Premium Member Elegy for a Kitchen Table
The kitchen table was the centerpoint of childhood, a place of gathering, an easel for artworks, battleground for homework and Eden for the creation of lifeforms moulded from plasticine. It was the Formica altar on which daily meals were celebrated, a patch of the real, ground zero for tears and laughter and a bench for my mother to cut fabric into shapes from...

Radio Days
Our old fashioned kitchen ways, way before the modern malaise, those family favourite, radio days, Swinging Blue Jeans, Johnny Ray, Martha Reeves and Marvin Gaye, those sentimental songs they played. Our old fashioned kitchen ways, without plastic meals from trays, those salad days of mayonnaise, with fablon coated, hollandaise, and chicken roasted, lyonnaise, experimental honey glaze.

Premium Member At the Kitchen Table
