Food

Writers block began early yesterday morning. I had been struggling with what my next article for the Examiner should be. So instead of trolling on-line for ideas, I started with what I know best: food and taking pictures. The pictures that captured my attention this morning were all of cakes…And that is how I came to writing: Let Them eat cake (and Candy). I then scanned through some of my favorite food pictures. I have always been known as somewhat of a foodie, although I despise the term. My close group of friends called us the porker club, in college. It just meant that we loved food. It stuck, and the five of us still gather together from across the globe annually to enjoy in a weekend of food, laughter and friendship. The food may have changed since college, but we each in our own right are foodies. Food brings people together. It is beautiful and can create memories. Or maybe it is just the foodies who remember weekends that are defined by, “We had lobster on The Cape” or, “was that in Chicago where we found that cupcake place?” or “that was the weekend we ate gourmet ice cream by the spoonfuls in Columbus, Ohio?” Could there be a better way to ring in 2010 then with pictures of food? I thought not... Happy New Year!
