Kitchens and chapels

Throughout history, kitchens have been the chapels where women gather to soothe and fortify one another - chapels with colored wallpaper instead of stained-glass windows. The kitchen table, sticky with rings of juice from breakfast, is an altar of prayer. The soulful hum of the refrigerator replaces the choir.

~Patti Hill~ from her book, "Like a Watered Garden"
