Please note: This episode was recorded on February 25. Listeners had a robust response to the “Brick Meets Click” mini-segment from Episode 164. Stefin tells Andrea of London’s “one-stop” grocery delivery service, Ocado, but Andrea might be better served by a personal assistant. Listeners: Do you know of an existing service in the US that […]

She makes multiple batches of Mary Beth’s Reliable Pie Crust in her 14-cup Cuisinart, then wraps each crust in plastic wrap, pops them in a plastic bag, and freezes. When she’s planning to bake a pie, she removes a crust […]
Back in May 2019 the hosts had fun with “Made it Myself” month, when they recreated all sorts of grocery store favorites like Oreos and Pop Tarts.
