Hello, my name is Lola. Welcome to my experimental newsletter.

This newsletter is a food- and art-focused anthropology of the small universe I perceive around me. Towards that end, I share personal writing and projects as well as the work of people I’m close with. Don’t expect anything on the nose. This newsletter is a playground. This newsletter is a tasty soup.

I run a noodle business called Umi Organic in Portland, Oregon. I’m also writing a book called Group Living and Other Recipes, which will be published by Spiegel & Grau in August 2024.

Have a question or comment? You can reach me at lolammm at gmail.
