Something so mundane can sometimes be so wonderful.
