Episode 757: Grocery Shopping with Alex Mayyasi

We leave dreams behind and enter reality today as we tackle Grocery Shopping. With help from Special Guest Alex Mayyasi we chat price comparison, admin nights, coupon clipping and competitive friendship. After proposing illegal schemes and learning the difference between Joan Rivers and Barbara Walters, we open our digital mouths and try to understand the psyche of the store with its loyalty programs, discounts and impulse buys before some truly disturbing Spilled Mail leaves us with spurting centers and orange scabs.   Episode 462: Dream Grocery Store Alex Mayyasi Planet Money: A Guide to Economic Forces that Shape Your Life Gastro Obscura Gastronomics podcast Planet Money Podcast The Curious Cult of Aldi on Bloomberg Matthew's Now but Wow! - Even the Good Girls Will Cry by Melissa Auf der Maur 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 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Well it is definitively Spring, except when its not, so that means we're hyped up slugs fresh off the factory line to taste creme, peeps and 'chocolate'. After some salivation activation we cheese plate candy and declare them to be "Remarkable!" and "Violently Sweet!" before breaking some bunnies. After a very short appearance by Dr Peeper we treat our itchy cheeks the only way we know how.   Peeps Wikipedia page Reese's New York Times article Matthew's Now but Wow! - Naomi Hirahara, Hiroshima Boy and Crown City 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 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

We're feeling remote and wonder if we need to schedule a vow renewal before we return to The Great Thai Curry, this time with an expert. Matthew becomes too cool for the show and Molly learns about popular music as we barely avoid jumping the shark by inviting Pailin back to give us the freedom to riff. We learn how a curry paste is like a jam, discover what nuggets to use when and sing the praises of spoons before we embrace our inner Handyman.   Episode 326: Thai Curry 1 Episode 432: Pomona Hot Thai Kitchen Website Hot Thai Kitchen 10th anniversary edition How To Make Any Thai Curry YouTube video Episode 583: Thai Salads 2 with Pailin Chongchitnant Episode 479: Fish Sauce with Pailin Chongchitnant Matthew's Now but Wow! - Maintenance of Everything, Part One, by Stewart Brand 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 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

We're on the cusp of summer and maybe a little too happy. Today we have a cold noodle salad that is almost too beautiful to eat and Matthew shills his book and his app. After an exclusive reading we chat toppings, dressings and motorized tombstones before whining about under-equipped vacation homes. But hey, at least we're not the noodle police!   Just One Cookbook recipe Food Forum Kikkoman Magazine Pretty Good Number One by Matthew Amster-Burton EkiWalk Walking App Matthew's Now but Wow - The Score, C.

Today we're filled with confusion as we ask 'what nouGAT is?', meet up with Apicius and ponder some existential ideas. After being compacted by waiting, we discover The Whipping Agent and Fluffy before succumbing to the essence of chew in this, our most post modern episode.   Episode 628: Ferrero Rocher 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 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Today we're enriched, blessed and definitely not de-verbal as we talk Brio trains, curving tracks and when to say NO to Brioche. After some butter bashing and a few compendiums we decide to lean into our Big Disc Energy and declare 'Let Them Eat Brioche' before steaming off.   Episode 655: Burger Buns Baking with Julia Homemade Brioche by Sally's Baking Addiction   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 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Within the curves of our arms lies some sweaty takes. We're gaslighting our children just like the marketers gaslight us as we learn about the history and odors of deodorant so get ready for strong, ph balanced roll-ons, sticks and sprays. We wish we were sweaty blacksmiths, but instead we're sissified and bathing in grain alcohol.

Today we're tatted up and backed by shadowy shell corporations to confront Matthew's nemesis— cold, creamy, savory spreads. Pimento Cheese has hovered over us for too long so now we can finally confirm: what goes on between the cheese, at the epic poetry slam and what the most up to date sandwich is. We end the episode by canceling candy, getting banned from the duck pond and teasing our listeners. All in all, it's another typical Thursday.   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 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

There will be blood. Today Matthew Scissorhands takes us from the Stone Age to the Golden Age as we get super nerdy about friable sharp tips. We debate knife blocks and mag strips then have a live on air knife sharpening demonstration before we decide to keep our stones to ourselves. Seattle Times Articlehistorical photos of ventres jaunes 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 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Sup bruh, it's us your favorite Bohemians. Producer Absinthe helps us figure out now what we knew yesterday as we go deep on this toothpaste adjacent drink. We meet Normal Pete and learn the green fairy's role in murder and mayhem while flouting bans and laughing in the face of madness.
