		<description>Hi Patricia - food is always a great way to connect.  And folk who get you to have a drink now and then are always welcome visitors.

Jeff sounds interesting.  I would love to work in a National Park for a while but I must admit - I&#039;d probably die of fright if I saw a bear close up.

We have a restaurant in town where every time we go we end up eating with old friends and staying until they close.
Food and Friends so vital...

		<description>Food and friends sort of sums up my life.

I make it a habit to meet with old friends and new each week and my favorite haunts.  It helps me stay connected, reflect on the past, and dream up the future.  It&#039;s always a great change of pace from my daily routine.

		<description>Hi Patricia, 

Like you, I like breaking bread with friends. And an occasional drink is good, too. 

I have so many memories shared over food. And sometimes the conversation was so good, we didn&#039;t even taste what was in front of us. 

Your friend Jeff sounds like a great guy. I wish him well on his travels to Ethiopia. When he returns, you&#039;ll have to share more of his stories.

		<description>Tess,
Thank you for coming on by...oh I remember sitting up half the night and talking with friends over wine and the latest care package from someone&#039;s mother.  

Yes!  those Lobster church dinners do sound very good - Maine- ish or Nova Scotia childhood dinners?
Good stuff</description>

		<description>My mom would have to be the one I bonded with over food. She LOVED to cook. When I became a vegatarian much to her dismay she would make me big salads, call me un and say come on over!

In Michigan one of my favorite restaurants was &#039;Roses.&#039; I&#039;d meet my two therapist friends there and the three of us would chat, eat good food and drink wine. 

I don&#039;t know what church Jannie Bunannie goes to but I want some of that lobster!

I think we bond with food and our mother&#039;s at birth!

		<description>Jannie,
The first time my in-laws came to my house it was a rainy, cold 4th of July so I made Thanksgiving dinner for them too...it rather warmed up the whole event, and softened their thoughts about me.

Food and friends are a winning combination.</description>

		<description>I would love to be there sharing food with you, sounds like a lot of fun.  And I&#039;d most likely entice you to join me in a drink too.

Food, food, food.  What a bringer-together of people.  Church lobster and turkey suppers.  Bake sales.  Picnics.  Too many to ever recollect really. 

One meal I do cherish (and have photos of,) is when my penpal, Christine,  from France came to stay with us for a couple of weeks in July &#039;95.  I made her and her son &quot;Thanksgiving In July,&quot; and it was a highlight, as they do not celebrate that holiday over there.  I made the dinner with a large chicken intead of a turkey, but with all the usual trimmings. Pumpkin pie for dessert, of course.

And we had so much fun.  That was back when we still had our old kitchen and I love looking at the photos, I just ran across them the other day.  I&#039;ll post them on my blog some day.   Good times!  Good times indeed.
