morning assembly!
just some announcements :)
Hi pals,
I spent last Friday at my niece’s school as a visiting author. It was such a joy to meet with so many students, from third graders (her class) all the way up to a group of high school students in a business and entrepreneurship course. With the youngest kids, I taught them how to write their own recipes and then we assembled theirs to make class cookbooks. The teenagers had such great questions and curiosity. Before lunch, I answered rapid fire questions at an assembly with the entire middle school. What a day!
For today’s newsletter, I wanted to treat it a bit as a community assembly and share a variety of announcements with you all. I’ll be back next week with some Thanksgiving encouragement, etc.
NEWSLETTER UPDATES
I LOVE LUNCH: I started this newsletter in April 2022 on a bit of a whim. Now more than two-and-a-half years and nearly 150 posts later, I’m so pleased to have recently introduced some more writing and have been so enjoying visiting your inbox twice a week. If you’re new here, Tuesdays are “I Love Lunch” which are devoted to my love of lunch and include a weekly easy lunch recipe for paid subscribers. Thursdays are my general newsletter which include a range of things from charts, lists, essays, interviews, announcements and more.
EASIER TO FIND STUFF: In realizing how many posts I’ve written, I thought it would be great for all of us (myself included!) to make it easier to find older posts. I’ve gone through every post and tagged every I Love Lunch post, each post that includes a chart, all of the recipes, and each post that includes a helpful list of something. You can now search by these categories at the top of the main page (see image below). Note that this works best on a computer, not a phone.
Here are all the categories linked for you:
I will continue to tag upcoming posts so these categories stay up to date!

WHAT GOES WITH WHAT
HOLIDAY GIFT! If you haven’t already gotten your copy or are thinking of getting a signed copy for a holiday gift for someone you love, remember you can get signed + personalized copies from my local independent bookstore, Oblong Books. Makes for a wonderful holiday gift! If you want your signed copy to arrive in time for Christmas, please order by December 5th. Just click here:
You can also order copies anywhere you get books!
SUPPORT: If you’re looking for another way to support the book (hey, thanks!) and want to be a real mensch: please leave a kind review for the book over on Amazon (because that’s where most people search for books)…but then go ahead and buy from indie bookstores because they are the beating hearts of our communities.
THIS WEEKEND!
If you’re in Kingston this weekend, stop by the Long Season Farm table at the Kingston Farmer’s Market on Saturday — I’ll be there helping them sling vegetables for their biggest market day of the entire year!!! One of my favorite yearly traditions.
okay friends…talk soon! xooxoxoxo
My heart actually lifts every time I see this newsletter in my inbox. Just came here to say that :). So thanks Julia!!
Thank you so much for organizing the charts, the I Love Lunch etc.! I will certainly be using those ! Also, thank you for mentioning that this will work better on a computer than a phone. As your most technologically challenged student , I needed that .😍
