The charity was started by Gretchen Witt - a mother whose young boy Liam had cancer. The premise was simple - encourage as many as possible to host cookie bake sales and use the proceeds to fund new treatments for all types of pediatric cancer.\r\n\r\nThe Witt\'s <a href=\"https://www.cookiesforkidscancer.org/AboutUs.asp\">story</a> is equal parts inspiring as it is sobering. I have an immense soft-spot for children and the idea of an ill child breaks my heart. But the resilience and optimism that many children hold when they are unwell, is a lesson for young and old.\r\n\r\nSeptember is Pediatric Cancer Awareness month. Oxo, a supporter of Cookies for Kids cancer are offering to match fundraising up to $100,000.\r\n\r\nYou can do your part in so many ways from hosting a bake sale, buying an OXO <a href=\"http://www.oxogoodcookies.com/cookie_spatula\">\"Good Cookie\"</a> Spatula, or sending a <a href=\"http://www.oxogoodcookies.com/virtual_cookie\">Virtual Cookie</a> on Facebook.

Read more in my previous post <a href=\"http://cravenmaven.com/2011/09/five-days-of-cookies-for-kids-with-cancer/\">here</a>, part I of the chronicles <a href=\"http://cravenmaven.com/2011/09/cookie-chronicles-part-i-the-vegan-chocolate-chip/\">here</a>, part II <a href=\"http://cravenmaven.com/2011/09/cookie-chronicles-part-ii-brown-sugar-biscuits/\">here</a> and part III <a href=\"http://cravenmaven.com/2011/09/cookie-chronicles-part-iii-lemon-basil-cloud-cookies/\">here</a>.\r\n<strong>\r\nThe Cookie Story: </strong>Sometimes when you see a beautiful landscape, a stylin\' piece of clothing or hear a certain beat of music it reminds you of someone. Quite often, I am reminded of someone dear when I see a compelling recipe. My friend Liz and I go back..more years than I care to count. It\'s fair to say she remembers me when I was a London girl in pigtails { a style I wore way too long in hindsight..}. The great thing about Liz is her propensity to be different - not <em>just</em> to be different - but different because that\'s just <em>how</em> she is. It\'s something we share in common and respect about each other despite differing aesthetics.\r\nPistachio and Cardamom are two ingredients you wouldn\'t typically expect to be housed in a cookie. Yet, when I asked Liz what her favourite cookie was, this is what she said. It\'s different, it\'s also remarkably good - something you definitely have to respect. Check out the <a href=\"http://www.bakedbyjoanna.com/2011/05/pistachio-cardamom-cookies.html\">how-to recipe by Baked by Joanna</a> if you are inclined to try it.\r\n\r\n<strong>Fundraising tip:</strong> I love nothing more than to get a recipe from a friend. Whether it be an old family recipe or something new that they cooked up { excuse the pun }. Why not create a recipe exchange cookbook/zine? Get friends to donate their favourite recipe and snapshot - compile a low-fi zine and sell the book to friends, family and others.','Cookie Chronicles Part IV: Pistachio Cardamom Cookies','','publish','open','open','','cookie-chronicles-part-iv-pistachio-cardamom-cookies','','http://cravenmaven.com/2011/09/five-days-of-cookies-for-kids-with-cancer/\nhttp://www.bakedbyjoanna.com/2011/05/pistachio-cardamom-cookies.html','2011-10-04 14:23:34','2011-10-04 18:23:34','',0,'http://cravenmaven.com/?p=5917',0,'post','',3),(5872,1,'2011-09-26 15:26:56','2011-09-26 19:26:56','<img src=\"http://images.instagram.com/media/2011/09/21/c94455ad6e734a888dd193535dc78ac6_7.jpg\" alt=\"vegan choc chip\" width=450>\n\n<a href=\"http://cravenmaven.com/2011/03/cookies-for-kids-cancer-call-to-action/\">Earlier this year</a>, I blogged about a wonderful charity called Cookies for Kids Cancer.

Oxo, a supporter of Cookies for Kids cancer are offering to match fundraising up to $100,000.\r\n\r\nYou can do your part in so many ways from hosting a bake sale, buying an OXO <a href=\"http://www.oxogoodcookies.com/cookie_spatula\">\"Good Cookie\"</a> Spatula, or sending a <a href=\"http://www.oxogoodcookies.com/virtual_cookie\">Virtual Cookie</a> on Facebook.

This particular blizzard in question I came across <a href=\"http://www.trotski-ash.com/2009/07/recipes/brown-sugar-biscuits/\">this recipe</a> for brown sugar biscuits. I like to make mine with a wee bit less flour than they suggest, in order for the cookies to be a little less dense.\r\nThe first batch I made was for a gathering at a friends house. One of the guests had a serious gluten intolerance and yet insisted on scarfing down a decent handful of said biscuits. At penalty of bad health! Yep, they are THAT good!\r\n<strong>\r\nFundraising tip:</strong> Host a traditional bake sale! Okay, that may not be an <em>original</em> tip. But if you live in a big city and don\'t have a front yard - think of hosting your sale on your stoop. Maybe team up with some local kids who could concurrently run a lemonade stand, and allow patrons to sit on your stoop to enjoy the treats.

Read more in my previous post <a href=\"http://cravenmaven.com/2011/09/five-days-of-cookies-for-kids-with-cancer/\">here</a>, part one of the chronicles <a href=\"http://cravenmaven.com/2011/09/cookie-chronicles-part-i-the-vegan-chocolate-chip/\">here</a>, and part II <a href=\"http://cravenmaven.com/2011/09/cookie-chronicles-part-ii-brown-sugar-biscuits/\">here</a>.\r\n<strong>\r\nThe cookie story:</strong> This summer I was at my wit\'s end. It was hot or humid, nothing better but often worse. One Friday the heat reached a scorching 103 degrees and I decided there was no way I would be able to stay indoors. We packed our swimmers and headed to Rockaway Beach. Being at the beach on such a hot day satisfied everything we needed - a cool{ish} breeze, plenty of people spotting and a fair share of good eats. Somehow we found ourselves at <a href=\"http://dicosmos.com/\">DiCosmo\'s</a> Italian Ice stand and somehow we ended up buying Lemon Basil Ice\'s. \r\nAt first we were skeptical, but the gentle camphorous nature of the herb mixed with the citrus of the lemon proved to be an exciting palette. It single handedly made the day at the beach a success. Soon after I sought out other <a href=\"http://www.bonappetit.com/recipes/quick-recipes/2011/07/lemon-lime-basil-shortbread-cookies\">lemon-basil </a>combinations and lo and behold my new <a href=\"http://www.bonappetit.com/recipes/quick-recipes/2011/07/lemon-lime-basil-shortbread-cookies\">Bon Appetit subscription</a> did not disappoint. Coupled with a fun, cloud cookie cutter from <a href=\"http://shop.herriottgrace.com/product/cloud-cookie-cutter\">Herriot Grace</a>, I stayed up to an unhealthy hour making batch upon batch of lemon-basil cloud cookies. Yum!\r\n\r\n<strong>Fundraising tip:</strong> Everyone loves mail. How about cookie mail?!

Having lived and worked in under 700 sq ft for oh, about ten years, I appreciate the ingenuity that goes into making a small space comfortable, stylish and..spacious. Bold choices in design, colour or texture are always a gem, and this week\'s kitchen has all of those in buckets.\r\n\r\nFrom the subway tiled backsplash, to the box frame shelving vignettes, to the naked bulbs, to the scalloped edged breakfast bar, to the...is that lilac wood paneling?? Your eye bounces around this space taking it all in without you once realising just how small this kitchen ACTUALLY is.\r\n\r\nThere are many other things this space does RIGHT to emphasise style over square footage: wall mounted taps, doorless cabinets, fabric \'doors\' on lower shelves and a simple chrome, lilac, pink and white palette. I envy how pulled together this space is. It\'s elegant, it\'s practial but above all it\'s stylin\'.','Kitchen Envy: In the Pink...{ and lilac! }','','publish','open','open','','kitchen-envy-in-the-pink-and-lilac','','','2011-10-12 18:30:52','2011-10-12 22:30:52','',0,'http://cravenmaven.com/?p=5960',0,'post','',1),(5929,1,'2011-10-05 13:30:32','2011-10-05 17:30:32','<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http://www.remain-silent.com/cm/kewlstuff/gourmetfootwear.jpg\" alt=\"gourmet footwear\" width=\"475\" height=\"550\" /></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\">image by <a href=\"http://gourmetfootwear.com\">gourmet footwear</a></span></p>\r\n\r\nWhen I saw the name of this brand of trainers { sneakers to my American readers..}, my heart stopped for just a second.

It\'s been inspiring and reinvigorating - which is just what was needed after a rather nasty bout of sickness that had me rather peaky for a week or so to say the least.\r\n\r\nDon\'t fear, I will still be posting good food/design inspirations on cravenmaven.com so check frequently or <a href=\"http://cravenmaven.com/?page_id=33\">subscribe</a> to keep in the loop!

But the notion of each and how they relate to each other has been a meditative thought of mine of late. I love all three, of which I am sure you, dear readers are not surprised to hear. When <a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eat,_Pray,_Love\">Elizabeth Gilbert</a> titled her book, it was  both a descriptive facet as well as a series of words to contemplate together. But a recent conversation has me really thinking of the <em>connection</em> between the three. \r\n\r\nEating for some is merely a function. My friend\'s dad eats to survive. Purely and simply. He has no enjoyment in the variety of options, the colours, the spices, the textures...the biggest shame of it all is his wife is an amazing cook. Maybe he has a taste-bud disability that is undiagnosed or some such. But for me eating is an opportunity to make people happy, to create memories and a shared encounter; especially when I am the cook. A room full of people eating the same animal or the produce from the same farmland that has been lovingly washed, seasoned, peeled, sauteed or braised. Watched. Stirred. Watched. Simmered..It\'s like the food was part of a private choreographed piece before it reached the table. All done through love. I tingle just at the thought of it all.\r\n\r\nI always joke and tell my friends that the best ingredient in a dish is love - but I believe it to be true. When I am stressed or rushed my food tastes the same. Not quite seasoned right, crunchy where it should be soft, soft where it should be crisp. When relaxed and happy, my dishes are rich, lux and jolly to the tongue. They taste better than they look and look quite scrumptious. \r\n\r\nWhen food is cooked with love, the emotion becomes infectious. Who hasn\'t fallen in love over a good meal- as though the spirit of caring leached through and stimulated the heart? In all truth, it\'s likely the serotonin that makes one feel so good but the romantic in me will deny that little fact! The memory lingers...so-and-so\'s fantastic cake, trout, paella, whatever. You never quite forget that food memory or the warmth of talk shared over it all.\r\n\r\nAnd then there is the matter of prayer. I remember a friend telling me of a guy she knew who enthusiastically prayed over his ice cream, because, \'it was just THAT good!\' he said. We had giggled about it but upon serious thought had to admit it showed his immense appreciation for something that pleased his soul and stirred him to entreat and thank the higher power that made the food and ability to enjoy it possible. The ability for food to move one to meditative thoughts, spiritual reflection and heartfelt appreciation is a testament to it\'s influence.\r\n\r\nSo to <strong>eat</strong>, to be moved to <strong>pray</strong> and to be stirred with <strong>love </strong>are all part of the same parcel. Knowing this makes me excited for each and every meal - whether eating it or cooking it - as it will be a wave of feeling and the making of a new memory.','Eat. Pray.

Ones that irk, ones that are sweet and why on earth we even use them in the first place! The discussion was lively and humourous to say the least.\n\nAnyone who knows me, knows there is a healthy dose of silliness that goes into my day-to-day. A product of growing up in a family where a sharp sense of humour and penchant for absurdity are inherent traits. But a select few who know me exceptionally well, know that I have a passionate affinity for pet names and terms of endearment. Both as the recipient and the giver. \n\nOverall, I find that pet names run the gamut of personal, inside jokes { booger } to descriptive traits { brown sugar }, and then there are those that are universal: cupcake, sweetie pie, sugar, honey, dumpling and so on.\n\nAt first, I theorized that partiality was perhaps mired in upbringing. Did a persons family always use pet names? Does using them towards each other as adults remind us of a sense of home and nurturing? For myself, growing up in London as a child amongst adults -being the youngest in the brood, \'older people\' always addressed me with a term or another that wasn\'t my name - it was part of the fabric of the culture: \'Hello poppet, petal, beansy, dear heart\' I was called them all and instantly felt awash with the warmth of affection that fueled such words. \nBut lately, upon deeper reflection, I\'ve realised that near all of the terms that I love and the majority of us love are food related...\'<em>Sweetie pie, poppet, honey..\'</em>. Maybe, just maybe we love terms of endearment not just because they are stated with love, but because they also satiate our tummy. \n\nAfter all, we are all a little bit \'craven\'...','Of terms of endearment and the hungry soul','','publish','open','open','','of-terms-of-endearment-and-the-hungry-soul','','','2011-11-15 09:39:01','2011-11-15 14:39:01','',0,'http://cravenmaven.com/2011/11/of-terms-of-endearment-and-the-hungry-soul/',0,'post','',2),(6043,1,'2011-11-30 01:35:05','2011-11-30 06:35:05','..No, not the book or the film.

When relaxed and happy, my dishes are rich, lux and jolly to the tongue. They taste better than they look and look quite scrumptious. \n\nWhen food is cooked with love, the emotion becomes infectious. Who hasn\'t fallen in love over a good meal- as though the spirit of caring leached through and stimulated the heart? In all truth, it\'s likely the serotonin that makes one feel so good but the romantic in me will deny that little fact! The memory lingers...so-and-so\'s fantastic cake, trout, paella, whatever. You never quite forget that food memory or the warmth of talk shared over it all.\n\nAnd then there is the matter of prayer. I remember a friend telling me of a guy she knew who enthusiastically prayed over his ice cream, because, \'it was just THAT good!\' he said. We had giggled about it but upon serious thought had to admit it showed his immense appreciation for something that pleased his soul and stirred him to entreat and thank the higher power that made the food and ability to enjoy it possible. The ability for food to move one to meditative thoughts, spiritual reflection and heartfelt appreciation is a testament to it\'s power.\n\nSo to eat, to be moved to pray and to be stirred with love are all part of the same parcel. Knowing this makes me excited for each and every meal - whether eating it or cooking it - as it will be a wave of feeling and the making of a new memory.','Eat. Pray.

Not the daydream variety but rather, quite literally. It may sound like nothing to, well, almost anyone - but for me it\'s the return of an old dear friend that I thought had been lost to the ravages of sea. Where sea is my oft crazy life and distracted mind.\r\n\r\nWhen I was a kid I used to dream boisterously, frequently and most creatively. I chalked it up to all the adventure filled, fantastical books I pored over on a daily basis, coupled with an ever creative school curriculum. It produced an over active imagination, { the one thing I didn\'t lose growing up..much to the chagrin of some!}.  Mostly aware of when I was in a dreamlike state I would control the elements of my dream. I could pause them at will, continue where I left off the next day or days after and I could always, always fly.\r\n\r\nThen one day the dreams just stopped. \r\n\r\nNow they are back and I am waking exhausted yet abuzz. The first thing I do every day is text a friend and tell her what I dreamt - like a person learning a new language who is excited to share the verb they perfectly conjugated. \r\n\r\nBut me being me, one of my recent dreams involved a kitchen. The broader narrative is that I was living in Paris, in an artist studio and creating...just creating whatever came to my mind and heart. I was a visual artist, perhaps a painter. Which is laughable because I have never been good at drawing or painting. However, there was a distinct moment in the dream where I saw the kitchen and paused. It was modest, makeshift, loft like, with lots of raw materials - woods, steel and brick. It was rustic and yet beautiful.\r\n\r\nI have searched high and low for a picture of a kitchen that even barely touches on what I saw in my dream and have been unable to find one. I did find one that contained elements of what I imagined, albeit a lot more polished and stylin\'.\r\n\r\n<img src=\"http://www.remain-silent.com/cm/kitchenenvy/parisdreamloft1.jpg\" alt=\"paris loft\" />\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\">image via <a href=\"http://www.apartmentmodern.com/2657/100-square-meter-loft-in-sao-paulo.html/kitchen-100-square-meter-loft-in-sao-paulo\">apartment modern</a></span></p>\r\nIn my dream the kitchen was underneath the loft mezzanine, much like this one. The metal work was dark and the floors concrete. This apartment has a lovely, rich dark wood floor but it gives off the same feel as the space I imagined. \r\n\r\n<img src=\"http://www.remain-silent.com/cm/kitchenenvy/parisdreamloft3.jpg\" alt=\"paris kitchen dream\" />\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\">image via <a href=\"http://www.apartmentmodern.com/2657/100-square-meter-loft-in-sao-paulo.html/kitchen-100-square-meter-loft-in-sao-paulo\">apartment modern</a></span></p>\r\nBrick walls, wood counters and metalwork were textures that all stood out distinctly in my dream. This space is decidedly more polished than the one I envisioned. My space was a live/work space so the sink washed both dishes and dirty paintbrushes. The kitchen had to be less than precious.\r\n\r\n<img src=\"http://www.remain-silent.com/cm/kitchenenvy/parisdreamloft4.jpg\" alt=\"paris dream kitchen\" />\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\">image via <a href=\"http://www.apartmentmodern.com/2657/100-square-meter-loft-in-sao-paulo.html/kitchen-100-square-meter-loft-in-sao-paulo\">apartment modern</a></span></p>\r\nThis bold, mod-ish side board meets liquor cabinet was not in my dream.

There is nothing like the start of the year to remind you of the cyclical nature of our existence and that we always, fortunately, get the treat of starting again. \n\nI must say that I can\'t quite ever remember the world as a whole receiving a new year with as much fanfare as this here, brand, spanking new 2-0-1-2. One friend summed up the reason behind it well: \' 2011 was quite possibly one of the most awful years everyone has experienced to date\'. Saying good riddance to those frightful memories, hurt feelings and worry was quite possibly the catharsis that many felt they needed. I am a self confessed perennial optimist and as such am refusing to write a blog post that looks back at all the things that resulted in sleeplessness, heartburn, weeping or wonder. Rather I am choosing to simply start again from the beginning.\n\nThere have already been and will continue to be some changes on cravenmaven.com in 2012. As you may have noticed in recent weeks - a lot less posting has been going on. This has been due to many reasons, amongst which include projects with <a href=\" http://www.kinfolkmag.com/\">Kinfolk magazine</a> { do you have volume II yet?? }, taking things slow in all aspects of my life and also in an effort to produce higher quality content.\n\nMy love affair with food and words really came into it\'s own in 2011 { thank you all those who believe in me and love my words }, so I am going to endeavour to write in the way I <em>feel</em> as that is the most honest thing to do. It may mean less posts but I hope you will enjoy it nonetheless. Never fear though! I will still post the fun, silly things that I come across. \n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img src=\"http://www.remain-silent.com/cm/kewlstuff/iggrab.jpg\" alt=\"instagram images\" />\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\">a sampling of the goodness i\'ve recently posted on instagram</span></p>\n\nAlso, if you just need more and more of me and have an IPhone, I HIGHLY recomend you follow me on <a href=\"http://instagr.am/\">Instagram</a>. I am a somewhat prolific IG\'er and post many pictures of what I am cooking or eating among other things. \n\nI have some really exciting and challenging food related goals for 2012 that I cannot wait to get started on.

This happens every two years or so. Some call it the <em>spirit of adventure</em>, I, however, refer to it as being stir-crazy, having cabin-fever and the dire need for a change of pace. Call it what you will, for me it usually manifests itself with me strapping on a backpack and hiking or climbing something somewhere in the middle of nowhere. Sadly, resources are not going to allow me to fulfill such desires anytime soon; so I must live vicariously through the lives and actions of others. Or maybe perhaps, change my view of what the fulfillment of adventure is. \r\n\r\nI missed a flight the other day. \r\n\r\nIt sounds simple enough and to some may be a regular occurrence in their life but for me it was huge. See, I\'ve been traveling since I was born, and in those thirty some odd years I have never ever missed a plane, bus, train, coach, rickshaw, car or wake up call. Then last week in the most innocuous way possible I missed my flight home. After the dust settled a new friend stated \'NOW you are beginning to have adventure in your life\'.

There is nothing like the start of the year to remind you of the cyclical nature of our existence and that we always, fortunately, get the treat of starting again. \r\n\r\nI must say that I can\'t quite ever remember the world as a whole receiving a new year with as much fanfare as this here, brand, spanking new 2-0-1-2. One friend summed up the reason behind it well: \' 2011 was quite possibly one of the most awful years everyone has experienced to date\'. Saying good riddance to those frightful memories, hurt feelings and worry was quite possibly the catharsis that many felt they needed. I am a self confessed perennial optimist and as such am refusing to write a blog post that looks back at all the things that resulted in sleeplessness, heartburn, weeping or wonder. Rather I am choosing to simply start again from the beginning.\r\n\r\nThere have already been and will continue to be some changes on cravenmaven.com in 2012. As you may have noticed in recent weeks - a lot less posting has been going on. This has been due to many reasons, amongst which include projects with <a href=\" http://www.kinfolkmag.com/\">Kinfolk magazine</a> { do you have volume II yet?? }, taking things slow in all aspects of my life and also in an effort to produce higher quality content.\r\n\r\nMy love affair with food and words really came into it\'s own in 2012 { thank you all those who believe in me and love my words }, so I am going to endeavour to write in the way I <em>feel</em> as that is the most honest thing to do. It may mean less posts but I hope you will enjoy it nonetheless. Never fear though! I will still post the fun, silly things that I come across. \r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img src=\"http://www.remain-silent.com/cm/kewlstuff/iggrab.jpg\" alt=\"instagram images\" />\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\">a sampling of the goodness i\'ve recently posted on instagram</span></p>\r\n\r\nAlso, if you just need more and more of me and have an IPhone, I HIGHLY recomend you follow me on <a href=\"http://instagr.am/\">Instagram</a>.

The youngest, and therefore most tyrannised in a family of 6 children, one had to eat speedily in order to avoid the inevitable fork of authority from an elder sibling who realised that you had a tasty morsel or two on your plate that they could take advantage of.\r\nEven father\'s prayers were not exempt from the errant fork that somehow found it\'s way to my precious meal--stealing away the best bits of grub. The irony of \'stealing\' while thanking God for the goods He\'d provided evidently lost on my kin, or perhaps understood more literally than I ever could.\r\n\r\nI fought, of course, with words and sometimes deeds. I was a scrappy wretch after all, and goodness knows I love dinner. But after a while, one came to accept that procrastination begot deprivation and either ate hastily or accepted that one would be obliged to \'share\' their plate with the quicker and hungrier.\r\n\r\nWhen I grew up, to share a meal took on a new meaning. Working for pittance-per-hour garnered a modest wage, and meant that college lunchtimes at the pub would only be affordable if you split the cost and consumption of your fish n\' chips with your English Lit classmate who hopefully wasn\'t as peckish as you. But it was these countless hours at the pub that also introduced me to a new avenue of sharing--that of the heart, the mind and soul.\r\n\r\nI learned a lot about my fellow classmates at the pub. It wasn\'t the pints talking..but rather the psychological comfort that a satisfied stomach and reassuring four walls of a pub offered. I find that often when one refers to food and it\'s \'effects\' on the body, many presume on the powers of Tryptophan and the pleasing response of Serotonin. But there is more to it than just a chemical response. Eating has been a communal activity from primeval times--an inevitable gathering to share in a similar act. Engaging in such an activity with others opens one up to the idea of sharing more than bread. They are after all eyewitnesses to ones consciously ingesting foreign objects of nutritional value { one hopes }, into ones body. An incredibly personal act in a public space if you over think it. It\'s only right..that one would then share things that pertain to the more external personal aspects of ones life.\r\n\r\nI will never forget the pub lunch when I learned that Xaviera wasn\'t a mouthy, classroom rabble rouser because she was obnoxious; but rather because she was never granted the chance to set roots and establish close friendships because of her father\'s frequently relocating career. She was scared, fragile and shy. Her apparent overbearing demeanour her way of protecting herself. An act of self preservation. Her truth she revealed to us as we chomped our way through some sort of pie and pint. I never saw her in the same light again. Her menace diminished. She was...real.\r\n\r\nThen I grew some more. Pub lunches were replaced with \'dinners\' at friends houses or restaurants with cloth for napkins. Pints gave way to wine glasses or sturdy tumblers swishing with old fashioned\'s. The sophistication and nutritional value of the meals also improved as did the quality and freeness of conversation. I\'ve always been a shy one { much to the shock of those who don\'t know me as one of six }, and love to listen, observe, yet only occasionally speak. But over time the willingness to share was indulged. The passing of years had increased the frequency of wounds in ones life and the salve that was granted through honest talk assuaged the sore.\r\n\r\nI have fond memories, and lasting friendships from night\'s such as this - learning what hurt, healed and may never be gotten over. Sharing the same. Occasionally, out of defiance there would be a refusal to share. A firmly closed lipped act of rebellion. But the allure of a judgement free zone would eventually coax out a sentence or two that would run freely around the room like a caged beast accidentally freed.\r\n\r\nI can only wonder how this apportioning of secrets, feelings, words will evolve as I continue to grow and my life changes. Life\'s penchant for cyclical behaviour implies that what started as a life literally sharing at the familial dinner table will end the same. But if there is one thing I\'ve learned is never to presume to assume, { my life has a rather dark-humoured way of not doing what one would expect }. Scratch that, if there is one thing I\'ve learned, it\'s to protect one\'s plate at <strong>all</strong> times. Even during father\'s prayer.','Dinner and the politics of sharing..','','publish','open','open','','dinner-and-the-politics-of-sharing','','','2012-03-28 01:38:43','2012-03-28 05:38:43','',0,'http://cravenmaven.com/?p=6122',0,'post','',3),
