I have been listening to all my old episodes to try to get some kind of sense of what the hell I have been talking about all this time.

There are pumpkins at the farmers market, and apples, but so far not the apples I'm looking for.

The food holidays for October are great.

Please consider joining the patreon so I can pay off my hearing aids.

But if you can't support that way, maybe you could recommend the podcast so I can grow my audience? Maybe encourage folks to start with Two Chocolate Cakes podcast? Thanks!!

check out my politics substack Wake Up and Fight at https://jencoleslaw.substack.com/ (I am still figuring it out)

I wrote this twice and the first draft was ragey and the second draft is less rage but really got wore out and so this is not well edited. More talk about the fires in LA than about incoming administration. I didn't cry once! My voice is still just that scratchy.

You win a prize if you can tell me how many times a cat sneezed while I was recording. Also, which cat.

Wondering if there's a live cameo for letting people facetime with my pets.

We are just a few days away from the end of one year and the beginning of the next and if you don't have a plan or a bunch of resolutions, I got you covered.

Rufus Waffles and Blueberry contribute to the podcast! Clown Shoes rubs his face on the microphone more than once! Also, please don't forget to say your rabbits on Thursday night/Friday Morning!

"When you find yourself in a hole, stop digging," Jen's Mom (from a long time ago)

I have more time on my hands now that I am not working my side hustle at the hospital (which kind of sucks because even that little stipend was helpful) so I'm gonna try to be more here.

I am not sure that a tiktok will link here well but search for Light of a Clear Blue Morning Navy Chorus and you'll find it. The woman who posted and sings it is Madi. She's wonderful. Go listen to it. Makes sure you hear the whole thing. I'll post it on the patreon too.

I have lost track of what episode this is, but here are the facts:

• I recorded on a different computer and my settings are all hosed up.
• I have a wicket hoarse voice like Joe Biden, so what are you gonna do, put us BOTH out to pasture?
• It is such a nice day out here finally that I have the window open so you can hear the birds, and, the trash truck. I hope you find that whimsical

There was so much more I could have said in this podcast but I ran out of everything. I'll put it in the patreon.

patreon.com/twochocolatecakes

Whew. A long episode! Some new mom issues to deal with so that always takes time!

Will I still have a job the next time you hear from me? WHO KNOWS!

Also I keep losing track of what episode number these are so ... Sorry about that.

Good News Only (mostly) plus April Food Holidays:

Also: Blueberry's Birthday is April 12! '

Laddie Marmalade makes an audible appearance (is that possible to make an appearance but only be heard?) anyway, he purrs into the microphone twice and I bet you can hear it because I'm so bad at editing out noises.

A thoughtful (as in full of thought) episode about how, in the words of the Rolling Stones, with respect to Parents (ie., fathers) you can't always get what you want, but you can get what you need--by going outside the family unit and finding positive role models for either your kids or even yourself. If your spouse or the father (or mother!) of your kids isn't making it happen because they're ill or they're flawed or broken, find other people to fill the gaps.

Also: What's at the farmers market, how Rufus Poofus All Around Doofus is doing, what's growing in and eating up my garden.

Plus the food holidays.

The bad air last week and the unfortunate plan to clean up the living room of all the cat hair and dust really did me and my poor schnoop in this week so this episode is mostly a bit of complaining, two coughs that I didn't edit out (sorry) and food holidays. Hopefully I'll get back on track this weekend.

I'm still hoping for THREE more Patreons so I can get that super awesome hand mixer. You can support the podcast by joining the patreon at patreon.com/twochocolatecakes or if you're a Spotify user, supporting the podcast here for 4.99! (but if you join patreon you get perks!)

Reminder: If you'd like to support the podcast you can do it via Spotify or even better: Patreon where you get perks.

A second reminder: If you're still listening to this podcast on the Two Chocolate Cakes feed, please find the SideCar Podcast with Jen Coleslaw on your podcast app and follow it there. By the end of June (hopefully) I will only be posting PodCast episodes there so I can start uploading Season 2 of Two Chocolate Cakes on the Two Chocolate Cakes Feed.

So I'm still healing from surgery so my voice is pretty goofy sounding and I am sorry for the occasional cough.

But we get caught up on Farmers Markets, What's going on the Garden, Dog News, and of course the end of May and beginning of June Food Holidays.

Also, RABBIT RABBIT RABBIT on Wednesday overnight. DO IT. I don't want to hear how you didn't do it.

This is the new feed for the SideCar podcast. I am not sure I can get all the previous episodes up now that Anchor is part of Spotify, but I will try! For now, you can get all the first year of SideCar on the Two Chocolate Cakes feed. Going forward, I will try to keep all the SideCars here.

Also: Home is where the heart is; house is where the stuff is.

If you're local to me and come see me on Sunday the 16th at Aslin Brewing in Herndon. 11-4 pm

The episode where I complain some more about my mother.

Don't forget that Saturday is April 1 and NO JOKE: RABBIT RABBIT RABBIT.

You can support the podcast and encourage me to finish writing Season 2 of Two Chocolate Cakes (patreons get early looks/listens, occasional mail drops depending on the level, poetry readings, and pictures of things that are important to me--I will also answer all your email and give you encouragement and advice as needed) by joining the patreon at patreon.com/twochocolatecakes

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. 

Good News: spring is seriously here because of some news out of the Farmers Markets!

New Feature: Food News!  Tag me in any interesting food news stories! 

The usual food holidays and a reminder to get yourself some Sugar Snap Pea seeds for Pea Planting Day! 

Also, if Twitter implodes you can find me @jencoleslaw @twochocolatecakes on Instagram

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.
