Breakfast Commune
Oct. 24th, 2015 11:56 am I just made myself just a little too much breakfast. No big deal, I needed to use up the last of the cheese. But it got me to thinking about shared meals and intentional community and working outside the house and all the compromises people make in order to share a meal at a table with people they trust.
Typically it's dinner that's the shared meal, even if it's a once a week thing. Which has its advantages, to be sure. No one wants to try to corral a community for the lunchtime meal, you'd have people skyping it in from all over town.
I just thought, "Why not breakfast?"! It has its drawbacks too, but damn, if I woke up to start my day with a meal I'd cooked, or someone else cooked for me, every day? That would be rather awesome.
So. Breakfast and/or Dinner. that's the temporal architecture I'd build for my ideal intentional community. Now you can go back to facebook cat pictures.
