America's Test Kitchen offers such wonderful unusual fun facts as it dispenses wisdom about all things cooking. One fun fact I learned the other day reading their magazine is that they tested the perfect height for shaking spices onto dishes that are cooking. They discovered, if I remember correctly, that four inches was too close and fifteen inches was too far away. The proper height to maximize the dispersion of flavours is ( drum roll please) twelve inches.
Hmmm.... makes one wonder if we are spreading our own little seasonings to life amongst the population, what is the proper distance? How close should one spread Joy? How far away should one keep sorrow?
We all have those distances with which we are most comfortable depending on the circumstances. If we're watching someone melt down or , by the same token, kissing in public my guess is we're probably hangin' back a bit.
Cute kids? Even if we don't know them we're in their faces to smoodgy woodgy on them and let them know they brighten the world.
Your ex anything? Depends on the nature of the before and after of the break up doesn't it?
New friend? We're probably sprinkling at four inches until we get to know each other better.
Dog with drool? Way, way back.
So... take a day and see where you stand on seasoning the world with your presence. I'm going to just for fun.
Love,
Deborah
