Calling food friends! Feminist Food Friends is a collaborative space for food-minded people started by Isabela Bonnevera and Zoë Johnson (Feminist Food Journal), Apoorva Sripathi (shelf offering), Clare Michaud (Beurrage), Margaux Vialleron (The Onion Papers), Sarah Duignan (anthrodish), Steph Marsden (Amuse), and me. Our first event is on Sept 29 and will be a meet-and-greet, with some musings on the state of women in food. Paid subscribers to any of the above newsletters get in for free (find the code here) and tickets are available on a sliding scale. Bring questions and snacks!
What if I list what it takes to get dinner on the table? Not simply the cooking. That’s where you find me again. (Read Part One, Part Two, Part Three, Part Four, Part Five, Part Six, Part Seven)
Sarah Ruhl’s book 100 Essays I Don't Have Time to Write is one of my favorites, especially the opening essay On Interruptions. I return to it when I need to remember this: “At the end of the day, writing has very little to do with writing, and much to do with life. And life, by definition, is not an intrusion.”
