A Taste for Tragedy

Houstonia Magazine: Food memories of a woman who was bedridden with fibromyalgia as a child

AD Paul Naughton at Houstonia Magazine called with an assignment for a story he thought would I would enjoy and he was correct. Paul needed an image for the memories of a woman when she was bedridden as a child with fibromyalgia. Strangely, meals were her strongest memories and now seeing reminders of those meals vividly brought back those experiences for her. Her passion for preparing great food grew from those years of being served simple meals by a mom who was not a great cook. Paul and the editors went with this approach because it worked both as a metaphor for food taking you away from your problems or food being the reminder of a harder time.
