Food and Friends

Food is good! Food is important. This blog is about food that I like, including recipes.
Food is about life. The right food promotes the best health and keeps one feeling good. The physical, mental, and social all intersect when we are talking about food.

Food is about relationships, friends and family. If you want to get along with someone, eat with them. Food has a way of enhancing relationships.

Jesus ate with lots of people and he even fed them. He is my example. The Bible promises a feast in heaven. Food goes with celebrations. Good times call for good food.

Food goes with comfort in hard times, sad times and times of grieving. The practice of bringing food to the hurting and grieving is recorded even in the old testament thousands of years ago and crosses many cultures. And who hasn't heard of comfort foods for those times when things aren't quite the way we would like them to be?

Food is about culture. We enjoy the food of our culture the most. At the very basic level, food is about survival. We must eat to live. Food is a sensory experience. It has texture, taste, scent, sometimes sound and visual aspects. Food is good.
