Sharing Food
"Sharing food with another human being is an intimate act that should not be indulged in lightly."
~M.F.K. Fisher~
Standing at the kitchen counter, we quickly gulp down a cup of coffee and breakfast bar, then rush off to work. Lunch may be a package of processed food we microwave and eat at our desk or an all-too-familiar burger from a fast-food joint. Dinner... Do we even have time for dinner?
Even the simplest food can seem like a feast when we set the table, gather friends or family, and sit down together to eat. We share our joys and our concerns as we share our food.
I will make at least one meal today an occasion. I won't skimp on the "service". I'll use a napkin, sit at the table, and maybe even light a candle.
