Summary
It’s a fair bet that stress baking is on the rise. (See what we did there?) So we thought it was time to check in with baker extraordinaire Shauna Sever, whose cookbook Midwest Made is full of amazing comfort foods. She has a recipe for the only banana bread you’ll ever need, and the name is true.
And, of course, we hear from you!
Your homework: We’d love to know what you’re reading these days. Are you doubling down on pandemic fiction? Dabbling in a presidential biography? Is your attention too frazzled to read full books so you’re opting for short stories? Whatever you’re enjoying, we want to hear about it! Tell us your book rec, along with your name and where you’re from. You can record yourself on your phone and email the file to [email protected].

| 0:55.2 | In fact, I'm sitting on the floor of my bedroom closet. That means it must be another edition of Nerdettes, Introverts, Guide to the Good Life. |
| 1:04.0 | At the top of the show, we heard from Jamie in Oak Park, Illinois. It's a good topical reminder |
| 1:09.3 | that, like, if you're trying to conserve toilet paper, |
| 1:11.3 | that's totally cool, but do not flush paper towels or any other weird stuff. But you probably |
| 1:17.7 | already knew that already because you're not a monster. Okay, so today I think we should talk about stress baking because I would bet money that a lot of you are already doing this. |
