Buckle up, bandits, it's the season finale of Highly Enthused! We're dipping back into some golden oldies this week in terms of TV, Books and Nail Tech, but we're also testing new ways to spice up omelettes and we're thinking a lot about ambition and what that word even means rn.

This week our pasta is neon, our bread is savoury and our citrus is tart and juicy.  We've got a movie that focuses on the messy middle part of growing up, slippery rice noodles, a yoga studio that hums and SoMo's ongoing quest for the perfect pair of undies. Come along for the ride!

This week we're not basic and boring, we're functional and beautiful! We've got toddler fatigue, yes, but we also have two delicious, fragrant bowls of noodles, a salty seaweed snack and fish sauce so good you can use it in salad dressings. For non-food content we've got you covered with a television show to make you feel things and one, lovely very nice book.

It's our surprise Season 5 Finale!! This year was a marathon not a sprint, and we decided to give ourselves a bit of a pre-Christmas early mark. To send us off we've got lots of lovely things scattered in amongst an awful lot of **feelings**. Creamy, chewy noodles! Kitchen robots! Oscar Isaac with sizzling chemistry! Potent bottled cocktails with punch! A secret bar that feels like time travel!

Guys, it's ep 13(!), we are in our longest season of all time, but we're not caving in yet! We have lots to say! Lots about letting onions turn deeply sweet and brown, lots about film, a random cleaning tip you'll probs be impressed by, gifts that feel good, an umami bomb condiment, and a few spatterings about that thing we love to see, the tangles of female friendship in books and on screen.
