Ina Garten on Good Hang with Amy Poehler

with IG Ina Garten

The Hang, in Short

Julia Louie-Dreyfus Zooms in from Santa Barbara wearing an enormous sun hat, already mid-conversation about dermatologist warnings and UV protection. She made lemon sorbet served in hollowed-out lemon rinds for the call, which looks stunning but came out way too icy. Amy suggests maybe they shouldn't even ask Ina anything. Too late! The actual JLD questions for Ina Garden: why are you so cheerful (said aggressively), what puts you in a bad mood, and how do I fix my sorbet's texture? Julia and Ina became real friends after the podcast recording, and now the couples double-date. Jeffrey and Brad, both long successful marriages. Amy's pumped to talk about Ina's nuclear energy career at the White House, her intentional decision to choose joy after meeting Jeffrey, and why her cookbooks work for late-blooming home cooks. Julia's trying to bail on dinner plans tonight.
