People of Substack!
Welcome back!
Um, welcome back to me, really.
Thank you for being such patient and lovely substack followers and bearing with the small vacation I took from the substacking world.
Here are some reasons:
I was preparing for the courses I’m teaching this semester.
I was too busy eating strawberry frosting directly from the bowl and worried I’d get icing on my keyboard.
I was emotionally exhausted by the inauguration.
The wireless service on my Caribbean island is RUBBISH.
Can you guess which one is made up?
Just know that if I had my own private island, all my substack subscribers would be invited. Just like Kim Kardashian flew all her friends to Tahiti for her birthday. Just like.
But I’m back and raring to go and, here’s what to look forward to:
The Secret Life of Cookies Podcast
I’ve been baking and talking about life and the world with some wonderful humans, including Mary Trump, Joyce Vance, E. Jean Carroll and Kathy Griffin. You can find the podcast link right here in this little red box:
Countdown to Breakfast Cakes
If you’re like me, you realized we’ve been doing this pandemic thing for a year now, plus: winter and grey and seasonal affective disorder and lordie, life feels like outtakes from Groundhog Day.
So: how best to hoist ourselves out of bed? The promise of cake. For the next few weeks I’m going to investigate the best of coffee cakes, sweet rolls and other delights that give a sweet start to the day. Have a coffee cake you want a recipe for? LMK.
Your Recipe Dilemmas and Questions Answered
Don’t forget, you subscribers get access to my family recipe service. I will happily update a family recipe for you or help you figure out how to make it taste just like Meemaw’s used to.
Thank you for your patience!
Please send me your requests, too!
