That sounds great! I’m making 2 cozy dishes- Pasta Rustica w/ chicken sausage and for old times sake, my son’s childhood favorite, Tuna Casserole! And a nice green salad with blue cheese. With copious amounts of Tito’s…
I'm extremely nervous myself, Liz. Living in Alabama as a gay man, surrounded by certain flags, sometimes I feel like I'm swimming in shark-infested waters and just realized I have a nosebleed. I'm not sure what Dan and I will have. One of my favorite comfort foods he makes is his version of chicken noodle soup, but with cheese tortellini instead of noodles. I might ask him to make that, now that I think about it 🙂 We have to keep going and stay strong! I'm voting first thing in the morning.
I absolutely love NOT WHILE I’M AROUND. Your Catalan version is breathtaking. And an apt song for how many of us are feeling. I made a gooey, cheesy baked pasta for tonight’s dinner, but tomorrow my son, Max, daughter, Emma, Emma’s husband, and some of her girlfriends will hunker down with us in our Brooklyn brownstone and eat pizza—more cheese!—, salad, and, if get my act together, Dorie Greenspan’s world peace cookies—something we sure could use right now. Sending my best to you and your family. Here’s to hope….
WOW...This sounds absolutely amazing. You may find it odd, but this was a song I sang to my beloved Shih Tzu, Rosco from the time we rescued him until the day he left us for the rainbow bridge. It seemed to calm him down and I cannot hear or sing it without crying. He was our angel. Thank You for sharing that...and I am looking forward to that Lullabye Album!
Thank you for this. Really struggling as an adult to understand, but more so trying to help my 16 year old son and 13 year old daughter (your San Francisco buddy Tatum says ‘hi’ 😁) process it. He is angry and disappointed yes, but for her….How will they not wonder how it is that no matter how intelligent, hardworking, well spoken, prepared, honest and heartfelt you are, you may still not be seen as good enough? Time to mourn for sure, but time to be good humans and move onward and upward. 💙 (And yes we do really need that lullaby album!)
Our comfort food last night was ribs and baked potatoes from a local joint -- no cooking for us after a day on the golf course (walking). Lovely newsletter - lovely song in Catalan. Not the outcome we wanted and sadly, sooooo many people just didn't vote (what's that about?)! Alas, we will persist and survive with all the hope and optimism we can muster!
Liz, your lovely rendition of “Not While I’m Around” is so comforting. I was fortunate to be able to hear you sing it live at your recent New Hampshire concert. A wonderful memory for me!
Thank you for helping my nerves. Your voice is always so beautiful and you chose the right song. The next thing I’m going to do is go for a walk.. Later I will order Massaman Curry with tofu. Then I will listen to the Excellent news that Harris is our next POTUS. ❤️
Lori and I are making Shrimp Scampi for dinner Tuesday night. That’s our comfort, with some wine, of course! Going to watch, wait and pray!
Can’t wait to try your recipes!
That sounds great-so happy you and Lori will be together!
Not While I’m Around, so beautiful, Liz!!! ❤️
Thanks, Jolene. I’m curious- what are you having for dinner tonight?
I have all manner of snacks, Liz! Cheeses, chips, olives, crackers, prosciutto and wine. And we may order a sausage pizza, too! 🤣 how about you?
Ha! Join the club!
😆

I’m losing it, Liz, you had all this deliciousness in your post, forgive me! 🤣 Tito’s! 👏👏👏

I can only imagine, Skylar. I think having cheese tortellini in your chicken soup would make it extra comforting. Hang in there!

Thanks, Susan. How wonderful you will all be together. Nothing is better than melted cheese in times like this. Here’s to hope!
Beautiful Spanish Sondheim :) And YES to Oscar’s optimistic lyrics!! I agree 100%
“I can’t, no I WON’T get it out of my heart …”
Thank you, Simon.
I'm going to try that Tuna Noodle Casserole! Thanks!

I love that you sang NWIA to your sweet doggie. I had a Shih Tzu growing up named Jenny- I loved her so.

Please say hi for Tatum for me. It’s so hard to for all of us to understand. But yes, we must keep going!
Listened to “The Essential Liz” this morning to bolster my spirits following yesterday’s news.
I hope it helped a little.
Dear Liz, your music always helps big time.
Thank you!

Yes, we will! ❤️
Please send more comfort.
I will, Steve. Who knows, maybe I’ll make that Lullabies for Grown-Ups album.
Lullabies for Grown-Ups? I love it!!! Every album should come with edibles and a nice soft blanket. I'll be number one on the waiting list.

Thanks, Bob!
Made the roast — overdone!

I love your optimism! Great idea to go for a walk- I’ll be walking to vote this afternoon.
Great post. Gorgeous song Thank you ! The recipes look delicious too 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏….
Thanks, B. But what about Oliver? He wants to know if you liked his photo. 😀
Very hopeful words Liz. Thank you. As someone recently said, I’m nauseously optimistic. Also, I loved your FB post. What to do about Theresa…💙💙💙💙💙
Right? XOXO
