I'm Molly and I'm Matthew and this is spilled milk the show where we cook something delicious, eat it all, and you can't have any.

And today we are going to be celebrating Irish Spring, also known as St. Patrick's Day, and we have

What is Cole Cannon and does it involve an actual cannon?

It involves a potato and a cabbage and a cannon.

And basically you're gonna shoot the potato and the cabbage out of the cannon.

No.

Wait wait wait wait wait, wait, could it involve a potato and a cabbage and two cannons and you shoot
