Mealtime at our home has been an epicurean adventure. The meals that arrive regularly from dear friends nurture us on many levels. Foremost is the kindness and caring that comes with the preparation and presentation of food. Sharing of food is primordial. It touches deep places, ancient places. The breaking of bread is archetypal. Companionship has pan, bread, at its center. The sharing of food, then, affirms connection, community, and caring.
There is an aesthetic aspect to food as well. What a delight to sample the culinary inspiration from so many kitchens, from so many hearts. The cuisine varies from comforting rustic to exotic ethnic, all of which provide an array of smells, tastes, and textures. WOW!
We are grateful and honored to be cared for and to be fed in body, mind, and spirit.
