On this week's episode, we are preparing for Mother's Day, so that means we talk all about brunch. But first, we have a couple of special guests, Catherine of the Gluttonous Geek and Annette from Origami Foodie, who tell us a recipe that reminds them of their mothers and grandmothers. Sharon and Winter then delve into the history of brunch, and how to create a well-designed brunch gathering. We then help a Food Fight listener with how to say thank you to a generous relative.

On this week's episode, we talk to the ever knowledgable Anna Curran, founder of the online service Cookbook Create, about the history of cookbooks. She delves into the oldest cookbooks and how certain things, like literacy and the internet, changed cookbooks and how they are presented. Did you know there is a recipe for a hamburger that dates to the 4th century in a Roman cookbook? Crazy! Anna has given our listeners a special surprise, so go to the show notes at www.hungrysquared.com to see what you get! Also, if you are looking for a cool and unique gift for Mother's Day, bridal shower, or wedding, you can make your own cookbook at www.CookbookCreate.com. Thanks again, Anna!

We also help our Food Fight listener differentiate between tomato paste and tomato sauce.

Happy President's Day! This week we have a mini-episode and Lee (Winter's hubby and our tech guy) is filling in for Sharon, and we're speculating what were George Washington's and Abraham Lincoln's favorite foods. We are definitely not qualified historians and our guesses our out in left field, but it sure was fun to learn a little bit more about our past presidents.

We're out and about in this week's episode. We wanted to prepare you with a little history lesson on all the take-out containers, from pizza boxes to Dixie cups, and styrofoam clamshells to Chinese take-out boxes, that will house all the food you may be eating in the month of November because you know you won't be cooking a lot before the big turkey meal you'll later make.

Plus, we have a special guest advice giver, Kori Lusignan from MiseryLovesCookery.com, on our Food Fight segment. Kori will be helping us out and one of our listeners with awkward lulls in conversation at dinner gatherings. Let's taco 'bout it!

We're delving into the history of school lunch and remembering our own school lunch days. Winter loved school lunch, but is jealous of Sharon and her cool lunch box. We help one of our listeners out during our Food Fight segment who has a problem with a funky Nalgene bottle.
