Here’s a short film to cheer the mid-winter soul. I meant this as a Christmas greeting of sorts, but it’s a bit late, as usual. The sentiment remains the same though!

Just in time for Christmas, a totally non-Christmasy show!  This time we re-visit corning beef with Brisket of Torino, and we talk about news and weather.

This week’s show is a few days later than I wanted. Lot’s going on. I hope you will enjoy it. In #160 we talk about Guerrilla Gardening, ordering seeds, the hot food-news topics and I give you my mother’s Fruit Cake Recipe.

This week’s show is here. The Zoom h4 is working great, but I’m still working on getting the right sound in Kitchen Studio. This week there’s news, life on Podchef Island, The Demise of Pinkie Winkie, and a Swiss Chard, Bacon & Kale mega-quiche.
