Maybe it’s old fashioned, but I love making Jam. Maybe someday I’ll be famous and I’ll sell people Jam that warms their hearts. Because that’s really what’s important is that people are happy. I mean besides a couple of other majorly important things which I won’t really get into now, but yeah, of course it’s important that people are happy. And one thing that most certainly is underrated is Jam. People should enjoy Jam more. They should taste the Jam I make and hopefully one day they will. It’s the little things in life that count though is really what I’m getting at, and Jam is definitely one of those cool often under appreciated things in a world of amazingly wonderful little things.

Someone once said that little things reflect big things, and they were right. If you can enjoy the little things; I think you can be happy. Besides Jam, I think people should cook more. Cooking is another one of those heavily underestimated wonderful little things. And cooking is great because it brings people together. It’s also a healthy outlet. I mean you can be as messy of a cook as a paint slinging artist or you can be as cool and composed and precise as a readily polished professional connoisseur of fine foods. You can also be as creative as you want when it comes to food to. I mean there are endless food possibilities and no real food ‘don’ts’ to curtail your efforts of creating a hysterically impossible yet edibly contagious masterpiece.

I didn’t even start to mention how much healthier people would be if they actually prepared their own food either did I. Especially if they actually sat down and ate it! Now whoa, there’s an amazing concept! What, no dashboard dining? No, warmed up and repeatedly reheated, preservative, hydrogenated whatever filled, fat filled, fast food cheeseburgers?! Wow, how would the world turn you might ask. I know, you just get so used to it. But that’s why it’s good to be original and brilliant and break from the mold every now and then.

And I don’t mean in an original Wendy’s commercial moment either (you know the ones where there’s always some instantly enlightened guy to how dumb something actually is that everyone else is doing wherefore he immediately decides to have a Wendy’s Cheeseburger). No I mean in the true spirit of culinary artistry. Where actual creative energy and passion dwell over more than just the filling instant of the food, but over the actual taste and quality and beauty of food created lovingly and patiently just for you. Maybe even prepared by someone else special if your lucky enough (wink, wink). Hey, you could definitely use this article as your persuasion.
