Food with Friends

Edgar Randolf, a homeowner, Edna Seabrook, his cook, and the homeowner's friend, Dan Cleary, expound on food and cooking. Dan comes sometimes with another friend. Their notions of dining include about diet and the kitchen. Edgar and Edna enjoy regular meals in their living situation, Edna is the most involved in the cooking and kitchen duties. Their time is spent with regular enjoyment of food. In the course of many weeks, Edgar serves herbal teas and dishes to his friends. As years pass, Edna lectures on cooking and takes some outside jobs. The general approach to the meals goes through various dishes, to baking, cookie making, rolls, bread and pretzels. Then the serious meat eaters dishes are given attention. After lengthy herb tea presentations, the focus is on Thanksgiving and turkey, and that is followed by some pork recipes. Then, the general approach is from a mock cafe where there are considerations of vegetarianism, fasting, and cookware. Finally, a return to the general meals and dishes takes the consideration to a new view of more dishes. Matthew was born abroad and graduated from high school in Hawaii (Oahu).
