Alie’s Mealbreakers, Jackie’s Chickpeas, New Hobbies

By on April 22, 2020 in podcast, Uncategorized

Alie Ward is here but only because we aren’t serving any raw tomatoes. Jackie Johnson is here too, along with her diplomas, to tell us about her adventures in the kitchen (chickpeas of the sea!) and discuss the ethics of creating her own Chooch clones. I have some sad news to share about the passing of a beloved listener but also I need to debate Swiss cheese and whether it deserves a seat my table. Plus Alie’s whittling accident, an update on Jackie’s exclusive scoop from last week and Tony’s bananas. This episode is not as much about food as this description makes it seem! Also some Gal Chat!

Daniel Let Me Finish The Puzzle!

By on April 18, 2020 in quarantine

I’ve talked on my podcasts about this super difficult Edward Gorey puzzle I bought on Amazon because it was the only one that would arrive in any sort of timely manner. If it were up to me I would have bought something much more colorful and cheesy but monochromatic goth it is.
