I recently read a blog post on npr.org that left its readers with the question of: “Tell us: What would your “food” obit say?” In other words, because food can be a statement of our identity, what food-related memories might I want to leave behind for my loved ones? This, I find, is a very interesting question and something I will noodle on for some time. There are some immediate thoughts that come to mind, however: bruschetta in the late summer with tomatoes and basil from my garden, freshly made butternut squash ravioli in the fall, roasted tubers in the winter, and mountains of fresh peaches from the farmer’s market in the spring-summer. And paella, and kimchi, and chocolate on everything. The list could go on for a while.
Here’s the article from npr.org:
