for the ages

The story of my life could easily be told with my culinary history:  the half-eaten worm that immediately proceeded my speaking in complete sentences (gross, but true), the cheese dogs of my youth (nicknamed angels riding horseback), the short-lived teenage infatuation with fast food, the pasta love fest of my twenties, and the ongoing efforts to repair all the damage done now that I know better, ha.  This next Call wants to hear your stories, but again, the food references are merely optional.  No artist statements required this time…

SPAGHETTI
incident

I spent my childhood as the family cook & server.  I was raised by a single father that couldn’t cook.  I think he realized early on that ANY talent I had in the kitchen would surpass his own.  Even before I could cook with aid of a step stool, I was already setting the table and serving dinner.  I remember serving a plate of spaghetti and tomato sauce to my father, already seated, who quickly discovered you shouldn’t trust a 4 year old to secure a drop leaf table.  Ha.  he called it the “spaghetti incident” until the day he died.  This next Call wants to see how your imagination frames your early memories –food optional.  Handle this theme thoughtfully…
