Thank you for the book recommendation. My copy is ordered👍🏻 I’ve been using cooking and baking as grief therapy this month.
Do you remember the book Recipe for a Perfect Wife? I bought it based on your blurb and absolutely loved it! I think of those characters often. It sent me down a rabbit hole exploring my grandmothers’ cookbooks from the 40s and 50s. What a delight, thank you❤️
I was wondering how you were doing after your father's death. When I missed my father terribly, I would bake one of his favorite treats. And then take most of it to our disabled neighbor, who has a mouth of sweet teeth. After many many months, I felt a little better. I hope time helps you. And I am making this walnut cake tomorrow! Yum. I have a book recommendation. Remember the movie "Enchanted April?" The book on which it's based is better! It's by Elizabeth Von Arnim. I was laughing out loud.
That book is waiting for me at the library! I also made that cake last week, so I feel very aligned with your three things - I just need some cocktail napkins...
Weekday Vegetarians entered our house a week or two ago. I have a goal to have at least one night per week have a tofu/seitan/tempeh dinner, and another bean based. I told my husband last night as I was preparing crispy smoky tofu sandwiches that plan is for in between these plant based meals to have shrimp or salmon or chicken - and this week as a reward for him we’ll have hanger steak and crispy Parmesan potatoes. I’m very excited about this! I did tell hubs that it would be a lot easier to go plant based if he could get over his dislike of tomatoes 😂
I had to cancel my GLWD shift on Tuesday due to family illness—so sorry to miss it. I'm posting here in the hope that someone was waiting for a spot to open up!
Thank you for the book suggestion. Just downloaded a copy from NetGalley! I’m having a lovely, lazy vacation day, staring at the sea. Perfect place to curl up with this title.

Completely forgot about that one! But yes, very similar to Mrs. Quinn. It's also giving "Lessons in Chemistry."
I enjoyed Lessons in Chemistry😀

I just love your writing, Jenny. That last section especially. I always feel right there with you. 🤍
I added that cookbook to my TBR and can't wait to dive-in!
