Hello!!! Happy June 1st! Today's episode is very unusual. Although it contains a story, and it is most definitely a story about food, this is a solo episode and is quite personal. I'm going to share a fairy tale with you today that has long been a favorite fairy tale. It also connects me to both of my grandmothers, my great-grandmother, my cousin Terri, my own children, and my niece Hannah. And now, also, I would say that this story really connects my past and present as well because, looking back, isn't it funny - and maybe a bit prophetic - that one of my favorite fairy tales was about food?
As I share this story, I am really hoping that it will jog your memory about a myth, folk tale, fairy tale, or old wives tale from your own childhood, family, or culture! If it does, would you please reach out to me? Just email me at
[email protected] or leave a comment here on this post. I'd love to pull together a collection of these. I haven't defined how I might do that yet because it does depend a bit on your responses. But would you please just reach out and share your story - as much or as little as you'd like?
