Episode Description: Jessica B. Harris may have been born and raised in New York City, but she has Tennessee roots through her father and has spent much of her life split between homes in the Northeast and the South – specifically New Orleans. For more than fifty years, she has been a college professor, a writer, and a lecturer, and her many books have earned her a reputation as an authority on food of the African Diaspora, as well as a lifetime achievement award from the James Beard Foundation. A few years back, Netflix adapted her book, High on the Hog: A Culinary Journey from Africa to America , into a 4 part docuseries. And I’m very proud to say that she’s a longtime contributor to Southern Living with a regular column called The Welcome Table. This episode was recorded in the Southern Living Birmingham studios, and Sid and Jessica talked about her mother’s signature mac and cheese, the cast-iron skillet she’d be sure to save if ever her house were on fire, and her dear friend, the late New Orleans chef Leah Chase.

FormKit and Hot Takes (with Justin Schroeder) 1:25:48

Together with the FormKit author Justin Schroeder, Michael and Alex discuss the challenges of building forms on the internet. While it seems like a simple task, forms can be complex and pretty time-consuming. Especially when it is more than a Newsletter or Contact Form. Justin shares his experience building FormKit (multiple times), a form library for Vue.js, and how it can help developers build forms faster and more efficiently. From Accessibility to actually covering edge cases such as form hydration and repopulation! Of course, we couldn't let Justin go without talking about some of his hot takes from Vue in 2024, over to Vapor Mode, and Tailwind. Enjoy the episode!
