Spilled Milk

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? Buckle up as Matthew and Molly take us on a roller coaster of topics that may not actually go anywhere. Links:Cruel Temptations theme songArrested Development - "Tennessee"

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

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. Our knowledge of pop culture is in rare form here as Bennifer and Bourne make an appearance and we get another relationship rumor started.

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 band

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.

Summer gifts us with glorious strawberries so we are gifting you with an heirloom variety quiz. We chat strawberries whether they be raw, cooked, jammed, stolen or hulled and find that there is little in this world that doesn't fluster Matthew. Be sure to stick around for the poetry reading.

With more straddling and mashing than necessary, we present you with Banana Bread. Sure what the freezer does to a banana is unspeakable, but we go there. For the listeners. Through speckles, mush, chunks and MILFs, today's conversation will make you wish you could turn back time.

Recording live from the wilderness where we get traumatized by the outdoors and beverage laws while on our Picnic. We discuss food temperatures and transportation, celebrity guests and encounter more bugs than any other episode before. So much nature.

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.spilledmilkpodcast.com     Kind Bars Power Bars Larabars Luna Bars Cliff Mojo bar Big 100 Colossal Meal Replacement bar

The listeners spoke and... we didn't really listen. Today we address the best and worst of crispy, cheese soaked Nachos. Toppings, cheese ratios, high school reunions and balding are all up for discussion and we also find out what cheese and underwear have in common. EXPLICIT. www.spilledmilkpodcast.com    

The things we do for this show. Today we sacrifice our tongues as we travel down Hot Sauce Alley where the conversation quickly turns morbid. Matthew discovers how cool he really was as a child and Molly reveals her "50 Shades of Grey" past. www.spilledmilkpodcast.com    Thai Beef with Chilis and Holy Basil

The stakes have never been higher as M & M examine American puddings, not to be confused with British puds. This indefinable substance grows a skin, scrambles eggs and could give us an exclusive insight into Molly's newest project. We also play casting director for the upcoming Spilled Milk Remake.

Today we stir and taste non-peanut Nut Butters. Listen to scintillating conversation regarding almond butter phases during college, grease vs. sludge and nut arbitrage. We are talking buttering nuts and seeding butter while the nut aromas get to our heads.www.spilledmilkpodcast.com       Stirring video 

After 175 episodes, we have finally selected our ideal chopsticks and feel ready to tackle Soy Sauce. We chat X-Files, cartoons, fairy tales and feigning interest while drowning our rice in The Black Ooze. Will we or won't we be able to differentiate between high end and low end sauces? www.spilledmilkpodcast.com     And Eat it too podcast  Molly's article  Kikkoman commercial video Dragonfly sauce         Yamasa Marudaizu

Yes, we were given yet another box of foreign goodies submitted for our pleasure and judgement. Indian Junk Food is super classy although its looks, taste and smell don't always exactly align. This is a seriously bangin box full of confusing aromatics, exuding liquids and squeaking cheese. www.spilledmilkpodcast.com     

  For optimal results, your cohosts recommend bathing and basting yourself in the sizzling slurry of deliciousness that is brown butter. Be sure to hold on tight to your chemise as we encounter nutty food babies, Lynn Rossetto Kasper imitations and foaming flecks. www.spilledmilkpodcast.com       Sole Meuniere    Brown Butter Cornbread    Molly's Spoon Cookies   Smitten Kitchen Rice Krispie Treats   Tough Cookie Cinnamon Butter         

Journey into the minds of geniuses as Pat Benatar and Kenny Loggins present an ode to childhood. We packed each other a meal filled with goodies from our childhood lunch boxes where we find that baggie technology has not improved since our mothers controlled our food choices. Full of toxic chemicals, dry cookies, sweaty carrot sticks and stolen lunch items we discover Molly's equestrian past and can only hope that someone other than Matthew gets his references. www.spilledmilkpodcast.com       Cédric Villani   

As grown ups, we can eat whatever we want for breakfast. Today we grab some brooding breakfast desserts from the shelf where they have lived for who knows how long. Cake nuggets, waves of powdered sugar and sweaty glaze are all part of this complete breakfast. www.spilledmilkpodcast.com   

This Sunday is our live show! Get your tickets here! With mouths afire we unveil the many layers of onion's little sibling, the shallot. We discuss this sexiest of alliums in the raw, fried, pickled and crisped along with that most vital of questions: Does size really matter?

Still tickets available for our live show on April 19th in Seattle!    Once again, a box of foreign delights has landed on our table, ergo we are forced to partake and pass judgement. This time, Korea lends its treats to our tongues and we hold nothing back. Kit Kat etiquette rules are established, theories are floated and there are more Korean treats in our youth than you may think. www.spilledmilkpodcast.com
