A Blessed 2025 to all the Sunday Buffet listeners and viewers! We’ve got murderers (and fake martyrs) in the Salad Bar and the Magi (“wise men”) in the Omelet Station.

The episode went a few minutes longer this week, with some extra news and analysis I wanted to present in the Salad bar. Tell me if it was worth it: Did you like the wordier Salad Bar? (It won’t hurt my feelings if you say “no”; I appreciate honesty 😇)
