Hey friends,

Did you know Oregon ranks last in the country in terms of friendliness toward potlucks and other traditional home-cooked gatherings? Here’s an opportunity to work together and make good news by turning our state around.

It’s an election year, after all. Let’s make sure this kitchen-counter issue is on the minds of every candidate who’s running for office.

I’ve launched an effort to raise awareness with a column in the Daily Astorian. Please email me if the link below doesn’t work, or if the newspaper has already imposed their paywall.

Onward,
