  • 3.21: Domino's Pizza and Scotch - Instant Pot Szechuan

    In a huge anomaly, Joe and Aislynn enjoy a Domino's Pizza (gluten-free!) and launch into chain restaurant quality. Add a scotch tasting to the evening, and our lips really loosen up. We've booked our time at a Hot Springs bathhouse and lay out what exactly will happen, listen to La Vie en Rose, talk about the impending apocalypse where the internet doesn't work, remove all shame about using YoutTube to learn anything, make a little Chinese food, debone a chicken and, generally, have a lot of fun. It's the Dinner Table where anything can happen.

      • 3.20: We Don't Like Being Sick All The Time - Chicken Pot Pie

        We put up our very first 'Four Meal Episode' this week, the highlight being a GF chicken pot pie that comes out wonderfully. Aislynn insists, though, that we recap how Joe does tacos and fried rice since it's the season to use all the vegetables in play and those two dishes do a great job. We wholeheartedly suggest that you watch the movie Pig, you help us name a chicken, Aislynn talks Long Lunch Club, Garden Healing, and all the great goings-on at The Farm.

      • 3.19: Permission To Sit Still And Be Quiet - Vegetarian Breakfast Strata

        We've talked about a ton of egg dishes on the show, but Joe wanted to try something completely new and found a Vegetarian Breakfast Strata. This 'frittata with stale bread' turned out to be a perfect 'trash can meal' where you can stuff it with ALLLLL the produce in the house. It froze since our last time together and we talk about the effects, we merge our two chicken flocks, and shoot off fireworks for New Year's Eve. We're headed to Hot Springs, Arkansas, for a much-needed week away and talk a little about how we plan a trip. Throw in some Chicken Tortilla Soup and you've got a perfect Dinner Table.

          • 3.18: The Magic Showed Up - Russian Green Chicken Soup

            We talk about our 'Christmas Week' filled get-togethers, gifts, all the kids, meals, and Licorice Pizza. Aislynn held another Long Lunch Club where Joe makes Russian Green Chicken Soup and Aislynn visits the farmers' markets that she created as a customer.

            • 3.16: What Are Our Intentions? - Chicken Cacciatore

              Aislynn and Joe open up about some recent, deep relationship conversations this week at The Dinner Table. Things have been a little intense as we ask ourselves, is the way we've always done it good enough? We revisit our position on being food snobs, talk Garden Healing, revisit last week's stew, and Joe cooks a delicious chicken cacciatore. A jam-packed, first-of-its-kind Dinner Table!

                • 3.15: I Think You're Wrong, And Now I'm Confused - Beef Stew Live

                  A Dinner Table Talks first! Cooking during the show. The cold weather got Joe jonesing for a beef stew so Aislynn gave him a big pile of produce to go in it. While the stew cooks, we talk about a bunch of women getting everything they want, rooster kites and windmills, eating out in Port Aransas (Grumbles) and Minecraft, Minecraft, Minecraft. Plus Aislynn can't remember anything about A Bugs Life.

                      We start with our Christmas tree traditions and end with how creative expansion is blowing up the world's systems. Yep, it was quite a night around the Dinner Table. Add in an unexpected guest and we're recording during 'the nightcap period' of the night where Aislynn can 'say anything.' And she says plenty!

                          We run through our amazing Thanksgiving week from start to finish including all the food we prepared and a challenge to create your very best Thanksgiving traditions by simply being you. Joe's buttermilk pie was a complete failure, we give a full report on our successful Farm Movie Night, Aislynn still serves the green to help the brown, and we make a delicious Roasted Poblano Chicken Soup.

                            • 3.12: It's Been An Interesting Week - Friendsgiving 2021

                              It's been an interesting week starting with a trip to San Antonio that didn't go according to any plan, into a HUGE Friendsgiving/housewarming party. A foodie event at our house with the best vibe, fire, music, friends and fun that you can imagine, and concluding with a CBD-infused multi-course dinner party from a great friend/chef.


                              Did we mention the fast track to get rabbits? Did we mention getting 10 new chickens? Did we mention Aislynn's classes, that her onions came in, that she had a local menu name a farm-to-table dish after her, and that Joe's planning the first farm movie night?

                              Yeah, it's been an interesting week!
