Hello out there.
It’s been a long time since I showed my face around here. I’m very much appreciating the return of fall.

I feel paralyzed by all the horror and heartache going on in the world right now. You know who doesn’t feel paralyzed by it? Terrible people, doing terrible things. They feel emboldened and inspired.

After thinking about it for three years, I finally attempted to recreate my grandmother’s green tomato mincemeat (“mock” mincemeat) with the last of the tomatoes from the garden.
I haven’t been in the presence of this mincemeat since before my grandmother passed, 30+ years ago…

Y’all it’s only been nine years, 9 not 12, that’s how long these years have felt.
I forgot to say,
I am located in New York’s Capital District in the U.S.
I grew up in Southeastern Michigan, started my career in NYC and spent over 15 years there before we opened our restaurant in the Hudson Valley
Pizza Man and me before we opened the restaurant, and a million (12) years later.

I used to be fun and kind of funny on the other site, in the old days, then things went off the rails and I got very serious.
I miss the fun me.

I’ve been on Bluesky for quite awhile but am only now learning the ins and outs. Thanks for following and hopefully, having some food related fun.
I’m obsessed with cookbooks, food writing and media, food justice, social justice, CHEESE, seasonal produce, delicious food, preserving and reviving underrepresented food culture and traditions, genuine kindness and community, and really funny, quirky humor.
I love cats especially our cat Kit Kat.

Food folks Please help with your recommendations for good Irish recipes/resources accessible from the U.S.
Particularly holiday dishes and meals.
A student wants to make an Irish Christmas dinner and the recipes I’ve found so far are mostly stereotypical Irish-American fare.
