Please enjoy my Robin’s Koginut. Grew her from @row7seeds and it feels like I am about to slice and roast my own offspring. (at Brooklyn, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHobU7_h4bk/?igshid=1v1x2u333g13y

People have been asking for Douglas’ mom’s squash casserole recipe for a billion years. Happy to say it’s now right there in @foodandwine. Link in bio, fork in mouth. https://www.instagram.com/p/CHa1QiMBwWl/?igshid=1wromy573zo29

I keep meaning to share the sweet potato leaves I made the other night, from sweet potatoes I grew in Brooklyn. Here they are. No real recipe, just patience, caramelized onions, black vinegar, Aleppo pepper, salt, and bacon fat. https://www.instagram.com/p/CHO88qNhiee/?igshid=1c6yfast3ef0e

1998 me had a message for 2020 me. Apparently. #tbt https://www.instagram.com/p/CHMrBCLh6No/?igshid=am0ritfjmtfo

Look, it’s not a LOT of sweet potatoes, but they’re the ones I gree and I will never not be just tickled that I can do that in Brooklyn. They need to cure, but I am feasting on the leaves tonight. (Oh, and the variety is Diane Sweet Potato, which is definitely my new alias, along with Eustis Limequat. Which I am also growing.) #sweetpotatogram (at Brooklyn, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHBpgajBlj3/?igshid=1a761fcvv2c33

I figure I can manage a chain link scarf by Samhain. (And yes, I will close those jump rings more smoothly, don’t yell at me, @mimgray!) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGORGLTBcwx/?igshid=dkb40n4uikfm

Etrogim? I barely know him! My citrus obsession continues apace. https://www.instagram.com/p/CF2mEZXBSfA/?igshid=18ikrm0oeke5d

Same, Jing okra. Same. (at Brooklyn, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFsEmJuB17h/?igshid=8vun055ui8na

The great @arimillerx hauled his @frizwit cheesesteaks to Brooklyn to feed all of us scrubbing down @franciebrooklyn and basically, it counted as church. Best I’ve had in my life. #blamejohnwintermangram https://www.instagram.com/p/CFqIevFhSkx/?igshid=8wa05o7b39xi

I figure I’m gonna be spending enough time @franciebrooklyn when it opens, I might as well help @johnwinterman and @chefcipollone and crew clean it post-construction. It’s gonna be a dream, folks. #blamejohnwintermangram (at Williamsburg) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFqC9Bwh1Gx/?igshid=16jxx6bmdjqjc

First subway trip in 6 months after 24 years of not even thinking about it. Fairly unscathed. I’d say maskless dudes can bite me but I don’t want them that close. Did not plan the color match but also didn’t plan a lot of this. (at Brooklyn, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFiiKLEB8nF/?igshid=165frgqqzwqjq

I’d picked a few things from my garden this morning. Came into the kitchen to find @wagatrip had made us a new friend. https://www.instagram.com/p/CFF6foiBZ5g/?igshid=lw4vh3r297dc

It would have been my mother’s birthday today. It is her twin sister’s first birthday alone. The virus did not stop to inquire about her political affiliation before it took her life. Please take care of yourselves and one another so not one more person—or the people who love them—has to go through this anguish. #wearamask https://www.instagram.com/p/CEkaBj_hQez/?igshid=1sjlm243idya9

Been tweaking my pain de Campagne technique since the beginning of quarantine, starting with a Dorie Greenspan and Julia Child recipe, then saving levain for the next batch. I learn something each time, allow myself the grace of mistakes, and never waste anything. This is my best loaf yet, sour, close but not too dense, crackling crust. Next one might be a failure or maybe it won’t be. But I’m gonna keep on kneading. #paindecampagne #paindepatience https://www.instagram.com/p/CEXTiPcBDAj/?igshid=1k46dhrszof4a

I have been spending a lot of time in my weird little garden for the past few months and shout-out to okra for eternally producing the prettiest flowers in all the world. This variety is Jing Orange and she’s a beaut. (at Brooklyn, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CD67b_HhJyM/?igshid=k5ejy9fjdben
