US farmers sold $2 billion of food to USAID. Not any more. - US farmers provided 41% of food delivered by USAID - $340M of purchases/shipments are now paused. Over 680,000 tonnes. - Food stranded in Houston - Aid stopped in transit. The world’s poor starving, food rotting & US farmers screwed.

just checked @luisaweiss.bsky.social’s new book out from the library and i am SO excited to cook with it! trying to be more judicious about my ever-expanding #cookbook shelf but this feels like one to own. #foodsky #germancooking 🍽️

These are the cookbooks I am currently reading: @oliahercules.bsky.social Home Food, @luisaweiss.bsky.social Classic German Cooking & Alice Zaslavsky’s Better Cooking. I use Olia’s recipes to make Ukrainian food for my BF, who especially misses his late Mom’s varenyky & her vushka in borshch. 💙💛

My first question: is Twitter Nicole here?
