This was prompted, firstly, by a Slack conversation in which the team was discussing favorite foods and also what was in peoples’ fridges or what our go-to ingredients are. Secondly, this was prompted by ME specifically wanting to know what famous-cook-Kayla had in her fridge, but — joke’s on us — she was moving during this time period so the answer is…not that much!
I know that I take food pretty seriously, and so do a lot of our team members. What you’ll find in this roundtable is a largely unarranged, unbothered look into our fridges (except for Heather’s and Carmen’s fridges which are enviably organized). I asked folks to showcase some of their favorite things, if they wanted, and to tell us about their fridge setup. What unfurled were notes about the ways we organize our lives, our relationships to food, and our relationships to refrigerators and home and the ways food was intertwined with how we were raised.
Content notes: this roundtable contains discussions of food and eating, but we don’t discuss anything in terms of restrictive diets (except for things that are disability / chronic illness related or that have to do with allergies / intolerences / being vegetarian or vegan). However, if it’s not helpful for you to see content like this at this time, please do navigate away.
Thank you so much for being an A+ member, for literally feeding us, for keeping us here.
xoxo,
Nico
