Not By Bread Alone
I'm very excited to share with you that I've written a Guest Post for The ConverStation, which is the blog for 90.9 WBUR, Boston's local NPR Station.
As you can probably guess, the post is about my thoughts on food and social media. I learned about food at my mother's knee, so I shared this picture of the two of us when I was still a wee little one. Writing this was an absolute delight.
I hope you'll read the post. And I want to thank Ken George for the opportunity to share my thoughts.

Congrats on the guest post.
Will go and read your guest post.
s - You got it! That's cake smeared all over my face. And I cannot say that was the last time that happened. ; )
nance - I'm more of a "word" person, but the food = love equation is one that I can understand! :D
asha - Thank you! I love her dress too! I was telling her that she looks very "Michelle O" in the picture. : )
great article, too! i agree. sharing a meal brings people together like nothing else. i would also add that there is a unique joy in cooking for people who enjoy eating. to feed people is to nurture them and make them feel good, and i think that kind of gesture is so important in this global climate.
josephine - Thank you so much. And I agree that to cook for someone really is to nurture them on a very primal level. If we want to really go back to when we were babies, someone else feeding us was a matter of life or death.
cynthia - Thank you! And I appreciate your comment over there too!
Congrats on the guest post. :-) The point you made about people relaxing with food is a good one. Sadly, I don't think everyone does it though. My husband and I've noticed that lots of people come and go while we're enjoying a meal out together. Anyway, you're right, food, family, and friends all go together in often magical ways.
