Hello, everyone.
You're listening to After Hours.
I'm Felix.
I'm Mihir.
And it's our year end episode.
Yes, one of my favorite ones.
Time for us to look back and think about what happened.
The best stories of the year.
Maybe some things that didn't work out so well.
Indeed.
Well, I can tell you already who the winner is.
What do you mean?
Like the best story?
No, no, the more important competition, which is it's actually a three way tie.
There was the parsnip hummus, there was the brioche Savaran.
Oh, and there were the rum cookies.
So all three of those from the annual Felix and Lisa shindig, which was last night, were amazing.
Oh, thank you.
And you know, it's the first time that I made the parsnip pineapple hummus, which I guess is a contradiction in terms because hummus is chickpeas and so it doesn't have chickpeas.
But if anyone ever wants to try that, you boil the parsnips and then they substitute for the chickpeas.
