What are you waiting for?
When I was a young cook working to support my growing beer habit; it never would have occurred to me that there was anything sexy about food……..well other than getting one of the waitresses in the sack
(servers for the p.c.) As I’ve gotten older, and some may say wiser I’ve been fortunate to have that view forever altered.
Hunger like desire is a primal need we all have. We correlate many of the same sense memory with food and sex. As far back as man dates civilizations have made the connection. It’s recorded that ancient Italian, and Greek cultures enjoyed fresh fruits and dishes that awakened their senses and playfulness with their lover.
Food and sex share things like aromatics, texture, taste, and color. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve looked at a ripe peach and gotten aroused. All kidding aside the visual effects of food and that of people finding each other attractive are not that different. There’s a saying “You eat with your eyes first.” Just as seeing another person if you don’t find it visually appealing you probably won’t go in for a closer look. Food and sex both release endorphin opiates in the brain bringing us pleasure. Smell is definitely something I find sexy in both food and a woman. If you want evidence of the link there go look at the shelves at your local bath shop. As for texture I’ll leave that to your imagination.
Today as people look at food in a new light there are all sorts of gastronomic phenomena’s happening. Our day and age is indeed a very sexy time for food. As people start to look inward about food, cultural cross-references and compliments are adding a whole new level in fact, the use of once exotic and unavailable products adds excitement, as well as color and undiscovered flavors. You can liken it to that first kiss between two new lovers if you’d like. Do your self and your lover a favor, and go explore the ethnic markets in your neighborhood (whole foods don’t count) you will be pleased with the exxxciting new taste sensations and vigor they provide (I.e. lead in the pencil.) And man when those new aromas and tastes take over; that is dead SEXY! The link cannot be ignored between sexy and taboo, who hasn’t seen something that shocks them at first then turns them the hell on? With food it’s a bit easier to break those taboos (not discouraging you to not break others you may have, just that the food ones are easier to do.) go for it!!!!!! Do it pretend that your mother, or the priest ,or nun from school who long told you you’d burn for indulging in such pleasures, is standing right there in front of you Look them square in the eye and BITE!. The experience is so overwhelming that you may need a clean pair of trousers.
With Valentines Day approaching I’d like to share a secret to a sexy evening. Instead of going out to a packed restaurant, looking like every other chump who only cares about her/him one day a year; try an evening in! Have your date arrive early to help you prepare your romantic and sexy feast, be sure to have sensual music playing. I suggest the Cocteau twins, or Massive Attack. Miles Davis or Dean Martin would do nicely. Hell Slayer or mc chris will work; whatever gets your juices flowing. Set the light low and have all of the pre-production ready. This will allow you two to cook and flirt with more ease. While in the kitchen offer up a finger covered in sauce, or what have you for your partner to lick clean. Talk and ask playful question (not too playful lest you start humping right away and burn the food.) When the food is finished take you respective places at the table and enjoy the food and each other. Be sure the distance between you is close enough to continue flirting. The rest of the evening is up to you, but this is a great and fun way to spend a night, and your girl or guy will appreciate you for not being a schlub and doing something from the heart. Until next time try new food and always keep it sexy!

The Crisp Cold Morning
I walk into the crisp cold morning
looking at the flickering lights which signify my neighbors Christmas cheer
I wonder this morning does she think of me
or are we nothing but a distant memory faded by the miles which separate us
Will we meet again under the flickering light?
Kissing embracing whispering thoughts of desire in each others ears
Her my lost lover who was driven away
does she remember our un-kept promises or have they faded in her mind like her picture I keep in my mind
While turning to go inside I hear her whisper my name
the wind is cruel in the crisp cold morning
