Episode 13 Eastern Europe Part 2 and the Abomination Dessert of Fail

In Today's Episode, we wrap up Part 2 of our discussion around Eastern European Death and Funeral Customs. We learned so much from all the research for these episodes, and we hope you did the same. From the Macedonian use of Magic Kerchiefs and Albanian Custom of preventing vampires to the Ukrainian "Week of the Nymphs", and their Pysanky Eggs, our minds were boggled at every turn. But not as boggled as when we created the Dessert Abomination of Failure. I think we will leave making Krempita to Eastern Europe. Please make sure you tune in to us next week as we talk about Autopsies, and if you're interested in our Listener's Episode (out 8/6), send us your ghost stories!

Remember, life is short, have dessert!
