I want to talk to everyone about a decision each of us will be called on to make on Tuesday, November 5, 2024. A decision so powerful it could change the course of our very existence and the direction of our country. This is a pivotal moment, and your role in it cannot be overstated.
Over the last month, the conversation about the impending election has flooded our airways. It has reached a fever pitch, and I don’t see it ending anytime soon. Do you?
Discussions are being had all across the country—we are being bombarded on all sides by the various news media outlets—CNN, Fox, MSNBC, and others. It’s being dissected, piece by minute piece, on all the social media sites. Conversations are being held in our homes around the dinner table. In our neighborhoods at the corner grocery store. In our places of worship as we fellowship with our fellow parishioners. And in our places of employment over lunch or during meetings with our fellow coworkers. In short, over the next several months, there will be no escaping this critically important discussion and America and Americans’ decision—do we embrace democracy or bow down to anarchy?
The question on everyone’s mind is who will be the next president of America, and, more importantly, what do we want our country to look like during the remainder of our lifetime, and our children’s and grandchildren’s lifetimes?
Mass media is putting its spin on who they believe will be and/or should be the next president, but it’s not their decision to make. It’s ours and I’m asking all of you to make up your own minds. Follow your hearts and your conscious. It’s not enough to just seek out the truth…you also have to tune out the hateful rhetoric and ignore the fearmongers’ countless tales that herald a vision of gloom, doom, and despair.
I’m not here to add to the endless litany of woe being promulgated by too many thinktanks masquerading as experts. I’m here to advocate for something that isn’t being discussed as much as it should be. I hope you will stay tuned to hear me out.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
