I'd love to credit whoever wrote this. No idea. But I'm 100% with its message. When I think of how the '80s ethos, "Greed is Good" has metastasized, it surprises and depresses me. Imagine having so many millions, hundred of millions, even billions & caring about nothing except your own vanity.

Big thanks to @katemcdermott.bsky.social for joining us on the pod last week! She recounts her pie whisperer origin story, we talk about geoduck pie (her fam's favorite), why you should be listening for the "sizzle-whump," and how to get the tallest and fluffiest meringue. tinyurl.com/ycys6jdb

Smartphone playing episode 44 of the Joy of Cooking Podcast. Headphones are nearby.

a VERY toasty lemon meringue pie. We got a little enthusiastic with the blowtorch.

Italian meringue on the tines of a stand mixer's whisk attachment. There's one tendril-like peak.

My DIL loves ginger so your recipe is now at the top of my list to make for Thanksgiving. And it thrills me to see Art of the Pie and Pie Camp on your shelves!

STAND UP STRONG We keep strong boundaries when we stand up strong. I think you will find it rather amusing how harp strings and drapery shears fit that bill and add a little levity to your day, too. #paperclips
