My Reflections

For the Love of Food

PROMPT September 4th

If the Internet disappeared tomorrow, how would you continue to share your love of food?

Awe, back to the good old days. Lol

There are so many ways even better than the Internet for sharing a love of food. What is better than posting your favorite recipe on social media or emailing it to family you ask? Well, that's easy. First, you cook it. Then you take samples of it to those around you like your neighbors. You make new friends. You invite friends and family to your house to eat and share your favorite foods.

When I was a young girl, the way you welcomed a new neighbor into the neighborhood was by cooking them something delicious and offering it to them. That was how you met and made friends with your new neighbors.

Social media, texting, instant messaging, and emails have become our norm instead. A personal touch or physical encounter is always better than a virtual one. Virtual one's are great when you live in another state or town far away, but for those closer to you, we should bring physical contact back into play.

As far back as I can remember, church fellowships, family get together, and visiting friends involved the love of food. Food was the centerpiece of those get together. I am sure we all have a lot of great memories surrounding food.
