Hi Barbara … Thanks so much for writing so passionately about families cooking and eating together. I’d love your ideas for Veggies for Kids, if you’re so inspired. OH: and I’ve included your post in a Veggie Posts of the Week round-up over at A Veggie Venture. You didn’t write about vegetables, per se, but I found the message heartfelt and important. Alanna

Why thank you, Alanna.

It is just something I care deeply about is all.

Email me about the veggies for kids ideas and we'll see what we can work out.

Thanks for the link!

I really enjoyed this post, Barbara. I totally agree with you. This last Friday night as I sat down to dinner with my folks and Mike, I toasted everyone and thanked my folks for always making the time to have meals with me and my brother. Those were such important moments in my day.

Even if our busy lives take us away on the week days, maybe we can eat together on a weekend.

I miss this most when my parents are back in Singapore. But that only makes me cherish it now.

Thank you, Stef–I agree. If nothing else, making time on weekends to eat together can go a long way to bringing families together.

Food is so much more than mere sustainance–it is the glue that binds humans together in social units. It is part of our culutural heritage, part of the very fabric of society.

Hello Barbara,
Been a while since I last wrote but I’ve been following your posts. You’ve touched on the two things that are most important to me – food and family – and I couldn’t agree with you more. Thanks for a wonderful post. Shirley
