I had been sitting lost in thought. All of the sudden the food I had been absent-mindedly playing with on my plate caught my attention. Of course this was no ordinary meal. This was a special dinner being hosted by the Ambassador in her residence to celebrate the successful end of a project we had all been working on for years.
But more than just being excellent (which it was), it had just dawned on me where it came from. Not that anyone who had not been paying attention to things that the Ambassador had been talking would have necessarily recognized it. But the time we had spent together during which she talked with pride of her hydroponic gardening came back to me as I looked at the plate. Virtually everything there was something she had told me she was growing. The rice, beans, cabbage, peas, etc. all tasted fresher and had more crunch than I had ever experienced. This meal was clearly more special than even most of the guests realized.
