F is for “food,” also “fun”

Sometimes in the midst of all the critical commentary about what “organic” really means, the goatee-stroking about the politics of eating locally, the hair-splitting over the proper way to prepare this or that dish, the plywood reports, the Deathwatching, the gossip, the cattiness, the pomposity, snark, sarcasm, industry insider-ism and general attitude some folks have when they write/talk/post about food, it’s easy to forget that first and foremost food should be fun.

This picture’s swiped from BoingBoing. It’s the place that Mark Frauenfelder‘s five-year-old daughter set for herself at dinner when he allowed her to set the table and it reminded me of how much fun food and dinner and eating and snacks and all that stuff was when I was a kid.

.

So don’t be surprised if you show up at Dirt Candy for dinner and get three teacups with your meal.
