Kevin and Ursula Eat Cheap

The or friend Natalie, spreadsheet wizard and Canadian Amazon, is in town for her yearly visit, so it's time for a celebration! Or at least alcohol, as we liberally apply it to handle beef stew in a can, shrimp and grits from the microwave, and candies from Russia. Also, Ursula argues on the internet, Lis explains why punching isn't always a bad thing, and Kevin hits one of his limits.

All that and more when We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!

We were at the liquor store to pick up some rum, and then we saw some Bourbons that we just couldn't resist. Were they bargains, or just cheap? We'll find out! We'll also check in with a new cup noodle flavor, some special treats from the UK, a churro cereal, and UNICORN PUDDING!

Seriously, that stuff is so pink it makes your eyes hurt.

All that and a bunch more, when We Eat It So You Don't Have To!

We're back! And boy do we have a lot of stuff to go through! Most of it is chips, and chips often require some assistance to bring out their full flavor. Speaking of assistants, Lis is also back to hang out and help with the food and cider. OK, and the beer, because it IS coffee flavored beer.

All that, plus some discussion of what happened in Tibet and why we may never eat yak again, when We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!

By the time you get this, Ursula and Kevin will be in China, and Lis will be watching the animals. But before we left, we had to try the one absolutely necessary food to take with us : coffee. We compare and contrast several different kinds of instant coffee before deciding which one goes in Kevin's bag so he doesn't go into a lacking-coffee-induced rage on the road.

If we don't make it back because of a yak-related mishap, remember that We Ate It, So You Didn't Have To.

This week we have a special guest - our friend Neolithic Shepherd has come down and OF COURSE we have treated her to a "special" meal. We have the new Lay's flavors for 2019, two (TWO!) cans of haggis - both vegetarian and offal - and bunches of other things just for her. Alas, we did have a recording problem and lost 20 minutes of eating, but honestly, you still get haggis, so it's not that big a deal.

We also have beer, cider, and drunk Kevin, when We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!

Last weekend, Kevin was the host and chairperson for Dorsai Thing 2019 in Raleigh NC. This means that all the perishables that were unclaimed came back to our house, including a bunch of alcohol. This included a margarita mixer in a can and several pints of alcoholic ice cream. We know what you are thinking, because we thought it too : "Alcoholic Ice Cream? What Madness is this?!?" We felt it was important that we share this experience with all of you, our wonderful listeners.

Oh, and there's a bunch of other stuff too, when We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!

I gotta say, there was a lot of good stuff to start with this time, and it probably lulled us into a false sense of optimism. Not to worry, though, as some things came along that, as we say, "makes for great radio." This time we have some craft ciders, craft beers, cranberry wine, new frozen products, limited edition Oreos, Ursula's Rant on the band Rush, Liz's unpopular hot-take on music, and then a LONG discussion of influential bands.

All that and a whole lot more, when We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!

Oh the things we do for you, internet. See, we stopped by a Total Wine on Friday and they had some really cool things in the beer & cider aisles. Like a Chocolate Stout and Tangerine Tumeric Cider. And one made with hominy grits. So we figured we should call up Lis and see if she wanted a "free" meal and free laundry, which means she also got to experience all the fun things we had to eat and drink this week. Pork BBQ Pizza, Kettle Chips, Bacon Chips, and frozen crab poppers, oh my!

And we don't stop there, because We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!

Do you see that picture? The things we eat for your entertainment? Oh yes, there are Carrot Cake Oreos. There are Edamame flour crisps. There are frozen biscuits with gravy inside. And there is a whole lot more. There is a discussion of Ursula's ability to write certain kinds of scenes. There is mead, beer, and something we just have to add water to.

And so much more, when We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!

Welcome to the first episode of KUEC in 2019! Lis is back, and Kevin had a birthday, and we have terrible food! This includes gluten free "bagels," vegan gluten free sandies, bloody orange cider, and chocolates that weren't terrible! We even have Bantam Pancakes and Drunken Noodles!
