FOOD for THOUGHT

Why is it that most of us are food fanatics? We seem to be fond of 
fodder, gripped by grub, charmed by chow. The devotion to dining may be explained several ways, but the simplest, most compelling reason is: Food--- We can’t live without it.

Because food--- how it’s prepared, who does the preparing, where it’s consumed, which types are most popular--or not, and how much it costs, are topics we’re apt to think about daily, I thought Food would be a good theme for this week’s MM blog.

Logically, we begin with highlighting the preparation of our indulgences; and that master of gastronomic magic is none other than VINCENT.

Well then, let’s check in with a cluster of real chefs . . . and a two semi-professionals  

Moving outdoors for a breath of fresh air . . .

Perhaps at this point it’s best to forget the home dinner and go to a more practical location.  

Concerning the topic (over)eating, if it’s true that folks must occasionally “Pay the piper,” shouldn’t a more apt metaphor be  “Do Penance for the padding?”

Time out. Snack time.

Thanks for the emails with good remarks about the MMblog. I appreciate your spreading the word too, that there will be new cartoons and comments, diverse at least every ten days, more often each week.

Til soon,

Jim
