I thank you for including excerpts from these painfully pertinent essays at the end your recipe posting. While I look forward on Fridays to receiving your weekly featured recipe, today—-and so many days over the past months—-has been filled with disappointment, worry and anger at the cruelties visited on so many in our country. A beautiful baking blog is the last place these offenses should encroach but tonight I am so grateful to be reminded others feel the same concern and yearning to help. So that’s twice in twenty four hours, dear Sam that YOU have helped ME. I had a birthday dinner last night for a friend who doesn’t like dessert ( I know; shocking!) and I made your key lime pie, as his wife told me it was the only sweet he eats. He said it was far and away the best one he’d ever had—-and it was also rather glamorous looking. Many thanks for all—-all—- you do.
Hi Susan, I thank you for this comment. I live by the the truth that everything, including food, is 'political'. When access to food is deliberately limited to a few, when local farms are struggling because of unfair laws and policies, when school lunch programs are taken away from children, when people are dying trying to get flour... I think more bloggers and food writers need to discuss these issues with their communities, to inform and connect with each other. I'm glad the articles touched you and made you feel less alone in these concerns, know that you never are <3
p.s. thrilled that the key lime pie worked out so well =D
