Ask Me Anything: The Dishes I Love — And Would Rather NOT Make!

Also: Where to eat in Key West, the food I always buy at IKEA and more.

Happy Monday! We usually do Ask Me Anything on Fridays but life got in the way. I love this post—it’s literally the favorite part of my week. And your questions this time were great!

When I say anything, I mean it: In previous weeks I’ve talked about food movies, why I like farmed seafood, Old Bay seasoning and disc golf. Become a paid subscriber, and you can ask questions in the comments section below.

I started making my own Massaman Curry at home using tins of curry paste that I got on Amazon. The curry itself tastes great, but are there brands you suggest? Can I make my own? Should I?
