Long post alert. Bear with me and please read. Don’t worry, I’m not closing.
It’s no secret that things are tough right now for many, myself included, and it’s only going to get worse as the pandemic rages on. The restaurant community in KC has suffered some major losses but has also shown an enormous amount of generosity. I’m an outlier in that community but I’ve followed the developments very closely.
Several restaurants have worked hard to make sure people stayed fed. My family benefitted greatly from Waldo Thai’s free meals for the service industry. In those early days we didn’t know what was going to happen or where our next meal was coming from, and knowing that there was some rice, meat & veg to feed ourselves and our kids allowed us to focus a little more clearly on survival.
I’ve wanted to return the favor by helping others but have struggled to justify the expense since we’re not even remotely solvent. Several recent events have forced me to focus on what I DO have and reminded me that as little as I have, there’s always someone who has less. As hard as I’m struggling, there’s always someone with greater struggles. It sucks to be a service industry employee right now. The theater and live music communities are facing desperate futures. Doctors, nurses and hospital support staff are overwhelmed as are teachers and all of the people fighting to provide some sort of education for our kids. It’s hard as hell to be a parent right now. Parents with new babies at home are more isolated than ever. So many people are looking for a job that pays the bills but doesn’t put them in harms way, which is a virtually impossible combination.
My point is…as bad as things still are for me, I can afford to feed at least one person or family a week. Inspired by Waldo Thai’s new initiative I will provide at least one family meal a week. If you would like to make donations to the fund I can provide more.
Please submit your name or the name of someone you think would benefit. Send the information to my email or via text. No explanation of circumstances is necessary and names will be kept confidential unless the individual(s) choose to make it public. Names will go into a hat and will be pulled out on Monday. Any name not pulled for the week will stay in the hat. I will then contact the person to arrange an appropriate menu and pickup or delivery. I will pull the first name this next Monday.
It’s not much I know, but I hope it can take the edge off of someone’s hunger or anxiety, at least for the length of a meal.
Much love to you all, Annie & George 🧿

I loved our old biscuits, but the way we have to operate now does allow us to offer things that wouldn’t work before. This is a different kind of biscuit…the kind that makes the best breakfast sandwiches.

Holidays 2020
I know Christmas isn’t the only thing going this month. Hanukkah starts later this week and Kwanzaa starts on the 26th.
I grew up celebrating Christmas, which for the last almost 40 years, meant the Christmas Eve Open House my mom hosted. As I got older I helped more and for the last 10-15 years you could say we co-hosted it. We cooked and baked for a month and filled the dining room table with goodies. It had become such an event that invitations were no longer required and it was often the one time a year we were able to see and catch up with a lot of these folks.
With everything that went into hosting this it generally meant that Christmas Day was spent lazing around and eating leftovers. Sometimes we went to my uncles house for dinner, frequently we went out for Chinese or Mexican.
The Christmas Eve Open House isn’t happening this year thanks to covid and I’m already receiving requests for Christmas dinner. I’ve put together a menu and will post it soon, but I wanted to acknowledge the other celebrations this month.
I strive to be inclusive in all things but I don’t want to inadvertently mis-step or appropriate traditions that aren’t mine. If you celebrate Hanukkah or Kwanzaa and would like me to make something, please feel free to reach out. I’m always excited to expand my repertoire and by extension expanding the cultural & flavor experience of my customers.
The holiday season is rich with history and tradition, religious and otherwise. I look forward to sharing mine with you and I hope you’ll share yours with me!
