Sometimes they go too quick, but when waiting for my Goodreads app to load on my phone, there’s always a quote that pops up. Yeah, you like those too? Who doesn’t love a good quote? I have no less than four quote images saved to my phone’s camera roll and many more on Pinterest to ponder. Here was the most recent one that struck me:

Why yes, Mr. Lewis, you are correct. I blogged about my foray into making every sandwich in the Sandwiches! book by Deering and Lentz. I’m reading through every book Bee Wilson, a food academic, publishes. So clearly I have the food thing down (and my Instagram is a lot of the yummy treats I bake). And this blog? It’s pretty much all about my life and career as a school librarian reading my way through young adult like… it’s my job.

I’ve yet to find the best way- other than reading on a device- to read and eat at the same time because I always get gunk on the pages or can’t hold the book right while stabbing at something on my plate. No matter what, tea usually nearby. They certainly combine admirably.

Are there food/beverage combinations that you find yourself regularly pairing? Is there some larger cosmic reason that food and reading go well together? I agree and love the mystery of why.
