Oh yeah, well, will we 42 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 1: at a certain point where we have to start like 43 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 1: making up our own bizarre uh, sequel title ideas. Oh, 44 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,520 Speaker 1: I would love that. Okay, wow, I just got really 45 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 1: excited about that. Oh because I was like, we're gonna 46 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 1: be done with Star Wars and I could do like 47 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 1: a rogue one thing. There's still other Star Wars movies, 48 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:02,079 Speaker 1: but they're not like you know, the numbered one. But 49 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 1: WHOA If I could make up fake Star Wars titles 50 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 1: for listener mail puns, that would be I'm not sure 51 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,639 Speaker 1: I can think of anything better than that. That's layers, 52 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 1: that's like just puns all the way down. I like this. Okay, yes, um, okay. 53 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: So clearly we're very excited, so let's let's get into it. Yes, 54 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,520 Speaker 1: so Seana wrote, there are so many episodes that they 55 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 1: want to respond to, but I like to let the 56 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 1: episodes build up so I can binge listen while driving 57 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 1: to and fro. Doing it this way, it makes it 58 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:34,359 Speaker 1: so that I don't remember all the episodes I want 59 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 1: to respond to. This is a good thing for y'all. 60 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 1: It means that by the time I do get around 61 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 1: to being able to shoot off an email, I don't 62 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 1: have as much to say. That being said, I'll just 63 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 1: quickly touch on three things that I remembered I wanted 64 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 1: to share down Nabby. I know you didn't do an 65 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 1: episode of the Foods of Doubt, Nabby, but I fully 66 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 1: agree with the listeners who suggested it. I learned about 67 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 1: the show right before the fourth season started, when my 68 00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 1: public library hosted a Doubt and Abbey tea party. We 69 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 1: all dressed up and brought our own teacups, and the 70 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 1: library supplied the snacks and asked trivia questions about the show. 71 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 1: After it was over, my mom and I immediately went 72 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 1: into the library to put a hold on the show. 73 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 1: After the first episode, we were hooked. We now own 74 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 1: the full series and the movie, and are impatiently waiting 75 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 1: for the second movie, English Muffins. Earlier this year, I 76 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 1: tried my hand at English Muffins. I started by going 77 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 1: onto YouTube and watching multiple videos so I could have 78 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 1: a good idea of what and how. I actually ended 79 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,720 Speaker 1: up adapting a no needsch about a recipe I found 80 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 1: and was very pleased with results. I plan on making 81 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 1: more once I can remember what I did with my recipe. Well, 82 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 1: that's exciting. Yes, and I love this down Abbey party 83 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 1: at the library. That sounds so fun to me. Oh yeah, 84 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 1: I love I love it when libraries throw pro parties. 85 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 1: That's the best. Yes. When I was in the middle school, 86 00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:01,159 Speaker 1: my local library would throw kind of like aimed at 87 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,480 Speaker 1: middle schoolers, like get togethers, and we did like murder 88 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 1: mystery things. It's like games you could play, um, and 89 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 1: it was just really really fun. I really enjoyed it. 90 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 1: I love this. Sounds like a delight to me. So yes, 91 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,360 Speaker 1: we will definitely get to you the Foods of Doubt 92 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 1: Nabbey one day, one day, one day. Um, and uh, 93 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: you know, I guess there's there's new stuff coming up. 94 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 1: We can maybe time it appropriately for once, so I 95 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 1: don't know, maybe that'd be cool. We'll see if we 96 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:35,239 Speaker 1: can do it.

Um. And I know that 170 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 1: they make all sorts of like fancy flavors, and I 171 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,280 Speaker 1: do have some like uh what's it called? Like like 172 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:08,559 Speaker 1: she's so uh pretty cock in there. But yeah, most 173 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 1: of the time, just classic benita flake is what I'm 174 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 1: looking for. You know Sometimes that like just simple it 175 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 1: works for a reason, it does. It does. My other 176 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 1: favorite thing to do with it is, um, I'll just 177 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 1: like make like a bowl of rice and slice up 178 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:26,200 Speaker 1: an avocado on top of it, and maybe if I 179 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 1: have like a a mango or like a tomato, or 180 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 1: something like that. Slice it up on there too and 181 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 1: cover it in like too much hardy cock and just 182 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 1: eat it for lunch. That sounds so good. Yes, yes, es, yes. Anyway, anyway, 183 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 1: Jen wrote, I'm so excited you took my suggestion to 184 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:49,200 Speaker 1: do an Adventure Time episode. I've been low key, if says, 185 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 1: with the show since watching it for the first time 186 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,200 Speaker 1: with my kids about a year ago. I'm not sure 187 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 1: how I slept on it for so long, since my 188 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 1: partner and I are huge animation nerds, but it was 189 00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,160 Speaker 1: a delight to discover with my then two and five 190 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 1: year old. I was so glad to hear that Lauren 191 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,720 Speaker 1: had caught up with the most recent Distant Lands episodes 192 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:09,239 Speaker 1: because they are truly fantastic and the lgbt key representation 193 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:13,080 Speaker 1: is so refreshing. There's even a non binary character in 194 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 1: the newest episode, Wizard City Annie. If you haven't caught up, 195 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:20,559 Speaker 1: since you really need to watch the rest. There's even 196 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 1: a Fiona and Cake mini series that was recently announced, 197 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,080 Speaker 1: which sounds like it's going to have all sorts of 198 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 1: crazy multiversionnigans. I really enjoyed the episode. It's hard not 199 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 1: to grin like a lunatic when hearing people discuss adventure time. 200 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 1: I think my favorite food in the series, aside from 201 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:40,680 Speaker 1: the clambulance um, was the brief mention of meat Man, 202 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 1: just for the disturbing question it raises. One of my 203 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:48,440 Speaker 1: favorite memorable images is Jake staring off into the distance 204 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,080 Speaker 1: with a haunted look, saying I think I'm going to 205 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 1: stop eating meat Man. Speaking of not eating meat, it's 206 00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,480 Speaker 1: implied in the Stakes mini series that all of the 207 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 1: vampires before Marcellin ordered them all could eat red, but 208 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 1: chose to drink blood for evil reasons, So that means 209 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:11,680 Speaker 1: marce Len is the most hardcore vegan ever. As her characters, 210 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,600 Speaker 1: my favorite is Marcelyn by far. Her relationship with Simon 211 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 1: was what first got me really invested in the show, 212 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 1: and while I'd like to pretend I'm as cool as her, 213 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 1: I'm probably more of a random goblin or baby science 214 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 1: cat if I'm lucky. My now through ye old daughter, 215 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,840 Speaker 1: despite claiming to be deathly afraid of Marcellin, loves to 216 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 1: hiss at people and show everyone her baby vampire teeth 217 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,199 Speaker 1: and carries around a mini ukulele that she calls her bass. 218 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:41,560 Speaker 1: My son identifies most with thin due to also being 219 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,840 Speaker 1: a human boy and having long bonde hair. The first 220 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 1: thing I think of when considering Annie is her vast 221 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 1: costume collection, which makes me think she's kind of a 222 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 1: shape shifter like Jake. As well as the moral, laid 223 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 1: back attitude and love of food and games, Lauren seems 224 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 1: more like a take charge leader like Princess bubl Gum, 225 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 1: though hopefully without the hidden dictator streak. Finally, you guys 226 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,560 Speaker 1: have mentioned poutine enough now that I think you formed 227 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 1: me down and I'll have to go grab one. Luckily, 228 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 1: good poutine is available anytime, pretty much anywhere you go 229 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,440 Speaker 1: in Canada, which is why I limit myself to it 230 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:18,840 Speaker 1: once or twice a year. Looking forward to the next 231 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 1: craving our new food discovery. I recently was in Guatemala 232 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,480 Speaker 1: and tried horchata, which I had never heard of before 233 00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 1: your episode on it. Speaking of that trip, the best 234 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,480 Speaker 1: new food I tried with the belizing fried Jack's. Big 235 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 1: puffy pockets of fried dough which were served at breakfast 236 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,720 Speaker 1: either with jam on the side, are stuffed full of 237 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:42,600 Speaker 1: beans and eggs. Amazing worth an episode. Yes, yeah, yes, 238 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,960 Speaker 1: that sounds so good. I haven't heard of that but 239 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:50,120 Speaker 1: I would like seven of those right now. Please, thank you, please, 240 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 1: and thank you and thank you for I love when 241 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,600 Speaker 1: people right in what characters they think we fit the 242 00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:00,880 Speaker 1: most with in these shows. Um, I will say that 243 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 1: I don't think Laura now has a hidden dictator's streak, 244 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:13,720 Speaker 1: but is in there. I'm so glad to hear that, Annie, 245 00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 1: I was really pulling the strings at DND. No I mean, 246 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 1: what an evil laugh I heard? No, no, no, Well, 247 00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 1: I'm so glad you're enjoying adventure Time and you enjoyed 248 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 1: the episode we did on it. It was very very fun. Yes, yes, absolutely, 249 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:40,440 Speaker 1: I definitely gotta catch up. Ye okay, alright, yes, thanks 250 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 1: for us all to work on. Um. Well, all right, 251 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:46,800 Speaker 1: we do have more listener mail for you here, we do, 252 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 1: but first we have a quick break for a word 253 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 1: from our sponsor, and we're back. Thank you sponsor, Yes, 254 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 1: thank you, Hannah wrote. When I heard the listener mail 255 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 1: from a few weeks ago about food labels from different countries, 256 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 1: I knew I needed to share my story. A few 257 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 1: years ago, I was visiting some family in Boston with 258 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:15,080 Speaker 1: my parents. My mom had heard about dury In recently, 259 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,280 Speaker 1: so when we went to a Vietnamese shop to get 260 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 1: bond me for lunch. She decided to get a durry 261 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 1: and smoothie as well. She hated it from the first sip, 262 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 1: and everyone else except my dad thought it was disgusting too. 263 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:29,880 Speaker 1: I'm not sure if he actually liked it or just 264 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 1: decided to finish it rather than waste food. I really 265 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 1: love moon cakes, so I bought what, according to the package, 266 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 1: looked to be taro flavored moon cakes. The ingredients listed 267 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 1: the things you would expect tarot, flower, sugar, et cetera. 268 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 1: But when I opened it, I noticed it smelled a 269 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,120 Speaker 1: bit funky. After taking a bite, I was wondering if 270 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 1: it had gone off, but it looked perfectly normal. It 271 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:52,800 Speaker 1: took a little while to put together that the smell 272 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,800 Speaker 1: was similar to the smoothie my mom had gotten. I 273 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 1: looked at the ingredients list again but didn't see anything 274 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 1: like dauryan listed on the English labeled that had been 275 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 1: stuck over the Vietnamese writing. Then, in the process of 276 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 1: looking up what dauryan is in Vietnamese, I realized something. 277 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,760 Speaker 1: The huge picture on the outside of the package was 278 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 1: a dauryan. I guess they just figured the main ingredient 279 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 1: didn't need to be listed if there was a big 280 00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 1: picture of it on the front. I think my dad 281 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 1: ended up eating those as well, since no one else 282 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:24,040 Speaker 1: would touch them. Since then, I've been more careful when 283 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 1: buying things that might have had Dauryan snuck in. I 284 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:30,560 Speaker 1: planned on going to Southeast Asia in May, oh and 285 00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 1: might have gotten up the nerve to try dairy in again, 286 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 1: But alas that trip was not meant to be. I'm 287 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 1: sure I'll get there eventually and try it again one day. Yes, yes, 288 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,280 Speaker 1: well I still have that daury and ice cream. Oh 289 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 1: my goodness. Really, your dedication is really impressive. I definitely 290 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 1: would have eaten that at some point over the past 291 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:55,840 Speaker 1: wacky year and a half. Uh, it's in plastic raft, Lauren. 292 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 1: So once I open it, I think that's a done deal, 293 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 1: and I really want to try it together. Okay, all 294 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 1: right now, I see you. Yeah, Well, well we'll just 295 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:10,480 Speaker 1: have to We'll just have to do it. We'll just 296 00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:12,840 Speaker 1: have to do it. M It will be at our 297 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,960 Speaker 1: horrible slash very fun slash going to be a disaster 298 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,720 Speaker 1: meal we're planning. Of all these dudes that we've said 299 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:26,520 Speaker 1: gonna try. Uh, it is certainly like an unexpected taste 300 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:30,679 Speaker 1: dairy in um, if you're if you're not, especially if 301 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:32,919 Speaker 1: you're not looking out for it, like it's because it's 302 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 1: kind of like like like gar garlicky almost And yeah, 303 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:39,680 Speaker 1: I mean in a way that I think like we've 304 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 1: had some like dairy and pastries and stuff that I 305 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:45,959 Speaker 1: thought were quite good. Um, but uh, but yeah, it's 306 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:49,360 Speaker 1: got a weird savory note that, especially in something sweet. 307 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:55,640 Speaker 1: It's kind of like, way, Oh okay, I'm excited to try. 308 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 1: I'm nervous and excited. I'll say the smell. I'm actually 309 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:03,600 Speaker 1: very sensitive to smell. Oh yeah, yeah, So maybe I'll 310 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 1: get my old clothes fin out do that number. But 311 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:13,800 Speaker 1: we'll make it happen one of these days. Yes, yes, yes, uh, 312 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 1: Sierra wrote, I was inspired by some listener mail a 313 00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago where someone explained their initial distaste 314 00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:21,399 Speaker 1: over the use of brown gravy for poutine when they 315 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:25,040 Speaker 1: were expecting sausage gravy. I fully understand the sentiment, because 316 00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 1: in general I do not like brown gravy, but for 317 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,280 Speaker 1: some reason I find poutine to be the only appropriate 318 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 1: used for it. But this got me thinking poutine with 319 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 1: sausage gravy sausage gravy equals biscuits and gravy biscuits and 320 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:45,720 Speaker 1: gravy breakfast poutine for breakfast. So behold breakfast poutine complete 321 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:49,760 Speaker 1: with sausage, gravy, maple, sausage bits, cheese, and poached eggs. 322 00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:52,920 Speaker 1: I suppose this is technically more like disco fries for breakfast, 323 00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:55,400 Speaker 1: but unfortunately I do not keep cheese curds on hand, 324 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,240 Speaker 1: which is something I now think I need to remedy. 325 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:03,080 Speaker 1: Is it photogenic? No, but it was delicious. Next time, 326 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,640 Speaker 1: I'll make sure I have cheese curds and I'll try 327 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,639 Speaker 1: to not tremendously over poach my eggs. But even with 328 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:12,280 Speaker 1: those setbacks, I highly recommend giving poutine for breakfast. Ago, 329 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:16,800 Speaker 1: Oh you don't have to twist my arm. Yeah. Oh 330 00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:21,640 Speaker 1: it looks so good, it sounds delicious. Yeah, definitely get 331 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:23,440 Speaker 1: some cheese curds. Now, I'm like, how can I get 332 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:29,639 Speaker 1: some cheesecreds? Yeah? See, I this is this to me 333 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,280 Speaker 1: sounds like an undertaking just because I have none of 334 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:37,800 Speaker 1: those ingredients. Um, but I'm not. That doesn't mean I 335 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:42,119 Speaker 1: won't try it. Oh, absolutely absolutely. I also do understand 336 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:45,560 Speaker 1: that it's not technically that difficult to poach an egg, 337 00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:50,080 Speaker 1: but I've never done it very successfully. I do love 338 00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:56,160 Speaker 1: a poached egg. I love a poach degg so much 339 00:19:56,200 --> 00:20:05,000 Speaker 1: better than the other eggs. Right possible? Um? Well, yeah, goals, Okay, 340 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:08,320 Speaker 1: breakfast goals. Here we go. Yes. Yes. In the meanwhile, 341 00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,240 Speaker 1: Vivian wrote, I was super excited to hear you guys 342 00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:15,080 Speaker 1: mentioned a Zazania latifolia on your episode on Wild Rice. 343 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,200 Speaker 1: I learned about this fabulous species a few years ago 344 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,600 Speaker 1: when I was visiting my grandma in Beijing and she 345 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:24,400 Speaker 1: sur fried some stems for lunch. The stems are known 346 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:28,160 Speaker 1: as the vegetable. Uh say it again for me Annie 347 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:32,199 Speaker 1: Jiao by gao by h where by means white for 348 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 1: the color of its stems. When peeled, It's truly delicious. 349 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,520 Speaker 1: The texture is sponge like, sort of soft and crispy 350 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 1: at the same time, a little similar to bamboo shoots, fresh, 351 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 1: not the canned kind. Perhaps you cut it out for time, 352 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,359 Speaker 1: but I was surprised to hear you not mentioned the 353 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,120 Speaker 1: aspect of this vegetable that astounded me when I first 354 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:53,639 Speaker 1: read it's Wikipedia page. To quote WICKI, the success of 355 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:57,080 Speaker 1: the crop depends on this one fungus The grass is 356 00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:00,480 Speaker 1: not grown for its grain, as our other wild rice species, 357 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 1: but for the stems, which swell into juicy galls when 358 00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:08,240 Speaker 1: infected with the fungus. When the fungus invades the host plant, 359 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:11,720 Speaker 1: it causes it to hypertrophy. Um, it sells increasing in 360 00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,960 Speaker 1: size and number. Infection with the fungus prevents the plant 361 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:18,040 Speaker 1: from flowering and setting seed, so the crop is propagated 362 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:21,880 Speaker 1: a sexually by rhizome. New sprouts are infected by spores 363 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 1: in the environment, which is generally a patty. Now that's 364 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,520 Speaker 1: wild wild rice. I haven't tasted this for myself, but 365 00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 1: the same fungus also turns corn into a delicacy. Oh okay, 366 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:40,320 Speaker 1: that is interesting. That is super interesting. Yeah. I kind 367 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:45,560 Speaker 1: of like put that entire type of of of rice 368 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:48,360 Speaker 1: plant wild rice plant to the side as we were 369 00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:53,760 Speaker 1: discussing the American grain version. Um, but yeah, I would 370 00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:57,480 Speaker 1: love to return to all of this. And I I 371 00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:02,359 Speaker 1: have not heard of this particular type of propagation before. 372 00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:08,840 Speaker 1: So that's that. That is indeed wild that's great. Yes, 373 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:13,160 Speaker 1: And also, um, as we discussed, Lauren and I did 374 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:19,400 Speaker 1: order some wild rice. Have you used ears yet? Yes? 375 00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:23,679 Speaker 1: So good? Oh yeah good? Oh? My god, I was 376 00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:28,320 Speaker 1: blown away. I find yet Okay, I did like a 377 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:30,720 Speaker 1: because I had a bunch of ingredients I was trying 378 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:31,960 Speaker 1: to get rid of and I happened to find a 379 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,560 Speaker 1: recipe that sort. I've used all of them, and it 380 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:40,560 Speaker 1: was a pretty savory, like Herby. There's some parmesan cheese 381 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:43,879 Speaker 1: in there on and some chicken, and it was so good. 382 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:49,160 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, oh goodness was gone. It is all gone. 383 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 1: I'll have to I'll have to figure out. I'll have 384 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:54,680 Speaker 1: to figure out something cool to do with it. Yes, Yes, 385 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:58,679 Speaker 1: highly recommend um. Okay, I love this. You have a 386 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:03,920 Speaker 1: couple of emails about baby corn. Yes, so Bart wrote, 387 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:05,920 Speaker 1: I always love it when a new episode of Savor 388 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,480 Speaker 1: drops into my podcatcher, and I was extra excited when 389 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:10,719 Speaker 1: I saw you had an entire episode dedicated to one 390 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:14,600 Speaker 1: of my absolute favorite little vegetables, baby corn. I was 391 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:16,639 Speaker 1: shocked to hear that fresh baby corn is difficult to 392 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 1: find in the US. Here in Ireland, it's the opposite. 393 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:23,120 Speaker 1: All of our supermarkets stock fresh corn, but I've never 394 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:26,960 Speaker 1: seen canned baby corn. Canned sweet corn sure everywhere, but 395 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:31,280 Speaker 1: never canned baby corn. It's one of my weekly staples 396 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:33,640 Speaker 1: and in these pandemic times. One of my biggest first 397 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,520 Speaker 1: world problems was the national shortage of baby corn as 398 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 1: India went through a bad wave of the pandemic. I 399 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:42,360 Speaker 1: actually went hunting for canned baby corn so i'd have something, 400 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:47,200 Speaker 1: but to no avail. I love baby corn on its own, 401 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:49,920 Speaker 1: brush with oil and grilled and a George Foreman fried 402 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,399 Speaker 1: in and air fryar are roasted with fresh herbs or 403 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 1: some Tabasco sauce, and I also used it a lot 404 00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,320 Speaker 1: to add color and texture to roasted vegetable mixes. My 405 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:03,159 Speaker 1: absolute favorite is baby corn, baby cucumbers, shallots, and sweet 406 00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,720 Speaker 1: peppers roasted tossed with some olive oil and a few 407 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:08,399 Speaker 1: slices of garlic before being roasted for forty minutes and 408 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:12,359 Speaker 1: then sprinkled with a little soy sauce before serving. A 409 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:16,320 Speaker 1: close second is baby corn sugar snappeas, shallots and Italian 410 00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:19,800 Speaker 1: herb seasoning roasted for thirty minutes. Fresh baby corn are 411 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,160 Speaker 1: well known to be great and anything cooked in a walk, 412 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:25,160 Speaker 1: but I also of adding them to salted vegetable recipes 413 00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 1: like salted celery, cucumbers, sparagus or runner beans. Anyway, baby 414 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 1: corn rocks, yes, I want to try. It's so bad. 415 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:39,200 Speaker 1: This sounds so good to be Oh and I didn't 416 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:43,159 Speaker 1: know that about Ireland. All those fresh baby corn and 417 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 1: you can't find canned baby corn. Huh yes, I say, indeed. Now, Oh, 418 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:59,359 Speaker 1: I'm so curious about how this happened. Um, cool, though, cool, 419 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:10,200 Speaker 1: All right, we're coming over, get ready. Uh, don't worry. 420 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,480 Speaker 1: We would never show upunaannounced. I don't even I don't 421 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:16,520 Speaker 1: even call without texting first. Are you kidding? Um? Okay, okay. 422 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:21,040 Speaker 1: But meanwhile, also about baby corn, Jenna wrote, I love 423 00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:23,920 Speaker 1: baby corn too. Growing up, we didn't eat out much, 424 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,640 Speaker 1: but our homemade stir fries included them. Everyone liked them, 425 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:30,120 Speaker 1: so I wasn't able to stockpile them. On a different subject, 426 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:33,800 Speaker 1: when you were talking about cute and gigantic food, that 427 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 1: somehow made me think of something big on a stick. 428 00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:39,720 Speaker 1: I came across this years ago at work. It became 429 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:42,159 Speaker 1: a family joke as we tried to figure out what 430 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,920 Speaker 1: that thing on a stick was. All we know was 431 00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,679 Speaker 1: that they were sold out at gas stations and convenience stores. 432 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,280 Speaker 1: Have you done an episode on food on a stick? 433 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:54,879 Speaker 1: M We have not, but it has long been on 434 00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:58,400 Speaker 1: our list and we did do a short video when 435 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,400 Speaker 1: we were still making videos of our time at the Renaissance. 436 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:07,879 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, um, the Georgia Renfest invited us out, um 437 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:12,959 Speaker 1: and we and and very very generously gave us this 438 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:17,760 Speaker 1: huge sampling of the foods that they served there. Many 439 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:21,160 Speaker 1: of them were indeed on sticks. All of them were 440 00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:25,080 Speaker 1: ridiculous and delicious. Yes, it was a good day. It 441 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:30,439 Speaker 1: was a really it was a very early, strange good day. Um. Uh. 442 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,440 Speaker 1: But yeah, so so if you can find our video 443 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:35,800 Speaker 1: on that goodness, I don't I have no idea if 444 00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,159 Speaker 1: that's still on the internet right now. Oh it is. 445 00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,080 Speaker 1: For some reason. Occasionally I get the urge to watch, 446 00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:47,080 Speaker 1: like to remind myself of better times for some reason, 447 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:49,840 Speaker 1: especially the b one. But we we did the mead 448 00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:56,000 Speaker 1: thing at the ren Renaissance festival. Um, and it got 449 00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:59,000 Speaker 1: used in the episode we did on Honey, right. I 450 00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 1: just loved oh yeah, yeah, no that Honey episode. Uh, 451 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:07,000 Speaker 1: such such a deep dive into insects, which you know, yes, 452 00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:09,919 Speaker 1: I guess we should have figured. But it was kind 453 00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:13,080 Speaker 1: of a pleasant surprise. It was. It was as with 454 00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,199 Speaker 1: all the food on the stick. But yes, we are 455 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:18,880 Speaker 1: definitely planning to do an episode on that. Yeah, I'm 456 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:25,040 Speaker 1: very excited about it. Yes, Um, Danielle wrote, First off, 457 00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:26,560 Speaker 1: I just wanted to say that I've been listening to 458 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:29,440 Speaker 1: the podcast ever since the very first food Stuff episode 459 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 1: and love all the insights, random facts, and tangents you 460 00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:36,240 Speaker 1: bring for each and every topic.

But anyway, the 463 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:44,920 Speaker 1: reason I wanted to write is that I found fresh 464 00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:48,680 Speaker 1: baby corn. Not sure if it's in Trader Joe stores everywhere, 465 00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,280 Speaker 1: but they have it here in San Francisco. Until listening 466 00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:53,160 Speaker 1: to the episode, I didn't even know that fresh baby 467 00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,080 Speaker 1: corn was a thing, So when I saw it, I 468 00:27:55,160 --> 00:28:02,440 Speaker 1: had to write in yes, now I have to check yeah, yeah, no, 469 00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:05,080 Speaker 1: this is okay, this is this is your this is 470 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:09,200 Speaker 1: on you, Annie, Okay, help me help me Annie.

Thank you, yes, thank you. Um. 479 00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:55,760 Speaker 1: Sarah Beth wrote, I love the podcast and couldn't resist 480 00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:58,160 Speaker 1: writing in I've been living in Asia the past twelve 481 00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:00,040 Speaker 1: years and was flying back to the US for a 482 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:03,120 Speaker 1: brief sabbatical. But how could I pass up the opportunity 483 00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:07,040 Speaker 1: to stay halfway for a long layover? So I booked 484 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,640 Speaker 1: a house on the outskirts of Paris, but near a 485 00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:12,720 Speaker 1: metro station. As a surprise, my brother in law and 486 00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:16,120 Speaker 1: mother surprised my sister with tickets to meet me. After 487 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:19,200 Speaker 1: walking around and eating way too many crapes the first day, 488 00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:21,440 Speaker 1: if there is such a thing, we decided we had 489 00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:25,440 Speaker 1: to pace ourselves. Every ten thousand steps we would buy 490 00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:30,640 Speaker 1: a crip. Walking around Paris all day. Thousand steps in 491 00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:33,480 Speaker 1: a day was easy. By the end of the trip, 492 00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:35,760 Speaker 1: we were eating a crape anytime one of us got 493 00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:39,360 Speaker 1: ten thousand steps, which came out to five to six 494 00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:44,280 Speaker 1: crapes a day. What a life. It was a great trip, 495 00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:47,640 Speaker 1: full of great memories.

Oh yes, yes, oh yes, 506 00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:38,240 Speaker 1: Erica wrote, I just listened to your episode on Crapes 507 00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:40,280 Speaker 1: and I was reminded of one more Vermont thing you 508 00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:44,720 Speaker 1: can investigate Skinny Pancake. It's a local chain of restaurants 509 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,760 Speaker 1: that feature you guessed it, sweet and savory crepes. There 510 00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:51,200 Speaker 1: is also a location inside the Burlington Airport. My current 511 00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:53,280 Speaker 1: partner and I went on our third date there and 512 00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:56,880 Speaker 1: unfortunately have not been back since the pandemic happened. Very 513 00:30:56,920 --> 00:31:00,320 Speaker 1: shortly afterwards, I think about visiting the restaurant freak wently, 514 00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:03,920 Speaker 1: and my craving increased when I listened to your episode. Typically, 515 00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:05,640 Speaker 1: I am not a fan of the sweet variety, But 516 00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:08,320 Speaker 1: after listening to your episode, an tell filled crepe might 517 00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:12,560 Speaker 1: hit the spot. Exactly, might, I suggest, though, the Johnny 518 00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:15,520 Speaker 1: crepe are the Green Mountain for y'all, and then dessert 519 00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:18,520 Speaker 1: the sugar shack. I hope you get to visit my 520 00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:26,480 Speaker 1: home states. I mean that all sounds good to me. Okay, 521 00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:32,040 Speaker 1: all right, Vermont, Yeah, let's do this thing. Yes, yes, 522 00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:41,960 Speaker 1: let's do it. Gosh uh. Related, Sheldon wrote, just listen 523 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:43,960 Speaker 1: to your talk on crepes today. While I was making 524 00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:47,880 Speaker 1: pretzels for my granddaughters. When my kids first language French 525 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:51,400 Speaker 1: were learning English, they used to call them skinny pancakes 526 00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:54,080 Speaker 1: when I would make them, at least around here, probably 527 00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:58,080 Speaker 1: not in France. What English called pancakes are also called crepes. 528 00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:01,240 Speaker 1: My kids did not think that English would use the 529 00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:05,800 Speaker 1: French words, so they just called them skinny pancakes. And 530 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,760 Speaker 1: if you're ever in Quebec city, you have to go 531 00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:13,120 Speaker 1: to oh Andy, can you help me out, oh petite Cooperton. 532 00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:17,560 Speaker 1: I think I'll go with what you said. Thank you. Um, 533 00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:19,640 Speaker 1: you have to you have to go to their um 534 00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:22,680 Speaker 1: for the best crapes. This side of the Atlantic services 535 00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,840 Speaker 1: a bit slow. The crepes are about thirty inches in diameter, 536 00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,360 Speaker 1: so you can imagine they can't cook many at a time, 537 00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:31,880 Speaker 1: but the weight is worth it. After cooking there filled 538 00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:37,160 Speaker 1: and folded to fit on a plate. That sounds amazing. 539 00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:44,280 Speaker 1: It's it's so strange to have so many cravings at once. 540 00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:49,880 Speaker 1: My body doesn't know what to do. Oh mine does? 541 00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:53,280 Speaker 1: Mine is like we are on this um but no, 542 00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:57,080 Speaker 1: I oh, I haven't gotten crapes yet either. Capes and 543 00:32:57,080 --> 00:33:00,400 Speaker 1: foutein those are the two. Those are my whole doubts. 544 00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:10,440 Speaker 1: I still haven't gotten scallops. Okay, I got I do, 545 00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:13,720 Speaker 1: I do, I really do. I remember a couple of 546 00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:16,040 Speaker 1: years back, a listener wrote in and about I think 547 00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:19,960 Speaker 1: it was a Thanksgiving celebration, the holiday celebration for some 548 00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:24,360 Speaker 1: type they did with friends where they everybody just bought 549 00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:26,560 Speaker 1: whatever they were craving, and so you just have kind 550 00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:31,200 Speaker 1: of a very wide variety of food. So I'm feeling 551 00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:35,040 Speaker 1: like that's kind of what we're planning here. Oh yeah, 552 00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:40,520 Speaker 1: yeah yeah, or or um or or you've described um 553 00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:43,680 Speaker 1: you're very American. What was it? Was it a Fourth 554 00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:46,960 Speaker 1: of July or at Christmas celebration? My my fourth of 555 00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:50,520 Speaker 1: July celebration that was thrown for you by friends overseas, 556 00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:53,040 Speaker 1: like like y'all were like in China at the time, 557 00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:55,840 Speaker 1: I think, and they were like, what's a what's the 558 00:33:55,880 --> 00:34:01,120 Speaker 1: feast for Americans? Peanut butter and jelly and sagt spaghetti. 559 00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:05,720 Speaker 1: It was great, It was so sweet. I did really 560 00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:11,840 Speaker 1: love it. Yes, yes, um, well, we have another creepe message. 561 00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:15,360 Speaker 1: Amanda Rope was listening to your crape episode and just 562 00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:18,239 Speaker 1: want to hopefully make you less worried and let you know. 563 00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:22,760 Speaker 1: Crepes are indeed very easy to flip. Granted, mine typically 564 00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:25,080 Speaker 1: end up a little thicker unless giant, than you would 565 00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:27,080 Speaker 1: find at a crepe restaurant, but my five year old 566 00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:30,040 Speaker 1: typically helps me flip all of our crepes. Now aside 567 00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:33,440 Speaker 1: from video games, he is indeed very uncoordinated in his 568 00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:36,799 Speaker 1: everyday life. They are also pretty easy to make. It 569 00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:39,279 Speaker 1: was one of my brothers and mine go to things 570 00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:42,160 Speaker 1: to cook for some reason when we were children. My 571 00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:44,520 Speaker 1: recipe is one egg per person plus a couple more 572 00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:49,160 Speaker 1: at an approximately equal volume of milk and beat slowly, 573 00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:51,120 Speaker 1: whisk and flour toil just a little thicker than whipped 574 00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:55,120 Speaker 1: cream maybe melted ice cream consistency couple of pinches each 575 00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:58,479 Speaker 1: salt and sugar, and one to two tablespoons melted butter. 576 00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:01,920 Speaker 1: My secret recommendation as to let the batter sit overnight 577 00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:04,360 Speaker 1: in the fridge to dissolve the lumps of flour. Just 578 00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:06,120 Speaker 1: give a quick stir and add a bit of milk 579 00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:07,880 Speaker 1: if you feel it's too thick in the morning and 580 00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:11,280 Speaker 1: you're ready to go. I typically make whole wheat crapes 581 00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:14,439 Speaker 1: to make myself feel better about eating them. The whole 582 00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:16,600 Speaker 1: wheat batter does look a little weird in the morning 583 00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:18,759 Speaker 1: after sitting, but a quick stir and it cooks up 584 00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:23,200 Speaker 1: perfect and delicious, and also much easier having it pre prepped. 585 00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:25,320 Speaker 1: My favorite way to eat is to rub with the 586 00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:27,799 Speaker 1: stick of butter quickly, just before we're moving from the pan. 587 00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:32,439 Speaker 1: Roll and dip and maple syrup, berries and whipped cream 588 00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:35,320 Speaker 1: are also a favor. Here, I couldn't find a picture 589 00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:37,520 Speaker 1: of my boy flipping crepes that I thought I had, 590 00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:40,239 Speaker 1: so here's a picture of him discovering a leak and 591 00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:46,480 Speaker 1: immediately recognizing it and pretending to be far fed. In 592 00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:49,040 Speaker 1: agreement with the listener mail on the crepe episode, May 593 00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:50,960 Speaker 1: I also chime in and say your video game D 594 00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:53,239 Speaker 1: and D and other nerdy asides are my favorite part 595 00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:56,560 Speaker 1: of your podcast. Also, another listener mail reminded me I 596 00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:59,680 Speaker 1: meant to weigh in on ghost kitchens here in Winnipeg. 597 00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:02,200 Speaker 1: I thought a ghost kitchen was just a new restaurant 598 00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:04,759 Speaker 1: that was open for delivery only, perhaps to save money 599 00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:08,560 Speaker 1: on dining space. Usually it's really great, amazing food too. 600 00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:12,240 Speaker 1: I'm actually ordering food from one. Sometimes you gotta preorder 601 00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:14,600 Speaker 1: like a week in advance with their food is top quality. 602 00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:17,840 Speaker 1: I've never heard of or found this chain restaurant just 603 00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:23,600 Speaker 1: relabeling part of their men. That's fair. I actually thought 604 00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:27,360 Speaker 1: I think that is a thing as well, and that 605 00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:30,160 Speaker 1: I thought that might be what a ghost kitchen was 606 00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:37,959 Speaker 1: to um, So that makes sense to me. That makes sense. Um. Also, like, 607 00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:40,000 Speaker 1: like I said in the email response to this, I 608 00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:43,560 Speaker 1: appreciate once again that you have enough faith to think 609 00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:46,359 Speaker 1: I'm as coordinated as an uncoordinated five year old, because 610 00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:52,319 Speaker 1: I'm not entirely convinced that I am. But um, you know, 611 00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:56,000 Speaker 1: it's probably it's probably all in the in, the in 612 00:36:56,040 --> 00:37:00,400 Speaker 1: the technique, and and the and the confidence built of 613 00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:05,000 Speaker 1: from trying it a few times. I feel like that's 614 00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:09,080 Speaker 1: very diplomatic, But I also agree I agree. I think 615 00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:12,040 Speaker 1: it is a confidence thing. I think it's like I 616 00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:17,200 Speaker 1: just panic last moment and then it's too late. Yeah, 617 00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:30,440 Speaker 1: this is what I learned from axe throwing last week. Anyway. Yes, well, 618 00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:33,360 Speaker 1: thank you so much for the recipe. It does sound 619 00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:38,960 Speaker 1: fairly easy. Yeah, I believe you. It's not that I disbelieve. 620 00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,640 Speaker 1: I don't think you'll apply to us. I hope not. 621 00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:49,879 Speaker 1: I hope not. Ah. I do love the that your 622 00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:54,960 Speaker 1: son immediately thought of far fetched. That's hilarious. So good 623 00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:59,920 Speaker 1: all of this. Oh and dipping in maple syrup. Okay, okay, 624 00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:06,200 Speaker 1: gotta try it. Gotta try it. Um. Sam wrote not 625 00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:11,520 Speaker 1: only our Early Betty Crocker Cookbooks collectible, which edition you 626 00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:15,560 Speaker 1: have also matters. The early editions were published in two formats, 627 00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:20,440 Speaker 1: a standard hardcover and a five ring tabbed binder. Because 628 00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:23,760 Speaker 1: of the inherent design drawbacks in ring binders, these survive 629 00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:27,719 Speaker 1: much less often in good condition, and hence are more desirable. 630 00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:30,319 Speaker 1: A good ring binder copy can bring as much as 631 00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:36,680 Speaker 1: seventy bucks. WHOA yeah, um, I actually do have one 632 00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:39,960 Speaker 1: of one of my early Betty. Betty Crocker cookbooks is 633 00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:42,960 Speaker 1: in the ring binder format. Um it is not in 634 00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:46,720 Speaker 1: great condition. Um, it's it's very it's very delicate because 635 00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:49,600 Speaker 1: the paperboard is kind of peeling away from the from 636 00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:54,480 Speaker 1: the metal binder situation. Um, and it and it is 637 00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:57,560 Speaker 1: like like I handle it gingerly, but for sure. I 638 00:38:57,600 --> 00:38:59,520 Speaker 1: was looking up a recipe one day and one of 639 00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:03,279 Speaker 1: my f friends was over, um, this was way in 640 00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:06,480 Speaker 1: the before times and uh, and he like did a 641 00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:09,400 Speaker 1: double take and and it was like it was like 642 00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:14,759 Speaker 1: watching Golem see Frodo handling the ring.

He was 647 00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:35,960 Speaker 1: like yes, and then he runs away. The music swells, 648 00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:44,919 Speaker 1: intense looks are shared. I'm not sure. I'm not sure where. 649 00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:46,520 Speaker 1: I'm not sure a ware I got that one from, 650 00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:49,680 Speaker 1: either if it was a used bookstore find or if 651 00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:53,000 Speaker 1: if it was a hand me down or what.

Matthew sentence 662 00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:44,920 Speaker 1: this email with the subject line candle related anxiety UM 663 00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:50,200 Speaker 1: based on something Lauren's right, and it read simply, do 664 00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:53,880 Speaker 1: you seek the name capital in a reckoning is not 665 00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:58,920 Speaker 1: to be postponed indefinitely. That's all said. Well, okay, glad 666 00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:02,000 Speaker 1: you didn't know either. So I was like, I'm nervous, 667 00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:05,600 Speaker 1: but I'm going to look this up, um, and it 668 00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:11,520 Speaker 1: is a game where I am to understand that seeking 669 00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:14,160 Speaker 1: the name is very complicated, and so I responded to Matthew, 670 00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:17,120 Speaker 1: and Matthew followed up The real trick is that for 671 00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:19,319 Speaker 1: the full impact of seeking the name, you have to 672 00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:21,800 Speaker 1: like really get into Fallow in London, which is the 673 00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:24,160 Speaker 1: name of the game. I mean, like dump a couple 674 00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:26,800 Speaker 1: of years into it, really get to know the game. 675 00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:30,560 Speaker 1: The city, the mythos, then seek the name. It's one 676 00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:33,920 Speaker 1: of the more disturbing experiences I've had in a video game, actually, 677 00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:36,200 Speaker 1: as the game will frequently tell you should not seek 678 00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:39,719 Speaker 1: the name. It is a foolish thing to do. So 679 00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:43,240 Speaker 1: it's I looked up how to do it, um, because 680 00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:46,400 Speaker 1: I I'm so glad that so many of you have 681 00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:47,880 Speaker 1: written and said I love your D and D and 682 00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:51,600 Speaker 1: nerdicides because we love them too, and we are very nerdy. 683 00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:53,799 Speaker 1: Yeah we're I mean, we're not going to stop. We 684 00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:56,399 Speaker 1: I don't think we can. I don't think so it's 685 00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:59,400 Speaker 1: good that you don't hate it, yes, exactly, but we 686 00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:02,000 Speaker 1: love when you all send them to us as well. 687 00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:05,960 Speaker 1: So I was excited to learn about this. But I think, um, 688 00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:10,279 Speaker 1: and I'm very like basic Wikipedia understanding as you need 689 00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:14,720 Speaker 1: you get candles as a part their key into seeking 690 00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:20,799 Speaker 1: this name thing. So that's the candle related anxiety. Yeah, yeah, 691 00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:22,920 Speaker 1: and and and right and and fall Fall in London 692 00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:29,280 Speaker 1: being um a mostly text based game. Yeah, I think so, yes, 693 00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:31,920 Speaker 1: because I because I know, I know it's been around 694 00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:35,879 Speaker 1: for heck and ever in internet time, um, which which 695 00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:38,440 Speaker 1: might be I like, don't have information about it up 696 00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:41,480 Speaker 1: I mean that could be from like, I don't even 697 00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:42,840 Speaker 1: know what year it is right now. I was just 698 00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:44,400 Speaker 1: trying to do math. I was like, was from like 699 00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:50,200 Speaker 1: five years ago? Like, and then my brain went the 700 00:42:50,280 --> 00:43:00,120 Speaker 1: old hour glass. Yeah, uh uh, here you go. It's 701 00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:03,760 Speaker 1: it's been it's been around since two thousand nine at least. Um. 702 00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:10,040 Speaker 1: So yeah, oh goodness, yes, yeah I haven't. I haven't 703 00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:11,880 Speaker 1: played a game like that in a very long time, 704 00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:16,000 Speaker 1: and I've never gotten into fall in London. Um. But 705 00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:20,320 Speaker 1: but I'm glad. I'm glad that it's sparked Nerd joy 706 00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:24,520 Speaker 1: me too, and it got me thinking. I believe there 707 00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:27,480 Speaker 1: are two other games I've played where there's candle related anxiety. 708 00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:31,320 Speaker 1: Um yeah, like what is the name that I played 709 00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:34,799 Speaker 1: it right when the pandemic started. It was just poor timing, um, 710 00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:40,640 Speaker 1: but it was about the rats plague. You had to 711 00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:44,840 Speaker 1: have a candle or the rats would eat you your candle. 712 00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:49,279 Speaker 1: You had to time it and light things properly. And 713 00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:51,719 Speaker 1: then I know, I think Amnesia, which is also a 714 00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:55,239 Speaker 1: HARRD game, has a candle related anxiety because I mean 715 00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:57,520 Speaker 1: that's a very fearful thing of like your candle going out. 716 00:43:57,560 --> 00:44:00,560 Speaker 1: You have to time things sure, sure, sure, absolutely, I 717 00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:04,200 Speaker 1: mean I mean light in horror based video games is 718 00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:09,520 Speaker 1: absolutely a scary scary thing like an um yeah, silent 719 00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:11,880 Speaker 1: home when it's not a candle but a flashlight. But 720 00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:14,480 Speaker 1: if you if you use the flashlight, you can see things, 721 00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:18,440 Speaker 1: but they can see you. Is a very very frequent 722 00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:27,719 Speaker 1: in horror games trope. And yes, it's just so stressful, 723 00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:30,399 Speaker 1: like is it better to not see what's coming? I'm 724 00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:34,280 Speaker 1: not sure. Oh, I think about this all the time, Lauren, 725 00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:36,799 Speaker 1: with someone who watches a lot of horror movies, plays 726 00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:38,720 Speaker 1: a lot of horror games, I think about it all 727 00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:46,000 Speaker 1: the time.
