Spilled Milk

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.

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."

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.

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". Wanna be our bran bud?!

Get behind us soap! Today we are discussing Big Black Skillets but, of course, are not experts so don't @ us. After we discover the worst thing that could possibly happen, we get into some metallurgy before chatting with Special Guest Michele Norris about these kitchen tools and her recent projects. Rust rings, resurrections and hot oil massage all get their air time as we dismantle alien stereotypes and work through rough patches.

What the hell is butterscotch? What about molasses? And caramel!? Why can't Matthew ever remember? Today we introduce a new, extremely rare segment and go down some deep rabbit holes while we discuss that famous emollient: butterscotch. We look for ha'pennies and learn that some mysteries will remain mysterious.

Travel back to a time when quiches were all the rage, when tomes were written about sauces and the phrase "bucket list" made no sense. Today we're using all the swag, sway and pull at our disposal to bring that distant gloop relative, quiche, back into fashion. To do so, we'll need to solve Molly and The Mysterious Disappearance of Both Pie Plates and confront some bizarre and unpleasant ingredients. WRONG!

Today we're smooth, chunky, painful and transformative as we blame other countries for this salad and debate horror movie villains. Scared of potato salad, Matthew embarks on a quest in order to avoid it and encounters Secret Miracle Whip, SpongeBob and listicles.

Today we've got the Midas touch as we recollect and recount past and present experiences with feeding our kids. We share dos and don'ts, philosophies of eating and why its important to salt babies. We play it cool through prescription muffins, the trendy and the expensive before exploring the division of responsibility and assigning Matthew some homework.
