Speaker 2: Sadie wants to know family Christmas traditions.
Speaker 3: Oh Christmas traditions. So my uncle's birthday is like a
Speaker 3: few days before Christmas. We always go out to eat
Speaker 3: for his birthday, just like at a restaurant Christmas Eve.
Speaker 3: We always we go to my mom's house now and
Speaker 3: it's her mom, my mom's side of the family, like
Speaker 3: all of hers. Christmas Day is when I see my dad.
Speaker 1: Lots of split family situations, split family. I probably loved
Speaker 1: it as a kid, Yeah, I mean, as I did.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just yeah, it's it's fun. It's different though,
Speaker 3: Like I said, I guess in part one when I
Speaker 3: said that, because it was like my grandpa, we'd have
Speaker 3: a party, we'd go to my grandpa's house Christmas Day.
Speaker 3: But he is no longer here, so and my dad
Speaker 3: doesn't live in Wichita anymore. So he's an hour and
Speaker 3: al he's like an hour and a half away, Okay,
Speaker 3: kind of not my tipeek.
Speaker 1: Like Emporia kind of a little bit.
Speaker 3: You get off the highway and then you go east.
Speaker 1: So so we're.
Speaker 3: Still so it's funny you don't have to go that far,
Speaker 3: and so we're we're honestly trying to like figure that
Speaker 3: out what to do now. So we don't even have
Speaker 3: really a tradition in that it's either I go to
Speaker 3: his house or he comes and stops by for a
Speaker 3: little bit.
Speaker 2: So yeah, it could be a new one this year.
Speaker 2: Yah of the new uh huh, and then always meeting
Speaker 2: a fun like maybe your guys. His new tradition could
Speaker 2: be meeting in fun random cities in Kansas. I like that,
Speaker 2: like a random small town and eating a cafe. Oh
Speaker 2: my gosh, I love a small town cafe.
Speaker 3: Yes, that would be really fun. I did that once,
Speaker 3: visited him and we went to like this random and
Speaker 3: it was like super like I don't know, just all
Speaker 3: the decorations and stuff. It was like country, like a
Speaker 3: country cafe.
Speaker 1: It's so good.
Speaker 3: It was awesome.
Speaker 1: Okay, hey, just throwing it out there. Help you out
Speaker 1: with that new tradition.
Speaker 3: It's yours.
Speaker 1: Oh is this for you too?
Speaker 3: Or just me?
Speaker 1: I can answer it because you just go for it.
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna go into it. Really.
Speaker 2: My parents are are still together, so we always do
Speaker 2: Typically Christmas Eve, we go to one of the church
Speaker 2: services and then we will play game.
Speaker 1: So it's typically our game night. After that, Christmas Eve.
Speaker 2: Is and then Christmas Day everybody's all cooking us a
Speaker 2: little different this year because I'm the last remaining.
Speaker 1: Not married one. My poor parents are like, sorry, Morgan,
Speaker 1: you got out with us.
Speaker 2: Everybody's normally like used to be. Obviously, we were all
Speaker 2: there in the morning, bright and early. We do stockings
Speaker 2: in the whole shebang would last all day, even like
Speaker 2: my older sisters got married. But now that my other
Speaker 2: sister's also married, it's just me remaining. So I get
Speaker 2: a sleep in Christmas morning.
Speaker 3: Okay, so your sister she's just gonna beat her house.
Speaker 1: Well, so we're making that they'll all into being over.
Speaker 2: But they all come start to kind of trickle in
Speaker 2: noonish throughout like the little morning afternoon kind of part.
Speaker 2: But so the morning used to be, we'd be a at
Speaker 2: like seven am, bright and early. Now I getta like
Speaker 2: leisurely wake up, like what's going on, Maybe makes myself
Speaker 2: some random breakfast, probably send them enrolled and some of
Speaker 2: my dad always makes and hang out for a little
Speaker 2: bit and we might take all the the tribe of
Speaker 2: dogs that my parents have. Three I've Remy and then
Speaker 2: last year I took Hazel as well. We went on
Speaker 2: like a morning walk, all of us. So we did
Speaker 2: that and then we eat like a Christmas lunch and
Speaker 2: late lunch, and then Mom always makes her homemade red
Speaker 2: velvet cake. We always have that after lunch. Well, open
Speaker 2: presence kind of sporadically through the day. I think we're
Speaker 2: starting to get away from that though, as we all
Speaker 2: get older. We still have my niece and nephew and
Speaker 2: they may open some. But it's gotten to the point
Speaker 2: where all we're like, what do you want?
Speaker 1: Tell us what you want?
Speaker 2: And now we're like, why are we doing this? I know,
Speaker 2: so we're in that position of life right now.
Speaker 1: So yeah, and then we hang out and then at
Speaker 1: some point everybody leaves and then it's me, mom and dad.
Speaker 3: It's so weird, how like it's changed. Like we used
Speaker 3: to want to get up at like six am. Oh god,
Speaker 3: It's like it's like ten o'clock. I'm rolling out of bed.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Like I would be writing letters to Santa.
Speaker 2: We left cookies out. We'd feed the reindeer in the
Speaker 2: front yard, you know, those poor radier getting bed at
Speaker 2: our house anymore. Thankfully, other houses are probably picking up
Speaker 2: the slack.
Speaker 1: You should still do it, feed the reindeer.
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure my dad would kill me because I
Speaker 2: you know, he always had to go help the reindeer.
Speaker 1: Pick that up.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, Okay.
Speaker 2: Well, he's like, I, you know, the raindeers didn't eat
Speaker 2: it all Morgan, so I'm gonna have to pick this up.
Speaker 1: He's like, you can't do that anymore.
Speaker 3: No more, there's.
Speaker 1: Those okay are you guys?

Speaker 2: on me to hold it for her when they were
Speaker 2: in town.
Speaker 1: And I as I get this thing off my finger,
Speaker 1: I like panicked. I was like, I don't like this.

Speaker 2: mom was like, really more of the specialty recipes. Like
Speaker 2: she always made the potato soup or the cakes or
Speaker 2: our breads, like she always had the fun thing that
Speaker 2: my dad was more of the like every day kind
Speaker 2: of Okay, are you cooking or sometimes you like find
Speaker 2: your entry.
Speaker 3: I like that.
Speaker 1: That's more me.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you can't it.
Speaker 2: Fin for yourself is what you call it. Always like
Speaker 2: fin for yourself night having more often than not.
Speaker 3: That's awesome. Mine's like a three ingredient. That's that's my
Speaker 3: favorite recipe.
Speaker 2: Well, you can also cook like how you had to
Speaker 2: cook for me was like mac and cheese, mashed potatoes,
Speaker 2: grilled cheese, cheesecasias.
Speaker 1: That was like my four main food group.
Speaker 3: I make a lot of mac and cheese.
Speaker 1: See a lot.
Speaker 3: Now go out of the box.
Speaker 2: Okay, this is how you This is how you start cooking, though, Abby.
Speaker 2: You take something that you already like cooking, right, like
Speaker 2: a mac and cheese, a very easy one, and you
Speaker 2: start to elevate that dish and you perfect the one
Speaker 2: that you really like and already know you like, like,
Speaker 2: maybe try like another version of the noodle. Maybe try
Speaker 2: getting like frozen pasta from twitder Joe's and making your
Speaker 2: own sauce.
Speaker 1: That's good. Then you evolve to like different news and
Speaker 1: then making your own mac and cheese.
Speaker 2: Right, So that's how you start to get into cooking
Speaker 2: more is fud things that you already like making and
Speaker 2: find a way to elevate it in like a homemade way.
Speaker 1: I like it, and then you can evolve past that.
Speaker 1: But that's how you start.
Speaker 3: Oh, I made him a beef and veggie stew and
Speaker 3: he loved it. Okay, it's I'll tell you what it is,
Speaker 3: becau it's good. I know you don't like beef, but
Speaker 3: you could, I don't know, maybe try something else, but like.
Speaker 1: Beef stew stew or stew beef.
Speaker 3: Without the meat and try that. So stop, Okay, everything
Speaker 3: I tell you. Just take out the beef.
Speaker 1: Share your recipe. It's your favorite recipe.
Speaker 3: Stew, beef, beef broth, cabbage, mixed frozen veggies like peas, corn,
Speaker 3: green beans, potatoes, a zucchini and squash, yellow squash and onion,
Speaker 3: and you just put all that in a big old
Speaker 3: pot like a crockpot or on the pot on the stove.
Speaker 3: You could probably do it in a crock pot, but
Speaker 3: I've never done that. You just have to cook the
Speaker 3: beef for a while longer, and then you add all
Speaker 3: the other things in let it all cook up, and
Speaker 3: it's delicious, so good.
Speaker 1: So I could have a veggie stew.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you could do you have you know you don't
Speaker 3: do beef.
Speaker 1: Broth, then no, I do veggie broth.
Speaker 3: Okay, so, oh my gosh, should probably be really good. Still,
Speaker 3: I do love a.
Speaker 1: Veggie passa or veggie veggie soup. Words hard, okay, but
Speaker 1: that sounds really good.
Speaker 3: It's so good.
Speaker 1: Okay. How long do you cook it for on the
Speaker 1: stove in case someone wants to make it?
Speaker 3: Okay, so just make sure like the beef is browned
Speaker 3: and cooking. Okay, I'm so good at this, And then
Speaker 3: I sound like such a professional. And then you pour
Speaker 3: in like half of the beef broth and like a
Speaker 3: cup of water, and you let that just like kind
Speaker 3: of boil in there. And then I put some onions
Speaker 3: in it, okay, And then you add the potatoes and
Speaker 3: like the frozen veggies and the squash, and you let
Speaker 3: that cook probably like thirty minutes. I kind of just
Speaker 3: keep mixing it in there. And then you add the
Speaker 3: cabbage last, because that cooks super fast.
Speaker 1: And then you add the beef. The beef was first, okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: I thought you were cooking that separately.
Speaker 3: Oh sorry, Oh yeah, no, that's just already in there, okay,
Speaker 3: and with the beef broth, and then you start adding
Speaker 3: everything else and then add more beef broth. There's just
Speaker 3: one packet or I want to put it out box
Speaker 3: of broth.
Speaker 1: Got it.
Speaker 3: Probably wasn't that great to explain it.
Speaker 1: No, you dig better. I I oh that was on me.
Speaker 3: Did great because I don't really have like the timing.
Speaker 3: I just kind of do it as I'm like, okay,
Speaker 3: I think that I try a piece of the beaf.
Speaker 3: I'm like, okay, it's ready. Now start adding everything else
Speaker 3: and let it cook.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's a really good, well speaking, it is soup season,
Speaker 2: stew season, soup season season. I have a baked potato
Speaker 2: soup recipe that's my mom's that she has always made
Speaker 2: this so good homemade potato soup.
Speaker 3: Please tell us because I broke into it at your house,
Speaker 3: but like you can have some like yeah, plate, yes, please,
Speaker 3: it was so good. I'm not kidding.
Speaker 2: I even told you to add toalt and pepper because
Speaker 2: I didn't feel like it added enough. And you're like no,
Speaker 2: it was so good that I may have a problem
Speaker 2: with seasons. Oh good, I'm glad you liked it. I
Speaker 2: had posted that recipe last year. I did like a
Speaker 2: Food World holiday series, and I wanted to this year,
Speaker 2: but like guys, my life is crazy.
