Episode 680: Quindecennial

Happy 15th birthday to us! It's our Crystal Anniversary so join us along Memory Lane as we reminisce about scrapped episodes, missteps, regrets and harrowing encounters before we, yet again, proposition Dennis Quaid. We share memories of corporate retreats and defunct segments before interviewing Mrs Cubbinson and Cookie Monster and sharing advice to our past selves. After a group pinkie swear we play Real or Fake Episode before Molly refuses to get sappy and we reveal the location of our next corporate retreat.Dire Desires - our spin-off miniseries about erotic thrillers  Episodes Mentioned GrapesApplesPuffy snacksHeirloom TomatoesPopcornKorean Rice Cakes with Japanese Breakfast/Michelle ZaunerCast Iron Skillet with Michele NorrisGrilled CheeseCroutonsNew Zealand Junk FoodCanned ChildhoodHeat WaveMemoriesWinter SquashRomantic FoodSaltGerman ChristmasIrish SpringYeast    Support Spilled Milk Podcast!Molly's SubstackMatthew's Bands: Early to the Airport and Twilight DinersProducer Abby's WebsiteListen to our spinoff show Dire DesiresJoin our reddit

We are pleased as punch to wish you a Happy New Year and ourselves a Happy 15th Birthday! We know the sequel is never as good as the original but this one includes alcohol and jungle birds so... five stars? Benjamin Franklin keeps showing up as we wonder if a martini is a punch and discuss the Grandmother of all cocktails, pervasive funks and red goo.

We know we always say this but seriously, how have we never done this before!? The anticipation is over because today there are no rules except the rules as we break off a piece of that graham cracker and loose wiles beget looser morals. We want to assure our listeners that ALL of our magnetic appliances are thoroughly tested against the unchaste passions of youth and that we've done a 180 on some of our policies. Episode 245: S'MoresEpisode 592: Mini-cookies  Support Spilled Milk Podcast!Molly's SubstackMatthew's Bands: Early to the Airport and Twilight DinersProducer Abby's WebsiteListen to our spinoff show Dire DesiresJoin our reddit

Today we revisit memories of school dances past, their soundtracks and dance partners as we wonder what 'spiking' the punch means and tackle pronunciation quandaries. Ice rings, ladles and wrestling lead us to noisy cooking and quiet meals before Matthew turns into a summer boy. Southern Living Punch RecipesRainbow Sherbet PunchMatthew's Now but Wow: Natsu-mon: 20th Century Summer Kid, by Kaz Ayabe and Chunsoft Studios Support Spilled Milk Podcast!Molly's SubstackMatthew's Bands: Early to the Airport and Twilight DinersProducer Abby's WebsiteListen to our spinoff show Dire DesiresJoin our reddit

Today we're talking all things, but not all things Breadsticks. We tackle these non-nostril shaped bread lumps that are burnished with time and butter as we use this opportunity as a soft launch for 'A Big Time for Cuisine' and 'Not Bad with Matthew Amster-Burton'. Dreams get dashed, thumbs get big and futures are thrown into question as the innuendos fly. Basic New York-Style Pizza DoughCulture Study Podcast on recipes by Anne Helen Petersen Support Spilled Milk Podcast!Molly's SubstackMatthew's Bands: Early to the Airport and Twilight DinersProducer Abby's WebsiteListen to our spinoff show Dire DesiresJoin our reddit

Welcome to the show of shows! Today we're bitter and sweet as we whack, tap and unwrap 20 segments of corporate history before milking our feelings.

Today we wake up from a nap and travel The Gateway to Gouda before diving into the most interesting topic ever before discussed on this show. After one of our classic scoops, we decide to leave podcasting behind to become EXTREMELY old artisan cheese porters just as soon as we find our hats. Cheeses TastedArtikaas 3yrBeemster XOAppel FarmsTJ's Dutch GoudaCheeseland Double Cream Support Spilled Milk Podcast!Molly's SubstackMatthew's Bands: Early to the Airport and Twilight DinersProducer Abby's WebsiteListen to our spinoff show Dire DesiresJoin our reddit

Gather round all ye who thirst for fruited bubbly water and put your cans together for this effervescent citrus beverage tasting.

Time passes but our love for Staples and R rated tomatoes will never die. We traverse reverse Memory Lane for some reason as we discuss the explosion of wetness that is the little teeny tiny tomato before Molly recounts a strange encounter and Matthew volunteers for The Secret Skirt Steak Scenario. Seared Skirt Steak with Blistered Cherry Tomatoes and PolentaThe laughing scene in Ramen GirlMatthew's Now but Wow: The Kamogawa Food Detectives by Hisashi Kashiwai Support Spilled Milk Podcast!Molly's SubstackMatthew's Bands: Early to the Airport and Twilight DinersProducer Abby's WebsiteListen to our spinoff show Dire DesiresJoin our reddit
