Join Caroline Wilson and Corrie Perkin for Ep 72 - 'You're Shameless!'. 

We check in with our 'Goal of the Month' pledges and review a big week of celebrations (including a Hen's Night, Brian Cook's star studded 30th dinner and the Do Re Mi reunion).

After the Morrison government experienced an historic loss in parliament yesterday we discuss the ramifications for Bill Shorten ahead of the next election and we look into the sacking of Matildas coach Alen Stajcic. 

Corrie's Valentine's Day inspired "Crush of the Week" is former judge Michael Kirby.

In "BSF" Caro's recommending not one but three movies Vice, On The Basis of Sex and Green Book, Corrie's been reading Chloe Hooper's The Arsonist  and with a nod to Tony Mokbel - Caro shares her favourite new zucchini recipe (see recipe below). 

The ratings success of Married At First Sight is making Caro more than a little grumpy this week and in "6 Quick Questions" we debate the essence of pesto, talk Barnaby Joyce and Wallace Stegner and get a little excited about John B Fairfax investing in a new investigative arm of Crikey. 

To wrap things up Corrie shares a slightly unconventional "GLT" for anyone battling with a testy toddler. 

Crushed Courgettes (Zucchini)

from Yottam Ottolenghi’s Simple.

3 large courgettes, cut in half lengthways, then into 6cm pieces (850g)

1 tsp dried mint

5g picked thyme leaves

70 ml olive oil

1 whole head of garlic, separated into unpeeled cloves

2 tbsp chopped mint leaves

1 ½ tbsp chopped dill

1 tbsp lemon juice

Salt and black pepper

 

Pre heat the oven to 200C fan

Place the courgettes in a bowl with the dried mint, thyme, oil, ¾ teaspoon of salt and some black pepper. Mix, then transfer to a medium baking dish: you want the courgettes to form a single layer, cut side up and sitting slightly overlapping. Bake for 15 minutes, then add the garlic cloves and bake for another 15 minutes, until the courgettes have softened and taken on some colour. Transfer everything to a colander (set over a bowl or the sink), pressing the courgettes so that they start to release some of their liquid. Set aside to cool for at least 30 minutes, discarding the liquid released.

Transfer the contents of the colander to a mixing bowl and squeeze the garlic cloves out of their skins (which can then be discarded). Mash everything together with a fork: if the skin of the courgettes is still a little touch, just use a knife to roughly chop them. Stir in the mint leaves, dill and lemon juice to serve.
