Friendship Warms Our Hearts & Hearths
Many a great dinner party stems from good friends hanging around the kitchen to talk, drink some wine or beer, and maybe offer to stir a pot, assemble a salad, or convey the sides to the dining table. When many hands come together in collaboration, everything just seems to taste better.
This edition of the AS WE EAT Journal takes a loving look at some of the myriad ways that friendship lends to the making of the memory of a meal, whether that is a community sharing of sweet bread dough or the teamwork that goes into a successful potluck.
And because friendship means caring and caring means sharing, we’re asking you to share the AS WE EAT Journal with one friend (or many). And if you would like to support us further with a one-time gift, a monthly or yearly subscription, we would be ever so appreciative.
Speaking of friends… thank you for joining us on this journey. We appreciate your friendship!
Savor the day!
