Dear Readers,

I need your help and indulgence.

For the next seven months, I’ll be cooking up a book project, Bittermelons and Brownies: Chewing Object-Oriented Ontology, about feeding humans from the perspective of a philosopher-mom.

I need to sit with my laptop and NOT do what is easiest for me. Blog. Instead, as all you writers out there understand I need to stare at my screen, recipes, notes, and maps… every day. So,  I give myself permission to concentrate on a sustained virtual dialogue with my daughters and other growing human beings about how to feed ourselves and others in this crazy world of things.

I’ll still blog when I need a quick shot of grounding satisfaction, like eating salty, oily, hot and steamy, thick-cut fries dipped in creamy mayonnaise or tart ketchup. Hopefully, very irregularly.

Here’s a recipe for thick cut french fries from Serious Eats.

Deeply grateful for your willingness to read my ramblings and share in my life,

Hungryphil
