We're baaaaaack! Amber and Rax catch up after a much needed break and chat about the most American foods they can think of. First they chat about the food of the gods, ambrosia salad, you might know it as green stuff or even watergate salad. How did we start mixing cool whip with fruit and coconut and why is it so gooood?! We also chat about micorwave cooking for singles, equally American. Rax wrote a piece for slate where she cooked a holiday meal in the microwave and learned the magic of how to adjust the levels.
And for you article heads here are the pieces we read for to learn about fluff salad:
Jenny McGruther, Fresh Ambrosia Salad, Nourished Kitchen
Mrs. Barringer (no first name), Dixie Cookery or How I Managed My Table For 12 Years
Ellen Gutoskey, Jell-O Journalism: Investigating the Origins of Watergate Salad, Mental Floss
