Something To Chew On

Well not really, but yesterday I had a revelation while working on the Bryony website. One of our biggest goals is to have an interacting website; not one you go to and just read what's on the pages. From the first glance, we want viewers to feel like they are in Munsonville, inside the story. For instance, Harold Masters is the English teacher in Bryony. On his website page, we'll post submitted short-stories, poems, etc.., so why not on Sue's Diner's page, the only restaurant in Munsonville, post submitted recipes. I know you all have favorites you'd like to share.

One of my cherished things about food is the way it brings us together. Think of how much more you enjoy a delicious meal when others are sharing the same delight. Or when you discover a new food or recipe that you are bursting to share and others are hounding you for it. Eating is universal. One does not have to speak another language to share meals. If you live, you eat. The history and cultures behind food is endless and I'm asking you to partake.

The guidelines for submitting recipes is fairly basic:

• No foul language anywhere in the text. Your entry will not be considered or language will be edited.
• Any recipe is available for editing, don't be shy to submit if you aren't the best writer.
• Recipes may involve any part of any meal. Breakfast, Lunch, Supper, Drinks, Deserts, Appetizers, Breads, Fourth Meals, Snacks, ANYTHING!
• Submit recipes to bryonyseries@gmail.com.
• And a reminder, recipes have to be original, OR you have to list the source of the recipe you are sharing. For instance if it came out of a magazine, you have to say which one, which issue, and any credited name on the recipe.

I hope all of you take the time to share something with Bryony.
