With the recent unsavory SCOTUS decision veering us further away from our experiment in democracy (after stripping women of their bodily rights and continuing the greed-soaked assault on our environment... but we digress), we feel sad and angry not celebratory this year. Then there is the divided body politik, the culture wars bent on keeping weath/ power / class unchecked. Seems to us sharing a meal together is our only common ground. We'll be making your recipes, which never, ever fail us --- which, to us, is worthy of celebration in no small way. Thank you, Alison, for the steadfastness in deliciousness, for providing a guide to comfort on these very dark days. 🤍🩵❤️
Can we please just read a cooking newsletter without politics being involved?! We all have more in common than not, and it's tiring having to constantly discuss all the ways in which we don't align instead of discussing the ways in which we do.
I’m sure you can read lots of cooking newsletters without politics being involved- most of mine, in fact. But not this particular one— you can choose to get your recipes elsewhere if a singular mention that doesn’t align with your beliefs feels so offensive to you!
Alison, it's just that it's everywhere, no escape. I don't even know how to respond to this without being contradictory or offensive to you or someone else. I'm not exactly offended by your post, I'm just tired of politics, which is not to say I think everyone needs to agree with each other on everything. My point is that as soon as the subject is mentioned online someone is bound to feel slighted, excluded, or misunderstood, and there's no winning, since the discussions aren't in person where people can see faces and body language and hear tones. I clearly irritated you, which was not my intention, truly. Enjoy your holiday cooking.
