Episode 686: Marmalade
2/20/2025
Just when you thought we left the jam stands behind. We're going Paddington on this marmalade before going granular on these gloop promoters. Molly is very un-fun and Matthew chokes before we meet Dr. Mustard Crockman and Jam Trashman as we wonder when breakfast began and what is a chef. And yes, Producer Abby did hate that opening.

2/13/2025
We're standing tall on the wings of our dreams while Matthew serenades us as we dance with Greek Salad. On our Quest for Seasonal Bounty we encounter Ordinary Zorba the Virgin, escapist fingers, gummy pants and some seriously heretical beliefs about Zeus. Are we historians?

Episode 684: Carbonara
2/6/2025
What came first, the baby or the licorice? We're really wanging it today as we fool around with food and ask 'how weird is your mouth'? Through twisted teeth, apocryphal origin stories, vittles and vice we become surprised, interested and loose as we buck tradition and add extra bacon.

Episode 683: Edible Flowers
1/30/2025
Unfortunately there are no butts in this episode just chive blossoms, lavender jelly, nasturtium stems and candied violets. We're chomping on petals and avoiding bezoars before discussing jam bands, band stands and jam stands. After providing a few warnings, we share our favorite fictional food and wonder if we are heroes. duh.

Matthew is very afraid because we're talking cold, creamy and savory today. And also because there's a horny ghost about. Mollthew discuss this mildly interesting topic, sneak in a Singles quote and become desperate for validation from teenagers. Lesson Learned: If give a man a dude ranch he's going to want a steakhouse.

1/9/2025
Happy 15th birthday to us! It's our Crystal Anniversary so join us along Memory Lane as we reminisce about scrapped episodes, missteps, regrets and harrowing encounters before we, yet again, proposition Dennis Quaid. We share memories of corporate retreats and defunct segments before interviewing Mrs Cubbinson and Cookie Monster and sharing advice to our past selves. After a group pinkie swear we play Real or Fake Episode before Molly refuses to get sappy and we reveal the location of our next corporate retreat.

Episode 679: Punch 2
1/2/2025
We are pleased as punch to wish you a Happy New Year and ourselves a Happy 15th Birthday! We know the sequel is never as good as the original but this one includes alcohol and jungle birds so... five stars? Benjamin Franklin keeps showing up as we wonder if a martini is a punch and discuss the Grandmother of all cocktails, pervasive funks and red goo. We're having a grand ol' time!

Episode 678: Graham Crackers
12/26/2024
We know we always say this but seriously, how have we never done this before!? The anticipation is over because today there are no rules except the rules as we break off a piece of that graham cracker and loose wiles beget looser morals. We want to assure our listeners that ALL of our magnetic appliances are thoroughly tested against the unchaste passions of youth and that we've done a 180 on some of our policies.

12/19/2024
Today we revisit memories of school dances past, their soundtracks and dance partners as we wonder what 'spiking' the punch means and tackle pronunciation quandaries. Ice rings, ladles and wrestling lead us to noisy cooking and quiet meals before Matthew turns into a summer boy.

12/12/2024
Today we're talking all things, but not all things Breadsticks. We tackle these non-nostril shaped bread lumps that are burnished with time and butter as we use this opportunity as a soft launch for 'A Big Time for Cuisine' and 'Not Bad with Matthew Amster-Burton'. Dreams get dashed, thumbs get big and futures are thrown into question as the innuendos fly.

Time passes but our love for Staples and R rated tomatoes will never die. We traverse reverse Memory Lane for some reason as we discuss the explosion of wetness that is the little teeny tiny tomato before Molly recounts a strange encounter and Matthew volunteers for The Secret Skirt Steak Scenario.

Today we're just a couple of harmless eccentrics in our dotage as we provide listeners with another classic chewing episode with strong dirt components. Its true that Molly has come a long way, but she still gets weepy as she tries to shirk her professional duty while Matthew decides to get rich or die trying. Toxic and poisonous flavors open up to us before we share some accidental origin stories and our failed attempts at palette expansion.

Today we are foisting more ancient history on you as we return to the Fertile Crescent with fond memories and family ways. Molly explains the rise and fall of carob and its dubious health claims while Mr. Etymology's soul goes on a journey. We hope to avoid a specific smell and deal with our "thwarted desire for what is forbidden" as we learn that sometimes almonds are pecans.
