    Episode 6: Danger is Soda Bread's Middle Name (feat. HCI)

    Join Addie for a journey through the history of Irish Soda Bread… is it truly Irish, and what makes it so? After we’ve made it from America to Ireland, and back to Addie’s latest backyard soda bread concoction, we’ll head up the mountain to talk about high-altitude baking, and how it affected the pies of Pi Day 2021. Don’t forget your jug of hydrochloric acid - let’s get baking! Sources: [In Episode]: 1. “History of Soda Bread" Article. 2003. The Society for the Preservation of Irish Soda Bread.

    Episode 4: A Very "Planned" Thanksgiving

    Join Addie for a freewheeling episode to accompany your Thanksgiving baking (or just your laying about). Addie goes over her giant Thanksgiving dessert list for a teeny tiny Thanksgiving, and bestows her hard-won (well, sort of) kitchen wisdom on your pie crust, fillings, dinner rolls, and savory sides! We just couldn't choose one thing to talk about. The most important line in this episode?  "I just love telling everyone to toast their nuts everyday!"  Tags: Thanksgiving baking, cake, pie, pastry, rolls, apple pie, pumpkin pie, pecan pie Recipes: Deep Dish Apple Pie from "The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook" by Deb Perelman.

We’ll talk ingredient swaps, a brief history of the jack-o-lantern, Addie’s favorite German word, and the most frustrating mispronunciation in Supernatural history. Happy Halloween!
