The Astute Macaron
Hello! This is the Astute Macaron Podcast, where I (finally) read the classics, and then bake about them. My name is Misty, and I have worked in bookstores and libraries for over a decade - I currently work at a very small, super cute library in the mountains. Somehow, even being surrounded by books and selling more classics than I can count, I have managed to avoid ever reading them, mostly because they are boring. I am not a professional baker, or even a particularly talented one, but I enjoy a challenge, and I can usually make something that tastes good and won't poison you, even if it looks inedible.In this podcast I am challenging myself to finally read the classics, to see what the heck everyone is talking about. I probably won't like them, to be honest, so be prepared for some Unpopular Opinions. Baking is my stress relief, so in order to get through this nonsense, I will be baking something themed after the book! Or, attempting to, anyway.I hope you enjoy it!

Wow, I really liked this book! But also i think teaching it in schools is hecka problematic! Let's discuss!
I made a cherry cobbler, from the recipe on this 70 year old index card, oh my god. Loved it, so good. I think I'm going to go eat some more right now, actually.
The wind is attacking my podcast, and I do apologize. I tried recording in 4 different spots around the house and this was the best audio quality I could get.
