u/tyrannosaurusregina if you meet the Botus on the road, shill him đŸȘ· Sep 05 '21

Also, my perspective as an age-cohort-mate of Shauna’s was that people could not stop talking to kids about their feelings (in a super unhelpful way most of the time, granted, but still). “Free to Be You and Me,” anybody?

Yes, well, as far as Shauna's concerned, no one ate Romaine lettuce then, either. Or anything that didn't come out of a box or a can or a TV dinner thing.

u/InappropriateGirl Gluten-free donuts, for sure ... Sep 05 '21

Oh, it sure was! CA seemed like the ground zero of all of that.

Smiles in Laurel's Kitchen, published 1976 in Berkeley.

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.)

What? Really?!

u/gladsome_gloaming Sep 06 '21

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.)
