Happy New Year! You write a clarity and directness that is missing in a lot of other food writing. Looking forward to more this year!

Happy New Year, Brooks and family! Your newsletter is always a welcoming sight . . . And yes - your approach to "food" content, as well as every other topic, is exactly what this reader wants.

Thank you for your time and attention to detail.

Cheers to you and much more of "A Small and Simple Thing".
