Happy holidays & happy new year to all! To accommodate our busy holiday schedules we have a mixed-up informal episode for you today. We’re drinking some very boozey homemade eggnog and wearing our ugliest Christmas sweaters—all of which makes for a very hospitable environment for our *special guests*! Yes, The Boys are on air with us today, reacting to our creations live. We also entertain with the riotous rum-soaked history of eggnog and an original poem by Steph (!!!) on the origins of ugly Christmas sweater parties. Be sure to listen to the end for extra holiday cheer! Listen: If you cannot see the audio controls, your browser does not support the audio element Enjoy!

For the second month in a row we’re chatting about a bombastic historical Pierre. In this episode we’re celebrating weddings old and new, focusing on Pierre and Margaret Trudeau’s secret wedding in 1971. We’re talking about the history of British wedding traditions and how they translated to this Canadian wedding—and how Margaret made both her gown and cake.  We also tried our hand at reproducing that cake, albeit on a smaller scale. It turns out that fruitcake sort of defies the idea of “scale” – but we’ll get into that. Happy listening! Check out our show notes below for links to articles, photos and resources that we mentioned in this episode.

After weighing what’s left of our fruitcake, we’re estimating an 8lb cake! Follow along with our new Pinterest account, with a new board for each episode....
