Ep 26 - Lulu's Noodles & Imperial Buffet's Mongolian BBQ

ttp://zweifatchicks.podbean.com 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.

Snack #2 - Clarissa and the King's Cookbook

http://zweifatchicks.podbean.com 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: http://www.veoh.com/browse/videos/category/educational_and_howto/watch/v18924548G84dj5dD For more information, check out BBC Four's website: http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcfour/medieval/cookbook.shtml

Ep 24 - Bonjour, Montreal! Part 1

http://zweifatchicks.podbean.com We found ourselves in the rare situation of being able to spend a week in Montreal, Quebec with a dear friend who was traveling on business (and thus shall remain anonymous).  All we had to do was pay for our food, so we decided to go.  This is the first of two parts.  We had a great time!
