Short Story: Stone Soup

In today’s society, family is often attempted to be organized within a social structure. Within this structure family typically is consisted of mom, dad, daughter, and son. However, many families do not fit into this configuration. These families may include same sex couples, separated or divorced families, extended families, or even blended families. Even though these families may be happy and healthy, to many they are not considered real families. Going along with the topic of imperfect families, both Barbara Kingsolver and Richard Rodriguez try to break down the traditional family structure through their writing. While Kingsolver’s “Stone Soup” and Rodriguez’s “Family Values” explore the ideas of different family structures and traditional American values, “Stone Soup” breaks down what an actual family is like while “Family Values” expresses the value of family in different cultures.

With a mission of celebrating, preserving, and nurturing America’s culinary heritage, for one of just a handful of times, the James Beard Foundation opened the kitchen and dining rooms of the Beard House in New York City to the Mississippi Delta. Maybe not the first, but definitely the first of its kind, an all-star cast of Delta chefs and beverage masters presented our story, their passion and their perfectly prepared menu to a packed house of predominantly New York locals.

Looking around this packed room, it's surprising just how far some people are prepared to travel for a free lunch. It's very fortunate that Charles was not involved in developing the menu; otherwise you would have been very disappointed to have come all this way for cheese sandwiches washed down with lager.

The restaurant that I have chosen to research is the Pearl Rodgers Dinning Center. This restaurant is known by every person on this campus, students have the opportunity to work there, either by choice or if the college places them there.

The reason I have chosen to discuss this restaurant today, is to share some knowledge about the Pearl that not everyone may be aware of.

Glenda said something about going to 24-hour fitness. As they finished their cake, a murmur of conversation began. Then, Glenda pushed her plate towards the middle of the table, and said, “I could use a drink.” Her comment served as a signal, and everyone stood up and began to mill around the patio.

What was once an average daily commute to the office had become the place we hated each other most. Our ritual ruined us. Every morning before our drive to our respective offices, Frank brought me a slice of toast – buttered on both sides – for breakfast. I’d adjust his tie once he placed himself in the driver’s seat. His hands always had smears of butter on them, and neither of us wanted him to ruin his clothes.
