Kevin And Ursula Eat Cheap

We're back from NYC, and having survived street food there, we put our innards on the line once again for your listening pleasure. Ursula mixes up something called 'The Prospector" while Kevin stays in the relatively safe realm of beer. There is also an Atkins frozen meal, gluten-free pizza, bargain basement chips from a major retailer, and more! Be sure to listen in, because once again, We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!

This week we have a houseguest, and that means we force him to eat with us! Jeff from SofaWolf Press was in town, and as long as he's here we figured he needed to taste what he was sponsoring. That means frozen enchiladas, avocado oil chips, and a whole lot more.He also brought beer, which is always welcome. So join us in our kitchen, where Kevin, Ursula, and Jeff Eat It So You Don't Have To!

This week, Kevin is on the road, so while Ursula mixed a drink or two, Kevin read some of your emails. Hope you enjoy it, and we'll be back with a full show next week - when once again, We Eat It, So You Don't Have To! Addendum : It would appear I uploaded the wrong file. This has been fixed. I blame jet lag. Yes, jet lag. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. - K

Yes, the title is actually a thing, and Ursula will talk about her discovery of our very own lawn crawfish, and her reaction to it. There is also bad food, good food, good beer, bad cider, dog treats and a whole lot more. While the lawn crawfish isn't on the menu, for everything else, We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!

In our various travels, Ursula and I encounter all manner of things. And common among them is Beef Jerky in all its forms. This week, we will take a look at three such items. Maybe look isn't the right term. I mean, we will look at them, but we'll also taste them, for good or ill. If you want to find out how ill, be sure to listen this week, where We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!

Apologies for being a day late on posting this, but we got caught up in life over the weekend. This week, there are chips, chips, more chips, and chunks. Remember, when strange chunks come our way, We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!

We have crossed over the shark on the back of bacon this week, as we have both bacon jam and bacon jerky in the pile of foods this week. Other things in the pile include instant beef stroganoff, beer bread mix in a bottle, meatballs, and a chocolate bar that is too pure of heart for us to actually eat. Mothman returns as well, along with sponsors, beagles, cats and collies. Only on KUEC, where We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!

We're back! And I'm pretty sure we're home until the end of May, so you can expect real podcasts for the next several weeks! Huzzah! So we picked up the mail, and there was this HUGE box of boxes, just for us. You guys love us! So much that some of the things we actually look forward to eating. But there is this one can.... Also this week, lots of beers and skillet meals to cover, the state of the pond, and some of the new potato chips that have been making the news lately. All this because we love you, and because We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!

The Brain Worms want you to listen to this episode. The Brain Worms are your friend. The Brain Worms want you to be happy.  We've been playing a lot of Plague, Inc while we travel, and we'll talk about that, as well as eat more things picked up on our last trip. We will also read more of your email, while we do enjoy getting. The Brain Worms want us to say that We Eat it, So You Don't Have To.

So we've been on the road this past week, and then the recording of a "real" episode got co-opted by a work emergency. Instead, we will read some reader mail and eat some things we picked up while we travelled.  Even when we're on the road, We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!

There is granola this week - two kinds! - hence the reference in the title. All in all, though, this turns out to be one of the highest ranking shows we've done, which surprised us. There is also the obligatory vomit reference, parenting notes, a special guest teenager, and beagle howling. There is also durian. So it goes in our kitchen, where We Eat It So You Don't Have To!

Once again, the subject of Bigfoot rears its furry non-existent head, and so you should go in warned. Thankfully it doesn't show up until the end fo the podcast, so you get almost a full hour of food that shouldn't be eaten beforehand. Frozen Mini Tacos are back! New kinds of honey! INSTANT HASH BROWNS! All this and a discussion of Sir David Attenborough to boot! All this because 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. Cheap eats and history, only on Kevin and Ursula Eat Cheap, because We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!

We're back from the con, and what a great trip it was! We got to fly first class and everything! Ursula will talk about that while we eat more pizza (as requested!), mediocre soup, and lackluster ramen. There is also overpriced comfort food, excellent cider, canned coffee, and a whole lot more. There are innuendos, surprises around every corner, and a cameo by Mad Emily. All this and more, when We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!

Our friends Bruce and Tina brought us some presents from their recent trip to Indonesia, and one of them is a bag of Civet Cat Coffee! You know the kind, the one from beans harvested from civet cat poop. So this week, we drink one of the most sought-after coffees in the world, and you should know in advance that also means lots and lots of poop jokes. Blame Ursula.  We also delve into the mass of reader sent-in items, and find some heat-stabilized Alu Muttar, Aloe Vera Drink, and even more from the Philippines. All this and more, when We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!

Kevin is on the road this week, so we sat down over dinner and read some reader mail. Enjoy, and we'll be back next week!

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!

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?  Because We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!

This week, we fling crap at the Mayan Apocalypse. We also eat some crap, but that isn't really out of the ordinaty, now is it? We have crap cider, crap flavored water, and even crap pasta. Oh, and crap potatoes.  But there are some gems in this one as well, so you better listen soon, before the velociraptors come.  And if we survive the food and the end of the world, we'll be back next week because We Eat it, So You Don't Have To.

So, uh, episode 100. You know, when we started this, we didn't even have a name for it, and I expected it to last a few weeks, and nobody to listen. Frankly, we expected it to die quietly and unremarkably.  Over two years and 100 episodes later, here we are, and it's time to do something extravagant. We've been avoiding this show for a few months now, but because we love you, and because the intestines are evil and need to be punished, here it is, the SPAM show. Five different canned meat products, sliced, fried, and eaten just for you. And beers, chocolates, honeys, and a cider to boot. Thank you for listening, and hopefully we'll be around for another 100, since We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!
