Episode 99 - "Crab Snuff Flick"
03/12/2012 Duração: 01h12minSomewhere we made a horrible mistake with this one. I mean, it wasn't that we started by buying foods at a Wal-Mart, that *NEVER* goes wrong. No, maybe it was the squeezable nacho cheese sauce. Maybe it was the curry noodles. Maybe, just maybe, it was the block of Pace brand cheese product. Whatever it was, the title shows where the show ended up. And we even ate all the stuff listed above. And there was a recap of Kevin's Chili from earlier in the week. And there was discussion of some other things, but frankly, it's a bit blurry now since there was also cider and strong beer. In any case, we go once more into the breach, because We Eat It, So You Don't Have To.

Episode 98 - "Set it to 'Wumbo'"
26/11/2012 Duração: 01h02minWe survived Thanksgiving here in the US, and a portion of this week's episode is a discussion of Kevin's cooking of same. How did he do the turkey? What about the stuffing? And was there beer? On either side of that, there are two kinds of pizza, more beer, chocolate, peanuts, cider, and even sweet potato tortilla chips. Yes, you read that right - sweet potato tortilla chips. All that, and more, because We Eat (and drink) It, So You Don't Have To!

Episode 97 - Drunk Ghosts
19/11/2012 Duração: 01h13minBack from our various trips hither and yon, we return this week with more things to eat, more beers to drink, and at some point, sake. Revel in our tales from Election night, learn part of the history of the "TV Dinner" and hear what happens if you look between the ears of a cat. Along the way there will be chocolate and figs, chick peas and rice noodles, and flavor-coated Wheat Thins. All this and more when We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!

Episode 96 - LizardBeth Visits!
28/10/2012 Duração: 01h54minJoining us this week is our freind LizardBeth, who came down to KUEC headquarters for a visit. It's an extra-long episode - almost two hours - and we subject her to the ups and downs of Eating Cheap. Tuna Jerky? Check! Strange Asian Candy? Check! Teryaki Soda? Check! OK, There may also have been a bit of "revenge food" for the Durian Cookies she gave us earlier this year. We had fun, and so did she, because We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!

Episode 95 - The Narwhal Episode
21/10/2012 Duração: 01h11minNo, we did not actually eat anything Narwhal in this episode, but they are discussed. Other things discussed include a new load of compost, why Ursula is so drunk this time, and the merits of Hot Pockets as "not food." In between all that we eat more things from our friends in Chicago, try a new cider, and review more Hamburger Helper. All this and more, when We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!

Episode 94 - All The Wyomings
14/10/2012 Duração: 01h13minFirst up, I apologize for calling this one Episode 93 when it is, in fact, Episode 94. Don't let the intro fool you, this really is Episode 94, not Episode 93. We start off with a discussion of an Irish Gift Shop in France, and the beer Ursula brought back from there. There is also a discussion of food evangelists, a discussion of one of Kevin's many madnesses, and eventually the best cheesecake Kevin has ever eaten (Hint: It is NOT the one pictured or reviewed in this podcast). Be regaled with stories of Ursula's grandmother! Hear the miracle of the soap evangelist! And find out what the best chocolate we have ever reviewed is, because it is in this episode. All this and more when We Eat It So You Don't Have To!

Episode 93 - Vegemite vs. Marmite
08/10/2012 Duração: 01h08minWhen a fan in Australia sent us a tube of Vegemite, there was only one thing to do - aquire a jar of Marmite and have a yeast-product face off! (Many thanks to DJ Psyche in the UK for sending over the Marmite). And so with toast in hand, we bravely go where we have not gone before... ...there is also French wine that is too good for us, more food from our friends Dan and Tom, a box containing all kinds of goodies from a fan, and not one but two foods that have Ursula remarking upon it's color. All that and more, because We Eat It, So YOu Don't Have To!

Episode 92 - Revenge of the Poppers
01/10/2012 Duração: 01h01minWhile we were in Chicago, our freinds Dan and Tom took us to this amazing Asian Market. And then they sent us all the stuff they so kindly bought for us there. If they didn't take us for good beer and great dining while we were there, I'd guess they didn't like us. There is Teryaki Soda in there. We don't drink it this week, but still - TERYAKI SODA, PEOPLE! AHEM. In other news, we do play catch up on several of the things we ate while on hiatus, pull stuff out of various boxes that you, the listeners, sent us, and have a grand old time. Right up until the end... Ursula is back from France, Kevin isn't working 14 hour days, and so We Eat it, So You Don't Have To once again! (Did you know that George Lucas had originally titled Star Wars Episode 6 "Revenge of the Jedi" but switched to "Return of the Jedi" after deciding that a Jedi wouldn't be out for Revenge? That has aboslutely NO bearing on this episode, but it is an interesting tidbit of geek folklore.)

Episode 91 - "Leper and Liver"
09/09/2012 Duração: 01h03minWe're back from our last round of travels! And we bring some of the bounty we found with us - did you know they sell beef jerkey in vending machines in the mall in New Mexico? Neither did we, and that meant we had to try some! There is also a weak rant from Kevin, more Target clearance food, and the cider we've been trying to get our hands on for about 9 months. It's good to be home, where We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!

Episode 90 - Chemical Warfare, Border Collie Style
19/08/2012 Duração: 01h12minIf you look at this week's photo, you will see that the mascot is a pink pig-shaped container of candy. We do not recommend eating the candy. Ursula was, however, hugging the pig by the end of the show, because it is very, very cute. And we did not record Kevin making Invader Zim noises at the pig, because we have some class. Not much, considering what we ate this week, but submitting our listeners to Kevin imitating animated characters is even past our limits. Just remember folks, good or bad, We Eat it, So You Don't Have To.

Episode 89 - "I will show you fear in a handfull of ramen"
13/08/2012 Duração: 01h06minLet me be honest - I just drank about 2 pints of 11% ABV Ale, and I'm not really sure what we ate anymore. I know that there was something with noodles, and a lot of frozen things, but otherwise it's kind of a blur. Thank goodness I took notes, because I'm somewhat sure a part of me doesn't want to remember all the things we ate from the clearance aisle at Target. And people wonder why we drink during the show. Really, if you knew what we knew, and had what we have in the freezer for the next time... Then again, I suppose this is why you listen - becase We Eat It, So You Don't Have To.

Episode 88 - "It's not a face cancer!"
05/08/2012 Duração: 01h05minDid you know that T. Rex and T. Devil share a similar kind of communicable cancer? We'll tell you all about it! And we'll also talk about dressing for success and titmice! Oh, and there is food as well. Pizza with Uncured Pepperoni, some pasta and fresh tomato, and an aptly named cider just to name a few. All this and more in our kitchen, when We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!

Episode 87 - The Gay Giraffe Episode
29/07/2012 Duração: 01h06minI am going too apologize now for this episode. In it, we eat two kinds of sausage and then a can of Heinz Spotted Dick, so you KNOW what we talk about. That's right, Gay Giraffes! We also have some pretentious ravioli, broccoli cheddar soup, and Australian biscuits. All that and more, when We Eat It So You Don't Have To!
-
Episode 86 - Cock Soup
23/07/2012 Duração: 01h09minSo one of our listeners decided that we needed to try the Instant Jamaican Cock Flavored Soup that she found in a local grocery. So much so that when we lost the original packet, she sent us two more. And because of this dedication, we had to make it. And make lots and lots of jokes about the name. Along the way, we'll talk about the latest uses for our tomato harvest, mispronounce both German and French, and eat chocolate mushrooms. All this and more, when We Eat it, So You Don't Have To.
-
Episode 85 - Guava Flavoered Sea Anemone
15/07/2012 Duração: 01h13minNo, we don't eat sea anemone in this episode. But Ursula does have some interesting facts about them, including why you shouldn't kiss them. But before we get there, we have pickled eggs, guava biscuits, and banana bread beer. Oh, and these cheese crisps made of nothing but cheese, among other things. Tales of summer camp, a discussion of who Velma was dating, and maybe a new cider in our kitchen, where We Eat It So You Don't Have To!

Episode 84 - The Branston Pickle Episode
08/07/2012 Duração: 01h07minWe're back! We survived a convention, con-crud, a wedding in MN, and now another episode of KUEC is done! This week, we have a whole ton of fan-sent foodstuffs, including The Original Branston Pickle, a tin of Steak & Kidney Pie, lots of odd things from Asian grocery stores, and even some Key Lime Soda. Yes, Key Lime Soda. Yes, it is green. No, you have to listen to find out how it tastes. It's good to be back, because We Eat it, So You Don't Have To! Update : Phote added!

Travel Interlude 4
25/06/2012 Duração: 16minSo this didn't post when it was supposed to, and for that I appologize. This is a little something we recorded before our trip to PA for AnthroCon 2012 that was supposed to post Sunday the 17th. Here it is now, while we attempt to recover from con-crud.

Episode 83 - "A dime-bag of broccoli"
10/06/2012 Duração: 01h05minWe're taking a break from our new full-time hobby (Diablo3) and eating stuff that even the most hard-core gamer wouldn't put in their mouth. Yes, there is healthy food, along with weird candy, sweet wine, and pomegranante beer. There is even an MRE, which we have determined is a WMD being enacted on our own troops. All that and more on this week's episode of Kevin and Ursula Eat Cheap, where We Eat It, So You Don't Have To.

Episode 82 - Fruit of the Pork
03/06/2012 Duração: 01h09minSo I had this brilliant description for the episode and then fat-fingered the bit where I save it. So you know what? You get this knock off description. You don't know what's in it, and you will not know, unless you listen. Just like we have no idea what some of the things we ate were this week. Until we ate them. And then we found out. Just like you will, because We Eat It, So You Don't Have To.

Episode 81 - Black Metal Ring of Fire
20/05/2012 Duração: 56minThere are horrors upon horrors heaped on us this week, starting with something containing meatballs (at least, the packaging SAYS it's meatballs), and ending with something that may or may not be made of food. And in between, Ursula discovers the joys (or not) of Buffalo Sauce, Kevin talks about his experiences with Mio Water Enhancers, and we encounter a chunk or Italy - at least, that's what the packaging claims. So far, the day after, there is no intestinal distress. But you never know, when We Eat It So You Don't Have To!
