October 2021
Wow! I was so excited to present on Chef AJ Live. I had no idea it would lead me to make new friends, too. I’m honored, and look forward to getting to know you better.
I’m working to schedule more cooking classes. Alas, Airsubs, the online platform hosting some of my virtual cooking classes, has announced it’s closing up shop at the end of the year. Please hang in there as I find another virtual home. In fact, please hang in there, period. Take good care of yourselves. You know how I worry.
October is Vegetarian Awareness Month.
October is also Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Potcake says to remind you it’s Adopt a Shelter Dog Month, too.
