One night, as I was having an orgasm, a thought occurred to me. Now what kind of beginning sentence is that—well it's what Clinton Palanca wrote on his essay “the Last Word”, and he did catch my attention. I wonder what his partner was thinking at that moment too... the author was multi tasking himself, thinking of something but doing another. He was then relating his culinary french experience to sex.
I recall a good friend of mine, who complained about his wife that in the middle of their love making the wife says, “have you paid the electric bills.” Now that is anti-climatic, don't you think. But then again, it's more hilarious than erotic. But back to my thoughts.
Well, as they say, food is the new sex. Let me go on to say that in both instances with food and sex, it should not be done in haste. Properly timed and rightly seasoned is what I could think it to be. We've heard tons about it and the book “aphrodite' describes it so vividly.
“A well thought out dinner forms a crescendo beginning with the pianissimo of the soup, passing through the delicate arpeggios of the appetizer, culminating with the fanfare of the main course, which is followed finally, by the dulcet chords of the dessert. The process is comparable to that of making love with style, beginning with insinuations, savoring erotic juices, reaching the climax with the usual crash of cymbals and finally sinking into pleasureful and well deserved repose.”
We've all heard about food pornography or such that there are words which can best describe an ingredient such as extra virgin olive oil or a menstruation red apple. And even in consumption or consummation of such, we take for granted that too much of a good thing doesn't lead to a desirable effect. We either become obese or a maniac.
Food like sex starts with the eyes. A melon like butt, or a luscious pear with ripe cherry tip, or how about a sturdy shape like banana protruding from the pants of a hunk. From the eyes it gradually works its way through its sense...but then again, how can we differentiate pornography with that of eroticism. Porno is method without inspiration, while the latter is inspiration without method. In Kitchenese lingo eroticism is using a feather, while pornography is using the whole hen. Got it?
Anyway, enough writing for the day. A good hand for making a sauce is like a good hand for giving a massage. So here's a recipe of a very popular Chile sauce to complement meats, fish and vegetables. You don't want to try it if you're frightened by things spicy...but then again I dare you to...
4 chile peppers (Jalapeno for example)
¼ cup lemon juice
¼ cup vegetable oil
1 tbsp. Salt
2 tbsp. Chopped chives
2 tbsp. Chopped cilantro
2 tbsp. Chopped parsley
3 tbsp. Vinegar
Split open peppers, remove seeds and devein and minced by hand. Let marinate for 30 minutes with lemon juice, and salt, then drain. Add all the remaining spices and herbs and the vinegar. Store in a sealed bottle in the refrigeratot until time to serve.
And finally, according to many, there are 4 food groups: pizza, coffee, chocolate and sex
And by the way, why do people smoke after eating or having sex?
