1 00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:08,160 Speaker 1: Hi, everybody. I'm Kelsey Nixon and this is Kitchen Prescription, 2 00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:10,440 Speaker 1: the podcast you listened to when you don't know what 3 00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:13,560 Speaker 1: to make for dinner. Today's episode one hundred and fifteen, 4 00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:17,720 Speaker 1: five tools I can't live without in my kitchen. It's 5 00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:21,680 Speaker 1: been a week over here. I hope your week has 6 00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:25,079 Speaker 1: been a bit more stable than mine. The good news 7 00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:28,080 Speaker 1: is that I spent a few days in Cabo Cabo 8 00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:31,960 Speaker 1: San Lucas in Mexico. I had the best time with 9 00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:34,920 Speaker 1: a group of friends from college. We all turned forty 10 00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:39,080 Speaker 1: this year, and it was just truly so beautiful, and 11 00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,680 Speaker 1: we ate such good food, and we caught up and 12 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:48,720 Speaker 1: it was so much fun. But then something happened. I 13 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:54,320 Speaker 1: went from one extreme truly. I literally saw whales breaching 14 00:00:54,360 --> 00:01:00,480 Speaker 1: in the ocean on Friday, and by Saturday after after noon, 15 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 1: I was home and I had come home to something 16 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 1: that I'd hoped i'd never come home to, and that, 17 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 1: my friends, is lice. I know this is a food 18 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,520 Speaker 1: podcast and we should never ever discuss something so gross, 19 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,119 Speaker 1: but I feel like I've just recently joined a club 20 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 1: one of solidarity, where if you haven't experienced lice, you 21 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,679 Speaker 1: don't really understand just how awful. It is, and if 22 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 1: you have, you are willing to bear witness to anyone's 23 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:34,200 Speaker 1: experience with it. So it was a crummy return home. 24 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 1: Re Entry has been rough. Very happy to see my kids. 25 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,480 Speaker 1: Just wish I was seeing my kids without lice. January 26 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,480 Speaker 1: It's going to go down January twenty twenty five in 27 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 1: the medical history books. For my personal family, we have 28 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 1: had just this month, a hairline fracture, two root canals 29 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 1: for my eight year old technically polpotomies but yeah to 30 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 1: eight two two Nora virus for all of us can 31 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 1: gots out. A terrible case of the flu for my 32 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 1: twelve year old son, Ali, who had a super scary 33 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 1: complication where he wasn't able to walk for a few days. 34 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,800 Speaker 1: You may be seeing some stuff going on. It's been 35 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 1: posted on Instagram and TikTok of how these kids can't 36 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 1: walk after they've had Anyways, Luckily he can walk again. 37 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 1: He's recovered. But that was very scary, and now lice. 38 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 1: So we are hanging on by a thread. But we 39 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 1: are still hanging and we will get through it. So 40 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: here is to a healthy February. Thanks for letting me 41 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,399 Speaker 1: just kind of complain a bit I'm on day two 42 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,519 Speaker 1: of life, so anything could happen. Guys, all right, I 43 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 1: always like to do just a bit of an inventory 44 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 1: on my kitchen. We're switching gears now, and our episode 45 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,919 Speaker 1: last week about building a better kitchen this year kind 46 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 1: of laid that out nicely. But today I'm excited to 47 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,919 Speaker 1: get a bit more granular and talk about the five 48 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 1: tools I sincerely could not live without in my kitchen. 49 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,839 Speaker 1: But before we do that, let's get into a few 50 00:02:57,919 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 1: rescue ideas you could potentially throw on your meal plan 51 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,520 Speaker 1: for the week, because we all know that deciding what 52 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 1: to make for dinner is the hardest part of making dinner. 53 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: First up, Greek chicken couscous salad. This is for a 54 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 1: such a great recipe if you're wanting to meal prep 55 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 1: at all, meaning you can make all of the components 56 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 1: in advance and then pull it together for either lunches 57 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: or dinners. We did this at dinner in my house 58 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:26,519 Speaker 1: because my kids really like Israeli or pearled couscouse. They 59 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 1: just eat that up like rice, and then I will 60 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 1: sometimes I'll grill the chicken. Sometimes I will just use 61 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 1: a rotisserie chicken. It just depends on my bandwidth for 62 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 1: the week. But it's a really easy recipe to deconstruct, 63 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 1: and it's fresh and light, and it's just a good 64 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 1: contrast to some of the other more hardy comfort foods 65 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 1: we've been having. And I make it set zeki sauce 66 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 1: to go with it. That's so yummy, and I'm excited 67 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 1: to have this. We haven't had it in a bit 68 00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 1: and it just sounds so good to me. On the 69 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 1: flip side, on the other side of that, we have 70 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 1: Keeso chicken chili on the menu, and I am so excited. 71 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 1: Super Bowl Sunday is just around the corner. And if 72 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 1: you only make one thing for Super Bowl Sunday, let 73 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 1: it be this caso chicken chili. It is next level delicious. 74 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,359 Speaker 1: I mean, we eat it like bowls of chili, but 75 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 1: you could literally make this and just dip tortilla chips 76 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 1: in it and it would be fire like, so so 77 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,799 Speaker 1: so so so good. So Kiso chicken chili. It's happening. 78 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 1: I'm so excited. And then this next month in Recipe Club, 79 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,480 Speaker 1: we are doing a lot of slow cooker recipes. We 80 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 1: are really going to help our members build out kind 81 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 1: of their slow cooker libraries when it comes to easy 82 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 1: slow cooker recipes that they can turn to. Everyone should 83 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 1: have like five to ten slow cooker recipes that can 84 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:54,839 Speaker 1: just come and clutch for them. And so you are 85 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,159 Speaker 1: really making an effort to offer that. Whether you are 86 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 1: a vegetarian, whether you're gluten free, whatever it may be, 87 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:05,600 Speaker 1: everyone needs a couple of like dumpinster recipes. So this 88 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:07,279 Speaker 1: is a new recipe we've just added to your Recipe 89 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 1: Club slow cooker veggie lasagna. And I gotta say it 90 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 1: was a bit skeptical and I was developing this recipe, 91 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 1: but I'd seen a couple of people talk about it 92 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 1: and it was actually awesome. It turned out so good, 93 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,599 Speaker 1: and it was so much easier than the traditional method. 94 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 1: It cooked great, the leftovers were great. My kids ate 95 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 1: it and it was choc fol of vegetables. Don't tell 96 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 1: them it was awesome. So we're having that again. I 97 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 1: tested that a few weeks ago, and I'm going to 98 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 1: make it again. All right. There are your recipes for 99 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,720 Speaker 1: the week. You can find and print them all in 100 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,840 Speaker 1: Recipe Club individually or in our weekly meal plan where 101 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:42,480 Speaker 1: we have an easy to follow a shopping list where 102 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 1: it's broken down by Recipe. Remember, the Recipe Club is 103 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 1: this resource that really allows you to access family tested, 104 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 1: quick and simple recipes on the internet without having to 105 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 1: be bombarded with banner ads, long blog posts, or drawn 106 00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 1: out stories. That was the thing that was so frustrating 107 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 1: to me for years as I was accessing recipes online, 108 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 1: and so I very intentionally created a space to try 109 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:12,279 Speaker 1: and make recipe access easier and more seamless where you 110 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 1: weren't dealing with all those pop ups. And for just 111 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:17,840 Speaker 1: a few more days the month of January, we are 112 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 1: discounting our annual membership by twenty five percent for twenty 113 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 1: twenty five and that makes Recipe Club just barely more 114 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 1: than a dollar per week for the whole year. Like, 115 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,799 Speaker 1: you can't afford to not have someone help you decide 116 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 1: what to make for dinner. It's such a good investment 117 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 1: to help you establish a simple dinner system you can 118 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,599 Speaker 1: rely on, and really having kind of like a team 119 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 1: behind you to say that's okay, you fell off the 120 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,359 Speaker 1: wagon last week, you didn't really make dinner, no problem, 121 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:47,599 Speaker 1: here's some ideas for dinner this week. And I'm just 122 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 1: so proud of anyways. I love it. I couldn't live 123 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 1: without it. I love it so well worth that dollar 124 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 1: plus a week if you ask me. All right, let's 125 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 1: jump into the back half of the podcast and discuss 126 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:02,279 Speaker 1: those five tools I truly could not live without in 127 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 1: my kitchen. Every time I head to the kitchen to 128 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 1: make a meal, I can almost guarantee that there are 129 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 1: certain items I'm going to reach for. These items are 130 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 1: what I would call foundational to my kitchen, and if 131 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 1: you took them away, I'd be lost. And I can 132 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 1: speak to that specifically because we'll talk about it. None 133 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 1: of them are super fancy. In fact, they're all pretty basic. 134 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 1: But I thought it would be a good idea to 135 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 1: go over these life savers in the kitchen and a 136 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 1: great time to kind of take inventory of the basics 137 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 1: at the beginning of the year to make sure you 138 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 1: are setting yourself up to make cooking dinner as easy 139 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,240 Speaker 1: as possible for the year. So some of these are 140 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 1: gonna be really obvious, but I'm going to try and 141 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 1: provide some insight that might not be as obvious, and 142 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 1: we'll go from there. So first, the most foundational thing 143 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 1: to my kitchen is a good knife. And you know, 144 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 1: chances are if I'm cooking dinner I'm cutting something, and 145 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 1: owning a sharp knife that feels comfortable in your hands 146 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 1: can make a world of a difference. In fact, one 147 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 1: of my first jobs out of college and culinary school 148 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 1: was teaching a knife skills class at sir La Toab. 149 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 1: I did this for years. I loved teaching these classes 150 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 1: because not only do we make delicious recipes together like 151 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 1: French onion soup and chopped cob salad where where you're 152 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 1: just slicing and dicing a bunch of veggies, but it 153 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,600 Speaker 1: was also just there was just this fun teaching element 154 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 1: to educating people on what was and wasn't important when 155 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 1: it came to owning and using a knife. So here's 156 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,200 Speaker 1: my best advice. The most important thing is focus on 157 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 1: having a sharp knife that feels good in your hand 158 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:51,440 Speaker 1: versus some super fancy, expensive brand. Taking a knife skills 159 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 1: is actually a great way to try a few different knives, 160 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 1: Like if you were to go take a class at 161 00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,199 Speaker 1: William Snowmer a Serla tab or you're like your local 162 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,320 Speaker 1: cooking store, that way you could slice and thence with 163 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 1: a bunch of different knives because they do feel different 164 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 1: and it's not only the weight, but it's also the size, 165 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 1: Like you've heard me talk about this before, but I 166 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 1: have really small hands, and so a traditional like chef's knife, 167 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 1: like an everyday knife would be probably between eight and 168 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,440 Speaker 1: ten inches at least maybe ten to twelve, like a 169 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 1: lot of men are probably using a twelve inch knife. 170 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 1: I like a five and a half inch knife, which 171 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 1: is a baby knife, like, but I love it because 172 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 1: I have so much control over it. So ninety percent 173 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,959 Speaker 1: of what I cut is with that baby five and 174 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 1: a half inch Santoku knife, which means it's got the 175 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,760 Speaker 1: little divots in it so that the veggies slide off 176 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:45,680 Speaker 1: the blade very easily. I love my Woostaff knife, and 177 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:50,320 Speaker 1: Woostaff definitely is a very respected, nice brand. But if 178 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 1: you put a dull Woostoff or Shoon or Globe knife 179 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 1: in front of me, a dull one, and you put 180 00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:01,600 Speaker 1: a sharp target knife in front of me, like just 181 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 1: target branded, I would pick the sharp knife every single time. 182 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 1: And I share that because I think it's so important 183 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,080 Speaker 1: for you to know that your knives need to be sharp, 184 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 1: and the reason they should be sharp is a it's safer. 185 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:17,439 Speaker 1: It seems a little counterintuitive, but a sharp knife is 186 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 1: a safe knife, and it's easier. It's so much easier 187 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,680 Speaker 1: to slice and dice things. I'm convinced cooking goes faster, 188 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 1: it's more seamless, it's more enjoyable. You deserve a sharp 189 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,080 Speaker 1: knife now if you're like, Okay, but wait, I have 190 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:36,559 Speaker 1: one of those nice knives. I got a hankle knife 191 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 1: for my wedding. I got the whole set, but it 192 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,959 Speaker 1: is dull. You have a couple of options. You can 193 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 1: take it in to one of these stores, Sirla, tab Williams, 194 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:48,960 Speaker 1: so Noma, even your local hardware store, and you can 195 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,040 Speaker 1: have them sharpen. It's usually a dollar an inch, so 196 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:56,600 Speaker 1: it's gonna cost you ten bucks. Maybe do that. Or 197 00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 1: you can buy an at home sharpener. And I used 198 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 1: to be really against these be because you don't want 199 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 1: to damage a knife, but they've gotten much better at 200 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,080 Speaker 1: these Like you could use a wetstone, which is like 201 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 1: at the traditional way of sharpening a knife that I 202 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,960 Speaker 1: learned in culinary school. But I have found an electric 203 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:15,320 Speaker 1: sharpener that I actually really like and has been good 204 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 1: to my knives. It has not been too hard on 205 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 1: my knives, and so I will make sure you guys 206 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,440 Speaker 1: get a link to that. Both in the Gimme five 207 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 1: post on my blog at Kelsey Nixon dot com and 208 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:28,559 Speaker 1: in our email that goes out this week. But it's 209 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,679 Speaker 1: a really really good product. So don't go buy a 210 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 1: new nice knife. If you have a crappy like Walmart knife, yes, 211 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,080 Speaker 1: maybe invest in a nice knife. But if you've got 212 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,199 Speaker 1: a good brand. This is what I think most people have. 213 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 1: They have a good knife that's just dull. Sharpen your knife. 214 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,840 Speaker 1: It will make things better, I promise. Okay, second goes 215 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 1: hand in hand a cutting board. Another thing you've probably 216 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 1: heard me say before is I think most people are 217 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,080 Speaker 1: using cutting boards that are too small. I think having 218 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:03,080 Speaker 1: a nice, big cutting board with a large work surface 219 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,320 Speaker 1: makes dinner easier. You want to think about how you're 220 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,760 Speaker 1: gonna use it, and look, I have cutting boards multiple sizes, 221 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,720 Speaker 1: but I do like having a big cutting board for 222 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,720 Speaker 1: preparing dinner. It's much harder to try and cut something 223 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 1: on a teeny tiny little board that just slip sides around. 224 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,439 Speaker 1: So there's a couple of things I look for A 225 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:24,320 Speaker 1: because I don't always keep my board out. I want 226 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 1: my board to not be too heavy. I love like 227 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:31,320 Speaker 1: a traditional, big, thick booze board, but honestly, for this 228 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 1: chapter of life where I'm cooking so much and I've 229 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 1: got so many things in and out of cabinets and cupboards, 230 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 1: I like having the thinner epicurean boards, which are made 231 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 1: of a wood composit. I love this brand. I've loved 232 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 1: this brand for years. They can go on the dishwasher, 233 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,200 Speaker 1: although I usually just hand wash mine, and they have 234 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:52,600 Speaker 1: little feet on them, little silicone feet so they don't 235 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 1: slide around. Just a great product. So get yourself a 236 00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,720 Speaker 1: good cutting board. Think about if it's important to you 237 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:00,959 Speaker 1: that it can go in the washer. I think about where 238 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,199 Speaker 1: you're gonna store it. I do like having a separate 239 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 1: board for fruits, veggies, everything else, and then protein, like 240 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 1: if I'm cutting raw meat, and for that I use 241 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,840 Speaker 1: what's called the gel board. It's more like a plastic board. 242 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 1: I have two. I have one from Material Kitchen that 243 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 1: is awesome, and I have one from Oxo that is 244 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 1: like clear, it's got black on the sides. Anyways, it's 245 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,720 Speaker 1: also it's also great. They're both fine, But I do 246 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 1: like having a separate protein board. Okay, you know where 247 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:31,680 Speaker 1: else you're gonna find links to all of this stuff, 248 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 1: you guys, is in Recipe Club. There is a tap 249 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 1: that says my kitchen, and I go through every single 250 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,680 Speaker 1: space in my kitchen, like every cupboard, every drawer, and 251 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,679 Speaker 1: I have taken pictures of everything and linked it all. 252 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 1: So if you are wanting more resources like this, recipe 253 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 1: Club is a great place to find all of those. Okay, 254 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:51,680 Speaker 1: we'll talked about a knife, we talked about a cutting board. 255 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 1: Now let's talk about my stove top setup. Obviously, I'm 256 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:56,720 Speaker 1: doing a lot of cooking at the stove and I 257 00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 1: have this little gold tray and it's got a couple 258 00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:03,840 Speaker 1: things on it, and I am lost when these things disappear. First, 259 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:07,200 Speaker 1: a salt cellar or pig. Now, we talked about this 260 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,480 Speaker 1: a couple weeks ago on here, but I updated my 261 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 1: salt cellar, which really was just like a small ceramic 262 00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:16,840 Speaker 1: bowl to a French salt pig. And it's just called 263 00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 1: that because of the shape of it. It kind of looks 264 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 1: like a pig's nose. I guess if that's what we're 265 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 1: going for. But it's not pink, it doesn't have a 266 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 1: curly tail. It's very classic looking and I intend to 267 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 1: have it for a very long time. The reason I 268 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 1: got or I upgraded to the salt pig is because 269 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 1: it's bigger, it holds more salt, and it's really easy 270 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 1: to get my hand in and out of there. My 271 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:39,160 Speaker 1: sisters had one for years. I finally caved and got one, 272 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 1: and I love it. I absolutely love it. The reason 273 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 1: you want that there is you want easy access to 274 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,960 Speaker 1: good cooking salt. We are not using iodized salt anymore. 275 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 1: You are not using salt out of a shaker. You 276 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 1: are going to be the chef that you are in 277 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,360 Speaker 1: your home and you are going to pinch salt as 278 00:14:56,400 --> 00:15:00,040 Speaker 1: you cook. It's gonna feel great, I promise I. I 279 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,160 Speaker 1: am a big fan of kosher salt. I exclusively use 280 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,560 Speaker 1: kosher salt except for when I'm using finishing salts for 281 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 1: things like freshly made bread that's been buttered and I 282 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 1: want to finish with a little gray French salt or 283 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 1: flaky sea salt. But for most of my cooking and 284 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 1: baking I use I use Morton Kosher salt. Morton and 285 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 1: Diamond Kosher Salt are the two big players, and I 286 00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 1: would actually it's funny. I think more people on the 287 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 1: West Coast use Morton salt, and more people on the 288 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 1: East Coast. Use diamond seas are diamond kosher salt. They're 289 00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 1: fine either way. Diamond has like more varied texture and shapes, 290 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,280 Speaker 1: but don't worry about it. Just use kosher salt. What 291 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,560 Speaker 1: everyone you can find fourth to go hand in hand 292 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 1: with my salt cellar as a spice grinder or a 293 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:51,280 Speaker 1: pepper grinder. Cracked black pepper from a pepper grinder makes 294 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 1: a huge difference in everyday cooking. And same thing. You're 295 00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 1: better than shaking pepper out of a little jar. Get 296 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,240 Speaker 1: yourself a grinder. You are gonna love it. I get 297 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,360 Speaker 1: my black peppercorns at Costco, but you can really get 298 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 1: them at any store. This is the element where there's 299 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:09,520 Speaker 1: a bit of a story. And I think I mentioned 300 00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:12,040 Speaker 1: it last week on the podcast, so forgive me. But 301 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 1: I had a pepper grinder that I bought two or 302 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,240 Speaker 1: three years ago that literally cost ten dollars on Amazon. 303 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 1: It was wood. It's pretty like the way I look. 304 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:23,400 Speaker 1: I needed a quick solve and it was a quick 305 00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 1: solve and it gave me three good years awesome, and 306 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,920 Speaker 1: it finally broke. It fell and it broke, so I 307 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,040 Speaker 1: needed a new one, and I decided to invest in 308 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 1: a more classic brand, So instead of spending ten dollars, 309 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 1: I spent forty dollars and I believe the brand is 310 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:46,280 Speaker 1: Poge Peu Got. I don't speak French, forgive me. It's 311 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 1: so much better than my ten dollars one and well 312 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,040 Speaker 1: worth the investment. So if you are looking to get 313 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:55,480 Speaker 1: yourself a stove top setup, I recommend the salt pig 314 00:16:56,120 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 1: and a good quality spice grinder or pepper grinder. I 315 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 1: spend forty dollars, so it's not like I spent. You 316 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:05,119 Speaker 1: don't need to spend tons of money, but a good 317 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 1: classic brand I think will go a long way. Then 318 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 1: the last thing are olive and avocado oil dispensers. I 319 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:17,200 Speaker 1: use olive oil and avocado oil every single day, depends 320 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,680 Speaker 1: on what I'm cooking. Like we did potstickers for lunch, 321 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:21,720 Speaker 1: and I used avocado oil because it has a higher 322 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 1: smoke point and I was doing Asian cooking, so I 323 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:28,520 Speaker 1: didn't need that olive undertone for flavor. But I'm probably 324 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:31,720 Speaker 1: using olive oil most often. So I have this awesome 325 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:37,359 Speaker 1: dispenser set from Amazon and that sits there. But the 326 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 1: thing I really love that sits next to it is 327 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 1: my oil sprayer. Not the first time you've heard me 328 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,320 Speaker 1: talk about this either, Guys. It's a good thing that 329 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:47,679 Speaker 1: I talk about things multiple times because it means that 330 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,280 Speaker 1: I have been using them for years because they work. 331 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:55,280 Speaker 1: This olive oil sprayer is particularly a favorite during the 332 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 1: winter months when I'm doing more roasted things. I have 333 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:02,240 Speaker 1: tried a few of them. If you go cheap, sometimes 334 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,680 Speaker 1: they get clogged and they're not as easy to use. 335 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,600 Speaker 1: I have the brand that is ev Oh, and it 336 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,480 Speaker 1: is like a dark green and you just put your 337 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 1: favorite olive oil in it. I use the Kirkland olive oil. 338 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,840 Speaker 1: And you can spray vegetables evenly. You can spray breads, 339 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:21,040 Speaker 1: you can spray. It's just a really great way to 340 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:24,440 Speaker 1: get a nice, even coating of olive oil on whatever 341 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:28,160 Speaker 1: it is you're cooking, to give you even crisping and browning. 342 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 1: My mom put it in my stocking a few years ago. 343 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:32,880 Speaker 1: I had no idea I'd love it so much, and 344 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 1: boy do I love it. I just took it to 345 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:39,680 Speaker 1: a Favorite Things party, like it's so great. So it 346 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:41,600 Speaker 1: also sits there because I use Oh. The other thing 347 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 1: that's great for is seasoning greens. You're making a salad, 348 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:45,920 Speaker 1: and you don't want to do a heavy dressing, but 349 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,040 Speaker 1: you want to just do like some olive oil and 350 00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,520 Speaker 1: a lemon juice. You just spray it on the leaves 351 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,840 Speaker 1: and it's perfect. It's perfect. All right. There you have it. 352 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 1: Those are five things I cannot live without. A sharp knife, 353 00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:00,920 Speaker 1: a big cutting board, a salt pig, a spice grinder, 354 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:07,000 Speaker 1: and my oil dispensers inclusive of my sprayer. There you 355 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 1: have it. If you don't have them, treat yourself to it. 356 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,360 Speaker 1: I promise all of those things will make dinner easier. 357 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 1: All right. Finally, let's finish with my weekly give me five, 358 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,120 Speaker 1: so five things that made my life easier are more 359 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:21,560 Speaker 1: enjoyable this week. Let's start in the kitchen. I have 360 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:23,359 Speaker 1: had a kitchen iam, I've had my eye on for 361 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 1: a long time, and after attending two friends house recently 362 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,240 Speaker 1: where they had them, I was like, I'm just gonna 363 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,280 Speaker 1: do it. I want one of these. It is the 364 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 1: our Place griddle pan, and it looks like the size 365 00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,720 Speaker 1: of a sheet pan, but it's got handles and kind 366 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,480 Speaker 1: of a sloped side and you can use it for 367 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:46,199 Speaker 1: everything from baking cookies to doing sheep pan dinners. I 368 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,000 Speaker 1: just love the shape. I love the shape. I love 369 00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,480 Speaker 1: the look. I just got it, so I haven't used 370 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 1: it a ton yet, but I have no doubt that 371 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 1: I'm going to like it because everyone I know that 372 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 1: has one rapes about it. Absolutely. It's nonstick with that 373 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,199 Speaker 1: serram coding, so everything's gonna come off of it nicely. 374 00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 1: Very excited. I got the spice color and I can't 375 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:10,760 Speaker 1: wait to start using that in the kitchen. Okay, next you, 376 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,680 Speaker 1: let's do this Valentine's Day sweater. I am wearing it today. 377 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:16,879 Speaker 1: It is red, it is fun. It was also my 378 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:21,160 Speaker 1: Christmas sweater. I am intentionally trying to buy less clothes 379 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:24,159 Speaker 1: and buy clothes that are part of a capsule wardrobe. 380 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 1: I know that feels like a buzzy word, but really 381 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:30,880 Speaker 1: just classics. So instead of buying the heart sweater at 382 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,719 Speaker 1: Target that has little hearts on it that's so cute 383 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:37,119 Speaker 1: that I will feel weird wearing after February fourteenth, I 384 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:39,920 Speaker 1: bought a very nice red sweater that I can wear 385 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,360 Speaker 1: over and over again and for Christmas and Valentine's Day. 386 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:47,440 Speaker 1: And it comes from Seeszon Seyson. I love it. It's 387 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 1: got big buttons, makes me happy. It's cozy, it's cute, 388 00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:54,720 Speaker 1: fun color red, and it is my Valentine's Day sweater. 389 00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 1: Now let's talk about my vacation. So I mentioned I 390 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:00,960 Speaker 1: went to Cabo and I had so much fun. Last 391 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,639 Speaker 1: week I shared my vacation wardrobe with you, kind of 392 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:07,000 Speaker 1: how I was putting together that vacation capsule wardrobe. And 393 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 1: after being on vacation for three days, two things that 394 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:14,479 Speaker 1: stood out for me. First of all, I had a 395 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:16,720 Speaker 1: pair I bought a pair of sunglasses that were more 396 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 1: expensive than the twelve dollars sunglasses I usually wear from Amazon, 397 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 1: but still only fifty dollars, which feels like a very 398 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 1: reasonable amount to spend on sunglasses. And I wanted to 399 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:30,879 Speaker 1: tell you that there's not really a difference and that 400 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:34,040 Speaker 1: I enjoyed the Amazon twelve dollars sunglasses as much as 401 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 1: I the other ones, but it's that's not the case. 402 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:40,480 Speaker 1: I loved these sunglasses. I kind of was like, uh, oh, 403 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:42,920 Speaker 1: I might have to break up with my twelve dollars sunglasses. 404 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:47,240 Speaker 1: They're so great, the style is writer and they're from Quints, 405 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,240 Speaker 1: and I'm so glad I bought them, especially because I 406 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,239 Speaker 1: have a few more vacations this year and I'm going 407 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:53,919 Speaker 1: to get really good use out of them. So the 408 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:58,200 Speaker 1: Quints Writer sunglasses huge hit. Another thing that was a 409 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 1: hit is the older I get, the more I am 410 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:06,920 Speaker 1: aware of being protected by the sun, avoiding sunspots, wearing 411 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,639 Speaker 1: more sunscreen. But I want to feel confident in a swimsuit, 412 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 1: meaning I would like a little color on my skin, 413 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:16,840 Speaker 1: so I'd like a tan. So after much trial and error, 414 00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:20,560 Speaker 1: I have developed a self tanning system at home. I 415 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:24,119 Speaker 1: laugh because that sounds so ridiculous, but basically, I have 416 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,000 Speaker 1: nailed down the products I like to use for self tanning, 417 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,399 Speaker 1: and it's perfect. It's a great system. And I actually 418 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,119 Speaker 1: created a little list for you in Amazon. Because it 419 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:34,800 Speaker 1: is a couple of products. You don't have to use 420 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:36,840 Speaker 1: all of them. But I will very quickly tell you 421 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,480 Speaker 1: I do this once a week when I'm either going 422 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,360 Speaker 1: on vacation or in the summer, and once every two 423 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:47,719 Speaker 1: weeks the rest of the year. I do in everything shower, 424 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:53,119 Speaker 1: and in that everything shower I use the way we 425 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:56,359 Speaker 1: I don't know, guys, oh you ai. You know that 426 00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,639 Speaker 1: fancy brand by the hairdresser of Kim Kardashian. They have 427 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:02,960 Speaker 1: a body scrub. It smells Divine. I use that body 428 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,639 Speaker 1: scrub to kind of get off any flakiness, right. I 429 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,160 Speaker 1: exfoliate with it, and when I get out, I use 430 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:11,879 Speaker 1: my favorite sunless tanning foam, which is called Bondi Sands. 431 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,160 Speaker 1: It's got over forty I think it's close to forty 432 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:17,439 Speaker 1: thousand reviews on Amazon. Comes with a mitt. It's the 433 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:20,360 Speaker 1: least offensive when it comes to smelling. It looks natural. 434 00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:24,119 Speaker 1: Been using it for years. It's the best that's gonna 435 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:28,560 Speaker 1: look like a serious tan. But if you like to 436 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:30,399 Speaker 1: be in and out of the water on vacation, or 437 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:32,199 Speaker 1: you live in a beach community like I do, and 438 00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,160 Speaker 1: you're in and out of the water, you don't want 439 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:37,000 Speaker 1: that tan to fade very fast. So you got to 440 00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:43,160 Speaker 1: use the Jurgens Daily Ferming natural glow lotion every day. 441 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:45,400 Speaker 1: So you're gonna take your shower and you're just gonna 442 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:47,600 Speaker 1: put that on in between. It does not smell weird. 443 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 1: It really does help you maintain your tan for one 444 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,359 Speaker 1: to two weeks so that you don't have to constantly 445 00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:59,080 Speaker 1: be retanning. That's that. And I have these tanning drops 446 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,520 Speaker 1: that I like to put in my moisturizer for my face, 447 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 1: and that just gives my face a little bit of 448 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,440 Speaker 1: a glow. So I put that all in one place 449 00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:10,480 Speaker 1: for you. Because lots of talk with a group of 450 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,040 Speaker 1: four year old women who are like, we got to 451 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 1: protect our skin from the sun, and I said, we 452 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 1: all need to be some you know, sunless tanning. So 453 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:21,680 Speaker 1: there's that. Okay, last, oh, I'm sorry to even tell 454 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,840 Speaker 1: you guys this, but it's just it has consumed my mind. 455 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:28,719 Speaker 1: The last thing I might give me five list is 456 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:32,080 Speaker 1: a space on the internet I found called My Life's 457 00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 1: Advice and this is what I learned. I learned so 458 00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:38,680 Speaker 1: I have a PhD In lice now, but this is 459 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:42,000 Speaker 1: what I've learned about it. Everyone who's had an experience 460 00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 1: with lice wants to tell you what they did to 461 00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:47,440 Speaker 1: get rid of it, and they are going to tell 462 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:52,520 Speaker 1: you wildly different things, everything from soaking hair in a 463 00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:57,960 Speaker 1: yellow listreine to going to a professional. We're going to 464 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,639 Speaker 1: spend two hundred and fifty dollars ahead everyone in your 465 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:04,040 Speaker 1: family to have lice combed out of their hair. To 466 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:10,199 Speaker 1: hot air from a blow dryer and flat irons, to 467 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:16,520 Speaker 1: over the counter shampoos to like it's I cannot it's laughable. 468 00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:21,280 Speaker 1: How many suggestions I have received. I went to YouTube 469 00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:23,399 Speaker 1: looking for a simple video to make sure I was 470 00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:27,120 Speaker 1: pulling things out correctly, and I found this person.

Every question I had had she has 474 00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:47,160 Speaker 1: answered in a video and she actually walked you through. Anyways. 475 00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:50,640 Speaker 1: This is where I would tell anybody to go because 476 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 1: you're gonna get so many different opinions from people. I 477 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:56,200 Speaker 1: was ready to begin soaking my daughter's hair in olive 478 00:25:56,200 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 1: oil every single night for two weeks and never saying 479 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:01,840 Speaker 1: when never I might do that. I don't know. But 480 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,520 Speaker 1: really what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna stick to 481 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:09,480 Speaker 1: the nurse with My Life's Advice, and she has made 482 00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:12,280 Speaker 1: a very difficult week a little easier because I trust 483 00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:14,680 Speaker 1: her information and it can be one spot I go 484 00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:20,000 Speaker 1: as I work my way through this.
