Always enjoy your mix of subjects, Marg, and the shoutouts to excellent fellow bloggers like Emily Grim-Throop. I can truly relate to your cooking failures as I have so many of my own. I believe I read The NY Times piece on toxic positivity and it’s connection to mental health. I can relate to that too!

I realised recently that I rarely share my cooking failures and this gives the impression that everything I cook is terrific. Not true! As you said, there are plenty of times where things just don't work out for whatever reason. Same as in life :)

Thanks so much for the shoutout, Marg! I had a good time putting together those recommendations - maybe I'll do a little mini tour guide series for other places, too.

I don't bake much because of my tendency to improvise in recipes, haha! So i can definitely relate to your pizza dough foibles. Baking can be unforgiving. Sounds like you made the best of it - apple pie for dinner is hard to beat.

I'm loving the longer-form writing you've been linking to, also. I think there's a lot to relate to in what you've written about getting older, no matter what age you are. Thanks for the insights.
