Here is our first episode recorded since we came back from Montreal, hope you enjoy it! A couple of corrections to our prattling:
- Cilantro is indeed from Southern Europe and Asia, not North America
- AJ Minati was the brother in the Exploding Barrel podcast that mentioned LuLu’s Noodles in The Pitt expansion of Fall Out 3.

Unfortunately, for the last few weeks, the Zwei Fat Chicks have had the flu and were unable to record.
Fortunately, we have an unreleased snack to placate you with! We incorrectly refer to the show as “Clarissa and the King’s Table” - it is actually “Clarissa and the King’s Cookbook” and we found an educational site that you can watch the video on for free:

Mediterranean and Middle Eastern food meet in the middle and produce some tasty dishes, as well as overlaps in culture. You’ll find many Greek/Lebanese/Turkish/Macedonian/Exotic restaurants in most major cities. This episode is devoted to Mediterranean/Middle Eastern restaurants that are dear to our hearts - from the feta to falafels, grape leaves to gyros!

Ep 7 - Take Two! - 100 Mile Diet
For some reason, the FTP uploader had a hiccup the first time we posted this, and only 10 minutes was posted. Now, behold, the full 41 minutes of banter, the way it was intended!
Main Entry: 1di·et 
Pronunciation: \ˈdī-ət\Function:noun Etymology:Middle English diete, from Anglo-French, from Latin diaeta, from Greek diaita, literally, manner of living, from diaitasthai to lead one’s life Date:13th century. 1 a: food and drink regularly provided or consumed b: habitual nourishment c: the kind and amount of food prescribed for a person or animal for a special reason d: a regimen of eating and drinking sparingly so as to reduce one’s weight <going on a diet>2: something provided or experienced repeatedly <a diet of Broadway shows and nightclubs — Frederick Wyatt>
In this case, the 100 Mile Diet is about definitions 1a, b, c and 2, not necessarily the most common use of the word today in relating to a regimen to shed pounds. There are a LOT of good points about the idea, and in this podcast the Zwei Fat Chicks review the book by James MacKinnon and Alisa Smith and discuss the good, the impractical and a few ways to adapt the idea if needed.
