    If I see it again, I will have to unsubscribe. Weekly is too much. It’s bad etiquette to crowd my library with pushed content.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Green Spaghetti and Cowboy Candy: Pati Jinich Celebrates the “New” Mexican Cuisine
Q: Cowboy candy—how did you first encounter it and why does it matter to this borderland narrative?
It surfaced as a very Texas flavor, a macerated pepper treat that epitomizes how borderland flavors can arrive from one place yet find new life in another, becoming a personal favorite used in pizza, eggs, and sandwiches.
Green Spaghetti and Cowboy Candy: Pati Jinich Celebrates the “New” Mexican Cuisine
Q: What is frontera to you, and how does it differ from borderlands in terms of culinary identity?
Frontera represents a space of possibilities, openness, and cross-cultural exchange where techniques and ingredients collide and blend, creating resilient and innovative dishes that honor origins while embracing change.
Green Spaghetti and Cowboy Candy: Pati Jinich Celebrates the “New” Mexican Cuisine
Q: So when someone says Mexican cooking, is that really a thing or is it just a group of different recipes from different subcultures around that are actually pretty different than each other?
There is something to Mexican cooking understood as a mother cuisine that includes micro-regional variations, yet the borderlands bring evolution where recipes adapt and incorporate outside influences, enriching the whole without erasing origins.
The Lost Kitchen: Erin French Has 20,000 Restaurant Reservations in Freedom, Maine
Q: What is the reservation process for The Lost Kitchen?
Reservations are selected by sending postcards in April, and names are chosen by lottery, with about half of the 20,000 requests receiving a seat.
Crazy Love at 86: Bake-Off's Prue Leith Celebrates Being Old
Q: What is it you want people to know about being older that they might not realize?
Leith asserts that aging brings spare time and continued faculties, and that being old should not be framed as doom; instead, people can embrace life, travel, and joy, arguing that society should drop negative connotations attached to old age.
