A midwife with a magazine? Sign me up! Also, you’re saying all of the things that several friends have texted me this week. There is an unparalleled collective anxiety for sure. Staying present is the best we can do.

Yes! I agree, and I hear you. It's the best we can do, and we're all just doing our best right now. And I know--so amazing to have a midwife-run magazine. And Keely does such amazing work. I wrote about her here as well: https://www.jezebel.com/midwife-abortion-care-1850631246

These are my midwife colleagues! Helena, Michelle and Pat! We have all had leadership at ACNM. Amazing. I’m so grateful for your writing about nursing and midwifery. I need to meet Keely. Thanks.

Hi Sarah! I'm finally reading your Slow Cooker Cookbook, while a cranberry chutney from it simmers in my old Toastmaster 4-quarter slow cooker. I'm inspired to get a 6-quart device. but it looks like KitchenAid doesn't make one anymore. What's your next best recommendation for one that holds the right temperature and has intuitive programming?

(I don't love the idea of one with a nonstick coating.)

Thanks!

Hi Ilene! I hope the chutney came out well! I like and use this 6-quart version:

It isn't nonstick and has an optional temperature probe which is nice--but you don't ever have to use it and it works nicely either way. Hope that helps and take care!

Love your suggestion for AnyWay. Agree with how hard it is to give appropriate gifts for that age range!
