So first stuff we have Nathan. 58 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 1: Nathan wrote, Hi, ladies, hope you're doing well. You asked 59 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 1: for what people do for Easter, and I am delivering. 60 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 1: So to this day, my parents still make me hunt 61 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 1: for Easter eggs. I very much enjoy this because I 62 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 1: also hate candy eats too sweet for me. So my 63 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 1: parents have for the past ten years been putting money 64 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 1: into Easter eggs. Now I love looking for them. In 65 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,919 Speaker 1: recent years, it has gotten to an extreme. I have 66 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 1: found eggs and some of the most ridiculous places, including 67 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 1: inside an oven, mitt inside a drawer at the bottom 68 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 1: of one of my dresser drawers, wrapped in a sock 69 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,039 Speaker 1: outside and a gutter at the front of our house, 70 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 1: and buried within a cake that I had to eat 71 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 1: my way through to get, as well as many others. 72 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 1: As much as I love the one hundred dollars, at 73 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 1: the end of the day, it's just gotten out of hand. 74 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,600 Speaker 1: All joking aside, I love my parents and hunting for 75 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 1: Easter eggs. That, yes, that is pretty extreme as someone 76 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,719 Speaker 1: who I also still get to do the Easter hunts 77 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 1: outside of quarantine. Um, I don't think I've ever had 78 00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,720 Speaker 1: like one inside No, I definitely have not had one 79 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,600 Speaker 1: inside a cake that I'm going to say cake is 80 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:07,600 Speaker 1: next level. That's that's pretty great. Yeah, that's like Matilda, 81 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,719 Speaker 1: but in the best way when he has to eat 82 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 1: that jacket cake. I think the weirdest place I ever 83 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 1: found an egg was like it was in a bird feeder, 84 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 1: like hanging from a tree so you couldn't see it. 85 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 1: It was kind of in the different but I found it. 86 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 1: Yeah you did, um, Emily wrote, I just listened to 87 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 1: the Easter Egg episode and you were talking about egg 88 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 1: breaking games. Being Greek Orthodox, I can speak to this tradition. 89 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 1: We die eggs red and at our normally huge Easter 90 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 1: parties with lambs roasting on a spit and about fifty 91 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 1: of your closest relatives all over, we have egg contests. 92 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 1: Each person gets one egg and you go face to 93 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 1: face against someone. One person hits their rounded egg side 94 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 1: to another person's round at egg side, and the winner 95 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 1: moves on to someone else, until eventually you have one 96 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 1: egg which beat every other egg, or you have no 97 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,920 Speaker 1: eggs left at all. The winning egg remains in the 98 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 1: winner's house until next Easter. It doesn't smell because it's 99 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:17,039 Speaker 1: perfectly sealed in the shell, no cracks. This year we 100 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 1: did a very small version of this, just our nuclear family, 101 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 1: and I am pleased to say I won. I touched 102 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 1: a photo of our eggs and mine is the one 103 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,039 Speaker 1: in the middle. When I was little, we would have 104 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 1: huge greekster Greekster parties, yes, where we would invite not 105 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,720 Speaker 1: only family but also many of our friends. This almost 106 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:37,679 Speaker 1: always worked out because most years Protestant Catholic Easter doesn't 107 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 1: fall on the same day as Orthodox Easter. I have 108 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 1: two fond memories of my grandma at these events. One 109 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,360 Speaker 1: was when she would chase all my friends around with 110 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: the lamb eyeballs, crossing them out. The other is when 111 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 1: she cheated in the egg game. She had found a 112 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 1: wooden egg at a craft store and had died at 113 00:06:55,720 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 1: red and kicked everyone's butt before revealing her prank. She 114 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 1: was such a chaotic character and I miss her every day. 115 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,719 Speaker 1: Needless to say, Easter and the egg cracking game hold 116 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 1: a fond place in my heart. Your grandmother sounds amazing. 117 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, that sounds like, yes, best grandma. No 118 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 1: offense to every other grandma out there. Pretty excellent. All right, 119 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 1: So now we're pivoting. Uh huh, Radishes, Radishes, Radishes. Miranda 120 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 1: Random wrote on Twitter Radishes. I heard Nights and my 121 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 1: brain automatically went to Kylo Radish and the Knights of 122 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 1: Radish with all the appropriate mental imagery therein. That is fantastic. 123 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 1: And yes, and if you haven't heard my theories on 124 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 1: Kylo Wren being a bad Jedi, then well I have 125 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 1: a lot of thoughts about it, and I think that 126 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 1: I can work them into this Kylo raddish scenario. I 127 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 1: I for some reason thought that you might have something 128 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 1: like that going on already, so I don't know why 129 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 1: that would be. Laurence no idea. Umu Asha wrote, I 130 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 1: was listening to your podcast while gardening yesterday and the 131 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 1: radish episode started up. It just so happened that I 132 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 1: was harvesting the last My radish is so perfect. They're 133 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 1: such an easy thing to grow, and I hope Annie's 134 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,239 Speaker 1: efforts are successful. I always grow them at the beginning 135 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 1: of the year, just to see something grow, even though 136 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 1: I don't even love radishes. Thankfully, my pet rabbit, Amelia Otter, 137 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 1: loves them and is always happy to help with the greens. 138 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,199 Speaker 1: Just an aside, she is definitely judgmental and rules her 139 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 1: home with an iron paw, keeping our fifty pound dog 140 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 1: in check. I poached the best looking radishes with wine 141 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 1: and chicken broth to put over a salad. By the way, 142 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:53,840 Speaker 1: I seriously recommend Roughage by abrab Burns. It goes through 143 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:55,800 Speaker 1: all the vegetables you could get at a farmer's marketer 144 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,960 Speaker 1: Cisa and gives choose your own adventure instructions on what 145 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 1: to do with them. So a book recommendations always welcome. 146 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 1: Thank you so much. UM. Yeah, that's rough age by 147 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 1: Abra Burns M B E R n S if you're 148 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 1: looking for that. UM. Also Asha UM included photographs of 149 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 1: her radishes and of Amelia otter um. And that is 150 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 1: and that's an excellent name. It's an excellent name. It's 151 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 1: an excellent bun. That's that's just high quality, high quality 152 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:35,599 Speaker 1: bunny right there. Yes, yes, agreed, I concur my radishes. 153 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:40,680 Speaker 1: I guess an update on that they haven't died. I 154 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 1: don't know that they've actually grown, but believes are still there. 155 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:49,200 Speaker 1: Why that's that's great. But I do have some oregano 156 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 1: growing now some men? What congratulations, thank you, thank you. 157 00:09:55,160 --> 00:10:00,880 Speaker 1: I can't have mint, but I can grow it. Oh 158 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 1: and now asparagus. I I honestly am shocked and thrilled 159 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 1: at how many emails we've got about asparagus. It's awesome, 160 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 1: it is, UM. Frequent writer Rose wrote to us. As 161 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,080 Speaker 1: I've mentioned before, I'm from Stuttgart, Germany, but now live 162 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 1: in Seattle. Let me tell you as Germans love spargo. Spargo. 163 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 1: You say, yes, spargo means specifically white asparagus and German 164 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:28,720 Speaker 1: you have to say gruner spargo to clarify if you're 165 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 1: not talking about white asparagus, much like kale just after 166 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:34,720 Speaker 1: the first frost in the autumn, as Germans go crazy 167 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 1: for spargo the second it is available in the spring. 168 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 1: It is the first edible sign that winter is officially 169 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 1: over and spring has come. And yes, the taste is 170 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 1: truly special, slightly sweet, tiny bit bitter. Oh, and the 171 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 1: spears are so tender. Often it is served with hollandaise, sauce, ham, 172 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 1: or smoked fish, sometimes wrapped into crapes are turned into 173 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 1: a soup. It is understandable, though, that you have never 174 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 1: had the chance to try it. And even in a 175 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 1: state like Washington that grows a lot of asparagus, spargo 176 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 1: is hard to find and didn't even start appearing on 177 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 1: produce shelves until a few years ago. Even then, spargo 178 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 1: con spoiled very quickly, and often the bottom stuf dried 179 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 1: out and turned pink. Bad sign Small, very expensive Kansas 180 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 1: spargo can be found sometimes, But this product is just 181 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,840 Speaker 1: awful and not recommended at all. So imagine my delight 182 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 1: when a German beer hall opened up in town. At 183 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 1: first I rolled my eyes, just another joint selling an 184 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,200 Speaker 1: October Fest version of my food culture. Much to my shock, 185 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,079 Speaker 1: it wasn't like that at all. Come springing, spargo was 186 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 1: on the menu. I couldn't believe it. I had never 187 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,840 Speaker 1: seen a German restaurant in my area put anything but 188 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 1: the old standards on the menu. Soon after that, I 189 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,720 Speaker 1: became a fan, then friend to the chef owner, Megan Combs, 190 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 1: and her restaurant, All Stutt became my home away from home. 191 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 1: Flash War to Spring on March fifteenth, COVID nineteen was 192 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 1: beginning to hit Seattle pretty hard. That Sunday, the city 193 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,439 Speaker 1: felt pretty depressed. My husband and I walked the four 194 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 1: miles along the Seattle out Her front from our home 195 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,679 Speaker 1: to Alstatt. The city was deserted. The normally tourist throwing 196 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 1: shops were now ghost towns. Uncertainty hung like a heavy fog. 197 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 1: When we arrived to all stat we were only the 198 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:14,079 Speaker 1: second third customers all day, the first ones to order food. 199 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 1: Of course, we had come for the spargo. It was 200 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 1: perfect as always, and just the right amount of bitter 201 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 1: and sweet as we ate. Governor Innesley announced that restaurants 202 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:24,680 Speaker 1: will be banned from serving in house. That was my 203 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 1: only spargo of the season and the last restaurant we 204 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 1: ate in and maybe the last time I'll ever get 205 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 1: to eat at my home away from home. Allstat it's 206 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 1: fitting then, my last meal there with spargo, a vegetable 207 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 1: that epitomizes rebirth. Oh yeah ooof indeed, um, hopefully spargo 208 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 1: will rise again one day for you. Yes, and thanks 209 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 1: special thanks to Rose because she sent us parochki. Thank you, 210 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 1: thank you, thank you.

There's one that's uh it's a parochkey 216 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:27,480 Speaker 1: that's shaped like a parogui and it's filled with potato 217 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 1: and cheese.

I have not heard 234 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 1: of that doing that, but I definitely want to. This 235 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 1: used to be a tradition.

Saurkraut. Yes, so many thoughts people have about sarcroud, passionate, 249 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 1: passionate thoughts. I did not realize that sauer kraut was 250 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:36,320 Speaker 1: such a divisive food stuff. I didn't either, but you know, 251 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 1: there's a part of me that thinks I should have. 252 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:44,320 Speaker 1: I should have, So starting with Kirsten, Kirston wrote, I 253 00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 1: was born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio. The city has 254 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 1: a rich German heritage. At one time in history, part 255 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:53,360 Speaker 1: of the city called over the Rhine, was primarily German speaking, 256 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,000 Speaker 1: and even today there's a public elementary school in town 257 00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 1: that is a German language school. So naturally German food 258 00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 1: in including saara kraut, is pretty standard around town. I 259 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 1: honestly wasn't a huge fan of the stuff growing up, 260 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 1: but after listening to this episode, I definitely planned to 261 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 1: give it another chy next time I go home.

My caloric priorities at october Fest have always 265 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:23,800 Speaker 1: been the giant pretzels with beer, cheese, and deep fried 266 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 1: Sara kraut balls washed down with local German style beer, 267 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:30,600 Speaker 1: and a giant chocolate covered cream puff for dessert. According 268 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 1: to their website, last year during october Fest, Cincinnati consumed 269 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 1: sixty four thousand sarakraut balls and three thousand, six hundred 270 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 1: pounds of Sara kraut.

I will tell you the best one so 333 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:06,199 Speaker 1: far would be a controversial pick considering some of the 334 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:10,560 Speaker 1: locally decided best places by tradition. There's a lot of 335 00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:16,080 Speaker 1: love going into Rubens and Omaha and I had to share. Man, 336 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,440 Speaker 1: this is something this person hatch of my own heart. 337 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:23,520 Speaker 1: I've done this kind of thing at Plans before. But yeah, um, 338 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 1: your ranking system for barbecue places is really epic. It's 339 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 1: I think it's like overly complicated, but I think barbecue 340 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 1: is complicated. It is all right. I can't just say 341 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:37,159 Speaker 1: this is the best barbe You gotta look at the 342 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,160 Speaker 1: best risk. You're got to look at the best. It's 343 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:42,879 Speaker 1: a whole thing. And what about the sides, Yes, what 344 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,199 Speaker 1: about the sides? This is very important. I take it 345 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 1: very seriously, and clearly Cody does too. We you're doing 346 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:55,760 Speaker 1: the good work and we appreciate it. Yes, yes, man, 347 00:20:55,840 --> 00:21:00,919 Speaker 1: one day I shall try this sandwich. Oh gosh, okay, 348 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,200 Speaker 1: I like I just had this urge to like bring 349 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:06,400 Speaker 1: you one right now, Not that I have a Reuben 350 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 1: just sitting in my house or like, yeah, or even 351 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:14,120 Speaker 1: the ingredients to make one. It wouldn't surprise me, though, 352 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,800 Speaker 1: if you showed up and you're like throwing rocks at 353 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:22,160 Speaker 1: my window. Any it's a Ruben Cool Lauren the Superhero, 354 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:28,360 Speaker 1: I knew she was. Oh man, if John Cusack had 355 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:30,359 Speaker 1: showed up with a Reuben instead of a boom box, 356 00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:35,920 Speaker 1: it would have been a much better movie anyway. Um, 357 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:39,240 Speaker 1: all right, so we're gonna move on now to the 358 00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:45,960 Speaker 1: topic of breads. Yes, a wide category, Yes, very wide category. 359 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,840 Speaker 1: Every wrote. Like many people, I've had more time for 360 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,479 Speaker 1: making food lately. I made my first cake from scratch 361 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,359 Speaker 1: the other day. Before that, though, I had a pretzel mishap. 362 00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 1: I was using a bread machine to mix the dough. 363 00:21:57,720 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 1: The recipe for the bread machine dough called for dipping 364 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:03,199 Speaker 1: them in boiling water, but I thought i'd baked them instead. Sorry, 365 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:06,160 Speaker 1: it was my first time in boiling them as complicated. 366 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 1: I switched recipes halfway through Because of that. I went 367 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:13,080 Speaker 1: down the ingredients list adding them all. It called for 368 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 1: half a cup of baking soda, which seemed excessive, but 369 00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 1: what do I know. I have never made pretzels before. 370 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:20,879 Speaker 1: I was careful to make sure I had the right 371 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,880 Speaker 1: wood and not baking powder. When the process was done, 372 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:27,000 Speaker 1: I had an array of fresh homemade pretzels. They tasted 373 00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:30,719 Speaker 1: like soap. There was far too much baking soda. I 374 00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:34,280 Speaker 1: managed to eat one of them with difficulty and frequent 375 00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:36,960 Speaker 1: drinks to wash out my mouth. As it turned out, 376 00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 1: so the ingredients from the day recipever meant for later. 377 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:44,000 Speaker 1: The baking soda was for the boiling water. I was gutted, 378 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:47,560 Speaker 1: as they'd say on the Great British Baking Show. In 379 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 1: the end, it had a happy ending. I learned to 380 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 1: read the whole recipe, and though I was crushed that 381 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:55,720 Speaker 1: night by my hard work coming to nothing, the following 382 00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 1: morning I did it again. They tasted much less like 383 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:03,840 Speaker 1: soap and much more accomplishment. Yes, yeah, didn't let it 384 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:08,680 Speaker 1: knock you down. You learn, you persevered. You got pretzels 385 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 1: out of it. That does taste like accomplishment. That's great, 386 00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,919 Speaker 1: Yes it does. We've all had our pretzel mishaps and 387 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:22,879 Speaker 1: we must not let them stop us. Don't let the 388 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:29,440 Speaker 1: pretzels grind you down. Yeah, don't do it. Um. Rachel 389 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:33,280 Speaker 1: wrote in with a tip you don't need baking rings 390 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:36,400 Speaker 1: to make English muffins or crumpets.

I want to open 402 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 1: my own cafe when I grow older. So I listened 403 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:28,199 Speaker 1: to the bakery type food podcast over and over and 404 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,960 Speaker 1: hoping it will help my future plans and dreams.

Oh yeah, um Ivy wrote 410 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:51,199 Speaker 1: before we published our pancake episode. By the way, I 411 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,639 Speaker 1: consider myself to be a lover of all things food. 412 00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:56,159 Speaker 1: I teach us history, and my students know that a 413 00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,800 Speaker 1: surefire way to get me off topic is to pose 414 00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:02,160 Speaker 1: a great philosophical a bait in the food realm. Today's 415 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:09,760 Speaker 1: question was twofold one is bologny just a hot dog pancake? Oh? 416 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 1: And two? What is a pancake? Would any cake be 417 00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:18,119 Speaker 1: a pancake? Is it the dish or the cooking mechanism 418 00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:25,000 Speaker 1: that constitutes a pancake? Mm hmm. These are deep questions. 419 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,280 Speaker 1: These are that bologny one really has me? That one, 420 00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:37,040 Speaker 1: that one through me. You've pondered it extensively. Yeah, it's 421 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,640 Speaker 1: I feel like I feel like my mind is expanding, y'all. 422 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:42,960 Speaker 1: That's yeah. This is like the matrix part right. You 423 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:44,800 Speaker 1: know there is no spoon. Do not try to ban 424 00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:48,119 Speaker 1: the spoon. You must realize there is no there is 425 00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:52,520 Speaker 1: no spoon. That's what this question has done for us. 426 00:25:53,000 --> 00:26:01,400 Speaker 1: Whoa whoa? Indeed? Yes, oh yes? Speaking of whoa, Jeremiah 427 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:05,040 Speaker 1: wrote on today's episode, you mentioned the muffin unconsidered should 428 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:07,320 Speaker 1: be the title of something as of ten minutes ago, 429 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:09,720 Speaker 1: is the title of a really bad poem I wrote 430 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,439 Speaker 1: during my morning break.

Thank you sponsor, Yes, thank you. And 453 00:27:56,920 --> 00:28:01,320 Speaker 1: we're back with random big a big category. If you 454 00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:05,760 Speaker 1: thought breads was big category, we've now in large ender 455 00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 1: horizons even more. Yes, and we'll start with Nick. Nick 456 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 1: wrote the most recent Sauerkraut episode inspired me to write 457 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,000 Speaker 1: in because I felt like Annie was channeling my inner 458 00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:19,920 Speaker 1: spirit animal. Not only does she share my extreme love 459 00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:22,440 Speaker 1: for peanut butter, but she also mentioned the merchant from 460 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:24,600 Speaker 1: residen Evil four and did a spot on I Freshion. 461 00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:28,159 Speaker 1: Why I thank you. My wife recently beat the newest 462 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,800 Speaker 1: resident Evil three remake and has since started playing as 463 00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:33,159 Speaker 1: an Evil four, so I've heard his voice many times 464 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:35,399 Speaker 1: in the last few days. I thought that Harry Potters 465 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:39,080 Speaker 1: Sorting House comments were also correct and entertaining. Anyway, I 466 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 1: love craft beer and recently started homebrewing, and I've been 467 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:44,040 Speaker 1: on a quest for the last few years to try 468 00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:46,560 Speaker 1: to find the best peanut butter beer and try everyone 469 00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:49,200 Speaker 1: I can find. I don't know if Annie has tried any, 470 00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:51,719 Speaker 1: but there's definitely some good ones out there, though I 471 00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:55,440 Speaker 1: wasn't happy with the Terrapin version down in Atlanta. To date, 472 00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 1: the best one I've had commercially has been my local 473 00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:01,680 Speaker 1: brewery's Westallion here in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. They were in the 474 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:04,120 Speaker 1: news two years ago from making a candy corn stout 475 00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 1: for October that's also pretty tasty. The peanut butter Porter 476 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:11,280 Speaker 1: is delicious slee peanuty with chocolate to compliment it, and 477 00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:13,120 Speaker 1: sits that around at six cent a b V for 478 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:16,120 Speaker 1: drink ability. Inspired by this, I created my own version 479 00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:22,520 Speaker 1: that turned out even more peanuty bacteria pool. That's that 480 00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:27,400 Speaker 1: sounds amazing. Um, good for you for brewing your own beer. Yeah, 481 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:30,920 Speaker 1: you're minting with peanut butter beer. Yeah. Have you have 482 00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 1: you tried any peanut butter beer's anny? I have. Um, 483 00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:37,960 Speaker 1: I'm a terrible person and can't remember where they're from, 484 00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:40,120 Speaker 1: but I've had. I had like a couple of peanut 485 00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 1: butter and jelly ones. I think, um, and I do, 486 00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:45,600 Speaker 1: I do like them. It's always that like when you 487 00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:47,400 Speaker 1: take the first sip of something and you just have 488 00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:51,240 Speaker 1: this expectation and it's very different than your expectation. But 489 00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:53,400 Speaker 1: then when you're like, Okay, I'm not really this isn't 490 00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:55,760 Speaker 1: really a beer taste that I'm expecting. It is a 491 00:29:55,800 --> 00:30:00,120 Speaker 1: peanut butter and jelly taste. It was a very delicious. 492 00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:03,800 Speaker 1: Yeah uh yeah, I don't. I don't think I have 493 00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:07,600 Speaker 1: any experience with with peanut beers. Um, but our peanut 494 00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:12,320 Speaker 1: butter beers rather but um uh. Speaking of bacteria, poop um, 495 00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:15,480 Speaker 1: Chad wrote, I listened to the egg plant episode recently 496 00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:19,240 Speaker 1: and suffered some subconscious physical pain during so as a 497 00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:21,840 Speaker 1: parent of young children, I appreciate you giving the warning 498 00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:24,560 Speaker 1: to the listeners before delving into the egg plant emoji section, 499 00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:27,200 Speaker 1: but you missed another demographic to give a warning to 500 00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:32,280 Speaker 1: for the penile fracture section. I and I can probably 501 00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:36,200 Speaker 1: speak for most males physically felt those pains during that section. 502 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:38,400 Speaker 1: I was out for a nice stroll in the beautiful 503 00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:41,440 Speaker 1: spring morning weather here in Arizona, but noticed my face 504 00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:44,840 Speaker 1: wincing in pain as you were describing this afterwards. It 505 00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:46,600 Speaker 1: did make for a good laugh when I told my 506 00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:51,040 Speaker 1: wife that she needed to listen to the eggplant episode. UM. 507 00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,560 Speaker 1: I do also have to share an experience from the 508 00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:57,840 Speaker 1: following day. I was listening to Monster DC Snipers, and 509 00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:01,160 Speaker 1: instead of being serious and intense while listening, I actually 510 00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,640 Speaker 1: started laughing out loud when I heard Lauren's voice as 511 00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:11,760 Speaker 1: one of the voice actors, because I automatically heard bacteria poop. Lauren, 512 00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:15,600 Speaker 1: you need a trademark that or something, but like in 513 00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:17,920 Speaker 1: a kind way where you don't charge anybody. You're just 514 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:22,040 Speaker 1: like associated with it. Yeah, yeah, I think I already am. 515 00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:25,640 Speaker 1: I mean that's true. We just need a legal document, 516 00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:28,920 Speaker 1: we do, we do? Yeah, I'll call m a lawyer 517 00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:33,720 Speaker 1: about that one. Yeah. Yeah, for for for anyone. Uh. 518 00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:37,560 Speaker 1: I I feel like possibly that the crossover audience for 519 00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:40,840 Speaker 1: Savor and any of the that the Monster seasons might 520 00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:43,440 Speaker 1: be might be a small section of a of a 521 00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:47,000 Speaker 1: ven diagram crossover kind of thing. Um but uh or 522 00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:49,440 Speaker 1: I don't know, like like like y'all true crime listeners 523 00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:52,760 Speaker 1: are everywhere. It's always it's always a really impressive to me. 524 00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:55,760 Speaker 1: Um but yeah, so I yeah, I I guessed it on. 525 00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:59,240 Speaker 1: I think just one episode of DC Snipers as like 526 00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:02,800 Speaker 1: a storical lawyer, like I got to listen to the 527 00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:07,360 Speaker 1: lady's real voice from from court recordings and try to 528 00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,880 Speaker 1: vaguely replicate that. But at a certain point, I'm I'm 529 00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:15,160 Speaker 1: not I'm not an actor, and it was it was 530 00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,600 Speaker 1: a very it was it was a very different day 531 00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:22,520 Speaker 1: of recording for me. I'm compared to joking off around 532 00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:27,800 Speaker 1: about food and random nineties movies. Yeah, yeah, there was 533 00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:33,200 Speaker 1: very little of that in those court documents. So well, yeah, surprise, surprise. 534 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:37,560 Speaker 1: Apologies to all the dudes out there that might upset 535 00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:42,760 Speaker 1: with our penile fracture discussion and eggplan episode, uh noted.

My husband sent me 550 00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,400 Speaker 1: a link to an upcoming event at our local natural 551 00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:46,120 Speaker 1: science museum and what do I see but snail love darts, Lauren. 552 00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:48,000 Speaker 1: If we get tickets, I'll make sure to find out 553 00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:50,600 Speaker 1: all I can and report back. If y'all ever feel 554 00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:54,120 Speaker 1: like doing a chickpea or bean episode or two parter, 555 00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:58,080 Speaker 1: I'd like to shout out my two favorite bean based desserts, 556 00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:02,560 Speaker 1: Navy Bean pie and Jordan's Chickpeas instead of Jordan Almans. 557 00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:05,240 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I've been lucky enough to try both while 558 00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:09,160 Speaker 1: researching special event meals for work. Sninkerdoodle Hummus is a 559 00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:12,200 Speaker 1: student favorite on campus. I'm also a fan of tayaki 560 00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:14,840 Speaker 1: and on pun and a red bean ice cream, but 561 00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:17,520 Speaker 1: it's been a while since I've had those. It's been 562 00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:21,160 Speaker 1: amazing to listen to the podcast over the years. Yes, 563 00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:28,560 Speaker 1: I love everything about that love guards. Oh wow. And 564 00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:31,880 Speaker 1: and Leslie wrote in with an update snail darts update. 565 00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:34,680 Speaker 1: It turned out to be a throw dodgeballs at a 566 00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:38,240 Speaker 1: target type game and I got absolutely crushed. I guess 567 00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:44,440 Speaker 1: I'm not competitive snail. Well, don't give up, Leslie, because 568 00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:49,160 Speaker 1: you know I got a practice at these things you do. 569 00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:52,360 Speaker 1: I think I think you could be a competitive snail 570 00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:54,560 Speaker 1: one day, you know, if you want to. You know, 571 00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:56,480 Speaker 1: if you want to, you have to. Might not be 572 00:34:56,560 --> 00:35:03,319 Speaker 1: for you, But I also I can't. I don't have 573 00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:05,760 Speaker 1: I ever mentioned this on the show any Maybe you remember, 574 00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:11,319 Speaker 1: like after we did the episode on snails, Um, I 575 00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:16,000 Speaker 1: obtained a couple of pet snails. Um, I don't think 576 00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:20,920 Speaker 1: you I've mentioned this on the show. Yeah, aquatic aquatic snails. Um. 577 00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:26,399 Speaker 1: I I kind of inherited aquarium from one of our 578 00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:29,280 Speaker 1: coworkers and um it came with a couple of snails 579 00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:32,440 Speaker 1: that sadly did not make it through the transition to 580 00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:34,880 Speaker 1: to a new home. But um, but since then, I 581 00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:39,640 Speaker 1: have I have two thriving snails named Felix, and noodle 582 00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:49,000 Speaker 1: and they're so weird and I love them so intensely. 583 00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:56,479 Speaker 1: I love getting your updates about them, the pictures of them. 584 00:35:56,520 --> 00:36:02,759 Speaker 1: It's the best. Um. Yeah. And and I realized after 585 00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:05,160 Speaker 1: I got them home that that one is orange and 586 00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:08,000 Speaker 1: one is gray. Um, and the two cats that that 587 00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,240 Speaker 1: that are my roommates cats. But they're the household cats 588 00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:13,640 Speaker 1: you know, are also orange and gray, and so it's 589 00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:18,719 Speaker 1: just it's cuteness and bounds. Do you think they have 590 00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:21,839 Speaker 1: like a connection, the gray stale and the gray cat. 591 00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:24,680 Speaker 1: You know, I kind of think they do. I feel 592 00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:27,719 Speaker 1: like their personalities are are pretty well in alignment as 593 00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:31,480 Speaker 1: far as um, you know, a mammal and a mollusk 594 00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:39,000 Speaker 1: can have personalities in alignment. Um. Also, uh, they recently 595 00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:43,040 Speaker 1: laid a big old sack of eggs, so so that's 596 00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:48,520 Speaker 1: a new adventure. Um, I be a snail grandparent. Yep, yep, 597 00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:53,400 Speaker 1: I guess so that I was unprepared for this potential eventuality. Um. 598 00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:57,719 Speaker 1: But because they're not hermaphroditic snails there um oh, I 599 00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:00,400 Speaker 1: I'm forgetting the word. But but yeah, that you need 600 00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:02,480 Speaker 1: a male and a female to do the thing. And 601 00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:04,680 Speaker 1: I guess I guess one of them is each of 602 00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:09,120 Speaker 1: those things. I still don't know which one. Again, we 603 00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:13,000 Speaker 1: are a food show. Um, I love that conversation can 604 00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:16,920 Speaker 1: go this way. Well, please keep the updates coming. I 605 00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:21,640 Speaker 1: gotta know about these babies. I really hope they're going 606 00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:24,720 Speaker 1: to be okay, and or that all of my friends 607 00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:30,319 Speaker 1: who have aquariums um want some snails because they lay 608 00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:33,560 Speaker 1: never her like I've heard of please adopt my kittens, 609 00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:37,480 Speaker 1: please adopt my puppies. This is my first time of 610 00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:41,279 Speaker 1: please adopt my snails. And it's beautiful, so thank you 611 00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:44,560 Speaker 1: for that. Annie. They lay eggs acts of fifty to 612 00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:52,280 Speaker 1: two hundred. I only have a twenty gallant tank. Fifty 613 00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:57,040 Speaker 1: to two hundred is quite a wide range. How many 614 00:37:57,080 --> 00:38:00,720 Speaker 1: friends do you have? Oh not, you didn't two hundred 615 00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:05,160 Speaker 1: who want snails? Certainly not. I will see, we'll see 616 00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:08,000 Speaker 1: what their survival rate is. Like I, oh my gosh, 617 00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:12,520 Speaker 1: I'm in over my snail head. Oh it's okay. Anyway. Anyway, 618 00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:19,759 Speaker 1: we are a food podcast, just true, But I a 619 00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:22,520 Speaker 1: snail talk all the time. Snail stuff A little aside 620 00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:30,200 Speaker 1: snail stuff. So moving on from snail stuff now we 621 00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:33,200 Speaker 1: have one that we wanted to end on about food 622 00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:37,479 Speaker 1: banks and soup kitchens. Um Shannon wrote, it was great 623 00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:39,400 Speaker 1: to hear you all talk about food banks, pantries, and 624 00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:42,040 Speaker 1: soup kitchens. I work in an urban school that has 625 00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:45,320 Speaker 1: a small food pantry, and it is an absolute necessity 626 00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:48,200 Speaker 1: for many of our students and community members, especially in 627 00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:50,600 Speaker 1: times like these. It is especially important that those who 628 00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:53,319 Speaker 1: can donate and volunteer in order to support these food 629 00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:55,799 Speaker 1: banks and pantries. As you were talking about this, though, 630 00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:58,319 Speaker 1: I was disappointed that you all didn't mention something that 631 00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:01,040 Speaker 1: is still an incredibly popular at the event, but not 632 00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:05,800 Speaker 1: super helpful to food banks and pantries, the canned food drive. 633 00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:08,560 Speaker 1: I don't know if you came across this in your research, 634 00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:10,920 Speaker 1: but although canned food drives are nice because they give 635 00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:13,040 Speaker 1: food to people in need, they are not as helpful 636 00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:15,560 Speaker 1: as they might seem. The food collective events like these 637 00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:18,080 Speaker 1: is typically random and food from the back of people's pantries. 638 00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:21,399 Speaker 1: This can lead to expiration, storage, and nutrition issues at 639 00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:24,319 Speaker 1: the food bank. Food banks typically get food for much 640 00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:27,600 Speaker 1: less than its retail price, including produce and protein slash 641 00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:30,719 Speaker 1: meat from grocery stores and stockpiles around the country, which 642 00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:32,840 Speaker 1: is needed in order to create nutritious mal kits and 643 00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:35,640 Speaker 1: food boxes. Like I said earlier, it's not that canned 644 00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:38,680 Speaker 1: food gives aren't helpful. They are. It's just that the 645 00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:42,200 Speaker 1: impact for monetary donations is so much greater. As the 646 00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:44,759 Speaker 1: director of our food pantry said once, a fifty cent 647 00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:46,800 Speaker 1: can of beans can go to one family, but we 648 00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:48,919 Speaker 1: can stretch that fifty cents to get at least three 649 00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:51,799 Speaker 1: cans of beans for three families. Please just give us 650 00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:54,359 Speaker 1: fifty cents, like I said, Not sure if you came 651 00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:56,239 Speaker 1: across this in your research, but want to make sure 652 00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:58,560 Speaker 1: to share in case you hadn't.
