I love a good food discussion! As I made my "Healing Soup" yesterday, I thought a lot about food's connection with comfort and love. Our house is fighting the flu, and though this soup was a total "wing-it" situation, it reminded me of some of the lemongrass-turmeric-ginger soups that I was so lucky to taste and relish during our time of living in NYC. Moreover, I do believe there is a healing magic passed from one's hands to the mouths of those who eat the creations of one's laborious work. I do find it to be one of the most extraordinary things that we are so lucky to experience in this life. Your children are fortunate to have parents such as you two. I hope you all pass a lovely birthday celebration together.
That soup sounds amazing. So sorry to hear your house is fighting the flu. I have been struggling to feel 100% from something I came down with too. Here's to better health for the both of us!
Wait a second... why wouldn't you intend your voice and expression to be political right now? who said you needed to be some expert? standing up for what is right and for those who are truly oppressed is always necessary and important. So please get political. Musk and his comrades sure aren't "experts" but are they holding back? No.
This common idea that we shouldn't "get political" is dangerous and part of why we are where we are. Enough is enough.
So thank you for getting a little political. Nows the time.
Hi Jessica, I don't think you fully understood my footnote (or I wasn't clear), which is basically what you're saying—that everything is political right now. I've always been as political in my newsletters as I want and need to be. My point was, I'm not a journalist and I don't intend to just regurgitate the news, especially without factchecking, but I've always included links and resources and voiced my opinions.
That said, we all need to find that elusive balance of staying informed and protecting our mental health—and that is going to be different for everyone. I think my intention with that note was more of a heads up that future newsletters would probably always get political since fighting this administration is a long haul.
Gasp. What a sublime essay. Thank you. I could taste each flavor as you described them. I'm our family's (sometimes a bit above mediocre) cook. I don't generally mind, for the very reasons you describe, but this level? I'm not quite there, ha. Your appreciation comes through loud and clear, but, oh my, it's just beyond. I would buy a ticket to fly from Oregon to NYC for just a slice of one of his cakes.

This is so bizarre: I'm busy watching Schmitt's Creek now too. I feel like we keep having parallel watching patterns in oppositie continents!
☺️ That show is soooo relaxing.
