A Girl, a Gay & a Thermo

5. Phoning it in & Hanging by a Thread

A Girl, a Gay & a Thermo

Show Notes

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.

Meanwhile, Bronte is still waiting with bated breath for job news… but there IS cause for celebration: he’s back on the Thermo This week we’re talking October Thermomix offers, including the very exciting Cookidoo AI review, Erin’s going rogue with nachos, and Bronte has discovered Chicken Breast Pizzaiola.

Plus, Phoning It In with Bronte has somehow acquired its own bloody theme song, we’re getting protein savvy with the spreadable things lurking in our fridges, and we finish with some truly random reccos.

We’re phoning it in. We’re hanging by a thread. But we’re here.

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...
