We Hurt, We Cook
by It's not like we're not watching, we're not grieving, with the rest of the nation. But food blogs are notably quiet on the shootings at Virginia Tech. Still, a few words emerge.

What a great title for your
What a great title for your post. Yep, food definitely provides comfort at these times. It reminds me of Raymond Carver's short story, "A Small, Good Thing".
I'm guessing a few food bloggers might be familiar with that story: it combines a tragic event and the idea of food as a comforting force.
