Yesterday a group of us got together to cook and eat and
talk. Oh, and drink wine.
I know a many writers who like to cook, so I invited a few
over to do all of the above.
Here is a photo essay of how it went, pictures courtesy of
Gerald Bartell.
The question arose, why do so many writers like to cook? My quick answer—you do it standing up.
Another possibility, eating the resultant output often
involves also drinking wine.
What do you think?
