The book has been wonderful and has inspired me to be more mindful and adopt some French eating rules into my life as well. As a result of reading the book, I have decided to adopt some easy but meaningful challenges into my life over the next few months. The first one is based on rules #4 and #8 – “No distractions” and “slow food is happy food.”
No Distractions
My fiance and I have pledged to eat together for every meal – not at our desks, not with the TV on, and not with any additional distractions – for the entire month of May. It will be hard, especially when I feel guilty away from my desk for a while, but I think it will be really good.
Slow Food is Happy Food
We’ll also make an attempt to slow down when we eat – “slow food is happy food.” We will attempt to slow our bites, savor, don’t rush from the table, make eating dinner a relaxing experience. There are a few French artists Karen Le Billon mentions adding to a playlist for dinner, and I made sure to put them together on our Spotify for nice, slow food listening.
