Back in 2018, I wrote a platonic love letter to my married, gay ham purveyor for The New York Times. This past week, the absolutely wonderful Jenny Slate did a reading of my essay for the Modern Love podcast. It’s so exciting and surreal to hear someone else doing a reading of your own words. Listen until the end if you want to hear from my ham man himself.
I found the Soul of Canada!
and it's in the USA foods aisle at La Grande Epicerie.
Impromptu Thanksgiving
Invited 15 people to my home for an impromptu Thanksgiving. My butcher laughed in my face when I requested a turkey, large castrated rooster or even a big chicken. But Bon Marché came through with a mysterious piece of poultry the size of a toddler. It's a Thanksgiving Miracle of Miracles!
Bonus points for the head, feet and all the organs.
