Fathers & Stepfathers
from Kochleffel (From Let's Talk About Food)
Dan Michaud "Ron, Jade Valley and the Power of Place" When his soon-to-be stepfather Ron rolled into teenage Dan’s mother’s house in an orange Fiat convertible. They began a thirty-year conversation. Dan’s tribute to “Ron who gave me Shakespeare, Miles Davis, and winter picnics” (plus a killer recipe for Beef Stroganoff). Alvin Crawford "The Luckiest Guy" Family dinners are not always happy moments. Our storyteller, Alvin Crawford, with his father remembers his dinners with his father as stressful rituals, more of an inquisition than a time to come together around food. Alvin, now a non-profit executive, recounts how he survived those meals and grew to understand, if not accept, his father’s intensity. And, ultimately, to learn how to enjoy meals with his own young family. Photos Courtesy of BJ Versoy Heritage Radio Network is a listener supported nonprofit podcast network.
