In a rerun of an *absolute hit* episode from last holiday season, we’re talkin’ Thingies with Alison Roman, the woman behind a SLEW of recipes we cook all the dang time. We know you know her, but JIC, she’s the author of NYT bestselling—and gifty!—cookbooks <a href= "https://bookshop.org/p/books/sweet-enough-a-baking-book-alison-roman/18720214?ean=9781984826398"> Sweet Enough,</a> <a href= "https://bookshop.org/p/books/nothing-fancy-unfussy-food-for-having-people-over-alison-roman/11165547?ean=9780451497017"> Nothing Fancy</a>, and <a href= "https://bookshop.org/p/books/dining-in-highly-cookable-recipes-a-cookbook-alison-roman/11165505?ean=9780451496997"> Dining In</a>, she doles out the most delightful kitchen content in <a href="https://www.alisoneroman.com/newsletter">A Newsletter</a> and on her <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/alisoneroman">Home Movies</a> YouTube channel, and she delivers guidance of all kinds on her <a href= "https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/solicited-advice-with-alison-roman/id1709162489"> Solicited Advice</a> podcast. In essence: She’s full of thoughts, and we want them all.   First things first, what we would bring to a pilot kid-gift swap (thx, Leslie!): <a href= "https://rstyle.me/+I6-4xbcREcyzZHs-z9_8eA">Spirograph</a>, <a href="https://yellowowlworkshop.com/products/diy-pin-flair-kit">Yellow Owl Workshop DIY Pin & Flair Kit</a>, <a href= "https://mcachicagostore.org/products/stencil-art-kit?currency=USD&variant=42520073076979&utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=google&utm_campaign=Google%20Shopping&stkn=9a5ce7d795dd&gclid=CjwKCAiAvJarBhA1EiwAGgZl0EHkWl_WWkJXcfnME_AX9sYxBeXuhSXwubf0W1tETYpFZbGTmDBM4hoCUUgQAvD_BwE"> Bastien Contraire Stencil Kit</a>, <a href= "https://majoideas.com/">Majo Ideas Art Pack</a>, and <a href= "https://www.walmart.com/c/kp/pop-tubes">Pop Tubes</a>.   Alison’s tabletop Thingies include beeswax candles (try <a href="https://www.greentreehomecandle.com/">Greentree Home Candle</a>—maybe in the sangria color?!), candle holders *in general* (e.g., <a href="https://sophieloujacobsen.com/">this Sophie Lou Jacobson one</a>), and interesting serving platters including <a href= "https://us.bordallopinheiro.com/couve-concave-leaf-26-natural-prd-pt"> Bordallo Pinheiro's</a>. For the bod, she loves using <a href= "https://us.laneige.com/products/lip-sleeping-mask">Laneige’s lip mask</a> as lip balm, and <a href= "https://us.davines.com/products/nourishing-vegetarian-miracle-mask?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAgqGrBhDtARIsAM5s0_kuHBdV5zPMDl-wT1Y-_alvO7eeEv-yMzmwRRjV6h2DCmYMGBxcA9kaAikmEALw_wcB"> Davines’s Vegetarian Miracle Mask</a> for her hair. On the food front, how about chopped fermented chilies—use them to make <a href="https://www.alisoneroman.com/recipes/brothy-chickpeas-with-calabrian-chili"> her Brothy Chickpeas with Calabrian Chili</a> (and/or <a href= "https://www.theguardian.com/food/2020/jul/11/yotam-ottolenghi-chickpea-recipes-confit-tandoori-polenta-chips-parmesan-braise?page=with%3Aimg-3?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=athingortwo&utm_content=052322"> these chickpeas</a>)—and, for dessert, <a href= "https://www.kolsvart.com/">Kolsvart gummies</a>.    Share your Thingies with us at 833-632-5463, <a href= "mailto:podcast@athingortwohq.com">podcast@athingortwohq.com</a>, and <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/athingortwohq/">@athingortwohq</a>, or drop them in <a href= "https://links.geneva.com/invite/589b6cbf-729a-46da-93ff-9e9ec0a1309b"> our Geneva</a>!   YAY.
