Susan From Scratch

Take a breath, it's Quarantini time. Shuffle a few well chosen fluids into a novel yet pleasing mixture and let yourself fall into that welcoming bunker with us. 

In this episode: We get down to business. Pig business that is. And by business, we mean what to do with the business a pig leaves behind. That's right, this episode is all about the business you get out of the business end of a pig. Also in this episode: A rooftop garden.

Relax, it's Quarantini time. Drip a bit of some tasty liquid into a vacant highball glass and slide down into that old happy bunker with us.

In this episode: At last - a hearty discussion about cheese. Cheese of various kinds. Cheese from various sources. Cheese in all its glorious manifestations. Also in this episode: a pig, a costume, and a surprise celebrity cameo.

Fear not, our second Quarantini episode is here. Pour yourself a snifty of something delish, and traipse on down into that dusty bunker with us.

In this episode: We take Susan back to her roots. And by roots - we mean that time she lived with a pig. Why did she live with the pig? What happens next? Listen and find out... (That's the point of the podcast. Were you expecting a complete summary in the show notes?)

Welcome to the inaugural episode of Quarantini - our response to the world's problems. Mix yourself up a nice something to drink, slip into something comfortable and head down into the bunker.

Okay - so things are a little weird right now. And we're not just talking about Susan. In this episode: we confront the strangeness of the world, and decide that a little self care is warranted. Also, we get ourselves out of the now four week long pickle we've been in through a timely (haha) review.

In this episode: We do give Susan a new memory? Or a part of a memory? Or some kind of fragment that might... oh god what have we done. How do we get out of this? Help!

In this episode: Honestly... not as much as we had hoped. But hey, what do you want? It's hard out there. Don't worry, we got the job done. Well, we didn't get the job done, but we did fill the time. And that's what matters, isn't it?

In this episode: We begin to outline a rough sketch of some kind of situation in the context of Susan's... home life? The details are still somewhat in flux, but there is certainly (possibly) a shepherd involved, as well as some cameos from a few old friends. Also in this episode: We semi-intentionally insult a large swath of American culture, accidentally ramble through the longest intro of all time, and discover that Malcolm has in fact seen "The Devil Wears Prada".

In this episode: Finally! We arrive at the thrilling middle of our dental saga. We can imagine no better conclusion (in a middle way) to this fraught tale. Also in this episode: The august questions of Bernard Pivot, Eugene Levy, The Strega Nona of bread, and The Goose.

In this episode: It turns out that the beginning of the tooth story we told last week was not the beginning but the end. Here, at last, we arrive at the true beginning. Next week? We tackle the middle.

In this episode: Few relationships are more sacred, or more emotional, than the bond between dentist and patient. Like great love stories or great tragedies, like the most sweeping epics and the most moving dramas, all truly important dental stories have beginnings. This is that beginning. Now that I'm thinking about it, I suppose all stories have beginnings? Wait, is that true? What about the neverending story? The movie has a beginning, but I haven't read the book... More on that next week.

We're back! Where did we go? It's not entirely clear. But what's clear now is that we're back. And we're putting our best foot forward as you can hear in this episode, which certainly contains a significant new memory for Susan that we have conjured up using our skills and efforts. What is that memory? You'll just have to listen to find out...

In this episode: Susan's journey through cop city takes on a dreamlike and, oddly, biblical tone. We herald the arrival of The Maccabeast, and make a quick yet timely reference to a favorite character from one of our oldest episodes.

In this episode: Susan visits an old friend, bringing havoc and disaster with her.

In this episode: the halloween theme (inexplicably) continues. Susan enters the zombiehole with the help of her trusty inverted umbrella and confronts the Kobe-ing miscreants. The merits of ostrich legs are also briefly discussed.

In this episode: We continue our halloween-themed exploration. Susan has cut the mango, that is certain. But what happens next? And how do zombie supply chain logistics figure into it?

In this episode: We begin to explore some part-time work that Susan undertook over the spooky season. Pits, dowels, and tombstones are also involved. Also discussed - babies, things that come out of babies, big dumb cats.
