Beginning today and extending through the weekend, a frigid winter impulse will embrace our region. As is typical during such an event, most everyone I know is planning on hunkering down inside their own home for a couple days.
My
neighbor, Kevin, made a trip to town yesterday for the specific measure of stocking
up enough food and goods to remain home for a few days.
The
idea of running low on food is no longer a concern for me. I live with a woman from the Philippines. Filipinos are totally motivated by food. They celebrate all events by feasting. Images of fancy lunch and dinner dishes dominate
the Facebook postings of Desiree’s family and friends. Desiree is perpetually finding new recipes and
fancy dinner dishes on the web.
She
is (all kidding aside) a world-class cook.
Given
all this, we have gradually stocked up enough food in my house to last for several
months. A good thing, that.
Still,
I enjoy teasing Desiree. I often approach
her when I find her surfing the internet on her smartphone and blurt out: “Food,
food, food!”
