A Thing Or Two We’re Doing Besides Holiday-Meal Prepping
This week on the podcast: our favorite expat Jamie Beck, whose incredible book An American in Provence is out tomorrow and whose Thingies are delightfully on-brand. Also, as we’re heading into the holidays, oooh, do we have some Secret Menu goodness up our sleeves. If you want in, November new-member subscription money goes to HIAS, a Jewish American nonprofit that aids refugees of all religions, ethnicities, and nationalities.
