Join me and author Arisa White in The Blue and Yellow Kitchen as we talk about her beautiful new genre-bending memoir Who’s Your Daddy. A blend of poetry and prose, it’s a book like nothing you’ve ever read and I encourage you to surrender yourself to the experience of traveling with her to Guyana in search of her absent father. I make metemgee: Guyanese coconut-broth stew with cassava, sweet potato, and plantain. Recipe link will be in bio.

For our final episode of Season 1, I’m joined in the kitchen by debut author Amy Zitelman, whose new cookbook explores a world of recipes I would never have considered making that incorporate tahini, a sesame seed butter that’s a key ingredient in Middle-Eastern cooking. I make the perfect holiday dish: Roasted Butternut Squash with Orange Tahini Sauce and a beautiful walnut-parsley-za’atar topping.

Join us this Wednesday at noon Pacific time for a welcome distraction from this week's events. I interview @catwallacehope about her fascinating new novel—part science, part mystery, part love story—and make "Zac's banana bread" from a pivotal scene. #WritingIsLove #WritingProcess #FoodieReads #ForthBinders #WomenWritersOfInstagram #AuthorCommunity #WritersWorkshop #WritersJourney #WriterInspiration #WritersLife📚##CreativeHappyLife❤️ https://www.instagram.com/p/CHGFsJohuY7/?igshid=kx9ss1fr0kw3

Last week Rachel Maddow opened her show with this, “Will you wake up on Election Day knowing that you have done EVERYTHING you could?” I have thought about that all week. I’m not going to list everything I’ve done, but I examined it and realized the one thing I haven’t was text a family member in a swing state and ask them to vote blue. It wasn’t an easy conversation, but I did it. My family heritage on both sides is German. I often wonder if we have relatives who were Nazis, or collaborators with Nazis, or “nice people” who didn’t want to get involved, who looked away, who thought it really couldn’t be that bad because it wasn’t affecting them. Germany is still reckoning with her past, but ALL THOSE PEOPLE are thought of as Nazis. That’s how serious this is. So I encourage all of us to do ALL that we can these last two weeks, whatever that looks like for you. Let’s take our country back so we can begin the reckoning, rebuilding, and healing. #writingislove #writingprocess #memoirwriters #writingmemoir #foodiereads #forthbinders #womenwritersofinstagram #authorcommunity #writersworkshop https://www.instagram.com/p/CGhthikBuLc/?igshid=97zjmah13yzt

I ended up in this canyon this morning. I took a different route than normal so I could drop something off at a neighbor’s. And in a few steps I was in this different world. Peaceful. Bird song. Trail crunching underneath my feet. It’s going to be another day under the “heat dome” which means some level of migraine (I’m on day 4, but doing okay). So I get up early to get at least one walk in, move my body, see the world a bit. Moving off my beaten path made a difference. Can you try that today? . . . . . #writingislove #writingprocess #memoirwriters #writingmemoir #foodiereads #forthbinders #womenwritersofinstagram #authorcommunity #writersworkshop https://www.instagram.com/p/CGXlFWDBuaL/?igshid=17jm7oxk0e6jd
