Spilled Milk

Today we encounter high pitched flavors as we taste the brioche of crackers. We name the world's greatest toy and crown a new PEFP as we endure chemical tangs, frissons of danger and failed musical analogies. After some homespun tales and an exciting Spilled Mail, we burst into song yet again even though we hate musicals because it is other people who burst into song.

As we spend wooden nickels on our favorite carousel rides we second guess our movie knowledge before letting slip a giant reveal about Mr. Etymology. Then we let listeners in on a live comedy workshopping session before finally succumbing to the meat sleepies. Episode 7 Irish Spring Matthew's Corned Beef Recipe Rub the brisket all over with lots of kosher salt and spices of your choice.

Put it in a sheet pan or casserole pan and stick it in the fridge.Flip it over daily for a week, rinse and pat it dry, and it’s ready to cook! You can also freeze it at this point.Then braise it for a few hours until tender, and slice

We are burning the midnight oil to bring you one more thing to worry about, goiters. We meet some French chemists and give ourselves a totally achievable goal for 2026 as we decide to let them eat caviar.

We're coming to you live from Matthew's ruined kitchen to discuss a breaded and fried meat sandwich created with great pounding force. (so. much. pounding.)

Today we're alone together as we take listeners along our solo travels to Paris, Tokyo, Rome, Lisbon and Bainbridge Island with Special Guest Producer Abby. While HOTPOTS walks alone we discuss loneliness, crying and experiments in small talk before realizing that there is a fine line between crazy and astute.

Today we tackle Matthew's fears, hoop houses and micro tubules as we taste these tiny format condiments.
