S3 E2 Conner's Off-The-Grid Commissary

Welcome back, survivors! We've made it to our third and final season. The last ride. We're glad you're here.

In the heart of post-apocalyptic Los Angeles, our favorite dentist-turned-podcaster, Elaine Martínez, DDS, is at it again. This week, Elaine finds herself at the bustling black market ration swap in Griffith Park, ready to uncover culinary delights in the most unexpected places. This week, she meets Conner, the savvy proprietor of Conner's Off-The-Grid Commissary. Together, they embark on a culinary adventure that’s sure to lift your spirits—and it all starts with a simple but delicious treat: mollete.

Join Elaine as she:

Reflects on the dark days in her bunker and her renewed sense of purpose.
Shares her encounter with Conner, a businesswoman with a knack for procuring rare goods.
Walks us through a nostalgic recipe for sugar-butter mollete, using a repurposed clothes dryer as a toaster.

Sugar Butter Mollete Recipe:

Ingredients:

1 loaf of bread, preferably baguette or any long roll
3 pats of butter
2 teaspoons of sugar

Instructions:

Prepare Your Workspace:
- Set up your makeshift kitchen with the salvaged clothes dryer, as Conner demonstrated.
Mix Butter and Sugar:
- In a small bowl, mix the butter and sugar until you get a smooth, spreadable consistency.
Prepare the Bread:
- Cut the bread into slices and spread the butter-sugar mixture generously on each slice.
Toast the Bread:
- Place the slices in the repurposed dryer, setting it to "permanent press" for about 10 minutes.
Check and Serve:
- Once the bread is toasted to a golden brown, carefully remove it from the dryer. Enjoy the sweet and savory treat.

Tips and Variations:

Foraging: If you're able to find any fresh herbs like rosemary or sage, feel free to add a sprig for additional flavor.
Survival Tactics: Elaine reminds us that survival is all about scrappiness and creativity. Use what you have and make the best of it!
