Let’s Chat — We’re Doing a Live Stream Tomorrow!
We’re excited to host a Big Salad live stream TOMORROW. Come hang with the wonderful Jenny Rosenstrach and me as we dig into easy dinners, marriage, moving houses, and NYC, on Tuesday, at 12 p.m. EST. To join us, simply download the Substack app ahead of time. (Then you should get an automatic email with a link as soon as we go live — you’ll also get a notification on your phone, if your notification setting is turned on in the app.)
All spring, we’ll be chatting live with more friends — including pop culture critic Hunter Harris, poet Kate Baer, and novelist Catherine Newman (of house tour fame) — about everything from movies and careers, to parenting and relationships, to grey hair and botox. We’ll also be responding to reader comments live during our talks.
This first live stream is for all subscribers, both free and paid. If you have any questions or topics you’d like us to tackle, please leave them in the comments below. Thank you!!!
P.S. More Big Salad newsletter issues, including the best *everything* of all time and how do you know if it’s time to get divorced?

15 commentsWatched today. What an enjoyable chat! Subscribing to Big Salad and Dinner: A Love Story on Substack. Thank you so much Joanna & Jenny💞
Just watched the recording! This was so fun! I can’t find Jenny’s curried dal recipe anywhere though. Anyone know which cookbook it is in?
I missed this (despite setting an alarm – ugh). Is there a way to listen to it?
Caroline, what a star you are!!!
Love love loved watching you two chat while my kids are on the 159471th day of Spring Break. Such a fun bright spot to start my day. Joanna, your comment about Jenny’s marriage was so kind. Jenny, your warm voice and beautiful energy exactly matched the version of you that lives in my head. Thank you. 🥰
Things you wished you knew on the cusp of 40? Or what you’d go back and tell yourself.
I love this! I’ve been missing Jenny!
Would love to hear thoughts on sustained political commitment being wound in to our lives… obviously you do that in some respects via the blog. How else do you find your footing — what you read, donations, what you talk about with friends, community outreach, what you choose to read? Do you all have goals for growth in political identity tied to what we usually think of as growth in the personal/communal identity sense? This is something I’m really thinking about – I got involved in community organizing just a few months ago and I’m in my early thirties so I’m “new.” It feels awkward in some respects to talk about because these ideas and considerations can make people feel annoyed, judged, worried, all that. But they feel like really real questions, and questions that carry a lot of love and chances to grow, and it’s been honestly fun to be making these considerations for the first time, envisioning a more full and aware life. I’d love to hear anyyyyy thoughts
Hi Lll! It kind of feels like you are where I was in my early/mid-thirties, and I totally am with you on all of this. Around that time in my life, I ran for my district’s democratic county committee (and won!), but it was such a crash course in local politics and community organizing. I felt like a newbie compared to everyone else in the same sphere. It’s hard to find your footing, and it takes time. sending lots of love and strength!!
Kate Baer!!!! KATE! And Catherine! AND Hunter! Dang, this is better than all the Freddie teasers combined! You got me *finally pays for subscription*
If we are unable to join live, but are a paid subscriber, is there a way we will be able to watch a recording later?
yes! we will be recording it :)
Livestream sounds great! Off topic: The t shirt you’re wearing in the photo is the kind I loved as a teen. Now I want tower them again but can’t find! Source??
