Three scenes by Tom Haines

My friend, Tom Haines, recently shared with me three recollections about good food and good conversation from his global travels. I’ve posted them to The Long Table blog.

Oh, how I wish I could join you at the Long Table! It is probably one of my favorite things to do to sit at a table with friends and family and share food and stories. When the seven Shaughnessys were little and we had a long table and sat as a family every evening for dinner we often had to limit the minutes for each child to talk so we could move on with their homework and chores. And when I was a chld on the farm in Huron, Ohio we always set a big table of food fresh from the fields (the table which you and Erin now have) to accomodate drop-ins and the constant stream of cousins whose parents would drop off for weeks at a time knowing they were in good hands. We still enjoy having all of you at our table (now tables with 18 grandchildren!) It is our own way of celebrating Eucharist. Such a blessing!
