Hey everybody, it's host Molly, and I'm here to say that spilled milk stands with Minnesota.

All across the state of Minnesota, ICE continues to stop, harass, and detain people,

regardless of their citizenship status. This is not okay. You can join us in supporting the good

people of Minnesota by going to standwithminnesota.com, where they've got a

fantastic directory of places to donate to activists on the ground. So no matter where you live,

you can make a difference in supporting people in the fight against tyranny in Minnesota.

Thanks so much. And again, join us in visiting

standwithminnesota.com.

I'm Matthew. And I'm Molly. And this is spilled milk, the show where we cook something

delicious, eat it all, and you can't have any. Today, we are talking about Japanese pickles. Yes, this was suggested by listener Talia. Thank you, listener Talia.
