On a rainy Easter Sunday a small group of us walked or ran and then gathered at 61C for a spirited conversation about food, girlhood, Girl Scouts, womanhood, parenthood, mother-in-law-hood.
Menstruation was a major topic. The misinformation. ("Tampons can get lost in your body.") The reality. (Cramps, blood stains on white skirts, giant sanitary napkins.) The elder(s) among us remembered the days before adhesive strips came on the market, when pads had tabs that attached to an elastic belt.
- In case anyone is wondering, Midol is still on the market. So is Pamprin.
- To get around town, check out Citymapper.
- Scone-haters might try the savory scones at Madeleine or the sweet ones at Five Points and maybe change their opinions. Or not.
- Comfort food in a cold world?
- Avocados. Mashed potatoes and gravy -- Virginia
- Scrambled eggs and toast -- Janet
- Buttered noodles -- Janey
- Oatmeal -- Wendy
- Macaroni and cheese -- Joanne
- Bread with a crispy crust
- Bread and butter
- Warm bread
- Good bread
- Bread with honey or almond butter.
Resistance actions of the week:
- Stop the War
- Remove Unfit President
- (or pick any of these)
This may seem hopeless, but each contact is recorded by staffers - numbers count! Brevity is fine - apparently they don't read our reasons.
2. Save the date: May Day (May 1) National Strike - try for no shopping, no work, no school, whatever you can. Numbers will count here even more.
