It's been a *long* time since I've done anything with typesetting, but looking at fontsgeek it seems like the italic does space differently?

Is it possibly trying to treat it like a citation or footnote, making the size smaller?

hmmmm. I would have cooked the cranberries first, or used dried ones - will be interested to see how fresh uncooked ones work!

How far from city lights?

Apple and cabbage are a *wonderful* pairing. I cook them together all the time in the fall/winter with stuff from the farm share (have dead easy recipe if anyone wants).

I bet that sauerkraut is tasty!

Are you sure it wasn't "Massholes"?

Hmm. Looks like I have a stretch goal if I get back to the UK in 2026!

Some can also accept donations of home-grown produce! Granted it's late in the season for much of the US but if you're still growing you can check with your local pantry or find one via ampleharvest.org/find-pantry/ .

Oh, yeah (looks at prized brown sugar shortbread recipe)

Dislike store-bought artificial maple syrup, but when I was a child and we didn't have real on hand mom made her (southern) family's version: heat brown sugar, a little butter, and water in a pan until syrupy, then stir in some Mapleine (or Watkins if no Mapleine available).
