Pair of Pears Wine
Randy ran the local food coop. He specialized in organic food. He especially loved providing high-quality produce for his community. Every year when the harvest was ready Randy would drive hundreds of miles to the orchards on the Western Slope of Colorado to bring back wonderful boxes of organic peaches, pears, apricots, plums, and apples. Most of the members of the co-op preordered the fruit, but Randy always worried there wouldn’t be enough for everyone so he brought extra boxes home with him.

Industrial food and the healthcare industry
We all know that nutrition is essential for our day to day life. It is not a want but a need. Even though in some people end up buying a quantity of food they didn't really needed which ultimately gets wasted. But this could be a topic for another story.

12 Annoying Things That Ruin Coffee Shops
As someone who makes it a point to venture outside into the world for a caffeine fix on a near-daily basis, I happen to spend A LOT of time in cafes. I have my favorite go-to spots but also like to mix it up every once in a while and try someplace new. Who knows, it might end up winning its way into the coveted “favorites” list. In fact I am at a new specialty coffee shop as I write this and it inspired this article.

Seasonal Eateries
It's hard to believe that so many delightful eateries close during the period of time considered to be off-season. Small establishments in tourist areas and a lot of ice creams shops are among these places.

Why Everyone Should be a Foodie
Everyone should be a foodie. Food is a way to connect to people, a way to relate to people you otherwise wouldn’t interact with. Food, and an enjoyment of it, is one of the few universal things. Food allows you to understand the essence of a culture, a community, or a family. Food has drawn people together throughout the centuries and continues to do so in our ever-shrinking world. Being a foodie allows you to connect to a vast array of people who share the same passion as you and are always willing to try new things.

Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread. Top Story - September 2021.
The first time I ever used a computer was when I was five years old. I was in first grade and our assignment was straightforward: tell the class what you want to be when you grow up.

The Pear Tree Cafe
There’s a cute little café, right along the ocean in a small town on the coast of Australia. It is a hidden town that not many know of yet it is famous in its own regards. Torquay, the place for lost souls, where searching and love can always be found. I know because, I have been there and it was the most magical place I had ever known. Mind you, I have swam in Asian oceans where plankton light up the darkest waters like the sparkles of the night sky filled with twinkling starts, and depths of ship wrecked ruins where only the most mysterious fish can be found while scuba diving the most adventurous hours. But in Torquay, there is a sweet ocean beach where the water is clean, and everything can be seen. There are waves that crash at night bringing peaceful sounds that can you put you to sleep. A blanketed beach of the most typical sand, the only place in the world where you could have it all to yourself for an entire morning or afternoon. The trees line up in a row , of pine and big leafed, as if traveling through the mountains on a winter and summer’s day. It is the only place in the world I have ever been where walking around town in the night is considered meditative and safe.

Change
When your heart races a mile a minute with the thoughts in your head and it seems like it matches but there is this fear as big as the love that goes with it. My passion and this huge huuuge excitement.

Legal Violations of the Food Industry:
Western society, and social endeavours generally, revolve largely around food, meals, and consumption. We host luxurious family dinners for notable holidays, have business meetings over lunch, meet friends for weekend brunch, serve refreshments as incentive for participation, and go so far as to organize our entire days around where we will eat, who we will eat with, and what we will be eating. The food industry prioritizes speed and convenience, reinforcing its active participation in almost every aspect of our lives. Vending machines, convenience stores, fast food establishments on every street corner, and the ability to order dinner with just a few clicks or swipes at the palm of our hand ensure our next meal is never too far from our thoughts.

Black Nothing
What had once been created could have been a mistake. It did not know. It did not care. Below it was nothing. Above was also nothing. Surrounding it was nothing. It did not know if it truly existed or something else.

Summer
I was 4 and a half years old when my brother was born. I was not at all happy about it. He was a chubby little thing with a perfectly rounded head and rosy cheeks that I would kissbite whenever mom wasn’t looking. He would cry of course and mom would say that she was going to put him outside in the trash can for the fairies to take him away. I actually liked the idea of that. I would ask her if they would feed him? I wasn’t evil after all.
