I’m pretty excited about a story assignment I got today from Edible Boston Magazine (”Celebrating the Abundance of Local Foods, Season by Season”).

exiles at the table
Some of our best “church” has happened around a table.

gobble gobble
Well, we’re about done for the day stuffing our faces. A few reflections on Thanksgiving 2006:
