Sun-Dried Tomato Dip

Where do my our ideas come from?  Often, I do not know.  Cooking for me, and for many, is a spiritual, intuitive process.  These ideas come to me at night, in the morning, when I pray.  They just come to me.  Now this recipe is not to complicated or earth shattering.  The important point here is that all of us can find our joy.  I find mine through my cooking.  The ideas just flow to me all the time.  I think that is truly what being connected to a higher power is.  It is getting your physical self out of the way and letting the information/energy flow.  Now this is only a Sun-dried tomato dip.  But the concept applies regardless of the depth or complexity of the recipe.
