We're not quite at the age where all our friends are getting married left and right, but it is an important milestone that is creeping up on us. Whether we've been to 10+ family weddings and know the cultural ceremonies like the back of our hand, or whether all of our wedding knowledge derives from the chick lit we read when we were 12 years old, we chat about our various wedding experiences and how they affect our personal expectations for our weddings.  Follow us on IG! @eatyourcrustpod  Support the showFollow us on social media @eatyourcrustpod

Since we’ve both started cooking more for ourselves in the past few years, there’s a few gripes we have about cooking. First of all, we’re spending more and more time (and money!) thinking about, prepping for, and cleaning up after cooking. Second of all, why does it take 10+ hours of careful love and coddling for us to make some decent bone broth at home?! Join us for our little rant session today to see if any of your cooking pet peeves come up! Follow us on IG! @eatyourcrustpod  Support the showFollow us on social media @eatyourcrustpod

As you know, we love to dive into the Asian American experience (and Asian Canadian experience), since both of us grew up in North America. But the Asian experience extends beyond the US & Canada, so today we bring on our friend Niu-Niu to hear about what it was like growing up in Hungary, especially as someone who is ethnically Chinese!

It’s no secret that friendships are a big part of our lives - from our close high school group chats, to our long distance friends we truly miss, to the friends who are always down to do absolutely nothing together, our friendships mean just as much to us as our relationships! But does the amount of effort, vulnerability, and transparency we bring to friendships match the level of internal appreciation we have?  Are we as willing to work on our Big Friendships as we are on our relationships? Today we delve into our thoughts on friendship insecurities, improving intimacy with friends, and our personal friendship learnings. This episode is inspired by and dedicated to “Big Friendship: How We Keep Each Other Close” by Aminatou Sow and Ann Friedman. Not only is their book a phenomenal deep dive into the importance of working on your meaningful friendships, Aminatou and Ann host a wonderful podcast called “Call Your Girlfriend” that delves deeper into the nuances of friendship.
