Food is Love

I am currently on vacation in the mountains in upstate New York so I'm trying to spend less time with the electronics and more time with nature and family, but I just had to put my two cents on here before snoozing on a hammock.

We drove up here from DC and it took us a good 6 hours to reach this giant house in the middle of nowhere. And since the closest grocery store is 20 miles away, we figured it would be a good idea to take a few food items for the first 2 days and buy the rest there. Apparently that translated into taking half our kitchen. So the morning of our departure, we are faced with 4 bags of clothes, 2 backpacks, my sister's guitar and 6 bags of food.

I don't know if this applies to all ethnic groups but any Indian event, holiday or gathering is focused around the food. I think it's the funniest thing in the world.
