For more of Amy's work go to: amysumpter.com! Watch on Youtube! Listen on Amazon Prime / Audible Our theme music is Just for Fun courtesy of Ketsa TODAY'S RECIPE: SEA DOG by Rick Martinez INGREDIENTS 1 pound skinless, boneless cod fillet, cut crosswise into 8 strips Kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 cup cornstarch 1 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning 2 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon sweet paprika ½ teaspoon garlic powder ½ teaspoon onion powder ¼ teaspoon baking soda ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper 12 ounces pale ale 3 tablespoons malt or cider vinegar Vegetable oil (for frying; about 3 quarts) 8 New England–style split-top hot dog buns 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature Tartar Sauce, shredded lettuce, and lemon wedges (for serving) SPECIAL EQUIPMENT A deep-fry thermometer INSTRUCTIONS Step 1 Lightly season cod with salt and black pepper. Transfer to a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet. Chill, uncovered, at least 1 hour or up to overnight (this air-dries the surface so the batter will adhere better to the fish). Step 2 Whisk flour, cornstarch, Old Bay, baking powder, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, baking soda, cayenne, 2½ tsp. salt, and ½ tsp. black pepper in a medium bowl. Add beer and vinegar and whisk just until combined and no lumps remain. Step 3 Fit a large heavy pot with thermometer; pour in oil to a depth of 3". Heat over medium-high until thermometer registers 375°. Working in batches, dip fish into batter, allowing excess batter to drip back into bowl. Lower carefully into oil and fry until light golden brown and just cooked through, 3–4 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Step 4 Heat a large skillet over medium. Spread bottom and sides of each bun with butter. Toast buns, pressing down lightly, until golden, about 2 minutes per side. Step 5 Generously spread some tartar sauce in each bun; top with lettuce and a fried fish fillet. Serve with lemon wedges and additional tartar sauce alongside.

Codex is joined by comedian, rapper, podcaster Amy Sumpter and bon vivant Alexandra Tsarpalas to talk about sexy sexy contract negotiations. You can find the book online and in your aunt’s nightstand.   50 Shades of Grey by E L James Now in hardcover, with a silk ribbon marker and printed endpapers, the first volume of the New York Times #1 bestselling trilogy. When literature student Anastasia Steele goes to interview young entrepreneur Christian Grey, she encounters a man who is beautiful, brilliant, and intimidating. The unworldly, innocent Ana is startled to realize she wants this man and, despite his enigmatic reserve, finds she is desperate to get close to him. Unable to resist Ana’s quiet beauty, wit, and independent spirit, Grey admits he wants her, too—but on his own terms.   Shocked yet thrilled by Grey’s singular erotic tastes, Ana hesitates. For all the trappings of success—his multinational businesses, his vast wealth, his loving family—Grey is a man tormented by demons and consumed by the need to control. When the couple embarks on a daring, passionately physical affair, Ana discovers Christian Grey’s secrets and explores her own dark desires.   Erotic, amusing, and deeply moving, the Fifty Shades Trilogy is a tale that will obsess you, possess you, and stay with you forever.   This book is intended for mature audiences.     SHOW NOTES:    Previous Episodes: 6. ‘The Fir Tree’ Holiday Special w/ Kristin Clifford & Alexandra Tsarpalas 70.

MCAmy (AKA Ms Sumpta if ya nasty) joined me for a second time (I LOST THE FIRST ONE. AN MBSing FIRST. SHE TALKED ABOUT THE WHITE SOX AND IT WAS A GREAT EP, TOO) to talk her love of everyone's favorite hip hop group featuring three Jewish dudes from NYC. After laying down the truth on how the Boys' gear change around '94 to clean up their lyrics turned her into a feminist, Amy breaks down the origins of her all-female Beastie Boys tribute band, She's Crafty. Yeah. You read that right, and it's the best. They have performed all over Chicago and a bit beyond, and they have hosted MCA Day celebrations for the past couple years to honor the memory of Adam "MCA" Yauch, who passed away in 2012 due to cancer. All the acts are Beastie related, and all of the ticket sales go to two different cancer charities. You should go after you listen to this 2 legit ep.
