  Dot com Welcome to the Daily Quote, a podcast designed to
• 0:06
  kick start your day in a positive way.
• 0:08
  I'm our host Anna McGivern for November 6th.
• 0:11
  Today is National Nachos Day, celebrating one of the world's
• 0:14
  most perfect sharing foods. Nachos were invented in 1943 by
• 0:19
  Ignacio Nacho Anaya in Piedras Negres, Mexico.
• 0:24
  When a group of Military Wives arrived at his restaurant after
• 0:28
  closing time, Nacho improvised with what he had tortilla chips,
• 0:33
  cheese and jalapenos. He named the dish nachos
• 0:38
  Especiales. That simple creation became a
• 0:42
  global phenomenon. What makes nachos special isn't
• 0:46
  just the melted cheese or the perfect crunch.
• 0:50
  It's that they're meant to be shared.
• 0:52
  You don't order nachos for yourself, you order them for the
• 0:55
  table. And that brings us to today's
• 0:58
  quote from celebrity chef Yada De Laurentiis, who once said
• 1:04
  food brings people together on many different levels.
• 1:07
  It's nourishment of the soul and body.
• 1:10
  It's truly love. Nachos are the perfect example
• 1:15
  of this truth. When that loaded platter hits
• 1:18
  the table, something magical happens.
• 1:21
  Conversation start and reach in from all directions.
• 1:26
  Someone always comments on the cheese pull.
• 1:29
  Someone else warns about the hot jalapeno.
• 1:33
  Cheering nachos breaks down barriers.
• 1:36
  It doesn't matter if you just met or if you've known each
• 1:39
  other for years. When you're both reaching for
• 1:42
  the same plate, you're connected.
• 1:44
  And here's what the Laurentiis understood.
• 1:48
  Food is more than calories. It's communion.
• 1:52
  When we share a meal, we're sharing trust, time and
• 1:56
  presents. We're saying I want you to be
• 1:59
  here. I want to be here with you
• 2:03
  today. Share something, invite someone
• 2:07
  to lunch, bring snacks to the office, order the appetizer
• 2:11
  sampler, or even better, share actual nachos.
• 2:15
  Watch what happens when you push that plate to the center of the
• 2:18
  table and say help yourself. Because when we share food,
• 2:23
  we're practicing something deeper.
• 2:25
  We're practicing generosity, trust and presence.
• 2:29
  We're nourishing more than bodies.
• 2:32
  So celebrate National Nachos Day by remembering the best meals
• 2:36
  aren't about what's on the plate.
• 2:38
  They're about who's at the table.
• 2:41
  That's going to do it For today. I'm Andrew McGivern, signing off
• 2:43
  for now, but I'll be back tomorrow.
