Making Conversation

Y'all...this episode is delish!

Jen was joined by the wonderful Chef Andreya Nightingale and they make a great spread that you can make along with us to practice for your next gathering with family, friends, or your next making circle. (...Or just eat it as you listen, because it can also be the perfect snack!)

While they make yummy food and accidental asmr, they also talk about a bunch of food-related things from accessibility to gardening.

So grab the ingredients listed below, join your Making besties, and get ready to make something yummy!
