Welcome to "Shared Spaces: Tales from Roommates and Kitchens," where we explore the hilarious, heartfelt, and sometimes chaotic world of living with housemates. In this first episode, join me, Grace, as I share two personal stories: my first encounter with my roommate Jassi, and an unforgettable cooking mishap we now call "The Great Burn." Tune in for some laughs, lessons, and tips on cohabiting and kitchen adventures.

Episode Highlights:
- The First Encounter: My initial worries and eventual relief in meeting my roommate, Jassi.
- The Great Burn: A spicy cooking disaster that taught us a lot about communication and spice tolerance.

Don't forget to share your own roommate stories with me—I might just feature them in a future episode!
