Show Notes
Today we tackle these countertop jars as we lose interest in birthdays and deliver inside jokes to subscribers only. We deal with dressings, Blink 002 and a brand new special guest who oozes everywhere before declaring that ignorance is bliss. Through emulsifiers and polarities we finally decide on our vinaigrette boundaries even as we deny mustard its due.
Matthew's Salmon Cucumber dish 4 salmon fillets, about 8 ounces each, skin on Salt and pepper to taste 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided 1 English cucumber, halved, seeded and cut on the diagonal into half-moons 1 shallot, thinly sliced 1/4 cup red-wine vinegar 2 teaspoons sugar 2 scallions, white parts only, thinly sliced 1 teaspoon yellow mustard seeds 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1. Preheat the oven to 500 degrees. Season the salmon with salt and pepper on both sides. Put 1 tablespoon olive oil into a 12-inch ovenproof skillet and place over high heat until oil is shiny.
2. Add the salmon fillets to the pan, skin side up. Sear one minute. Flip the fillets and transfer the pan to the oven. Roast until medium rare, 6 to 8 minutes (you can check for doneness by peeking between the flakes).
3. While fish is roasting, place the cucumbers in a bowl and add the shallot, remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil, vinegar, sugar, scallions and mustard seeds. Season with salt and pepper and toss well.
4. Divide the cucumbers evenly among four plates. Place a salmon fillet, skin side up, on top of each portion of cucumbers. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and serve.

You're not ready for this jelly. A couple of uninformed kangaroos ask 'what's in our pouches?' as we squeeze, spoon and dilute these mystery drinks. Once slick boxes, ice cups and Big Balls start invading mouth spigots and face holes things get explicit fast. Molly goes through something and Matthew can't stop blushing before they reveal produce confessions and visit watermelon pools.
Can you say 'sugar rush'? We are learning something new today though be warned that this episode is short, nonsensical and contains much chewing. Matthew has a manly moment and Molly gets the ick as they tackle humanity's greatest challenge: fun, gross, interactive human sack candy. These lard lumps and snot rockets give us a new business idea which, of course, means more work for Supreme Producer Abby.
Today we're discussing everyone's favorite misunderstood frat bread as we're partially buried, lit and slapped. After the cameo and before the voice memo, we free flow into some bread droopings and lick the flames to remain radically present and answer the call of the mild, all for you dear LILYs.
Knock knock, we're sticky! Mr. Etymology drops by to follow up on last week's promise about mechanical agitation and Molly almost breaks her mic. We go beyond and inside simple gelatinous viscosity as we barely scratch the surface of the history of rice and learn 27 things about The Fast & The Furious.
Spread em! Today we survive a Boursin Ambush by leaning into our snooty francophile personas while tasting this creamy, crumbly spread that somehow doesn't scare Matthew... too much. After a quick tech support session we go wild for this coarse taste in a velvety paste as we dodge committee meetings, orgies and Peter Pan. wink wink.
