MUSINGS ON FOOD, ON MEALS, ON "TABLE"

Welcome, Reader. We invite you to read our postings about radio shows and podcasts--maybe you'll find one that inspires or informs you the way they have our contributors. We have also posted about blogs themselves--what makes one worthy of recommendation? What makes another a blog our authors would avoid? Finally, we hope you will enjoy our personal essays, all wrapping themselves around food and mealtimes . . . and family, and friends, and events that impacted us, whether or not we knew it at the time. -Ed.

I listened to an episode of Radiolab, titled “Help”. This episode is fascinating, talking about strangeness of the struggle between two sides of your desire. This year in Nonfiction and Media we have already talked about procrastination and this episode talks about things even more serious than procrastination and how people combated them. This episode talks about the smoker that can’t quit and the author that can’t write. The main theme is self-enemy and how to stop yourself from ruining what it is you want to do. Though I wish there was a deeper scientific view on this topic. For this episode the name Radiolab was not the best fit, because it implies going to a certain level of science, which this episode did not.
