This week we’re coming to you early! Listen, we all are ready for this year to be over and we all need a little break. Enjoy your holiday weekend, however you may spend it, with Jesse and Jessica as they lay out a plate of chocolate chip review and a tall glass of news for you to enjoy by the fireside.

Speaking of Fireside! We’re moving our podcast hosting service to Fireside.fm. January 1 we’ll officially roll over and sometime after that the old feed will be closed down permanently.
