Here's my monthly update (ok, 3 months this time) on what I've been writing, reading, and eating, featuring silly writerly angst along the St. Lawrence River, Murderbot diaries, @pas-mal.bsky.social's hilarious All You Can Kill, grief, and the pleasant burn of spicy tofu in Toronto’s East Chinatown.

My latest newsletter is about how I use tofu to veganize fish recipes. Fun, right?? I've shared what I think are some good techniques and ideas, and I hope they inspire you in some way to use soy instead of sea creatures in your next meal. ✌️

Vegan thumbprint variations: candied cherries and Campari clementines; cranberry and clementine curds; Jaguar chocolate (made from naturally blonde cacao!). The base is whipped shortbread, some made with coconut oil, some unrefined canola. It's a real R&D cookie season for me this year!

Building on last week's vegan pastry cream recipe, I made two types of berry curd -- seabuckthorn and mulberry -- for the grand finale tartlets for my Great Canadian Baking Show but Vegan challenge. Turned out great! Here is the recipe! I think this curd would be rad with all sorts of fruit!

Timing is everything - Got 🥛?
Bird flu, a virus that can also affect humans, has been discovered in a batch of raw milk sold in California store refrigerators, state regulators said Sunday.
It comes just a few days after a child tested positive for bird flu for the first time in U.S. history.

Bird flu detected in raw milk sold at California store
The H5N1 virus was found in a sample of unpasteurized milk at a store, prompting a recall of one batch. Health agencies have warned against the growing dietary fad.

I love taking a random Wednesday off sometimes to just clear the decks and write all day. I used to hoard my vacation days and only take a full week at a time, but I find a Big Wednesday can do a lot for me, especially in the winter. Friday is good too sure, but I like the middleness of Wednesday.
