My brother just published his first novel, Secrets of the Tsil Cafe, by Thomas Fox Averill, my favorite passage in the book which I think you will all appreciate and may wish to quote.   Following a description about how one should taste words, the mother, after reading Pooh, had Wes( the young son) taste honey :   " 'Mothers make milk for their babies', said my mother, 'I made milk for you.'  She twirled another spoonful of honey in the air and put it in her mouth, 'And bees make honey for their babies, Wes.  Those are the only two natural foods, made only to be eaten.   They're not anything else--not seeds, not flowers, not fruits, not leaves, not roots.  They're food, and food alone."
      The novel is a coming of age story and cookbook about a boy whose parents are both chefs.  It sure made me proud as a sister whose a lactation consultant to see that passage.  Hope to see some of you at ILCA.
