(photo by Jennifer Causey)I think the frank exchange of delicious things is a wonderful way of connecting the cyber world to the earthy, burpy real world of the craft artist. Way back in the mists of time I was doing a Masters Degree and the subject of my thesis was the pretty obscure study of "...contemporary women novelists and how food and cooking are used as a means of communication in their novels." (Ann Tyler and Helen Garner were two of the novelists I studied.) I've left the brow furrowing world of academia far behind me but I still think that communication through food is very subtle, immediate and important. From breastfeeding to wedding feasts to helping some-one you care about calm down with a cup of tea , this is a language we all understand. That is one of the main reasons I love making domestic pots.
Today I did not have a very exciting lunch. But this is what I wish I had for lunch...
(photo once again by Jennifer Causey)Pretty all my favourite lunches involve some combination of bread and cheese.
Actually I think every one should care what you had for lunch- What did you have?

Thank you for the lovely compliment Shannon. Tummy Rumbles is an absolute labour of love (and a somewhat indulgent pursuit ;-)), and it is a real bonus when someone reads and enjoys it too!
Was the book you mentioned a good read? Or not worth the time/money?
yes i agree.
lunch is definitly blogable. and reading tummy rumbles certainly makes me sad that i don't live somewhere with as great food and diversity as melbourne.
I had leftover home-made garlic/wine/tomato/olive/chilli oil spaghetti for lunch with a slow roasted roma tomato and some smoked mozarella and some rocket. yumbalicious!!
Oh, Shannon, I didn't have anything for lunch today. I was installing my new drawing tablet and by the time I looked up again it was 3pm and so I played around until coffee and kingstons at 4:30pm...
those picture of food look good :)

For brunch I had tabbouli & semi dried tomatoes with Turkish break.
cheers to good food.
...I think some people can write about food like Byron can write about love. Today I had a beetroot salad - very pink.
Wow I wish I had some of those things for lunch. Instead I had my usual - leftover couscous with a slightly varying combination of tomatoes, garlic, lima beans and chilli. Better than soggy sandwiches!
