December 27, 2012 Episode 81: Cornbread
A band of renegade and not-too-smart historians argues that the Civil War was fought over cornbread. Should it be sweet, cakey, and yellow? Or savory, white, and crisp-crusted? Is it true that the best Southern cornbread is made with yankee cornmeal? Could this secret heal a divided nation? Our two intrepid historians dig in. NOTE: We make fun of a guy's funny name on the show; it turns out that guy doesn't actually have "III" in his name, just so you know. Recipes: East Coast Grill Cornbread; John Thorne's Southern-Style Skillet Cornbread. www.spilledmilkdpodcast.com

December 13, 2012 Episode 80: Brownies
A note to fans of cakey brownies, if you even exist: you can skip this episode. Here at Spilled Milk, we fall on the fudgy side of the Great Brownie Divide, and it’s nice and soft and gooey over here. Join us as we discuss the finer points (and edge pieces, and corner pieces, and middle pieces) of the brownie, with help from Bonnie Raitt, Katharine Hepburn, and a guy named Steve. www.spilledmilkpodcast.com

November 15, 2012 Episode 78: Gum
Five out of five dentists recommend listening to this episode, because there is as of yet no known mechanism for sound waves to cause tooth decay. Unless you lie around listening to the show for days on end without brushing your teeth, in which case we and our dentists recommend sugarless gum. Which, coincidentally, is one of two subjects we cover this week. The other is sugary gum. EXPLICIT. www.spilledmilkpodcast.com

October 18, 2012 Episode 76: Chinese Takeout
Yes, we love the real Chinese food you can get in major Western cities today. But we've never lost our taste for the gloopy takeout we ate as kids. That's why we're feasting this week on beef with snow peas, sweet and sour chicken, and other cornstarchy favorites. Features a guest appearance by an 70s teen idol. Sort of. www.spilledmilkpodcast.com

Gather round, friends. We have a special treat for you: plain yogurt. Yeah, we said it.

September 06, 2012 Episode 73: Mushrooms
This week, we're lacing up our boots, buying a truffle pig, and going foraging in the Safeway produce section. From criminis to shiitakes, Matthew and Molly discuss the finer points of our most common fungi and, once and probably not for all, answer the age-old question: what's the best way to clean a dirty mushroom? www.spilledmilkpodcast.com
SLICED MUSHROOMS WITH FRESH MOZZARELLA AND THYME
Adapted from Jamie's Italy, by Jamie Oliver
This dish is extremely adaptable, so what follows is more of a method than a true recipe. To give you an idea of proportions: for two people, you might want two small handfuls of crimini mushrooms, ¾ to 1 standard-size ball of fresh mozzarella, and the leaves from one sprig of thyme. That, plus some bread and a salad, is a nice, light lunch.
Ingredients:
Fresh mushrooms, such as crimini, porcini, shiitake, or portobello
Fresh mozzarella
Olive oil
Fresh thyme, leaves removed and stem discarded
Sea salt
Preheat the broiler.
Clean the mushrooms, and then slice them thinly, no thicker than ¼ inch. Arrange them in a single layer on a large ovenproof platter. Tear the mozzarella into coarse bits – each about the size of a nickel – and scatter them over the mushrooms. Drizzle with olive oil. Scatter the thyme leaves over the top, along with a good pinch or two of salt.
Slide the platter under the broiler, and cook, checking frequently, for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbling, and golden in spots. Serve with plenty of bread.
KUNG PAO MUSHROOMS
3 tablespoons peanut oil
1 pound cremini mushrooms, diced
1 large clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon minced ginger
6 dried red chiles (such as Arbol, Japones, or Tien Tsin)
1/2 teaspoon crushed sichuan peppercorns
Sauce:
2 tablespoons black vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons oyster sauce
1 tablespoon rice wine
1/2 cup roasted peanuts
2 scallions, green parts only, sliced

Stir together sauce ingredients in a bowl. Heat peanut oil in wok or skillet. Cook mushrooms until browned, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger, chiles, and Sichuan peppercorns and cook 30 seconds or until fragrant. Add sauce and peanuts and cook until sauce is reduced to your liking. Garnish with scallions and serve with plenty of steamed rice.
Yield: 2 to 3 servings.

August 23, 2012 Episode 72: Day of Perfect Meals
If you could have one day of unlimited travel, cash, and stomach capacity, plus the power to raise dead breakfast cooks, what would you eat? (Hmm, that makes it sound like we advocate eating zombies.) Molly and Matthew select their ultimate breakfast, lunch, snack, dinner, and dessert, and it quickly turns spooky. (Plus, you'll never guess who goes to France! Okay, you will.) www.spilledmilkpodcast.com
