Soup is a story of the turning season. Autumn harvests of pumpkins, squashes, & roots all find their way into the pot. Every ladle carries tradition, a tasty reminder that food is folklore too. What's your favorite Fall soup?

Pantry Psalm: The Ballad of the Bountiful Bushel of Bingo-Won Crabs A neighbor brings steamed Chesapeake blue crabs, rekindling memories of past family gatherings. The narrator, recalling the joy shared with their father, embraces generosity by accepting more crabs, resulting in a delightful feast. This moment transforms the mundane into a celebration, highlighting the joy found in simple, shared experiences with food and community.

What do you do when your neighbor’s mom wins a bushel of crabs at bingo? You feast like royalty, honor the memory of your dad, and write a psalm. 🦀✨ A holy ode to Chesapeake blues and unexpected blessings. #PantryPsalm #DreamspaceStudio #FoodLore

Bread and the Coffin

Description: In Celtic superstition, a hole in a loaf of bread, dubbed a “coffin,” foretells a family member may die soon. ⚰️
Marking dough with a cross before baking wards off Witches who might curse the harvest by stopping the yeast from rising

Thanks Merril. Most of the time is good enough, right? Wait until we launch our #foodlore #cooking project. I just love working with him. #poemsabout #spectacle @alanparry83.bsky.social

Yes, Paul, he lives in #Chicago, I'm in #SanFranciscoBayArea, so we communicate mostly by text & social media. Perhaps, as we develop our #foodlore related cooking show, we'll get to spend person-to-person time together. Stay tuned! #poemsabout #spectacle @alanparry83.bsky.social

Streaming Recommendations: What do you get when you mix Asian cuisine with Asian Cinema? If your answer was, “something great,” then you’re right! Checkout the 8 part miniseries, “Food Lore,” which is now streaming on HBO MAX! 📺🥙
