Episode 158/Summary

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!

Episode 10/Summary

This week, we have an interesting mix, starting with **Wanchai Ferry**. We then give **Seeds of Change Caribbean Red Rice** it's chance to wow us, both with and without **Bragg's Liquid Aminos**. Following that, we have **Dr. Praeger's Sweet Potato Pancakes** (spoiler : Find and Try These), and finally **Thai Kitchen Spicy Thai Basil**. In between, we talk cats, blimps, soy sauce, and grocery stores.

Remember, we eat it, so you don't have to - although this week, there is something you HAVE to eat (I realize this is a rarity).

Featured in the picture for this episode is Marv the Cat, rescued in 2007. Also shown is a plush Herpes from Giant Microbes.

*Episode link*

## Summary

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!

Episode 125/Summary

Has it been three years already? We'll do an aniversary show, I promise. But this week, it is time to delve into the back-log in our pantry. And that means hidden gems and lumps of clay. In fairness, it may be easier to eat clay than one or two of this week's selections.

But the beer is good, and we're not dead yet - although we may be wishing for it when digestion really hits.

All in a week's work, where We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!
Episode 130 - From Hell's Heart I E-Pub At Thee

*Episode link*

## Summary

This week, Ursula is having issues with formatting an ebook, so she's grumpy. That does not stop us from eating questionable food, and we do so with gusto! From Steak Bombs (what the heck is a steak bomb?) to fair trade chocolate, from "kosher" mac and cheese to pear cider...

...well, you know the drill - We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!

Episode 131/Summary

We are in Minnesota for a few days so Ursula can sign all the Digger Kickstarter rewards that need signing. And since we're here, SofaWolf asked to record a new episode with us. How can we refuse a chance to share the love (for some value of "love") with some of our favorite people (and a sponsor).

There are cheese curds and beer, pate and pasta chips, ciders and ravioli, and a whole slew of other things.

All this and more, because even in Minnesota, We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!
Episode 1/Summary

Kevin and Ursula review cheap pre-packaged food. It’s an experiment. Tell us if you enjoy it, if you hate it, or if you wonder why we’re bothering at all.

Crappy production values, a small bit of static during the microwaving, and recorded in our kitchen. We had fun making it, even if you don’t have fun listening to it.
Episode 122/Summary

So our friend Uncle Kage made a surprise visit to the house for brunch. He was dressed as a priest. Long story there, and I'll leave the telling of it to him. However, as the day wore on, and dinner approached, we asked if he wanted to stay on, and so he said yes...

...this week, there is no mis-pronunciation of food additives, because an expert was on hand to pronounce them for us. So for those of you drinking at home, there are no shots for \*THAT\* this week. There is, however, Shoju. And the terror of a man who has never seen, nor eaten, a pre-packaged frozen "bite."

So join us for the fun, when We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!
Episode 103/Summary

You won't get any revelations from this week's show, unless you expect amazing food. There is no amazing food this week. If anything, it may have injured Kevin. Was it the rice side? Was it the noodles? Was it the chicken croquetes? We may never know, but we do find out more than we ever wanted to know about Ursula's views on the relationship between her colon and her god.

There is also cider, pan frying in oil, and a backlog of beer to discuss.

Happy New Year! And remember - We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!

## Summary

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.

Twas the weekend before Christmas, and all through the kitchen,

Not a stomach was grumbling, not even the beagle's.

The cider was poured in the mug with great care,

in hopes that the hangover wouldn't be there....

This week, we have a whole host of things to devour, including a bottle of Angry Orchard Iceman, frozen enchiladas, and some Christmas Pudding. Kevin even whips up a honey-mustard dipping sauce in under 3 mins, and Ursula gets VERY drunk. Why?

Puffed goldfish? Check. Faux chicken? Check. Faux jerky? Check. Noodles with no English on them whatsoever? Check. Chocolate things? Check.

Looks like another weekend in our kitchen, where We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!
Episode 146/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.

So there is your warning for this week, when We Eat It, So You Don't Have To.

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.

Our local co-op has brought in a shipment of the new Dogfish Head Etrusca Bronze - a beer that is brewed using both the ingrediants and methods of the Bronze Age settlers of Tuscany. It is also 8.5% ABV, so you can imagine how Kevin feels about it.

We also explore the contents of a new box of things from a listener, open up a package of spicy nuts, and find out who the Etruscans were.

Episode 142/Summary

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 the things you love...

...here, and only here, when We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!
Episode 135/Summary

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.
