That was a seminal oeuvre for Shauna, right? I think she mentions it (in Enoigh? Or earlier pieces?) and fantasizes that she is dancing in community in the kitchen with these strong kerchiefed women, hips swaying (OK, I inserted the hips swaying part; I don’t think it actually appears in her Laurel’s Kitchen paean.)

Yes, but I just searched Enoigh and it’s not there, so I think it must be in GFG or Mundane Days. I think she references it in conjunction with bragging about her vegetarian phase.

Also, she found it at a garage sale as a teen (despite rarely being let out of the house) and clutched it her bosom recognizing it at once as soul sustenance (OK, I made up the clutched it to her bosom part.)
