SideCar Podcast, with Jen Coleslaw

Farmers Market The State of the Garden The New Fridge Climate Change is Real New Dog! Earth Day Food Hols! If you're local to me and come see me on Sunday the 16th at Aslin Brewing in Herndon. 11-4 pm

A Few Things To Know: Zeppoles for Saturday! This is far more important than whatever happens on Friday The Bakery I talk about is The Red Truck Bakery in Warrenton (you can google and find all the stories) If you are local-ish and want to help build a very small pollinator habitat in the middle of a kind of crappy historic parking lot at a brewery on Sunday, come on by Aslin Beer 9:30 am -11:30 am March 19. We'll be doing another event there on April 16--Earth Daze which is all day (11-5) and much bigger and a good time and you should come if you want. Both events are free and pretty low stakes. Anchor just became Spotify for Podcasters so hopefully that won't slow down my ability to move the SideCar pods over to their own feed.

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 to move the SideCar Podcast to its own feed if anyone knows how to do that... 😬 That way when Two Chocolate Cakes drops, it will be its own feed as well. there are a lot of weird smacks, pops, and clicks in this because of the settings so I apologize for those extra annoying sounds. In my defense, my nose is half broke, it appears so my breathing is all weird.

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 Mr Tambourine Man by Bob Dylan--made famous by the Byrds and I was thinking about it a lot this week because of the passing of David Crosby Take me on a trip upon your magic swirlin' ship My senses have been stripped, my hands can't feel to grip My toes too numb to step Wait only for my boot heels to be wanderin' I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to fade Into my own parade, cast your dancing spell my way I promise to go under it PS it is possible I we're at the 1 year anniversary of the podcast? How should we celebrate?

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 instead.

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 their last end, upon all the living and the dead" (James Joyce) that you're having the holiday you want. In this episode we go over belonging and holiday rituals and some holiday history, and of course the food holidays as well as a good clapback for you to use on anyone in your family who dares to define "woke" as a bad thing. Reminder: If it is not Good News to the Poor--it is not Good News. To support the podcast you can subscribe via Spotify or 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.
