Winter is the season for foodies. Who says winter must be cold and boring? I want to say that winter has its own unique mood. If you look carefully, you can experience the heavy warmth. Taste the ups and downs one by one, which is also a beautiful thing.
Food records memories and childhood, and childhood photos are hidden in the drawer. A young girl of five or six years old, with two ponytails and a red face, standing in the snow and eating an triangle cake with relish. The reason why I call it a triangle is because the shape is a triangle. This is the name I randomly named, so let’s use it for now. I can no longer remember the uncle from Xinjiang who sold cakes, nor do I know where he went to the world. But I still remember the taste of that triangle cake. I took a bite and it was extremely crispy and the salty fragrance lingered between my lips and teeth for a long time. The first time I ate it was because of crying, my mother bought it to coax me. Later, because I was greedy for it, I would cry as long as I wanted to eat it. I cried as many times as I ate. Later, I walked through many cities, visited many places where food gathered, and never tasted the triangle cakes I used to be from when I was a child.
Food contains longings, people always have nostalgia plots, I always think that the food in my hometown is deeply loved by my heart. In the past, I studied abroad and leaned against the beach to taste all kinds of seafood. Perhaps the taste in the north is slightly stronger, and all dishes are mainly salty and spicy, but they still can't get used to it. I can’t help but miss the delicious food of Jiangnan , Dongpo pork , Osmanthus cake , lotus leaf steamed pork, Osmanthus glutinous rice lotus root , I can’t think about it, the saliva flows down as soon as I think about it. I often lean against the window and look at the hazy moon in the sky, my thoughts fly thousands of miles away. What food is my mother making at this time? I still remember that every winter, my mother would always let me sit by the stove to keep warm, throw a red sweet potato into the fire, and rub my hands, and then I couldn't help but turn it around. Is it delicious? I was really tempted by the fragrance. Finally, when the sweet potatoes were cooked, I hurriedly picked them out, kept whipping them upside down, blew them hard, peeled off the skin, and bite them down, and they were sweet and soft. At this time, the mother smiled and said, "Slow down, but no one is competing with you."
Food can heal people's hearts. It is not without reason to turn grief and anger into appetite. Life is very depressing, and there is always delicious food that can arouse a hint of sweetness in your heart. Just like in the current winter, the wind is cold. Sitting indoors, isolate the cold outside the window, prepare some favorite ingredients, and sauté a hot pot. If you can't eat spicy food, make an soup pot . Looking at the bubbles in the pot and the whole family surrounded the smokey hot pot, how could they feel cold? Inside and outside the house are two levels of heaven. In addition to seafood and meat, hot pot must be made of vegetables. Vegetables must be fresh, green lettuce, lettuce, etc. Pick a piece of ingredients and put them in a boiling pot. You can eat it in a short while. If you add your favorite beef sauce and dip it in, it is also excellent. At this time, don’t worry about the howling cold wind outside the door. With these delicacies accompanying you, the taste buds will open and the whole stomach will be warm. This is the taste of winter! If you are not happy yet, you can chat around the fire at night, cook a pot of tea, chat about family matters, and talk about the world until the moon is sleepy.
Food is the most important thing for people, the search on the tip of their tongues and the nourishment on their souls. Slowly appreciate the colors of the world, and watch everything for the longest time. Slowly boil the wind and flowers, stew the snow and moon carefully, and eat and do everything in all directions, just a bowl of fireworks on earth. The most real happiness in life is the gentleness of the dim lights and the fulfillment of food, food, food, oil and salt. Don't forget to have a good meal.

I have a pot of wine that is enough to comfort the dust. In the drunken time, use shallow words to soothe your soul.
