Description

Every week on Spilled Milk, writers/comedians Molly Wizenberg and Matthew Amster-Burton start with a food-related topic, from apples to winter squash, and run with it as far as they can go—and, regrettably, sometimes further.

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. Seared Skirt Steak with Blistered Cherry Tomatoes and PolentaThe laughing scene in Ramen GirlMatthew's Now but Wow: The Kamogawa Food Detectives by Hisashi Kashiwai 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 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. Calling all LILYs !

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.

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.

2024-08-1544:11

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. The Filipino Instant Pot CookbookMatthew's Now but Wow! - A Sign of Affection 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

2024-08-0842:38

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.  Common Good Café’s Perfect PopoversGrand Central Baking BookTaco Bell x WildfangMatthew's Now but Wow! - Let the Kids Dance, KUOW 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

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.

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." Nerds Candy: All About an American Favorite 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 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.  Le Creuset history pagespraying enamel videoSpilled Milk Bolognese sauceMatthew's Now but Wow! - Tenderheart by Hetty McKinnon 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 Matthew channels his inner NPR persona and we get prissy about cereal. Since we are not skeptical about this format we plant, mill, refine, thresh and tan as we invent new cereals and wonder if our reaction is due to "vacation palate".

just deleted this subscription...turned political. these people are extreme and they dont even know it. Last straw was apologizing for mentioning Little House on prairie, but then talking about song with suggestive title. stick to food and maybe people would stay

I keep asking myself why I listen to this podcast cuz... whoa. this episode is mislabeled. icebox cake, while mentioned, was discussed less than cannibalism. no, the attempted humor didn't work.

Molly is so rude. I gotta say, I think I'm done with this show. It's gotten really boring and I really can't stand Molly anymore. She is just insufferable.
