Chapter 1: How can you talk to family about election results?
There's a method to that.
I think they soak them.
It fascinates me. How do they get all that milk from a little grain of oat?
I know.
It's going to come out that it's a phony. No, what else would it be? The only place you get milk is from goats or cows. Sheep. No, I don't think sheep get milk, do they? Sheeps. Sheeps. Cheese. Sheep cheese. Goat cheese.
Oh, I don't know.
I don't think sheep give cheese, but maybe they do. I don't know. I'm not familiar with sheep in my life, but I know goats for sure.
I was FaceTiming with my boyfriend who's in Korea and he went into a coffee shop and he goes, can I have almond milk? I'm like, you're in Korea. Like they don't. But although they had it, they had it.
All right.

Chapter 6: Why is Palm Beach a favorite winter getaway?
Yes, it's a very pleasant ritual.
Everybody was good this week, but I ran into this two-page fold-out, and I know it's going to be a good program.
Let's answer a little bit of the Ask Grandma Anything that people wrote in from Instagram. I think next week we'll do mostly Thanksgiving-related questions, or the week of Thanksgiving, I mean. But if people want to start preparing themselves, people asked Grandma what your favorite side dish is.
My favorite side dish I think would be sweet potatoes. I love them in every form. That's what you make. Well, but I love the actual potato itself. I make the, you know, what do you call it, souffle with the marshmallows. But I love a good sweet potato. Okay. And it's not that easy. By the way, yams are not the same as sweet potatoes. It's a different form of a potato.
And it really, the ones that are the sweetest should be at this time of the year because they're really fresh.
Exactly.
They're like squashes are at this time of the year. So sometimes when I go to the market, I get really disappointed when I bake one and it's not really great. But usually in October, November, December, they're usually all good. So that is my favorite side.
Mm-hmm. I think I like fruit stuffing, which is different than regular stuffing. It's fruit stuffing.
And with apricots.
