As I explained last week, I’m going to try out making a weekly editor’s post, usually linked to the calendar, the seasons, or current events. Here’s this week’s installment.

We’ve been celebrating harvest season in my household. The kitchen counter is lined with giant pumpkins, there’s popcorn drying on the cob, and we’re eating apples with every meal.

Maybe that’s why I noticed the other day that the final installment in a series about food and pregnancy had been left unposted since last winter. I interviewed Selina Rifkin before I sat down to write, so these posts are filled with her insights. Check them out:

1. Eating and spirituality when you’re growing a baby

2. Eating and spirituality Part 2: From the fields to our bellies

3. Eating and Spirituality Part 3: Food rituals in the childbearing year

4. Eating and Spirituality Part 4: Myth and symbol

I also posed this question on Facebook, but I’ll ask it here too: What were your pregnancy cravings? And what are you enjoying eating this October?
