Kinfolk

by Aron on July 15, 2011

I’m so excited about the launch of this new online magazine, Kinfolk.
I was invited to contribute to the first volume, and so I got a little sneak-peak. It’s such a beautiful collection. I hope you’ll check it out!
Have a wonderful weekend–hopefully one spent with good friends!

lovely essay! i am in complete agreement, food is a common bond and if all else fails, a great conversation starter. i was lucky to grow up in a family that had dinner together, every night, at the table, no tv. i still cherish mealtime, no matter who i share it with!

Congratulations. It was a lovely piece of writing and I share your thoughts on the concert of conversation and the method of doing that while sharing a meal – despite being guilty of over-preparation too.
