Nothing brings people together quite the way food does. When food comes along with an event, you know there will be people there. I don’t know exactly what it is, but that’s just the way it is. It’s no different with Winter Texan events. We see potluck suppers, lunches, donut and pancake breakfasts, Taco Tuesday’s and so many other events centered around food. If it’s a dinner and a dance. Or a jam session with lunch served. Or crafts sales with breakfast available. You can count on these events bringing the crowd in. So much so, that even when dining halls were shut down, management found a way to bring the food to their residents. According to Trafalgar.com, “it’s how we make friends, nurture relationships, celebrate milestones, mend conflicts and feel gratitude for life.” And National Geographic says evidence shows it has been a part of our story for 300,000 years. “To break bread together,” a phrase as old as the Bible, captures the power of a meal to forge relationships, bury anger, provoke laughter.” Says National Geographic’s The Joy of Food article. “With good friends … and good food on the board … we may well ask, When shall we live if not now?” – M.F.K. Fisher, The Art of Eating. This gathering brings laughter, and the feel good in the belly feeling that lasts all day, if not longer. It’s a time to linger, to let go of the day, and just enjoy the food and the company. No wonder, you get together so often, and the Winter Texan parks offer you meals throughout the day, and week. I am sure it helps your day go by with a smile on your face.
