Here's Your Cold Winter's Night Butternut Squash, Black Bean, and Cabbage Soup.

Plus: A Dud of a Cake, Homemade Sausage, and Lots of Links.

Hey Thursday friends,

Am I an important figure in the food world? Definitely not. When I go, all I’ll leave behind is an archive of old blog posts and newsletters, a few quirky cookbooks, and some barely watchable TikToks and Instagram Reels.

At least that was the case two days ago until I made this soup. Now everything’s changed! I’m the inventor of Butternut Squash, Black Bean, and Cabbage Soup. At least I think I am. Please don’t Google it.
