I've known David since kindergarten, but we'd lost touch. Somehow he found this food journal and we reconnected over—what else?—food. He's in Florida, I'm here in New Hampshire, but he's been in the food industry for years and sent me a care package. It arrived today: Monograno Farro Spaghetti, M'hamsa hand-rolled couscous, American Tuna (line caught), Peperoncini piccanti hand-stuffed with capers and anchovy, Blis9 sherry vinegar aged in maple barrels, Merula EVO from Spain.
I feel truly blessed, and that's before trying a single bite. Thank you, David.
The only David that we grew up with who lives in Florida and is in the food industry is David L?

Yes, Nishta -- we all deserve a friend like David! I'm making him a package of foodie finds my my area (plus a few others I can't resist including). I can't hope to match his generosity. Maybe we should all pledge to share like this once a month: spread the love of food!
