"I let the tree outside my window be enough of a cathedral."

Speaking of cathedral, see David Bennett's @Nunya Bidness excellent developing Cathedral series as a templete for regenerative agriculture and more things regen. We have to imagine or think it first in order to build it. Let's just say its low time preference for a multi-generational and regenerative (agri)culture.

Worms (vermiculture), sprouts and laughter yoga. Amazing, inspiring conversation. Guest Cathy Nesbitt had many great stories to share.
Thank you @Havok and Lx.

Biochar is a good one to pair with vermiculture. I occasionally give my chooks (the more common word for chickens in Australia) a worm treat.
How many harvests, uses or cascades can we get?!

Also looking forward to the release of the full interview with @Constant about Nostr!

Sure, I have no doubt something along those lines is happening. It doesn’t take away from the points I made about France’s approach to neocolonialism.

What do you bring when someone needs a meal? A new baby. A move. A hard week. The dish that travels, reheats, and says what you didn't know how to say.

"...says what you didn't know how to say."
I like that. I have often not known what to say in difficult moments--other than witnessing and accompanying another. It is brilliant that bringing food to that person and situation can silently help. Kind of like how sharing a fire (campfire, bonfire) together breaks the ice, can speak for/to us and acts as a social lubricant and spectacle.
Thanks for opening this up to me.

A few things that travel well to a potluck: Dishes that taste good at room temperature, like grain salads, roasted vegetables, or a vinegar-dressed potato salad. Anything that holds in a slow cooker:...

I have at times done the card thing explaining what my potluck item is and what the ingredients are--both to let the "fussy" or allergic people know, though also for those with curiosity and who might want to try or adapt what they see (and taste) to their own cooking.

These are great ideas and hints because i have often DREADED even going to potlucks--partially because i didn't know what to bring that would be tasty, enjoyable and appreciated or worried that my dish was not going to be a 'heavy lifter'. I guess i counted more on the luck part of potluck than bringing a good pot(ful) (of food)!

Thank you for this and the other little useful nuggets around food preparation you post on ZapCooking. I could say it is a sort of mini cooking pattern language--a la Christopher Alexander, author of the excellent book triology which includes "A Pattern Language". Some recent examples of this would be:
cook onions slowly at a low temperature;
the relationship between searing x juicyness of steaks;
oils as a (better) carrier of spices.
