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.

The settlement cookbook and recipe. This is a recipe that I needed a memory of the final product to successfully recreate from the recipe given.
I found a recipe in the Settlement cookbook, which I’ve had for years without knowing it had a recipe.
It’s not exactly what she would have made, but after I made it the aroma brought me to tears.
I’m going to bake it into a pie for Christmas and set it out for her. I miss her more than ever.

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…

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’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.
