What will you bring to the collapse of industrialized society?

In 2005, in New Orleans, while awaiting Hurricane Katrina, I collected all there perishables our friends bought to the house we would share during the storm. I assessed and cooked a giant pot of vegetables and sauce for pasta. I boiled eggs.

For the following months, I cooked for friends, I cooked at the bike shop where we spent most of our days. I turned our canned goods and non-perishables into one-pot wonders. Squeaky and I talked about how to make ice cream without refrigeration.

Yes I will be catering the apocalypse. I translated this survival skill to CSA cooking in a recent substack.

More experimenting with registration, and the most subtle background color as texture.

All while thinking about how I will miss straws and bubble baths.
