Money: A Convenient Excuse or, The Case For Grandma's Tortillas

I’ve been lucky enough to have meals at 3 Michelin Star restaurants and despite the cutting-edge preparation techniques, absurd wine lists, and bespoke table wear, none of them have made me feel the way my grandma's homemade tortillas did. Just a few ingredients rolled out with a wooden dowel borrowed from an old clothes rack, cooked in a modest home.

Although worlds apart in some ways, both experiences were created with love, both were gifts from people who care to people who appreciate those gifts, and both formed life-long memories.

Money is a convenient excuse to hide behind because no matter how much you have, what you wish you could do requires just a little bit more. But money doesn’t create experiences, people create experiences, and you're already a person, so you already have everything you need.
