THE SEASON 1 FINALE!! Can I imagine I'm surrounded by 1000 daisies while recording this episode in my closet? 😆 This episode had many unexpected moments, some good and some not as good.... (I'm looking at you Dean and Tristan!) On the bright side, there were so many gorgeous visuals and springtime vibes in this finale, I loved it! We will talk all about Lorelai and Max's do-over proposal, how I feel about Rory finally saying I Love You to Dean, and whether Paris and Rory will ever be friends again!
Thank you all for a wonderful Season 1 of My Comfort Show. It's been a journey for me and I am having lots of fun getting to know you guys, hearing your thoughts on the characters, and sharing my opinions with you as I watch Gilmore Girls for the 1st time! I will be taking a break before diving into Season 2 so you can always remain in touch with me via Instagram or Email. ❤️ Love yall!

Hi!! We are almost at the end of SEASON 1!!! Join me as I discuss Rory's reaction to finding out that Lorelai and Max are back together, whether I think Emily was being a good grandmother this episode (or was she taking things too far?), and all the reasons why I think Dean is on his way out... This episode made me very excited to see the season finale and I'm looking forward to seeing if my predictions were correct! Have a great rest of your weekend:)

Hey friends! I am in such a good mood today, maybe because I get to talk about an episode that centers around Emily Gilmore! Stick around until the end because I have some fun facts about Kelly Bishop and what inspired her portrayal of the iconic Emily. I hope you enjoy this unedited/informal chat:) Love!
My delicious oatmeal recipe:
- Boil 1 cup of water in a pot. Add 1/2 cup oats to the pot once it's boiling.
- After 4 minutes on medium heat, continue cooking, but add a little bit of almond milk, a dash of cinnamon, 2 tbsp of chia seeds (this will thicken the oatmeal!), and 1 tbsp of almond butter.
- Keep stirring until the oatmeal is at your desired thickness.
- Pour into a bowl and add a few chocolate chips on top. They will melt into the oatmeal and make it taste extra delicious:)!

Hii! 🤎 Paris and Tristan on a date?! And the arrival of a distant family member could mean a LOT of money towards Rory's education! What else do you think would have happened if Rory got the money? Also, a fascinating deleted scene was cut from Season 3, listen until the end to hear more (I'd love to know your thoughts on the scene, too)! Sending love!

It's New Year's Eve friends!! 🤎 What an unexpected episode, the drama these days is really hooking me in!! Do you think Lorelai will keep her new relationship a secret? Will Rory and Tristan get together (i hope not lol)? This episode was SO GOOD and I can't wait to watch the next one with you all.
Recipe for the Episode:
- Chai Snickerdoodles!To flavor your snickerdoodles with chai tea, put 1.5 bags of dried chai tea into the cookie dough. The chai flavor goes really well with the cinnamon sugar on the outside of the cookie. These were delicious and very buttery!

Happy Holidays friends!! ❄️🤎 It's hot chocolate season... and the perfect time to discuss the enigma that is Dean and Rory's breakup. Were you as shocked as I was when it happened?? Also, will Lorelai soon get over her feelings of loneliness, and do you think Luke and Rachel are getting back together? So much to talk about today!
Recipe for the Episode:
- ☕Hot Chocolate TEA!☕ Brew 1 cup of Earl Grey tea in a saucepan. On low heat, whisk in 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder, and as much cinnamon and sugar as you'd like. The measurements are totally up to you in this recipe! You can also melt a few pieces of a dark chocolate bar if you want it to be extra rich and chocolatey. Keep whisking everything on low until the mixture gets heated through. To finish, add some frothy steamed milk on top. Delicious and warm!!

Hi friends!:) Let's discuss this lovely & light episode with TWO double dates involved. Featuring fun facts about the characters of Mrs. Kim and Lane, as well as their wonderful portrayals by Keiko Agena and Emily Kuroda!
Here is the recipe I used for the Recipe of the Week. Feel free to try it out and let me know how it went!
Strawberry-Blueberry Smoothie (inspired by Sookie and Jackson):
- Add 4 spoonfuls of frozen blueberries, 3-4 frozen strawberries, 4 spoonfuls of oats, 1 teaspoon matcha, 1 teaspoon cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon peanut butter, and 1 cup of almond milk to a blender.
- Blend until smooth! :) I love having this smoothie as part of my breakfast!
- If you do not have frozen fruit, you can use non-frozen, but just make sure to add a few ice cubes to the blender to make the smoothie cold.
- Feel free to add more almond milk to the blender if you want the smoothie to be less thick.
- You can also add a sweetener of your choice.

Hey listeners!:) Let's talk about handling school gossip, behind-the-scenes fun facts about how the character of Paris was created, and what happens when your parents come to homeroom with you...
Here is the recipe I used for the Recipe of the Week. Feel free to try it out and let me know how it went!
Sautéed Zucchini (in honor of Jackson's genetically modified zucchini tush lol!):
- Slice 1 zucchini into 1/4 inch thick slices.
- Heat 3 tbsp of olive oil in a pan on medium-low heat.
- Once it's sizzling, add the slices of zucchini. Be careful as it will splatter! I used a splatter guard.
- After 3 minutes, flip over each slice (or when you notice it getting a golden color). Cook for another 2-3 minutes on the second side.
- Using tongs, put each piece onto a plate. Serve with any main course you'd like!

Here are the recipes I used for the Recipe of the Week. Feel free to try them out and let me know how they went!
- Ube-Coconut Muffins: https://theunlikelybaker.com/ube-muffins-recipe/. To make the ube jam that fills the muffins, see below.
- Ube Jam (Halaya) (adapted from https://keepingitrelle.com/easy-ube-halaya-recipe/): In a pot on medium heat, pour 3 cups of water and an entire packet (about 4 oz) of ube powder. Add 1 can (about 14 oz) of coconut milk to the pot. Stir together (keep stirring throughout so that it doesn't burn!). At this point, you can add some sweetener to taste, or leave it unsweetened. Keep stirring, and the mixture should boil eventually, which will release some steam and thicken the jam. Once the jam is at your desired consistency you can pour it into a jar, seal the jar, and flip upside down to preserve and cool. Once fully cooled you can store it in the fridge and use in other recipes!

My favorite episode so far... tune in for an honest chat about crushes, pets, family, and so much more :)
Here is the recipe I used for the (very cinnamon-y) Recipe of the Week. Feel free to try it out and let me know how it went!
- Linzer Cookies: https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/linzer-cookies-recipe - You can fill them with any jam you wish, I used homemade apple jam (see recipe below)
- Apple Jam: Peel 1 apple and dice it into small pieces. Put it in a small pot with 1 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon cardamom, start cooking on medium heat, stirring constantly! Add sugar to taste, while it's cooking, so that the apple juice can come out. If you need to soften the apples more, then add a tablespoon of water and cover. It's ready when all the apple has softened and you can mush it with a fork so it becomes saucy and jammy:)
I went back and polished up the audio on all my episodes and I have my friend Michael to thank for that. He programmed a tool hosted at https://loudness.fm/ that cleans up podcast audio for you. Check it out!
