Spilled Milk

Here at Spilled Milk our sole purpose is to spark joy for our brave listeners. Therefore, we are eating a whole lot of gooey, yet somehow crispy, Garlic Bread. We wonder why it often accompanies pizza and pasta, what generation we come from and unveil an absurd childhood aversion to butter. We also give you a homework assignment.

It’s the kind of recipe that gets handed down and passed around, and this is my version, which is not too different from Kate’s except that she puts the garlic butter on top of the mozzarella! You can’t really go wrong here. 5 tablespoons butter1/4 cup olive oil6 cloves garlic (I use way way more than this and sometimes leave a little out to sprinkle on top raw), minced1 teaspoon black pepper1/2 teaspoon MSG1/

  Today we are tasting those masters of the sneak attack, Raisins. We play a new game entitled, "Raisin or Rancid?" while reminiscing about little red boxes, spackling and GORP. Things get serious when we bring up dark children's novels and violent parlor games.

Well, we've avoided being trendy long enough and are now finally ready to tackle the most beloved and massaged of all greens, Kale. We discover the power of pot likker and that kale gives us Hulk-like abilities. We like to think that a good kale salad gets better with age, kind of like us.

We are on a roll with gross out episodes, returning this week with Sick Food. We learn about Matthew's mouth problems and Molly's vanilla tendencies while chatting about those edible comforts we consume while we are ill. The merits of flat Coke, puking sessions and phlegm disposal are high points and we suggest you don't listen to this episode while eating. EXPLICIT. www.spilledmilkpodcast.com    

Be warned, this could be our grossest episode yet, and contains no chewing at all. Today Molly and Matthew tell us about childhood chores, hospital corners and tales of household hygiene. Molly is all for glove empowerment but suffers from grout fear while Matthew has major dishwasher skills. There is a serious case of oversharing happening here.

Welcome to your favorite ol' podcast where we are embracing fatty fears to devour some lamb. We choose to forgo the mint jelly and focus on racks and shanks while working on our interviewing skills. Our childhood fixations lead us to the only good type of mullet and some serious rumblings.

Today we brave Alternative Milks, where no udders are necessary. While sipping lame lattes, we dream of rice and decide everything tastes better in a nut bag. We make a New Years Pledge, reminisce about dating vegans, hot horse shoes and wonder if dreadlock milk is actually a thing. EXPLICIT. www.spilledmilkpodcast.com     The Death of Soy Milk

Molly channels Bob Brennan as she tried to convince Matthew to love leftovers as much as she does, which is a whole lot. Yes, we do indeed encounter the patriarchy again as we chat about chicken salads, cop out dinners and Matthew's husbandly virtues.

Today we are chowing through a hand delivered box of Mexican Junk Food where we venture past fried bones to taste that sweet after burn of chili. We, as citizens of the world, feel compelled to bring you the truth, whether that be pompadours, neckerchiefs, invisible cowboys or the spurs of Molly's past. EXPLICIT. www.spilledmilkpodcast.com  

Welcome to our Date Show! We barely make it through the Arsenic Hour while discussing painted scones, hot tubs full of yogurt and of course, Tinder profiles.

Today we take a pass at the deli counter for some choice selections of Cold Cuts, and encounter what may become Matthew's worst nightmare: the Bologna Roll-up. An epic meat themed duet gives way to ham aromas, rants against the patriarchy and stealing a kid's lunch.

Today we are all lace and banana bread as we meander down memory lane to visit the Care Packages of our youth. We visit colleges, camps and Molly's bedroom back in Oklahoma while discussing makeout breakouts, luncheon loaves, Whistle pops and and wooing techniques. Warning, you may end up wishing you could wash your hair on a mountainside. EXPLICIT. www.spilledmilkpodcast.com    

What better way to consume cheese, than in cake form? We travel down memory lane and eat sour cream topped cakes while chatting water baths, cake cracks, evil furbies and whatever happened to Tom and Jerry. There may also be a long lost sibling mystery where cheesecake is the vital clue.

Today's episode is fraught with danger as Molly and Matthew confront these briny beasts and the cold case of the Pickle Fork. They travel down memory lane all the way to Vegas through vats of relish, salt and vinegar to decide between Claussen, Vlasic and Bubbies and of course declare their favorite pickle sizes.

Welcome to the most educational Spilled Milk episode you'll ever hear. We welcome J. Kenji Lopez-Alt and his magnificent meatloaf while he spins tales of luxurious band camps, coed fraternities, and three-meat mixtures. We discuss the loaves of our youth, meat juices, and what this classic American comfort food means to us. Warning: contains MSG, slooshing, and deja vu.   Molly's Meatloaf From Delancey   1 tablespoon olive oil 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped 2 cloves garlic, chopped 1 1/3 cups fresh breadcrumbs About 1/3 cup whole milk, or enough to saturate the breadcrumbs 1 pound ground beef 1 pound ground pork 1 teaspoon fine sea salt 2 teaspoons fish sauce 2 large eggs, beaten well 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard 1/3 cup minced fresh Italian parsley 1/3 cup ketchup, plus 1/4 cup for topping the loaf Preheat the oven to 350 F.

Whether you say cacao nibs or cocoa nibs, today we show you a "different side of chocolate". Our episode is indebted to Alice Medrich and her genius ideas that guide us from bean to nib.

Today it would seem that any topic is fair game from farming conditions and grecian urn fetishes to snot pockets and otter's dietary habits. Grapes make a cameo appearance when we pit seedless against skinless, fresh against frozen and Champagne vs. Concord. Somehow we all win, and we all lose.

Infinitely Long and Exceptionally Silly. Today we open Sesame, rejecting the sweet to concentrate on the savory. Whether unhulled, re-hulled or hull-less, we discuss seeds, sauce, paste and oil while wondering about Elmo's gender and seed toasting techniques.

It's light, it's quick, it's easy, it's Spilled Milk! Today we discuss our love and ambivalence for that bulky kitchen appliance, the Microwave. Our hosts have quite the history with them, with Molly's half-pint and Matthew's yard sale installation. We discuss bread sponges, upside down pizza, toasted nuts and ovaries and the power of a microwave's ding. EXPLICIT. www.spilledmilkpodcast.com   Toasting nuts    Mug Meal Books

We're bringing junk food back, Norwegian style. These Scandinavian treats bring delight and horror to our intrepid hosts who brave lompers, hair care products, gelee and almond poles. Thank goodness Walters Mandler was here to save the day. EXPLICIT.www.spilledmilkpodcast.com
