The Word According to…

The other day i was in the bookstore and as I always do (foodie that I am), I peruse the cooking section..religiously (smiles). I don’t know why I never noticed the number of cooking “bibles” there were. In fact, i own a number of these “bibles” in my extensive collection of cookbooks. My initial reaction was that perhaps the authors of these books were being a bit sacrilegious. But the more I thought about it, the more convinced I am that perhaps not.

Consider: During most of our major holidays…at least the ones with religious meaning…food plays a major part. Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter, Ramadan and Hanukkah to name a few. Couple this with the fact that most churches and religions have all sorts of events planned around sharing a meal. Frankly, I am amazed.

This begs the question of why we can’t all get along better. I mean if we all sat down to a meal together, maybe the world would be a better place. After all, who do you know, that isn’t happy sharing a well cooked meal? So with that thought in your head…Happy Easter, one and all.
