  • 3 - Thai Salad with Grapefruit and Cashews

    In which I make Meera Sodha’s Thai Salad with Grapefruit and Cashews from her cookbook East.

    I also:

    Get all Marie-Kondo on my own ass; become a little uptight (Big Neurotic Dilemma) about whether or not to buy a bag of KTC Crispy Fried Onions; do some research on how much perfectly edible food we throw away every year; plot with my brother about how to get this podcast in Meera Sodha's ears; enjoy a few precious, precious moments with a tiny baby named after a weasle-faced Romanian Rapper; throw in a bit of Borges just to show you how meta- and all-round cultured I am (in a quasi-sexy way?); ditto the  mention of Ozu's Tokyo Story; invent my own taxonomy for Crap We Keep In One (Or  All) Of Our Kitchen Drawers; throw in a few extras through the credits to boost my Google ratings.
