I don’t know how old your kid is, but I used to teach a summer creative writing camp for middle schoolers, and this is better than most anything I’d read there. Funny, clear sentences. He can write for Haterade any time.

I should *be* so lucky, Kate. Thank you for sharing!

I heard something similar from my mom about the harshness of peppers and chiles post-chemo! Hope you and your taste buds have fully recovered (and that the mayo-appreciation remained). ♥️

I know what you’re thinking: “Liz, how can I, too, make a web-footed squash goose at home?”

I wrote a different article for you: open.substack.com/pub/haterade...

Cannot believe @effingcandleco.bsky.social would out me in this cruel manner.

It is a privilege to be Known.

Thanks, Owen! Hoping there’s something extra delicious for you on the other side of this.

Also, ICYMI: I still think you should make this cheesy corn.

4. The Liz Cookies. This is cookie maximalism bordering on parody: brown butter, toasted sugar, spelt, miso, pecan, butterscotch, sea salt.

I did not put gochujang in them, so I deserve a recipe development pass.

3. Iowa Taco Pizza. Anyone who can’t appreciate crushed Doritos, cumin-scented cheddar jack, and homemade taco sauce drizzled liberally over a sturdy pie has a withered soul.
