Writing — Food & Photography

Eat. Eating. Eaten — Oh Yes, This is the Best E Word — No F-shaming Either

The A to Z challenge on In Living Color: Finding interesting new ways to enjoy photography

Mushroom & Rosemary Linguine

Does anyone recollect years ago when Oprah still had her regular show on TV? While battling infamous weight issues, she did an episode where her and her guests kept talking about “when food is love.”

Funny what will stick out in a person’s mind years later, isn’t it?

Eating through depression, eating to feel love… yes, that was me. I still remember nodding at the television set during the show. I’m so glad that the fat-shaming of a previous generation is almost gone now… almost… every once in a while, you can still hear it going on, can’t you?

Nuck it! Nuck the fat-shamers! I love food and I love to eat.

I don’t eat because I’m depressed or feeling loveless anymore… I eat because I want to eat!

I do try to practice some kind of moderation of course, but for health reasons only. And also, I try to eat many fresh fruits and veggies. These are my favorites: pineapple, bodi, rambutan and coconuts.

I’ve been enjoying writing about food lately here on Medium:

Photos from various foodie posts — Photos by JoAnn Ryan

Speaking of eating… and E words… I recently posted this foodie photo story in Jillian Amatt’s food-a-licious pub Sharing Food:

Love eating too? Visit this pub now!

Bonus Es: Elk & Empire State Building

Here are bonus photos of an Elk in Yellowstone Park… have to say this ranks as one of my favorite images I’ve ever taken… and of the Empire State Building in NYC. I’ve posted these photos before elsewhere in other stories.

Fellow lovely writers have beaten me to the Es and I’m so ecstatic about that.

Always love Rhonda’s endearing photo stories:

Also, check out her delightful D post.

Allisonn Church wrote about the beautiful E word ethereal:

Always a bit of envy going on when I read Anne Bonfert’s posts, fab Globetrotter that she is:

Also, check out her own dreamy D post.

Also, this D post by Jerry was a bit of a downer… but in the best possible way… see why.

Barb Dalton posted this absolutely amazing A post… seriously… it was so good it made me cry tears of joy:

Janin Lyndovsky gave us this awesomely adventurous photo story about Australia:
