sending you and your fam some extra love on today ❤️ books are always my default comfort for difficult times (less emotionally stimulating than music/film in some ways?)

Thanks for the love <3 I agree, books often manage to be more comforting when I'm barely functioning!

Sending lots of love to you and and your family ❤️ when I’m sad, I like to go on a walk and either listen to a favorite album or just pay extra attention to what’s happening around me. Cooking isn’t always a remedy, and I don’t beat myself up about it, but sometimes doing something simple in the kitchen, like pickling something, feels good

Thanks Clare <3 walking is a must, or at least getting outside. it *does* feel so good to make pickles, doesn't it!?

Thank you very much, Devin, for the link to Laura Shapiro's informative and enjoyable review in Slate of The Food of a Younger Land edited by Mark Kurlansky. Although I've always taken a great interest in all the New Deal work projects, this is the first time I'm hearing about the America Eats project. Thanks for that delicious and calorie-free morsel! A walk or bike ride in the great outdoors almost always works for me, as does a good novel (within which I can happily lose myself).

You're so welcome! I hadn't heard of America Eats either, and am pretty fascinated by it.
