company

I wonder why, when you are in the company of someone you love and admire, that no matter what you are doing, it is only the experience of being with that company that you remember?

I went to dinner tonight with my little brother and his precious wife. We had Mexican, and boy have I been starving for Mexican food. I looked forward with anticipation to going all afternoon, mentally tasting the variety of heavenly offerings that I would be enjoying. Funny thing though, I ordered my favorite shrimp quesadillas, but can not really remember eating them. These shrimp quesadillas are filled with large, grilled spicy grilled shrimp. The shrimp are firm to bite into and the flavor explodes in your mouth. They are encased in smooth, melted Mexican white cheese, and served between two crisp, grilled tortillas. I love them, but more than the quesadillas, I loved the company. As a matter of fact, I actually brought half of my order home, because as usual, I was so busy talking, I didn't have time to eat! So, how is it that social interraction with someone you care about takes precedence over your favorite culinary specialty? I wonder how feeding the soul is more important than feeding the body? I don't know, but I can tell you in my case, it just is!
