A hot tip from Listener Rosemary sends Andrea scurrying to investigate the correct name for part of her Cuisinart food processor (hint: it does not contain the words thing-er or thing-y), and the hosts debate not only using rogue pieces of kitchen appliances to decorate cookies, but also the many nicknames we have for our favorite devices.
Speaking of going rogue, have you heard of professional baker and amateur sleuth Hannah Swensen, the protagonist of Joanne Fluke’s Cozy Mystery series? Stefin’s amazed that each book is said to contain up to 20 recipes, making them as much cookbook as novel. Meanwhile, Andrea’s got Preheated-favorite author Ruth Reichl’s Save Me the Plums on her summer list, and hopes this non-fiction account of Reichl’s best-seller Delicious will be just as tasty.

First up: Cookie Butter Blondies from Jenna at the Butternut Bakery. It’s been a while since the duo have allowed cookie butter in their homes (Episode 14’s Totally Biscoff Pie is still a fan favorite).
