As many of you probably know, one of the foods that I dislike is tomatoes. So I am not a very good salsa maker for obvious reasons. This past Sunday afternoon a friend of mine came over to teach the kitchen staff at Divine how to make a good salsa, because what we were serving was just ok. I must admit when they were done even I kind of liked it, but they all thought it was great and so did a few of my other friends who tried it later.
This got me thinking about how many foods are best when there are many flavors blended together. Foods like lasagna, all kinds of soups, and salsa, are usually better the next day, because it takes time for the subtle blending of the flavors and textures to make the dish the best it can be.
Working at Divine for nearly 6 months, I have watched as the various personalities have mixed together; some taking leadership and others just being hard workers in the background, have blended together to make a team. It is a strong team when they communicate and work together. They have learned their strengths and weaknesses and allow others to assist when necessary. I have been blessed to be added into the mix, like the lime juice at the end to make it just so, by helping to pull all the flavors together. It is delicious!
