While I always have plenty of ideas about food, I often go through periods of time in which I'm relatively uninspired about other areas of my life. It's related to the seasons, but it's not just that--it's partly my unique ups and downs, which affect my perception of everyday life in ways I'm not always aware of. I didn't even realize I had been in a bit of a funk this past winter until I started to come out of it at the beginning of May, and I think it all started with some really good blackberries. (Have you had any blackberries yet this season? Maybe it's just me, and I admit that I may be biased because blackberries are my favorite fruit, but I think this year's have been the best I've ever had.)
Luckily, I usually find that once I'm sufficiently inspired by any single thing, inspiration starts popping up everywhere. Ever since I entered an inspirational period of sorts this month, it's felt like whoever or whatever is in charge of inspiration is yelling at me to be constantly inspired with a huge marquee made of flashing lights.
