Film Review: “The Help” and The Supper of the Lamb

Last updated on: August 15, 2011 at 5:00 am By Rachel Marie Stone

Last summer, I listened to the brilliant audiobook edition of The Help, and loved it so much that when I got to the end, I started again at the beginning. So when I heard that a film version was in the works, I was terrified that it would be a disappointing botch-job of a book that moved me alternately to laughter and tears; stills and previews from the film made me fear that Hollywood would make the white woman (Skeeter,...

Sunday Recipe: Summer Pasta Salad

Last updated on: August 14, 2011 at 5:00 am By Rachel Marie Stone

This is one of those dishes that I begin craving sometime in late winter. But it is most assuredly a midsummer’s meal: it’s cool, perfect for eating on hot nights; it’s transportable, great for taking to a picnic or a barbeque, and it’s flavorful, but only when you use the freshest seasonal ingredients. To tell the truth, I’ve never even been a big fan of pasta salads–mostly because I like, but do not love, mayonnaise–but this one is different. Try... Read more

Weekend Eating Reading: Ellyn Satter

Last updated on: August 13, 2011 at 5:00 am By Rachel Marie Stone

…the Saturday post! Weekend Eating Reading briefly discusses at least one good book that’s somehow related to ‘joyful eating,’ and is, throughout the weekend, updated with links to notable or newsworthy articles on topics relevant (I hope!) to readers of Eat With Joy. Feel free to point out (and link to) others in the comments! This week I’d like to highlight the work of Ellyn Satter, a dietician and counselor who’s a recognized authority on the issue of “feeding,” particularly when... Read more

Moment of Joy

Last updated on: August 12, 2011 at 5:00 am By Rachel Marie Stone

Inspired by Amanda Blake Soule’s {this moment}, I’m here beginning a Friday ritual: posting a single photo–no caption, no words–from the week capturing a moment or an idea expressing something related to {family, faith, food; joyful justice & bread of life} —a Moment of Joy. If you would like to do the same, leave a link to your photo in the comments! Read more

Taking Dominion? Genesis 1:28 and The Community of Creation

Last updated on: August 11, 2011 at 5:00 am By Rachel Marie Stone

God wants YOU to dominate the Earth! So says author and pastor Mark Chanski in a recent blog interview explaining what he calls “Biblical Dominion,” a concept he takes from Genesis 1:28, which reads: “And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” Chanski reads...

The Best Pizza in All the World

Last updated on: August 10, 2011 at 5:00 am By Rachel Marie Stone

Last year I moved back to my native land–the greater (i.e. downstate) NY area–after many, many years away. I’ve lived in Philadelphia, Chicago, California, Scotland, and Germany in the meantime, traveling to Rome and Paris in between. In each place, I longed for a real NY slice. Before singing the praises of my hometown pizza, I give you the utterly biased and probably unfair generalizations of the pizzas from my travels: Philadelphia: Renzi’s pizza in Bridesburg is good, but kinda...

White Collar’s Woman Problem

Last updated on: August 9, 2011 at 5:00 am By Rachel Marie Stone

[Or, Tiffani Thiessen is not fat.] {Today I’m delighted to welcome my co-blogger from the CT women’s blog, Gina Dalfonzo, with a guest post that grew out of a Facebook discussion we had on actresses and weight. Thanks so much for joining me at Eat With Joy, Gina!} The last thing I want to do is bash any actress because of her weight. There’s more than enough of that going on already, and even the super-skinny ones get more than... Read more

Breastfeeding and Justice

Last updated on: August 8, 2011 at 5:00 am By Rachel Marie Stone

Last week, the popular Christian blogger and writer Rachel Held Evans drew her readers’ attention to mothers living in poverty in places like Bolivia. These women, whom Evans met in person, daily face crucial decisions–educate this child or that one? can we afford books or can we afford food? Evans contrasted these decisions with North American “mommy wars”–debates like breast or bottle (feeding), cloth or disposable (diapers), and Sears or Ezzo (gurus). Such choices, in light of the life and death... Read more

Sunday Recipe–Eggplant Thai Curry

Last updated on: August 7, 2011 at 5:00 am By Rachel Marie Stone

I made this week’s Sunday Recipe with eggplant, basil, green sweet pepper, green beans and cherry tomatoes from our family’s garden. It went over big with the family, though my 5 year old–who is in a picky stage–denounced it as ‘sour.’ One of the things I like about this dish is that it brings together the foods we have plenty of right now–local–fusing them with flavors and techniques that are, well, global. It’s a dish where meat is more of a... Read more
