All this talk about food is making me hungry!

United States
November 5, 2015 12:25pm CST
Why do we talk about food? Why do we write about food? Because it is one thing we all have in common. We might not eat the same food, but it's what keeps us all alive. I was reading through the comments on my discussion about fat states, and all of a sudden my stomach started grumbling. See, just reading about food makes some of us hungry. I think I need to take a break and go get something to eat - no - it won't be mac-n-cheese or fried pie!

I love to eat, but I like to cook even more. So I am always wanting to share recipes from which I get new ideas. And yes, sometimes a specially delicious idea makes me hungry!
