Episode 91: King Cakes, Cookies and Buns

On the eve of Mardi Gras, Jessica and Dana trade Weird Al stories and talk about the magic of New Orleans.  An attempt to make "mug cookies" leaves Dana with a case of the giggles and the realization that she is not meant to be a baker.  Jessica demands teen agers "back off" in a Target check out line and has to hold herself back from an altercation with a woman who walked into traffic while staring at her phone.  She Blinded Me With Science Corner features a young engineer who is turning plastic into sustainable durable bricks that are stronger than concrete.  Are You Gonna Eat That Corner has Jessica and Dana puzzled as to why children in Iceland spank their parents with a stick in order to get pastry treats before the start of Lent. Rave #1 is Joshua's Heart, a non profit 501c started by a 4 year old child dedicated to the fight against global hunger and poverty.  Rave #2 is The Denan Project, an all volunteer non profit 501c providing a long term solution to providing health and development assistance to under served people living in some of the world's poorest places.
