Episode 15: Breakfast Cereal Jul 01, 2010

Show notes

This week, we revisit the breakfast cereals of our youth and ask, once and for all, if they're really as good as we thought they were. What happened to Cracklin' Oat Bran? Why is Lucky the Leprechaun making that face? What cereal was stolen by a rabbit, was the Hamburglar involved, and why can't we [...]

Episode 14: Mystery Lunch Jun 17, 2010

Show notes

If we told you what it was about, it wouldn't be mystery lunch, WOULD IT? It's definitely more than just Matthew's plot to get Molly to clean out his fridge. Dear God, what is that--could it be? An entire...? Recipe: Yaki Udon. www.spilledmilkpodcast.com

Episode 11: Peas May 06, 2010

Show notes

If you've been taught to cook your peas just until they're bright green and fresh-tasting, you're about to get schooled. We know a guy with a pea-encrusted axe to grind. Guest: Francis Lam of The Splendid Table.

MUSHY PEAS

Adapted from Jamie Oliver

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
1 pound frozen peas (preferably not petite peas)
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons butter
salt and pepper

In a saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until translucent but not browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the mint and peas and cook until the peas begin to lose their frosty tinge. Add the water, cover, and simmer until the peas are army green, 8 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a food processor, add the butter and salt and pepper to taste, and process to just shy of smooth. Serve hot.

Yield: 4 servings

Special Guest: Francis Lam.

Episode 10: Ham Apr 22, 2010

Show notes

Recipe: Greens with ham and cheesy grits. www.spilledmilkpodcast.com Brought to you by Sur La Table.

Episode 9: Crispy Potatoes Apr 09, 2010

Show notes

Do you smell something burning? Sorry, that was us. Not even the smoke alarm can deter us from our mission to make crispy potatoes two ways. Plus, Matthew's freezer contains an embarrassing secret. Again. Recipes: Smashed Roasted Potatoes; Cold-Oil French Fries. www.spilledmilkpodcast.com
