I love the idea of a digital detox day! The question is, do I have the guts and discipline to make it work? Hmm...

digital detox, hmmmm...could a full IG pause be next? 😉

Why, yes! My two-week pause has taught me that less is more. Popping in minimally.

So very impressed with what you’re doing, Amie and look forward to many future posts on the subject (and maybe a book someday of collected recipes and writing?). Such an excellent idea to collect handwritten recipes from friends’ archives via snail mail. I shall have to dig through my trove in quest of something worth contributing!

Nothing quite compares to holding an actual note in hand. I recently discovered two notes that my great grandmother sent my great aunt in 1915. I look forward to your recipes and insights in 2024.

I prefer the phase avid curator of all things culinary to hoarder. 😉 “Happy birthday to you,” she says raising a mug a Russian tea. ~ Leigh

digital detox....hmm, could a IG pause be forthcoming?

Tang! I remember it well! And your comment about wanting to be an author at age 8 - somewhere I have my first diary, and in the front inside cover I wrote, “I am a writer at age 8!!” I wonder what it was about turning 8 - new awareness of becoming an adult maybe? Your recipe exploration sounds like a wonderful 2024 project.

Love this newsletter!! And the digital detox aspect of cooking, the need to pay attention to real life ingredients and stovetop stuff is one of the things I enjoy most about cooking!!
