    The Big Boo Cast, Episode 429
    Feb 13 2025
    This week Melanie and I dig into the dynamic between her and Caroline as far as wardrobe planning is concerned (it's a complex situation), and we talk through my recent discovery related to using mascara. We also discuss my Severance obsession, which is significant.

    On top of all that, Melanie has a new book out next week (!!!), and it's her turn for Five Favorites.

    Hope you enjoy!

    It's been a week full of cross-stitching and watching Samford Step Sing and catching up with friends since we last recorded, so Melanie and I talk through all of these things as well as how she might be able to deal with the handling of the chicken in a recipe I made over the weekend.

    We also discuss what Melanie's been reading and watching, and it's my turn for Five Favorites.

    Please do enjoy. :-)

    This week Melanie and I both have tried some new things: Mel has ventured into a new workout experience, and I have decided to pick (back) up a hobby I enjoyed back in high school and college. There's also a mouse update (in light of the Polar Vortex), and Mel shares a great recipe for a dinner party.

    Mel also has a new nighttime skincare ritual, and it's her turn for Five Favorites.

    Enjoy, everybody!
