Oh yes. The love stored up and shared from the searching, procuring, preparing and serving of food.

Your Mom and my Dad had identical food minds.
As kids our first reaction was the same…yuck, then try it. Sometimes great,other times, what are you feeding us??!

One of my first thoughts from your piece…asparagus risotto. Today I crave it every spring.

My Dad would have eaten the beetles and (sad to say) the sparrows. I remember that my Mom was a terrific home chef, but he taught her to branch out.
