Radio Topia, welcome to the Kitchen Sisters Presently.

We're the Kitran Sisters, Davia Nelson and Nicki Silva.

Hi there, thank you so much to everyone who has already donated to support

Radiotopia and this show during our fall fundraiser. I love reading the

comments listeners leave when you donate like this one from a

listener who says all my favorite podcasts are Radiotopia Podcasts. Thanks for the

work you do. That's from Kristen D. Thank you Kristen. Our fundraiser is coming to a close later this month. If we reach our goal of 1,000 donors, after the holidays we'll share a digital zine with everyone who donated to help us get there. But we're still a little short.

As of this recording, we still need 160 more listeners to donate.

If you've been on the fence or meaning to donate,

please consider making your tax deductible gift today to support independent

podcasts like ours. As you've probably heard us say your donation not only helps

fund our show, it's also a vote of confidence, a statement that shows like this should exist. Thank you so much for

listening and supporting our work. You can head to radiotopia. FM slash

donate to make your gift today.

Thank you very much. Dear Davia and Nicky, while listening to the Cabyard Kitchen, it seems that you might like

this story as a future episode.

That's Elaine Hardman. She lives in a little town in upstate New York, a very little town.

She's up hotter and a former teacher.

My daughter, Emily Hardman.

And she wanted us to go visit her daughter at the Houghton Library at Harvard

University and to take an archaeological dig into a recipe.

Emily Dick and the cake recipe. recipe. It just seemed like the sort of thing you might like to do.
