In a time when most emails end with a quick “thanks,” comedian Judy Gold takes the time to close hers with “Sent while thinking about my next meal.”  But in this episode, Judy does quite the opposite: with unencumbered joy, she takes us back in time to her parents’ kitchen and backyard garden in New Jersey, where it wasn’t just a love of food that was born–it was a love of loving food. The predictability of everyday meals we love to hate. The thrill of the unexpected. The cultivation of a family bond. The honoring of tradition. The sense of comfort that comes over us from just a whiff of that certain meal. Judy’s stories are a reminder of the joy that comes from keeping food at the center of our lives.
