Remember the banana bread phase of lockdown? How about when we began passing around sourdough starter to make bread? What do you do with your discard? I didn’t plan it this way, but somehow the recording and editing schedules aligned for me to present this week’s episode as one that commemorates one year since many of us in Columbia Missouri started to self isolate, amidst the rapid spread of the Covid 19 virus. In this episode, I talk with one of my friends, Julie Passanante Elman, about the used of food during the pandemic, how it impacts our relationships with others inside and outside our homes, and of course what to do with all that sourdough discard.
