Hey Karen and Rod! Just catching up and see that folks already gave you the spoon tip for peeling ginger , so I will just say that I have had Shuckin & Jivin on my Miami to eat list for ages. I have seen so many people rave about the food and their IG page has been tempting me for a year. Might make a trip to escape this NYC winter. I also LOVE that you play the theme song between segments. It truly is a bop! Love y’all!
Hi Karen and Rod! Please forgive me if this is duplicate comment. I got an error message after I tried to post the 1st one. Anyway…A hack for peeling ginger root is to run the edge of a spoon against the skin like a potato peeler. The skin will come off easily.

Now that I finished the show, I love the “taking your lunch” idea to free up time. I spend so much time trying to decide where I’m going, & sometimes I just say fuckit because I don’t feel like going anywhere & it’s not worth the hassle. Also, I tried Blue Apron, but there were a lot of choices and I ended up putting off several weeks. Maybe I’ll try one of the other choices. Thanks Karen!
I just love the song y’all. Haven’t even started the show good but this song fits Karen so well. Feel good song for a lady that always makes her audience feel good! Ok, now I’mma listen LoL
Hey Karen and Rod!!!!
I was NOT expecting another episode so fast but I loved it!
This year will be the first year I try Pumpkin Spiced food, drinks and candles. As the days get shorter and the weather changes I go into a mild depression. My SAD (seasonal affective disorder) diagnosis makes me sensitive to everything that reminds me of fall/winter not just the weather. This year my therapist suggested that I try taking baby steps to deal with the upcoming season, so pumpkin spice is on my list of things to try. I don’t expect to be completely rid of my SAD diagnosis, but my hope is to not let it cripple me with anxiety. So consider me a member of the Pumpkin Spice Crew, west coast chapter. If all goes well I’m buying some Uggs. Rod, I know they know your name up in these Ugg lined streets. If I mention you do you think I will get a discount?
Thanks again for another great episode.

Hi Rod and Karen. A hack to easily peel ginger root is use a spoon! it sounds crazy but you just run the edge of the spoon against the skin and it should come off easily. Here’s a link with visuals: https://www.latimes.com/food/dailydish/la-dd-how-to-peel-ginger-20150824-story.html
