On this episode we touch on some topics that aren’t necessarily typical for us, like Melanie’s recent revelation about her dogs’ theme songs and my recent theory about a vegetable that I believe to be on the come-up in the roasted vegetable world. As you might expect, this led to a discussion about the vegetables and/or fruit that have risen to culinary prominence over the last several years, and I don’t know, maybe Melanie and I need some new hobbies.
We also talk about Melanie’s thoughts on The Gilded Age, and it’s my turn for Five Favorites.

Kris Kristoferson actually wrote Me and Bobby McGee. It’s one of the most recorded songs ever.
I just put that book on hold at the library – I can’t wait to read it! As for radishes… Our neighbor brought the best appetizer over a couple of years ago on Christmas Eve and now we request it every year. It is a sliced, toasted baguette, very good butter, very thinly sliced radishes, and flaked sea salt. As a guest, you assemble your own serving… I know it sounds like the strangest combination of ingredients but it is so, so good. I think it would be a very “summery” appetizer or something to put on a summer charcuterie tray. The slicing them, roasting them, and then put them in the air fryer seems like a whole lot of work :/
The roasted/cooked radish thing is true! I’m not a fan of radishes. I can eat them if they’re sliced in a salad but not my favorite. A teacher friend made Olive Garden’s Zuppa Toscana and used radishes instead of potatoes (low carb recipe) and IT WAS AMAZING. I could not believe it!
Love your podcasts. Now have my daughter hooked on them. When we’re together on a long trip, we always put some of the back posts on so she can catch up. In this week’s post you talked about the high collar fashion. Looks like it has been deleted from twitter??
