*Episode link*

## Summary

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!

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!
Episode 139/Summary

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.

No, really, a flamethrower. It's legal and everything.

In between, we will open a box of goodies from a listener, try some foods, and drink some really good beer and cider. All this, and more, because we missed you, and We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!

As many of you know, we get a lot of things in the mail. I'm not complaining, because you love us so much you want to share (or you hate us so much you are trying to kill us - sometimes it could go either way...). So we try to eat everything that comes in before the expiration date.

This week, we dug into the cabinet full of things, and out came all sorts of stuff - including the cake referenced in the title of this episode. We also discover which cat will eat dried broad beans, the proper use for Turkey Jerky, and a pumpkin ale that is just WOW.

All that, and more, because We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!

We're back! Worldcon was fun, and we will tell you all about the things we ate. Well, not really, because there were a lot of them. You will hear about the incident with the river, though. Later on, we get a visit from Sergei, the new cat, and he causes at least one technical issue.

We also eat food, and the results are as you would expect. Belgian chocolate paired with apple vinegar drink, ginger ale and truffle mac & cheese. Where else would you see that? Nowhere but here, since We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!
Episode 12/Summary

This week we dive into the depths of a Big Lots and find some real cheap eats. And by cheap, we have stuff for under $2 this week. On the extremely cheap side, we have **Hangburger Helper Microwave Singles Cheeseburger Macaroni**, followed by **Taco Bell Santa Fe Style Beef Bowlz**, and finally a **NutraSystems Hearty Beef Stew**. A grand total of $6 was spent on that part of the review. We also sample **Annie Chun's Sesame Seaweed Snacks**, **Oregon Chai** concentrate, and re-visit two past favorites. Along the way, we talk head cheese, read some listener emails, and get a rant on potatoes.

Episode 150 - Death of a Chia Chip

## Summary

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.

This time, we had terrible luck with beer. This means that Kevin had three alcoholic beverages in the first fifteen minutes of the show, before giving up and grabbing something he knows, for a fact, doesn't suck.

This also means before the first bits of food are eaten, he's pretty sloshed.

Otherwise, the offereings run the usual gamut from bad to good to just plain baffling. In other words, yet another week, where We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!
Episode 146 - Fire Ants and Nachos

*Episode link*

## Summary

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.

Episode 129/Summary

Not gonna lie, we lose it for about five minutes in this episode. Why? It has a lot to do with the amount of alcohol consumed before we actually eat things. Oh, and Bob Evans. But you'll have to listen to get the whole story.

Otherwise, it is more of the same. We heat up things, we eat them. We may have a heated discussion over the difference between a caserole pan and a loaf pan.

John: You know what's the worst about this?

Kevin: Make it taste the brown rice?

John: I don't know...

Ursula: It's to make you appreciate how healthy it is.

John: Yes

Lizardbeth: This rice, I don't know. I'm assuming you followed the directions completely.

Not for the weak of heart or weak of stomach, once again we eat it so you don't have to, and get somewhat tipsy along the way.
Episode 123/Summary

Here we go again, with empty stomachs and a sense of dread, into the kitchen for your entertainment. At least, we hope you are entertained, or find these shows informative. And by "informative" we mean "learn from our mistakes" and not as a reference for dissertations or similar endeavors.

Oh, and in terms of mistakes, I think the lentil chips may have been a mistake. Or mixing them with the frozen ravioli. Or maybe even the mac & cheese.

In the end, though, if Kevin or Ursula is complaining on twitter about their innards tonight, it's all self-inflicted. And because We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!
Episode 117/Summary

The title this week refers to both a particularly sought-after grape fungus, and the name of Dogfish Head's brew, which Kevin samples this week here in our kitchen. There is also a cheap whiskey named "Chicken Cock," more seaweed, flatbread, olives, mixed drinks, and a beagle.

Spoiler Alert : We do not eat the beagle.

All this and more, when we sacrifice our guts because We Eat (and Drink) It, So You Don't Have To!

We also came across local beer, local apple wine, mushroom bisque and a whole host of things for your listening pleasure, even if it isn't for our digestive well being.

Episode 18/Summary

We're drinking before Noon! OK, this isn't normal, but since we're having breakfast and recording, we figured Mimosas were in order (to dull the pain).

Following that we have **Kraft Cinnamon Bagelfuls**, **Jimmy Dean Bacon Breakfast Bowls**, and close it out with **Eggo Real Fruit Pizza Mixed Berry Sensations**.

John: You know what's the worst about this?

Ursula: What?

John: They, and I hate when people do this, it's the fact that they do the over-grainy, gritty, thing and they believe that the whole flavor of say, whole grain brown rice should make you taste.. I don't know.

Kevin: Make it taste the brown rice?

John: I don't know...

Ursula: It's to make you appreciate how healthy it is.

John: Yes

Lizardbeth: This rice, I don't know. I'm assuming you followed the directions completely.

## Summary

This week we have foods from several sources, include Wal\*Mart (we're so ashamed). We balanced that out with visits to our local Co-Op, and have a whole pile of things to eat about this week, starting with **Knorr Pasta Sides Cheddar Broccoli**, and then following with **TGI Friday's Chicken and Cheese Quesadia Rolls**, **Snapp's Snack Bites Cheese Sticks**, **Tandor Chef Palak (Saag) Paneer**, and **Zataran's Blackend Chicken Alfredo**.

Along the way, we discuss **Turtle Island Just for Joy Zuppa Italiana Herb and Cheese Soup**, **Blue Horizons Four Cheese Fettucini Alfredo**, and **Trader Joe's Sweet Potato Gnocchi**.

Paired with all that, we have **Oak Leaf Vinyards White Zinfindel** for Ursula, and **Lucky Duck Cabernet Sauvignon** for Kevin. Both costs $3, so we're not expecting much.

We'll also read some listener comments, rant a little, find out how to pronounce "gnocchi," and talk about cow poop.

## Summary

This time, we had terrible luck with beer. This means that Kevin had three alcoholic beverages in the first fifteen minutes of the show, before giving up and grabbing something he knows, for a fact, doesn't suck.

This also means before the first bits of food are eaten, he's pretty sloshed.

Otherwise, the offereings run the usual gamut from bad to good to just plain baffling. In other words, yet another week, where We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!

We are on our way to Ireland! And so, in order to avoid having what we are starting to call "KUEC stomach" on the airplane, we've got a short (for us) episode where we try four new potato chip flavors. And some alcohol to wash it down because...well, we're eating four new potato chip flavors.

Episode 214/Summary

I no longer have clever ways to open these posts. I honestly fear that I am repeating myself. In any case, we ARE trying really hard not to repeat foods, so this week we have any number of interesting things - for some value of "interesting." Bacon jam! More Quinoa! So many spaghetti sauces! And to top it off, Ursula is left alone with cookies.

I didn't mean to do that, but it happened, when We Eat It, So You Don't Have To.
Episode 222/Summary

What is the best way to celebrate a birthday? Recording a KUEC, of course!

OK, that is not the BEST way to do it, but after a day of laptop bag hunting - including a visit to the evil retail empire - we needed to drink anyway, so we broke out the beer and wine, pulled out chips, dips, and frozen pigs in a blanket, and hit "Record."

Why? Because We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!
Episode 153/Summary

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?

Episode 219/Summary

This week we explore a tactical error on Ursula's part - she let me (Kevin) choose the foods. She usually does that, and has words about the choices. But in the mix there is a new to us variety of SPAM, chips from Japan, and some recent finds at CostCo.

Oh yes, we have access to a CostCo now. Be afraid, be almost as afraid as we are.

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.
