No question looms larger on a daily basis for many of us than
“What’s for lunch?”
and, when that has been resolved,
“What’s for dinner?”

So true. It is around our house anyway.
It’s the ONLY question(s) that matter.
Yes, for sure!
Yup, that’s about right.
Priorities, Priorities….
Of the highest order…
Existentialism at its core.
That it is…
Ahhhh yes…..as you say….the essentials….
I love it!
Thanks! Jim Harrison was so good…..

Some days I get so tired of thinking about food. My binge eating disorder spins food into a tornado of panic, urgency and exhaustion. I’m so grateful for the medication that dulls all that and allows it to slide, for a time, into background noise.

Yes, well put…
Yo. Chris and I have been talking about this lately while visiting a city for the first time together in a long while. So. Many. People. All eating 3 meals a day, all piling up the rubbish. Gosh, humans are wicked consumers.
