#8 Spring 2022

#8 is here!

In this issue, we set out another feast; Digest allows the reader to spring into the hopeful warmer months, one foot still assuredly planted on the firm ground of the old ways. Claire Harnenz reflects on her Wisconsin youth while drinking her way through midwest-themed NYC bars. Jacob Fidonten takes us along for the day with Aaron Waters, a butcher who travels from farm to farm in Eastern Pennsylvania, processing animals in the old way. And Charisse Ledres, a world away from her home country, finds a surrogate Filipino aunty cooking up homestyle pinoy cuisine in a tiny town in the southern Catskills. Suzi Parrasch continues to honor the divine feminine, allowing us to step into her kitchen once more, to learn how she makes her ninety-five-year-old mom her favorite birthday cake during the Passover season.
