I made some herbal infused honey for the full moon and my rage. I was thinking of using it and my San Francisco sourdough starter a friend gave me to make a sweet focaccia. This recipe is right on time!

waiiiit, this sounds divine — share those photos when you do.

(okay, also headed to your Stack to see what you have to say about that scorp full moon because i feel like i'm shedding and starting anew in the area of personal power....)

I’ll definitely share the pics! I decided to combine your recipe and Roti Brown’s sweetcorn focaccia recipe. I prepped the corn earlier and almost fell to my knees when I tasted it with my honey lol! This is my first time trying focaccia with a sourdough starter, so fingers crossed 🤞🏾

I posted the recipe for my Sovereign’s Honey in my last post and after that full moon, I’m so glad I made it. I got so many downloads about anger and vulnerability and the honey helps the medicine go down a lil sweeter!

The continual disconnection from our roots (at every level of the figurative), plays out in a continuing loss of knowledge+practice about food and how to cook (develop) it. The deference to (corporatized) conveniences kinda takes away the value of slowkey...

Everytime I hear of migrant/aggro harvest workers/families going hungry or going out of pocket, WHILE food waste at retail passes 40%, makes me alarmed that they're aren't reserve programs, doled out from said harvest. Every 10 for retail, 1 for workers, even... But I get it - it's been bought already/is accounted for/is slated for retail sale...

Thank you for this! I can't remember the last time my fridge was full, if it ever was. Alongside a mountain of saved recipes that may or may not ever be made, the cultural language is emulating this current crisis.
