Diwali for many desi families is easily one of the busiest time the year. With multiple cultural and religious events, it’s also a popular time to host dinner parties and gatherings. And while planning a menu can already seem like tedious work, the addition of food allergies and restrictions can make it feel quite frustrating. The addition of nuts and creams in popular South Asian party foods is rampant and we wanted to share some ways on how to plan a desi dinner party when guests have food restrictions.

I know a Brett Kavanaugh, and I bet you do too.

Brett Kavanaugh is the guy you grew up with next door, went to high school with, but in the absolute worst way possible. Yeah, I have my Kavanaugh. I’m sure you do too.

He’s the kind of guy that seems kinda Christian, kind of mild-mannered, kind of sweet, kind of cute. Enough to make you relax your shoulders when you pass him on the street or in the classroom hallways. He’ll always nod his head in recognition of your presence, almost in a way to let you know he sees you… but not enough. This nod is enough to make you feel like you desire his approval, but you don’t know that yet. Yeah, I have my Kavanaugh, I bet you do too.

He has a sixth sense, a cruel testament to his intelligence, of where he can diagnose weaknesses in a woman, and know what to say and do. I never had to say a word to my Kavanaugh about my low point, he already knew. Uncanny but strangely sensitive. It first feels like a blanket of warm comfort but slowly changes but you fail to listen to your instincts. I know a Brett Kavanaugh, and I bet you do too.
