It's a tough time. I'm 73 and so incredibly sad for my country. Baking can help, although I am afraid of depression eating, a slice every time I walk by. Bake and give away to others who might need cheering up.
I found you because you said you had a hard day and you were apparently looking over here when you said it, wondering if anyone would say, “Yeah, me too. Let’s do something about that.” So, that worked. Thanks!
Let us care for ourselves and each other with Acts of Resistance and Delicious Food.
I really was! Thank you! I also think you’ve hit the nail on the head with “Acts of Resistance and Delicious Food” - my new motto for 2025 (and the 3 years after that).
How very nice! I must share you with a couple of kitchen-loving friends and will, but first I have to figure out how to change from a free (read “deadbeat”) subscriber to paid. Substack tells us we can’t do that from their app, which strikes me as counter-productive. I didn’t have enough protein today to come up with an alternative. Tomorrow, for certain.
I just found you today on my feed. The one thing I love about Substack is the true feeling of community. My biggest fear now is that as it grows it will be managed in a way that it won't implode on itself and have to open up to the newest threat of the oligarchy buying everything up. I believe they are intentionally trying to break up anything that allows us to have opposition communities of communication. That being said, cooking is a way to heal my soul. It is always good to find like minded souls that cook to express creativity, feed others, and balance their own anxieties and fears. I will be putting you on my own personal "rotating subscription plan". Being on a fixed income, I set a limit to my monthly paid subscriptions - otherwise I would go broke! When I want to add a paid subscription to a writer that I want to support, I stop another subscription for a couple of months. There are a few that I absolutely want to keep always, but this method allows me experience the awesome creativity of so many more. We are in this together!
My heart hurts and the healthy thing is to look away but I care too much not to bear witness.
This is so eloquently said. I feel the same way.

That's a GREAT idea. I'm going to bring some cookies to my neighbor today.
