SWEET. SOUR, BITTER, PUNGENT

SWEET. SOUR, BITTER, PUNGENT ALL MUST BE TASTED.
Chinese Proverb

I have been living in life's sour zone (of late).....bitter on the tongue but not in the heart. Now life is sweet, I know that for sure. But sour is the the flavor of the near past and present for me.
So, the Universe reaches out to me today, as it is want to do when I begin to dawdle in self-pity. It whispers in my ear; sweet, sour, bitter, pungent is the alchemy of life. ALL MUST BE TASTED.
I am moving out of sour today. Balance is in order, sweet, sour, bitter, pungent.... all compliment each other, combined they tantalize the taste buds and heighten the senses. Now for the fun of finding just the right combination for a gold star recipe.
