Episodes

Episode 213: Raisins 04.02.2016

  Today we are tasting those masters of the sneak attack, Raisins. We play a new game entitled, "Raisin or Rancid?" while reminiscing about little red boxes, spackling and GORP. Things get serious when we bring up dark children's novels and violent parlor games. EXPLICIT. www.spilledmilkpodcast.com           Molly's Meatballs with Golden Raisins More information about Snapdragon Bran Muffins   Sup...

Episode 212: Kale 28.01.2016

Well, we've avoided being trendy long enough and are now finally ready to tackle the most beloved and massaged of all greens, Kale. We discover the power of pot likker and that kale gives us Hulk-like abilities. We like to think that a good kale salad gets better with age, kind of like us.

Episode 211: Sick Food 21.01.2016

We are on a roll with gross out episodes, returning this week with Sick Food. We learn about Matthew's mouth problems and Molly's vanilla tendencies while chatting about those edible comforts we consume while we are ill. The merits of flat Coke, puking sessions and phlegm disposal are high points and we suggest you don't listen to this episode while eating. EXPLICIT. www.spilledmilkpodcast.com    ...

Episode 210: Housekeeping 14.01.2016

Be warned, this could be our grossest episode yet, and contains no chewing at all. Today Molly and Matthew tell us about childhood chores, hospital corners and tales of household hygiene. Molly is all for glove empowerment but suffers from grout fear while Matthew has major dishwasher skills. There is a serious case of oversharing happening here. EXPLICIT. www.spilledmilkpodcast.com       Homebody...

Episode 209: Lamb 07.01.2016

Welcome to your favorite ol' podcast where we are embracing fatty fears to devour some lamb. We choose to forgo the mint jelly and focus on racks and shanks while working on our interviewing skills. Our childhood fixations lead us to the only good type of mullet and some serious rumblings.

Episode 208: Alternative Milks 31.12.2015

Today we brave Alternative Milks, where no udders are necessary. While sipping lame lattes, we dream of rice and decide everything tastes better in a nut bag. We make a New Years Pledge, reminisce about dating vegans, hot horse shoes and wonder if dreadlock milk is actually a thing.

Episode 207: Leftovers 24.12.2015

Molly channels Bob Brennan as she tried to convince Matthew to love leftovers as much as she does, which is a whole lot. Yes, we do indeed encounter the patriarchy again as we chat about chicken salads, cop out dinners and Matthew's husbandly virtues.

Episode 206: Mexican Junk Food 17.12.2015

Today we are chowing through a hand delivered box of Mexican Junk Food where we venture past fried bones to taste that sweet after burn of chili. We, as citizens of the world, feel compelled to bring you the truth, whether that be pompadours, neckerchiefs, invisible cowboys or the spurs of Molly's past.

Episode 205: Dates 10.12.2015

Welcome to our Date Show! We barely make it through the Arsenic Hour while discussing painted scones, hot tubs full of yogurt and of course, Tinder profiles. Listen for our insights on what makes a good date, and tips for which section of your local Co-op will yield the best Devils on Horseback.

Episode 204: Cold Cuts 03.12.2015

Today we take a pass at the deli counter for some choice selections of Cold Cuts, and encounter what may become Matthew's worst nightmare: the Bologna Roll-up. An epic meat themed duet gives way to ham aromas, rants against the patriarchy and stealing a kid's lunch.

Episode 203: Care Packages 26.11.2015

Today we are all lace and banana bread as we meander down memory lane to visit the Care Packages of our youth. We visit colleges, camps and Molly's bedroom back in Oklahoma while discussing makeout breakouts, luncheon loaves, Whistle pops and and wooing techniques. Warning, you may end up wishing you could wash your hair on a mountainside. EXPLICIT. www.spilledmilkpodcast.com     Support Spilled M...

Episode 202: Cheesecake 19.11.2015

What better way to consume cheese, than in cake form? We travel down memory lane and eat sour cream topped cakes while chatting water baths, cake cracks, evil furbies and whatever happened to Tom and Jerry. There may also be a long lost sibling mystery where cheesecake is the vital clue. EXPLICIT. www.spilledmilkpodcast.com         Iris's Tasty Cheesecake   8 oz. chocolate wafers, finely crushed (...

Episode 201: Pickles 12.11.2015

Today's episode is fraught with danger as Molly and Matthew confront these briny beasts and the cold case of the Pickle Fork. They travel down memory lane all the way to Vegas through vats of relish, salt and vinegar to decide between Claussen, Vlasic and Bubbies and of course declare their favorite pickle sizes. EXPLICIT. www.spilledmilkpodcast.com     We Can Pickle That from Portlandia Support S...

Episode 200: Meatloaf 05.11.2015

Welcome to the most educational Spilled Milk episode you'll ever hear. We welcome J. Kenji Lopez-Alt and his magnificent meatloaf while he spins tales of luxurious band camps, coed fraternities, and three-meat mixtures. We discuss the loaves of our youth, meat juices, and what this classic American comfort food means to us. Warning: contains MSG, slooshing, and deja vu.   Molly's Meatloaf From Del...

Episode 199: Cocoa Nibs 29.10.2015

Whether you say cacao nibs or cocoa nibs, today we show you a "different side of chocolate". Our episode is indebted to Alice Medrich and her genius ideas that guide us from bean to nib.

Episode 198: Grapes 22.10.2015

Today it would seem that any topic is fair game from farming conditions and grecian urn fetishes to snot pockets and otter's dietary habits. Grapes make a cameo appearance when we pit seedless against skinless, fresh against frozen and Champagne vs. Concord. Somehow we all win, and we all lose.

Episode 197: Sesame 15.10.2015

Infinitely Long and Exceptionally Silly. Today we open Sesame, rejecting the sweet to concentrate on the savory. Whether unhulled, re-hulled or hull-less, we discuss seeds, sauce, paste and oil while wondering about Elmo's gender and seed toasting techniques.

Episode 196: Microwaves 08.10.2015

It's light, it's quick, it's easy, it's Spilled Milk! Today we discuss our love and ambivalence for that bulky kitchen appliance, the Microwave. Our hosts have quite the history with them, with Molly's half-pint and Matthew's yard sale installation. We discuss bread sponges, upside down pizza, toasted nuts and ovaries and the power of a microwave's ding. EXPLICIT. www.spilledmilkpodcast.com   Toas...

Episode 195: Norwegian Junk Food 01.10.2015

We're bringing junk food back, Norwegian style. These Scandinavian treats bring delight and horror to our intrepid hosts who brave lompers, hair care products, gelee and almond poles.

Episode 194: Lasagna 24.09.2015

You say ri-cahhh-ta, Molly says ri-cohh-tta. Today we look beyond Stouffer's, fangirl over Lynn Rossetto Kasper and chat cheese beds while diving into squares of piping hot cheese and crusty corners. We get boiling and layering tips while staying true to tradition.

Episode 193: Melons 17.09.2015

Today we find out just how many innuendos can we fit into 20 minutes. With much slusching, we chat naturally perfumed melons and Molly's stealing habits. In typical Spilled Milk fashion there is of course a French melons vs. Japanese melons debate and we decide that next episode, we are going global.  EXPLICIT.  www.spilledmilkpodcast.com       Molly and Matthew sing karaoke  Melon made sippable ...

Episode 192: Natural Waters 10.09.2015

Spilled Milk: Bottled at the Source. Today we are tasting Natural Waters, purified, filtered and flavorized with no machete necessary.

Episode 191: Peaches 03.09.2015

It took 190 episodes for Matthew to find a peach that can live up to his exacting standards. Today we take a variety quiz, talk peach butts and de-fuzzing with a whole lot of slurping and dribbling. We also seek to discover if there is one perfect way to eat a peach. EXPLICIT.  www.spilledmilkpodcast.com   Spilled Milk Episode Prep  Matthew's first food article Support Spilled Milk Podcast!

Episode 190: Ginger Drinks 27.08.2015

Always fresh, always unfiltered. With frosty copper mugs in hand we consume ales and beers of the ginger variety. We learn about Molly's McDonald's phase, her flat past and ongoing internal struggle between Tim Riggins and Taylor Kitsch. With the help of the Golden Girls we learn the Facts of Life, or at least identify some specific fears for when the aliens invade. EXPLICIT.  www.spilledmilkpodca...

Episode 189: Jell-O 20.08.2015

Get ready for a whole lot of jiggling and gelling. Matthew confronts his traumatizing past with Jello-O shots while Molly debates American Gladiator vs. mainframes. We try cherry, grape and orange flavors with no shortage of slimy residue. Don't worry, we still find a way to bring up outdated pop culture references.
