    Bryan also has a mailing list (I’ve been subscribed for many moons). Here’s the latest newsletter: https://gallery.mailchimp.com/0a4e39a3e22e7f40ffc2aa4b2/files/FTTE_2016_October.pdf (I think that should work for people who are not me)

    You can sign up here: https://ftte.us/
    And more on Bryan: https://bryanalexander.org/

    If you subscribe to the list, he may contact you, and even begin some conversation (we had a nice ‘chat’ via email when I subscribed).

    And yes, it is often frustrating when we can’t use new/different/many baskets for our eggs.
