I Like It Hot

I have been talking about eating with purpose. One thing that forces me to slow down when I eat is having my food hot. I can clearly remember times when I was frustrated at my lack of sensual satisfaction because my food was too hot to pile into my mouth. I was so impatient that I burned my mouth. Then I whined because of what I did to myself. Had I paused and used the time that the food was cooling to change my attitude, I would have had a more satisfying perspective and I would have been able to enjoy the taste of the food without a burnt tongue. So, serve it hot. The temperature will make you slow down. Whether or not you use the opportunity is up to you.
