So fingers crossed. 19 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 2: Cozy time is a good time. 20 00:00:57,840 --> 00:00:58,080 Speaker 1: I know. 21 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 2: Today is Valentine's Day. We just got a new couch, 22 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:07,120 Speaker 2: which sounds like super I don't know, extravagant maybe, but 23 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 2: it's it's. 24 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:10,760 Speaker 1: Not it's not the slightest. 25 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:14,399 Speaker 2: I think we were still on the couch from my 26 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:18,959 Speaker 2: old apartment in my single days, so it's gotta be 27 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 2: twenty five years old at least. And but it's the 28 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 2: only couch. My son Max is known, so he's like 29 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:31,039 Speaker 2: what he doesn't like, change what? And I'm well, now 30 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:34,400 Speaker 2: it'll be great. So we, uh, where'd we go? We 31 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 2: went a bunch of places, looked around, found this disc 32 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 2: very inexpensive but seems nice little couch, and we were 33 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,679 Speaker 2: all we were a family of three, and we were 34 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 2: all testing it out. 35 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 1: Last night, and it's like, how do we fit? How 36 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:50,640 Speaker 1: do we you know? 37 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 2: Because the other one was not super wide, and so 38 00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 2: I always would walk in there, and if the two 39 00:01:57,920 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 2: of them were in there, it. 40 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 1: Was kind of hard to it. 41 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 2: Like nevermind because I don't know if you've noticed, but 42 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 2: I'm on the bigger side. 43 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 1: So anyway, so. 44 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,800 Speaker 2: We were doing that and tonight we did a little 45 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,359 Speaker 2: Valentine's celebration last night, a little bit this morning, and 46 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 2: then tonight we'll make. 47 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 1: A heart shaped pizza. 48 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 2: My wife's gonna whip that up, and we'll do some 49 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,800 Speaker 2: make some soft serve ice cream at the house and 50 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,800 Speaker 2: hang out and I hope you're enjoying yourself. We don't 51 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:29,360 Speaker 2: typically go out for Valentine's Day. It's as much as 52 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,080 Speaker 2: I support restaurants and say get out there, it's the 53 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 2: last thing I want to do on Valentine's Day or 54 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:38,519 Speaker 2: New Year's is go for amateur night. But if you 55 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:42,680 Speaker 2: are going out, have a great time, a little sad. 56 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,079 Speaker 2: So I thought, if you're going to be home, it 57 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:50,800 Speaker 2: makes something simple, especially if you're going to try and 58 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:55,920 Speaker 2: have some happy, happy time, a little adult time. And 59 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 2: what I mean by that is you're going to take 60 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 2: some time do your taxes together, you know, get those 61 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 2: receipts out, that type of thing. You're not gonna want 62 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 2: a full stomach because it's no seasy, it's no says, 63 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 2: it's no says. When you're your stomach's full. So I 64 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 2: know it's going to be strange because I'm going to 65 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,640 Speaker 2: recommend pasta. But listen, hear me out on this, because 66 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:19,640 Speaker 2: I know what you're thinking. You're pasta, Why don't you 67 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 2: just say make pancakes? Well, why don't we swallow bricks 68 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:28,360 Speaker 2: in our belly? But there is a dish at the 69 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 2: Anaheim White House that is an appetizer. I believe it's 70 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 2: a it's a it comes before your meal, you know 71 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 2: what an appetizer? 72 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 1: What hell am I saying? 73 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 2: But it's a trio of pasta and they're like three 74 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 2: little nests of pasta, And every time I enjoy it, 75 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 2: there I go. This is just like the perfect just 76 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 2: a dance of parade of flavor and textures. There's something 77 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 2: about that al denty toothiness of pasta, with just that 78 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 2: little softness on the outside, that tiny little bite on 79 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 2: the inside, that silky sultriness of the sauce that just 80 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 2: comes together. And then the things that you can put 81 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:19,720 Speaker 2: in there, maybe a little crunch, I don't know, if 82 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:23,479 Speaker 2: it's a little you know, pork or you know, a 83 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:27,840 Speaker 2: little beef or whatever it is, some veggies. There's something 84 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,559 Speaker 2: that's delightful to me about that. So what I'm gonna 85 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 2: recommend to you is to think about a little trio 86 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 2: of pasta, maybe a little garlic toast, a little something 87 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 2: where it's not one big heavy meal. It's just kind 88 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 2: of a little delight of bites for one another.

You know, usually I'll give like a 136 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 2: couple different ideas, but I'm focused on this. I love 137 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 2: a trio of pasta. Make it simple. We're not talking. 138 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 2: We're talking like, I don't know, two thirds cup of 139 00:07:56,440 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 2: a pasta, three little you know, just little nests. We'll 140 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 2: talk about steaks, Valentine's Steaks coming up a little bit later. 141 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 2: But I'm leading with technique of the week with pasta 142 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 2: and sauces because I just think that's a lovely easy 143 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 2: thing to do. I said this before over at the 144 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 2: Anaheim White House, and we love Bruno and his team there. 145 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 1: They have a. 146 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 2: Trio of pasta and it's just it's delightful. There's just 147 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 2: a there's something about the playfulness of three little nests 148 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 2: or piles of pasta that I think is lovely. So 149 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 2: I'm going to say go with, you know, try and 150 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 2: go with three different shades of pasta, sauce you go 151 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:42,960 Speaker 2: with a mortnee, that's a that's your cheese sauce. So 152 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 2: you want to do a pasta with a cheese sauce, 153 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 2: that's great. I would add some smoky elements to it, 154 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 2: maybe a light tiny bit of sausage in there or 155 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 2: bacon or something like that to add a little bit 156 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 2: of that, and that gives you that bright yellow or white. 157 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:00,840 Speaker 1: You're going to go with a. 158 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 2: Lighter sauce or a white cheese in there, and then 159 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,839 Speaker 2: you can go with your traditional red sauce like amaranara 160 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:13,479 Speaker 2: something like that, and you can do that with your spaghetti. 161 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 2: But also you can go to a white sauce or 162 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 2: you can go with a vodka sauce. When split the 163 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 2: difference there and you get this nice pinkage pinkish color. 164 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,720 Speaker 2: So those are the colors you have a little palate 165 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 2: to work with. It dances with the eyes and makes 166 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,720 Speaker 2: you yearn for what you're gonna eat before you even 167 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 2: touch it. The other things that you can add are 168 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 2: little crunchiness, some toasted bread crumbs. I like to put them. 169 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 2: If you're going to put this on the cheese sauce, 170 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 2: that's great, but it can go on any of these 171 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 2: that you just get some nice bulky of your bread crumbs. 172 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 2: You put them in with a little butter over me 173 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:04,599 Speaker 2: medium heat medium high heat on a skillet and just toast. 174 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 1: Them up a little bit. 175 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 2: Don't burn them, just toast them up a little bit, 176 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:09,679 Speaker 2: and you can spoon a little bit of those just 177 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 2: those crumbles on the top of one of the piles, 178 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,040 Speaker 2: or the little nest, and it's lovely. Making a nest 179 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 2: isn't very hard. You can put it into a tiny 180 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:21,559 Speaker 2: little bowl and twist it around with tongs and then 181 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 2: put it onto the plate. Continue to twist it. As 182 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:28,160 Speaker 2: you lightly remove the tongs from it. You should get 183 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 2: a nice little nest there that you can put something 184 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:34,240 Speaker 2: lovely or playful in the center of it, and it 185 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 2: makes for it nice. These are basically just ideas as 186 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 2: far as that the canned sauces will be getting into 187 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:42,560 Speaker 2: that a little bit. I'm going to tell you how 188 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,679 Speaker 2: the best one I think on the market is if 189 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 2: you're going to do a pizza or you're looking for 190 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 2: a maranara, and I'm going to tell you how to 191 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,959 Speaker 2: juj up some of these jarred sauces as well as 192 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 2: we'll get into the favorite what women statistically the steak 193 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 2: they like and the steak they typically order, and something 194 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 2: maybe romantical that will give you a steak and her steak, 195 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,440 Speaker 2: but something you can share coming up a little bit 196 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 2: later as well. 197 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:11,320 Speaker 1: So go nowhere. 198 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:20,679 Speaker 2: It's the Valentine's Day Edition, Valentintines, Valentine's Valentines, the edition 199 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:24,720 Speaker 2: of the Fork Report.
