Sticky Asian Ribs - Turnip Mashed Potatoes - Caishen: God of Wealth and Power - Burning a Body in Texas - Jewish Food Festival Report - A Visit to Cured

Support the Show: The Virtual Tip Jar

Joe philosophizes about improvisational growth in the kitchen and happily prepares two racks of ribs Sticky Asian-style. Turnip Mashed Potatoes on the side: a step-by-step. Big, BIG family news: we got a dog. Caishen, God of Wealth and Power....a toy poodle. Joe's obsessed with Aislynn's last wishes to 'dig a hole and set my body on fire' and has a paper trail of research into whether or not it's doable. All these trips to San Antonio find Aislynn at Cured again, making Joe extremely jealous.

Unanswered Questions:

• How was The Jewish Food Festival?
• How legal is it to set a corpse on fire on your own property?

TableTopics is a game we've picked up along the way that is simply a box of questions designed to create conversation. After a few episodes, the good folks at Table Topics sent us several packs like 'What Would You Do?,' 'Love and Happiness,' 'Not Your Mom's Dinner Party' and more. We draw a random question from a random pack every week and we never see the question before we draw it on the show.
