A home cook with a clue. I like it. Are you paying attention to ingredients an where they come from an packaged ? I'm always curious what people's theory on food an nutrition.. why are so many people not caring what they Put in their bodies..

Like if a liquid can take paint off a car and corrosion off the battery and then drink it is amazingly stupid. Coke is that liquid an so many drink it.

Happy anniversary! I loved the comment about self-flagellation, which in my case is generally preceded by kitchen hubris: "I surely know better than the recipe developer." Maybe that's how we keep learning?

I forgot to add this to my message to you when I signed up to be a paid subscriber that I LOVED your newsletter article, “How To Wash The Dishes”. Spot on! Enlightening and funny. Thank you and happy anniversary.

I think the first year of mess hall was the first year we became friends because I distinctly remember that night we ate one of those very delicious steak recipes from the Estela cookbook (tartare, with fried sunchoke chips lol) and smoked out (via the sunchoke chips) that tiny Fort Greene studio I was staying in because I was living at my parents' house in new jersey and so desperately wanted to be living in Brooklyn. happy anniversary, mess hall, and happy friendversary, to us.
