Shari Glady and Sarah Stevenson began to exchange food memoir stories. Their friendship and respect grew the more they wrote. Sarah's daughter, Melissa, shared her friend Jen's fictional food title containing a mix of leftover ingredients, and Donkey Fazoo was born. Love of food and family stories are contagious. Who can't love left over apple pie for breakfast? Who has ever had a Labrador Retriever chase a ham around the kitchen floor or had snails escape their shells to be found on the floor beating it out the door? Oysters Rockefeller were eaten with David Rockefeller, and a prisoner of war was forced face down in a field of spinach. There is a welcome variety of food stories garnished with love. Donkey Fazoo is about common as well as unusual ingredients beloved by all of us. Our excitement about food is contagious and encourages those that we share stories with to remember their own experiences with food. The history about many of these foods is explained. The love of food, family and friends makes a lovely five course meal.
