Serveware from Target
About two months ago, I was at Target, and they had all this serveware on clearance. Now that I have a food-related business, even though I really have enough serveware, it’s impressive how easily I can convince myself that South Asian-ish serveware is a legitimate business expense and I could really use a little more.

Marshmallows for Mother’s Day
Marshmallows for the Mother’s Day treat packages — passionfruit, vanilla, and rose. I think I’ll have five of these in each package, in one of those long clear sleeves.

Podcast Questions
Okay, so I have podcast questions: a) If I use Zoom to have a conversation with Benjamin Rosenbaum, and set it to record, is it possible / easy / straightforward to strip out the audio track for a podcast, or should I record that separately at the same time? b) Is it silly to even try
