Why do some fruits get better when you put them in a can and others turn into clammy eyeballs? We have no idea, but we keep opening cans of peaches, pears, fruit cocktail, and more, until we’re up to our necks in heavy syrup. www.spilledmilkpodcast.com
Any episode that includes the question “do you prefer head-on or headless?” has got to be pretty good, right? We dive into the undersea world of shrimp and surface with a briny hangover and a couple of pretty awesome recipes. Recipes: Rick Bayless’s Shrimp with Mojo de Ajo, Kasma Loha-unchit’s Hot and Sour Shrimp Salad. www.spilledmilkpodcast.com

Gather round the campfire, children, because we have ghost stories from darkest Florida that’ll scare you boneless! Meanwhile, Molly’s marshmallow catches fire seventeen times. That’s not a euphemism. Then we make s’mores. (Also not a euphemism.) And fluffernutters. (Possibly a euphemism.) www.spilledmilkpodcast.com
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. Recipes: East Coast Grill Cornbread; John Thorne’s Southern-Style Skillet Cornbread. www.spilledmilkdpodcast.com
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
We’re strolling down memory lane again, and this time, we’re checking out cans. From SpaghettiOs to tiny burgers in soup, we’re revisiting the canned foods of our youth, and hey, would you look at that: we didn’t even maim ourselves on the can opener, Mom. www.spilledmilkpodcast.com
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
Oh, and here’s a link to that picture of chewed gum.
Do you still have nightmares about stinky little green heads on your childhood dinner plate? We’re here for a grownup look at Brussels sprouts, with a hearty dose of heavy cream and hot metal. (Just kidding; we’ve never done anything grownup on this show and are not about to start.) Recipes: Cream-braised Brussels Sprouts; Shredded Brussels Sprouts with Kimchi. www.spilledmilkpodcast.com
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. This week we climb into a metaphorical vat of probiotic goodness and discuss texture, mix-ins, and made-up yogurt science. Includes a rare Molly-Matthew disagreement on the subject of Greek yogurt. www.spilledmilkpodcast.com
