Welcome to AMR answers. This is Sarah Bowen-Shay. And this is Dimity McDowell.

So, Dim, have I ever told you what it is that I like to do after recording a podcast?

I can guess. Can I guess? Yeah, of baking muffins.

Baking muffins.

Baking. Ding, ding, ding. You got so it is.

I'm oftentimes just kind of hopped up and a little bit wired after recording a podcast

and somehow baking became my like self-soothing like tradition.

That's a lot of baking. If you, I mean, you record like two a week most weeks. That's a lot of baking.

Oh, there's just all sorts of things. You can do muffins one day and, you know, high protein,

you know, bogus bagels, another. And so, yes, so, but I really have to remember this one because,

so my son John is in town this week.

Thankfully, his school has started doing a fall break.

And then his big sister, my older daughter, Phoebe and her romantic partner

are coming over for dinner.

So I'm using it as an excuse to make

a super tasty. Oh, I've talked about this cake before with you, that chocolate mud cake.

So I'm, but I have to remember the thing about baking a cake, it's kind of like putting something

in a crock pot. Like, it's no good if you don't remember to do it. I'm not trying to understand

what you mean. Like, it's, well, like with a crock pot, you can be like, oh, yeah, I'm going to do that

curry chicken crock pot recipe tonight. And well, if you don't remember to put it in at, you know,

one in the afternoon or set a timer, like put it in the the morning. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So it's the same thing with baking a cake in terms of if you don't bake it a couple hours beforehand, then you can't frost it, you know, I don't know, an hour or two before people. So basically you're saying like you have to make it. Like you have to remember to make it. I do not have to remember to make it.

So rather than write a note to myself, I was going to write on a three by five index card
