S1:E12- Almond Joy

24 June 2025

It’s 101 degrees today in MetroWest and John Legg isn’t here, but Jenna Friedman is and that’s all we needed for an epic show. We recap the ACE barbeque, the end of TST softball, the Monday board meeting, and our new vegetable beds, and hear about Kansas City burnt ends, a Brockman family dinner at The Chat, a yard sale in West Concord, and a U14 softball championship in Natick. A debate breaks out about the sandwich-or-not statuses of hot dog, hamburgers, falafel pockets, wraps, and more as Logan reviews potential b’rachot over those options, Dan recaps Korach and gives a pop quiz about almonds in the Jewish tradition, Marissa leads us on a show-and-tell escapade, and we look back up our family trees at the Borscht Belt and summers in the Catskills. We also discuss taking Rabbi Lisa’s summer class, Jenna’s upcoming camp visits, and look at some upcoming summer programming as Dan plans a next merch order. And, of course, we’ve got a pretty awesome song about almonds to bring it to a close post-credits. See you in July!
