Finally, the post @bomkatt said she’d be interested in: Sweet Potato & Chorizo Hand Pies
The project is coming out of a a few months where I explored British style savory pies. They weren’t really my thing. This though was great—a merging of their pastry dough with more American flavors.

Had a moment of relief and elation on my run. I pulled out my phone and saw a text from an old boss/mentor. He had sent a pic of the letter I wrote twenty years ago thanking him for accepting me as a intern at his bakery.

Accepted a position in a local college’s dining program. It’s gonna be good to feed people again. Work with my hands. Pass on a craft. Probably be a fucking mentor again. (Just got a text from a gal I trained over a decade ago!)

I’ll be honest. As an American, I meet Americans from other regions and can often feel like I’ve nothing in common culturally. No shared food, music, and history can be *tricky*. There is no nation-wide common culture or heritage here.

I’ll be supporting as many small races run by local RDs or groups. The money isn’t going away. It does some good, like keeping some races going when the original RD needs to move one.

Latest addition to the rebuild: Pecan Pie using Damon Lee Fowler’s recipe, a go to for 20 years or so. Brown sugar instead of Karo, so it isn’t quite as sweet. And enough pecans to fill the shell. And a healthy dash of bourbon or whiskey.

“Move towards automation” should raise eyebrows Also: they want you to think “34 Million able-bodied on Medicaid” means people are LAZY, when what it really means is people are UNDERPAID. The oligarchy thinks we are all idiots. They are stealing from you and laughing at you.
