This week, thanks to the miracle of the winter citrus harvest, we're tackling questions that have plagued mankind for centuries: why old people get wrinkles, how to operate a kitchen torch, and why, WHY, does grapefruit always squirt in your eye? Also included: the most ridiculous way to eat a grapefruit, a.k.a. The Mamster Method. www.spilledmilkpodcast.com
Episode 56: Hard Candy
If it comes in a wrapper and destroys fillings with extreme prejudice, we're putting it in our mouths this week. We've raided the supermarket bulk candy section for butterscotch disks, Milk Maid caramels, and other childhood favorites. Have they aged any better than we have? And if we love Werther's Originals, how old does that make us? Rated PG: One bad word, lots of kidnapping jokes. www.spilledmilkpodcast.com
