11/14/2024
Gather round all ye who thirst for fruited bubbly water and put your cans together for this effervescent citrus beverage tasting. As we sample this spray of the ocean with a hint of mint straight from the cooler, Matthew transforms into a prepper with an accent before dunking on Dayton while Molly travels back to 1993.

Episode 671: Cherry Tomatoes
11/7/2024
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.

Episode 670: Black Licorice
10/31/2024
Today we're just a couple of harmless eccentrics in our dotage as we provide listeners with another classic chewing episode with strong dirt components. Its true that Molly has come a long way, but she still gets weepy as she tries to shirk her professional duty while Matthew decides to get rich or die trying. Toxic and poisonous flavors open up to us before we share some accidental origin stories and our failed attempts at palette expansion.

Episode 669: Espresso Powder
10/24/2024
Today we're synonymous with the product and we go wild with reconstituting and brewing these dehydrated coffee crystals. Molly tries to off-road Memory Lane before Matthew decides to vibe on spice rubs. We decide "if you got it, use it" as we recount days of April Fool's past.

Episode 668: Carob
10/17/2024
Today we are foisting more ancient history on you as we return to the Fertile Crescent with fond memories and family ways. Molly explains the rise and fall of carob and its dubious health claims while Mr. Etymology's soul goes on a journey. We hope to avoid a specific smell and deal with our "thwarted desire for what is forbidden" as we learn that sometimes almonds are pecans.

Episode 667: Udon
10/10/2024
Today Host and Listener Matthew goes deep into the wonderful world of udon while attempting to court the Kennedys and explain the concept of compound to Host Molly. Our hosts discuss many, but not all, variations of this low hydration noodle while avoiding lawsuits and welcoming dipping sauces. Finally, they celebrate an unjustly ignored snack.

Episode 666: Possessed Foods
10/3/2024
What better way to kick off spooky season than with an episode dedicated to devilry, danger zones and possessions? As we hesitantly traverse our malodorous memory lanes, we encounter key parties, baby loaves and fuzzy green inhabitants before escaping into dream territory. This sounds weird, here you listen.

9/26/2024
Please note that we don't know what we don't know as we discuss nation state creation and travel through the Fertile Crescent, Mesopotamia and Babylonia to learn more about this delicious thing with a pocket. No re-gumming allowed! After waxing nostalgic about our missed panini experiences, Matthew assigns himself some homework and Molly misses tornados?

We blush as we discuss sweetie nights of skin contact, straddling the future and the past to learn about Rosé. Matthew's steps into the void and does his part to bring about Judgement Day as he reveals a diabolical secret and a future hope. We're pressed, crushed and fermented as we get snobby about Chardonnay and yearn to be where the people are.

Episode 662: Trail Mix
9/5/2024
Just when you thought it was safe to put on mascara, we take a journey to Mount Fire armed with half a potato, perfectly legible labels and some trail mix. Things veer off course almost immediately as we encounter 2pm situations, eleventh hours and too many bears while hoping to be more than the sum of our parts. And, believe it or not, Producer Abby is still our producer. Yes, for this entire episode.

Episode 661: Pullapart Bread/ Tear-and-shares
8/29/2024
Today is a new start for us! We taste and talk these warm and soft, savory and sweet plucking cakes as we are visited by Ronald Reagan and Keanu Reeves and Gary. Then, we become aghast at the lack of integrity and wonder what could go wrong as we get stoked for stoats. Note: Though Hungary is mentioned multiple times, at no point do M & M remember that Producer Abby grew up there and may have some insight to share...

Today we reminisce about the old days, wonder about Neanderthals and pitch another spin off podcast as we get to pickin. We attempt to save the tooth roots and minimize our toothpick anxiety as we list out alternative uses for these roasted noodle sticks and encounter more raccoon penis bones than expected. Remember! We are Sex Positive. Music Negative.

Episode 659: Big Macs
8/15/2024
Listeners, we're ready to confess. We just ate our very first Big Macs and are prepared to make a statement. Many statements. An episode full of statements. Along the way we start our new law firm, put on a musical and make dangerous plans before encountering burrito fountains and slippy sauce guns. Finally, we "showcase our engaging and thought-provoking dialogue" by sharing actual practical advice for recipe binder organization and getting picky partners to participate.

Today we're popping off on Popovers, a "cool concept" with "eggy batter" and "frissons of danger". We're talking hot cups, light rolls and poop overs as we discuss methods and recipes, and decide how best to serve them to Lady Moldy-Marmalade and Lord Stumpy-Muffins. Finally we hiss about taco pockets and Fight Club scenarios before Molly decides not to come. over.

Huh? Today we're one serving sized and trying out these... puddings? yogurts? desserts? breakfast? Putting on our scientist lab coats, we're confounded by sugar bits and creamy crumbs as we devour these PLPs and declare that these are the tits.

Episode 656: Mascarpone
7/25/2024
Honestly, this entire episode is a shitshow. But its OUR shitshow you know? M and M attempt to discuss mascarpone like competent adults and almost immediately devolve into chaos. What is this? What is cheese? What is nutty? But really, WHAT IS THIS STUFF? Molly ignores Matthew's wisecracks as they try to separate curds and whey while avoiding hand dipped stress injuries. Butter, relax ok?

Today we use fiery rants and invisible sidekicks to tackle these challenges filled with savory fillings. We're enriched and decidedly NOT rustic as we tell snobby buns to "sit down and shut up!" Finally, Molly remembers something important and Matthew recommends silent eating.

Episode 654: The Nerds Culinary Universe
7/11/2024
WTF is happening here? you may be thinking. We would also like to know. We're drooling and dry swallowing over the taste of sleep-away camp as we devour all the varieties of anthropomorphic pebbles we could find all while discussing Meryl Streep's filmography. We eat these bump balls with abandon and gusto which is probably why the AI transcript generator declared "Their enthusiasm for the candy was evident throughout the conversation."

Episode 653: Enameled Cast Iron
7/4/2024
Today we're on assignment from Michele Norris to keep talking cast iron skillets. Molly goes to confession and we're not interested as we talk pots, lies and mustaches. The more we learn about these crucibles and cauldrons the more we realize that we're often loathsome and non-comedogenic.
