Most violent crimes are senseless, but the one we cover this week is senseless with a bag of chips. Steven Keith Hatch and Glen Burton Ake went on a crime spree that would end in the attempted annihilation of the Douglas family of Okarche, Oklahoma. A plot twist would put an end to that spree and, in the process, change the existing victim’s rights laws. 

For dinner, with inspiration from the story Cindy made Salisbury steaks. For dessert, we shared Texas sheet cake cookies, a recipe from Oklahoma food blogger The Pioneer Woman. We washed it all down with Spiked Roy Rogers.

With the season of giving coming up, we decided to take a deep dive into toys that have gotten a bad rap over the years.  This week Dana covers cursed toys and these tales are nothing to play around with. 

For dinner, Cindy went with a kid foods theme. She made homemade pizza pockets! For dessert, on the menu were chocolate-covered potato chips with vanilla ice cream. We washed it all down with spiked Kool-Aid.

Join us and everyone from Darkcast for a sleepover packed with scary stories from the whole family!

The Crime Diner has a little Halloween surprise for you!

A mysterious thing has been happening in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico over the last 25 years. Hundreds of women have been “disappeared” or viciously murdered. Many men have been suspected of the femicides. This week we cover some of the suspects and causes. 

We tried Cindy’s Mexican tacos al pastor and were surprised by a special ingredient; pineapple. For dessert, we had churro muffins, and we drank Palomas, a delicious tequila beverage that uses grapefruit as a mixer.

The Diner was taken over this week by all things Scottish! Dawn from one of our favorite podcasts, Scottish Murders tells us of The Goatfell Mystery 

In 1889, two men on holiday on the Isle of Arran climbed Goatfell Mountain, however, only one came down alive. What actually happened on the mountain is still debated to this day, was it an accident or was it murder? Nydia may have solved the case with one of her interesting theories. 

Dawn tested Cindy this week, tasking her to make a traditional Scottish menu. Cindy made Cullen Skink, a smoked haddock Chowder. She paired it with a hearty homemade bread and for dessert she made Cranachan. We enjoyed this meal with a Glasgow punch.

For as long as any of us can remember, Pepsi and Coke have been the two soda pop kings. For the most part, their rivalry has been of a cold war nature, but when the market share of the Philippines became fair play, the big guns came out. In the end, many would be injured, and five would be dead. 

Cindy went with the theme of Filipino foods and made a deliciously hearty beef mechado stew with a side of lumpia which is a must try! For dessert, she went with cassava cake which was met with mixed reviews. For drinks, we had, punyeta, a cocktail made of iced tea, pineapple, and rum; so good it makes you curse.

Dr. Norman G Baker was a huckster who scammed desperate people out of millions of dollars. This week we cover the shameless snake oil salesman and his connection to the famously haunted Crescent Hotel. 

Cindy prepared a feast of chicken fried steak with Arkansas baked string beans and mashed potatoes which of course was based on the theme which was Arkansas. Dessert was also based on the theme, it was a possum pie. It had no possums in it. Thanks to God. Cindy killed it with that one once again. For drinks, we shared Arkansas Razorbacks made from a mixture of spirits, no pun intended.  It was not to Nydia’s liking but then again; what is?
