People talk about “pivoting” as a mark of resilience and savvy, but pls remember that for many it is a desperate last gasp.

I wrote about a cook, laid off during #COVID19 panhandling to support his family, living in their 2003 Saturn, and the long fall for restaurant workers during the collapse of the restaurant industry. knpr.org/desert-compani…

Can we please get people stimulus checks and mortgage relief and rent forgiveness and small business support and free testing and hazard pay and healthcare for the uninsured (& underinsured) in the middle of a pandemic or is that too socialist too?

Amen.

“Tragedy shouldn’t be curated”

I don’t know what else to do right now...so we World Central Kitchen just started cooking. Pizzas weren’t enough for everyone...many have been working over 30 hours nonstop. So we turned Jaleo into WCK kitchen cooking 100s of hot stews on this cold night...plus fried egg sandwiches & fruit!

We have a secret: some of the best #vegetarian cookbooks aren’t vegetarian cookbooks at all. Case in point, “The Nimble Cook,” by PrpleKaleKitchenwrks, a #wastefree cookbook packed with tons of great vegetable-forward recipes. ow.ly/iAws50EdksQ foodprint.org/blog/vegetaria…

Let the press loose. This, I hope, is one of hundreds of stories to come on this debacle.

For some #vegetarian recipe inspiration, pick up one of our top 10 favorite vegetarian cookbooks including books by Robin Robertson @MollieKatzen PrpleKaleKitchenwrks Ottolenghi @abraberens Joshua McFadden @bryantterry @Phaidon Madhur Jaffrey foodprint.org/blog/vegetaria…

I love this tweet and the snark it inspires.

Me & my 3 yo discussing what we want to plant this summer. Me: watermelon! Him: tomatoes! Me: strawberries! Him: can we plant chicken? Me, laughing: no silly. Chickens are animals. Him, looking at me like I’ve lost it: No, chicken the *food*. Me: 😳 Him: can we? Me: 😶

In great company here!
