I feels like he's trying to force these two things together. It doesnt come across as truthful.
I’ve been a fan of Christopher Kimball’s Milk Street Radio for a while now, and it continues to impress me with its engaging content and diverse perspectives on food. https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/donut-boxery-5797756/episodes/the-role-of-donut-boxes-in-mar-218247941
I'm here from a golf podcast.
The advertisements have increased exponentially over the last couple years. Some of them growing to a length of 5 minutes! The podcast within a podcast format it would seem.
--pasta salad is trash--
That song about drones borrowed the Instrumental intro from Would You Lay With Me in a Field of Stone.
Re: Charging dinner guests. Reallt a variation on an old theme, perhaps. "Rent parties" were a part of 20th century American life, and not just in urban African American communities, as Britannica seems to believe. They were also found in more rural areas in the Midwest and were not unknown on then-rural Long Island, NY to help a farmer thru tough times, such as drought or the Great Depression as recounted by my neighbor (b. 1900) and my dad (b.1915). https://www.britannica.com/topic/rent-party
this was published 3 days ago but it is repeat. can you please.ease.put yhe date of recording so we can tell how old it is. much appreciated
I swear I've heard this session before. How can you tell when it first aired.
FF 9
Great episode
I did not know any of that about wild rice, thanks for the info
Sarah: how many cloves of garlic will you use? caller: 3-5 Sarah: it would be better to use the whole head. *proceeds to give not very functional solution. Why would you want to use the whole head of garlic if you only need 3-5? Wouldn't that overpower any dish? Sarah does that a lot.
I love this podcast show.
A fantastic and wondrous episode. Really enjoyed it!
"Cooking is a solitary experience" I relate to this so much. I rarely cook, but when I do, it's an odd, meditative experience
"Enslaved"
Greece was so pure in the early 70's it was under a military dictatorship. There was no freedom.
I have been putting ice in my wine for years. Why? I like it. It's nice to know I am not alone.
Thank you fot the inspiring interview with Michael Twitty. (I just bought his book)
