A Girl, a Gay & a Thermo - Season 2, Episode 1

A Girl, a Gay & a Thermo

Show Notes

Well. Hello Season 2.

For anyone who’s new around here, we’re going back to the beginning — how we became friends, how this ridiculous podcast started, and why we’re still talking about dinner all these years later.

Bronte is still somewhat phoning in dinner, while Erin is back in the kitchen with a new mac and cheese obsession and a very retro spin on risotto: apricot chicken.

We’ve also been highly influenced by rice paper dumplings, attempt to recreate the sacred culinary institution that is Sizzler cheese toast, and finish with a recommendation involving… Cookie Monster.

You’ll need to make it to the end for that one.

Welcome to Season 2. Same girl. Same gay. Same Thermo.

Same old dogs. A few new tricks.

This week we’ve done the grocery shopping so you don’t have to. Well, sort of.

School holidays are FINALLY over and Erin is hanging by a thread. Between endless sleepovers, children who apparently never leave (and have individual egg orders), and Dad landing back in hospital, there’s not much left in the tank.

THE BACHELOR’S HANDBAG Australia’s most reliable dinner date is getting the episode it deserves. But first… obviously we spend a completely reasonable 12 minutes reviewing Kylie’s Grand Final performance before remembering this is allegedly a food podcast. Then we get down to chook business: Coles vs Woolies — who’s got the superior bird? What are we actually DOING with a cooked chook? Viral chicken recipes worth trying Chicken lasagne Peking chook pancakes French onion chicken pie Nagi’s Buffalo Chicken Dip — so rich you may want 000 on standby Because there is SO much more to the humble supermarket chook than sandwiches and sad Tuesday-night salad.

THIS ONE TIME, AT BAND CAMP… Yes, Erin actually plays the flute. Yes, she went to band camp. And yes, this week’s chat about our kids getting into trouble somehow turned into Erin & Bronte confessing their own school misdemeanours. Also on this week’s completely sensible food podcast...
