How Nonna Was My Week?
Let me show you what the last two weeks have been like:
All-in-all an incredible 11 days. On the Nonnameter scale of 1 to 5, this week gets a full 5 Nonnas!

This week’s Company’s Coming! guest is my dear friend Andrew Reiter! You may know Andrew as the fabulous author of
here on Substack, where he writes about birds specifically and nature in general.Was I concerned when I learned that he had two rescue pigeons who live with him in his apartment? Yes.
Did he thoughtfully explain his love of and appreciation for pigeons in such a way that made me care deeply about them and their wellbeing? Absolutely.
This week Andrew’s writing about how isolated he’s felt from cooking for most of his adult life. He traces this aversion back to his childhood exclusion from the kitchen and the strictures that were enforced around the dinner table, and how it was only with the purchase of a wonderfully kitschy 3.8 quart pot that he began to find the joy of cooking again. I can’t wait to share it with you all.
