Episode 324: Breakfast for Dinner Mar 15, 2018

Show notes

Today we wade through traumatic children's literature and a research rabbit hole to bring you Brinner. While debating just throwing an egg on it and the history of PDA, we arrive at the profound conclusion that lunch is dinner is breakfast is lunch. Perhaps love is like consuming waffles late in the day.

Episode 321: Handheld Meat Pies Feb 22, 2018

Show notes

Today we (very carefully) taste molten meat inside flaky crusts and diagnose Meat Hand Syndrome while Molly gives us another signature Hot Take. Trigger warning for people who are sensitive to terrible words. Like Producer Abby, who has done nothing but love and support the podcast and does not deserve this sort of treatment.

CORNISH PASTIES

Makes 5 large pasties

FOR THE CRUST
25 ounces flour
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2.5 ounces cold lard, cut into chunks
1 stick (4 ounces) cold unsalted butter, cut into chunks
12.75 ounces cold water

FOR THE FILLING
2 pounds chuck steak, cut into 1/2-inch cubes, plus some minced beef fat (trimmings are fine)
2 pounds russet potatoes
1 medium onion, diced
flour
salt and pepper
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley

FOR THE EGG WASH
2 eggs
2 tablespoons milk

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, lard, and butter, mixing with your hands until the fat is in pea-size chunks. Slowly drizzle in cold water, stirring, taking care not to make the dough too wet--check by pressing it into a ball, if it doesn't fall apart into dry chunks, it's ready. Add more water a teaspoon at a time if if needed.
Divide the dough into five balls (about 9 oz each). (You can refrigerate the dough up to 24 hours at this point.) Roll the first piece out to a 9-inch circle. Pile the center of the dough with generous layers of potatoes, meat, onion, parsley, suet, and 1 tsp flour. Sprinkle each layer generously with salt and pepper. (I like to make a salt-pepper mixture in a bowl, like they do at Subway.) Using your fingers, moisten the edge of the dough with water and lift the two sides of the pastry to seal on top. Crimp edge with your fingers to hold it together. Place on a sturdy, parchment-lined cookie sheet. Repeat with remaining balls of dough.
Beat the egg and milk together in a small bowl. Brush each pasty with the egg mixture and cut two slits in the top with a sharp knife. Bake 30 minutes, then reduce oven to 350 degrees and continue baking 30 more minutes. Cool on a rack 10 minutes before serving.

Episode 320: Omelettes Feb 15, 2018

Show notes

This episode was 7 years in the making. Today we dive deep into this Dad food staple finding that a little cheese goes a long way. After some lipstick woes, herbal liaisons and painful high school memories we eventually get super French. Because of course we do.

Episode 319: Fruit Curd Feb 08, 2018

Show notes

In between knife-fulls of Sprite curd, we debate jam vs. curd vs. marmalade while going on some seriously weird tangents. We also crown a superior citrus and make some predictions for next year's feudal lord fashion. So, just another Thursday.

Episode 318: Corn Tortillas Feb 01, 2018

Show notes

Welcome to another episode of Science, Death and Sex Moves. Today we learn all sorts of new words, some insights into the joys of parenting, and what Molly wants for her birthday. Remember, the first rule about nixtamalized corn is ... you get it.

Episode 317: Arnold Palmer Jan 25, 2018

Show notes

Babe, join us here at the country club for a refreshing glass of Arnold Palmer after a strenuous game of golf. Or tennis. Or just anytime not in winter. Today we speculate about Arnold Palmer's dark past and get way too excited about nerdy book topics. We also invent a new drink destined for wild popularity.

Episode 316: Pasta Widths Jan 18, 2018

Show notes

We pretty much want to bathe in pasta, whether its extruded, cranked or dyed. Today we learn about Matthew's angelic past, Molly's preferred ribbon texture and where to find the perfect pasta nest. Excessive accent warning.
