Thank you Jamie. Reading your post is like talking to an old friend. The recipe is so generous and looks amazing. Wishing you the happiest of Holidays. So grateful to know you and get to see you on Twitter, and here, and instagram....you are covering all "airwaves".....and we're the luckier for it...Here is to a Peaceful, loving, world...
Thank you for being here, there, everywhere. You are a true friend and what I love about twitter… having given me the chance to know you. Have a beautiful, warm, joyous holiday season 💜
Hi Jamie, love your first post! As someone who has also been on Twitter since 2009 I am sorry to see what it is devolving into. But I've made a concerted effort to seriously curate my feed and refuse to rely on the outrage algorithm. I refuse to be chased away!
I adore your recipe posts, especially when you include the history of the food you're featuring. And I appreciate deeply the feelings you express in both your frustrations and comments on the political scene, and respect your remarks re: Twitter/X. If it weren't for the few people I treasure hearing from, I'd had left long ago but I have a fairly well curated newsfeed there, and for the most part only hear from people I follow and trust. Thank you for staying.
So delighted to be subscribed to your newsletter! It’s so thoughtful! I miss all of my Twitter friends so much, despite being at personal enmity with the platform, and it’s new owner. I absolutely love your writing, and recipes! <3
I have a nice long loaf pan that my dear mom gave to me so many years ago. I'm going to make this spicy bread for our holiday family meal. Thank you for sharing it.
Welcome to Substack, Jamie! I'm well in to my second year of publishing here and love it. Hopefully you will find the community here warm and welcoming. We have a once a month food writer get together and if you are interested in taking part, let me know. I think we still have emails for each other. Happy Solstice! Kate
Lovely first newsletter, Jamie! So glad you decided to write about Twitter. I'm only a few years in, so it's heartening to read of the healthier happier times for folks creating communities without too much negativity in the Before times. Even so, I'm beyond grateful for finding uplifting, generous, & fascinating peeps like you! Many blessings to you & yours ❣️
I did find you on Twitter! And years later, I ended up visiting Chinon and tasting some of your incomparably delicious ananas et oranges jam! I will always be grateful for the experiences that resulted from my joining Twitter, the books I ended up reading that I saw recommended there, the very educational and enlightening conversations I happened upon there, the news and science that I could always follow there without any of the noise that plagues the other platforms, and so much more! While our little blue bird is going through some stuff, I don't want to part with it yet. Meanwhile, I am happy to be here too. Thank you for sharing so much with us!
OH and I definitely look forward to trying this recipe for the holidays this year, you had me at ALL the spices :))))
Yes, indeed! There are so many of us who feel this way and pray the ship arights and gets back on course. Thank you so much for your comment and for joining me here!
Hi Jamie, can't wait to try your recipe! I'm a big fan of pain d'épices but have never made it myself. Think I will try it for new years! Wishing you a peaceful new year.
Lovely newsletter. And thank you for the recipe - it looks fabulous. Enjoy your time off during the holidays! Give lots of cuddles to your granddaughter!
