Ah Amie, I love this! All of it. You had me laughing right out loud, honestly. My Mom had a Kitchenaid dishwasher, and so did my Nana. Ours did the leaky door thing. Nana always told me the best thing about a kitchen is to leave it spotless at night before you go to bed. Um, I fail at that regularly...that sticky casserole or late-in-the-day baking pan... yeah, they can soak until morning. I still feel guilty and wonder if Nana is watching, but I do it anyway sometimes. And like your Mom, I am still waiting for my oven to self-clean. I wait in vain. I may actually have to get on my knees and do it. You look great, and the t-shirt is the best!

It's 9:09 pm here and yes, I could tidy up the kitchen. But ... I'm so lazy! But ... in the morning I will feel so happy! Will I pay it forward to my future self? Let's see.

As always, I love your mom's drawing(s), and I love your proclamation of steering clear of politics and staying true to your Cook & Tell mission. Yay. I always love reading your posts, too.

“Flour to the people!”—a slogan that deserves a banner and a prize. Your mom was so witty. I appreciate her take on “politics” and yours too, Amie—as in delivering a newsletter free of it and dedicated “to the pursuit of happiness in the kitchen”—something many of us are in desperate need of these crazy days.
