Episode 156: Corona Chronicles, Please don't call CPS on Fran Anything But Vanilla Podcast
-
- Comedy
Welcome in to episode 56! This is the LAST episode before FRAN FINALLY HAS HER FUCKING BABY. Can we get an AMEN?!?
Our week in review include Claire's perfect summer afternoon/evening and a SIP birthday party for Fran's oldest son. This week's news is bittersweet: a love story of teenagers getting married while one is dying. This prompts a disagreement (shocker!) between Claire the romantic and Fran the realist about whether parents should let their kids marry a dying person. We also discuss the Bachelorette's fall from grace as she uses a derogatory word during an Instagram live singalong and this pair of drunk girls think that she deserves all of the backlash she is receiving. For once, Claire & Fran give advice on a subject they're actually well-versed in: long-term friendships and how to foster and support them.
Our Corona cofessions: one of us has become a nosy neighbor and the other one of us is getting Zoom tarot card readings...you may be surprised at who is who.
In Shit We Like this week brings us cocktails on the go from The Snug & an amazing lotion destined to get you as tan as Claire when she won the tan-off last year.
This week's hater is Corona-related and it's basically assholes who don't wear masks in public and raise hell because of it.
Fran does a send-off to the pod but don't worry, she'll be back in a sleep-deprived state in a couple of weeks.
Fair-Style Lemon Shake Ups
makes 2 drinks
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup sugar
2 lemons
2 cups ice cubes, plus extra for serving as necessary
1 cup alcohol of choice (vodka would be best)
DIRECTIONS
Bring the water and sugar to boil in a small saucepan. Boil for five minutes or until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Juice 1 1/2 lemons, reserving the fourth lemon half. Stir the lemon juice into the sugar syrup; you will have about 1 cup. Chill the lemon syrup in the fridge.
Blend the ice in a blender or food processor until it is crushed. Put half the crushed ice in a cocktail shaker, along with half the chilled lemon syrup (about 1/2 cup), along with 1/2 cup ice water. Shake vigorously for a couple minutes, then dump the whole mixture — including the ice — into a tall glass. Repeat with the remaining ice, syrup, and vodka for the second shake up.
Cut the remaining lemon half into four slices and add two slices to each glass. Sip (slowly!) and enjoy!
