Falling For Food, Take 2

“The discovery of a new dish does more for the happiness of the human race than the discovery of a star.”
― Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin

Happy first day of fall!  When I originally thought of the name for this blog I thought Fall would be the perfect season to begin, thus the "fall" in falling.  It's when comfort food becomes more prevalent and desired.  As we bid adieu to summer and pull out our coats and sweaters, our food cravings turn to meals of mac n' cheese, savory soups, and warm delicious breads.  Gone are the salads of summer.  

I started this blog to gain more of an understanding of food.  But as I look back and reflect on my previous posts from last year I began to realize that I've barely touched the surface of what it means to be a foodie.  To love food. To savor. To understand the importance of food.  I haven't really cooked this summer.  I have had a few meals that I wished to share with you but I have mostly fallen short of the unique experiences that would have me rushing to my keyboard to share with you all.  

In this next generation of my blog I hope to go beyond the food on the plate and dive into issues such as sustainable foods, the historic background of dishes, and how food gets to our plate.  I'd also like to highlight the various ways that we can give back to our communities with food.  There are so many people that are hungry, and if there is a little thing that one person can do, I believe we should do it. 

I hope you'll stick with me through my continuing journey as I recommence my personal foodie quest. Happy Fall, y'all :)
