This week, Kevin is on-call for work, and so cannot drink. And that leads us strange places, places maybe no one should go. I'm sure it has nothing to do with the frozen burritos, the frozen gluten-free pizza, or the snack foods. So hang on to your hats, folks, as we delve into some depths that should not be plumbed sober, including the difference between Atlantic and Pacific beaches, what you should never do with an anemone, and puffed cheese snacks. All that and more, when We Eat It, So You Do...

As the title suggests, we have both a new variety of SPAM *AND* a frozen lutefisk this week. We also have beer, wine, and a Yip-Yip bottle cozy just to say "nope nope nope" when it is time to stop drinking the wine. Spoiler : we totally should have brought out the Yip-Yip sooner. There is also vegitarian pizza, cheese pretzels, spicy chocolate, and a whole lot more, when We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!

So we got this call from the mail office, telling us to pick up the boxes becasue they were running out of space. One of the things included was an 11-lb chocolate bar. It is a think of beauty, but we need to break it up so... We also got a box from Australia, a box from Sinagapore, wine, beer, and even frozen filo dough. All that and a Canadian, when We Eat it, So You Don't Have To.

Crazybirderfriend Tina is in town for several days, so we have roped her into once more eating with us. And you know what that means - a bottle of wine, soju, several beers, and things best left in the store in our oven. Popcorn! BBQ Sweet Corn in a freezer bag! Pizza with broccoli! CHOCOLATES! And we talk teenagers, birds, bad food, birds, birds, chocolate, birds, booze, did we mention birds? All that and more birds, when We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!

NOTE: This Episode contains factual errors about the Confederate Battle Flag. Specifically, Kevin stated it was a Tennessee flag when it was actually more closely related to the Army of Nothern Virginia. Ursula calls him out on this, but both are pretty inebriated at that point and don't bother to actually, y'know CHECK THE FRICKING INTERNET, so accuracy is never determined. We are very sorry for the confusion. The kale has come back, and it's on pizza! Why would it do this to us? What will it d...

This week we have to invoke, at least once, Soy Godwin's Law. It's a thing that happens sometimes, and we're never happy when that happens. We also have a selection of chips, suasages, and microavable foods to eat for you. We even have a frozen pizza to heat and eat, so it can't be all bad, right? Right?!? There is only one way to find out, when We Eat It, So You Don't Have To.

This week, we talk a little about the class in mead making Kevin took earlier in the day. We also discuss the Nebula Awards, the metal T-Rex now in the front yeard, and of course, foods. Lots and lots of foods. Including microwave mac & cheese, gluten-free pasta, wine, wine, and more wine, and chips or questionable origin. All this and more when We Eat it, So You Don't Have To!

So we saw Mad Max Fury Road this past week, and we will give our review and comments over the course of the episode. We also have a frozen pizza, kale chips, multiple snacks, and even Mormon Beer. OK, it's not REALLY Mormon Beer, but you get the idea. All that and lots anf lots of movie commentary, when We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!

Oh the things we have this week! We have news of boxes that have arrived, including two (yes two!) lbox openings. I know, it has been a while since we opened a mystery box on the air, and these are a real treat. We also have frozen pizza, canned mead, beer, and fancy mac & cheese. All that and more, when We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!

Our low-carb adventures continue, as does the adventure of having two kittens. The foods this week are a different kind of adventure, and not the kind we really want to go on. It may be the Spaghetti-O's that did it this week, or maybe the beet chips. These are the sorts of things that make us question our sanity. But we soldier on, because We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!

We have new members of the zoo - two kittens, named Cammy and Rose. We will introduce them in between eating a large number of questionable foods. And since we hit our local Asian food superstore (Grand Asia Market in Cary, NC) there is a lot to choose from. Extra-salty things? Check. Oddly flavored chips? Check. Instant foods? Oh you better believe it. All that, and more, when We Eat It, So You Don't Have To! (Note: I put the wrong episode number on the original posting of this one. It is now c...

One of things things Ursula IS allowed to have on her new low-carb lifestyle is red wine. And wine - particularly red - goes right to her head. Which means reading the screed on the back of that package of jerkey late in the show? It's...interesting. Aside from that, we have some new snacks, new frozen pizza, more strange asian things, and snacks and snacks and snacks. And maybe even breakfast. All that, and more, when We Eat it, So You Don't Have To!

We're back from Africa, and probably parasite free! And we brought back all kinds of things - mostly stories and pictures, but there are some canned goods from South Africa that we review this week. There is also a plethora of foods, a new beer, and not one, but TWO ciders! We're happy to be home, and almost back in this time zone. Maybe not as happy as you are, when We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!

Before we go to Botswana and eat all the things, we recorded an extra-long, extra-special episode, with our friend Crimson. Yes, one of the people who provides both good and bad foods, member of the Dorsai Irregulars, and all-around neat guy, Crimson joins us for two hours of eating, talking, ranting, and drinking. Stories, bad food, good beer, and questionable cider. Everything you love about KUEC, when We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!

A few weeks back we commented that there were whole new flavors of Peeps that we had not seen yet. And frankly, you all delivered, in quantity. So this week, we will try ALL THE PEEPS. Chocolate, Party Cake, Sour Watermellon, and more. Not only that, but frozen hush puppies, heat-stabilized lentils, and a lot more. Also, Kevin can drink again, so there is a celebratory beer to go with them. Once more, putting our pancreases on the line, because We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!...

We have things from fans in Australia! New kinds of TimTams! Honey! EMU JERKY! Snacks in new and suggestive shapes! Oh Australia, we love you! We also have two frozen pizzas, a new cider, and commentary about the use of safe words in video games. Just another week in our kitchen, when We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!

You can tell, based on some of the choices this week, that we have been housebound due to winter weather here on the east coast. Seriously, why else would we eat this stuff? Oh, right. Because We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!

Friends, listeners, countrypersons, lend me your ears. Nabisco has produced Red Velvet Oreo Cookies. I kid you not. And we ate them, and they are... ...thought I was going to tell you, didn't you? No, you need to listen and find out about that, the canned german potato salad, the frozen pizzas, and all the other stuff we ate. And as we ask ourselves, "why do we do this again?" We come up with the only answer possible : We Eat It, So You Don't Have To.

Week two of no drinks for Kevin continues, so Ursula takes the burden upon herself with a bottle of ginger beer. OK, not just ginger beer, but ginger beer with vodka! She's making Moscow Mules, and the results are what one would expect. There is also a duplicate food in the photo, so we replaced it with something else. What could lat be? Listen and find out when We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!

We're back from Foolscap, MAGFest, and our other travel and ailments, and once more we have a load of new foods to try. Not all is joy, though, since Kevin can't drink for the next 5-6 weeks. No Beer! No Scotch! Just water. And yet the show must go on. So armed with a 9.5% ABV cider for Ursula and a bottle of flavored water Kevin, we dive into first of the gifts given to us in our travels. We shall percervere, because We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!

Welcome to the first KUEC of 2015, and what a lineup we have for you. Leftover holiday treats? Check! Questionable heat-stabilized rice? Check! Odd chips? Check! New flavor of SPAM? Oh HELL Yes! I mean...Check! Looks like we're ready for 2015, and so we put our mouths, digestive systems, and a selection of questionable foods to the test, When We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!

Ursula has been playing a japanese Dating Simulation Game, but with a twist - all the potential beaus are pigeons. Yes, you heard right, pigeons. And she will tell you all about it in case you missed the live tweeting of the game. We also encounter not one, not two, but THREE kinds of nacho flavors this episode, multiple kinds of chocolate, and a noodle bowl of some sort. All this, and more, when We Eat It, So You Don't Have To.

Our friends Cassie and Chris are in from Seattle, and you know what that means! Guests! We will ply them with beer, cider and questionable foods, including but not limited to : breakfast pizza, apple pie jam, and Hello Kitty marshmallows! And they brought things for us - most importantly a "Don't Eat This" hot pepper chocolate bar! And we delve into the realm of TMI once more, with startling revelations and questionable foods, when We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!

What's this? Two varieties of frozen waffle? Well then, we must eat them both! And is that a variation on peppermint bark? Yes! We should have that over an hour after the waffles! Whatever shall we have in between... We also have a three pepper cider, frozen pizza, and tropical fruit hard candy with an interesting label. All that and more, when We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!

Having survived last week, we jump right back on the bandwagon this week with a whole new selection of things to eat and drink. Among the highlights are cheese straws, ice wine, and a suspicious eggnog praline from Poland. Two out of those three are NOT regretable, but that's OK - there were plenty of other regretable things this week to make up for it. All that, plus a discussion of lemon balm, and a poor impression of Bob Dylan when We Eat it, So You Don't Have To!

We've started recording on Saturdays so that we have an extra day to recover from the show. The reason for this is because sometimes something we eat REALLY messes with our innards. Not always, but it does happen. This is one of those weeks. But what did it? Was it the microwave Stromboli? Was it the frozen pizza? Was it, perhaps, the microwavable mashed potatoes? Or even the persimmon beer? We may never know. What we do know is We Eat It, So You Don't Have To.

We're back from WindyCon, where Ursula was Toastmaster, and so you'll get a bit of a con report along with the foods. There is also an update on the health of Emily the Cat, and on the arrival of Bob the Hermit Thrush. Oh, and we eat some stuff. Some good, some bad, and some...well, you know the drill by now... All this, and more, when We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!

Halloween might be over, but there are still some scary things in the grocery store. Like Tofurky Sausage pizza, or quinoa mac & cheese. I wish I was making the last one up, I really, really do. We also sample a new-to-us cider, a 12% ABV beer, tequilla candies, and a whole lot more, when We Eat It, So You Don't Have to.

We have a new kind of chip, and despite the name, it required additional investigation. We also have a ton of snack foods from a well known supplier of clearance items, a few new-to-us items from the local co-op, and at least two ringers - thinks we're pretty sure are awesome. There may even be discussion of a current online kerfluffle, and much swearing. All this, and more, when We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!

One of the local growers here likes hot peppers. And this week, they had in the first of their Carolina Reaper harvest, and shared one with Kevin. He eats it live on air, and you get to hear all about it. Aside from that, there is also another noodles with cheese, noodles with cajun sauce, noodles with pork and tea...it is, in fact, a noodle and sugar heavy show. There is also beer, cider, and Astronaut food. All that, and more, when We Eat it, So You Don't Have To. (Also, a correction - yes, th...
