Excuse My Grandma

Kim and Grandma Gail sit down with Jamie Milne, the creator of @everything_delish, to talk about modern hosting, family recipes, and why a gathering does not need to be perfect to be memorable. Jamie shares the influence her grandmothers had on her cooking, what makes a great dinner party, and how social media has changed the way we think about food, entertaining, and aesthetics.

They also get into grocery shopping habits, whether guests should take off their shoes, cooking for a picky partner, balancing work and motherhood, and why the host should actually be able to enjoy the party.

Plus, Jamie shares details from her upcoming cookbook, Everything Delish (preorder on Amazon).

In this Father’s Day episode of Excuse My Grandma, Kim and Grandma Gail reflect on the dads, grandfathers, and father figures who shape our lives. They start with the lighter side of the holiday, from Knicks merch and dad jokes to Poppy’s Waze obsession and the classic things all dads seem to do.

Then, Kim and Grandma are joined by Matt Fogelson, author of Restrung: Fatherhood in a Different Key, for a deeper conversation about grief, fatherhood, complicated parent relationships, and what it means to carry someone’s memory forward. Matt shares how losing his father, becoming a father himself, and finding healing through music helped him understand his past while choosing a different future.

This episode is a reminder that Father’s Day can be joyful, funny, emotional, and complicated all at once.
