This week we discuss stories out of Ireland! Since it's March and St. Paddy's day is right around the corner, we thought we would dig up some interesting tales from that neck of the woods. Ireland, you do not disappoint. Your stories run the spectrum from mystical to straight up psychotic and we love it! Nydia tells the story of one of Ireland's biggest mysteries; the man who never was. Or was he? Maybe you can solve this still unsolved case? Dana tells the disturbing story of Ireland's first hang woman; spoiler alert we think she liked it. For dinner, we have Bangers and Mash paired with a bottle of Jeanne Marie Merlot. For dessert, we try out Irish Apple Amber with a Meringue topping.

This week we are sharing unbelievable black history month stories. Dana tells us about some Marys in black history, Mary Bowser the spy, and Stagecoach Mary.  Nydia shares with us the fascinating story of Frederick Douglass and his rise from slavery to the capital.  For dinner, Dana tries to honor the south by frying up some catfish nuggets, hush puppies, and coleslaw. Nydia attempts a brown sugar pie. We shared a bottle of Estancia sauvignon blanc which had a tropical fruity flavor and cut the saltiness of the catfish nuggets.

In honor of Presidents Day, this week we focus on some little known presidential stories and unsavory factoids about our great leaders. Nydia shares with us the story of our first unofficial female president, Edith Wilson. Dana tells us about our first “White Trash” president, his rise to the White House, his adultering wife, and the worst gift to get when one doesn’t have refrigeration. For dinner, Nydia tries her hand at a presidential recipe right out of president Bush senior’s kitchen. Dana incorporates cheddar cheese into her dessert by making cheddar and apple muffins. We shared Kendall-Jackson sauvignon blanc which had a light and crisp taste and went well with the salty dishes.

Love is in the air with this Valentine's Day episode. This week we discuss women who love bad boys. We're talking really bad boys. In this episode we cover women who love men on death row. Dana talks about the Night Stalker's woman and Nydia tells us the story of Oscar Bolin's love, Rosalie Martinez. 

Dana prepares a popular last meal request of Kentucky Fried Chicken but with a twist. Nydia tries her hand at lemon meringue pie, a dessert neither have ever tried before. We share a bottle of Cupcake Moscato which did not disappoint for under $15. It had a very sweet taste which went well with the saltiness of the chicken.

This week our discussion takes us into the cold blooded realm. Our guests this week are Ryan and Ben of R&B Reptiles.  They have a cool YouTube channel where they teach the proper care and maintenance of various snake types. We discuss the ins and outs of owning a massive snake or 200, the “interesting” people they get requests from, and brushes with fame they’ve had. 

 

Dana tells us a couple of stories where the reptile was the hero. What’s that you say Hissy?  Billy is down a well? Nydia goes dark with stories about real life people who have been swallowed whole by snakes. 

 

Dana brings the theme together with a Greek yogurt shrimp avocado salad. She claims reptiles eat like this but Nydia’s never seen a reptile eat Greek yogurt, shrimp, or avocado before. Nydia makes chocolate “turtle” bars because she thought it was cute to not follow the theme rules. We shared a bottle of Myx Sinner red wine which was terrible and we switched over to Chateau St. Michelle a very nice riesling that sells for under $20.

The Stories:

This week Nydia and Dana had the bright idea to talk about human experimentation. We want to warn you that this episode is not for the faint of heart! We discuss all kinds of torture, sexual assault, violence and more. We care about your mental health so we just wanted to give you a heads up. Get some chocolate to help you through it. It is a tough episode, but we think its important. Nydia tells us about the Monster Josef Mengele and the atrocities he perpetrated during the holocaust. Dana's interest was peek during a previous episode so she deep dives into Unit 731 and the nightmare of a man Shirō Ishii.

The Food: 

Nydia had a kitchen experiment and made us ribs in the crock-pot for the first time. Dana made us a cake from the 1940's called a gold nugget cake. They both cut corners but come see how things turned out. We drank a Zinfandel this week called 7 Deadly Zins, which was very zinful!

The Stories:

Every family has its secrets. Sarah learns about hers in an unfortunate way.  Join us this week as we talk about the mistakes our parents make and how they affect us. Nydia shares a story about a mysterious disappearance and a dead man who comes back to live his best life. Dana shares the story of The Hicks Babies, an incredible tale of a whole town coming together to keep a secret so heinous that it leaves you scratching your head.  

The Food:

Nydia prepares a famous back of the box recipe, the Lipton Onion Soup meatloaf and fools Dana into thinking it’s a special recipe. This meatloaf makes Dana question life. Dana makes an apple pie with a crumble crust. It doesn’t get more American than this. We share a bottle of 19 Crimes Cabernet Sauvignon wine. Delicious!

The Stories:

Hi there! This week we’re focusing on unexplained mass casualties, our favorite stories. Nydia shares the story of the Sudden Unexplained Death Syndrome that plagued the Hmong refugees during the late ’70s and ’80s. Dana tells us the eerie tale of the Ourang Medan ghost ship. We throw some possible theories out there about both stories. We also discuss The Witcher now playing on Netflix, sleep paralysis, the inspiration for Nightmare on Elm Street, and much more. 

The Food: 

This week was Nydia’s turn to cook and for dinner, she decided to go Asian with an easy chicken pad Thai. She shares that what made it super easy was the pre-cooked noodles she used. For dessert, Dana made a Hong Kong-style mango pudding, which tasted great but had a hairy texture. Maybe don’t use canned mango. The wine this week was a Dr. G dry riesling, which at the under $12 price point hit the spot and paired well with the pad Thai.

We are sharing a Hurricane Katrina story y’all! In 2005, our friend Pam went to New Orleans to be with her dying father and ended up getting stuck right as the storm was coming at them. She recounts the events that transpire after his death and how she and her family fought to escape the historical storm. Nydia shares the timeline of Katrina events and Dana tells the delightful tale of the Ursuline Vampires also known as the Casket Girls of New Orleans. For dinner we served Shrimp Po’Boy sandwiches with Famega white wine and for dessert we tried air fryer beignets.
