  • 3.1: For Me. For You. For Us. - What Is 'A Curry'?

    The first episode of season three finds Joe and Aislynn in the middle of their move out to the farm on the heels of a 'sanctuary violating' event that tests the table. One year after Aislynn wrote her 'My Garden is a Sanctuary' speech for TedX, she shares her thoughts on the how the thoughts have evolved and plans for the gardens at the farm. Joe promises that the first meal at the new house will be a curry as The Curry Challege begins.

      • 2.52: Celebrate the Season Finale - Skillet Pork Chops & Butternut Squash

        Uh oh! Our Season Two Finale is off to an odd start when a corrupted file meant we had to re-record it from scratch, and someone isn't happy about it. We remember the big events (The Texas Freezepocalypse), the hits (Grain-Free Pizza Challenge, dropping our filter) the misses, and what we're changing as we dream about Season Three.


        Here's to many more seasons!

            • 2.49: It's All Just a Game - Chicken Squash Curry

              Aislynn wakes up to an epiphany of sorts: It's all just a game. The world's on edge so it is a comfort to learn that it's all a game. We talk our personal gaming histories leading straight into Voidwalkers, Creatrixes, Mages, and more. Our exploration into our Myers-Briggs testes continue along with fish sauce, burnt arms, cleaning out garbage, and much, much more.

                    • 2.45: Sex Life - Fancy Grab-and-Go Lunch Food

                      It was only a matter of time before we discussed our sex life and a new TV show, "Sex Life," finally gets us there. We talk about how important communication with the kiddos and one another is about the good old s-e-x along with how interesting it is that sex (and poop) are both 'inappropriate' for polite dinner conversation. Joe talks about his recent decision to do a sugar fast over the next 21 days and other introspections. 

                      And then there's the food! Fancy Grab-and-Go Lunch food to be exact. Sandwiches, soups, and pesto pasta with squash! Oh my!

                          We went to a new Teppanyaki restaurant, and, man, "do we have a lot to talk about." From the life-size Momoa Aquaman statue to the banging drums, everyone's going out again and making a lot of noise. Aislynn talks about her business today after we discussed it on the podcast one year ago this week. Throw in a little internet rage, shelling peas, instant Google, a larder, cucumber-dill soup, doggy-style activity and you got yourself an amazing Dinner Table Talk!
