Linger and engage

With many of us working remotely (from home) in this age of Covid-19, we find some of our eating routine disrupted, altered, changed in some way. Maybe you used to get your breakfast or lunch on the road. You know that morning brew from your favourite shop or café, the dhal puri, egg ball, cassava ball and cane juice from a particular stand. All to set you right for the day. Lunch is always at or from (fill in the blank). But now you are home, how are you to get your ‘fix’?

How about not worrying so much about getting out to get something to eat or drink but spending the time at home making it yourself? Take the time to make something and make it from scratch. Sit down to eat and do so slowly, really immersing yourself in the experience.
