    9. Desperately Seeking Employment

    It's been one of those weeks, and frankly, we're just happy to be here. Erin narrowly survives an assassination attempt involving her mother, a spider and a moving vehicle, while Bronte continues the agonising wait for news on the job front. Meanwhile, the Bachelor's Handbag saga takes another ridiculous turn, Meghan's back with more jam-related nonsense, and we're both recommending pickle Twisties as a gift to humanity. In 'What's for Dinner', Bronte's dishing up a comforting chicken stew (and poaching chicken for his toothless dog), while Erin discovers a cracking asparagus omelette thanks to Cookidoo AI. We also share some lovely listener feedback on the ordinary things you're doing with your Thermomix. And just when we think we're wrapping things up, Erin's phone rings. It's Bronte's prospective employer, calling for a character reference. DURING THE BLOODY PODCAST. Does she give him a glowing review? Does he get the job? And should anyone really be trusting Erin with this level of responsibility? Has Erin secured Bronte's future or single-handedly destroyed his career prospects? Tune in next week for the thrilling conclusion of Desperately Seeking Employment! 🤣 Bachelors handbag https://www.woolworths.com.au/shop/productdetails/6078232/woolworths-bachelor-s-handbag Vanessa's $69 Bachelor's handbag https://www.instagram.com/vanessadoesart/ Meghan nonsense Dog toy https://asever.com/products/raspberry-spread-plush-squeaker?_pos=1&_sid=58d66edd0&_ss=r $65 popcorn https://asever.com/products/the-signature-chocolate-covered-popcorn-medley?_pos=1&_sid=bba838c81&_ss=r Creamy mustard chicken stew https://cookidoo.com.au/recipes/recipe/en-AU/r132391 Asparagus and pea omlette https://cookidoo.com.au/recipes/recipe/en-AU/r106573 Vanilla syrup https://cookidoo.com.au/recipes/recipe/en-AU/r815631 Doggy dinner https://cookidoo.com.au/created-recipes/en-AU/01M62B6XJ46B8CR8DQR05HGGGG Poaching chicken https://cookidoo.com.au/recipes/recipe/en-AU/r150434 You can find Bronte and Erin at; https://www.instagram.com/a_girl_a_gay_and_a_thermo/ https://www.instagram.com/illhavewhatshesmixing https://www.instagram.com/homo_with_a_thermo/ Hosted on Acast.

    8. The Ordinary & The Extraordinary

    Sometimes it's the ordinary things that turn out to be extraordinary. And sometimes it's just an extraordinarily shit week. This week, we're finding the magic in the mundane. From boiling grains and washing lettuce to chopping salads, whipping up marinades and melting butter, we're asking whether the real value of our Thermomix lies in the everyday jobs rather than the show-stopping recipes. Speaking of ordinary life, money is flying out the door faster than we can earn it. Vet bills, car repairs and concert tickets... is anyone else feeling personally victimised by their bank account? In the kitchen, Bronte gets his cob loaf on, graduates to homemade croutons, then promptly phones it in with a Caesar salad. Erin, naturally, makes hers from scratch. Along with fried chicken steak. YUM. Meanwhile, Bronte launches a daring rescue mission for some mushrooms and parsley facing certain death in his fridge. His husband, as always, remains blissfully unaware that food exists when Bronte leaves the house. And just when we think life couldn't get more ridiculous, we take a look at the news cycle. Sharks, tigers, rollercoasters, people waking up at their own funerals... and Russell Brand. What an extraordinary collection of horrors. It's the ordinary, the extraordinary and everything gloriously unhinged in between.

    7. Cob Loaf, C-Bombs & A Bowl New World

    Language warning: We may have outdone ourselves this week. Some colourful language ahead (don't worry, we found the beep button). It's a bowl new world, baby! A brand-new Thermomix offer has dropped, and we're talking all things second bowls, bread and why cooking WITHOUT a Thermo should frankly be illegal. Bronte's got a cob loaf story involving a road trip, a husband and a missing Thermomix. Spoiler alert: things did not go smoothly. In What's For Dinner, Erin's been travelling the world via Cookidoo, translating an Italian recipe for slow-cooked beef brisket bolognese. We're also revisiting last week's recipes, with dumpling tray bake and lamb filo pie both getting a run in our kitchens. Plus, we're asking which breads we're ACTUALLY making in our Thermos, Bronte's phoning it in (complete with song), and we're putting the world to rights with things that have absolutely NO PLACE in 2026. Buckle up. It's a sweary one.

    6. Supermarket Sweep: Coles vs Woolies vs Aldi

    This week we’ve done the grocery shopping so you don’t have to. Well, sort of. We’re diving headfirst into the October recipe offerings from Coles, Woolies and ALDI, putting 15 recipes under the microscope to answer life’s most pressing culinary questions… Who thought a carrot cake disguised as a STEAK was a good idea? Are viral dumpling bakes actually genius? Has Woolies officially lost the plot with fairy bread ice-cream bao buns? Are sausage roll scrolls the snack we didn’t know we needed? And most importantly… who the f* is making THAT on a Tuesday?!** From genuinely brilliant weeknight dinners to recipes that belong in a psychiatric assessment, we’re handing out awards and crowning our supermarket champion. Somewhere along the way, we also discuss the Sam Wood situation, the literary car crash that is Verity, and the new ceramic Varoma dish. It’s possibly our longest episode yet.

    5. Phoning it in & Hanging by a Thread

    School holidays are FINALLY over and Erin is hanging by a thread. Between endless sleepovers, children who apparently never leave (and have individual egg orders), and Dad landing back in hospital, there’s not much left in the tank. Meanwhile, Bronte is still waiting with bated breath for job news… but there IS cause for celebration: he’s back on the Thermo This week we’re talking October Thermomix offers, including the very exciting Cookidoo AI review, Erin’s going rogue with nachos, and Bronte has discovered Chicken Breast Pizzaiola. Plus, Phoning It In with Bronte has somehow acquired its own bloody theme song, we’re getting protein savvy with the spreadable things lurking in our fridges, and we finish with some truly random reccos. We’re phoning it in. We’re hanging by a thread. But we’re here.

    4. The Bachelor's Handbag

    THE BACHELOR’S HANDBAG Australia’s most reliable dinner date is getting the episode it deserves. But first… obviously we spend a completely reasonable 12 minutes reviewing Kylie’s Grand Final performance before remembering this is allegedly a food podcast.
