It’s important to ask yourself why you aren’t willing to accommodate the people you want to feed. What are you trying to prove to them? Why are you trying to normalize them?" This is at the crux of the question I was trying to pose on twitter. In Rulman's story the Mother does not want to feed these people. There is history there that is not explained. Of course it can be annoying to deal with frivolous food requirements, but if you are one of the people I love I will do so gladly, regardless of how silly it may seem. The relatives in the story are not loved ones and that is a much more important element to the story than food fascism. <blockquote>Yes.

Yes. And I think that people who complain about food requirements are complaining about having to care about those people.

The Food Experiments (www.thefoodexperiments.com) is a series of amateur cook-offs that celebrate the home chef. By creating these events, my co-organizer and I have developed a community of food and fun-loving people in our hometown of Brooklyn. Now we have been given the great opportunity by Brooklyn Brewery to go on the road for a national tour. The Philadelphia Cheese Experiment will be held at the World Cafe Live venue on Sunday June 5th, 2011 from 12-4PM. Anyone can compete, anyone can attend, anyone can win! A portion of the event’s proceeds will go towards The Food Trust, a local charity dedicated to ensuring that everyone has access to affordable, nutritious food. I’d like to encourage you and your readers to enter or attend. The top prize is a trip to Brooklyn to compete against all the cook-off winners from around the country and all chefs will be a provided with a Whole Foods gift certificate to help purchase ingredients for the competition. Chefs, press and food bloggers are invited to a pre-event Happy Hour to take place on Thursday, June 2nd from 5pm to 7pm, location to be announced. On a side note, if you have any eating recommendations for Philadelphia, please send them our way. We will be eating our way through the city on a food crawl (hopefully a sandwich crawl!) and hope to meet many of you along the way. I would like to send our Press Release. If you have any questions, please email me at thefoodexperiments@gmail.com All the best, Nick Suarez and Theo Peck www.thefoodexperiments.com Hello

It is my constant fallback. My favorite soup is my mom's chicken soup, which has its roots in the Joy of Cooking, but has been steadily tinkered with over many, many years. There is nothing better on a crappy, crappy day. Oh, soup. It is my constant fallback.
