Lara, I know we are both GenX CA people who went to SFSU, but I'm starting to think there is more to it than that. Sister from another Mister? Dormie from another Normie? Anyway, this is definitely the sign from the universe (and my mother out there somewhere) that I need to finally read Tender At The Bone. She always recommended it and wasn't a big reader, though she was great at the "ooh ah" cooking & presentations. Also, was it you that told me about Todd Alcott? https://www.etsy.com/listing/1190955313/squeeze-black-coffee-in-bed-1950s-coffee I got this one and Tempted. Also, Casual is great-- did you watch Tiny Beautiful Things? It might not be a 1:1 with Casual but it's wonderful, especially with your writer hat on writing about your life. Keep going, I'm here to keep reading! <3
Hey Sister! Oh you will LOVE Tender at the Bone, and all of Ruth's books! Well, maybe not the fiction, but the memoirs are amazing. As is the Swiss Pumpkin. Lemme know if you make it!
And I *might* have been the one to tell you about Todd Alcott. I LOVE his Squeeze prints (although I haven't bought one yet) and recall reaching out to him b/c he spelled something wrong on one of them ;) He thanked me and fixed it.
Thank you SO MUCH for reading, commenting and supporting my writing. It means so much to me.

And yes! I watched Tiny Beautiful Things. It was v. good - so good to see the *rest* of Sheryl Strayed's story depicted. And I love Katherine Hahn!
