The Friday Feed needs a little revamp. I enjoy food, cooking and creating with it, but sharing recipes is getting a little old. Food is integral to our lives - for our everyday meals, for energy, for our health, for social interaction, for comfort and celebrations, for memories.
The Friday Feed will remain but with a little twist. It will be a food chronicle with a little slant: an original haiku will accompany the story. That's going to be 52 haikus from now until the end of the year. You might be thinking, haikus are easy - three lines with 17 syllables (5-7-5) - but they're not quite as easy as you think. Typically haiku are about nature and depict a specific moment in time. Mine will reflect on a personal insight based on an observation or experience from my kitchen.
The extra gift from Christmas, bean soup featuring the leftover Christmas ham. Black-eyed peas are supposed to be THE good luck bean for a New Year's meal but when your family doesn't like black-eyed peas, you substitute and make an unforgettable ham and bean soup that warms their tummies and their hearts. New Year's day was windy, gray, cloudy, with a little spit of snow. A perfect soup day.
