On the Gulf Coast, hurricane season has been quiet.
Eerily quiet.
I went to Iowa, La. (pronounced Eye-oh-way) and other communities still scarred by storms. The calm is bringing anything but comfort.

Finland’s Prime Minister @MarinSanna is in the headlines after a video of her partying was leaked today.
She has previously been criticized for attending too many music festivals & spending too much on partying instead of ruling.
The critics say it’s not fitting for a PM.

I’m looking for sources who can talk about boiled peanuts (seasoning, when/how they’re served, etc).
Not just in the US South, though here too, but each of the many places they appear in the world.
If that’s you, please reach out!
