3 EASY VEGAN PASTA SAUCEShot for food

[Lauren] hey everyone it's lauren from hot for food, back with a new video this week, of course! [Lauren] and i'm just boiling some pasta cos today we are going to make pasta, [lauren] and more importantly, the sauces! [Lauren] i'm gonna show you how to make 3 VEGAN PASTA SAUCES. [Lauren] they're very quick and easy. You just toss your noodles in. [Lauren] and i thought i'm still on this comfort food pasta carb-loading thing cos it's still cold here in Canada where i am, [lauren] so screw the bikini bod thing, that's all bs anyways.

[Lauren] and just eat pasta cos that's what you wanna eat for reals! [Lauren] so i'm gonna show you how to make an avocado pesto sauce, a roasted red pepper sauce and a pumpkin sage cream sauce! [Lauren] it's real fun, real quick, let's do this! [Lauren] we're making the avocado pesto in a food processor. [Lauren] so we're gonna add 2 avocados, a few cloves of garlic, [lauren] you're gonna pack fresh basil leaves into a cup like this and do 1 and a half to 2 cups. [Lauren] i'm adding chives for some extra flavour, [lauren] we're gonna do fresh lemon juice, [lauren] we're gonna add nutritional yeast, of course, for some extra cheesiness. [Lauren] add salt and pepper.

[Lauren] now you don't have to, but i'm gonna add a little bit of olive oil. [Lauren] yes, the avocado is fatty but this adds a little more richness so there we go. [Lauren] now you're just gonna process that until it's very smooth. [Lauren] so now let's make the roasted red pepper sauce! [Lauren] we're gonna start by sauting onions and garlic in some olive oil.

[Lauren] now these don't have to be uniformly cut cos we are going into a food processor or blender to finish the sauce. [Lauren] so now you're gonna add garlic and seasonings [lauren] and we're making this spicy and smoky with red chili flakes, smoked paprika, salt and pepper. [Lauren] and just cook this until the onions and garlic are softer. [Lauren] you can add a little vegetable stock just to deglaze the pan and get all the spices lifted up.

[Lauren] and we're gonna throw this in a blender with everything else. [Lauren] i'm using a jar of flame-roasted red peppers.  You can roast your own, but this is easier. [Lauren] so drain the water from the jar, and it's about 1 and a quarter cups that i have.

[Lauren] we're also gonna add nutritional yeast, [lauren] and more vegetable stock. [Lauren] and then give it a blend! [Lauren] alright, we're on to the last pasta sauce. We're doing a pumpkin sage cream sauce [lauren] so it is pumpkin puree and coconut milk, sage and some garlic, onions, nutritional yeast, all the usual suspects. [Lauren] so we're gonna start by putting olive oil in a pan.

[Lauren] then you're gonna saut your onions for a couple of minutes. [Lauren] then add some minced garlic, sage, a little bit of nutmeg and cinnamon. [Lauren] give that a stir and don't forget salt and pepper. [Lauren] we are gonna use coconut milk [lauren] that's gonna deglaze all the spices off the pan.

[Lauren] you're gonna bring the coconut milk up to a low simmer [lauren] then add pumpkin puree, nutritional yeast, lemon juice [lauren] and bring it back to a low simmer and toss your pasta in and it's done! [Lauren] look at those! So pretty and different, the 3 VEGAN PASTA SAUCES. [Lauren] ready to be devoured! Which one do i do first? [Lauren] i think you knew i was gonna go for the pumpkin. [Lauren] mm! [Lauren] i'm addicted! [Lauren] now go ahead and customise these. You can add other veggies in the mix if you want.

[Lauren] but i just wanna keep them clean and talk about the sauce. [Lauren] mm! [Lauren] the roasted red pepper is a little spicy, you can make it spicier too by adding more chili flakes. [Lauren] and it is nice to serve these immediately. Kind of make the sauce, toss the pasta and then eat.

[Lauren] but you could make these sauces ahead of time and just heat them up to go with your pasta. [Lauren] the avocado pesto will last a day or two without turning colour. [Lauren] so just give it a try. I know some people are skeptical of, basically guacamole pasta.

[Lauren] but it tastes like pesto and it makes it creamy [lauren] um, and there's no cheese, obviously. [Lauren] let me have one more bite. [Lauren]  the avocado pesto's actually good served as a cold pasta salad as well. [Lauren] warm or cold, it's fine.

[Lauren] you just don't want to heat the avocado up in a pan. [Lauren] you really just wanna take your hot pasta and toss it in the avocado pesto. [Lauren] cos then the avocado will start changing taste when you heat it too much. [Lauren] and i also sprinkled some hemp hearts on top but you could also use vegan parmesan cheese.

[Lauren] whatever you like, extra nutritional yeast. [Lauren] okay, so- or you could also use my pistachio crust duster, which is basically vegan parm. [Lauren] alright so that's it! These are very exciting dishes, i hope you like how easy they were, how simple, how delicious. [Lauren] you got everything you need to make them at home, i think! There's no strange ingredients here.

[Lauren] and we'll be back next wednesday with a brand new video as well, here on hot for food. [Lauren] we post every wednesday so subscribe, hit the notification bell button thing. [Lauren] so that you know when we're live, but usually every wednesday morning. [Lauren] i'm gonna go eat all of this! [Lauren] i'll see you guys next time.

$8 Pasta Vs. $100 Pasta

(Exciting fast music) - Oh, what's up? Hey, Andrew! How's it going? No come on, let's go, I got
another food adventure for us. - What are we eating? - Pasta. - All right. - Yeah, that's right.
(Fun rhythmic music) This guy right here, that's my boy.

Woo hoo, let's go! - This is wet, now I'm wet. - Pasta baby. We are on our way to eat
three of the best pastas in Los Angeles at three
drastically different price points, to find out which one is the
most worth it at its price. - Worth it.

- The last stop we're going to, I don't know if you're ready for it. - I've had $300 steak, $130 pizza, I think I'm ready for pasta. I have a feeling I know what
the highest one is gonna be. - No you don't, you ain't ready.

You weren't born ready. - Is it truffle though? - Don't worry about it, man. We're on our way right
now to Pasta Sister. Can I go this way? - No!
- No, no! - Do not enter!
- Yes, I can.

Where? - Oh yeah, it's a one way,
you can go down there. - Dang it guys. - If you start seeing cars
come towards us, just stop. (Serene lighthearted music) - I'm Francesco, I'm owner of Pasta Sister with my mother, Paola.

We decided to open this
place because we thought, in Los Angeles, there
are many great places, but very little made fresh pasta, low prices, like we do. We start early in the
morning making the pasta. We make it with Italian flour, because not all the
flours make good pasta. And not all the flour makes it yellow and beautiful to stay for seven days, like our pasta does.

- You guys are not sisters, obviously. I don't see any sisters here. - Sometimes though, they
say I'm the prettiest one. (People laughing) But my mom and her sister work here.

My sister Georgia, she
works in the front with us. Today we're gonna prepare
for you the tagliatelle arriabata, our lightly spicy tomato sauce. Put olive oil, chili
flakes, some garlic oil, when the pasta is ready,
you put the tomato sauce and put the parsleys, the last ingredient. And the pasta is done.

(Exciting rhythmic music) - Cheers.
- Cheers. - Wow, this tastes like the
adult version of root beer. Are we gonna eat off the same plate? - We got a lot of pasta to eat today, let's just avoid any Lady in
the Tramp type situations. - Here.

- Great, I hated that. It's very good pasta. - That was intense. - Every noodle is just blanketed in sauce.

- I also get that sense that I'm in his mamas kitchen in Italy. I've never been to Italy before but... (Man laughing) - We are gonna prepare, also, gnocchi, with a porcini mushroom and cream sauce. We use the porcini that
we made in the morning, adding some cream.

Everything made from scratch. - [Steven] Fresh gnocchi, he
described this as pillows. - [Andrew] Everything that
has ever been described as a pillow has been great. - This is like the ultimate
pillow fight for my mouth.

Holy smother.
- That's insane. - So is gnocchi pasta? - These are easily the
best gnocchi I've ever had. Oh man, we haven't had
any of this bread yet. - Look how easy it is to
pull apart, no effort at all.

- It's like mamas best. - These are all my moms best recipes. But from our secret menu, we
have the spaghetti bottarga, with the dry fish eggs from (mumbles). - [Steven] We're gonna
definitely get that, yeah buddy.

- [Andrew] Yeah. - You know when you've been a good boy, and your mom just gives
you an extra treat. Mmm. - I mean this flavor is insane, it tastes like it's covered in cheese, that's how rich it is.

- Why is this on the secret menu though? My stomach is full but
my heart is (mumbles). - I'm not gonna say
anything, so let's just go. - Talk about them sisters
though, I mean, not in that way. (Men laughing) - It's like a neighborhood
deli that also makes the best pasta you've ever had.

- They are unapologetic
about being themselves. - And they don't even have a bathroom. Speaking of which, we gotta
get to the next place ASAP. - Pasta fact! - Pasta fact, pasta fact! (Man screaming) - According to the International
Pasta Organization, how many different shapes of pasta are produced throughout the world? - There's an International
Pasta Organization? 100.

(Man loud screaming) 600? - Whoa! Did you cheat? You cheated. - No, I didn't. - There's more than 600 kinds, yes. - Really?
- Wowza! So right now we're on
our way Osteria Mamma.

How do you say excuse me in Italian? - Scusa. - No it's not. - Yeah it is. - Really? - Scusa, scusa papa pasta.

- There you go. - Do I sound remotely, at all, correct? (Exciting fun music) - This is Osteria Mamma,
my name is Filippo Cortivo. I am the owner. We opened this restaurant,
a gift to my mother.

That's why mamma is the name. This is our home. The dough, we have flour from Italy, some very delicate double zero flour. You can't be too fast,
you can't be too slow.

- [Steven] And that's why
it has to be handmade. - [Filippo] That's why we
do everything handmade, because we like to keep
control of that process. Then we let the pasta dry for
a while, and then it's ready. - What are you gonna be serving us today? - Today, we'll try two pasta.

The first dish we're gonna prepare is the black squid ink bigoli,
with the bottarga shrimp. But first we add cherry
tomato, we shave the bottarga, and as always, white wine. - What makes really good pasta for you? - Perfect pasta for
me, is when the noodles combine with the sauce, that's the flavor you have
exposed in your mouth. - Round two, course one.

Bigoli neri alla bottarga. - I do have a second stomach, I just like move it in
place when I need it. - I always have my second stomach engaged. (Light serene music)
- Cheers.

(Man groaning) - This is really special. - It is true what he said,
the noodles sucked in all the flavoring here. - This is a flavor explosion. - And then when it's in your mouth.

(Loud breath of air) - The second dish for you guys is gonna be the green spinach pappardelle
in a duck ragu sauce. It's extra virgin olive
oil, a little bit of garlic, the ground duck all ready pre-cooked, so you add a little bit of cherry tomato. - [Steven] White wine? - [Filippo] You know, we're Italian, so we like to put wine everywhere. (Men laughing) What we try to give is like
a little jump in Italy.

I told before about
explosion in your mouth, and the wine is a part of it. - It reminds me of me and Andrew, we're two very imperfect people, but together, perfect
explosion in the world. - [Andrew] Sure. - How's that wine? - Luxurious.

- Mmm, that has a deep smell. - How deep does it smell? - Kind of like your deep voice. - Let me get that pasta. - Cheers.

- Yeah. - That's a lot of flavor. - Control it to your mouth, please. - Uncontainable, you know what-- - Flavor explosion.

- No, it's not even an explosion anymore, it's like dynamite. - That is an explosion. (Loud slurping) It's the first time I've
made that sucking noise on the show today. - This pasta is not just more expensive.

- You're getting more
there, you're getting that meat sauce, you're getting
that complete fish dish. - And it's still simple. If one of us is pasta,
and one of us is sauce. Who's pasta, who's sauce? - Say who you think you are on three.

One, two, three. - [Both] Pasta. (Men laughing lightly) Do you like that? The squid ink pasta, never
had a noodle like that. It was very imperfect and craggly, but it was also a thick strand.

- I think the best dish we had so far, was the duck ragu one. - [Adam] Pasta fact, some
of the earliest recorded reports of eating noodles come from China as early as 5000 BC. Pasta fact. - All righty, the last
place, the final spot.

We're gonna get some truffle pasta. - I called it. - But this is gonna be different. They're gonna be lighting a
wheel of Parmesan on fire.

It's dinner and a show. As far as (mumbles), I
freaking love white truffle. - Do your pasta dance. Cut that out.

- Pasta. (Intense dramatic music) - What sort of noodle
are you making there? And do you make it here? (Men laughing) - So it's an Italian dish, but you're putting a French spin on it. - Excited. Ready for a show.

- Let's go. That is the white truffle,
you all ready started-- Here you go Andrew. Thank you so much Chef. But to end the day, we have the $100 flambeed white truffle pasta dish.

Are you prepared? - I've had five pastas today, I think I'm as prepared as I'll ever be. So this is the first
time that some theatrics have been added to our dining experience. Are you gonna have any wine? - I'm gonna have a taste. (Serene light music) This is splendid.

I need a moment to
prepare myself to eat it. So if you wanna take a bite first, I derive pleasure from
watching people eat. - I don't like that you're
just watching me eat. Damn it.

You better get in here. - I feel like camera guy should
have some before I should. - Are you gonna have any of
this because it's really good, and I have no self control. - Okay, I'm gonna take a bite.

- How's it going? - Mmm. - Disappointed? - Mmm. - [Andrew] No, I don't think so. - Wow, the white truffle is indescribable.

And we talked about
flavor explosions today, this is the most intense flavor explosion. - I just live life one
flavor explosion at a time. - You more so do it just
like a bunch at a time, you never stop eating. You feel like our French
(mumbles) been cemented? - I feel like my stomach
has been cemented, with about two pounds of pasta.

- Just admit it. - I admit nothing. - We just ate six different
pasta dishes in one day. You know what's coming? Which pasta was the most worth it.

I do believe that $100 pasta,
it was worth the money. You got interact with the chef. - The fact that he flambeeded... - Yeah.
(Quiet burping) - Hey, that's a $35 burp right there.

- But to me, that wasn't the
most worth it, at it's price. - Osteria Mamma, you
get the handmade pasta, married with a great sauce,
no question it's worth it. - My worth it winner today, hands down, goes to Pasta Sister.
(Bell ringing) - [Andrew] Yeah, I also pick Pasta Sister. - Yowza.

A25 for authentic Italian cuisine straight from their handmade pasta to my mouth. (Man laughing) Unbelievable. - They had the most incredible
gnocchi I've ever had. - I guess we should really
ask Bianci what he thinks, considering he is the most
Italian person in this car.

- He grew up in Ohio. - Oh, me too. Pasta lavista. - No! I love it when you call me big pasta.

(Men laughing) I just remembered that one. - [Man] Oh yes!.

Potatoes - You Suck at Cooking (episode 74)

We'll start by washing a potato under cold tap water. Then we'll fill a pot with water. It can be cold or hot water. Turn on the stove, place the pot on the burner, then put the potato inside the pot.

Putting a lid on the pot will make the water boil more quickly. Once that's boiling, you can reduce the temperature a little bit. You'll want to let it cook for between 10 and 20 minutes, depending on how thick your potato is. You can check it every now and then with a fork.

Once it's tender all the way through, it's done. That's not quite done yet. If too much water boils off you can add more hot water. We'll just check it again here...

Seems like it still needs a few more minutes. It's been around 15 minutes now, so I'm gonna test it again. And that feels pretty tender. So I'm going to place it on a plate, and turn off the stove.

Then you can cut it open. Sprinkle on some salt, a little bit of butter, and some pepper. And that's all there is to making a potato. *Happy April Fools!*.

Pesto - You Suck at Cooking (episode 73)

It's been called the greatest sauce to ever walk the face of the Earth by me. It's been called the Italian basil smoothie also by me. It's been called alien blood sauce by Devin. Rude, Devin! [Devin] Oh, I was-- I was just kidding--
[YSAC] Be quiet, Devin! (In Italian) You suck at cooking yeah you totally suck.

The heart and soul of pesto is basil which has a long, storied history The ancient Egyptians used basil in embalming. In Greece, basil was a symbol of mourning. In Buck Creek, Indiana people rub it on their tires for good luck. This mysterious plant begs the question: "How could a leaf be so tasty?" You couldn't possibly pack any more flavor into something so thin if you try.

Unless you made a basil-bacon sandwich which is sort of cheating, but really delicious. (Crunch) Mmm, basil. This one basil leaf I bought from the farmers' market has more flavor than this bag of assorted deciduous which I also bought from the farmers' market. Get back outside! You wouldn't think being really delicious would be a great survival strategy but Basil's like: [Basil] "I'm gonna make myself so delicious you'll cultivate the f*** out of me! (In an evil voice) and then I will be immortal FOREVER!" I realize both of those words sorta mean the same thing but y-you catch my drift.

But could it just be people who think it's that tasty? Are giraffes looking down on us, thinking: [Giraffe] "Those stupid humans eating that trash weed. Pass me some more eucalyptus, Rick" Until we stop being selfish and start teaching giraffes how to talk, we'll never know. Another interesting ingredient in pesto is pine nuts. Pine nuts obviously come from Christmas trees.

Extracting them is pretty straightforward. All you have to do is take of the shiny ornaments and smash it to get the pine nuts out. You can also get them from a pine cone if you want blander, more inferior pine nuts that are a waste of time and disrespectful to baby Jesus. But how is it that the pine needles contain so much flavor and powerful bitterness, when so many other types of needles simply taste bland and painful? Get back outside! Also, do pine trees know that cactuses exist? And if they met, would they be friends or enemies? So this recipe calls for: a half cup of olive oil, a packed half cup of Parmesan cheese, a 1/3 cup of pine nuts, a clove or two of garlic, and two cups of basil.

But how do you measure a cup of basil? That's a cup of basil. Also a cup of basil. That's a British cup of basil. It's much more accurate to go by weight, but not a lot of smartphones have scales on them yet.

So, I made this homemade balance scale. You'll know when it's exactly two cups of basil when it balances with exactly seven to ten small to medium-large sized pieces of random gravel. And we're going to add a squeeze of lemon. Now I'm not sure how many lemons were kicking around Genoa, Italy in 1576 when somebody decided to throw these ingredients together, but I can tell you from personal expericence that the squeeze of a lemon really ties the room together.

I'm throwing in everything but the cheese right now because I'm not using a food processor where I can really control how blended it gets. I'm gonna stir the cheese in afterward to retain some texture. (Sound of food blending) Another way you could create some texture is to power stone cut your nuts. (Sound of food blending) Why does pesto contain the word pest when it is not in fact a destructive insect or other animal that attacks crops, food, or livestock? The word "Pesto" actually comes from a Genoan word than means pound because you used to have pound this stuff together with a pounder.

But since we blend it now, we should probably change its name to "Blendo." Also, the term "gimme a pound" Comes from the Genoan term: "May I please borrow your pestle." If you can't get hold of any basil, pine nuts, or the other ingredients; you can make a pesto with: butter, cottage cheese, garlic-salt, pistachios, and parsley. Well this will earn you an instant lifetime ban from Italy, sometimes that's the price you have to pay to make your way in this unforgiving world.  Pesto,  you're what a mess though   Inside my chesto   Pesto   Pesto, let's make a nesto   Where we can resto   While I digesto   Pesto .

Korean Vlog Cooking Vegan Choco Mug Cake + Favorite IG Story AppDTV #99

Hi there Qtees <3 lol wassup Qtees :) Its been a while since our last Korean-speaking Vlog And its going to be a bit awkward, but hope you enjoy! Thank you very much <3 It has also been a while since our last visit to a cafe where we drink coffee and open P. O. Box gifts that our Qtees sent to us <3 Actually Qtees have been sending us so many gifts through our P.O. Box, but we were so busy for the past couple of weeks, which delayed us from opening the gifts :( The temptation to open them ahead was REAL!! Also, by the end of this video were planning to film QQs Cooking Show so make sure to stick around with us until the end! (My Korean today is so awkward T.T) BUT! Before heading to the cafe, we have a quick question to aks you Qtees! Have you ever heard of an app called Snow? Its an app with these cute emoji stickers and we often used them on our Insta stories as well as on our DTV vlogs couple of times Yup! Im pretty sure many of you Qtees are already aware of Snow app :) Snow app is well known as a selfie app in Korea And recently they came up with new filters and stickers that you can use it for a rear camera So, well walk through 3 of the filters with you today! Let's try using them together :) First, well show you how to use the Analogue filters Analogue filter is really good for capturing vintage or melancholy images Well try it for ourselves outside.

Lets go! Wait for me sis! =.= There are so many Cherry blossoms blooming in Korea lately <3 aren't they beautiful? :) Lets try getting the best shot here! Can you touch that tree and look up sis? Good, good lol Wait...Thats too much man lol Can you please do it in more appealing way? NOOOOO! SIS!!!! Now, Ill try using the Analogue filter Qwon: Can you please take me from the bottom? O..Okay Qwon: Please make me look taller! O...Okay sis Qwon: Please make me look like as if Im 59 If you click that right button you'll be able to see these 4 different types of Analogue filters A1 filter looks like this Here's A2 Could you please do some 'pretty' pose sis?! This is A4 I personally like A3 the most Wow, this filter is amazing Qwon: Please take me pretty sis lol Okay man, please stay still!! Lol Qwon: Make me look tallerrrrrr!! Please stay STILLLLLLLL. I'm getting exhausted man Wow It's like an art! Since the weather is amazing these days, I think it would be perfect to use Analogue filters outdoors Because the filter corrects the image itself, it's very convenient as well The next filter that we'll be introducing is called 'Spring filter' it's a filter that makes photos look pinky and cute There are 3 different types of Spring filters Rather than taking a photo, this time, we'll bring a photo from our gallery and layer the filter on top Go to photo gallery... I'm sure our Qtees are familiar with this photo from our Instagram <3 ...Then click the filter button... It has 3 different types of Sping filters This is S1 filter S2 filter and S3 filter S1 filter has the strongest shade of pink Thus, let's go for S1 filter SAVE! Tada~ It really brightens up the image For the last sticker, we'll show you how to use it at our house Go go! So, the last one we'll be introducing is called 'Girlfriend lens sticker' Cool thing about this sticker is that when you take a photo of someone, it automatically blurs out the background Thus, it's best to use it when there are too many things going on at the background or you can use it while you are traveling and there are too many tourists behind you when taking a photo It helps to focus on the person in the photo and become less distracted by the background So, shall we try using the Girlfriend lens sticker?! Cick that smile emoji button at the left side of the screen This square box that has the word 'dslr' is the Girlfriend lens sticker The top one captures images in full color, while the bottom one caputres images only in black & white For us, we'll try using the color image Can you do some cute pose sis? One, two, three! Stay still! I think I got it Wow! I look so pretty man!! 0_0 Lmao And it really blurs out everything on the background It's definitely less distracting By the way, you can capture both photos and videos using the Girlfriend lens sticker Click the smile emoji button...

I'm going to try the black & white image One, two, three! Qjin: Sis, it's a bit difficult staying still in this pose... O..Okay! I got it!

I Tried Cooking A Recipe From The 1910s

- Doesn't smell horrible. Okay, there's the smell. Yup that's pungent. (Light upbeat music) Hi, I'm Alix, and I love
cooking and history.

Throughout history there have been hundreds of food trends
that have come and gone. Today, I'm gonna be trying
out one of these recipes and seeing if it's edible. Okay, Oyster and Chicken Pie. (Light upbeat music) It's very vague, very under-seasoned, seems a little random and weird.

I feel like when you see a
pie, like a chicken-pot-pie, it's really like, comforting
and warm and inviting. If I dove into this pie,
I'd be very disappointed. I guess I'm just gonna go line by line. The first thing to do
is parboil a chicken.

I have no idea how much
chicken I'm suppose to boil, but I have, I guess,
four breasts right here, so we'll go with that. It immediately turns white. I'm also gonna be hard-boiling
the eggs at the same time. Nice chicken water in here, which is pretty fowl.

(Chuckles) It looks a little like human flesh. We're off to a good start here. - [Woman] Wanna hear a fact. - Yeah sure.

(Smooth jazz music) I guess, yeah, actually
oysters are an aphrodisiac, so I guess everyone's really
horny back in the day. (Laughs) Cool down a little before I peel them, and then we're gonna cut up this partially cooked chicken. They're looking nice and white. (Upbeat psychedelic music) Over this, place, oh great,
we're at the oyster part.

So, over this chicken,
place one pint of oysters. Doesn't say to drain
them, but I'm going to, because I don't know if
I'd wanna pour, like, oyster juice all over this chicken. Product may contain shell fragments. That seems dangerous.

Ohhhh. Okay I'm just gonna air
it out for a second. I'm not even exaggerating,
that is so strong. Okay.

(Upbeat, jazzy music) Alright, next. If I can make it. Add two hard-boiled eggs,
cut into small pieces. Whoever invented this recipe was like, what else can we put on top of this.

But, at least it adds, like,
a nice pop of color, I guess. A tablespoonful of butter. Do I just put it in the middle like, or am I suppose to cut it up? Like, there's no internet in these days so you would think that they would be more detailed with the recipes. I guess I'm just gonna
just cut the tablespoon up and like put it in each third.

Some celery, chopped fine. What is, some celery? I'm guessing it's more than one stock, less than three. (Upbeat, futuristic music) We're gonna put this finely
chopped celery on top. Celery's also very bland,
it's basically water.

(Upbeat, jazzy music) Yikes, that sounds like a problem. Yeah, I can't wait to eat this now. Now, for the seasoning. They say salt and cayenne,
which is a little bizarre.

I don't wanna get too heavy handed with this cayenne right now but actually, maybe I should. I prefer my mouth be numb
when I bite into this. (Laughs) Yeah, this is actually
the most confusing part. Moisten with flour and and a gill of milk.

Still don't know what a gill of milk is. I fortunately am not from the
1910s and I have a cellphone, so I'm gonna look up
what a gill of milk is. Okay, it's a half a cup. I guess I'm just gonna go for it.

So if it's like a half cup, oop, okay. I'm assuming I have to stir it up because I feel like that
would be really bizarre. The milk at the bottom is now like the oyster chicken juice water. Put the puff paste on top.

They don't call it puff pastry,
they call it puff paste. So, I guess in the 1910s you had to make your own puff pastry, but that's like, really fuckin' hard, so I will not be doing that. (Upbeat, modern music) Maybe I'll use these scraps to make a little design on top. I feel like I should make an oyster design just so people know what
they're getting into.

My oyster kinda looks like a vagina. So, I'm gonna do an egg wash on this even though it doesn't
say that in the recipe. I want this to at least look pretty if it's not going to taste very good. Also, they didn't tell us
how hot the oven should be.

40 Minutes in a moderate oven. I'm gonna say moderate is, 350. (Upbeat, futuristic music) Alright, so, it's been 40 minutes. Was the fastest 40 minutes of my life, 'cause now I have to try this pie.

Something I've been dreading. (Upbeat, optimistic music) How bad can it be? I don't know if I can... - [Producer] Oh no. (Mumbling) - Oh man, I need someone
else to try this though because I don't know if
it's just me, and like, I don't really like oysters that much.

(Upbeat, optimistic music) - I don't think it's that
bad, I'm kind of into it. - Ooooh. - The whiff is not promising. - Yeah, I can't say
that's a pleasant smell.

- I wouldn't go out of my way to eat this, but I would stop eating it if
I was being polite to someone. - It's not totally
offensive or undelicious. Are there potatoes in here? - It tastes like, if I was a character in
Spongebob Squarepants, and I just ingested
like, all of the ocean. - I don't hate it, I'll say that.

- No, it's not, it's not good. - Like I don't understand why any of this being together was
necessary in any capacity. - It's a taste that some
people might prefer, and we don't flavor shame. If you didn't have taste
buds, you might think, hey, this is probably a pretty good pie.

- It's like the ingredients were held together by Elmer's glue. - It is a little bit hard
to eat, to be honest. (Upbeat, acoustic music).

Game Day Artichoke Dip - You Suck at Cooking (episode 71)

Hhhhh *stretch* *crick* Mmmmm *crack* You suck at cooking, yeah you totally suck So we're gonna take some Parmesan cheese, get that grated into smithereens, and then put 1 cup of that Parmesan into a bowl *ding ding* Then, we're gonna crack open a couple of mayo pods Usually, two is enough to get a 1/2 cup Throw that in the bowl, aaand... Then a 1/2 cup of sour cream. You basically want 1 cup of Parmesan to 1 cup of wet stuff. That could be a cup of Parm, 1/2 cup mayo, 1/2 cup greek yogurt That could be 1/2 cup Parmesanio, 1/3 mayo, 1/3 sour cream, 1/3 greek yogurt Could be 1 cup Parmesanezia, 1/2 cup mayo, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/2 cup cream cheese If you're a maniac, it can be 1 cup Parmesanana and 1 cup mayo or it could be 1 cup Parmesan to 1/2 cup mayo and a 1/2 cup water with white food coloring in it Y O U   D E C I D E.

Then, you're gonna need a leek and because it's game day, I'm gonna chop this with my Knifesketball It's far more efficient than a conventional chopping knife because... You utilize the bounce, which basically chops it for you and this is a great example of why physics is a good thing, and not a bad thing. I'm gonna take some garlic, aaaand... Because it's game day, I'm gonna use my Shredminton Racket These things are amazing at picnics.

To combine this, I'm gonna use my official 2018 Federer Edition Grand Slamjangler They only made a hundred thousand of these. I'm gonna crack *tss* open a cold one *khh* with the boys *fffsssshhhhhhhh* and because it's game day, I'm gonna cut these up with my... Chopping knife *cutting these up with a Chopping Knife intensifies* Let's add in those artichokes, some salt, some pepper pepper pepper... And because it's game day, I'm gonna throw in a slash a Hocksauce There's a lot of other things you could add to this: basil, roasted red pepper, sun-dried tomato, jalapeo, anything you think might taste good even though you're wrong aaaand we're gonna...

Pour this into a shallow baking dish that I stole from my sister without telling her but that's how you get for taking back the Vitamix Undoh's on four hundo, and we're gonna let that bake until the top starts to brown. If you don't have an undoh or you want to save money on electricity, you can just chuck it in a hot car for a few hours... And then once you eat it, you can drive yourself directly to the hospital. *S L A M* While that's baking, we're gonna get ready for the big game.

I've got my mini keg... Helmet, so I won't have to get up too often to get another drink I've got my catheter, so I won't have to get up at all... Got my game day shirt Everyone knows I'm a HUGE Glitterbacks fan If they winOH, this stuff's gonna be EVERYWHERE! I've got my let's party sign so everyone knows... It's time to party I've got my emotional guidance chart so I remember how to respond depending on how the game goes I got my lucky football for my second favorite team *Windows shutdown sound* Go on MVP *bluescreen of silence* If we win, I've got some extra beer to celebrate with If we lose, I've got...

Some extra beer to drink I got my ref insult practice station here Hey, ref! Why don't you STOP being a jack wagon, and start REFFING for once in your life! High five, high five, high five, high five Hey, ref! You couldn't ref, even if you had very, specific, reffing instructions that told you how to DO it right! High five, high five, high five, high five Now, the final step to getting ready for the big game is to make sure everyone knows who the alpha is. I do that by wearing my yellow belt, so every dude in the room knows I can take him. If you're wearing one of these, you're not gonna get challenged 99 out of a thousand times. I got my eye drops I put an entire bottle in each eye so that I will not, blink, once.

And the most important quality of the alpha is height If you're only 7' 2" like me, you're gonna need a pair of alpha pumps. This allows me to tower over everybody These things are a little tricky to walk in, so if I'm having a cocktail, I throw it in a sippy cup... Because if I spill something, that clumsiness will immediately open up a challenge to my alpha authority. *B I G   S I P P* If someone DOES decide to challenge you, put your foot down, stay calm, and reveal your "I'm the alpha" shirt underneath your game day shirt.

If the dude won't back down, slip him 20 bucks and say, "Hey man, is it cool if... I'm the alpha, just for today? I mean, like, I made all the snacks, it's my apartment, and it would... Really mean a lot, uh, to me... I-i-if you're cool with that." This works every time.

So now that we know a hundred percent who the alpha is, I'm gonna get back in the kitchen and check on that dip. *Graceful alpha walk* *reverb on* Observe how the dip is lightly golden crusted, bubbling steadily like a hot mayo and artichoke volcano. *Reverb off* You can eat this with crackers, you can eat this with tortilla chips... I'm gonna eat this with cauliflower, since I'm totally getting ripped on keto right now Just throw in a bit of a...

Game day golf ball garnish here... And let's get out there and, uh, go sports!  SPORTS!  SPORTS!  SPORTS!   Let's play sports!   BOOKS!  BOOKS!  BOOKS!   Let's read books!   Let's play sports and let's read books and   be well-rounded human beings!   SPORTS!   BOOKS!   SPORTS! .
