In this episode, Janaki and Sara make Argentine empanadas & a Haitian dish, djon djon, with two of their friends, Mahalia Smith & Ilona De Heusch.  They talk about how food has shaped their anywhere-but-home experiences, with Mahalia being China-born but US-raised with stints living in China, Tanzania, and Argentina, and Ilona being a Haitian international student in the US. Join them as they talk about their favorite comfort foods, the role food played in their daily lives everywhere they lived, and hear about eating scorpions & llama meat for the first time. Artwork by Emily Recko.  Produced by Jillian Chilingerian, Olivia Osborne, Emily Venezky, Jess Makler, Isa Delpino, and Jack Mitcheltree.  Soundtrack by Jess Makler.
