Welcome to the Daily Quote – a podcast designed to kickstart your day in a positive way. I'm Andrew McGivern for December 2nd.Today is National Fritters Day. Deep-fried dough, filled with whatever you want. Apple. Corn. Zucchini. Pure comfort.
Doesn't sound like the healthiest food but they sure taste good. And even if we are on a strict healthy diet we all deserve a cheat day... right?Maybe today can be that day!Lets jump right into todays quote from food writer Laurie Colwin who once said:"A person cooking is a person giving. Even the simplest food is a gift."Fritters prove this. Nothing fancy. Just batter, heat, and whatever filling you have.But someone stood at a stove. Someone fried them. Someone gave them to someone else.That's the gift. Not perfection. But effort.Today, make something simple. Fritters, if you want. Or anything.Remember Colwin's truth: cooking is giving. Even simple food matters.Especially simple food.That's going to do it for today. I'm Andrew McGivern signing off for now but I'll be back tomorrow. Same Pod time, same Pod Station - with another Daily Quote.
