You know, it feels like we haven't asked each other "So, how are you doing? Really?" in a bit, and we're taking this podcast as an opportunity to do that. We get into pandemic socializing, news-consumption, and soup-making. Recommended pairing for this ep: a walk.

A couple NYC-specific food things helping us get by: Pierless Fish for seafood and For All Things Good for masa for Claire's taco nights.

Chris's new desk, and Thomas's recent read Hate Inc. that's informing Erica's media consumption.

The gray-on-gray-on-gray Birkenstock shearling clogs Claire scored, and the Hobonichi planner that's keeping Erica's 2021 mood up.

It's (coconut-milk) soup weather, ok? Erica's making coconut curry noodle soup from The Woks of Life, coconut corn soup from Smitten Kitchen, and curried lentil, tomato, coconut soup by Yotam Ottolenghi.

For running in the cold, Claire recommends a Patagonia down hoody and neck gaiter, a Uniqlo down vest, and Yaktrax for snow/ice. Also, The Strategist has a good guide by temp, and Runner's World will give you gearing-up recs based on the conditions.

For more of this sort of thing, do you know about Secret Menu?
