This week we have a lot of starchy snacks, yet another mac & cheese, and a selection from the category of freeze-dried astronaut foods. We also get a glimpse into Kevin's psyche, settle a bet, and discover the many uses of walnut oil. All that and more, when We Eat it, So You Don't Have To!
Ursula has returned from Springfield, IL, and has stories to tell. While she is doing that, Quinoia will be cooked with curry, Seven-Demon Vodka will be poured, and DIY Pork Rinds will be consumed. And that's just the tip of the cheese balls, when We Eat It, So You Don't Have To.
We're back, and this week, Ursula tries a Southern delacacy : moonshine! She drinks it out of a Mason jelly jar, as is required by Southern tradition. We also have the first of the seasonal pumpkin spice foods, which appear in September along with the Christmas decorations. We do not speak of the Christmas decorations. All that, and more (including mac & cheese), when We Eat It, So You Don't Have To.
This show will leave our heroes feeling bloated and confused, as not only are there way too many chips, there is also more mac & cheese, pastry puffs, and even stout from Scotland. The hangover on the day after recording it totality worth it, because We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!
We are back from Europe! We've been to Germany, we've been to England, and we've had adventures. Some of which we'll tell you about. And some we won't. Yet. We also have a whole new run of foods to tryh, including something made from coconut and parsnips. I am not making this up. I am also not making up the fact that it is dill pickle flavored. Forftunately, we have a pile of other things to eat as well, and you are invited to hear all about it, when We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!...
So hey, we told you this isn't for kids, right? I mean, we say that at the start of every episode now, and this week, we keep to that promise. Yes, Grown-ups talking about Grown-up things. Like 401Ks. Just because, you know, that's what we all talk about once we pass 35, right? In other news, there are three kinds of chips this week, yet another mac & cheese, and not one, not two, but five different kinds of alcohol. Why? Because We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!
It is the time of year when Lay's Potato Chips release their "test" flavors for the year, and we've got two of the four choices on hand this week. You may have seen at least one of them on our twitter feeds, because we love to share the horrors we find in the stores there as well. We also dig into some instant potatos, more mac and cheese, some expensive shochu, and what we hope is the last of the scary Chips Ahoy cookies. We should be so lucky, here when We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!...
Sometimes when a question is asked, you need to drunk dial someone to get the answer. In this case, that someone was Ursula's Mom. What prompted the call? A small jar of honey from a Basilica in Italy. Noone in our families are safe, when We Eat It, So You Don'T Have To!
You've heard the storeis, and this week, you can meet the legend. Yes, our crazy birder friend Tina is in town, and in this two hour episode, she has volunteered to eat cheap with us. Little does she know what she's in for... We have beer, bad chocolate, wine, cider, popcorn, and some surprises, when We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!
We are in between trips, and so decided it was time to catch up on the backlog of macaroni and cheese that has built up. Three kinds of boxed mac & cheese and four different frozen kinds, which takes care of the bulk of things, but not all of it. And by the end...well, you'll have to listen to find out. Of course, there are beagles and stories and more, when We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!
There are so many ways to interpret the title of this one. They may all be valid. When the alcohol hits, we REALLY need that disclaimer. In other news, Kevin cooks, from scratch, LIVE on this show. No, really, he does. There are also frozen things, several candies, things that should not be eaten, and at least two kinds of Cheez-Its. Why? Because We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!
As I sit here, nursing my hangover from this episode, I can only wonder what Ursula's will be like come morning. You see, we didn't reaize that the cider she had chosen was 10% ABV, which is about twice what she normally drinks. So there is that. There is also steak and kidney pie, a pasta sides knock-off, French cookies, Japanese candies, expired things, and more! All here, when We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!
Spring is here, and that means mojitos for Ursula. As there are new herbs in the garden (not that kind), Ursula is mixing two different mojitos to see which tastes better. There are also a variety of chips, a knock-off mac & cheese, chocolates, and at least two beers. All that and the coconuts' agenda, when We Eat It, So You Don't Have To.
We're back from the latest round of travels, and there is more food than we can possibly eat in an hour - unless it is terrible, in which case we'll need to add some filler. Spoiler alert : there is filler. Speaking of filler, there is a new Spam Meal in this episode, yet another Piggly Wiggly Pizza, chia snacks, and even Warrior Bars. All that and more, when We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!
Happy [Insert Spring Holiday Here] Everyone! This week, we discover not only one of the most interesting crackers to date, but we have found a spiritual brother to Dr. Bronner. Along the way we will also discover Goldfish things, a new Rogue Voodoo Donut Ale flavor, and pre-mixed mimosa. All that plus the usual cast of characters and animals, when We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!
We had a bit of a backlog of breakfast foods, so we risked our digestive tracts once more with such wondrous things as reconstituted eggs, frozen flatbreads, and instant quinoa cereals. Yes, that last thing exists. All that plus a breakfast beer, mimosas, and even more When We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!
Lizardbeth is back! And she brought her boyfriend with her this time! So you get and extra special episode of KUEC, 2+ hours, lots of food, and kale, glorious kale. Disclaimer #1 : the views of the guests are not the views of Kevin and Ursula. Disclaimer #2 : There is nothing glorious about kale. So prepare for bad food, strange rants, and drunk podcasters, when We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!
There is canned noodles and cheese here, so be warned. And croutons. Oh, the bag doesn't say croutons, but they are. Kevin went to the Piggly Wiggly in search of food, unsuprvised, and this is what happens, you see, when he gets to make these decisions on his own. We won't let it happen again. Probably. So there is your warning for this week, when We Eat It, So You Don't Have To.
We got a box! A box of things! Things from Australia! Including Scorpion Tail Sauce! And it's REALLY REALLY HOT! But that's not all! There is more from Archer Farms, a whole selection of chocolate things, and something called "aussie sauce" which did not, as far as we can tell, come from Australia. All that, and more, when We Eat it, So You Don't Have To!
Oh, there are some glorious things this week. We have root beer float cookies, we have a tv-dinner, and we even have sake. And to top it all off, Ursula has hiccups. It's a thing, let me tell you. To top it all off, beer, pot-noodle, chocolates, and a whole lot more. This is something not to be missed, when We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!
As you can tell from the title, we have something with hazel...er, filberts in it this week. Ursula is very passionate on the subject of the re-branding of the filbert, and so there is, you guessed it, A Rant. We also have shortbread, beer, chocolates, chili-cheese bites, and pretsel spoons. Yes, really, pretsel spoons. All that and more, when We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!
UPDATE: Ok the tapping is still in this episode, but I figured out what it is, and will have it fixed by next week. This week, Ursula discovered her grandmother had a husband she wasn't aware of. Frankly, this is no longer unusual, as Ursula's grandmother had an interesting life, and these things happen. We also eat things, including a new (to us) quinoa chip, something called a sweet onion chip, and a noodle bowl we can't actually read. There is also beer and cider, a beagle and cats, and all t...
We've been home the last few days due to the snow. But that doesn't stop us from eating things we shouldn't eat. And that includes heat-stabilized meat product, cheap burritos, and even extruded veggie sticks. And that is just the begining. But we're excited about it, because after four days of being stuck at home, you would be too. There is also cider, beer, and even chocolate, when We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!
There are many revelations in this episode. From the shocking revelation about Kevin, the one about Ursula, and the one about the pistachios. Yes, pistachios. There are also queso bites, more kale, and most importantly of all, more TimTams! All this and more, when We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!
Did you know there is such a thing as sweet & salty pretzels? We do now, and tell you all about our first foray into this new foodstuff. We also have a new Evol bowl, treats from Australia, and a scary mac & cheese bowl. All this, and more, when We Eat It, So You Don't have To! Also, this one has a bit of a heavy theme, as Ursula spends some time talking about the plight of the Monarch Butterfly Migration. You have been warned.
We're back! And we have PRESENTS! First up is some "Chia Squeeze" gifted to Kevin while he was in Washington State. There is also a box of things from a fan, several odds and ends we've found, and at least one vanity beer. It's good to be home, even if there is buffalo flavor mac & cheese. Only here, where We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!
So the first few weeks of 2014 have been rather busy, between travel, and server upgrades, and more travel. So here is a bit of an interlude, to get you by, until next week. It includes a bunch of stuff we had since the last show for dinner, a new cider, and some snacks. Remember folks - even when we're not recording, We Eat It, So You Don't Have To.
As we waited in line at the local Co-Op, we noticed something new - Joy Tonic! How could we resist? So in addition to the usual motley assortment of food, we have this little herbal item as well. So there's that. There is also more from Knorr, fine chocolates, Cosmo mixer, beer, and quinoa. Yes, quinoa. All that and more, when We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!
Ursula found some Crick-ettes at Hot Topic a while ago, and this week we finally open up one of the boxes (yes, there was more than one flavor) to give them a go. We also break into some new (to us) chocolate bars, several snack chips, peppermint popcorn, and even microwave papadums. Microwave Papadums, people! All this, Lithuanian Liquor, and more - when We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!
Not just one, but two - count 'em! TWO! - kinds of macaroni in this episode. I'm not sure how much shame there is for the makers of these things, or for the chumps who eat them. Like us. There is also premium chocolate, questionable chicken by-products, and yet another mystery food from Asia. All this and more, when We Eat it, So You Don't Have To!
