I just wanted to let you know how much I've been enjoying this newsletter.
Reading Tender at the Bone in the late 90's sprouted a seed planted years before by other mentors.
A baker's dozen years later, we met at a winery event in Santa Rosa. I had just moved to Japan and had left my day job as a marketing exec to pursue food blogging. It was a tumultuous time, but your words of encouragement helped me put aside any doubt about my choices.
A decade later, change is in the air again, and these dispatches are precisely what I need in this moment of existential uncertainty. Thank you for the comfort and ongoing inspiration!
The first story touched me, as a young queer person with trepidation re: coming out to my family. An occasion like this without a blowup, back when my parents were newlyweds, is so reassuring.

I loved the 3 beautiful stories. Reminds me how much I loved Garlic and Sapphires. I must pull it up from my library and read it again.
