Listener Q&A

You all submitted a wide variety of questions, and we loved answering them. If you sent in a question, but didn’t hear it, it was probably so meaty that we’re saving it for it’s own episode later on. Thank you for being such great listeners!

Eating lately

Abby has been making root beer floats, and Sarah made a two-layer chocolate cake for E’s birthday.

Novelty and progress

We share how we feel about novelty and progress, where we most enjoy them in our lives, where we prefer the comfort of the familiar, and how our thoughts have changed over time.

Eating lately

Sarah fancied-up her easy enchilada recipe (but still uses this enchilada sauce).
