Spilled Milk

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 (...

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.

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...

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.

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.

Infinitely Long and Exceptionally Silly. Today we open Sesame, rejecting the sweet to concentrate on the savory.

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...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

What’s the deal with Frozen Yogurt? Once again, we get stuck in the past as we discuss whether fro-yo is just topping deep or is it actually more than a creamy conduit?

Today, blueberries are gracing us with their presence, much as we are gracing your eardrums. Whoever said chivalry was dead hasn't met Matthew Amster-Burton, who always give fair warning when throwing garbage out the window. We are chatting size preferences, high bush vs low bush, mixtapes and Amadeus. EXPLICIT. www.spilledmilkpodcast.com     Rustic Tart Support Spilled Milk Podcast! Molly's Subst...

Today we are spicy, fresh and chatting about ginger. We may not stay totally on topic but we do get another chance to show off our poetry prowess.

No punch bowls or ice rings here. We are using straws, boxes and communal vessels. Though she's had a few bad experiences with Fruit Punch in the past, Molly braves through artificial flavoring like a pro. Through band names, flower beds and riddles we are determined to find out what fruit is actually inside Fruit Punch. EXPLICIT.  www.spilledmilkpodcast.com     Kool Aid commercial Royal Blood ban...

The heat is literally frying/melting/murdering our brains so please accept our pre-emptive apology for the rambling nonsense in this episode. While our thermometers climb past 90, we chat cool treats and find that our love for Madonna and Beyonce is fierce.  Molly and Campari are sitting in a tree while Matthew, well... haters gonna hate.

As usual we are always trend following and never trend setting. We brought you energy drinks, so now its time for Energy Bars. We wonder why you'd ever want to replace a meal, how long it takes for an energy bar to take effect and if they are just worse oatmeal cookies. Matthew and Molly judge on fuel, performance and aftertaste power. Predictably, things get dirty almost immediately.     www.spil...
