For a second I misinterpreted one of the egg photos and thought you were suggesting to serve a poached egg over chocolate mousse 🤣. I thought it was bold but thought “hey if Jenny says it’s good?”
I’ve been a home cook since I was 19. My husband and I (empty-nesters) have been semi-vegetarian for years. Feeding kids and transitioning to a non-meat diet aren’t issues where I need support. So I guess I’m a little outside of your target demographic.
Here’s what I get from your cookbooks and blog: inspiration! The photographs are beautiful and the easy, delicious, and nutritious recipes, and your charming notes, motivate me to get into the kitchen and start cooking. (Otherwise we’d just eat instant ramen and frozen pizza.) And, even though I have many vegetarian cookbooks, your plant-based recipes are the ones I mostly turn to.
Thank you for the book recommendation, Jenny! (and Andy). Hanif is not visiting a city near me but is doing a virtual chat with Ross Gay on April 11 that I just signed up for. Appreciate the recommendation!
Wow, WAIT is new to me (and so needed!!) also: very curious what’s under that crust. I never met a pie (fruit pie, pot pie, fish pie!!) that didn’t serve me well.
I’ve heard Kelly Corrigan’s reference WAIT but I honestly need someone to remind me every week about this. I have a 16, almost 19 and 22 year old and it is the best advice. Along the lines of “do no harm,” at this stage they only need a safe ear but it is oh so hard to not share advice that I, as the daughter of immigrants, would have LOVED to have known.
A wise friend (when I was biting my tongue and turning a blind eye often during the college application stage) reminded me that they grew up with me, and not my parents, and so already had absorbed most of what I was eager to say or advise.
But please—remind us again of WAIT. My kids will thank you!
Your friend is so very wise. I constantly have to remind myself that my kid (19) has to live their experience - mine is not transferrable. But there's comfort in thinking that they have absorbed a lot of what I would say already.
You are the cutest thank you @phoebecomix for #3. Needed to remind myself as well not to listen to the suggestions, questions, etc. My friend said she spent about 3 weeks periodically listening to Gregorian chant music when she transitioned from her junior job to a very grown up role and now I'm thinking I may try that out as well :).
Phoebe: 🙌🏾 so good! As is WAIT, Jenny! Never heard before; will be greatly beneficial. Thanks as always and looking forward to the Dianne dinner party plan Friday!

That comic is wonderful, can't stop laughing and will share with all of my coworkers hahaha
lol it's extremely relatable.
Thank you for WAIT. It is so hard as a parent, but has so much benefit if I stick to it. Love the friendly reminder! and the comic, perfect!

Love the W.A.I.T challenge. Going to give it a try as a chronic talker who lives with quiet people, it will be interesting.
W.A.I.T. - perfectly timed Jenny - have 22 and 24 year old daughters. I feel like I'm the one growing up when I'm with them now days. Thank you
W.A.I.T. -- I so needed this, (plus gragefruit cocktails) thank you for sharing. x
