Episode 630: Food Packaging

Today we confess that we just aren't that into it as we debate who is the student and who is the teacher. What kind of school is this!? Matthew puts on his NPR voice and Pliny the Elder makes a cameo appearance along with horses (of courses). After encounters with knobbly roots and mischievous elves we eventually suggest our listeners do some work for us. Episode 292: Bloody MarysSnøfallSnøfall 2 Matthew Now but Wow! - Hot and Sour Suspects by Vivien Chien 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 covered in faux leather, QR codes and chalk dust as we try to remember why we are doing this. We share our turn ons and turn offs, why we enjoy the tight and the sprawling and what the most grave disservice to humanity is as we discuss restaurant menus. We encounter bloopies and too much mystery before feigning surprise and discovering the thief of joy.

Today we're under the banner of taco as we eat delicious bags of garbage with while fondly remembering Colonel Mustard. Matthew plays Columbo and Molly gets the munchies as we discuss taco topology, surreal beans and Kermit conglomerates. Finally we celebrate and eulogize(?) Producer Abby's 10 years of hard labor. Episode 67: Hard TacosEddie Vedder sings "One" for U2 at The Kennedy CenterTaco Bell Wouldn't Exist Without San Bernardino's Mitla Cafe 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 are sinful, decadent and irritating Molly as we talk tasty gloop desserts and boudoirs. We discuss mayoral duties, friar juice and the right temperature for serving revenge before learning about some suspicious substitutions. Molly's TiramisuMolly's Now but Wow! - The Last Repair Shop short filmThe Food Podcast (also produced by Producer Abby)Producer Abby's book recommendation newsletter: the rolling ladder 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

While talking tomatillos we blow minds and shatter worlds as we conclude that it's all about the journey, not the destination. (But really, what is at the end of Memory Lane?) We follow the lego brick road as we encounter two Sheens, three husks and wakes of vultures all in an attempt to define "slimy". Easy Pressure Cooker Pork Chile Verde RecipeHello Em CoffeehouseMatthew's Now but Wow! - “Consider the Vulture,” by Meera Subramanian 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 open up the encyclopedia to learn some "fun" facts about hot seeds as Molly goes deep into mustard territory while Matthew warily observes from afar. We're hot and cold, seedy and smooth, contagious and inspiring as we discuss equivalent sins, foot paste and our top 3 World's Fair inventions. BeauforRoland Extra StrongPommery Moutarde de Meaux grainy mustardAmora  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

Apparently Matthew and Molly accept vegetable cakes as a concept so they immediately dive right into a cheesecakecarrotcakechuckanutbayslice with conical rasps and dreams of strong greavy. After their sense of wonder is reawakened, they realize that carriot cake is very necessary for all such as delight therin and are so served.Note: Producer Abby edited this episode under duress. My Mother’s Passion Cake,Molly wrote about this recipe from Bon Appetit / Epicurious Yossy Arefi's Snacking Cake Carrot CakeMatthew's Now but Wow! - MSPAINT, Post-American 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

Close your windows and put on your mechanical gumshoes because we're talking Meringue today! We're totally stable as we recount the meringues of our youth, share our 7 minute in heaven dreams and (barely) avoid weeping all over the matrix before confessing our true thoughts on tasting menus. Cocoa Nib Pavlovas from Orangette Alice Medrich’s recipe for Meringue mushrooms Chewy Gooey Crispy Crunchy by Alice Medrich 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 confront our taste memories of steaming food to see if they deserve their bad reputation. We provide invisible jokes, fragrant scents and forgotten Simpsons characters to decide what steams and what doesn't.  Not Available Elsewhere.

Today we're sticky like Pooh Bear as we engage in some Christmas foreplay and hop on the swicy train. We like to bring about taste solutions through proprietary blends as we make prank calls without punch lines while tasting some Mike's hard honey. Eventually, we become overfull of feelings when Molly says the most disgusting thing of the past century. Hot Honey from Food52Paulie Gee'sMilk DrunkEmily the CookbookPaper Plane CocktailMolly's Now but Wow! - Society of the Snow on Netflix 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
