What is TableTimes about?

The site isn’t about cooking.  It also doesn’t serve to promote the ‘Styista’ who stages ‘effortless’ events you can try at home. The last thing the world needs is another one of those.  The site is about promoting appreciation for and enhancing those parts of our lives that happen over a meal. This exists for the sole reason that sitting down at a table is different from, say, eating on a couch. . Try this. Compare the way you feel when you sit down on the couch to eat something compared to sitting at a table. Feel a difference in focus? Do you find yourself thinking about different things than when you were sitting on the couch? If you feel that difference in focus and what you thing when alone just examine the difference when you are sitting down face to face across from someone in your life compared to just sitting on a couch facing the same direction. Unfortunately it’s those different thoughts and exactly that focus it seems we are unconsciously running away from. We miss those valuable opportunities to think about or discuss our relationships, the directions of our lives or the impact we have on the world or each other. We go out of our way to invite distraction, not be focused and to remain blissfully detached.

My goal here seduction …making what goes on and what happens around the table so interesting and compelling that we might be inspired to change, to choose focus and to resist distraction in this one area of our lives. We will be talking about all the many ways there are to honor the table as a place to connect, celebrate, make decisions, confront issues and express creativity.

Having spent nearly my entire career in the development of consumer products, especially tableware. Over the years I’ve worked with factories all over the world to make things in glass, metal, ceramic, textile etc. for manufacturers and retailers including some of the world’s largest tableware manufactories. I like holding a well-made fork and a well-balanced knife in my hand. I like the way a porcelain coffee cup warms up just enough to comfort your hands but not enough to burn them.  I like knowing why things are shaped the way they are, how they’re made and what the history is behind their being. I like knowing how different cultures experience the ritual of a meal. I decided to to combine my passion for those special moments over a meal with my interest in the history and craft involved in those things that we literally bring to the table.
