RAW Dinner: Recent Episodes

Anthony Dalton

RAW Dinner isn’t just a clever name: this podcast is a RAW recording of our family’s dinnertime - our little slice of American life - completely unedited and unscripted. It's like our family oral history, told one meal at a time.

You might laugh or cringe - maybe you’ll get rubbed the wrong way. So all of this is just my long-winded way to say that this podcast may contain content that is not suitable for all listeners. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

or awesomely

not me this time.

we don't really partake in much variety

Do we just make too much food?

Chinese food is delicious.

how does Evie not love this?

terrible, just terrible

who knew it would be that easy?

Homemade pizza dough from a handwritten recipe card we could hardly read.

seems like a random night.

and the regret of not making more garlic bread.

so sleepy.

And we're back. Too many late nights. And hangriness.

Now with added punctuation!

so tired

could use a respite and some oregano

gotta get rid of it somehow

and I can hear the TMNT power up in my head

waste not

can't believe it's real

now with less anger!

wish it was Diet Cola.

frustration and anger meets the other white meat

not the best combination

and Kel's not-so-dinner talk.

why don't we have this more often?

And Parler.

sharing too much information, one ailment at a time.

E loves shrimp

lots of sugar and hot sauce

...

smothered.

roasted.

can't win em all.

somewhat traditional fare

bound to happen.

gotta eat em before they all turn into penicillin.

I was grumpy making it.

It's a little spicy.

leftover chicken made into something. it's what happens when there's no plan.

thankfully, this one worked out.

with taters, beets, chicken, and bread

we do a lot of leftovers

because my parents didn't want to be recorded at dinner

... I think I'm running out of things to put here...

beef, cheese, pasta, sauce - plus some pesky vegetables

... I...

recorded the whole movie

beautiful

ehhh

and noodles.

sounds gross. not all at the same time.

scratch and sniff

it hurts. not the mac.

it happens.

damn good.

oops.

Ken and Tony talk shop while leftovers grace the table again.

and Kel loses her damn mind.

not real turtles.

it's the spices that make it grey.

leftovers divides us. we just eat all over the house.

non jenga brought us back together.

We never sit around the table and eat lunch, but we did so I guess never say never.

And the recorder died at dinner, so...

someday we'll have a dinner that E doesn't cry.

A phone call from mom interrupted us. I decided not to record her conversation, which is illegal without permission in the state anyway.

So many.

And we decorate a pre-built gingerbread house, 'cause we suck at building it from scratch.

Leftover mashed potatoes, beef, corn, leftover Tennesee Onions and some cheese. Not your normal pie, and oh yeah, and Evie spitting.

Almost done with the Thanksgiving leftovers.

Time to nuke dinner. Is that still a saying?

We just didn't want turkey again. Pizza Friday! And for some reason, we play Scrabble Junior for a few minutes then give up and play not-Jenga, the generic wooden tower stacking game.

This podcast may contain content that is not suitable for all listeners.

Pull up a seat and join the family during the biggest dinner of the year. There's a new guest, a crap ton of food, and a turkey that is questionable. This is raw after all.

BONUS: Dessert continues the conversation, complete with pumpkin pie and brownies and a little too much whipped cream.
