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!

Episode 2
Join me as I read through the Christmas classic by Charles Dickens and utterly destroy a yule log.
I modified this cake recipe and utterly failed to make this frosting. It tasted like Christmas, and looked like my three year old made it.
This episode is short, because the book is short! And I wanted to get it out before the actual holiday. Take a break from your crazy family for 20 minutes and listen to me rag on Scrooge.
Humbug!
