“The only time to eat diet food is while you’re waiting for the steak to cook<\/em>.” \u00a0Julia Child<\/p>\n

I swear that is one of my favorite quotes.\u00a0Whatever your relationship with food, everyone has to eat. Indeed many of us have very strong feelings about food. We have experiences around food. Some of our best discussions happen over food. Our thanks, our welcomes, our condolences are often accompanied by food. We travel to experience new places and different cuisines.<\/p>\n

I grew up on a farm outside a small prairie town. We gathered together at fall suppers, after church lunches, banquets, and buffets. This time of year lunches and suppers are packed up and driven out to the fields to feed hungry harvesters. My Dad would have been up early and late coming in, working hard at getting the grain in the bins.<\/p>\n

When I was a kid sometimes my mother would make bread. She would cut off the heel of a still warm loaf, smear it with butter, and give us a taste. Delicious. When I smell of baking bread I think of my childhood kitchen. Another thing about my mom? She loves to bake. She usually follows up an invite to come and dine with an offer to bring something. We always, always, request dessert. You can trust my son to ask, “Is Grandma bringing dessert?”<\/p>\n

Memories and food go hand in hand.<\/p>\n

And food and romance? How many first dates take place at a restaurant? I had a friend who went out on a supper date with a guy who made the unfortunate mistake of ordering spaghetti. Not only was that first swirled fork full messy, it was piping hot. What’s a guy to do but spit it back out? That whole date was a gong show. I’m pretty sure it was also their last. Good thing she ended up with an entertaining tale to tell.<\/p>\n

There are all kinds of stories out there revolving around food. That’s what Tuesday’s Table is about. You’ll find those stories, maybe a recipe, some pictures, guest bloggers and the books they write. Starting next Tuesday you can find them here.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Sometimes, you get to dine with princesses in a Disney castle.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

If you’re lucky, you’ll find a Knight in Shining Armour.<\/p><\/div>\n

Our character lunch at Disney World was one of those memorable kind of meals. As soon as we stepped into that castle and saw Cinderella in all her finery I felt eight years old again. The meal was excellent and afterwards we spent time with Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Ariel, and Belle. Again, it took me back to my childhood. We ate all our meals at the kitchen table, except on those occasional Sundays when CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Channel) aired a Disney movie. Out came the TV trays, we filled out plates and headed to the family room for a treat. With access to only two channels, you made the most of those opportunities.<\/p>\n

Have a memorable meal in your past? One you’ll always remember?<\/p>\n

\u201cDining with one\u2019s friends and beloved family is certainly one of life\u2019s primal and most innocent delights, one that is both soul-satisfying and eternal.<\/em>\u201d \u00a0Julia Child<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
