The news is in: We have traded a secure financial future for a warm and sunny October.

The vegetables don’t seem to be troubled at all, and I’ll doubt we’ll hear much of any complaints from the flatbreads this week.

Just writing to announce new classes have been posted on the website, and recipes from last week’s Lebanese feast and this weeks world-stuffed-flatbread-tour should be available (enshallah!) tomorrow on the website. We will be making Papusas (El Salvador), Aloo Parotha (India), and Empanadas (Argentina) tonight.

There is still one spot available, so if you know a hungry child with a free afternoon, here or she can sign up by emailing me. And, as the newspaper buzz has faded to a dull roar in the background, classes are no longer filling up immediately! Which is a blessing for those — who like myself — like not to plan so far in advance. So please let your friends know we still have many classes left, and sign up by sending me an email or a phone call at
