Dear readers, this is my farewell column as the American-Statesman food writer.
On June 1, I ll hang up my apron, stack up the cookbooks and pass on the test kitchen gear to the next person to take on this life-changing position at Austin’s daily newspaper.
When I say, “Dear readers,” I mean it. From my first column in 2008 to today, the fine people who read this column in print with their coffee and via Facebook in the school pickup line have held an incredibly special place in my heart.
I have kept your business cards, your emails and screenshots of your direct messages on social media in my digital and physical archive. I still have a physical copy of (almost) every food section I’ve published. Because of your kindness and willingness to connect, my kids will have memories of being stopped in the grocery store by someone who tells me they love trying new recipes and reading stories in the food section.

Each year I get the urge, come spring, to read nonfiction books on varied topics to help dust off winter’s cobwebs in my brain and open room for new ideas.
This is my book-lover version of spring cleaning for the heart and soul. And, whew, did I need it as we enter year two of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Sometimes these are challenging books that stretch my thinking, and they usually touch on learning a new skill or broadening my understanding of work-life balance in some way. It sure is fun to dig in.

Writers/artists have adopted this form both to achieve a range of cognitive or symbolic effects and to focus on the social or political meanings of erasure. Erasure is a way to give an existing piece of writing a new set of meanings, questions, or suggestions. It lessens the trace of authorship but also draws attention to the original text. As with any allusion, interpretive questions include:
What is the attitude to the original work? Does a gesture celebrate, denigrate, subvert, or efface the source completely?
What is the process for selecting erasures? One can erase intuitively by focusing on musical and thematic elements or systematically by following a specific process regardless of the outcome.
