Spilled Milk

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.

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

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.

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

There are still tickets available for our April 19th Live Show here! We are going door to door bearing laughter, joy and mint chocolate treats. Mint is our favorite chocolate pairing, though we think that could be due to dependence rather than merit... We attempt to earn our badges in financial literacy, mob mentality and rekindling relationships. www.spilledmilkpodcast.com  

Click here for tickets to Spilled Milk Live on April 19th at Town Hall Seattle!   Today Molly and Matthew go back to their roots to chat about the first dish they ever learned to cook, scrambled eggs. The nuances of egg preparation, when to cheese and how much to butter are all fair game while puns are strictly forbidden. www.spilledmilkpodcast.com   

Hot and bubbly,  we are stabbing our way into the 70s with Molly's first foray into fondue. The conspiracy behind the creation of fondue is revealed as are past experiences with French stoner dudes, and clergy members. www.spilledmilkpodcast.com     Raclette Set  Bubbling Fondue Instagram video

We celebrated our 5th birthday/anniversary with a live show where we broke our slogan by sharing cake with the audience. Molly and Matthew reminisce about their childhood birthday parties, cakes and presents. There is a lot more crying and fainting than you'd expect. We try classic yellow cake with chocolate frosting, Funfetti and Molly's birthday cupcakes while pondering June's pastry chef aspirations. Thanks to all who submitted their  funny childhood birthday stories!traumatic Special Guest: Becky Selengut.

Get ready to concentrate. When you are hot and sweaty from watering your potted plant, nothing is better than a cool, refreshing, bottled and carbonated "orange" flavored beverage. Mexican carbonation, the Vietnam War and Russian history all play an important part of this tasting. This episode comes with a special alternate ending! EXPLICIT. www.spilledmilkpodcast.com      

Crunch. Crunch. Crunch. Today we delve into fennel, its seeds, pollen, fronds and bulbs. Matthew finally admits to his mysterious past while we wonder about this plant's licorice flavor and price point.      Jill Santopietro's Braised Fennel with Meyer Lemon and Parmesan   Shaved Fennel Salad with Mushrooms and Parmesan

We don't know much about football, so we are participating in the only way we know, the beer. Join us as we slosh down memory lane, wonder where the calories in light beer go, which beer has the best cans and if our beer of choice makes us hipsters. Go Seahawks! www.spilledmilkpodcast.com          Beers tasted   Budweiser Coors Light Rolling Rock PBR Rainier Bud Light Lime

It is the dead of the winter and our lips are paying the price. We try a plethora of lip balms and finally admit to our Carmex addiction. Waxy, fruity, glossy or tinted, these balms are smooth on the lips but rough on the tongue. How often do you lip balm?   www.spilledmilkpodcast.com      

Rise and Shine! Today we consume yet another doughy breakfast item slathered in syrup. Molly and Matthew struggle to keep things clean while wondering what the opposite of Belgian is and whether a waffle is just a pancake in disguise.
