Ruth Reichl's memoir, "Save Me the Plums," reflects on the nature of luxury and how it is truly appreciated in moderation. The author emphasizes that indulging in luxurious experiences too frequently can diminish their appeal, transforming something special into a mundane routine.
This insight serves as a reminder that the enjoyment of life's finer things relies on rarity. By savoring these moments rather than allowing them to become commonplace, we maintain their allure and enhance our overall appreciation of such experiences.
