Darcy and Duncan are also witchy. Oh, God. Not a coven. Well, Ruth gives like practical magic witchy. Yeah. Darcy and Duncan give like Burning Man witchy. They're like evangelists for composting. They have a struggling herb garden growing in a windowsill. Aluminum hasn't touched their armpits in at least a decade. They talk about their gut health a lot.

Nadir, you have so many incredible questions. These are questions that my good sis Gemma should have asked before she went in, but it's too late now. It is too late. You're right. One last thing to know about this apartment. On the floor that's street level, there's like a little plant shop. Okay, we love that. Yeah. That's kind of like rom-com setting. Yeah.

At first, this works out relatively okay for Gemma. In fact, she's having a phenomenal time. She's working a ton, so she's rarely home. Plus, everyone at the restaurant she's waiting tables at is like really, really cool. She joins a running club, which I know neither one of us would ever do. As we've established, we do not run.

Right, right, right, right, right, right. So according to Wikipedia, perpetual stew is also known as forever soup, hunter's pot, or hunter's stew. Perpetual stew is, quote, "...a pot into which foodstuffs are placed and cooked continuously. The pot is never or rarely emptied all the way and ingredients and liquid are replenished as necessary.

Not specific, just foodstuffs. Just foodstuffs. Exactly. Exactly. Duncan and Darcy's stew has been going for at least a year. Uh-huh. Okay. I read about one in Thailand that's been going on for over 45 years. And last year, a woman went viral for keeping a perpetual stew going for two months in Prospect Park.

Yeah, anybody who knows me knows that I have the gastrointestinal constitution of one of those kids who live in a bubble. So I'm not risking it. And neither is Gemma. No matter how many times Duncan and Darcy try to convince her that it's safe. Duncan and Darcy are obsessed with the stew. Like, they eat at least one helping of stew a day, sometimes up to three.
