It's the last week of August and Stefin's kids are heading to their new school in London. Meanwhile, back in the States, Andrea is rendering leaf lard and looking forward to flaky pie crusts. The Blueberry Banana Cake was a big hit with both hosts, even if the cream cheese frosting presented some problems. Andrea's looking forward to using home-grown plums in the final Potlucks & Picnics episode recipe, Summer Plum Crostata. And finally, the gals agree on a love of dates, and debate the merits of store-bought vs. homemade protein snacks.

Bake along with Stefin and Andrea in their baking Facebook group, Preheated. You can find all of the recipes on their baking website, www.preheatedpodcast.com. Join the fun!
