Muppet Christmas Carol is a favorite of mine too! For all the same reasons. Thanks for the rally cry to feel my anger. It's waking me up and I keep trying to subdue it. Chopping through it sounds perfect. Absolutely fucking perfect.
Michelle, you used that baseball bat to hit another essay out of the park!
I think you’ve explained why I feel out of sorts. A feeling of something’s not right and questioning why some people are acting the way they do. So let’s start cooking up some soup and sharing it and some kindness with others.
Smashing cars? But what kind of car is it? Could be a clue.
Oh, I get what you're saying. The anger is right below the surface, simmering and bubbling,
Once I learned the guy who was shot was a CEO of a health insurance company, I wasn't surprised in the least. I've been wondering who's going to be next.
So true, I am spending a few days organizing my pantry, having invested in a ton of mason jars, and finding that having ingredients all safe and sound and ready to roll makes the whole home made cooking thing easier. Today I am making chimichurri and sunflower cookies, and some mushroom soup with potatoes and cabbage. I may even make a batch of beans, probably white beans. Tomorrow, refrigerator potato bread dough, gotta veganize it. I just feel the only way I can get through January is to express that veganuary can be a new lifestyle for people who realize eating animal foods is unhealthy and so bad for the environment… and is the least expensive way to eat if you make your win chickless nuggets. That is next on my agenda, using your recipe, Michelle. Best wishes for a lovely holiday!
Michelle, I’ve been trying a refocusing technique to help me fall asleep on nights when I can’t turn my brain off. Think of a word, then a word that begins with the last letter of that word and so on. Sometimes I’ll do a category like food words or colors or nature words… if I can’t think of one right away I’ll just drop it and start over
Also, I enjoyed your thoughts on A Christmas Carol. I just saw that there is a movie from 2017 called The Man Who Invented Christmas. Have you seen that one? I’ll be checking it out this weekend.
I love your essays -- this coming from a retired newspaper editor who's read a lot of good columnists. Thank you and Merry Christmas Michelle, Kyria and all of the Pot Heads!

Fuck yeah! Another phenomenal essay. Hoping that someday soon, the Scrooges of the world receive some fucking karma.
Thank you Lisa!

Well said. Keep on keeping on, it's the only way to beat them.
