Food is our undeniable shared passion. It is part of our memories, feelings and plans. It is intertwined with the mistakes and successes, the joy and the pain, the seasons and celebrations. It is the richness of life! In this book, you'll find over 100 pages of poems, memoirs and recipes. This anthology was created month-by-month during the year 2013. We posted our writings on our blog (tastyyear.wordpress.com) from authors in Colorado, Arizona, South Korea, Costa Rica and Canada. The tidbits reflect the insights of each of the writers. We are an eclectic mix of family and friends, poets, novelists and playwrights, sculptors and adventurers, men and women, gay and straight, young and old, that are all part of the Open Book Writing Group. Hungry? Try some of these for starters! BIRTHDAY BASH by Gerry Magnie an 80th birthday, isn't that great! certainly a time to celebrate a suggestion from the rec center bunch let's take gerry for a birthday lunch cherry creek to be the destination where to go? an investigation... andre's, a little uppity too much sugar and spice elway's, sumptuous burgers also a sumptuous price cherry cricket, with its food so proud a little too noisy for this old crowd hops, a good choice, doesn't open till two a bit late for this sleepy crew in the mall, pizza places hard to find parking spaces latkes and crepes served at zaidy's unique food for a group of ladies how about savory pasta at macaroni grill? their salads and hot bread give you a thrill gerry, what is your pleasure? is there a food you really do treasure? well, there is a venue with open seating always plenty of room for eating on the corner of milwaukee and third close to nature, maybe even a bird all agreed to the location making us feel like on vacation your order will be very quick onions, sauerkraut, take your pick being with good friends eating hot dogs in the sun for this great grandma nothing could be more fun -- RICE PUDDING by Michael P Thomas Lolling in the hammock. There's barely a breeze, but we sway in its cradle. Rice pudding with raisins-we're half drunk and hungry and it's within reach. He feeds me; I eat. We thrill to be body to body, glad someone's finally putting something inside someone. That's the thing about this place: everything's got to be a secret. That'll mess everything up eventually, but we don't know that yet. It's still exciting. Every touch, every look still crackles with Us Against the World. Requited, our desire will quickly sour, but this night it's so sweet we swoon over each spoonful. -- MUFFIN MEDITATION by Sean Mahoney for perfect muffins and meditation: if i mix them too much they'll turn out tough. if i add too much stuff, they'll turn to mush. melted butter, instead of oil. paper cups, instead of foil. just stir them once and leave them alone. for 20 minutes. (repeat process for meditation, omitting butter or oil. can be done while muffins bake) -- SUGAR IS NOT LOVE by Joan Gregerson sugar is not love it's just a crutch i lean on when i am not strong -- HEART-SHAPED CAKE PANS by Carol Mahoney only once each year the special pans would appear and produce a valentine delicacy for the barbaric brood and they all felt special! but maybe without the ability - or interest to see how it got there for it was surely planned: pale pink frosting or shimmery white mountain peaks? conversation hearts outlining the edge or red hots polka-dotting all over the place? decades later one of the little brood (now holding her own medicare card) would wonder about that brusque baker what kind of women buy heart-shaped pans?
