I did this last week! It’s so satisfying and does a good job preventing me from buying yet another teal crème

Francesca is great at this. Her last 3 campaigns have really highlighted the restaurant community (which really thrives in Madison!) and weaving into stories about fair pay, benefits, etc.

During my beit din, my rabbis and I discussed the power of choice. I always struggled with the frustration of being patrilineal, but there’s an interesting story of Judaism flourishing despite generations of assimilation.

Threading that needle between Samuel being able to be extremely competent but also a kid is so hard and I can’t believe how well it works!

His cameo in The Conversation delights me every time

It almost feels like a nod to The Frisco Kid; he’s been in the only two movies where a Yiddish/Pennsylvania Dutch conversation would ever occur

Samuel mistaking an Orthodox Jewish man for an Amish relative in the train station is such a good bit.

Nothing like visiting family where a snowstorm is expected and I’m worried about how hot my apartment is
