Mediterranean Feast: Greek Steak Salad, Baba Ganoush, Basil Hummus - Healing Trauma - Steak, Baked Potato, and Salad - Touring a Local Dairy Farm
Support the Show: The Virtual Tip Jar
After celebrating the 21st birthday of her son, Aislynn takes us on a trip to Knolle Dairy Farm starting with a baby cow on the porch. She rustles cattle, visits the birthing room, and explains why and how the Knolles shifted from an old-school dairy farming model toward newer, more-ethical methods. After offending all 'basic food eaters,' we do it our way with a beef-heavy week at The Dinner Table. Joe details how he makes a steak, ignores Aislynn's furrowed brow and Aislynn declares her love of baked potatoes. A DTT repeat: our homemade ranch dressing. Later, Aislynn cons Joe into making a Mediterranean feast with baba ganoush, basil hummus, and Greek steak salad.
WIth teens around The Dinner Table often, sex is a topic that comes up from time to time. Nothing's off-limits at The Table and who better to equip the kids with the information they need? More females have experienced trauma than we, as a country, want to talk about and Aislynn leads us into a deep conversation about healing that trauma individually and as part of the universal collective that requires that healing.

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.
