Whilst it's nice to have enough money to be comfortable,I personally would'nt like to have so much money that you can afford everything you want and not have anything to work towards.
Life would in my opinion be very boring and worthless.

.. exactly, and this is why I purposely don't become rich!

I were forced to chose my favourite overall meal ever, it would be a difficult choice, but I'd plump for a meal we had in France.

Mine was with friends in theBolognese mountains somewhere: I could never find my way back, and I have a pretty good sense of direction.

DH and I had gone to stay with them and they drove us miles and miles up for about an hour, with views that would make a mountain goat feel a little queasy, then eventually, to my relief, we drove into what seemed like the entrance to a cave and opened out into a beautiful clearing with the amazingly busy little restaurant above a mountain stream. We paddled in the stream with our friends triligbual son giving us words we struggles to translate and then sat around the most amazed plate of crudo with gnocci friti light as clouds and large flavoured with salt and rosemary..the pesto of that region, and drank red wne tht would soften my nerves for the decent. There was no choice, as in my favourtie restaurants in France, you eat what you are given, and its delicious and perfectly seasonal. It ws a simple meal, but so perfect, so beautiful, and totally hidden from anyone but locals..and we felt like we had been granted entry to a private delight.

I've treid and trid, but I canot replcate those gnoochi friti as light as that.
