In this episode, Karen takes her turn behind the mixer and unleashes a batch of Brown Butter KillaVanilla Wafers—cookies so good they’ve risen to legendary status in our kitchen. They’re buttery, they’re bold, and they’re now officially our signature cookie!

While Karen is elbow‑deep in vanilla‑scented bliss, Anne walks us through a devastating California true crime mystery involving the violent loss of 88‑year‑old Gertrude McCabe. It’s a story that shakes you, stays with you, and deserves to be told with care.

In this deeply moving episode, Anne and Karen sit down with Amanda Seagal, the sister of Teresa Brantley, whose life was tragically taken in June of 1982. Teresa—portrayed as “Georgia” in Deadly Route, part of the Same My Name Series—was so much more than the violence that ended her story.

With honesty and grace, Amanda shares who her sister truly was: her spirit, her memories, and the life she lived before that unimaginable day. This conversation goes beyond the headlines and the crime—it’s about love, loss, and the enduring humanity of a life that deserves to be remembered in full.

We believe every victim’s story deserves to be told with depth, dignity, and heart—not just for how it ended, but for how it was lived. It is with profound respect and gratitude that we welcome Amanda to share Teresa’s story.

Anne storms into the kitchen this week like a sugar‑dusted superhero, armed with strawberries and zero intention of behaving. She’s whipping up Strawberry Biscuits so fluffy, so radiant, so aggressively delicious they might actually file a restraining order against your self‑control. These little clouds of Spring sunshine don’t just melt in your mouth… they detonate with flavor. And because Anne refuses to stop at “heavenly,” she drenches them in a glossy Strawberry Glaze that could probably convince a grown adult to do her taxes for free.

Meanwhile, as Anne is turning her magic in the kitchen, Karen unpacks the frustrating case of a misplaced, sinister office grudge. When Janet Houser goes out of her way to help out an office friend, her world is shattered and she ends up in a deadly fight for her life. It’s messy. It’s maddening. It’s the kind of story that makes you side‑eye your coworkers for the rest of the week.
So grab a biscuit, clutch your pearls, and dive into the chaos. Listen wherever you get your favorite podcasts — or watch the full, glorious circus on YouTube at Sugar Coated in the House.
