It finally snowed here A little bit about my workwork RABBIT RABBIT RABBIT I have a new computer and none of my settings are the same so I keep having to switch back to the old computer that is overheating and has a bad keyboard to record and upload the podcast Now that I've been doing this a year and over 50 episodes, we're calling it: SideCar is now in its SECOND SEASON and I'd like...

Did you know that I've been doing this podcast for a year? Well, the combined Two Chocolate Cakes and the SideCar podcast.  In this episode: What's going on with the weather and my garden; the perils of a part time legislature; wondering about sweet potatoes (did you have them growing up if you grew up north of the Mason Dixon line?) and more.    Also, my owls are back! 

Alert! 🚨 ‼️ 🔔  Do Not Forget!  Wednesday Morning: Rabbit 🐇 🐰  And if you forget--don't tell me about it. I do not want to know.  Wrap up of Food Holidays for All of February and there are some goodies!  Two really good meals I had this week and I tell you all about them.  Also it is Blood Orange Season so it is time to make Blood Orange Marmalade.  Ok so here are (some of)  the lyrics to M...

Sorry I missed last week, but to make up for it, this podcast is almost A HALF HOUR LONG!  note that I didn't say it was a REALLY GOOD PODCAST, just that it has more minutes.  I'd love it if you shared some of your air fryer recipes with me. Otherwise we are just going to be eating chicken nuggets til the end of time.  Here are the seed catalogs that I talked about in the pod, plus the han...

A reminder about the futility of resolutions--they should serve you, not you serve them.  Plus, a little list of some great animals I met this week!  PLEASE NOTE: This week is PIZZA WEEK. Plan accordingly.  We are also fully into SUMO CITRUS SEASON.  Go get you some.    A reminder that RedBubble store is now closed because they are shitty to small creators and so now we have a Threadless Store ins...

A very quick set of important messages for you-- 1. Resolutions and all that nonsense 2. Choosing Joy--who is with me? 3. Food Holidays 4. An assignment: please listen to the December 2019 episode (Auld Lang Syne)  of The Anthropocene Reviewed (on all the podcast platforms)  or if you are an audible.com member, use a credit to buy the Anthropocene Reviewed (John Green) book and listen to that chap...

Dec 19 • 24:17 Just hear those sleigh bells jingling, ring ting tingling too.... you know it's lovely weather to just stay home.  Here's hoping that whatever your holiday wishes are--whether they are to be with friends and family, or to be alone to celebrate solstice, to be on a warm beach or watching "snow falling faintly through the universe and faintly falling, like the descent of...

The Shortest Day and the Longest Episode Dec 9 • 28:23 How is it on the shortest day we have the longest episode? Well, I'll take it!  In which I present to you a short gift guide and of course, the food holidays for this week, and I only complain a tiny bit.    You can support this podcast by joining the Patreon at patreon.com/twochocolatecakes 

I have a scratchy voice, sorry about that. In this episode we talk about holiday expectations of yourself and others, setting boundaries, advent calendars, my favorite bartenders,  and update to our plumbing issue, and who is profiting off of human suffering?  UPDATE: I misspoke: 13th Doctor! What was I thinking! IYKYK.  If you'd like to get more content, join the patreon at patreon.com/twocho...

Just a quickie to get you ready for Thanksgiving, for better or worse! and finish out the month of food holidays. I'm considering entering a holiday cookie contest and need to decide which recipe.    We got a $9000 plumbing bill to pay next week so if you're on the fence about the Patreon,  this would be a good month to join. :-)  You can check it out at  patreon.com/twochocolatecakes  Not...

A hodge-podge of an episode--back from the trip! A little roughed up. Pet update!

Remote broadcast today complete with weird echo, and other noises I had no control over. Let's call them "ambiance." You never realize how loud your hotel room is until you have to try to record something in it.  Also, the slowest upload speeds ever. 

Last weekend I went to CT to visit my mother and sister. It was a whole thing. And it wasn't all good things and so the pod kind of reflects that. 

Some of you know about my emotional support hippo, Fatniss, but not everyone knows the whole story so today on this special anniversary weekend, I'm sharing the Fatniss Friendship story with you.    The Batter Top Cobbler is behind a paywall at America's Test Kitchen but if you have any of those cookbooks (baking) it might be in there.    Click here to join the Patreon where I put all kind...

Sep 25 • 20:09 In this episode I show my middle class ass by complaining about how hard it was to keep my pool clean this summer.  🙄😬 Also, I revisit something I talked about earlier in the year and that is about who curates our digital lives and taking advantage of opportunities to hear and save family oral history and why it is important to me to do that.  And while I do not mention it in the...

In this episode, I talk about who we would line up 10 miles and 30+ hours to spend 10 seconds saying goodbye to, the way folks in the UK are with the Queen. There's also a little musing about how the media would cover big historical events like the JFK or MLK assassinations or other important news stories.   I got my booster shot this week and I felt kind of unwell today but I had to put some...

This is a short midweek episode with some thoughts about collective mourning, funerals and lack of due to the pandemic and how we might take advantage of this gigantic worldwide event to process our own losses. I'll be back this weekend w/ food holidays and an update on how the Lamb Mowing event went (tomorrow!) 

You can absolutely tell that I am tired today so sorry for all the little mistakes and noises that I didn't have to energy to edit out! Gift with purchase!    And I realized after I record that Stand Up to Cancer day is a UK based fundraiser (I think?) where comedians raise money for cancer research so my rant is a little off but the point still remains. There are a lot of those kinds of Gutsy...
