Keep Your Money Close

a quick reminder and a hot hot deal

just a handful of all the great Stir the Pot recipes from this year

Hey my sweet Pot Heads,

I just wanted to reach out and wish you a very happy Cooking Olympics aka Thanksgiving here in the US. I will be standing by all week to answer any last minute cooking questions or emergency substitutions you might make as chaos descends on all of our kitchens. If you are thinking about spending the rest of your weekend shopping for a bunch of stuff that will break within the next year, let me encourage you to reconsider. Our consumer culture is hurting us, the environment, and is making the rich even richer. I wrote all about it at the beginning of this year and, um, things have not improved.

Can't Spell Consumers w/o Con

This doesn’t mean you have to go giftless this year. I’m not a full Grinch. Just consider keeping more of your money safely at home and spend what you want on gifts that keep wealth in your community- or at the very least don’t line the pockets of billionaires who are making life harder on the rest of us.

Don’t know what to give? Consider sending someone a gift subscription to Stir the Pot. Until December 10, I will be running a promotion on annual subscriptions so if you’ve been waiting to get on the list, now is the time. Get 20% an annual subscription to Stir the Pot for yourself or someone you love just by clicking the link below. Becoming a paid subscriber not only supports me and my work, but it also gets you lots of perks too. Paid subscribers get brand new recipes each month, a free membership to

The Supper Book Club

, discounts on all Meal Managers, answers to any and all cooking questions within 48 hours, occasional giveaways in the mail, and access to our great subscriber chat. Honestly, the chat is so much fun and has turned into one of my favorite places on the whole internet. Come join us and you’ll see.

Thank you again for spending your time here with me each week. I appreciate each and every one of you. Have a question? Need some help? Drop a comment below or send me an email. I’m around.

xoxo,

Michelle
