When my son was born, a friend gifted us the book subscription from Dolly. He's now 3.5 and still gets so excited when a new book arrives in the mail. It's seriously the best.
OMG, no but that's how I found out about the show! I saw a pic of her on the Armchair Instagram. I'm about to start season 4 and THEN I want to listen when I'm finished...I bet her interview was amazing...love her!
i’m so glad you asked! I have some thoughts. My favorite was the chocolate crème pie, which was a huge surprise - I would’ve usually leaned towards the Dolly dazzler. IMO with any fruit based dessert that doesn’t have little chunks of fruit in never tastes quite like the actual fruit. In saying that, the Dolly Dazzler is probably my 2nd fave, mainly because it’s pink, but also, it’s strawberry reminiscent, and I’m a sucker for anything strawberry and chocolate. The banana pudding pie is reallllyyyy sweet but there’s def an audience for it! The peachy keen cobbler was probably my least favorite, mainly because if anything has the words peach and cobbler my expectations raise dramatically and this… didn’t quite meet them.
cannot let the visor-bashing stand: I LOVE all visors equally and will die on this hill! no hat is better for keeping hair off your face, staying on securely, and allowing your head to breathe...
"Visor-shopping" 🤣 I have been wearing the same faded blue visor at the beach for over 20 years and I get new ones for tennis each year at my local club 😉🎾
love the link about kitchens - when i moved into my house I thought I'd gut it but more and more, I am like this doesn't need it.
You should post a kitchen tour!! I'd love to see inside yours (esp since I imagine you spend a lot of time in it.)
i've been wanting to do a pantry/kitchen/etc post because i've seen some good ones on substack! and i love the pantry item lists in cookbooks.
Same same!
This is a good reminder to finally make a panzanella salad
I don't want to speak for Mike/Kim but it seems QUITE easy.

Couples Therapy and Hacks are my two favorite shows right now! I've been binging Couples Therapy for the last week!!!
I just finished the season finale last night. SO good. Did you listen to the Orna interview on Armchair Expert??

Have you seen the Dolly Parten x Lodge cast iron?! I have to keep reminding myself that if I buy another cast iron my shelving would probably break.
Omg I have not...! Speaking of collabs, thoughts on her Krispy Kreme donuts??

It's truly the struggle of our times!
