Made me smile to hear you went to Dave's Hot Chicken in LA. Next time, try the NOT hot chicken -- the fried cauliflower. It's a must whenever we go to Dave's now. Would love to hear your take. Thank you!

Oh I’ll definitely try! I was actually at one in Albany but I think they all have the same menu??

I’m making the Swedish meatballs tomorrow from your book, to get my family in the mood for our upcoming trip to Stockholm. Should I follow your recipe for the sauce or improvise as you mentioned in this newsletter? Which is best? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Thanks for your thoughts, I’ll figure it out tomorrow, I’m sure the meatballs will be delicious, regardless! Stockholm & Oslo in June, lots of sun! ☀️

A pull up! WOW! My strength goal is one smooth push up. I have realized recently from some PT and tennis lessons (omg tennis is so fun!) that my arms are truly wonky and it may be why push ups are a struggle but I won’t stop.

I have so many thoughts around strength training and I feel like this would be a great beer and chips convo with you!

This is a late comment on this post, but I wanted to place it here since you mention filling in at the WaPo. I had saved your recipe for turkey meatloaf with sweet potatoes from the Washington Post last year, and I finally made it last night. It’s just delicious! My husband and I loved every bite. I was thinking about the leftovers when I woke up this morning. Thank you for yet another glorious recipe, Julia! ❤️
