In October 1991 Smithsonian Magazine published Meredith s article on the potato s history. After moving to New Mexico in 1992, the Hugheses began collecting artifacts on many of the world s foods, with special emphasis on foods of the Americas. In recent years Tom has continued teaching and doing educational programs for children and teachers, while Meredith completed a ten book series called Plants We Eat, for Lerner Books, Minneapolis. Meredith writes Ask The FOOD Museum, a regular feature in Albuquerque s weekly alternative paper, The Alibi. Food is our focus, an all-encompassing subject we pursue with passion.
Food is serious business.
Ask any hungry person. As our motto coined by writer M.F.K. Fisher precisely puts it, First we eat, then we do everything else.
