Oh yeah, 5 00:00:20,373 --> 00:00:21,333 Speaker 3: there's no more better. 6 00:00:21,733 --> 00:00:22,253 Speaker 1: I mean, that's. 7 00:00:22,893 --> 00:00:27,293 Speaker 3: Okay, more better. The other one is harassment is harassment. 8 00:00:27,373 --> 00:00:30,133 Speaker 3: It's not harassment. Get that man's name out of there. 9 00:00:30,173 --> 00:00:32,973 Speaker 3: It's not Harris errors harassment. 10 00:00:33,253 --> 00:00:37,413 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, is that anyway, it's the most happiest. I mean, 11 00:00:37,413 --> 00:00:40,653 Speaker 2: that's the that's the most happiest. Yeah, anyway, I don't know, 12 00:00:40,773 --> 00:00:45,973 Speaker 2: it's anyway. There are lots of examples. I know this morning. 13 00:00:46,013 --> 00:00:48,773 Speaker 2: I actually think it's a very dangerous, very dangerous game 14 00:00:48,813 --> 00:00:50,453 Speaker 2: to begin a show. I've only thought about this now, 15 00:00:50,613 --> 00:00:53,413 Speaker 2: but to begin the show with all of this judgment, 16 00:00:53,773 --> 00:00:56,053 Speaker 2: knowing that I've got to get through three hours where 17 00:00:56,133 --> 00:00:58,613 Speaker 2: every single sentence is going to be scrutinized. 18 00:00:59,493 --> 00:01:03,693 Speaker 3: Hey, well, let's tune a corner with Chariristmas joyous festivities. 19 00:01:04,973 --> 00:01:07,493 Speaker 3: So this is the first of I think that our 20 00:01:07,533 --> 00:01:10,093 Speaker 3: Christmas specials, we might do Christmas food for the rest 21 00:01:10,093 --> 00:01:13,013 Speaker 3: of this year. I mean, hey, because we've gotta got 22 00:01:13,173 --> 00:01:15,093 Speaker 3: a lot of things to get through. But I love 23 00:01:15,173 --> 00:01:18,853 Speaker 3: this idea of giving edible gifts. You know, they're useful, 24 00:01:18,893 --> 00:01:21,933 Speaker 3: they're practical, they're not buying into that kind of over 25 00:01:22,013 --> 00:01:26,373 Speaker 3: consumerism jack, which I love. And also this is a 26 00:01:26,373 --> 00:01:28,013 Speaker 3: bit of a judgment call. But you've got people who 27 00:01:28,053 --> 00:01:30,813 Speaker 3: you buy serious presents for, like big presents, you spend 28 00:01:30,813 --> 00:01:32,933 Speaker 3: a bit of money possibly, and then there's lots of 29 00:01:32,933 --> 00:01:35,373 Speaker 3: people that you want to say thank you to. So 30 00:01:35,453 --> 00:01:38,013 Speaker 3: for me, it's the guy that mows my lawns all year. 31 00:01:38,133 --> 00:01:40,893 Speaker 3: I want to give him something, but I probably wouldn't 32 00:01:40,893 --> 00:01:42,413 Speaker 3: buy a gift for him, but I'll give him an 33 00:01:42,413 --> 00:01:43,733 Speaker 3: little edible gift, you know. 34 00:01:44,093 --> 00:01:45,933 Speaker 4: Yeah, And so people like that. 35 00:01:46,013 --> 00:01:48,413 Speaker 3: I think it's good. I think it's fine friends. 36 00:01:48,213 --> 00:01:50,613 Speaker 2: You know, I think it's a great idea. Like the 37 00:01:50,933 --> 00:01:53,373 Speaker 2: classic bit of thought as well. You're not just buying 38 00:01:53,413 --> 00:01:56,773 Speaker 2: them some old no. 39 00:01:56,093 --> 00:01:58,253 Speaker 3: And you can package them up nicely. So I've got 40 00:01:58,253 --> 00:02:00,133 Speaker 3: a whole lot of ideas. I'm going to run for 41 00:02:00,173 --> 00:02:03,973 Speaker 3: a recipe for pistachio and cranberry piscotti, but think things 42 00:02:04,053 --> 00:02:07,533 Speaker 3: like preserved lemons, fruit paste, chutneys, and sour kraut. Although 43 00:02:07,533 --> 00:02:09,013 Speaker 3: I would say with a lot of those you should 44 00:02:09,013 --> 00:02:11,933 Speaker 3: have made those last month. But Anyway, there's plenty of 45 00:02:12,013 --> 00:02:14,653 Speaker 3: other ideas that you can kind of whip up, you know, 46 00:02:14,693 --> 00:02:17,373 Speaker 3: this weekend, next weekend, right up to Christmas. Short bread, 47 00:02:17,653 --> 00:02:22,173 Speaker 3: little flavored oils, scented salts and sugars. Meringues are a 48 00:02:22,173 --> 00:02:24,653 Speaker 3: really good one that you can just wrap up. Spice nuts, 49 00:02:24,693 --> 00:02:26,893 Speaker 3: and if you look on the zb site and search 50 00:02:26,973 --> 00:02:28,933 Speaker 3: on my name, you'll find one year I did spice 51 00:02:29,013 --> 00:02:32,453 Speaker 3: nuts for us. Dooker, a gingerbread loaf would be great. 52 00:02:33,053 --> 00:02:36,293 Speaker 3: And this piscotti. So when you get piscotti at a cafe, 53 00:02:36,573 --> 00:02:39,613 Speaker 3: you also have to book in for the dentist because 54 00:02:39,613 --> 00:02:43,933 Speaker 3: it's so hard and terrible. Okay, but homemade piscotti is 55 00:02:44,053 --> 00:02:48,293 Speaker 3: brittle and crunchy but not hard and beautiful but still 56 00:02:48,293 --> 00:02:50,973 Speaker 3: perfect for a dunk and a coffee. So look, oven 57 00:02:51,013 --> 00:02:52,933 Speaker 3: goes on one eighty. I'm gonna have to rush through this, 58 00:02:53,013 --> 00:02:55,133 Speaker 3: so I'm just gonna kind of calmly go through it. 59 00:02:55,853 --> 00:02:58,933 Speaker 3: Line a baking tray with baking paper, big large bowl. 60 00:02:58,973 --> 00:03:03,013 Speaker 3: You're gonna whisk three medium sized eggs, half a cup 61 00:03:03,013 --> 00:03:05,573 Speaker 3: of olive oil. You could use five tablespoons of butter 62 00:03:05,693 --> 00:03:08,933 Speaker 3: if you like a good half a teaspoon of fresh 63 00:03:08,973 --> 00:03:11,693 Speaker 3: orange zest or more. And you're going to whisk all 64 00:03:11,733 --> 00:03:13,613 Speaker 3: of that together, and then add in two and a 65 00:03:13,693 --> 00:03:17,053 Speaker 3: quarter cups of plain flour and one teaspoon of baking powder, 66 00:03:17,413 --> 00:03:20,213 Speaker 3: half a teaspoon of salt, and half a cup of 67 00:03:20,333 --> 00:03:22,173 Speaker 3: sugar in there, so we've got all the kind of 68 00:03:22,213 --> 00:03:25,453 Speaker 3: basic elements. Stir that until it's all kind of incorporated, 69 00:03:25,493 --> 00:03:28,293 Speaker 3: and then I say, fold in but an actual fact 70 00:03:28,653 --> 00:03:30,453 Speaker 3: and half a cup of brown sugar. Sorry, I've got 71 00:03:30,573 --> 00:03:33,173 Speaker 3: half and half there. And then we're going to fold 72 00:03:33,213 --> 00:03:36,573 Speaker 3: through that about half a cup of roasted almonds that 73 00:03:36,613 --> 00:03:40,333 Speaker 3: I've roughly chopped, half a cup of shelled pistachios. You 74 00:03:40,373 --> 00:03:42,973 Speaker 3: get that lovely green in there for Christmas, and then 75 00:03:43,053 --> 00:03:45,533 Speaker 3: quarter it to a half a cup of dried cranberriese. 76 00:03:45,693 --> 00:03:47,933 Speaker 3: And again we're looking for Christmas here. So red and 77 00:03:47,933 --> 00:03:50,653 Speaker 3: green kind of really says that. Mix that through your 78 00:03:50,733 --> 00:03:53,733 Speaker 3: dough mixture, divide the dough and half jack and then 79 00:03:53,773 --> 00:03:56,293 Speaker 3: place each half on a line on that line tray, 80 00:03:56,533 --> 00:03:58,293 Speaker 3: and then using sort of you know, damp in your 81 00:03:58,293 --> 00:04:00,893 Speaker 3: hands or your fingers, shape it into a nice log 82 00:04:01,013 --> 00:04:04,253 Speaker 3: shape out four centimeters will probably about a thirty centimeter 83 00:04:04,333 --> 00:04:08,293 Speaker 3: long log flat slightly and bake it for thirty to 84 00:04:08,333 --> 00:04:11,533 Speaker 3: thirty five minutes till it's gold and brown. Should be 85 00:04:11,573 --> 00:04:14,013 Speaker 3: hard on the outside, but have a little bit of 86 00:04:14,053 --> 00:04:16,613 Speaker 3: given the middle. Let it cool down completely, and then 87 00:04:16,653 --> 00:04:19,693 Speaker 3: with a really sharp serrated knife, slice it on an 88 00:04:19,693 --> 00:04:23,213 Speaker 3: angle into about thicknesses of about one point five thick. 89 00:04:23,893 --> 00:04:26,293 Speaker 3: Place those back on the tray and bake them off 90 00:04:26,333 --> 00:04:29,413 Speaker 3: again for another twelve to sixteen minutes. They should be 91 00:04:29,493 --> 00:04:32,773 Speaker 3: firm all the way through. Remember things firm up even 92 00:04:32,813 --> 00:04:35,573 Speaker 3: more when they're cooled, so you've got to cool that. 93 00:04:35,733 --> 00:04:39,573 Speaker 3: And there you've got your beautiful homemade for Scotty. Place them, 94 00:04:40,133 --> 00:04:42,693 Speaker 3: you know, once they're ready called, place them in jars 95 00:04:42,853 --> 00:04:45,053 Speaker 3: little boxes, Wrap them with a bit of ribbon, put 96 00:04:45,093 --> 00:04:47,453 Speaker 3: a little bit of rosemary on them, maybe some bay 97 00:04:47,533 --> 00:04:49,813 Speaker 3: leaves or something like that for a bit of Christmas eve.
