Imagine you’re browsing the isles of a bookstore, looking for a book on how to train your new dog. The dust cover has a photograph of a cute puppy with big eyes and the author pictured on the back seems experienced and knowledgeable on all things canine. You buy the book and arrive home, excited to begin training, only to realize there’s been a terrible mistake. Not only is this not a book about training dogs, it’s not a book about training anything! It’s a cookbook telling you how to make the perfect curry dish. In this episode, I chat with Michelle about her experience living in the south after growing up in Upstate New York, what it’s like to date as an Asian-looking woman, and the general idea of, “don’t judge a book by it’s cover”.
