Ciao!

If you’re receiving this message, I’m already [hopefully] wheels down in Italy. I’ll be speaking on a panel at the International Journalism Festival in Perugia and then heading off on a two-week journey to see beautiful flowers and architecture, eating my weight in various meats and cheeses, and drinking all of the wine. 

Since I’ll be in Europe, I’m going to do as the Europeans do: close up shop and not work for the entire time. As a one-woman operation, that means there will be no new issues of The Handbasket from now through May 2nd. I understand that might be disappointing as a subscriber, but I hope you’ll understand that your incredible support (since 2022, and especially in the past year) have made it possible for me to feel comfortable taking a break. So thank you for this much-needed break.

As a little out of office treat, I’m offering 25% off an annual subscription to The Handbasket now through 5/2. If you’re not a paid subscriber already, now’s the time!

See you in May with more of the 100% independent, farm-to-table reporting that you love. 

And here are links to some of my favorite Handbaskets past to keep you company:
