I was going through photos from last year and found this one. Anyone would be able to eat a serving of pasta and not need photographic evidence.

For Mike, though, it was a Big Deal to eat anything, let alone spaghetti with meat sauce. Which is why I took his picture.

He is, in fact, sitting at a table with a plate of food in most of last year’s photos. 

He actually spent more time praying and meditating than he did eating. 

But he wouldn’t have wanted me taking pictures of him working on his spiritual life.
