I love that so much that I didn't get out of bed until
5pm.
>> Candace (01:18):
And that, my friends, is how it's done.
>> Tanorria (01:20):
No shame. You go on vacation and then you
come home and the day after vacation you just sleep all day because
it's in your own bed.
>> Candace (01:28):
And you. The catch up after
vacation. Like you actually need a vacation from your
vacation. Catch up 100.
It's so much like.

Yes.
>> Tanorria (01:45):
Yeah, it's a. I also need the day before

Yes.
>> Tanorria (01:50):
Because of the errand running, the packing, the getting the house.
Like I need to come home to a spotless house.
>> Candace (01:57):
So I'm the same way.
>> Tanorria (01:58):
Yeah. Like, we, we had our cleaning lady come a few days
before, but then it's like change all the
sheets and all that before you go. Yeah.
>> Candace (02:07):
I want to be able to come home and just dump my suitcase out and
just wash my vacation clothes.
>> Tanorria (02:12):
Girl, that is exactly. I came
home, got off that plane, I took a shower to wash the
plane off me and immediately crawled into bed.
>> Candace (02:20):
Yeah.
>> Tanorria (02:21):
Didn't have to worry about a thing.
>> Candace (02:23):
Yeah, that's. That's my only way. Like, I, I
don't vacation any other way now. Just my anxiety won't
let me do it any other way.
>> Tanorria (02:30):
Yeah. It's the feeling of being rushed and stuff. It's
not worth it.
>> Candace (02:34):
No, it's not. It's not at all.
Well, I'm so glad you all went on vacation. I can't
wait to Hear about it. but for those of you who are
tuning in for the very first time, welcome to Black Girls Eating.
I'm Candace.
>> Tanorria (02:47):
I'm Tanora.
>> Candace (02:49):
And we are a podcast about well
seasoned food, Black girl magic, justice, and all
things in between.
>> Tanorria (02:56):
All the things in between.
>> Candace (02:58):
I'm super excited about this season of Black Girls
Eating.
>> Tanorria (03:02):
You know, we are on our
four year anniversary. We've been
doing this for four years now.
we dreamed about it for a good year or two
priority. So it has been a labor of
love for five or six years.
>> Candace (03:19):
Yeah.
>> Tanorria (03:19):
and I have just
loved the molding
and the shaping and the twisting and the turning
of how we are choosing to let our
podcast evolve, like on our own terms.
There are great podcasts out there that are
steady and consistent, but we have
(03:40):
multiple jobs,
families with lots of needs
and still hanging in there and
fighting the good fight.
>> Candace (03:49):
Hanging in there, fighting a good fight. And yeah, so
maybe we do have a month or two where we have a
break, but we're still committed to
being able to put out good content. We're
still able to be able to connect with guests that we
know our listeners are going to love.
And I love the fact that we get to
(04:09):
tell stories and share just,
amazingness with people. And the
benefits are just overflowing. Right. Like we,
we hear people say, well, I heard this on your podcast and I never knew
that or it really touched my heart when so and so
said this. And I think to me that's the impact.
Right?
>> Tanorria (04:28):
Yeah. Yeah. I met with,
another DEI professional a couple weeks ago
just to have coffee and just kind of connect
and relate to all the things going on. And she was
quoting multiple episodes of our podcast to
me and I was like, I said that? Oh,
okay, cool, great. I need to go back and listen to
(04:48):
that.
>> Candace (04:48):
That is so funny.
>> Tanorria (04:50):
It was really cool. It was really cool.
So, yeah, Happy
anniversary, Fred.
>> Candace (04:57):
Yes. Happy anniversary to you. And I'm m super excited
that you and I get to still do this together. And
we love doing it with each other.
>> Tanorria (05:04):
Yes. Yeah. Sometimes I
get an itching like, okay, when are we, when are we gonna, when
are we gonna record? Just because I like spending time and
being in conversation with you and with our guests too.
>> Candace (05:16):
Yeah, absolutely.
>> Tanorria (05:21):
yeah, because it's a big deal and I'm proud of
it. So,
Black Girls Eating has been able
to secure an absolutely
amazing partner and
sponsor for the 2024,
2025 season. And,
not only are they supporting us and getting this
(05:44):
content out to you all for free. But
they are also supporting us in being able to connect
with you all publicly, in person,
live.
So, we are so excited to announce that
Black Girls Eating has a live
recording scheduled for
Saturday, March 22. Is it
(06:07):
Saturday or so?
>> Candace (06:08):
It is. It is.
>> Tanorria (06:09):

Church Cathedral, that church on the
circle that we all know and love. If you are a resident of
Indianapolis. and we are just
so honored to be in their space,
and to be in such a
(06:29):
central part of the community, to bring the community
together.
>> Candace (06:34):
Listen, I am so excited we finally
shared it on Social. And so many people were just like,
yes, like, finally, like, I. I feel like people have
been waiting for us to do a live show because they
remember how we used to moderate live panels
together and how we start. And so I
think, you know, it's one thing to hear us over the airwaves, but it's
just another thing when we're in the room together. It literally is
(06:56):
just. It's magical and it's electric and I am
so excited.
>> Tanorria (07:01):
You are absolutely right. I mean, you basically
just said our theme. Yeah.
Where when you're in the room together, there is magic.
And we, are going to
feature some really awesome community,
contributors to the Indianapolis area,
specifically women in the room. everyone
(07:21):
is welcome. Yeah, everybody's welcome. We want
to see your face. There's plenty of space
at Christchurch Cathedral, so come on out. This is a
free event. Emphasis
on free.
>> Candace (07:34):

>> Tanorria (07:35):
So there is no excuse for you not to be in the
room. So we would absolutely
love to have you.
>> Candace (07:43):
Absolutely. So please, come one, come all.
>> Tanorria (07:46):
I wanna. I wanna hear about your life. What's been going
on, how are things?
>> Candace (07:52):
So the biggest thing, obviously,
is seminary. it's the
craziest, coolest thing I think
I've done outside of motherhood.
My brain breaks every day.
I'm reading so many different books that, like, they're all, like,
running together. but thank God for
(08:13):
Libby and thank God for,
Audible Books and
all those things. it's really cool. Like,
I've obviously, been writing a lot and just kind
of, like, exploring deeper stuff. I think
the next biggest thing is that, like, my
baby, baby is going to be 11
(08:34):
and way too.
>> Tanorria (08:35):
Close to being a teenager.
>> Candace (08:37):
And we are in all things swing right now. Like, we're
growing. We're, like, trying out makeup.
Oh, gosh. Yes. And, like, she is, like,
all about Ulta. And all about Sephora. And, like, I
remember being like that at, like, 16.
Yeah. She told me the other day that she
wants her birthday outfit
(08:57):
theme to be Y2K. And when I
tell you, I. Yes, I, said.
What do you mean, Y2K? She's like, you know, like, and
M. You have like, you know, like the baggy
pants with, like, the little mini skirt
over the M top. And like, I was like,
she's like, you know, like, you know, like 2000 styles look. I
(09:17):
was like, what? She's like, you know, like, you wear
like the army, like, pattern, but like,
in like, the color blue. I was like,
army fatigue. She's like, yeah, that. I was like,
oh, Mark. I was.
>> Tanorria (09:31):
How does she even know about this?
>> Candace (09:34):
The Internet girl?
>> Tanorria (09:38):
You are not wrong there.
>> Candace (09:40):
I was. She is just. It's so funny to, like, see all of
these things, like, come back around. And she's like, and if I can't
find that, I want bell bottom, pants. And just like,
it's just so funny. It's so. It's
hysterical. So that's probably like, where, like, where
I am happy and sad at the same time because my
baby. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
(10:00):
yeah. So what about you? I need to
know how my Emmy and my Ellis are
doing.
>> Tanorria (10:06):
Oh, my gosh. I just spent the last seven
days with them and it was so
fun. They are
hilarious. Ellis is one of
the Most advanced talking 2 year olds I've ever met.
>> Candace (10:20):
Yeah.
>> Tanorria (10:20):
like, full on conversations. Titi, what are you
doing? Oh, Ellis, I'm just hanging out sitting
next to you. Well, why? And he loves
to smack his forehead and go, you're kidding
me.
Oh, and Emmy is just the coolest five year
old. I mean, she's just so grown up. Like,
(10:41):
yeah. And I, I, every time I look at her,
I just think, gosh, you're gorgeous. Like, I can't
not look at her and just admire how beautiful she
is. But she's so, so smart and she remembers
everything. She will hold you accountable.
She will absolutely hold you accountable. But they
are so fun. I mean, I haven't
(11:02):
vacationed with Littles in a
long time, and it was, it was
a lot of fun. It is great birth control,
but. It's great birth
control. But it was also
so fun hanging out the pool with Emmy.
And, Ellis wasn't feeling the
(11:23):
sand at first, and then he was feeling it.
And they. Every time I'd walk out of them.
Where's Tay Tay? I'm like, can you be happy to see
me Please.
>> Candace (11:32):
Oh, my God. Isn't it crazy? It is
so crazy.
>> Tanorria (11:36):
There you just.
>> Candace (11:37):
Yeah. Well, I'm so glad,
number one, that they're doing well, because I just
think they're just little gems. I'm like, I literally, I'm like, I remember when
you were born. Like, I love this.
>> Tanorria (11:48):
Yes.
>> Candace (11:49):
Yeah. I love that you all went on vacation together.
Like, to me, that's like a dream thing.
Like, my family, like, we took vacations, but, like, now,
like, as an adult, like, we haven't done that as a family.
>> Tanorria (12:00):
Right. This was our first time. Well, my brother
and I went on vacation with my mom and dad.
Gosh. Like,
2017,
2016,
2014 or something like
that. and this is the first time since then.
And it was me and my brother going on
(12:21):
vacation as adults with our families.
And that was really cool. Yeah, that
was really, really cool.
>> Candace (12:28):
So you have to tell me about all the, all the good stuff. Tell me what was one
of the best meals you ate. Because I, I. There's
a story here, and I've been waiting on you to tell it on air because I
want the people to hear.
>> Tanorria (12:38):
It was stunning. We went to
Kamal, which is a Michelin
recommended. Recommended. It's
not Michel. It's, like, right under Michelin star. It's
Michelin recommended. and this
was really tay and I's like, Valentine's meal. We
didn't do anything for Valentine's because we knew we were gonna
go and do this in Cabo.
(13:00):
And, it
was amazing. Like, this fatty
tuna crudo with caviar,
short rib tacos, grilled
oysters that had, like, this smoky umami
situation in it. I have this
amazing. I don't think it was sea bass. I don't remember what
fish it was. They talked me out of the sea bass into a different fish,
(13:23):
and it was delicious. He had this really good
filet dish, homemade churros with Mexican
hot chocolate. And they served it in clay
mugs and brought it out in a clay carafe and, like,
whipped it in front of you.
It was amazing.
>> Candace (13:38):
They can't see me, but I'm drooling.
>> Tanorria (13:40):
Yeah, the. The view was amazing. The
restaurant, like, and it was like that Michelin rated
service. Like, there are a lot of restaurants that
are Michelin awarded, and they deserve
it because their food is phenomenal. But when you go
to one that's not a hole in a wall,
that has amazing food, but it's a fine
dining experience.
>> Candace (14:01):
Yeah.
>> Tanorria (14:02):
So you get the service on top of it.
Like, everything was sure Mrs. Nixon. Sure.
I'm like, just go ahead, just.
>> Candace (14:10):
Yes, I love that. And you know, that's the
thing. I think that like what I
appreciate about my friendship with
you, just like being married to my wife,
like we appreciate good food,
great food experiences and like,
honestly, especially like at our age and at our stage in life, we're
like, I don't care that this is how much the meal
(14:33):
is. Like, I want it and I, I deserve it and I'm
going to enjoy it.
>> Tanorria (14:37):
Yep. What's funny is when
we, you know, started making
activity plans for Cabo,
I, my sister in law sent me like
this Instagram reel of all these different
Michelin rated restaurants. And so
I looked up all of them and I made two different
reservations. And my brother, he does not eat to live. He
(14:59):
lives to eat or he does not live to eat, he eats to
live. Like he would eat chicken nuggets and pizza every day
and be like, I am nourished, I am fine. Move on. And a
cheeseburger.
>> Candace (15:08):
Really?
>> Tanorria (15:09):
Yeah. And it's weird because everyone in my
family, like my m, my mom, me, even my
dad, we all love, loved food.
>> Candace (15:17):
That's why I'm shocked.
>> Tanorria (15:18):
Yeah. So he is like, he's a picky eater,
he wants what he wants. So when I made the reservations,
I told my husband I was and I told my sister in law, I was like, look,
I have two reservations. You two pick
who's going to one with me.
But, I'm going to both.
The first night, my husband and I, we
(15:39):
went to Kamal and then my sister
in law, we went to a Cray
and it was so beautiful. It was like sitting in a
jungle. Everything is outdoor seating
and open restaurant style. But you don't
worry about the bugs and all that. It's not, I don't know what
they do to repel them, but it works.
(15:59):
and it was just so beautiful. The most amazing crab cake with like
a grapefruit type gastri.
It was so good.
>> Candace (16:07):
You had me at citrus and seafood.
>> Tanorria (16:09):
Right. It was so good. So yeah,
the food was amazing. I actually tried to
video as much as I can. I need to put a little reel
together or something.
but yeah, I. And there's many, many, many, many,
many, many more restaurants that I would love
to go to.
>> Candace (16:28):
Yeah, yeah. Well,
that you had me at. Hello. We need to figure out this
Black girls eating takes the city and like.
>> Tanorria (16:36):
Go and like eat because we have a few.
Like we could do Nashville. Yeah, I
will do New Orleans any day, anytime.
>> Candace (16:44):
we favorite City.
>> Tanorria (16:46):
So it's mine too. Yeah.
>> Candace (16:50):
Couple. Yeah. Like, our favorite city as a
couple is Nashville, but her favorite cities.
New Orleans.
>> Tanorria (16:57):
Yeah.
>> Candace (16:58):
Yeah, we need to, like, figure that.
>> Tanorria (17:00):
Out and like, do. What's it. Oh,
gosh, our, podcast
guest. Crap. Amethyst. Not. Is it
Amethyst?
>> Candace (17:09):
It is, Amethyst. Yeah, we need
to go.
>> Tanorria (17:12):
That. We need to go.
>> Candace (17:13):
We need to go to Charleston. Yeah, yeah.
>> Tanorria (17:16):
yeah, we can go to Cabo
and hit up our continent.
>> Candace (17:24):
I'm here for it.
>> Tanorria (17:25):
Do all them things we got.
>> Candace (17:26):
Ah, we got. And the thing is, we have a few,
like, options, right. Where people have
said, hey, come do this. You know, I want to support you
to do this, but, like, y'all don't play around with us.
Like, we're serious about traveling and eating.
>> Tanorria (17:41):
We will absolutely show up where the food is.
>> Candace (17:43):
We will come, like, don't play with us.
>> Tanorria (17:47):
Yeah, it was.
>> Candace (17:48):
Yeah, I can see it now. Black girls eating live.
Like, for real. For real eating live.
>> Tanorria (17:54):
That would be fun.
>> Candace (17:55):
Put me in a. Put me in a nice warm
balcony with some waves
and a margarita. Like, yeah, yeah, give
it to me. A flowy dress. Yeah.
>> Tanorria (18:06):
Or we can turn the food tour part into like
YouTube. Yeah.
I mean, wherever we go, David goes. So it could be done.
>> Candace (18:14):
Exactly, exactly, exactly. And I feel like the
people want it because they keep asking that. That is our
number one question.
Yeah, that's our number one questions.
>> Tanorria (18:25):
Like, guys, but I appreciate
and respect and love lovey. Ajay
Jones.
>> Candace (18:31):
Yes.
>> Tanorria (18:32):
Because she posted, I think I saw it on her
LinkedIn, but she also posted it
on one of them others
about, not
every podcast needs to be video based.
>> Candace (18:45):
Yes.
>> Tanorria (18:46):
You really did, like, talk about how it
is not cheap, it costs money, it
takes resources. And putting out just
a podcast in general is already
a lot. So then to add, that video component.
And you all have to understand that we as black girls
eating, we sat on this for a year and a half,
(19:07):
two years. We wanted to
be a quality podcast.
>> Candace (19:11):
Right.
>> Tanorria (19:12):
Not want to just throw up an episode that we recorded on our
phones and said, hey, we have a podcast. And
so that took time and it took
resources. And so, like, it would be the same
process with something video based. It
would take. It would put love and care into it
to make sure that it's quality. So.
>> Candace (19:32):
And like, I don't think people realize that,
like,
one facet takes this much
time. Adding video
is a whole nother ball game. Right. Because there's so much
you have to optimize for. And. And now with all the changes
that are happening on all of the algorithms, like,
it's. You have. It's just a lot.
>> Tanorria (19:55):
Yep. Yeah. Yeah.
That's another thing is, like, Candace
and I have always been committed to, building
any kind of following we have, whether it's individually
or collaboratively, as organically as
possible.
>> Candace (20:10):
Yeah.
>> Tanorria (20:10):
And because of that, our followings don't grow
a lot or rapidly.
>> Candace (20:15):
Yeah.
>> Tanorria (20:16):
And so we have to make sure we have the following to support
us. Going all around, like, y two or three people telling
us we love you for it and we believe you and we see you, and it
really does encourage and empower us. But we need, like, two,
three times 100 people to tell us.
>> Candace (20:31):
Yeah.
>> Tanorria (20:32):
Or to be lucrative.
>> Candace (20:33):
Right, Right. And I don't. I really just don't think that,
like, people believe us when
we tell them that.
>> Tanorria (20:40):
Yeah. Yeah.
Hey, friends, it's Tanria. my first ever

cookbooks are sold. It was voted one of the best cookbooks

know how much, like, that really helps podcasters, like,
stay afloat.
>> Tanorria (22:06):
Like, seriously, like, absolutely.
>> Candace (22:08):
Podcasting is expensive, and
there's so many other things that
people don't think about when it comes to building a
podcast.
>> Tanorria (22:18):
Yeah.
>> Candace (22:19):
So you know that $5, $10 a month, it really does

Show it with your dollars. And one of those ways is
maybe buying scholarship a Patreon
membership of black girls eating. So.
>> Candace (23:04):
Yep. Absolutely.
>> Tanorria (23:08):
What do we have in store, friend? What's. What. What's. What's
happening?
>> Candace (23:12):
So I think that people are
obviously going to want to know, like, where we stand on a
couple of issues.
>> Tanorria (23:19):
Yeah.
>> Candace (23:21):
In this season. So, as you know, our
first. Our first foray into this is always going to be
centering black and brown voices. So that's
not going to stop. But we're going to get some heavy
hitters on our show this
season, and we're going to branch out into some
things that maybe take us off the beaten path.
But I think we have a
(23:43):
duty to share the truth
and to support those who we know are going to need
it, especially as we look at what 2025
and the rest of the next couple of years look like.
and we're going to keep doing that. I told people that we're going
to continue to do the work until we can't anymore. So
that's where we are.
>> Tanorria (24:02):
Yeah. And I.
It's real hard to have hope, but you kind
of have no choice but to. Like, if you don't, then
what? I have
hope that we will continue to be
able to do the work as safely as
humanly possible. Like, it won't go away.
(24:22):
We'll just have to continue to be creative,
innovative, resilient black women. That we
are absolutely be able to keep doing it.
>> Candace (24:31):
Absolutely.
>> Tanorria (24:32):
But as Candice said at the start of
this, episode, we are in our
era of resting. And that is what we have been
doing, is not being quiet
intentionally, but, being quiet
strategically. because we have to take care
of ourselves. And we hope that you all are finding
ways to be strategic in
(24:55):
your care, and being
mindful of your surroundings and
your community. because it really, like,
you know, growing up, you heard it takes a
village to raise a child, or you heard
the terms, you know, we're all we've got, man.
Do I not understand that? Better now than ever.
>> Candace (25:15):
Yeah.
>> Tanorria (25:16):
Because of the times that we're in.
>> Candace (25:19):
Absolutely. Absolutely. And I love it
because there's so many black women that I follow on various
platforms, and the theme I have been
seeing all year has been rest,
rest, Rest. And, as someone who. It
took them a very long time to understand, like, the
concept of, like, why resting was
important. Yeah. I'm in it
(25:41):
now. And, like, now, like, I know, like, the minute I feel
it coming on, m. Like, okay, let me go take a
beat.
>> Tanorria (25:47):
Uh-huh.
>> Candace (25:48):
You know, and I think if more
of us did that, we would be better off.
>> Tanorria (25:53):
Yeah.
>> Candace (25:54):
So I'm. I'm with it. I'm fully committed. I'm leaning. I'm
leaning into rest, and I'm fully leaning into black
joy.
>> Tanorria (26:01):
Amen to that. Right there with you.
okay, so I have
a couple of questions that I think might be fun
if we try to be intentional about asking these maybe
every episode or ish.
>> Candace (26:15):
Okay.
>> Tanorria (26:16):
Ourselves or to our guests. what black
brand are you is giving you life right
now?
>> Candace (26:23):
always. the lip bar.
I found a whole little mini
situation because I was thinking about moving
away from Boss Lady. Oh,
I know, right? Like, Boss lady is my one. Like, I had.
I had a Boss lady on today, and I found a couple of little
mini that I could try. And so, since
(26:44):
I am not going to Target, I haven't been in
32 days. So.
>> Tanorria (26:49):
Proud of you.
>> Candace (26:49):
thank you. It has been a struggle. but I
tried it, and I loved. I love Rich Auntie.
>> Tanorria (26:55):
Is that. See, that is almost my
favorite.
>> Candace (26:59):
Okay.
>> Tanorria (26:59):
Sometimes I think I love Rich Auntie better than Boss
Lady.
>> Candace (27:03):
Really?
>> Tanorria (27:03):
I feel like Boss lady is more like my fall winter.
Auntie is my spring summer.
>> Candace (27:09):
Yes. And so I figured that out. I was like, oh, why do I like
this one so much more now? Because, like, the weather right now kind of
feels springy. And so I tried Rich. I was like, oh, this is
it. I wear that. So, like, of
course, like, the lip bar, like, I just feel like it
just. It's incredible. It is incredible.
And what they've been able to do
(27:29):
for black women, I mean,
you don't understand the importance of being able to find a
makeup shade that actually looks good on you until you go down the
aisle. And everything else washes you out. Everything else
is too pasty for you. And so being able to go and to
know that there is a shade that's going to match me
is just. Yeah. So far
(27:50):
for me. What about you?
>> Tanorria (27:52):
I'm just going to piggyback off of
what you said as far as representation in
beauty, I. I promise not
all of our recommendations are going to be all makeup, but I
am, like, obsessed with Danessa Myricks right
now.
>> Candace (28:07):
Mm.
>> Tanorria (28:08):
she is a black owned makeup brand, and her
tinted moisturizer is the
everyday makeup that I don't want but didn't
know I needed. Like, I am not an everyday makeup person.
I just don't wear makeup every day.
But I feel like I've gotten to the age
where a little bit. A little pick
(28:29):
me up doesn't hurt. And
just, you know, feeling a little brighter every
day with a little makeup is fun to me right now.
And so I tried a few tinted moisturizers,
like, CeraVe and
SuperGoop. There was another
brand I tried, and they were okay, but I still
felt like almost that that sunscreen cast.
(28:52):
That black girl sunscreen does not give you
all team black girl sunscreen on vacation in Cabo.
I mean, I'm team them every day, but, Danessa
Myricks, her tinted moisturizer is,
like, textured beautifully.
It just sinks and melts into your
skin. her blushes are so
(29:12):
pigmented, but also, like,
blend so beautifully. And, like, I thought I was
not that big of a blush girly, honestly, until
MasterChef and the makeup artists were like, no, honey, you're a
blush girly. Like, m. You can put any color on
your skin. And you can.
>> Candace (29:28):
Yes, you can. You absolutely can. Like,
I could see you, like, rocking an orange. Oh, my God.
>> Tanorria (29:34):
that is exactly what the ladies. The ladies at MasterChef, I
actually threw it away recently. I've had it since 2016.
Because she's like, I don't use this this much, but this is
your color. You need to take it to me.
I don't. I don't know what brand it was, but it was an
orange. Yep. Yeah, like a,
What's the shade of orange? I'm thinking a coral.
>> Candace (29:53):
A coral. I knew you were gonna say coral. Yes.
>> Tanorria (29:56):
Yep.
>> Candace (29:56):
Yes. I love that.
>> Tanorria (29:58):
Vanessa Myricks. I don't know
if she's exclusively at Sephora, but I've bought
her through Sephora because the
black girl at Sephora, Nina, is the only person I
trust with makeup recommendations. And she told me about
her, and I get Danessa Myricks.
Yeah.
>> Candace (30:16):
Okay, I'm gonna try it because I wear a tinted
moisturizer slash, like BB cream.
That's what I wear every day. Because I'm not an everyday full
face girl either.
>> Tanorria (30:26):
Yeah.
>> Candace (30:26):
But I'm Gonna try that. Because the one I love, I
think as my skin is aging, as I,
you know, dig deeper into perimenopause, like, I.
I need something else.
>> Tanorria (30:36):
Yeah, yeah, give her a try.
And then my
other question is, what is bringing you
joy right now?
>> Candace (30:50):
What's bringing me joy?
So, threads.
I love this community that
has been built on threads. Right. Like,
especially, like right around after the
election and all the. All these black women were like, I'm in the
(31:11):
92%. But, like,
so I joined a couple of, like,
groups, like black married couples
group, like black, you know, like,
black made lesbian groups, like black,
you know, reader groups. And so, like, being able to,
like, tap in and say, hey, I read this book. Or like,
get, you know, recommendations or get advice. I
(31:33):
just, I love it because I've literally been able to
connect with people that are right here in the city and I had no clue.
Oh, wow. Yeah. And so it's just. It's been really,
really good to be able to connect that way.
I've got. I've added so many books to my
library. Like, I cannot
buy another book for my shelf.
Like, I'm completely out. because you know me, like, I'm a book girly. Like, I
(31:56):
love my, my digital books, but I love
actual holding books in my hand. So that's kind of
been my fun part.
>> Tanorria (32:04):
Okay.
>> Candace (32:05):
What is reading?
>> Tanorria (32:05):
I know that about three. You have to teach me how to use threads,
girl.
>> Candace (32:09):
Yeah, it's. It's really, it's really fun. It's
really fun.
>> Tanorria (32:12):
I'm on there and I jump in there from time to time. And
usually it's. I've jumped in there because either you or
Melanie Allen have tagged me in something. Oh, I need to see
that. But other than that, I don't really spend
time in there and I need to.
>> Candace (32:26):
Yeah, it's fun. I mean, because, you know, we're all trying to pull away
from. From Twitter, so.
>> Tanorria (32:30):
Right, right. I've deleted the app. I need to
actually delete my account because that is the safer way to do
things.
>> Candace (32:36):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So what is bringing you joy, my friend?
>> Tanorria (32:42):
I have three things.
They're the things I always talk about.
Wicked. It is a
ridiculous. I just got done reading the 20
hour long audiobook of Wicked.
>> Candace (32:55):
Really?
>> Tanorria (32:56):
I have the next one, Son of a
Witch, reserved.
They are coming out with a new one in March,
Elphaba, that I pre
ordered.
>> Candace (33:08):
Okay.
>> Tanorria (33:09):
and my best friend Jody and I got tickets to
go see Wicked here. So you're going you're
going.
>> Candace (33:17):
Okay.
>> Tanorria (33:18):
right before New Year's,
my husband bought me Wicked on Prime.
And so I watch it at least twice a week.
>> Candace (33:26):
Really?
>> Tanorria (33:27):
Yeah. It's ridiculous. I listen to the soundtrack every time
I'm in the shower. If I wasn't listening to the audiobook, I was listening
to the soundtrack.
>> Candace (33:34):
That is so. I. I love this for
you, Maddie. Maddie's fully
obsessed with that and Hamilton right now.
>> Tanorria (33:43):
Oh, yes, ma'am. Yes, she is
in her.
>> Candace (33:46):
She's like. Like, we were heading to her basketball game.
She's like, mom, I really need to listen to Hamilton right now.
I was like, okay. Girly, like music.
She's all about it.
>> Tanorria (33:57):
Yeah.
>> Candace (33:57):
And then like, so, like, explaining to her that Lin Manuel is the
same person that did Encanto.
>> Tanorria (34:02):
Yeah. And songs from Moana.
>> Candace (34:04):
Yeah. And I was. So I told her. She was like, wait, what?
Yeah, it's the same person.
>> Tanorria (34:09):
She's like, oh, my God,
I love it. Yeah, I love it.
So, yeah. Wicked is literally my
dopamine hit right now. And then
my black women sourdough group on
Facebook.
>> Candace (34:24):
Let me just tell you, I'm so.
>> Tanorria (34:26):
Proud of my little group.
>> Candace (34:27):
I love the black women
sourdough group. I can't even eat sourdough,
but I'm in there looking at people's bread like.
Like somebody made like a cinnamon one the other day and I was like, I
would eat all of that. Like, it looks so good.
>> Tanorria (34:43):
I think there's a couple of gluten free girlies in there.
>> Candace (34:46):
You know, I'm going to make a post.
>> Tanorria (34:48):
You should, because I think there are some gluten free
girlies in there.
>> Candace (34:52):
I'm going to make a post because I need to know because the fact
that, well, they actually say that sourdough actually
has a lower.
>> Tanorria (34:59):
Yes.
>> Candace (34:59):
Gluten index. I'm going to see.
>> Tanorria (35:02):
Yeah, sourdough,
actually kind of eats away
more of the gluten. So especially
people who need like a lower glycemic index or something
like that. Sourdough is the way to go.
>> Candace (35:16):
I'm about to. Yeah, I'm about to find it because
I. I need it. Like, I found a really good
gluten free bagel. I found a really
good gluten free hot dog bun.
>> Tanorria (35:29):
Oh, okay.
>> Candace (35:30):
Yeah. Like, I. And I. This is. They're not sliced. I actually eat
them like rolls. So I'll use these. Like.
>> Tanorria (35:35):
Yeah.
>> Candace (35:35):
yeah. But if I could have, like, I have this. I've
had the sourdough toast
at obviously a pat, A chew But I
want, like, what the crunch is what I'm missing
from when you toast sourdough. You know what I mean?
>> Tanorria (35:49):
Yeah.
>> Candace (35:49):
Ah, gluten free. You just don't get that crunch
like you want. So.
>> Tanorria (35:54):
Okay, so there's something you may want to
try. So with my sourdough, when I
make a loaf, we usually eat a piece
an hour after it's cooled with just butter and salt.
And then when we are just eating it, to be eating it, like with
breakfast or to make a sandwich or whatever, anything
beyond like a day or two old, we actually
(36:14):
run it underwater. We take a slice and we run the
slice underwater and just slightly wring it out and then
toast it in the oven and it makes it
crispy on the outside and fluffy in the middle.
So just try it. I don't know if it'll even work with gluten
free bread because it's a different texture. But
that is the best way to, like, maintain
(36:36):
your sourdough for its lifetime. Because
really, it's just two of us. Oftentimes I
make, a recipe that makes two loaves and I split
it between mine, my mom, his mom,
and my brother's household. but even knowing
we're only eating half a loaf, it's still hard for us to
go through it before. It's hard.
>> Candace (36:56):
Really?
>> Tanorria (36:58):
That water trick
works every time. I've not done
it with sourdough sandwich bread or sourdough
bagel. I've only done it with a classic sourdough
sourdough loaf. Gotcha.
>> Candace (37:11):
Gotcha.
>> Tanorria (37:12):
But it works. And it does. It makes it better, in
my opinion, because it's. Yeah,
girl. I made homemade Reuben sandwiches and I made
homemade sourdough with homemade corned beef.
So good.
>> Candace (37:26):
And that's my thing, I think, because someone was. I
had a, a sandwich the other day. I had a
club and it was made with Udi's gluten free
bread.
>> Tanorria (37:35):
Yeah.
>> Candace (37:36):
And it was really, really good. Somebody's like, I haven't seen you
eat a sandwich like this. Like,
so excited. I was like. Because I'm like, I'm a sandwich girly. Like,
I grew up on making a sandwich, right?
>> Tanorria (37:47):
Yeah.
>> Candace (37:48):
You know, I'm a cottage your kid. So what was clear doing? Always making a
hoagie. Right. So
being able to have a good sandwich is like one of the things I
miss the most. And so,
yeah, like, my thing now are like, bagels. Like, I found
a good gluten free bagel. And so my m trick
was, well, it's actually my wife's trick that I stole in
(38:08):
order to get them because they're a little bit bigger and
thicker. Because they're a little bit more
dense.
>> Tanorria (38:14):
Yeah.
>> Candace (38:15):
Put them in the air fryer.
>> Tanorria (38:16):
Yeah, I was just about to say that.
>> Candace (38:18):
Butter up and put them in the air fryer and then put your cream
cheese. Life changing. Life
changing. So I've been eating my fill in bagels. Like,
I eat pretty much a bagel a day and two
apples a day. And so that's like my
school snack.
>> Tanorria (38:34):
Yeah, yeah,
yeah.
>> Candace (38:37):
Well, I'm excited because I'm gonna. I'm gonna ask the. The sourdough
girl. Yeah.
>> Tanorria (38:41):
I feel like I saw one or two people say that
they were working on a gluten free starter. There's a girl on
Tick Tock that I've seen do gluten
free sourdough from start to finish. Like, she made her own
starter, she got it ready, and then
she made gluten free sourdough. So
you can start baking sourdough too, with all the time you
(39:03):
have.
>> Candace (39:04):
Right.
I. I actually am gonna. I am gonna bake.
I'm gonna try to bake some rolls because I. I've, I've
mastered gravy. Gluten free biscuits just
aren't. They're just not great. Like, no matter what you
do, because you need the gluten to get the layers.
>> Tanorria (39:21):
Yeah.
>> Candace (39:22):
If I could have like a roll, so I could have like a
roll and gravy, like, that would make me.
>> Tanorria (39:27):
Yeah. You know what? I can't find that recipe.
I made gluten free yeast
rolls years ago, and they were probably some
of the best rolls I've ever had. Not alone, just made.
I had to make them gluten free because a couple of guests that were
coming to my house were gluten free
and she asked for
(39:48):
the recipe and I was, It was like one random recipe I found on
Pinterest, but they were like soft and fluffy, like
regular rolls.
>> Candace (39:56):
Really?
>> Tanorria (39:57):
Yeah. And I, I don't know where that
recipe is. I'll try to look for it because I don't think I pinned
it. That's why I couldn't find it.
>> Candace (40:04):
Well, if you find it, let me know.
>> Tanorria (40:07):
I will.
>> Candace (40:08):
Let me know. Well, we hope we made you hungry
with this episode.
>> Tanorria (40:12):
I know, right? And we, we just love chatting
and we hope that you love hearing
us chat and connect and just our special
bond. We hope that it, like, makes you think
of someone else that you have
a special bond with.
>> Candace (40:27):
Yes. Yes. Like, it's so funny. Because,
like, I don't know if this happens to you, but
if I see someone that knows you and,
they've seen you, they'll say, hey, I saw it out here. You
know, like, it happens to me all the time. Or, like, my
friends that, like, know you or, like, live near, like I said.
So it just. Yeah, it makes me happy that they tell me that.
>> Tanorria (40:47):
I love it. It is kind of like you can't walk in a room without the
other. And I like, you know, in
professional settings, like in the corporate world, that would,
like, drive me nuts.
>> Candace (40:57):
Right?
>> Tanorria (40:57):
Especially because it'd be like, you know, white people thinking two
black women look alike or something. Right. We'll do it to us.
I'm like, yeah, of course I know what she's doing.
>> Candace (41:06):
Yeah.
>> Tanorria (41:06):
Oh, her.
>> Candace (41:07):
Right.
I'm like. Literally, I'm like, I know her. Like,
friend. I know her.
>> Tanorria (41:14):
Yeah. Yeah, that's great.
>> Candace (41:17):
Yeah. But this has been so much fun.
>> Tanorria (41:19):

Hello.
>> Tanorria (00:32):

>> Candace (00:35):
It's been so long. We've talked a million
times, but talked.
>> Tanorria (00:40):
We've seen, we've hugged. I know that's
important. but we have not been on these
airwaves. I don't
remember was. Yeah, yeah. But I don't
think we've actually like recorded an episode since October.
November.
>> Candace (00:55):
Yeah.
>> Tanorria (00:56):
Because we had stacked them up for the holidays. Take a break.
>> Candace (00:58):
Yeah. We did our good work before
break.
>> Tanorria (01:02):
Yeah. And we had ourselves a
little extended break. But we are not apologizing
for it.
>> Candace (01:08):
We're not. Because we are in our black women are
resting era. And I love that for us.
>> Tanorria (01:13):
I love that so much that I didn't get out of bed until
5pm.
>> Candace (01:18):
And that, my friends, is how it's done.
>> Tanorria (01:20):
No shame. You go on vacation and then you
come home and the day after vacation you just sleep all day because
it's in your own bed.
>> Candace (01:28):
And you. The catch up after
vacation. Like you actually need a vacation from your
vacation. Catch up 100.
It's so much like.
>> Tanorria (01:37):
Yes.
>> Candace (01:38):
even like, not even like thinking about like laundry and unpacking,
but just like just being home and. Yes.
>> Tanorria (01:43):
Like resetting your body.
>> Candace (01:45):
Yes.
>> Tanorria (01:45):
Yeah, it's a. I also need the day before
vacation.
>> Candace (01:50):
Yes.
>> Tanorria (01:50):
Because of the errand running, the packing, the getting the house.
Like I need to come home to a spotless house.
>> Candace (01:57):
So I'm the same way.
>> Tanorria (01:58):
Yeah. Like, we, we had our cleaning lady come a few days
before, but then it's like change all the
sheets and all that before you go. Yeah.
>> Candace (02:07):
I want to be able to come home and just dump my suitcase out and
just wash my vacation clothes.
>> Tanorria (02:12):
Girl, that is exactly. I came
home, got off that plane, I took a shower to wash the
plane off me and immediately crawled into bed.
>> Candace (02:20):
Yeah.
>> Tanorria (02:21):
Didn't have to worry about a thing.
>> Candace (02:23):
Yeah, that's. That's my only way. Like, I, I
don't vacation any other way now. Just my anxiety won't
let me do it any other way.
>> Tanorria (02:30):
Yeah. It's the feeling of being rushed and stuff. It's
not worth it.
>> Candace (02:34):
No, it's not. It's not at all.
Well, I'm so glad you all went on vacation. I can't
wait to Hear about it. but for those of you who are
tuning in for the very first time, welcome to Black Girls Eating.
I'm Candace.
>> Tanorria (02:47):
I'm Tanora.
>> Candace (02:49):
And we are a podcast about well
seasoned food, Black girl magic, justice, and all
things in between.
>> Tanorria (02:56):
All the things in between.
>> Candace (02:58):
I'm super excited about this season of Black Girls
Eating.
>> Tanorria (03:02):
You know, we are on our
four year anniversary. We've been
doing this for four years now.
we dreamed about it for a good year or two
priority. So it has been a labor of
love for five or six years.
>> Candace (03:19):
Yeah.
>> Tanorria (03:19):
and I have just
loved the molding
and the shaping and the twisting and the turning
of how we are choosing to let our
podcast evolve, like on our own terms.
There are great podcasts out there that are
steady and consistent, but we have
(03:40):
multiple jobs,
families with lots of needs
and still hanging in there and
fighting the good fight.
>> Candace (03:49):
Hanging in there, fighting a good fight. And yeah, so
maybe we do have a month or two where we have a
break, but we're still committed to
being able to put out good content. We're
still able to be able to connect with guests that we
know our listeners are going to love.
And I love the fact that we get to
(04:09):
tell stories and share just,
amazingness with people. And the
benefits are just overflowing. Right. Like we,
we hear people say, well, I heard this on your podcast and I never knew
that or it really touched my heart when so and so
said this. And I think to me that's the impact.
Right?
>> Tanorria (04:28):
Yeah. Yeah. I met with,
another DEI professional a couple weeks ago
just to have coffee and just kind of connect
and relate to all the things going on. And she was
quoting multiple episodes of our podcast to
me and I was like, I said that? Oh,
okay, cool, great. I need to go back and listen to
(04:48):
that.
>> Candace (04:48):
That is so funny.
>> Tanorria (04:50):
It was really cool. It was really cool.
So, yeah, Happy
anniversary, Fred.
>> Candace (04:57):
Yes. Happy anniversary to you. And I'm m super excited
that you and I get to still do this together. And
we love doing it with each other.
>> Tanorria (05:04):
Yes. Yeah. Sometimes I
get an itching like, okay, when are we, when are we gonna, when
are we gonna record? Just because I like spending time and
being in conversation with you and with our guests too.
>> Candace (05:16):
Yeah, absolutely.
>> Tanorria (05:21):
yeah, because it's a big deal and I'm proud of
it. So,
Black Girls Eating has been able
to secure an absolutely
amazing partner and
sponsor for the 2024,
2025 season. And,
not only are they supporting us and getting this
(05:44):
content out to you all for free. But
they are also supporting us in being able to connect
with you all publicly, in person,
live.
So, we are so excited to announce that
Black Girls Eating has a live
recording scheduled for
Saturday, March 22. Is it
(06:07):
Saturday or so?
>> Candace (06:08):
It is. It is.
>> Tanorria (06:09):
Okay, I know it's March 22nd. Saturday
at March. On March 22nd, at Christ
Church Cathedral, that church on the
circle that we all know and love. If you are a resident of
Indianapolis. and we are just
so honored to be in their space,
and to be in such a
(06:29):
central part of the community, to bring the community
together.
>> Candace (06:34):
Listen, I am so excited we finally
shared it on Social. And so many people were just like,
yes, like, finally, like, I. I feel like people have
been waiting for us to do a live show because they
remember how we used to moderate live panels
together and how we start. And so I
think, you know, it's one thing to hear us over the airwaves, but it's
just another thing when we're in the room together. It literally is
(06:56):
just. It's magical and it's electric and I am
so excited.
>> Tanorria (07:01):
You are absolutely right. I mean, you basically
just said our theme. Yeah.
Where when you're in the room together, there is magic.
And we, are going to
feature some really awesome community,
contributors to the Indianapolis area,
specifically women in the room. everyone
(07:21):
is welcome. Yeah, everybody's welcome. We want
to see your face. There's plenty of space
at Christchurch Cathedral, so come on out. This is a
free event. Emphasis
on free.
>> Candace (07:34):
3.99.
>> Tanorria (07:35):
So there is no excuse for you not to be in the
room. So we would absolutely
love to have you.
>> Candace (07:43):
Absolutely. So please, come one, come all.
>> Tanorria (07:46):
I wanna. I wanna hear about your life. What's been going
on, how are things?
>> Candace (07:52):
So the biggest thing, obviously,
is seminary. it's the
craziest, coolest thing I think
I've done outside of motherhood.
My brain breaks every day.
I'm reading so many different books that, like, they're all, like,
running together. but thank God for
(08:13):
Libby and thank God for,
Audible Books and
all those things. it's really cool. Like,
I've obviously, been writing a lot and just kind
of, like, exploring deeper stuff. I think
the next biggest thing is that, like, my
baby, baby is going to be 11
(08:34):
and way too.
>> Tanorria (08:35):
Close to being a teenager.
>> Candace (08:37):
And we are in all things swing right now. Like, we're
growing. We're, like, trying out makeup.
Oh, gosh. Yes. And, like, she is, like,
all about Ulta. And all about Sephora. And, like, I
remember being like that at, like, 16.
Yeah. She told me the other day that she
wants her birthday outfit
(08:57):
theme to be Y2K. And when I
tell you, I. Yes, I, said.
What do you mean, Y2K? She's like, you know, like, and
M. You have like, you know, like the baggy
pants with, like, the little mini skirt
over the M top. And like, I was like,
she's like, you know, like, you know, like 2000 styles look. I
(09:17):
was like, what? She's like, you know, like, you wear
like the army, like, pattern, but like,
in like, the color blue. I was like,
army fatigue. She's like, yeah, that. I was like,
oh, Mark. I was.
>> Tanorria (09:31):
How does she even know about this?
>> Candace (09:34):
The Internet girl?
>> Tanorria (09:38):
You are not wrong there.
>> Candace (09:40):
I was. She is just. It's so funny to, like, see all of
these things, like, come back around. And she's like, and if I can't
find that, I want bell bottom, pants. And just like,
it's just so funny. It's so. It's
hysterical. So that's probably like, where, like, where
I am happy and sad at the same time because my
baby. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
(10:00):
yeah. So what about you? I need to
know how my Emmy and my Ellis are
doing.
>> Tanorria (10:06):
Oh, my gosh. I just spent the last seven
days with them and it was so
fun. They are
hilarious. Ellis is one of
the Most advanced talking 2 year olds I've ever met.
>> Candace (10:20):
Yeah.
>> Tanorria (10:20):
like, full on conversations. Titi, what are you
doing? Oh, Ellis, I'm just hanging out sitting
next to you. Well, why? And he loves
to smack his forehead and go, you're kidding
me.
Oh, and Emmy is just the coolest five year
old. I mean, she's just so grown up. Like,
(10:41):
yeah. And I, I, every time I look at her,
I just think, gosh, you're gorgeous. Like, I can't
not look at her and just admire how beautiful she
is. But she's so, so smart and she remembers
everything. She will hold you accountable.
She will absolutely hold you accountable. But they
are so fun. I mean, I haven't
(11:02):
vacationed with Littles in a
long time, and it was, it was
a lot of fun. It is great birth control,
but. It's great birth
control. But it was also
so fun hanging out the pool with Emmy.
And, Ellis wasn't feeling the
(11:23):
sand at first, and then he was feeling it.
And they. Every time I'd walk out of them.
Where's Tay Tay? I'm like, can you be happy to see
me Please.
>> Candace (11:32):
Oh, my God. Isn't it crazy? It is
so crazy.
>> Tanorria (11:36):
There you just.
>> Candace (11:37):
Yeah. Well, I'm so glad,
number one, that they're doing well, because I just
think they're just little gems. I'm like, I literally, I'm like, I remember when
you were born. Like, I love this.
>> Tanorria (11:48):
Yes.
>> Candace (11:49):
Yeah. I love that you all went on vacation together.
Like, to me, that's like a dream thing.
Like, my family, like, we took vacations, but, like, now,
like, as an adult, like, we haven't done that as a family.
>> Tanorria (12:00):
Right. This was our first time. Well, my brother
and I went on vacation with my mom and dad.
Gosh. Like,
2017,
2016,
2014 or something like
that. and this is the first time since then.
And it was me and my brother going on
(12:21):
vacation as adults with our families.
And that was really cool. Yeah, that
was really, really cool.
>> Candace (12:28):
So you have to tell me about all the, all the good stuff. Tell me what was one
of the best meals you ate. Because I, I. There's
a story here, and I've been waiting on you to tell it on air because I
want the people to hear.
>> Tanorria (12:38):
It was stunning. We went to
Kamal, which is a Michelin
recommended. Recommended. It's
not Michel. It's, like, right under Michelin star. It's
Michelin recommended. and this
was really tay and I's like, Valentine's meal. We
didn't do anything for Valentine's because we knew we were gonna
go and do this in Cabo.
(13:00):
And, it
was amazing. Like, this fatty
tuna crudo with caviar,
short rib tacos, grilled
oysters that had, like, this smoky umami
situation in it. I have this
amazing. I don't think it was sea bass. I don't remember what
fish it was. They talked me out of the sea bass into a different fish,
(13:23):
and it was delicious. He had this really good
filet dish, homemade churros with Mexican
hot chocolate. And they served it in clay
mugs and brought it out in a clay carafe and, like,
whipped it in front of you.
It was amazing.
>> Candace (13:38):
They can't see me, but I'm drooling.
>> Tanorria (13:40):
Yeah, the. The view was amazing. The
restaurant, like, and it was like that Michelin rated
service. Like, there are a lot of restaurants that
are Michelin awarded, and they deserve
it because their food is phenomenal. But when you go
to one that's not a hole in a wall,
that has amazing food, but it's a fine
dining experience.
>> Candace (14:01):
Yeah.
>> Tanorria (14:02):
So you get the service on top of it.
Like, everything was sure Mrs. Nixon. Sure.
I'm like, just go ahead, just.
>> Candace (14:10):
Yes, I love that. And you know, that's the
thing. I think that like what I
appreciate about my friendship with
you, just like being married to my wife,
like we appreciate good food,
great food experiences and like,
honestly, especially like at our age and at our stage in life, we're
like, I don't care that this is how much the meal
(14:33):
is. Like, I want it and I, I deserve it and I'm
going to enjoy it.
>> Tanorria (14:37):
Yep. What's funny is when
we, you know, started making
activity plans for Cabo,
I, my sister in law sent me like
this Instagram reel of all these different
Michelin rated restaurants. And so
I looked up all of them and I made two different
reservations. And my brother, he does not eat to live. He
(14:59):
lives to eat or he does not live to eat, he eats to
live. Like he would eat chicken nuggets and pizza every day
and be like, I am nourished, I am fine. Move on. And a
cheeseburger.
>> Candace (15:08):
Really?
>> Tanorria (15:09):
Yeah. And it's weird because everyone in my
family, like my m, my mom, me, even my
dad, we all love, loved food.
>> Candace (15:17):
That's why I'm shocked.
>> Tanorria (15:18):
Yeah. So he is like, he's a picky eater,
he wants what he wants. So when I made the reservations,
I told my husband I was and I told my sister in law, I was like, look,
I have two reservations. You two pick
who's going to one with me.
But, I'm going to both.
The first night, my husband and I, we
(15:39):
went to Kamal and then my sister
in law, we went to a Cray
and it was so beautiful. It was like sitting in a
jungle. Everything is outdoor seating
and open restaurant style. But you don't
worry about the bugs and all that. It's not, I don't know what
they do to repel them, but it works.
(15:59):
and it was just so beautiful. The most amazing crab cake with like
a grapefruit type gastri.
It was so good.
>> Candace (16:07):
You had me at citrus and seafood.
>> Tanorria (16:09):
Right. It was so good. So yeah,
the food was amazing. I actually tried to
video as much as I can. I need to put a little reel
together or something.
but yeah, I. And there's many, many, many, many,
many, many more restaurants that I would love
to go to.
>> Candace (16:28):
Yeah, yeah. Well,
that you had me at. Hello. We need to figure out this
Black girls eating takes the city and like.
>> Tanorria (16:36):
Go and like eat because we have a few.
Like we could do Nashville. Yeah, I
will do New Orleans any day, anytime.
>> Candace (16:44):
we favorite City.
>> Tanorria (16:46):
So it's mine too. Yeah.
>> Candace (16:50):
Couple. Yeah. Like, our favorite city as a
couple is Nashville, but her favorite cities.
New Orleans.
>> Tanorria (16:57):
Yeah.
>> Candace (16:58):
Yeah, we need to, like, figure that.
>> Tanorria (17:00):
Out and like, do. What's it. Oh,
gosh, our, podcast
guest. Crap. Amethyst. Not. Is it
Amethyst?
>> Candace (17:09):
It is, Amethyst. Yeah, we need
to go.
>> Tanorria (17:12):
That. We need to go.
>> Candace (17:13):
We need to go to Charleston. Yeah, yeah.
>> Tanorria (17:16):
yeah, we can go to Cabo
and hit up our continent.
>> Candace (17:24):
I'm here for it.
>> Tanorria (17:25):
Do all them things we got.
>> Candace (17:26):
Ah, we got. And the thing is, we have a few,
like, options, right. Where people have
said, hey, come do this. You know, I want to support you
to do this, but, like, y'all don't play around with us.
Like, we're serious about traveling and eating.
>> Tanorria (17:41):
We will absolutely show up where the food is.
>> Candace (17:43):
We will come, like, don't play with us.
>> Tanorria (17:47):
Yeah, it was.
>> Candace (17:48):
Yeah, I can see it now. Black girls eating live.
Like, for real. For real eating live.
>> Tanorria (17:54):
That would be fun.
>> Candace (17:55):
Put me in a. Put me in a nice warm
balcony with some waves
and a margarita. Like, yeah, yeah, give
it to me. A flowy dress. Yeah.
>> Tanorria (18:06):
Or we can turn the food tour part into like
YouTube. Yeah.
I mean, wherever we go, David goes. So it could be done.
>> Candace (18:14):
Exactly, exactly, exactly. And I feel like the
people want it because they keep asking that. That is our
number one question.
Yeah, that's our number one questions.
>> Tanorria (18:25):
Like, guys, but I appreciate
and respect and love lovey. Ajay
Jones.
>> Candace (18:31):
Yes.
>> Tanorria (18:32):
Because she posted, I think I saw it on her
LinkedIn, but she also posted it
on one of them others
about, not
every podcast needs to be video based.
>> Candace (18:45):
Yes.
>> Tanorria (18:46):
You really did, like, talk about how it
is not cheap, it costs money, it
takes resources. And putting out just
a podcast in general is already
a lot. So then to add, that video component.
And you all have to understand that we as black girls
eating, we sat on this for a year and a half,
(19:07):
two years. We wanted to
be a quality podcast.
>> Candace (19:11):
Right.
>> Tanorria (19:12):
Not want to just throw up an episode that we recorded on our
phones and said, hey, we have a podcast. And
so that took time and it took
resources. And so, like, it would be the same
process with something video based. It
would take. It would put love and care into it
to make sure that it's quality. So.
>> Candace (19:32):
And like, I don't think people realize that,
like,
one facet takes this much
time. Adding video
is a whole nother ball game. Right. Because there's so much
you have to optimize for. And. And now with all the changes
that are happening on all of the algorithms, like,
it's. You have. It's just a lot.
>> Tanorria (19:55):
Yep. Yeah. Yeah.
That's another thing is, like, Candace
and I have always been committed to, building
any kind of following we have, whether it's individually
or collaboratively, as organically as
possible.
>> Candace (20:10):
Yeah.
>> Tanorria (20:10):
And because of that, our followings don't grow
a lot or rapidly.
>> Candace (20:15):
Yeah.
>> Tanorria (20:16):
And so we have to make sure we have the following to support
us. Going all around, like, y two or three people telling
us we love you for it and we believe you and we see you, and it
really does encourage and empower us. But we need, like, two,
three times 100 people to tell us.
>> Candace (20:31):
Yeah.
>> Tanorria (20:32):
Or to be lucrative.
>> Candace (20:33):
Right, Right. And I don't. I really just don't think that,
like, people believe us when
we tell them that.
>> Tanorria (20:40):
Yeah. Yeah.
Hey, friends, it's Tanria. my first ever
cookbook is Staples +5 is available wherever
cookbooks are sold. It was voted one of the best cookbooks
in 2020 by glamourmagazine.com you
can purchase it at tenoriastable.com books
and make sure to tell me what your favorite recipe is.
>> Candace (21:00):
Hey, y'all. It's Candice the spice slinger. Here
is your food. Bland, unseasoned.
Let's spice it up with seasonings from Foodlov Talk.
Catch me
online@foodlovedtalk.com
Be seasoned, y'all.
>> Tanorria (21:15):
Speaking of, supporters and audiences
and lucrativeness,
make sure that you all are, supporting our
Patreon, if you're interested.
>> Candace (21:25):
Yeah.
>> Tanorria (21:26):
It's still alive and
slowly active. Now that we are back on the airwaves,
it will be. Become more active.
but that is a way to help us keep doing this
work. So, you can go to
patreon.com blackgirlseating and get more
information. You don't have to be a paid subscriber.
You can just be a part of it. But to get all the perks and the
(21:48):
benefits and the different tiers, I think
what we have one as low as $5 a month. Yeah.
>> Candace (21:54):
Yeah, yeah.
Or I mean, m. Really, like, like,
honestly, like, people like, y'all don't
know how much, like, that really helps podcasters, like,
stay afloat.
>> Tanorria (22:06):
Like, seriously, like, absolutely.
>> Candace (22:08):
Podcasting is expensive, and
there's so many other things that
people don't think about when it comes to building a
podcast.
>> Tanorria (22:18):
Yeah.
>> Candace (22:19):
So you know that $5, $10 a month, it really does
help.
>> Tanorria (22:22):
So thank you, thank you, thank you. It does
And I've even seen, especially when it comes to black
creators like ourselves, if you want
to support, other people in
accessing quality black content,
you can buy someone a Patreon membership.
Someone's done it for me in the past.
>> Candace (22:41):
Yeah.
>> Tanorria (22:42):
so I know that we have a lot
of non black listeners out there. Thank you.
We love you. We appreciate you, and we
appreciate your support. But if you're like, how can I
support someone else in the community?
Show it with your dollars. And one of those ways is
maybe buying scholarship a Patreon
membership of black girls eating. So.
>> Candace (23:04):
Yep. Absolutely.
>> Tanorria (23:08):
What do we have in store, friend? What's. What. What's. What's
happening?
>> Candace (23:12):
So I think that people are
obviously going to want to know, like, where we stand on a
couple of issues.
>> Tanorria (23:19):
Yeah.
>> Candace (23:21):
In this season. So, as you know, our
first. Our first foray into this is always going to be
centering black and brown voices. So that's
not going to stop. But we're going to get some heavy
hitters on our show this
season, and we're going to branch out into some
things that maybe take us off the beaten path.
But I think we have a
(23:43):
duty to share the truth
and to support those who we know are going to need
it, especially as we look at what 2025
and the rest of the next couple of years look like.
and we're going to keep doing that. I told people that we're going
to continue to do the work until we can't anymore. So
that's where we are.
>> Tanorria (24:02):
Yeah. And I.
It's real hard to have hope, but you kind
of have no choice but to. Like, if you don't, then
what? I have
hope that we will continue to be
able to do the work as safely as
humanly possible. Like, it won't go away.
(24:22):
We'll just have to continue to be creative,
innovative, resilient black women. That we
are absolutely be able to keep doing it.
>> Candace (24:31):
Absolutely.
>> Tanorria (24:32):
But as Candice said at the start of
this, episode, we are in our
era of resting. And that is what we have been
doing, is not being quiet
intentionally, but, being quiet
strategically. because we have to take care
of ourselves. And we hope that you all are finding
ways to be strategic in
(24:55):
your care, and being
mindful of your surroundings and
your community. because it really, like,
you know, growing up, you heard it takes a
village to raise a child, or you heard
the terms, you know, we're all we've got, man.
Do I not understand that? Better now than ever.
>> Candace (25:15):
Yeah.
>> Tanorria (25:16):
Because of the times that we're in.
>> Candace (25:19):
Absolutely. Absolutely. And I love it
because there's so many black women that I follow on various
platforms, and the theme I have been
seeing all year has been rest,
rest, Rest. And, as someone who. It
took them a very long time to understand, like, the
concept of, like, why resting was
important. Yeah. I'm in it
(25:41):
now. And, like, now, like, I know, like, the minute I feel
it coming on, m. Like, okay, let me go take a
beat.
>> Tanorria (25:47):
Uh-huh.
>> Candace (25:48):
You know, and I think if more
of us did that, we would be better off.
>> Tanorria (25:53):
Yeah.
>> Candace (25:54):
So I'm. I'm with it. I'm fully committed. I'm leaning. I'm
leaning into rest, and I'm fully leaning into black
joy.
>> Tanorria (26:01):
Amen to that. Right there with you.
okay, so I have
a couple of questions that I think might be fun
if we try to be intentional about asking these maybe
every episode or ish.
>> Candace (26:15):
Okay.
>> Tanorria (26:16):
Ourselves or to our guests. what black
brand are you is giving you life right
now?
>> Candace (26:23):
always. the lip bar.
I found a whole little mini
situation because I was thinking about moving
away from Boss Lady. Oh,
I know, right? Like, Boss lady is my one. Like, I had.
I had a Boss lady on today, and I found a couple of little
mini that I could try. And so, since
(26:44):
I am not going to Target, I haven't been in
32 days. So.
>> Tanorria (26:49):
Proud of you.
>> Candace (26:49):
thank you. It has been a struggle. but I
tried it, and I loved. I love Rich Auntie.
>> Tanorria (26:55):
Is that. See, that is almost my
favorite.
>> Candace (26:59):
Okay.
>> Tanorria (26:59):
Sometimes I think I love Rich Auntie better than Boss
Lady.
>> Candace (27:03):
Really?
>> Tanorria (27:03):
I feel like Boss lady is more like my fall winter.
Auntie is my spring summer.
>> Candace (27:09):
Yes. And so I figured that out. I was like, oh, why do I like
this one so much more now? Because, like, the weather right now kind of
feels springy. And so I tried Rich. I was like, oh, this is
it. I wear that. So, like, of
course, like, the lip bar, like, I just feel like it
just. It's incredible. It is incredible.
And what they've been able to do
(27:29):
for black women, I mean,
you don't understand the importance of being able to find a
makeup shade that actually looks good on you until you go down the
aisle. And everything else washes you out. Everything else
is too pasty for you. And so being able to go and to
know that there is a shade that's going to match me
is just. Yeah. So far
(27:50):
for me. What about you?
>> Tanorria (27:52):
I'm just going to piggyback off of
what you said as far as representation in
beauty, I. I promise not
all of our recommendations are going to be all makeup, but I
am, like, obsessed with Danessa Myricks right
now.
>> Candace (28:07):
Mm.
>> Tanorria (28:08):
she is a black owned makeup brand, and her
tinted moisturizer is the
everyday makeup that I don't want but didn't
know I needed. Like, I am not an everyday makeup person.
I just don't wear makeup every day.
But I feel like I've gotten to the age
where a little bit. A little pick
(28:29):
me up doesn't hurt. And
just, you know, feeling a little brighter every
day with a little makeup is fun to me right now.
And so I tried a few tinted moisturizers,
like, CeraVe and
SuperGoop. There was another
brand I tried, and they were okay, but I still
felt like almost that that sunscreen cast.
(28:52):
That black girl sunscreen does not give you
all team black girl sunscreen on vacation in Cabo.
I mean, I'm team them every day, but, Danessa
Myricks, her tinted moisturizer is,
like, textured beautifully.
It just sinks and melts into your
skin. her blushes are so
(29:12):
pigmented, but also, like,
blend so beautifully. And, like, I thought I was
not that big of a blush girly, honestly, until
MasterChef and the makeup artists were like, no, honey, you're a
blush girly. Like, m. You can put any color on
your skin. And you can.
>> Candace (29:28):
Yes, you can. You absolutely can. Like,
I could see you, like, rocking an orange. Oh, my God.
>> Tanorria (29:34):
that is exactly what the ladies. The ladies at MasterChef, I
actually threw it away recently. I've had it since 2016.
Because she's like, I don't use this this much, but this is
your color. You need to take it to me.
I don't. I don't know what brand it was, but it was an
orange. Yep. Yeah, like a,
What's the shade of orange? I'm thinking a coral.
>> Candace (29:53):
A coral. I knew you were gonna say coral. Yes.
>> Tanorria (29:56):
Yep.
>> Candace (29:56):
Yes. I love that.
>> Tanorria (29:58):
Vanessa Myricks. I don't know
if she's exclusively at Sephora, but I've bought
her through Sephora because the
black girl at Sephora, Nina, is the only person I
trust with makeup recommendations. And she told me about
her, and I get Danessa Myricks.
Yeah.
>> Candace (30:16):
Okay, I'm gonna try it because I wear a tinted
moisturizer slash, like BB cream.
That's what I wear every day. Because I'm not an everyday full
face girl either.
>> Tanorria (30:26):
Yeah.
>> Candace (30:26):
But I'm Gonna try that. Because the one I love, I
think as my skin is aging, as I,
you know, dig deeper into perimenopause, like, I.
I need something else.
>> Tanorria (30:36):
Yeah, yeah, give her a try.
And then my
other question is, what is bringing you
joy right now?
>> Candace (30:50):
What's bringing me joy?
So, threads.
I love this community that
has been built on threads. Right. Like,
especially, like right around after the
election and all the. All these black women were like, I'm in the
(31:11):
92%. But, like,
so I joined a couple of, like,
groups, like black married couples
group, like black, you know, like,
black made lesbian groups, like black,
you know, reader groups. And so, like, being able to,
like, tap in and say, hey, I read this book. Or like,
get, you know, recommendations or get advice. I
(31:33):
just, I love it because I've literally been able to
connect with people that are right here in the city and I had no clue.
Oh, wow. Yeah. And so it's just. It's been really,
really good to be able to connect that way.
I've got. I've added so many books to my
library. Like, I cannot
buy another book for my shelf.
Like, I'm completely out. because you know me, like, I'm a book girly. Like, I
(31:56):
love my, my digital books, but I love
actual holding books in my hand. So that's kind of
been my fun part.
>> Tanorria (32:04):
Okay.
>> Candace (32:05):
What is reading?
>> Tanorria (32:05):
I know that about three. You have to teach me how to use threads,
girl.
>> Candace (32:09):
Yeah, it's. It's really, it's really fun. It's
really fun.
>> Tanorria (32:12):
I'm on there and I jump in there from time to time. And
usually it's. I've jumped in there because either you or
Melanie Allen have tagged me in something. Oh, I need to see
that. But other than that, I don't really spend
time in there and I need to.
>> Candace (32:26):
Yeah, it's fun. I mean, because, you know, we're all trying to pull away
from. From Twitter, so.
>> Tanorria (32:30):
Right, right. I've deleted the app. I need to
actually delete my account because that is the safer way to do
things.
>> Candace (32:36):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So what is bringing you joy, my friend?
>> Tanorria (32:42):
I have three things.
They're the things I always talk about.
Wicked. It is a
ridiculous. I just got done reading the 20
hour long audiobook of Wicked.
>> Candace (32:55):
Really?
>> Tanorria (32:56):
I have the next one, Son of a
Witch, reserved.
They are coming out with a new one in March,
Elphaba, that I pre
ordered.
>> Candace (33:08):
Okay.
>> Tanorria (33:09):
and my best friend Jody and I got tickets to
go see Wicked here. So you're going you're
going.
>> Candace (33:17):
Okay.
>> Tanorria (33:18):
right before New Year's,
my husband bought me Wicked on Prime.
And so I watch it at least twice a week.
>> Candace (33:26):
Really?
>> Tanorria (33:27):
Yeah. It's ridiculous. I listen to the soundtrack every time
I'm in the shower. If I wasn't listening to the audiobook, I was listening
to the soundtrack.
>> Candace (33:34):
That is so. I. I love this for
you, Maddie. Maddie's fully
obsessed with that and Hamilton right now.
>> Tanorria (33:43):
Oh, yes, ma'am. Yes, she is
in her.
>> Candace (33:46):
She's like. Like, we were heading to her basketball game.
She's like, mom, I really need to listen to Hamilton right now.
I was like, okay. Girly, like music.
She's all about it.
>> Tanorria (33:57):
Yeah.
>> Candace (33:57):
And then like, so, like, explaining to her that Lin Manuel is the
same person that did Encanto.
>> Tanorria (34:02):
Yeah. And songs from Moana.
>> Candace (34:04):
Yeah. And I was. So I told her. She was like, wait, what?
Yeah, it's the same person.
>> Tanorria (34:09):
She's like, oh, my God,
I love it. Yeah, I love it.
So, yeah. Wicked is literally my
dopamine hit right now. And then
my black women sourdough group on
Facebook.
>> Candace (34:24):
Let me just tell you, I'm so.
>> Tanorria (34:26):
Proud of my little group.
>> Candace (34:27):
I love the black women
sourdough group. I can't even eat sourdough,
but I'm in there looking at people's bread like.
Like somebody made like a cinnamon one the other day and I was like, I
would eat all of that. Like, it looks so good.
>> Tanorria (34:43):
I think there's a couple of gluten free girlies in there.
>> Candace (34:46):
You know, I'm going to make a post.
>> Tanorria (34:48):
You should, because I think there are some gluten free
girlies in there.
>> Candace (34:52):
I'm going to make a post because I need to know because the fact
that, well, they actually say that sourdough actually
has a lower.
>> Tanorria (34:59):
Yes.
>> Candace (34:59):
Gluten index. I'm going to see.
>> Tanorria (35:02):
Yeah, sourdough,
actually kind of eats away
more of the gluten. So especially
people who need like a lower glycemic index or something
like that. Sourdough is the way to go.
>> Candace (35:16):
I'm about to. Yeah, I'm about to find it because
I. I need it. Like, I found a really good
gluten free bagel. I found a really
good gluten free hot dog bun.
>> Tanorria (35:29):
Oh, okay.
>> Candace (35:30):
Yeah. Like, I. And I. This is. They're not sliced. I actually eat
them like rolls. So I'll use these. Like.
>> Tanorria (35:35):
Yeah.
>> Candace (35:35):
yeah. But if I could have, like, I have this. I've
had the sourdough toast
at obviously a pat, A chew But I
want, like, what the crunch is what I'm missing
from when you toast sourdough. You know what I mean?
>> Tanorria (35:49):
Yeah.
>> Candace (35:49):
Ah, gluten free. You just don't get that crunch
like you want. So.
>> Tanorria (35:54):
Okay, so there's something you may want to
try. So with my sourdough, when I
make a loaf, we usually eat a piece
an hour after it's cooled with just butter and salt.
And then when we are just eating it, to be eating it, like with
breakfast or to make a sandwich or whatever, anything
beyond like a day or two old, we actually
(36:14):
run it underwater. We take a slice and we run the
slice underwater and just slightly wring it out and then
toast it in the oven and it makes it
crispy on the outside and fluffy in the middle.
So just try it. I don't know if it'll even work with gluten
free bread because it's a different texture. But
that is the best way to, like, maintain
(36:36):
your sourdough for its lifetime. Because
really, it's just two of us. Oftentimes I
make, a recipe that makes two loaves and I split
it between mine, my mom, his mom,
and my brother's household. but even knowing
we're only eating half a loaf, it's still hard for us to
go through it before. It's hard.
>> Candace (36:56):
Really?
>> Tanorria (36:58):
That water trick
works every time. I've not done
it with sourdough sandwich bread or sourdough
bagel. I've only done it with a classic sourdough
sourdough loaf. Gotcha.
>> Candace (37:11):
Gotcha.
>> Tanorria (37:12):
But it works. And it does. It makes it better, in
my opinion, because it's. Yeah,
girl. I made homemade Reuben sandwiches and I made
homemade sourdough with homemade corned beef.
So good.
>> Candace (37:26):
And that's my thing, I think, because someone was. I
had a, a sandwich the other day. I had a
club and it was made with Udi's gluten free
bread.
>> Tanorria (37:35):
Yeah.
>> Candace (37:36):
And it was really, really good. Somebody's like, I haven't seen you
eat a sandwich like this. Like,
so excited. I was like. Because I'm like, I'm a sandwich girly. Like,
I grew up on making a sandwich, right?
>> Tanorria (37:47):
Yeah.
>> Candace (37:48):
You know, I'm a cottage your kid. So what was clear doing? Always making a
hoagie. Right. So
being able to have a good sandwich is like one of the things I
miss the most. And so,
yeah, like, my thing now are like, bagels. Like, I found
a good gluten free bagel. And so my m trick
was, well, it's actually my wife's trick that I stole in
(38:08):
order to get them because they're a little bit bigger and
thicker. Because they're a little bit more
dense.
>> Tanorria (38:14):
Yeah.
>> Candace (38:15):
Put them in the air fryer.
>> Tanorria (38:16):
Yeah, I was just about to say that.
>> Candace (38:18):
Butter up and put them in the air fryer and then put your cream
cheese. Life changing. Life
changing. So I've been eating my fill in bagels. Like,
I eat pretty much a bagel a day and two
apples a day. And so that's like my
school snack.
>> Tanorria (38:34):
Yeah, yeah,
yeah.
>> Candace (38:37):
Well, I'm excited because I'm gonna. I'm gonna ask the. The sourdough
girl. Yeah.
>> Tanorria (38:41):
I feel like I saw one or two people say that
they were working on a gluten free starter. There's a girl on
Tick Tock that I've seen do gluten
free sourdough from start to finish. Like, she made her own
starter, she got it ready, and then
she made gluten free sourdough. So
you can start baking sourdough too, with all the time you
(39:03):
have.
>> Candace (39:04):
Right.
I. I actually am gonna. I am gonna bake.
I'm gonna try to bake some rolls because I. I've, I've
mastered gravy. Gluten free biscuits just
aren't. They're just not great. Like, no matter what you
do, because you need the gluten to get the layers.
>> Tanorria (39:21):
Yeah.
>> Candace (39:22):
If I could have like a roll, so I could have like a
roll and gravy, like, that would make me.
>> Tanorria (39:27):
Yeah. You know what? I can't find that recipe.
I made gluten free yeast
rolls years ago, and they were probably some
of the best rolls I've ever had. Not alone, just made.
I had to make them gluten free because a couple of guests that were
coming to my house were gluten free
and she asked for
(39:48):
the recipe and I was, It was like one random recipe I found on
Pinterest, but they were like soft and fluffy, like
regular rolls.
>> Candace (39:56):
Really?
>> Tanorria (39:57):
Yeah. And I, I don't know where that
recipe is. I'll try to look for it because I don't think I pinned
it. That's why I couldn't find it.
>> Candace (40:04):
Well, if you find it, let me know.
>> Tanorria (40:07):
I will.
>> Candace (40:08):
Let me know. Well, we hope we made you hungry
with this episode.
>> Tanorria (40:12):
I know, right? And we, we just love chatting
and we hope that you love hearing
us chat and connect and just our special
bond. We hope that it, like, makes you think
of someone else that you have
a special bond with.
>> Candace (40:27):
Yes. Yes. Like, it's so funny. Because,
like, I don't know if this happens to you, but
if I see someone that knows you and,
they've seen you, they'll say, hey, I saw it out here. You
know, like, it happens to me all the time. Or, like, my
friends that, like, know you or, like, live near, like I said.
So it just. Yeah, it makes me happy that they tell me that.
>> Tanorria (40:47):
I love it. It is kind of like you can't walk in a room without the
other. And I like, you know, in
professional settings, like in the corporate world, that would,
like, drive me nuts.
>> Candace (40:57):
Right?
>> Tanorria (40:57):
Especially because it'd be like, you know, white people thinking two
black women look alike or something. Right. We'll do it to us.
I'm like, yeah, of course I know what she's doing.
>> Candace (41:06):
Yeah.
>> Tanorria (41:06):
Oh, her.
>> Candace (41:07):
Right.
I'm like. Literally, I'm like, I know her. Like,
friend. I know her.
>> Tanorria (41:14):
Yeah. Yeah, that's great.
>> Candace (41:17):
Yeah. But this has been so much fun.
