Author Shannon Honeybloom: What’s in Your Fridge Friday?
After years of moving quickly through life (traveling the world, getting three degrees, acting in commercials), Shannon Honeybloom decided to slow things down. Way down.
She was a mother of two children in one of the busiest cities in the world. In a Statesman story earlier this month, Honeybloom recalled how having kids made her remember her own laid-back childhood where getting things done wasn’t as important as just enjoying whatever the day held.
She and her husband moved from New York City to Austin, where they now live with their three young kids and where all kinds of “slow” movements have converged. Creating a “slow” life at home is the subject of Honeybloom’s new book, “Making a Family Home.”
Taking the time to enjoy the process of cooking and eating is at the heart of the Slow Food movement, which means Honeybloom’s refrigerator is essential to her family’s effort to live life more slowly.
What three things are always in your fridge? Apples, butter, and hopefully something that contains chocolate.
What’s your favorite condiment? Mustard, especially spicy.
What’s the first thing you pull out of the fridge in the morning? I pull out the ice tea: I’m on a smoothie kick right now, and I like to use herbal tea in it. So I’ll fill up the blender with fruit, a little almond milk and chilled herbal tea — for a refreshing morning shake!
