They share meals together, gathering around the table to meet new people, come together with family or friends. David talks about how the restaurant has become a place where people are able to gather and come together. They have hopes to continue to grow that!
  
  
  
  Tim Paige also talks about how food can bring people together and that is important to him.
  
  
  Conversations around food are also addressed in the book, The Color of Food. The author, Natasha Bowens, would often share food with the people she would be visiting while they would share their stories with her. I believe this was a powerful way to connect.
  
  Time.com also has a story from 2014 titled How Sharing Food Makes You A Better Person in which they discuss how sharing food with people can make you think about fairness, authority and greed. Sharing food, since early days, has been linked with cooperation. 
  
  I hope that these conversations will continue in the community. I believe these conversations are more important to have now than ever. Let's continue to get some food and get together with people that we may not know and have a conversation!

  Food is the main subject that brings everyone together and home for the necessary occasions and brings you together and provide good conversation. Food brings the community and the neighborhood out and is the key to fixing solutions.

  More opportunities for the community to come together and connect, while learning different food traditions and cultures. More community events  for fun and social purposes and getting to know one another , while observing and smelling the food in the air makes well for family fun and the opportunity to learn new recipes and traditions.

  From the "Color is food" With food comes a long conversation knowing what the family's doing and how they're doing- all of that has an impact on children having responsibility , parents, elders, community, everybody having a responsibility. If you don't communicate then there's a lack of it. Food can be the center of that communication" page. 130

  Growing and Food Traditions

  
  In Natasha Bowen's book, The Color of Food I learned about agricultural traditions in communities of color that have been passed down through generations. One story that particularly struck my attention was a portrait of agriculturalist Don Bustos. Don Bustos runs a farm in New Mexico where he practices Acequia agriculture and uses his farm as a tool to mentor other people that are interested in starting their own farms. In the portrait Bustos talks about how in the Acequia culture they  plant with the moon cycles to use the moon's energy to help their plants grow. For me, growing up as a granddaughter of a farmer and working on a CSA farm as a young adult, I have gathered a little bit of experience in agriculture and farming, but the idea of farming that I knew was always working in the daylight. Bustos also talked about how he knows when it is time to plant, "My mom would always tell me 'always plant when the snow melts over there in the Chacoma, if you plant before that day it will freeze mi'jito.' So we always look at the mountains, the trees, the environment and how that will impact when you plant and what you grow that season." (97) I found it interesting to learn about different traditions farmers and gardeners have so I took this project to learn more about traditions in local communities. While I didn't find many videos about agricultural traditions right now I did find other traditions related to food and growing that brought interesting incites.
  
  In this clip Tim Page talks about connections between communities in the foods they eat and grow. 
  
  
  
  Here Laverne Henderson talks about how she learned to cook an about home remedies that she learned from her mother. 
  
  
  
  
  In the next video Carolyn talks about how how she has grown up eating greens. Now, as an adult Carolyn has formed some of her own traditions of ways to prepare greens and is passing on the traditions to younger generations.
  
  
  
  
  In this last video Vivian Mims talks about the tradition that she carries on with her family. She makes sure that nothing goes to waste and that friends and family stay in good health.
  After hearing from a few Frogtown and Rondo community members I hope you reflect on some of your own traditions. What traditions have you learned from your elders? What traditions have you started yourself and what traditions will you carry on to younger generations?
