Did you know our taste buds wear out and regenerate every ten days? Our taste sensors located in the mouth, primarily on the tongue, but also on the palate, pharynx and tonsils.
Today, I encourage you to take the time to explore a way to increase your capacity for pleasure in your taste for life. First begin to seek out something unusual, maybe check out ethnic grocery stores? Be open and curious, there is so much out there in our world that is waiting to be discovered. Begin by preparing something different for dinner this week.
Then take a step to clean out your spice cabinet. Variety is the spice of life, and fresh spices provide our sense of taste with variety. We often let our spices go years, yes, years without being replaced. You deserve to cook with fresh spices and flavors. Maybe you keep these items so you won't be caught short. Maybe you don't cook often enough to go through a container and therefore, they sit year after year. You owe it to yourself and those who you love to cook with fresh ingredients. Maybe it will take a few extra moments to prepare a meal. Yet, these meals are what nourishes your body. You owe it to yourself, and your palate will thank you.
Go, seek, find, something that will reawaken your senses and taste for life and living.
