I grew up in a Foodie Home.
Epicurious Father ate anything that moved, and then some. He gleefully regaled us with tales of the weird things he’d eaten: creepy scorpions, flying foxes, still wriggling fish; in part to gross us out, but I think also to inspire us to be adventurous towards food.
Nurturing Mother was a published Food Critic as well as homechef extraordinaire. I remember watching Sesame Street as a young child, and in particular, the episode where Ernie and Cookie Monster were counting (and slyly snarfing) cupcakes. I asked Nurturing Mother what cupcakes were. By the end of the programme, I had a plate of piping hot cupcakes, just out of the oven, waiting for me.
Lesson 4 of Developing Your Eye is Adding Captions, to give one’s reader an idea of what the photograph is about.

Loving Husband is also a foodie. My daughters both are foodies. I am privileged to have my education continue through them as Food continues to be an Adventure.
No matter how many wonderful meals we have out and about, however, Bliss is still going home to eat at Nurturing Mother’s table.
That looks delicious!
I was brought up in the exact opposite of a foodie home and have had to find my own way to food appreciation.

I like the names you give your parents. Epicurious and Nurturing seem to match them so well. The caption did help me understand the emotion behind the photograph.

That looks yummy! I was the total opposite when I was young – not at all adventurous when it came to food! But I’ve changed a lot since then, though I’m not sure if I could give scorpions a try. 😂

I must add that I wasn’t particularly adventurous by choice! There were lots of things I would rather not have tried!
