Fantastic interview, tantalizing book, and I am seriously so grateful to you both for using the word vegetable and not the ubiquitous and deeply annoying 'veggie.' Thank you! Funny how it stands out now when people use the whole grown-up word.

1) I stopped reading this about one question in to send myself an email putting this book on the list to get my husband for Christmas. (I keep an email folder labeled gifts and add to it through the year.) He is a can-never-have-too-many-cookbooks type and hopefully by then he will have a job that gives him more time to cook. I’m only worried that my mother will also have read something about it and want to get it for him.

2) That rage and joy of MAGA America piece is so good and such an important point. It’s going to stay with me, and it layers really helpfully on top of what’s been my observation, since the W Bush years, about my friends who subsequently became MAGA: for them, their political identity was a lot like their identity as Alabama or Auburn fans. This was their team and absolutely no discussion of policy would ever break through that. I might quibble with the framing of the bit on evangelicals, but in a “this is an interesting discussion” way, not in a vehement disagreement way.
