Spilled Milk

Ever since airlines stopped serving meals on domestic flights, comedians have had nothing to talk about. That didn't stop us from having a rollicking discussion of what to bring on the plane, snacks served on the plane, and why Molly and Matthew are odoriferously unwelcome on planes. www.spilledmilkpodcast.com

Finally, an episode about our namesake. Molly and Matthew mustache their way through quarts of milk. We sidestep the raw milk debate and cow vs goat, but we take a strong position on chunky vs creamy. Moo. www.spilledmilkpodcast.com

If there are no onions involved, is it really cooking? Molly's Polish grandmother says no. If you don't have a Polish grandmother, this episode makes a good substitute. Molly and Matthew peel back the layers, have a good cry, talk shopping and chopping, and basically treat the supermarket onion display like their personal ball crawl.

How does a chicory root become a bunch of tightie whities? What can broccoli rabe teach us about Matthew’s masculinity? And if you close your eyes, can you taste the difference between escarole and radicchio? If you’re mad keen for bitter greens, this is the episode for you.

Molly and Matthew taste four classic chips, with surprising results. As you might expect, this episode consists entirely of crunching and made-up potato chip slogans. Are O'Boisies really o'boisterous? We're not sure, because they don't make them anymore. spilledmilkpodcast.com

Do you dare to touch the frozen banana? We did, and we lived to tell you about it in excruciating detail. You are going to be so proud of how many monkey and human anatomy jokes we resisted making on this show.

What's that smell, you ask? Why, it's Molly and Matthew, and we've just eaten enough garlic bread to ward off all vampires (and humans with functioning olfactory bulbs) within a hundred-mile radius. This week, we're talking hardneck garlic, softneck garlic, green garlic, garlic scapes, and blah blah blah, but let's cut to the chase: GARLIC BREAD.

Why do some fruits get better when you put them in a can and others turn into clammy eyeballs? We have no idea, but we keep opening cans of peaches, pears, fruit cocktail, and more, until we're up to our necks in heavy syrup. www.spilledmilkpodcast.com

Any episode that includes the question “do you prefer head-on or headless?” has got to be pretty good, right? We dive into the undersea world of shrimp and surface with a briny hangover and a couple of pretty awesome recipes.

Gather round the campfire, children, because we have ghost stories from darkest Florida that'll scare you boneless! Meanwhile, Molly's marshmallow catches fire seventeen times. That's not a euphemism. Then we make s'mores. (Also not a euphemism.) And fluffernutters. (Possibly a euphemism.) www.spilledmilkpodcast.com
