Oh NOOOOOOOOO! There's a severed head in the crisper drawer! Either we've been sampling from Molly's adolescent-era stash of Stephen King novels, or this week's topic is lettuce. Tune in to find out.

Molly and Matthew graduated from college not so long ago. (The 90s just happened, right?) Today, they share semi-fond memories of the weird things they used to eat, including free pizza, box brownies, illegally microwaved leftovers, and gallons of frozen yogurt.

It's hot, hot, hot, and we've got a freezer full of fun. We're talking Creamsicles, Fudgsicles, Push-ups, and more. If it's not on a stick, it's not on our agenda. Explicit content. www.spilledmilkpodcast.com

Sure, nori and kombu are loaded with nutrients and umami, but are they funny? We can try. While splashing around in the ocean of seaweed humor, we learn how to shop for savory seaweed products, including tsukudani, Korean salted laver, and furikake. That's a funny word, right? www.spilledmilkpodcast.com

In the thick of summer, neither rain, nor sweatshirts, nor ignorance of beverage history is going to keep us from our sparkling drinks. See you in Cancun. The Cancun of the mind. Recipes: rosemary lemonade, egg cream. www.spilledmilkpodcast.com

It's simmertime! No rolling boil here, just a pan of simmering water and the scent of vinegar in the air. What can Molly teach Matthew about poaching eggs? Everything, as it turns out. Recipe: Oeufs en Meurette. www.spilledmilkpodcast.com

Severed hands, five dirty napkins, and a roll of Hob Nobs. That's what it's come to. We're talking junk food again, and this time, the focus is on England, Australia, and some of their finest delicacies: Mega Monster Munch, Tim Tams, Aero Mint, Cherry Ripe, Picnic, and, yes, Hob Nobs. With special thanks to Nichola [...]

You know the nonexistent proverb, "Rice is nice; eat it twice"? Well, we're taking it to heart this week with two kinds of tasty rice dishes and a handy chart. And believe me, our chart looks great on the radio. Recipes: Jasmine rice with crunchy toasted seeds; Okowa with pork and shiitakes. www.spilledmilkpodcast.com

Dusk. A lone boxcar clatters down the tracks. Squint, and you'll see two silhouettes huddled inside. One peels the lid off a tin can; the other rips open a plastic pouch with his teeth. They say grace over the feast of Vienna Sausages and Lit'l Smokies. Forget, for one moment, about the world outside this [...]

For a special Easter treat, Molly and I ate some Mammi, the Finnish delicacy made famous by Jenna in our Scary Food II episode. Features a sneak preview of next week’s full episode.

We're reporting live from Crusty Corners, the magical land where crusty, cheesy, bubbly goodness reigns. This was supposed to be a show about macaroni and cheese, but everything went horribly off the rails and devolved into Matthew's makeup tips and Molly's robotic endoskeleton. Recipe: Pasta with Asparagus in a Lemon Cream Sauce. EXPLICIT LANGUAGE. www.spilledmilkpodcast.com

We know you didn't think it was possible, but this week, we're even more full of beans than usual. (Dried beans, specifically, though we like canned, too.) We're tackling some of life's toughest questions: to soak or not to soak, to salt or not to salt, and what happens to Matthew when he eats happy [...]

We are not Shedding you: this is our richest, creamiest episode yet. It's a Country Crockload of buttery goodness, featuring a rigorous butter taste test and some trenchant observations that will get us banned from Iceland. www.spilledmilkpodcast.com

Like a zombie rising from your natto bowl, it's Scary Food II, and this time, thanks to listener calls, it's personal. Claire is afraid of lasagna. Jenna had an encounter with an unspeakable Finnish dessert. And Iris loves sukiyaki, except when...well, tune in. www.spilledmilkpodcast.com

Noodle, noodle, noodle all day. We're boiling up instant ramen. But wait! This isn't (just) our junk food tendencies taken to their inevitable final destination. We found some instant ramen with real depth. Dive into a cup noodle with us.

What's a carrot's evil twin? That's right, a parsnip! But they're far from evil. We love these sinewy roots roasted, pureed, mashed, stewed, and sauteed, and we're going to tell you how to select them and where you can st--er, how to cook them. (As Ira Glass likes to say, this episode acknowledges the existence [...]

You know the saying: when the spouses are away, Molly and Matthew eat soufflé. Except not really. This week, we share a piping hot Stouffer's French Bread Pizza and swap notes on peanut butter, Hot Pockets, ice cream sandwiches, and other delicacies we enjoy when Brandon and Laurie aren't home. Warning: includes an explicit description [...]

This week we tackle everyone's favorite fleshy meat...uh, let's start over. This week we obsess over snappy tube steaks. No, wait. There's no good way to say this, is there? It's the hot dog episode. We love them and we're not afraid to say it. Recipe: Cheater's baked beans.

We're taking stock of the situation...with our tongues. Wait, that can't be right. We're slurping chicken stock--homemade and factory-squeezed--with surprising results and some shameful admissions along the way. Recipe: Chicken Stock. www.spilledmilkpodcast.com

It's the dreaded clip show...with a twist! We're revisiting our favorite moments from our first year, but you've never heard these secret outtakes before. This ham-heavy trip down memory lane will have you clamoring for new episodes. Just like a regular clip show.
