Thank you for this, it's the best thing to freshen up my appreciation of the written word (no A.I.!) in quite some time. I like the collaborative effort, the muti-part media framing and the (urban) pressure to find one's place of relevance. Nice work, Jen!

This is beautiful, Jen! Fennel (finocchio) was very big with my Sicilian grandfather and it would appear constantly at my grandparents’ house with the fruit and the nuts. Did not really know what it was when I was a child!!

so cool! I don't think I ever ate or was aware of fennel in any way until my 20's. And now it is something I adore.
