Spilled Milk

Get back to earth because we're talking Buffalo Sauce! We're South of North Madre as we learn the brainy and accidental origin stories of this specialized sauce for unbreaded, fried and rubbed chicken. We're visited by George Clooney and Simon and Garfunkel as we talk Mumbo sauce, genius combinations and exploding mayo. Note that Molly is recovering and Matthew failed to thread the needle so give...

We leave dreams behind and enter reality today as we tackle Grocery Shopping. With help from Special Guest Alex Mayyasi we chat price comparison, admin nights, coupon clipping and competitive friendship. After proposing illegal schemes and learning the difference between Joan Rivers and Barbara Walters, we open our digital mouths and try to understand the psyche of the store with its loyalty progr...

Well it is definitively Spring, except when its not, so that means we're hyped up slugs fresh off the factory line to taste creme, peeps and 'chocolate'. After some salivation activation we cheese plate candy and declare them to be "Remarkable!" and "Violently Sweet!" before breaking some bunnies. After a very short appearance by Dr Peeper we treat our itchy cheeks the only way we know how.   Peep...

We're feeling remote and wonder if we need to schedule a vow renewal before we return to The Great Thai Curry, this time with an expert. Matthew becomes too cool for the show and Molly learns about popular music as we barely avoid jumping the shark by inviting Pailin back to give us the freedom to riff. We learn how a curry paste is like a jam, discover what nuggets to use when and sing the praise...

We're on the cusp of summer and maybe a little too happy. Today we have a cold noodle salad that is almost too beautiful to eat and Matthew shills his book and his app. After an exclusive reading we chat toppings, dressings and motorized tombstones before whining about under-equipped vacation homes. But hey, at least we're not the noodle police!   Just One Cookbook recipe Food Forum Kikkoman Magaz...

Today we're enriched, blessed and definitely not de-verbal as we talk Brio trains, curving tracks and when to say NO to Brioche.

Within the curves of our arms lies some sweaty takes. We're gaslighting our children just like the marketers gaslight us as we learn about the history and odors of deodorant so get ready for strong, ph balanced roll-ons, sticks and sprays. We wish we were sweaty blacksmiths, but instead we're sissified and bathing in grain alcohol. Raise your arms!   Episode 50: Toothpaste and Shampoo Episode 240:...

Today we're tatted up and backed by shadowy shell corporations to confront Matthew's nemesis— cold, creamy, savory spreads. Pimento Cheese has hovered over us for too long so now we can finally confirm: what goes on between the cheese, at the epic poetry slam and what the most up to date sandwich is. We end the episode by canceling candy, getting banned from the duck pond and teasing our listeners...

There will be blood. Today Matthew Scissorhands takes us from the Stone Age to the Golden Age as we get super nerdy about friable sharp tips.

Sup bruh, it's us your favorite Bohemians. Producer Absinthe helps us figure out now what we knew yesterday as we go deep on this toothpaste adjacent drink.

After assigning yet another segment theme song to Producer Abby, M &M recount sushi experiences both childish and VERY adult.

Today we tackle these countertop jars as we lose interest in birthdays and deliver inside jokes to subscribers only. We deal with dressings, Blink 002 and a brand new special guest who oozes everywhere before declaring that ignorance is bliss. Through emulsifiers and polarities we finally decide on our vinaigrette boundaries even as we deny mustard its due.   Matthew's Salmon Cucumber dish 4 salmo...

Today we encounter high pitched flavors as we taste the brioche of crackers. We name the world's greatest toy and crown a new PEFP as we endure chemical tangs, frissons of danger and failed musical analogies. After some homespun tales and an exciting Spilled Mail, we burst into song yet again even though we hate musicals because it is other people who burst into song. Support Spilled Milk Podcast!...

Hey buddies! We're coming to you from medieval times with yet another sandwich episode. As we spend wooden nickels on our favorite carousel rides we second guess our movie knowledge before letting slip a giant reveal about Mr. Etymology.

We're coming to you live from Matthew's ruined kitchen to discuss a breaded and fried meat sandwich created with great pounding force. (so. much. pounding.)

Today we're alone together as we take listeners along our solo travels to Paris, Tokyo, Rome, Lisbon and Bainbridge Island with Special Guest Producer Abby. While HOTPOTS walks alone we discuss loneliness, crying and experiments in small talk before realizing that there is a fine line between crazy and astute. Through whims and wandering we follow sage advice from WOTSL and share how much better j...

Today we tackle Matthew's fears, hoop houses and micro tubules as we taste these tiny format condiments. After our two musical hating hosts spontaneously burst into song, they ask when, where and why do we eat these? will it packet? and is it worth its weight? With some prudish notions and shlunks, sploots, shloops and stomps food drowning becomes inevitable.   Minimus.biz Condiments in Space Epis...

We're switching things up for Producer Abby's birthday and thank ourselves before secrets are revealed. We have a brush with a concussion and anoxic pockets as we taste a panoply of pickles then discuss their role in cuisine and in our lives as the universal friend before we decide to just close our eyes and keep crunching.   The Wayland Mill Episode 652: Bran 1985 TV commercial Matthew's Now but...

Have you met Matthew? Today we're looking for Epiphany in chippy boats, laminated layers and soggy shards. We ask 'what this stuff is?' as we endure another Mr. Etymology drop by and WAY too much math. We end by declaring our legacy and our intentions to buy a sheeter before receiving a very pithy Spilled Mail.   Dressler Parsons two part series on puff pastry Episode 94: Croissants Molly Wizenber...

Today we ask How a Rice Krispie Treat is like a glue gun? and What does LCM stand for? as we taste chewy, crispy congealed goop.
