"Toe liberation" is the feeling of finally being able to wiggle your toes freely—and as individuals—after they've glommed into one solid block due to a too-long stint out in the cold or smashed into an unforgiving work shoe.
The same remembrance and rediscovery of comfort—of toes once frozen, now swaddled—is the feeling we seek with many a fall dinner. Ah, this is what it feels like to sit down, to stop and think, to eat vegetables where there has only been Halloween candy.

For this next one, you'll want to invite a lot of sock-footed friends to help you eat:

When I'm low, I turn to simple (really simple things), mostly heaps one kind of vegetable (that was cheap and looking good today/yesterday) cooked in water, then topped with too much trashy processed cheese. It is fast, filling, salty and warm, and one can snuggle up in bed with a bowl watching something un-exciting.
When I'm really, really bad, there is always zwieback microwaved with milk.
