And I mean, 14 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:52,320 Speaker 1: I mean, maybe there could be something else in the future. 15 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,319 Speaker 1: We just like puns, girl, but we might mess with you, 16 00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 1: but I think they're gonna be But I am looking 17 00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 1: forward to digging real deep, So no worries, right, I 18 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,959 Speaker 1: have I have some of the past title suggestions that 19 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 1: you've given me. Had to like like google around the 20 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 1: suggestion to figure out what what title you could possibly 21 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 1: be making a reference to because I didn't recognize it 22 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:22,959 Speaker 1: at all, and then invariably went on like a thirty 23 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 1: minute rabbit hole about whatever that title was about, because 24 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 1: I was like, how can I make some kind of 25 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 1: weird pun or reference to that in my title description? 26 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:38,840 Speaker 1: I love this teamwork, very convoluted and almost not teamwork, 27 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:44,760 Speaker 1: teamwork necessarily complicated. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean, I'm happy 28 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 1: to talk about Shadows of the Empire. If you ever 29 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 1: need any that into it, well, we'll meet up about 30 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 1: that later. Perfect, Yes, let's us get into this. A 31 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 1: mail starting with Sheldon, who wrote, here's me again, replying 32 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 1: to an old rebroadcast. One of the advantages of being 33 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,640 Speaker 1: old is that I don't remember listening to the original, 34 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 1: and it's all new to me again. Honestly, Yes, we've 35 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 1: talked before. We forget what episodes we've even done right 36 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 1: there with you, Sheldon continues, My computer tells me that 37 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 1: I did listen back then. Not really peanut butter, but 38 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,240 Speaker 1: the peanut. You can't talk about peanut butter without talking 39 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 1: about peanuts anyway. And this one is more for Annie, 40 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 1: since I felt guilty about leaving her in the background 41 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 1: with the bagel stuff. Do you know about the Santa 42 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:42,520 Speaker 1: Claus and the peanut. My father told me about this 43 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 1: over sixty years ago. I thought it was something that 44 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:47,920 Speaker 1: everyone knew, but everyone I talked to you about it 45 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 1: didn't know. Take a peanut and split it in half. 46 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 1: One of the halves will have that little nub in it. 47 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 1: Take that half and eat the other. Look at the 48 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,840 Speaker 1: little nub. It looks like Santa You can see his 49 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,800 Speaker 1: beard and hat, and the rest of the peanut is 50 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:09,080 Speaker 1: his large sack that's on his back. Huh. I can't 51 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 1: say I've heard in the shelter. Um. I'm fascinated by it, 52 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 1: and honestly, I'm having a little trouble envisioning it. So 53 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 1: I think I'm going to have to just do it. Yeah, 54 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,080 Speaker 1: I can't see it in my mind's I like, I 55 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 1: know the nut, but you're talking about it, but I 56 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 1: can't picture it. And I'm like, and I don't have 57 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 1: any peanuts in the house. Well, I think we can pick. 58 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 1: I think we can figure this out. Yeah. And again, 59 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 1: this is like the cuts to the montage of us 60 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: and like the goggles, the lab coats. Yeah, little pipe, Yeah, 61 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 1: camera's various scientific equipment. We don't know what it does, 62 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 1: but yeah, I have lasers. Well, we'll figure it out. Yeah, 63 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 1: we need the lasers, for sure, I think so. I 64 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 1: think Yeah, it makes it extra science, for sure, it does. 65 00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 1: It does. That's what we need. Yeah, we're going to 66 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: figure it out. M m okay. Quick note from Murna 67 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 1: about peanut butter cookies. Yeah, quote a better recipe. Cut 68 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 1: the peanut butter in half and substitute tahini sesame butter. 69 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:21,280 Speaker 1: It makes the cookie more crisp and delicately flavored. Right, 70 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,599 Speaker 1: I thought that is really good. I haven't. I don't 71 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,720 Speaker 1: use a lot of peanut butter in baking or cooking, 72 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 1: but now I my whole mind is just like expanding 73 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 1: into this universe where I use a blend of peanut 74 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 1: butter and tihini and everything that I do that with. Yeah, 75 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: because I feel like I and you. I mean, I 76 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 1: don't have to tell anybody here, but I love peanut butter. 77 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,479 Speaker 1: But sometimes it's like, um, it's a lot. Yeah, it's 78 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:52,600 Speaker 1: very heavy, it's very rich, and so lightening that up 79 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 1: a little bit could be really great, especially a lot 80 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 1: of times I see U SAPs you know, sort of 81 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 1: in the pad tie realm that are like use peanut butter, 82 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 1: and I'm like, I think that's two that's not what 83 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 1: I want. Like I do love peanut butter and noodles, 84 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,280 Speaker 1: and oh yeah it'd be great. But what I kind 85 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 1: of wanted something much like that has that flavor, but 86 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 1: it is lighter, it's too clinging to the noodles or anything. 87 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 1: Maybe this is just me not doing well cookie peanut butter. 88 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,599 Speaker 1: But I also when we got this note from Urner, 89 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,840 Speaker 1: I was like, wait a minute, Well, there's so many 90 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:29,840 Speaker 1: things I could try, right yeah, yeah, um, oh gosh. 91 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 1: And I and I do love sesame so much.

Oh 97 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,600 Speaker 1: those were Those were my favorite. They're not currently a sponsor. 98 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 1: I am not being paid to say this right now. 99 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 1: Those were and delicious. Yes, I mean I'm biased in 100 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,600 Speaker 1: a certain way because they sent me free product one time, 101 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 1: but they were well that one was really short, So 102 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 1: I am thank thank you though, holy heck, thank you. 103 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 1: But but yeah, I'll do the next one to a 104 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,839 Speaker 1: Chad wrote, I loved listening to the recent episode on 105 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 1: turtle soup. However, when I saw the episode, I had 106 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 1: the smallest sliver of hope that you were going to 107 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 1: be talking about the real turtle soup, real and heavy quotes. 108 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,040 Speaker 1: Growing up, we had split peace soup in our house 109 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 1: on at least a monthly basis. It was filling and 110 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 1: fairly cheap to make. As a kid, though that was 111 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,719 Speaker 1: a dreaded meal. This all changed when my mom started 112 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 1: to call split peace soup turtle soup due to me 113 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,920 Speaker 1: being a late eighties early nineties kid and my obsession 114 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:55,160 Speaker 1: with all things teenage Mutant Ninja turtles. After it was 115 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,359 Speaker 1: named that in our house, I looked forward to turtle 116 00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,839 Speaker 1: soup night. She also helped me find my love for 117 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 1: beans by calling them cowboy beans due to one of 118 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 1: my favorite movies growing up, The Three Amigos. As a 119 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 1: parent of young kids, we still call split pea soup 120 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 1: turtle soup in our house. Our kids both enjoy it, 121 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 1: and there is an added bonus of them liking the 122 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 1: teenage Mutant Ninja turtles now as well. I'm glad my 123 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 1: mom changed the name and helped me love such a 124 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 1: tasty soup. We do this with our kids as well, 125 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 1: with other dishes like us spinach, banana muffins, hulk muffins, 126 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 1: anything colored red with beets, iron man, whatever, etc. Whatever 127 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 1: you can do to get a vegetable down them sometimes 128 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 1: shrug emoji. I love this so much, right, Oh, that's wonderful. 129 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 1: It's wonderful in a lot of ways, because, first of all, 130 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 1: I love this is such a fascinating insight into the 131 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 1: human psyche, especially child Oh yeah, yes, And I mean 132 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 1: there's a lot of pros and cons of like maccaronia 133 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 1: cheese shaped like SpongeBob SquarePants. But we're gonna be there 134 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 1: onto something. But also I love that you loved teenage 135 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 1: mutant ninja turtles, but you were totally into maybe eating 136 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 1: them in a turtle soup or eating their brethren. Oh yeah, okay, 137 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 1: so right, So this this bears the question, or bears 138 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 1: the question rather right, like did you think that the 139 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 1: soup was made with turtles or was it just like 140 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 1: turtle themed? Was it like, right, this is what makes 141 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 1: them green? Maybe I can be more like a turtle. 142 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 1: I can become one of the teenagers yeah, turtles, that's true. 143 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 1: That's true. I mean it's a lot to think about it. 144 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: And this email I do too, and it's such like 145 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 1: a creative smart parenting. Yeah, just just marketing, just like yeah, 146 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 1: oh well this you don't like this muff and it's 147 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 1: whole muffing. Oh yeah, yeah, well then I must have it. 148 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 1: I love it. Honestly, I could do this to myself 149 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:10,680 Speaker 1: to this day. I'll just start naming my meals. I 150 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 1: still do themed meals, you know I do. Clearly, it 151 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 1: still works, It still works, it still works for me. Well, listeners, 152 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 1: if you have any meals like this, please let us know. Yeah, 153 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:28,680 Speaker 1: I love them, Yes, Eric or Eric Route So yes, 154 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 1: I'm still catching up. I'm trying to avoid getting in 155 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:34,640 Speaker 1: front to avoid spoilers. Anyway, I finally crossed into the 156 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one episodes in the Lima Bean episode, I 157 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 1: was wondering if you had any recipe slash cookie instructions 158 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 1: for them. I've never liked them, as every time I've 159 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 1: had them they have been mealy and bitter. It sounds 160 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 1: like I have never had a good one cooked properly. 161 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 1: While I can see there are a ton of recipes 162 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,840 Speaker 1: out there, I'm more likely to try one from a 163 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 1: couple of hosts who I enjoy and who love the food, 164 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 1: still enjoying everything about the show.

Yes, I actually 170 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 1: am very fond of how many people have sent a 171 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 1: similar version to this very email, which is like, I 172 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,839 Speaker 1: don't really like lima beans. Please tell me what am 173 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,840 Speaker 1: I doing wrong? How can I what's what? What are 174 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 1: the alps? My friend? Yeah, yes, I feel like I 175 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:39,680 Speaker 1: forgot to mention in that episode. I might have said 176 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 1: it in the later episode, but it's kind of a 177 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 1: funny scene in SpongeBob again SpongeBob were there that like, 178 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 1: these bullies are torturing him and they're feeding him lima 179 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 1: beans and he's like anything but that. Yeah, I would 180 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:56,680 Speaker 1: love to hear if you have any recipes, Lauren. I 181 00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,559 Speaker 1: have like three answers I give people very quick. Okay, 182 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 1: I do not, so go for it. Okay, Okay. The 183 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,080 Speaker 1: main way I eat them is essentially I get a 184 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 1: frozen I get a frozen bag of them. I cook 185 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,560 Speaker 1: them with the instructions, and usually it gives you like 186 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 1: a ten to twelve minutes, and I do like ten 187 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 1: because I like a crisper. Okay, I'm a bean. And 188 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 1: then I just sometimes I'll put a chicken boullion in there, 189 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 1: but that's not necessary. That's a fun, feeling fancy. And 190 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 1: then I just like put way too much of that 191 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:30,600 Speaker 1: Tony's Creole seasoning in there in the water, all right, 192 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:35,439 Speaker 1: And then when it's done, I really like kind of 193 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,200 Speaker 1: eating them with some of the broth. But if you 194 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,560 Speaker 1: don't like, you can drain them or however you want 195 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,480 Speaker 1: to do that, add more seasoning to taste of I 196 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 1: use the creole seasoning, and then if you want add butter. 197 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 1: I rarely do that, but it's like sample easy, very flavorful. 198 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:52,319 Speaker 1: I love the texture. That's my number one way to 199 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 1: eat them. I really like them. In this oxtail stew 200 00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 1: recipe that I found, spoilers are you, but we did 201 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,840 Speaker 1: talk about this in enough episode, But basically it's really 202 00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 1: it's not the easiest recipe and It's not the easiest 203 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 1: thing to find oxtails, but if you can. It is 204 00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,959 Speaker 1: like one of my favorite recipes I've discovered through this show. 205 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 1: And it's basically like a four hour stew that involves 206 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:20,679 Speaker 1: a can of lima beans. Okay, and then I really 207 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 1: like and this one's harder to pull off, and I 208 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,320 Speaker 1: actually have never made it myself, but I've had friends 209 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 1: who've made it, but like a lima beans salad with 210 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 1: fresher kind of lima beans and that like a bright 211 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,319 Speaker 1: flavors and herbs and lemon and stuff like that. It's 212 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,319 Speaker 1: usually like a summertime thing, but I love it when 213 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,080 Speaker 1: I've had it. I have never made it, but now 214 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,960 Speaker 1: I want to experiment. Yeah. Yeah, I can't say that 215 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,560 Speaker 1: I personally cook with lima beans, but i've I've loved 216 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:50,440 Speaker 1: them when they've been prepared pretty much the way that 217 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 1: Annie was describing with that first with that first thing, 218 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,560 Speaker 1: that is I imagine like the directions on how those 219 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 1: things are made. Um, So yeah, yeah, yeah, I keep 220 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 1: looking keep I keep looking at bags in the frozen 221 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:10,200 Speaker 1: food aisle and thinking of you Annie, my emergency, yeah, 222 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 1: and like thinking about getting some and then going like 223 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 1: I already have like so much frozen spinach, and like 224 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,199 Speaker 1: I get those bags of a mixed piece and carrots 225 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,200 Speaker 1: and then just throw them into literally everything. Yes, but 226 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 1: I do, um hm, so that I feel like I'm 227 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:30,360 Speaker 1: eating a vegetable, right, but yeah, but yeah, maybe maybe 228 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:35,080 Speaker 1: my Lina time is coming. Oh I hope. So it's 229 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 1: so good, honestly, like every It's one of those things 230 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:39,160 Speaker 1: that every time I make it, it's so simple, and 231 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 1: then I eat it. I'm like, this is the best thing. Yeah, 232 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,440 Speaker 1: I don't want to eat this more offing delicious. That 233 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 1: could be just I hope that one of those recipes 234 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 1: or you find a recipe that you like to you 235 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:51,959 Speaker 1: and all of the other listeners who have written in 236 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:55,679 Speaker 1: about those, and I've given essentially the same three three things. 237 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 1: But let us know. In the meantime, we do have 238 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,440 Speaker 1: some more listener mail for we do. But first we've 239 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,640 Speaker 1: got a quick break for a word from our sponsors 240 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 1: and we're back. Thank you, yes, thank you, Aaron wrote 241 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:20,000 Speaker 1: long time no right number one saver fan Aaron here 242 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 1: months ago. I started to write you about my spoons 243 00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 1: but got derailed, so let's try again. As a child, 244 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,320 Speaker 1: I collected souvenir spoons from every state and country I 245 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,120 Speaker 1: had ever visited where I could find one. But I 246 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 1: never stopped to wonder why this all started in the 247 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 1: first place. It was just something I did as long 248 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:41,960 Speaker 1: as I can remember. Due to space constraints, I sold 249 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,280 Speaker 1: them all when I cleared out my mother's estate a 250 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 1: few years ago, But your spoon episode clarified a little 251 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 1: bit of that history for me, which brings me to 252 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 1: my next spoon story. Along with my mother's estate, I 253 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 1: inherited what is perhaps my oldest family heirloom, a set 254 00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:00,400 Speaker 1: of solid silver spoons engraved with the married initial of 255 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 1: my great great grandmother. These six fancy little spoons were 256 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,000 Speaker 1: supposedly a wedding gift that has now been passed down 257 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 1: through the ages. Growing up staring at these in my 258 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:13,120 Speaker 1: mother's china cabinet, and on the unfortunate occasion I was 259 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 1: the house elf assigned to polish the silver for holidays, 260 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:19,400 Speaker 1: I always wondered, why spoons? Why not the whole set 261 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,360 Speaker 1: of silverware? If for the cost, why not one or 262 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:25,680 Speaker 1: two full play settings instead of spoons. Thank you for 263 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 1: clarifying some of the strange history of this flatwear. In 264 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:32,640 Speaker 1: any case, please enjoy the attached photo of my precious spoons, 265 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:38,200 Speaker 1: and they are very beautiful spoons, high quality, good spoons, 266 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:42,000 Speaker 1: high quality. Also, I just have to say I love 267 00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:44,960 Speaker 1: that we get emails that were like I started to 268 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 1: write to you about my spoons, but I got derailed 269 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 1: perfect perfect, Oh yeah, understood and lovely. Yeah. Yes, yes, 270 00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 1: I had questions like these two when I was a kid. 271 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 1: I kind of didn't get the whole sure, yeah, the 272 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 1: whole spoon thing, or just like the I didn't get 273 00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 1: the like old these are really nice plates and we 274 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:10,960 Speaker 1: bring them out at this time, but we're just going 275 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 1: to break them. I don't understand. Yeah, yeah, but yeah, 276 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:19,680 Speaker 1: I'm glad we could answer some spoon related queries for you. 277 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 1: Always Always Aaron did have some other notes, though, Aaron 278 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 1: continues next. Your limburger cheese episode reminded me not so 279 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,120 Speaker 1: fondly of my childhood. When my dad would walk around 280 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 1: the house snacky on limburger. He would proffer a slice 281 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,840 Speaker 1: under the nose of anyone unfortunate enough to be in range, saying, 282 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 1: stinky cheese, stinky cheese, smells like feet, taste like gold. 283 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,200 Speaker 1: Even the cat would take a one wife and run 284 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,000 Speaker 1: the other way as a very picky eater. I could 285 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,480 Speaker 1: never even attempt to taste a bit of it, but 286 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 1: my dad he remains fond of that funk to this 287 00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 1: day and well into his golden years. And finally, because 288 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 1: I had no real reason to write to you after 289 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 1: the blue crab episode, but thought you'd enjoy it anyway, 290 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,119 Speaker 1: attached are also a few picks of me and my 291 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 1: family enjoying one of our very favorite weekend activities, catching 292 00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:15,159 Speaker 1: blue crabs at our home in Chinquatigue Island, Virginia. I 293 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 1: hope I did not butcher that where a few chicken necks, 294 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 1: a piece of string, a net, and a bit of 295 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,200 Speaker 1: patients are all you need to catch a dinner fit 296 00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:27,040 Speaker 1: for a king. Unfortunately, changing climate and overfishing by those 297 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,879 Speaker 1: who do not abide by minimum size limits have caused 298 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,720 Speaker 1: a drastic drop in the population of crabs in recent years. 299 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:34,680 Speaker 1: I don't like to be a tattletale, but I can't 300 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 1: count the number of times I have called the game 301 00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 1: warden on those who refuse to throw back buckets full 302 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 1: of baby crabs, even after we kindly inform them of 303 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:45,359 Speaker 1: size restrictions. For the last three or four years, we 304 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,199 Speaker 1: have hardly had an acceptable catch to make dinner. So 305 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,679 Speaker 1: I'd like to take this opportunity to remind folks that 306 00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 1: seafood sized restrictions exist for very good reason. Foods or 307 00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:56,879 Speaker 1: sea creatures need to reach breeding age and have a 308 00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,920 Speaker 1: chance to repopulate before harvest. If they are eaten before 309 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 1: they are mature, there will be none left to breed. 310 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 1: Please abide by the rules to protect the future of 311 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 1: not only our food supply, but our ecosystems too. I 312 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,320 Speaker 1: only hope these happy little boys in my pictures can 313 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:17,280 Speaker 1: grow up to share the joy of crabbing with their children. Yeah. Yeah, 314 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:22,080 Speaker 1: all of that indeed. Yeah. Sustainability, yeah, it's the rules 315 00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:26,640 Speaker 1: exist for reasons. Yes, yes, just yes they do. Um 316 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:28,720 Speaker 1: And I feel like a lot of times people get 317 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:32,560 Speaker 1: so like, well, surely it's just me by to me, 318 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:37,000 Speaker 1: But it does, it does, it does. Yeah. Also, your 319 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,760 Speaker 1: limburger cheese story is very cute, and my dad used 320 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 1: to do that with buttermilk. Oh oh yeah. It kind 321 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,120 Speaker 1: of almost became a game, like now I've had buttermilk, 322 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,440 Speaker 1: and I like it because it was him being like 323 00:18:50,000 --> 00:19:00,440 Speaker 1: butter milk, no, no, no, yes, beans, yeah exactly. Chris 324 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,119 Speaker 1: Road just wanted to make a quick note and add 325 00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 1: another food related sports mascot to your list. Here in Kalamazoo, Michigan, 326 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:12,560 Speaker 1: we have a local baseball team called the Growlers. I 327 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,200 Speaker 1: know that doesn't seem to be food related on first glance, 328 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 1: but Kalamazoo is a big craft beer town, so the 329 00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 1: type of Growlers we usually think about here are these 330 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,960 Speaker 1: sixty four ounce glass jugs that can be used to 331 00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 1: take beer home from the brewery. My wife and I 332 00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,199 Speaker 1: are huge craft beer fans, and we seek them out 333 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,919 Speaker 1: every time we travel. Through the years, we've amassed an 334 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,959 Speaker 1: immense collection of Growlers, but we had to stop collecting 335 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 1: them when we ran out of shelf space. Despite that, 336 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,200 Speaker 1: our quest to get as many breweries as possible continues. 337 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:44,360 Speaker 1: We hope to make it to brewery number three hundred 338 00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:47,399 Speaker 1: by the end of the summer. Okay, back to mascot stuff. 339 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:51,359 Speaker 1: The Growler's actual mascot's name is Porter, like the style 340 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 1: of dark beer. He used to be called Barley with 341 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:58,240 Speaker 1: two Ease, but that name had to be changed after 342 00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:02,200 Speaker 1: a legal dispute between in the Growlers and the Hillsboro Hops. 343 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,720 Speaker 1: One of the mascots that you mentioned in the podcast, 344 00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:09,400 Speaker 1: I have strong opinions about naming a hop cone Barley. 345 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:12,280 Speaker 1: But this is probably the wrong podcast for that discussion. 346 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,640 Speaker 1: Maybe you can do one about food based legal disputes 347 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,919 Speaker 1: in the future. I can't tell you how badly I 348 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:25,160 Speaker 1: want to do that. Let me free and oh oh yeah. 349 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,119 Speaker 1: Every time we find one of those in a history, 350 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:31,159 Speaker 1: we are so excited. And I would I would say 351 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,840 Speaker 1: that this might be precisely the right podcast for your 352 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:38,960 Speaker 1: strong opinions about naming a hop cone Barley. I agree. 353 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 1: I cannot think of one better. I can't either, and 354 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 1: I want to know all about it. This is hilarious 355 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:50,080 Speaker 1: to me that they got an illegal Barley Hillsboro. Yeah, 356 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 1: Barley versus Barley fight. Love it. Have you seen the 357 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:57,520 Speaker 1: puppet Christmas Carol? Marley and Marley's my favorite song?

Also, 359 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 1: Chris included pictures of the Growler collection that was described 360 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,920 Speaker 1: and it is very impressive, and also had a note 361 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:16,360 Speaker 1: about nightmares that it would collapse. Oh oh that's fair. Yeah, yeah, 362 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:20,880 Speaker 1: but you know this is great.

Okay, 497 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,600 Speaker 1: when I was there from twenty seven to twenty ten, 498 00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:31,400 Speaker 1: we had the all green body speedy with the white shell. 499 00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:35,600 Speaker 1: Looks like the new Speedy you referenced white body and 500 00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:39,640 Speaker 1: green shell I was introduced around twenty fourteen. The older 501 00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:42,920 Speaker 1: one is much better in my opinion, and looks way 502 00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:47,080 Speaker 1: more Evergreen. Evergreen is a tiny school with a very 503 00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:50,600 Speaker 1: basic sports program, so we didn't get the luxury of 504 00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:54,240 Speaker 1: seeing Speedy much except for merch at the campus bookstore. 505 00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:57,960 Speaker 1: Oh and we have eaten gooey duck once in China. 506 00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:01,040 Speaker 1: It was pretty good. Oddly see it in grocery stores, 507 00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:05,160 Speaker 1: but not on menus much. And please, it's Washington, not 508 00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 1: Washington State. No one says Washington state except for people 509 00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:12,360 Speaker 1: on the East coast. This is from someone who grew 510 00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:16,479 Speaker 1: up in Washington and it's now living in Washington, d C. Thanks. 511 00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,600 Speaker 1: And can you give a shout out to my wife, Gina. 512 00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 1: We've been listening since the pineapple and champagne days of 513 00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:26,200 Speaker 1: food stuff. We always wanted to write in and never had, 514 00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:32,800 Speaker 1: but couldn't pass this one up of course. Yes, hey Gina, Hey, yes, 515 00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:36,080 Speaker 1: thank you for a vision. Oh my goodness, thank you 516 00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:38,760 Speaker 1: for writing in. Thanks for sticking around with us all 517 00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,480 Speaker 1: of this time. I love it. I love when we 518 00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:43,120 Speaker 1: hear from people who've been listening since the beginning and 519 00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:44,920 Speaker 1: they're like, I we've never written in. Here's the time. 520 00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:50,480 Speaker 1: I'm glad that we could give you your time. Yeah, yes, yes, 521 00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:54,120 Speaker 1: and I mean this. We called we wanted answers about 522 00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:57,479 Speaker 1: the two different Gooey Ducks. Yeah, mascots that we were 523 00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:00,520 Speaker 1: running across in that episode, and you have given them 524 00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:07,760 Speaker 1: to us. I love the strong opinion about the better one. Huh. Yeah. 525 00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:09,920 Speaker 1: It's also quite as site listeners. If you haven't look 526 00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:13,800 Speaker 1: it up, please do. It's hard to describe. To be honest, 527 00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:16,840 Speaker 1: I think it is. I think, as with many things 528 00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:21,000 Speaker 1: Gooey Duck, you truly have to see it for yourself. Agreed, 529 00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:27,080 Speaker 1: heart agreed. Yeah, also noted about Washington State. But in 530 00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:30,560 Speaker 1: our and fairness, does we are on the east Yeah, 531 00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:32,880 Speaker 1: and so right, so like to us, like when when 532 00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:36,200 Speaker 1: someone says Washington, it's more likely that they are referring 533 00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:39,640 Speaker 1: to Washington, d C. Which is what we call Washington 534 00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:42,200 Speaker 1: d C. We just call it Washington, and so like 535 00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:45,040 Speaker 1: in our brains, I think that we're doing an opposite thing, 536 00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:49,040 Speaker 1: where yeah, if someone says Washington, they mean Washington, DC. 537 00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:51,560 Speaker 1: And if you specify Washington State, then that's when you're 538 00:32:51,560 --> 00:33:01,600 Speaker 1: talking about Washington. It's a mess the human language of dialects, linguistics. Yeah, fascinating, Yeah, 539 00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:05,080 Speaker 1: a lovely fun mess. Love it it is. It is 540 00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:10,200 Speaker 1: oh so much of these mascots is that. Um, but 541 00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:14,320 Speaker 1: this as always has been a delight and we truly 542 00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:19,520 Speaker 1: appreciate hearing from all of you.
