Two Chocolate Cakes, A Culinary Memoir follows the writer from one of her earliest family memories—making a scratch chocolate cake with a purloined recipe for her father’s birthday, a cake he would never eat on his birthday because he would be passed out drunk before the sun would set, to another chocolate cake, made by strangers but sent by friends, some 40 years later, and all the culinary and emotional layers in between those moments.

    SideCar: The Dog Days Episode

    Oh hey are you still listening to SideCar over here? You really really need to listen to it at SideCar Podcast with Jen Coleslaw. You're keeping me from uploading Two Chocolate Cakes Episodes! Let me know if it is not on your podcast player--btw, Stitcher is no longer carrying any podcasts so I can't help you there.

    Second Floor Chicken Dinner (season 1 finale)

    And so we come to the end of Season 1 of Two Chocolate Cakes, and it is with one of the most bland meals out of the entire series, but still a meal I love more than anything--it is a comfort meal that I eat even now, many years later.  It is also one of the only kinds of meat I can manage to cook myself! Well, besides hotdogs.  I hope you have enjoyed this first season of Two Chocolate Cakes and I am excited to bring you Season Two before the end of the summer!  The SideCar podcast will continue weekly on the weekends and if you want to stay up to date, get behind the scenes special downloads and recipes, swag and more, you'll want to join the Patreon--there are 4 levels of support, from $3/month to $25/month with varying levels of goodies.

    Kay's Christmas Eve Lasagna and Christmas Day (Dad's Favorite) Beef Stew

    After my parents' divorce, Kay took over hosting Christmas. She made it special after Mom swore never to celebrate holidays again, even putting a tiny 2 food christmas tree in the room I stayed in.  A reminder that you can support the podcast by joining the Patreon at one of the 4 levels.  and that the recipes for this and the other episodes can be found at Two Chocolate Cakes website.  Finally, there are just a few more episodes (2!)  in this season. Then we'll just have SideCar episodes while I put together Season 2 of Two Chocolate Cakes. I think you'll be pleased with the stories and the recipes.

    Quintana Roo's Tofu Scramble

    There was something about Portland that gave me courage. I don't know if it was the weather, or the fact that I had a job where I was respected, or if it was all that incredible beer (and let me tell you, the beer was OUTSTANDING) or if it was the rain, but it was something. I only wish that I had banked some of that courage for the future.  A reminder that recipes can be found at TwoChocolateCakes.Com and that you can support the podcast at the Two Chocolate Cakes Patreon Please share and rate the podcast! Thank you! xoxo
