Join us for a fun chat about food, friends, and the kind of warmth gathering brings. Big ups to the marshmallow game, bloomin’ onions, and dolls inside cakes.
TW: This episode is entirely about food. We do not talk about negative relationships with food or food disorders. We do not discuss food disparity, shortage, or supply chain problems. We have shared some links below to ways you can help with food shortage this holiday season and always. We know there is privilege in talking about food in a celebratory way and recognize that this episode might not be for everyone.

Candi and Noodle, two relatively put together humans who want very much talk about all of the things humans are not supposed to talk about. Candi is the owner of Candi Presents, bringing content of all kinds to the universe. Noodle is the head editor and owner of Be Write and the biggest of bookworms. Together, they do their best to learn, grow, and figure out how two make the world a better place, one curse-word filled conversation at a time.
