I'm a card-carrying nostalgic foodie
Just got my new membership card to Slow Food, the international movement that was catalyzed by a McDonald's being opened at Rome's Spanish Steps.
I'm using a quote from the founder in my RoadMap seminar:
To be slow means that you govern the rhythms of your life. You are in control of deciding how fast you have to go. Today, you might want to go fast, so you do. Tomorrow, however, you might want to go slow, so you can. That is the difference.It is useless to force the rhythms of life. If I live with the anxiety to go fast, I will not live well. My addiction to speed will make me sick. The art of living is about learning how to give time to each and every thing. If I have sacrificed my life to speed, then that is impossible. Ultimately, 'slow' means to take the time to reflect. It means to take the time to think. With calm, you arrive everywhere. - Carlo Petrini

Hi David,
Here is Silvia from BH, Minas Gerais, Brazil. I just found an article in Slow Food website about my town. Here we can not complain we are not in France or Italy. The state of Minas Gerais holds the most traditional food in this country and we can eat very well everywhere in this city. It is simple and delicious.

I like the passage. It goes with one of my favorite sayings:
"He who has patience can have what he will."
