Spilled Milk
Every week on Spilled Milk, writers/comedians Molly Wizenberg and Matthew Amster-Burton start with a food-related topic, from apples to winter squash, and run with it as far as they can go—and, regrettably, sometimes further.

Episode 337: Dutch Baby 14.06.2018 32:21
Today our topic is the Dutch Baby, though you'd be forgiven for forgetting that once we get started.

Episode 335: Scallions 31.05.2018 31:16

Episode 332: Turnips 10.05.2018 32:11
Today we wonder if turnips are perfect and who told who to shut up. Then we turn up the funk, get assertive and launch the Cutest Vegetable Pageant. After much debate, we finally decide to rutabaga which turns out to be much more musical than you'd expect. Actually, never mind, long time listeners will see this coming a mile away.

Episode 327: Frosting 05.04.2018 36:20
Today, we are slippery and unstable as we discuss Frosting in all its weepy glory. We reminisce over rosettes, butt milk and our empathy for electronics. Are you a corner or middle slice person?

Episode 324: Breakfast for Dinner 15.03.2018 31:32
Today we wade through traumatic children's literature and a research rabbit hole to bring you Brinner.

Episode 321: Handheld Meat Pies 22.02.2018 32:25
Today we (very carefully) taste molten meat inside flaky crusts and diagnose Meat Hand Syndrome while Molly gives us another signature Hot Take.

Episode 319: Fruit Curd 08.02.2018 31:13
In between knife-fulls of Sprite curd, we debate jam vs. curd vs. marmalade while going on some seriously weird tangents.

Episode 316: Pasta Widths 18.01.2018 36:10
We pretty much want to bathe in pasta, whether its extruded, cranked or dyed. Today we learn about Matthew's angelic past, Molly's preferred ribbon texture and where to find the perfect pasta nest. Excessive accent warning.
