Tommy Druen: A battle that can never be fully won

Previous Column: Remember to take pictures

By Tommy Druen

I'm having a love affair.

It's no secret--my wife is fully aware. In fact, she's often my willing accomplice. Sometimes, we sneak away in the morning. Other times, we rendezvous in the afternoon. But more often than not, our adventures take place late at night, after the kids are asleep.

Yes, I'm in love--with food.

Now, I hesitate to call myself a "foodie." That term carries a certain air of pretension I find unappealing. While I won't turn down a gourmet meal, I'm just as comfortable at a ramshackle food truck or a barbecue joint that looks like the health department might condemn it any minute. Great food isn't about price or setting; it's all about flavor.

But food is more than just a pleasurable experience. It has deeper meaning, as my friend and pastor, Patrick DeVane, reminded me with a story about World War II and bread.
