Hi Natalie. Glad to see you enjoying the French life! I don't have a spice recipe but I wanted to thank you for the two mini essays you opened with. I love Tomato on Board--probably my favorite chapter in Ross Gay's Book of delights. I've used it in classes many times. I hadn't read Naomi S. Nye's Gate A-4--thanks for sharing, love that too. I'm about to do some traveling which entails several flights. I would like to have a gate-waiting experience like hers!
Vadouvan which you can purchase at Savory Spice located in the Sellwood neighborhood of Portland. It’s a mild French curry that makes egg salad (and so many other things beyond yummy) truly enjoying Read.Write.Eat. Merci!
Your time in France sounds pretty perfect! I love roasted butternut squash (all winter squash, really) but my husband does not, so I end up with a lot of squash. One squash goes a long way.
my husband is addicted to trader joe's everything but the bagel. i seriously think he would melt down if we ran out! i am a huge fan of roasted butternut squash- by itself and in macaroni and cheese. it's one of my favorite food "discoveries" of the last twenty years right up there with roasted cauliflower.

Those are both the world I want to live in!! Ellen Bass has an airport poem/essay that I love as well: https://poets.org/poem/gate-c22

I’m making a note of this! Thank you. And thank you for reading the newsletter. xN
Oh yes! Greek Freak! Delicious on roasted veggies, salmon, and of course, lamb!
I haven’t tried it but I vote for Tig Notaro’s Dyke Dust
Sold on the name alone! And Tig of course!

True. But the Everything Bagel Spice could be a game changer!
Maybe! I will try!

Sounds delicious and your husband has good taste in all things! xN
