I made tortillas tonight. There is something about the simple ingredients: whole wheat flour, oil, salt, water… that make me feel wholly involved in the making-eating-nutrition process. They are the best tortillas I have ever eaten.
I didn’t see the face of the Virgin Mary in one tonight, but I felt a spirited connectedness when I ate it.
Ahh, food for the soul…
Isn’t it funny how things like flour or the face of God can impact us in such small and meaningful ways?
