Been A While

Here's just a little bit that was shared on myspace. It's from a "major movie" director that I've been somewhat a fan of for years. It's interesting to watch a successful movie director do something like this. Maybe not interesting to you, but, it is someone famous just kinda acting normal or doing something normal to me.
Cooking. When I saw "Once Upon a Time in Mexico", the scene when Johnny Depp's Character killed the cook because the pork dish he just had was too good, I knew there was some reason why this was emphasized. Obviously the person behind the movie has a love for food.

There's a whole series of these I guess.
Just another example of how food and cooking is an art, it makes it's way into the arts. It affects the senses, it makes the heart swoon, it can infuriate, it can simmer the soul, it can cause nightmares, it can bring lives together, it can communicate peace, it can start historical events, it can ignite rage within the minds of those who work in it. What ever it does, it's world wide. "You gotta the rest of your life".
