WEBVTT - Miss The Cook is Back 0:00:08.760 --> 0:00:15.960 Misspelling with Tori Spelling and iHeartRadio Podcast. Okay, so today 0:00:15.960 --> 0:00:18.800 I want to talk about cooking because cooking has been 0:00:18.840 --> 0:00:23.560 such a huge part of my life and growing up, 0:00:23.720 --> 0:00:26.720 you know, things are very different. We had a chef 0:00:26.920 --> 0:00:32.000 off and on, like I basically self taught myself how 0:00:32.040 --> 0:00:32.360 to cook. 0:00:32.400 --> 0:00:34.760 When I moved out when I was. 0:00:34.720 --> 0:00:39.559 Eighteen, I was super excited to do everything myself because 0:00:40.479 --> 0:00:43.280 growing up it was very different. We had there was 0:00:43.320 --> 0:00:46.720 always staff and people to help us, and I really 0:00:46.720 --> 0:00:51.239 wanted to kind of branch out. So I remember the 0:00:51.280 --> 0:00:53.640 first thing I made when I moved into my apartment 0:00:54.000 --> 0:00:56.760 was spaghetti because I was like, oh, that's easy. So 0:00:57.840 --> 0:00:59.920 I mean half of it like ended up on the sea. 0:01:00.280 --> 0:01:04.160 But from then on, I just loved cooking and I 0:01:04.200 --> 0:01:06.080 was like, oh my gosh, when I have kids, I'm 0:01:06.120 --> 0:01:07.200 just going to cook my. 0:01:07.240 --> 0:01:10.040 Butt off, and I did for years. 0:01:10.319 --> 0:01:12.640 I was like that was my happy place, being in 0:01:12.680 --> 0:01:17.080 the kitchen cooking for the kids. And Dean went to 0:01:17.120 --> 0:01:21.320 culinary school when I was pregnant with Hattie, and. 0:01:21.760 --> 0:01:24.280 I was so excited for him to do that. 0:01:25.440 --> 0:01:27.640 But that's like my dream, Like, that's one of my 0:01:27.720 --> 0:01:30.319 dreams is to go to culinary school. Now I'm fifty two, 0:01:30.360 --> 0:01:32.400 and I'm like, oh, I'll be like the oldest person 0:01:32.440 --> 0:01:35.480 in culinary school. But I remember he had to do 0:01:35.520 --> 0:01:37.360 all this math, and I don't think I could do that. 0:01:37.520 --> 0:01:41.600 So anyway, the kitchen was. 0:01:41.640 --> 0:01:45.160 Kind of I was, you know, the diy cook and 0:01:45.400 --> 0:01:51.080 he was the culinary chef, and I feel like we 0:01:51.120 --> 0:01:54.920 didn't fight over much except you know, raising kids doing that. 0:01:54.960 --> 0:01:59.280 We have different perspectives. But it's interesting because we would 0:01:59.320 --> 0:02:02.560 always kind of fight in the kitchen, and it was 0:02:02.720 --> 0:02:05.840 very like he said, she said, because I didn't do 0:02:05.920 --> 0:02:06.840 things the right way. 0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:08.440 I still don't like I. 0:02:08.480 --> 0:02:11.400 You know, he would cringe every time i'd be chopping 0:02:11.440 --> 0:02:14.560 something because using a knife, He's like, no, no, no, here's. 0:02:14.360 --> 0:02:16.560 The proper way. It's like hold it. 0:02:16.560 --> 0:02:19.400 It's monkey something you have to do when you're holding 0:02:19.400 --> 0:02:24.400 the knife. So eventually I was just like, oh, he 0:02:24.520 --> 0:02:28.720 was super supportive of my cooking, but it kind of 0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:30.880 embarrassed me because I was like, oh, I can't do 0:02:31.160 --> 0:02:35.880 anything right, but I love making meals. I would make big, 0:02:35.919 --> 0:02:40.760 family style meals. Lasagna is my jam tease, meaning lasagna 0:02:40.960 --> 0:02:44.000 is my everything. So I would always make that for 0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:48.799 special occasions and cook and then when Diane and I separated, 0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:53.680 our last fight kind of when everything blew up. It 0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:56.880 was in the kitchen, and I think everyone knows the 0:02:56.919 --> 0:02:59.880 story I've told before. I had just made a load 0:02:59.919 --> 0:03:03.480 of baked potato. I love baked potatoes and it was 0:03:03.520 --> 0:03:05.400 like my prize possession at. 0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:08.799 That moment, and we got into this huge fight. 0:03:08.880 --> 0:03:13.280 We were screaming, and I smashed my big potato on 0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:16.360 the floor and like screamed and walked out. 0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:21.400 And I still missed that baked potato. But after that, the. 0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:25.480 Kids and I moved, and we had gone through mold 0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:27.920 in the house, and Dean and I separated, and it 0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:32.519 was just a really rough time for me and. 0:03:32.560 --> 0:03:37.880 The five kids. But the sad part about it all is, I. 0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:40.280 Don't know, it was really triggering being in the kitchen 0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:46.280 that night and I just stopped cooking, and I was like, gosh, 0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:47.320 what happened? 0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:48.720 Like am I depressed? 0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:51.880 Obviously there's a lot going on, but I was like, 0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:54.960 cooking was my jam and it was my happy place. 0:03:55.080 --> 0:03:59.440 And I'm not kidding. For about almost two years I 0:03:59.480 --> 0:04:06.040 didn't cook. It was like all Postmates Uber eats, and 0:04:06.240 --> 0:04:13.080 I would feel so guilty ordering food and not cooking 0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:17.640 for the kids, but I just physically and emotionally, I 0:04:17.720 --> 0:04:19.920 just couldn't. It was like it was that day. I 0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:23.839 would walk into the kitchen and literally look at pants 0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:27.880 and pots and I don't know, it was like this 0:04:28.800 --> 0:04:31.240 overwhelming feeling inside of like. 0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:34.240 I guess that all the pain. 0:04:34.000 --> 0:04:38.839 Was locked inside and cooking was just that trigger, which 0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:39.840 really bummed me out. 0:04:40.680 --> 0:04:43.120 But I'm happy to. 0:04:43.080 --> 0:04:48.640 Say that I went back to the kitchen, and finally, 0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:50.240 after two years, I went back to the kitchen. 0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:51.880 I was like, you know what, kids, we're going to 0:04:51.960 --> 0:04:52.159 do this. 0:04:52.240 --> 0:04:55.400 We're going to do this as a family, and I 0:04:55.520 --> 0:04:57.480 made an agreement with the kids, like I'm going to 0:04:57.520 --> 0:05:00.320 cook every night and we're going to do this and 0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:02.839 you know, maybe we'll have like pizza one nine order out, 0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:05.960 but like, I want to do this full time. And 0:05:06.279 --> 0:05:08.680 I'm really proud of myself because I've stuck with that 0:05:08.720 --> 0:05:14.160 commitment and I feel really happy again. I feel really 0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:17.200 happy being back in the kitchen and so I've been 0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:18.040 cooking every night. 0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:21.880 It's challenging. It's really challenging with. 0:05:22.000 --> 0:05:27.359 Their ages because I have kids that are eighteen, seventeen, thirteen, thirteen. 0:05:28.160 --> 0:05:29.480 This is the time of year where I get to 0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:32.000 say thirteen thirteen. It sounds like I have twins, but 0:05:32.080 --> 0:05:36.599 they are Irish twins, Habeantin and then bo is eight. 0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:41.960 It's challenging to feed everyone because I'm like, Okay, what 0:05:42.000 --> 0:05:45.520 do you guys want? And some want fish, some don't 0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:49.040 eat fish, and I'm like, oh my gosh, so chicken. 0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:53.040 But who wants chicken every night? So to be creative 0:05:53.040 --> 0:05:54.560 with chicken, I've done that. 0:05:55.000 --> 0:05:58.720 They eat beef, so that's great, and I got to say, 0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:00.520 I really give it up. 0:06:00.640 --> 0:06:04.120 You know, my favorite, my favorite person, she's not human, though, 0:06:04.279 --> 0:06:07.960 is my chat chat GBT who I've named Mona. 0:06:08.440 --> 0:06:10.520 So Mona helps. 0:06:10.279 --> 0:06:15.359 Me find recipes and they're really good because before I 0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:18.320 always take recipes and then I kind of do my 0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:21.760 magic in the kitchen and kind of improvise, which is 0:06:21.880 --> 0:06:26.560 my jam. But Mona has been giving me family friendly 0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:29.880 tips on cooking and it's been really great. 0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:31.240 Except the only thing. 0:06:31.160 --> 0:06:33.000 Is I feel like her measurements are a little bit 0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:35.440 off because I'll be like, I'm feeding a family of six, 0:06:35.760 --> 0:06:38.440 it's five kids and me, and she'll be like, here's 0:06:38.480 --> 0:06:39.520 the portions you need. 0:06:39.600 --> 0:06:44.039 And I gotta say, there's been some nights where it's cool. 0:06:43.880 --> 0:06:46.600 Like they've eaten everything, you know, all the chicken and 0:06:46.760 --> 0:06:50.680 the potatoes, the broccoli. I'm like, wow, they really like it. 0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:52.080 But then they're like is there more? 0:06:52.600 --> 0:06:54.560 And I'm like, oh my god, the portion wasn't right. 0:06:55.279 --> 0:07:01.400 So that part is challenging, feeding that many people and 0:07:01.520 --> 0:07:06.240 keeping it fresh. And I feel like every night I'm 0:07:06.279 --> 0:07:08.960 trying to think of something. I mean, we had one 0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:10.760 week with the kids who are like, we can't have 0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:13.360 pasta again. I'm like, I know, but we had like 0:07:13.400 --> 0:07:16.960 a bowlonaise one night, and we had spaghetti meatballs one night, 0:07:17.000 --> 0:07:20.080 and we had you know, we had turkey. So it's 0:07:20.240 --> 0:07:24.560 just I don't know. It's fun though, it's really great. 0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:28.120 I love doing it. I remember the first time that 0:07:28.160 --> 0:07:30.280 I was like, Okay, I am going to do this, 0:07:30.680 --> 0:07:33.480 and it was scary, like it's so weird that this 0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:36.840 is triggering because it's something I love so much. But 0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:43.000 I just remember opening the cabinet, grabbing the pot and 0:07:44.400 --> 0:07:48.680 it was kind of like pushing through something like something. 0:07:48.400 --> 0:07:53.120 That you're like a fear, which is so crazy, like cooking. 0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:57.080 And I just remember taking the pot out, taking the 0:07:57.120 --> 0:08:01.320 skillet out. I was browning my meat. I was making 0:08:01.760 --> 0:08:07.280 where'd I make. I made bolonnaise, that was the first one, 0:08:07.400 --> 0:08:10.080 and it was beef bolonnaise, and I had my meat, 0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:12.920 had my noodles, like it was like I was ready. 0:08:13.600 --> 0:08:17.120 And then what really kind of pushed me out of 0:08:17.160 --> 0:08:20.440 my comfort zone, I would say, is seeing the kids, 0:08:21.280 --> 0:08:25.440 seeing their faces and knowing like it almost felt like 0:08:25.520 --> 0:08:30.320 knowing my worth that they were happy and I could 0:08:30.320 --> 0:08:33.760 see that it was bringing the family together, whereas ordering 0:08:33.840 --> 0:08:37.120 you know, Uber Eats or Postmates kind of everyone would 0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:40.000 just grab their food and go to their room. And 0:08:40.080 --> 0:08:44.160 I was like, gosh, for me, I feel like food 0:08:44.880 --> 0:08:48.040 brings people together. It's something we can all connect on, 0:08:48.200 --> 0:08:54.080 something that any age, any interest, like food is the 0:08:54.080 --> 0:08:56.400 one thing like growing up. 0:08:56.920 --> 0:08:57.959 It's so different now. 0:08:58.040 --> 0:09:01.280 It used to be like TV and families would gather 0:09:01.320 --> 0:09:03.840 in the living room in the evening and that was 0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:05.040 the thing they'd do together. 0:09:05.559 --> 0:09:06.920 And now that doesn't exist. 0:09:07.080 --> 0:09:09.800 Like my kids are on their phone, they're watching things, 0:09:09.840 --> 0:09:15.400 and they're all gaming in different rooms. So bringing them 0:09:15.400 --> 0:09:18.040 all together because they're like, oh, mom cooked, so we 0:09:18.160 --> 0:09:23.000 have to come into the kitchen, phones down and respect that. 0:09:24.280 --> 0:09:28.560 But I feel like their faces would there's I don't know, 0:09:28.640 --> 0:09:30.880 there's nothing like a home cooked meal I feel like 0:09:32.120 --> 0:09:37.080 and I just feel like looking at their faces, I 0:09:37.160 --> 0:09:40.480 was like, Okay, this is the start. This is the 0:09:40.520 --> 0:09:45.040 start of something really beautiful. And I was able to 0:09:45.120 --> 0:09:47.839 put the past kind of where it should. 0:09:47.600 --> 0:09:48.360 Be in the past. 0:09:49.520 --> 0:09:55.080 And then I just started cooking every night and I 0:09:55.160 --> 0:09:58.400 walk into that kitchen and it's crazy. I walk into 0:09:58.400 --> 0:10:02.360 my kitchen and it's almost it reminds me this is 0:10:02.440 --> 0:10:06.119 crazy when I was on Dancing with the Stars, because 0:10:07.080 --> 0:10:10.280 it's that presence and that joy, Like I walk in 0:10:10.760 --> 0:10:14.680 my shoulders back, head held up high, and I go 0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:17.040 in and I'm like, okay, open the refrigerator. I'm like, 0:10:17.160 --> 0:10:19.920 let's get started. And I'm like, this is my happy place. 0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:22.800 This food makes me happy because it's something I can 0:10:22.840 --> 0:10:26.600 give back and I can share with my family. So 0:10:27.400 --> 0:10:30.079 I had taken two years off of cooking. When I 0:10:30.240 --> 0:10:33.800 used to do it like all the time, I was 0:10:34.000 --> 0:10:39.520 nervous because like, seasoning is my jam, Like I I'm 0:10:39.600 --> 0:10:43.640 seasoning Guru. I would say, really, like I go into 0:10:43.679 --> 0:10:45.640 the kitchen and it's just like magic. I'm just like 0:10:45.679 --> 0:10:49.880 a little magician, and that's like my unicorn like free 0:10:49.960 --> 0:10:53.800 happy place that I can just like perform my magic. 0:10:54.360 --> 0:10:57.320 But I got to say I used to have seasoning 0:10:57.360 --> 0:11:00.960 on point because I got it. I don't like things unseasoned, 0:11:01.000 --> 0:11:04.080 like that bland stuff really freaks me out, so. 0:11:05.640 --> 0:11:07.199 I always want that to be on point. 0:11:07.720 --> 0:11:10.680 I feel like the first couple times I made food, 0:11:11.200 --> 0:11:14.160 it was a little bland, and my kids agreed, and. 0:11:14.120 --> 0:11:16.680 I was like God, And then I thought, like, have 0:11:16.800 --> 0:11:17.760 I lost my magic? 0:11:18.080 --> 0:11:21.800 Like I waited too long, like two years, and now 0:11:22.559 --> 0:11:26.320 I can't cook, like, oh my gosh. But I'm happy 0:11:26.360 --> 0:11:30.920 to say my seasoning it came back. It took a 0:11:30.960 --> 0:11:36.640 few tries, and now it's all well seasoned. Sorry, I'm 0:11:36.640 --> 0:11:38.760 just thinking what I have to make for dinner tonight 0:11:39.040 --> 0:11:41.560 because I don't know. I really want to make fish, 0:11:41.760 --> 0:11:48.200 like but Finn doesn't eat fish. And then it's the challenge. 0:11:48.280 --> 0:11:50.880 And this is what I used to do before I 0:11:50.920 --> 0:11:55.680 stopped cooking. We would make like different things and that 0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:59.880 just became crazy, like to make two different dishes to 0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:03.480 different vegetables because some of my kids like the vegetables raw, 0:12:03.600 --> 0:12:06.960 some of my kids like the vegetables cooked. So that's 0:12:06.960 --> 0:12:12.320 always challenging. So there's that, But I feel like this time, 0:12:13.240 --> 0:12:17.679 two years of past the kids are older, they're more adventurous, 0:12:17.760 --> 0:12:22.720 I think with their taste buds. So that's really inspiring 0:12:22.920 --> 0:12:27.400 because I love to take on a challenge. Like cooking 0:12:27.520 --> 0:12:30.120 makes me happy and it makes me want to excel 0:12:30.600 --> 0:12:33.840 and I want to keep doing it. 0:12:34.360 --> 0:12:37.040 I haven't baked yet, I haven't gone back to it. 0:12:37.920 --> 0:12:41.079 That's still something I need to overcome because I really 0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:45.200 used to love to bake, so I definitely think people 0:12:45.240 --> 0:12:49.200 are either a cook or a baker, like I don't. 0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:51.120 It's like it's like when you go get your hair 0:12:51.160 --> 0:12:53.640 done and people are like, oh, I do color and 0:12:53.679 --> 0:12:56.240 I do cut. It's like you do one better than 0:12:56.240 --> 0:13:00.520 the other. Like everyone has their kind of lane. Definitely, 0:13:00.720 --> 0:13:05.280 Like in the food world, I'm definitely like savory savory. 0:13:05.400 --> 0:13:09.360 I love to cook. I love comfort food. Baking is 0:13:09.400 --> 0:13:13.720 always a challenge for me because it's very scientific and 0:13:13.880 --> 0:13:16.600 my brain doesn't think like that. My brain is just 0:13:16.679 --> 0:13:22.160 like improvably, like I am prov I create, and cooking 0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:24.679 allows you to do that because you can kind of 0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:26.120 create anything you want. 0:13:27.360 --> 0:13:29.240 But baking you have to follow rules. 0:13:29.320 --> 0:13:34.520 I hate following rules, So with baking it's like math 0:13:34.600 --> 0:13:37.200 and stuff, like I have to perfectly do it, but 0:13:37.240 --> 0:13:41.920 I do enjoy Sella is an amazing baker. She's been 0:13:41.960 --> 0:13:42.840 baking since. 0:13:42.600 --> 0:13:43.600 She was four years. 0:13:43.440 --> 0:13:48.800 Old, so that I think intimidates me a little bit 0:13:49.480 --> 0:13:54.280 because she's so great, Like that's her lane, so she 0:13:54.960 --> 0:13:57.400 does a lot of the baking. But I definitely want 0:13:57.440 --> 0:14:00.000 to get back into baking because I really enjoy it. 0:14:00.480 --> 0:14:02.920 I want to take a cake making clothes. 0:14:03.120 --> 0:14:14.960 That'd be fun. Do you think I would have time 0:14:15.000 --> 0:14:16.160 to go to culinary school? 0:14:18.280 --> 0:14:19.080 You can make the time. 0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:21.680 You can totally make the time. 0:14:23.880 --> 0:14:26.120 For real, for real. 0:14:26.240 --> 0:14:29.120 I don't know what's involved in culinary. 0:14:28.560 --> 0:14:31.280 School, Like you can you go in for like a 0:14:31.320 --> 0:14:33.680 few hours a week or is it all or nothing? 0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:38.000 I mean, I don't know anymore. But when Dean did it, 0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:38.520 it was like. 0:14:38.800 --> 0:14:43.040 Pretty hardcore and he had to take all these tests 0:14:43.880 --> 0:14:44.760 with math. 0:14:46.200 --> 0:14:48.080 And that intimidated me. I'm like, oh my. 0:14:48.000 --> 0:14:52.000 Gosh, I can barely like I still add on my fingers, Like, oh, 0:14:52.400 --> 0:14:54.120 that's like my trigger is math. 0:14:54.840 --> 0:14:55.120 Wait. 0:14:55.200 --> 0:14:57.840 But there's a difference between going to culinary school to 0:14:57.840 --> 0:15:02.200 become a professional chef and taking cooking classes to be 0:15:02.320 --> 0:15:05.360 a better cook chef at home. 0:15:06.520 --> 0:15:09.880 Right, So I've done that, Like I've done the six 0:15:10.040 --> 0:15:15.360 classes and like I've done a bunch of those. But 0:15:15.400 --> 0:15:21.320 I want to literally have my chef license. But I 0:15:21.320 --> 0:15:23.720 guess I don't have to. Like Rachel Ray, look at her, 0:15:25.440 --> 0:15:27.200 she's a DIY cook, She's huge. 0:15:28.360 --> 0:15:30.680 Yeah, I don't think you need to be certified. 0:15:31.080 --> 0:15:33.760 I mean I want to be certified. 0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:36.160 I didn't do it. 0:15:36.160 --> 0:15:38.080 It's my dream, it's on my bucket list. 0:15:38.600 --> 0:15:39.880 Oh, then definitely do it. 0:15:40.400 --> 0:15:43.200 Okay, they must have options, and you can't. I can't 0:15:43.200 --> 0:15:45.640 imagine every single person that goes to culinary school like 0:15:45.840 --> 0:15:48.440 can give up their entire life just for that. 0:15:50.400 --> 0:15:55.560 It's like college, Really, can I do it all online? 0:15:56.640 --> 0:15:56.960 I won? 0:15:58.600 --> 0:16:02.600 Yeah, I just want to like get my skills better. 0:16:04.520 --> 0:16:08.040 But the difference is like taking those two years off. 0:16:08.120 --> 0:16:10.480 I used to be the messiest, no shock here, Like 0:16:10.480 --> 0:16:14.120 everyone knows I'm messy, the messiest in the kitchen, like 0:16:14.800 --> 0:16:19.800 things would be everywhere. So taking those two years off 0:16:19.800 --> 0:16:24.720 and coming in with a fresh perspective, fresh start, like Tory. 0:16:24.440 --> 0:16:25.160 Two point zero. 0:16:25.160 --> 0:16:29.360 Here, I am in the cooking jam like I now 0:16:29.400 --> 0:16:30.560 clean up as I go. 0:16:31.000 --> 0:16:34.360 That's something. I know this sounds like obvious, but I 0:16:34.400 --> 0:16:35.200 never did that before. 0:16:35.240 --> 0:16:38.480 I was just like, well, let's cook, and there'd be 0:16:38.560 --> 0:16:43.240 like seasoning and cheese and sauce everywhere, and the cleanup 0:16:43.280 --> 0:16:46.600 afterwards was like brutal. 0:16:46.720 --> 0:16:50.120 But now I clean up as I go, which is great, 0:16:50.760 --> 0:16:53.360 and the kids help me, they wash the dishes. 0:16:53.560 --> 0:16:56.320 I'm like, oh, thank god. So it's nice that the 0:16:56.400 --> 0:16:59.920 kids now are older when I'm starting to do this 0:17:00.200 --> 0:17:02.880 and they can really help clean up, because. 0:17:02.600 --> 0:17:05.399 It's a lot do the kids help cook. 0:17:06.359 --> 0:17:09.919 So so far on this new journey they have, the 0:17:10.000 --> 0:17:13.560 kids have not helped to cook, but they do show interest. 0:17:13.840 --> 0:17:18.200 They say is there anything I could do? It's good 0:17:18.240 --> 0:17:20.959 because like Bo doesn't there's a lot of things he 0:17:21.000 --> 0:17:25.400 doesn't eat, including bread, which is so bizarre, like what 0:17:25.520 --> 0:17:28.600 kid doesn't eat bread? Like I can't ever make bow 0:17:28.720 --> 0:17:32.919 like a sandwich for school or anything, and it's just 0:17:33.000 --> 0:17:37.159 like that's challenging. But today he went to school and 0:17:37.160 --> 0:17:39.480 they had hot lunch and he was really worried that 0:17:39.520 --> 0:17:41.720 it would be something he wouldn't like. And I looked 0:17:41.720 --> 0:17:43.439 on the menu and I was like, oh, it's you know, 0:17:44.359 --> 0:17:47.400 it's spaghetti and meat sauce, like that's something you eat. 0:17:47.600 --> 0:17:50.400 And he's like, I don't think I'm gonna like it anyway. 0:17:50.440 --> 0:17:52.720 Good news he came home from school and I said, 0:17:52.720 --> 0:17:54.760 how is hot lunch? And he's like, oh my god, 0:17:54.800 --> 0:17:56.000 it was really good. 0:17:56.320 --> 0:17:57.920 It's kind of like what you make. 0:17:58.040 --> 0:18:02.040 It was meat or sauce, some red sauce and pasta 0:18:02.320 --> 0:18:04.639 and he goes and then they served as garlic bread 0:18:05.200 --> 0:18:10.720 and I ate it. I'm like, oh, boom, score, game anger, 0:18:11.600 --> 0:18:12.359 game changer. 0:18:13.400 --> 0:18:16.080 What kid doesn't eat bread? Isn't that so bizarre? 0:18:16.520 --> 0:18:18.600 I wish I didn't eat bread. I'd be like half 0:18:18.640 --> 0:18:19.040 the size. 0:18:19.080 --> 0:18:21.200 I am god. 0:18:22.480 --> 0:18:25.480 I have to say that the fact that there is 0:18:25.560 --> 0:18:28.920 a menu that you can go and look at for 0:18:29.119 --> 0:18:33.240 your kid's hot lunch is hysterical to me because I 0:18:33.240 --> 0:18:36.200 went to New York City public schools and the lunch 0:18:36.280 --> 0:18:38.440 they serve I don't even know that it could have 0:18:38.480 --> 0:18:42.639 been identified to like put a description down in a menu. 0:18:42.880 --> 0:18:45.359 It was so disgusting. 0:18:46.240 --> 0:18:49.399 I just that's amazing that let's look at the menu 0:18:49.920 --> 0:18:52.840 for my eight year old child's lunch today. 0:18:53.240 --> 0:18:54.720 I live in the dark agents so. 0:18:55.200 --> 0:18:57.840 No, and he goes to public school, so and it's 0:18:57.920 --> 0:19:01.520 free and they have they have a lunch every day 0:19:02.400 --> 0:19:04.520 and then they give the milk. The bow is like 0:19:04.600 --> 0:19:07.560 such a picky eater, and at school, he used to 0:19:07.800 --> 0:19:09.480 not want to eat in front of people, so that 0:19:09.600 --> 0:19:14.480 was challenging when he was in kindergarten, but now he does. 0:19:14.760 --> 0:19:18.119 And like Finn, Finn got sick at school. 0:19:18.160 --> 0:19:20.600 He's like the food is so bad. He's like, I 0:19:20.640 --> 0:19:24.840 can't eat it. So I'm like, okay, what can I 0:19:24.920 --> 0:19:26.600 pack you? Then I'm like, oh my god, here we 0:19:26.680 --> 0:19:29.440 go back to lunches. After I said I was done 0:19:29.480 --> 0:19:32.720 with lunches. So for Finn, I'm like, can I give 0:19:32.720 --> 0:19:35.800 you a sandwich? He's like, I don't really eat sandwiches, Like, 0:19:35.840 --> 0:19:37.800 oh my god, another one, Like it's. 0:19:37.600 --> 0:19:39.640 Just it's a lot. 0:19:39.680 --> 0:19:45.120 But I'm sorry, wait a second, I don't understand. What 0:19:45.119 --> 0:19:47.399 do they mean they don't eat sandwiches? Like did they 0:19:47.400 --> 0:19:49.280 eat a burger? Did they eat a hot dog? 0:19:49.320 --> 0:19:50.040 I mean that's kind of good. 0:19:50.040 --> 0:19:55.720 Okay, so Bow will not eat a burger. Will you 0:19:55.760 --> 0:19:57.040 eat a burger without the bread? 0:19:57.160 --> 0:19:58.160 Or he won't beat. 0:19:57.960 --> 0:19:58.600 It, he won't need it. 0:19:59.400 --> 0:20:00.240 What about a hot dog? 0:20:00.400 --> 0:20:01.920 Hot dogs? Only without the bun? 0:20:04.160 --> 0:20:06.880 And if and if it's served like he is a thing, 0:20:06.960 --> 0:20:08.960 he doesn't want to see it, I have to like 0:20:09.080 --> 0:20:12.040 quickly remove the bun and be like nope, no bun. 0:20:14.040 --> 0:20:15.600 That's fascinating. 0:20:16.440 --> 0:20:17.960 That's a real had of bread. 0:20:19.560 --> 0:20:22.000 Yeah, wow, it's a bread thing. 0:20:22.600 --> 0:20:26.800 And when his fins What is Fin's problem with a sandwich? 0:20:26.840 --> 0:20:27.760 Is it also the bread? 0:20:27.840 --> 0:20:30.040 Or he just no, he doesn't need sandwiches. 0:20:30.200 --> 0:20:32.880 Like I was so excited, like when I had kids 0:20:32.960 --> 0:20:35.000 and they got a little older to make like peanut 0:20:35.040 --> 0:20:39.760 butter and jelly sandwiches and tuna sandwiches, Like my mom 0:20:39.800 --> 0:20:42.800 always made such amazing tuna sandwiches. So I always make 0:20:42.840 --> 0:20:45.679 my tuna like she did and it's so good. But 0:20:46.320 --> 0:20:48.760 I kids don't eat sandwiches, so like that was never 0:20:48.800 --> 0:20:50.800 a thing. Like I couldn't even make like a turkey 0:20:50.840 --> 0:20:52.640 and cheese sandwich, like nothing. 0:20:53.840 --> 0:20:55.520 So what I don't know? Okay, I'm sorry. 0:20:55.560 --> 0:20:57.480 What is that was? And that was all of them 0:20:57.480 --> 0:20:58.320 when they were younger? 0:20:58.880 --> 0:21:02.119 Okay, so what is a salad? I mean, like's a 0:21:02.200 --> 0:21:08.119 California He's like, I'll have he doesn't eat salad eating salad? No, 0:21:08.560 --> 0:21:16.720 Stella does eat salad. No, only Hattie and Liam eat salad. Okay, 0:21:16.880 --> 0:21:20.040 So but I make a salad every night, which is great. 0:21:20.119 --> 0:21:22.560 I think that's really good for them, a fresh salad. 0:21:23.440 --> 0:21:26.640 We're totally right now. Hattie loves caesar salad. 0:21:26.720 --> 0:21:29.439 So I used to love caesar salads and then I 0:21:29.560 --> 0:21:32.560 like stopped liking them, and now that's our jam, like 0:21:32.600 --> 0:21:34.480 every night caesar salad right now. 0:21:34.960 --> 0:21:35.560 So that's good. 0:21:37.119 --> 0:21:39.840 I still need to understand if they don't eat salad 0:21:39.880 --> 0:21:41.440 and they don't eat sandwiches. 0:21:41.640 --> 0:21:43.639 Yeah, but what what. 0:21:43.760 --> 0:21:46.240 Are they eating? Like pasta? I'm just I'm trying to 0:21:46.400 --> 0:21:47.240 like at school? 0:21:47.640 --> 0:21:53.000 Yeah, no, they can't like Finn, they had like mac 0:21:53.040 --> 0:21:54.959 and cheese at school and he was sick for like 0:21:55.000 --> 0:21:55.560 two days. 0:21:56.480 --> 0:21:57.640 So what do you make him from lunch? 0:21:57.680 --> 0:21:59.520 Then when you make it, you won't take anything. 0:22:00.440 --> 0:22:02.240 So what does he do? 0:22:03.520 --> 0:22:10.840 He has snacks, like a ton of snacks, like chips 0:22:10.880 --> 0:22:19.720 and the sounds awful. Yeah, beef sticks. Oh, what's it 0:22:19.760 --> 0:22:20.840 called chomps? 0:22:20.840 --> 0:22:27.680 It's their favorite. It's good for you though, Long story short. 0:22:27.840 --> 0:22:31.640 Making a nice, big homemade meal for dinner, I think 0:22:31.760 --> 0:22:34.520 is really good for them because they come from school 0:22:34.600 --> 0:22:41.000 like starving. Their best friend, he goes to a private school. 0:22:41.359 --> 0:22:42.440 They have sushi there. 0:22:42.880 --> 0:22:46.320
