All hail the French Pigwich!
This glorious concoction of eggs, ham, bacon, cheese and mayonnaise on a toasted croissant is my occasional breakfast indulgence on a weekend or holiday (or both as happened yesterday morning for Valentine’s Day). It’s one of the delectable edibles on offer at my favorite cafe – Professor Java’s.
One of the integral tenets in finding and curating happiness is regularly indulging in the savoring of things you enjoy. Not just treating yourself, but taking the time to mindfully make the most of each moment of the experience. Too often we rush and hurry to get to dessert or the weekend or a vacation, and our momentum then propels us through that goal at the same relentless pace.
It should come as no surprise that I try to find moments and little sweet treats in every day to practice savoring and slowing down, such as in this delicious French Pigwich. Far more than just a serviceable breakfast to sustain the body’s basic needs, it is an opportunity to savor the care and deliciousness that went into its creation – from the kindness of the person taking the order to the skilled culinary work of the person who made it, to the great fortune of being alive and healthy and able to sit and enjoy a leisurely breakfast on a Saturday morning.
The act and the art of savoring builds upon happiness and contentment. Little annoyances fall by the wayside. Light is always more powerful than darkness.
