Upcoming Holiday Plans - Episode 2571

Great news. Dirty Keto is now on Amazon. Go, if you're living in the US, go straight to Amazon and get dirty keto, watch it, rate it and review it. If you're outside of the US, meaning Western Europe or Canada or Mexico, it's not there yet. Don't ask me why. Listen, those people made me put a PG-13 rating on it when there was nothing in it that would have caused that.

But let's get ahead of this thing. Let's watch it, rate it and review it. Go get Dirty Keto right now and on with the show.

With Vinnie Tortorich, founder of NSNG, and his co-host, Anna the Gino.

I am in each other and spoke. You're gonna tend to tap and stow them, but don't worry. I'm here to have to get them back. You may be soft and succulent at the beginning of the process of hanging there. Before long, you'll be leading me in Tarantino. I was tired of my lady. We've been together too long. Like a worn out recording of a favorite song. So while she laid there sleeping,

I read the paper in bed. And in the personal columns. Was this letter I read? Yeah. You can't turn it down red before the refrain. Get caught in the rain. If you're not into your gut. If you have half a brain. Yeah. If you like making love at midnight.

Yeah, I can tell you all the words on it. As a matter of fact, if I ever do karaoke and as it turns out, if as it turns out, I may have to do it right before Christmas, the neighbors invited us over. Some of the scontamasai will be in town here. And my neighbor loves to do karaoke. I've never done karaoke in my life. As you know, I can't sing.

Uh, so that might, the Rupert Holmes escape song, the Pina Colada song might be my, uh, my offering. Yeah. You saying happy birthday to Debbie with me off, off Mike. So you can sing. Yeah, but to do it with music and the whole thing I'm going to be, you know, it's like people in front of you goofing on you. I don't know. I don't know if I could do it.

Maybe I'm going to see if I could pull it up online and see if I can practice once or twice. Yeah. See if I could pull it off. Is that a possibility? Can you do that? Can you pull up like online karaoke? You mean lip sync? No, like, like, if I went to the Google machine and said, Hey, play, escape by Rupert Holmes without the words. Karaoke track. Yes.

You could do that. I'm sure there. Yeah, I'm sure there's karaoke tracks on YouTube. However, the only thing is you don't know if it's going to be the right key that you practice it in. Well, that's the thing. You see, I'm tone deaf. So I can't. Oh, it doesn't matter. But you see, I could do it into my phone and then listen back. OK. Maybe I want to listen back. Yeah, I need to see how bad it is. OK. Maybe I can goof on me too. OK.

You know, I can say, oh, man, maybe I shouldn't do that. Maybe I should go to like something I can do. You know, maybe you should do like a song where they like talk sing or rap. Maybe you any rap songs?

No, I've never, I've never listened to. I know, I know the hip, the hop, the hip and hip hop song, you know, like the sugar hill gang. I know that one from like 1978. That's about it. Okay. I don't think that would be putting barbecue dust on pork. That's what's happening right now. Let's see.

Oh, you know what, this could be, this could be me on karaoke. Hannah, you want to hear this? Mm hmm. We're going to, folks, we're going to get to, I got lots of talk about today, but it's Thanksgiving, y'all. Yeah, it's Thanksgiving. I might have to do karaoke down Louise. Yeah. And they're having turkey out of the, out of the friggin fridge. I could do this. We definitely got our train here.

I mean, really, we need to do this. See, I could just talk it out. I could just talk it out. See, I could just talk it out. See, I could just talk it out. See, I could just talk it out. See, I could just talk it out. See, I could just talk it out. See, I could just talk it out. See, I could just talk it out. See, I could just talk it out. See, I could just talk it out. See, I could just talk it out. See, I could just talk it out. See, I could just talk it out. See, I could just talk it out. See, I could just talk it out. See, I could just talk it out. See, I could just talk it out. See, I could just talk it out. See, I could just talk it out. See, I could just talk it out. See, I could just talk it out. See, I could just talk it out. See, I could just talk it out

We got it together, baby. Yeah, that's what I need to do. You get a very white talk song. Oh, yeah. Just you and me, baby. We got it together. Just you and me. That's good. Yeah. It sounds really similar to your Sam Elliott. I almost said Sam Shepherd because I tend to say that. It's all the same thing. Yeah.

But we're going to get together, baby. And one of the songs he goes, I want you to take off that bazir, my dear. Yeah, you get all naked. I'm going to need you to have. He's almost like this. He's almost like the black sling blade. Yeah. I'm going to need you to take off all your clothes. I want you to come in this bedroom, the way you came onto this earth. Yeah, I can do Barry White. OK, I think you can. Yeah.

Definitely. Yeah. Look, let's see what I'm doing. I'm getting the barbecue dose on the on the fatty bits on the sides of the pork chops. No, hang on. What Anne is doing is she getting her rub all over her meats. Mm hmm. She got a very elegant fling blade is what that is. She got a pot of she got it all over the edge of a meat. She put it all on the fatty parts. That's part. Hold on. Yeah, I know who you sound like.

Go on. Side order. Oh, I sound just like my daddy, who sounds like Scat Man Corothers. Yeah. And see, see, here's what happened. I took the little shaker top off and it was, it was clumping because you know, we don't have no anti-caking in there. So I just smashed it, put it on the thing. Now I'm going to set it aside. I'm going to make a Thanksgiving side right now. Wait, Anna, hang on. You just taught me something. Put that plate down. Lift that thing up again. The powder, the powder.

Oh. What I do is I go to the thing, all right, show the top. All right. Now, Anna, move the thing around. Yeah, I usually lose the shaker. Now, now, now, go around and put the big hole. I do that one. I do that and I take, I take the fork or the knife and stick it through there. But what did you do? You took the whole top off. This top is the same as our old aluminum plugs. So you just, you could just put your nail under there and lift it out. Show me how I'll put it on camera. We can't see what you're doing there, Anna.

Okay, here I'm closing. You're teaching us right now. I've always just gone in there because folks, the reason this stuff is so good. She doesn't put anti-caking. Wait, Anna, wait, let me teach you something. Put the big hole in the sticky finger underneath. Oh, yeah. Do that. Hold on. And then you won't break your nails. That's right. Yeah, there we go. Boom. Anna, I just learned something. All this. I thought that thing was glued in there. No.

No, it's pressurized. OK, so let me tell the audience what we're talking about. Anna makes these powders. She makes the barbecue powder. She makes the one that clumps up the most, I think, is the dill for whatever reason. Yeah, mind us. And the reason it clumps the most. The reason it clumps up is because Annie does Annie. Anna doesn't put any anti-caking agent in there. It's all this is all fresh herbs.

And, you know, that's why these other companies put all that stuff. So, you know, you guys still label it. No, they don't have to. So Anna, you know, I would go in and break it up with a knife. I'd just stick a knife in there and break it up. But Anna just taught me something brand new. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Let me just tell you, because we're going to talk about some Thanksgiving prep. You're obviously prepping to be very Elliot.

Sigh-torter-rich, he's got man. I'm doing that for Christmas. Yeah, you're doing that for Christmas. You have one month. You have one month. Oh, I'm going to practice. You better practice. One thing that needs to not happen is you embarrassing me on that stage. Oh, I'm going to get up there and I'm going to be Barry, effing white. That's right.

That's right. And I'm serious when he talks about the woman take off your brassiere, my dear. That's the words in one of the songs. I'm going to find it before the end of this podcast. And if she's like any other normal woman, she's like gladly because it's been a long day and I need to take his brassiere off. Yeah, I want to let those puppies get some air. Let them swing loose.

All right, I just heated up some Villa Capella, I'm gonna make this little thing. Yeah today, if you're listening this on Monday, I'm gonna tell you something. If you have a frozen turkey, you need to take it out of your freezer and put it in your fridge no later than Tuesday morning. Maybe even do it Monday night, okay? Do you hear me? You guys listening? You listening to Anna? You listening?

I am making the zucchini and squash casserole because I wanted to make something a little Thanksgiving-y that's on my list of Thanksgiving stuff. But I didn't want to go all the way with like, because I don't want to get tired of Thanksgiving food before it's even Thanksgiving. So I thought, what would go good with that pork chops and barbecue dust? So I already put the barbecue dust in the pork chops. And Lauren will grill those later when he feels like it. I'm going to use salt dust for this recipe. This recipe, I have a whole video in the thing. We'll link to it. I'll send it to Leona.

But it's just that really it's one of my favorite veggie casseroles. And then I got into an argument with the guy at Albertsons today. Oh, you're muted. Wait, what happened? You muted yourself. No, I'm muted myself because I'm looking for I'm looking for something for the show. Okay. No, I was at Albertsons.

And you know when you do the self-checkout, which by the way, when you do the self-checkout at Albertsons, did you know that they don't even have a cashier that they pay before like 10 a.m.? Because I was there at 8 a.m. this morning. But they look at you through the camera. That's what I don't like. They're looking at you. What I don't understand is I had way more than 15 items. I was shopping for what I'm prepping today. I was shopping for the next like three or four days, way more than 15 items.

And they were talking about, you still have to go to the cell check out because we don't pay someone to ring up your groceries before 10 AM. At the biggest Albertsons in the surrounding county, they don't pay anybody to ring up your groceries before 10 AM.

So I go to self check out and I consider myself a self check out pro. I'm like, that's fine. I got it. I'll just do it. But I bought a lot of veg today, bought a lot of produce. And it turns out basically every produce I chose didn't have a sticker on it. So see if you can scan the sticker. No, no, you got you got to look it up. They don't have to look it up. This is this is what happened. So I start to look it up. And this is a summer squash or a yellow squash, right? That's what this what I'm holding right now. This yellow squash is also known as a summer squash. Right.

And I put in the word squash and it came up with two rows and then nothing else of what it was. And the only thing that was even closer mode is in summer baby squash. Now, these aren't babies, but they are small, right? So I tapped that and then it automatically said, you need help from the guy. You got to get help from the worker or whatever. So I call him over and I said, it says that I need help, but I picked the right thing and he goes, no, you didn't.

Okay. They can't be nice to you. You're in there buying stuff. I'm like, I'm sorry that you're the only person in here because they refuse to pay somebody to ring us up before 10 a.m. But I was also like, okay, it turns out the two levels of squashes that they showed that you're supposed to hit next and then it shows more squash. Now,

This particular case, the yellow summer squash was two pages down. I thought when you hit next, it meant like next, like you're going to go to the payments. Yeah, next. Now you can pay, right? So then I go to ring up the onion and I go through all the onions and it didn't have the brown onions that were on sale for 99 cents. So I hit this other yellow onion and I wound up being $3 a pound. I was like, well, I want to pay $3 a pound.

Like if it was $1.70, you know what I'm saying? I was like, oh, that's like three times as much. Right. So I go over to him and look, I'm sorry. I hit the wrong onion and I couldn't find the brown one. She's like, they're there. Okay. And so he found them. I did not. I apologize to him for not seeing it. Got it rung up. Then I go to pick up my zucchini.

And when I think of zucchini in my head, I think of zucchini squash. That's what I call it in my head. So I start typing the word squash again. And he goes, that zucchini, it's not squash. But it is of the squash family. But he had to immediately mansplain me at what the fuck a zucchini is. And I was like, yeah, I got it. I know what I'm purchasing. And I go, are you in a bad mood today?

And he goes, no, this is the nicest I can be. And I was like, OK, oh, wow, that that was as nice. I know. Well, I was like, oh, thank you. And I got something that's going to make you feel better. OK, thanks. That's not a real problem. No, no, but this is the song that I'm going to do as my karaoke. I figured out which one he talked. Yeah, where he talks even more.

All right. You want you want to hear a little bit of it? Tell me if this is a better song for me. Yeah. Yeah. And in the meantime, I'm going to peel time leaves off of the time thing and just put it in the pan. All right. Here we go. This is one Mr. Barry White, man from Compton, California. You know, he was a love doctor. I mean, this guy was the guy.

I mean, Teddy Pendergrass couldn't hold a candlestick to one Mr. Barry White. But this is a song where he said, I want you to come. I want you to come in his bed. We found a Brazil song. I'm so glad. I think the Brazil. I think I think it's in this song. OK. OK, you ready? You want to hear it? Here you go. Yes. All right. Pay attention. Hey, it's like I couldn't. Baby, take it on. Yeah.

Yeah, I don't need that thought. I want you the way you came into the world. I don't want to feel no clothes. That's right. Nothing. No clothes. I don't want to see no panties. No panties out of nothing. And take on that position of my dead.

Yeah. Oh, he's driving now. He's like sesame Street. I hope she doesn't have bull socks on. Everybody's gone. The kings of the sea are all full. The spiggles may be your name.

This night, we're gonna get it on. To love, certainly. Yeah, you know what get it on means, right, Anna? Sexual activity. Yeah, they're gonna be doing some fucking... Listen, are you ready? Yeah. I love the backup singers. Easiest job in the world when you got Barry White at the helm. You know I get it when you move.

There's no way you know how it is. And I'm very glad I know that you feel the same way too. They're all gonna lay here, and they're all gonna make love. I know we're gonna do it like it's supposed to be done. Yeah, they're gonna beg me to stop singing at some point, because there's gonna be kids in your audience.

Very depth of our soul will reach out tonight. Oh, yeah You know it's gonna confuse the kids in the audience

what? He says, take that phone off of the receiver. Take that receive off of the hook. They won't even know what that means. You have to update the lyrics to put your phone in airplane mode. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Take your cell phone, put it in his bag because we don't want to buy it. Yeah. Nothing. Yeah. I'm going to show you something real quick. I saw Tae, one of the onions that I got the right price for. Nice. Yeah. He's got a little

little color on there, steer. Now, I'm going to teach you all something. I put about a half a teaspoon of the salt dust in there. I'm going to show you something, Vinny. This is going to blow your mind. This is my favorite kind of time like this, right? Yeah. This, this is great. And, but it takes longer to get the leaves off because it's got you to different branches because with this one, you do like this.

Whoops, hold on. Oh, God, damn it. So far. Can I tell you something? You know, we do. Yeah, I see what you did, but we take the whole time, like the other spring that you had. We just throw it in in the thing, no matter what we make, we throw the whole thing in there. I don't recommend doing that with this recipe. Like whenever we have like someone, you know, someone

at the house, we'll take it out before we serve it. But when it's just us, we leave it in, you just have to know. Nothing. So then you just know, you do that with certain recipes to get the all flavor in. It's gonna cook for a long time. This one you specifically gotta just put the leaves in. So that's why I like to do that. But I'm gonna save all the, oh, that looks not bad. I'm gonna save all this time because Thanksgiving's coming up and I'm gonna put these in a little cup of water and they're gonna last till Thanksgiving. So I do with all the all the clippings. You put them in,

a little cup of water like that, and it'll stay fresh for a couple of weeks. Yeah. So I don't have to go buy more herbs before. You don't grow that at your house. You don't grow thyme. We do. But we do. But it's I used it all up a couple of weeks ago. Yeah. And it didn't grow back right. So I got to plant some more. Folks, you do yourself a favor. You can save some money. And it's always fresher. Pull it out of the ground. We do it with Bosley Co meant time and a few other lemons. Make sure you plant your mint in a separate pot.

Yeah, because men everything else will take the flavor of mint. It's a weed. Yeah. So yeah. And it's invasive. It's invasive. So if you don't plant it in a pot, it will end up everywhere. I have so much time. Look at that. I get what you did there. I love time. And now I'm going to start to slice out some zucchini. So

What is Serena making for Thanksgiving? Do you know? Well, as it turns out, as you know, we're going down to Louisiana for Thanksgiving, Caitlin Thanksgiving. Okay. And my youngest brother, you know, he was planning on being a grandfather, like right on a right around Thanksgiving day, right? By the way, first

Like none of my brothers, kids have had kids. Oh my gosh. Is Maureen losing her mind? She's so excited. Maureen is now a great grandmother. Yeah. So it turns out they have to induce labor and go early because of some complications. And the mother and the baby are completely healthy. The baby's been sucking oxygen out for about three days on the planet for about three days as we record this.

So by the time you hear this is going to be a week down the road, baby is about a week or two old mother and baby doing great. But as it turns out, my brother Mark and his wife will now be home in their house for Thanksgiving because his son lives in Florida. So they went there for the birth and the whole thing. Now they're back. So Serena and I will not have to cook.

The whole thing is going to heal because I refuse to do a turkey. It's like, Hey, I hope everybody I know my mom's going to bring a lasagna over. It's an Italian thing. I know someone's going to bring stuffed all the chokes. Yeah. When I say stuffed all the chokes, they'll show up with about 12 or 15 of them. Right. They don't mess around.

Right. Right. And so I was going to do a rib roast. And I said, look, if someone wants to bring a turkey, knock yourself out. Someone wants to bring a ham, knock yourself out. But it turns out now, Mark is going to be back. So we'll probably do the Cajun fried turkey, where they, you know, you dunk the whole turkey into the big vat of Greece. It's about the only way I will eat turkey. Because turkey is such a dry, crappy meat.

So now we may not be doing our rib roasts. Of course, of course, we're going to do it here for Christmas after I do my very white impression. Huh? Save that for Christmas. Yeah, yeah. Well, you know, we do it twice. Why not? I mean, it's another reason to have basically filet mignon, which is what rib roast is. It's ribeye, actually. It's ribeye. Well, yeah, it tastes like, I mean, it's just so good.

It's it's so and by the way, it's a real treat because it costs like one million dollars. Yes. Yeah, even if you get by the way, folks, don't fall asleep on getting the ones from Costco. They're good. I'm not kidding.

They got it all over there. Yeah, yeah, Costco can get some good meat in there, especially at holiday time. Absolutely. So, yeah, it's one of the few times of the year where I'll have a, you know, like an alcoholic beverage, like a glass of wine or something with lunch or dinner, whatever it is that we do. So, it's lunch. My pet peeve is serving Thanksgiving too late in the day.

Yeah, Serena. Can we eat it three? Well, when we've done it here, because we're a small group, it was always like Serena, me, Tallulah, and a couple of misfits. When we were in LA, we had like Serena being an actress.

became friends with, um, uh, you know, the wardrobe people, the makeup people. So we would have what we, you know, because we were misfits, right? She, her family's in, in London and my families in Louisiana. So we were misfits and we would invite other misfits over. Right. So that was always the deal for us, uh, people without families in town.

Uh, yeah. So now we've been doing that even here. You know, um, you know, this guy is, you know, 85 years old. His wife is dead. This woman is 81 years old. Her husband's that, you know, we have those kind of people come over. Yeah. And, um, so we, we would just do a rib roasting. They're happy eating at like six, six, 37 o'clock, which is what Serena likes to do.

You know, she likes to do the dinner, which means we're cleaning up at midnight one in the morning. Exactly. Because I don't go to bed until the kitchen is done. Right. Oh, you can't. Oh, I know people who do. They'll go to bed on it.

You know, some people will go to bed on the dirty kitchen and wake up to it and clean it. I can't do that. I will, I will pull on Rupert Holmes and listen to escape over and over and then get into some yacht rock and I'll just be in there until it's done. That sounds stressful. Yeah. As a matter of fact, we're doing a big deal here for Christmas. And Serena has talked about bringing in, you know, like a crew to clean up afterwards because we're doing a big thing.

Well, yeah, that makes sense. Yeah, because some of the Scott Thomas eye are coming over. As you know, to hear me do love serenade. Yeah. Yeah. They're obviously flying from overseas to hear this. Yeah. Yeah. I want to tell you what I just did on camera while you were talking. Go on. Yeah, you were putting Villa Capelli in the pan. You were cutting stuff. I like that little cutting thing you have. Anna, show me that thing. It's called a mandolin.

And it cuts things evenly because it's real hard to cut the zucchini and the squash that thin evenly. Yeah, that's very nice. So I use the mandolin. I strong recommend.

say I got these and this makes a really pretty, we're going to alternate the rose. But what I sauteed the onion in the time, and this is just going to be the bottom of this casserole. And can you work cheese on that thing too and that mandolin? This one, it doesn't need the cheese. You don't need it. If you wanted, but I'm saying, no, I'm talking about, I wanted to slice cheese like that for a recipe. Will it work on that mandolin? Yeah. I've never cut cheese on it.

Okay, because you know, I have some cheese cutting devices, but that looks like everything is very uniform. Well, it's more it's more geared towards vegetables. It's a very sharp blade to get through vegetable. Yeah, I saw you just whipping through it. Yeah, she would get cut cheese would get stuck in the face.

Also too, you can like switch it out and do a thicker cut, you can do diced, you can do crinkle, you know, you can do all kinds of cuts with this thing. Yeah, I've had, I bought this from some lady slinging it at Ralph's probably 20 years ago. And it's so, you know, you have to really, you're supposed to use a cover thing and not put your hand near it. I've sliced. Oh, yeah, I have a good scar on my pinky.

Yeah, from from the mandolin. So you got it. You got to be careful with the mandolin. A lot of people are afraid to use them. Don't be afraid. You just be real careful with it. So I'm spreading these onions here in the pan. I just like making this particular side dish because it's great year round, but it also works for Thanksgiving. If you want for Thanksgiving, it's not super rich, you know, to be dairy. I save, I save my rich ones. So I'm going to a friend's giving.

And the biggest irony being the friends I'm going to, they do not cook and they are self professed. We don't cook people. And sometimes the biggest thing they do, they'll order like a hello fresh and they'll cook their meal like that way. That's fine. Whatever, whatever gets you making fresh food. So she's ordering a turkey. So I'm going to bring my grain free stuffing.

And what did I say? Oh, the cauliflower gratin. So I'm only bringing tooth. If I really rally and want to make some sweet potatoes, I might, but I don't really care. So because I usually make those every year and I'm kind of tired of them. So my plan is to have some turkey and my sides.

And keep it NSNG and not have to even think about it because none of the desserts will be gluten-free and you'll know I can't have gluten because I've celiac. So that's not an opportunity for me to go off plan, you know. So I'm very curious to have a very chill and mellow Thanksgiving at someone else's house on someone else's dime.

Last year I made. But wait, I'm not really understanding. I'm not really understanding the whole thing here, Anna. You say that your friends are self-professed. So everybody brings a thing and they just haven't had their house or do they all not cook and they're expecting you to show up and save the day. That wasn't clear. Everybody who's coming is cooking and bringing stuff. Like Kelly's bringing all the desserts.

Great, I hope she makes everything with gluten and I won't have any. Somebody's making this thing. Somebody's making mashed potatoes and the thing. The only thing that the hostess is doing is ordering a giant turkey and then renting glassware, because it's a lot of people, and there's a big cleanup. So she's hosting. So for me, all I have to do is make two dishes and show up at someone's house. I don't have to clean up. I don't have to do a dish. I'm good. I'm happy. All right.

So for me, that's the way easier Thanksgiving than when I usually host it. And by the way, if it's Monday and you're listening, don't forget, eat happy for the holidays. PDF 699 has all the recipes in it. So here's what I'm doing, Vinnie. I'm stacking these up. I'm going to make like. Sure. Yeah. Okay. One rose zucchini, one rose squash all the way across and then I'll put the salt dust on it and then I put it in the oven and we're done. Nice.

I'm I'm I'm belaboring it because we're talking and podcasting, but usually this gets put together really fast. Um, it's talent to make it look good. Well, this one's just really pretty because of the different, the alternating colors. And I know a lot of y'all grow zucchini and squash in your gardens and you still, some of you were posting the other day saying you still has zucchini coming up out of the gardens. It's like, all right, get after it then, make this thing.

use it up. But the time, the time in there, you could also put sage in there, gives it like super fall feelings, you know, yeah, flavors. But it's really light. It's really nice. It kind of crisps up in the oven. I think I put the oven on 400. I can't remember. I have to look, I haven't looked at this recipe in forever. I have a whole video about it. Anna, you know, when it comes to Thanksgiving, people have

Some things giving things they do like some people like the oyster dressing, some people like the best dressing in that dress. It's a carbohydrate holiday all the way around, you know, it is. And as you know, all the alternatives in case you wanted to do it, but not have as much heart, you know, when I'm down there, you know, if my mom makes the stuff, so I'm going to have to have a few.

right so i'm gonna get the carbs in the grains in that way i'm gonna be did she put the breadcrumbs in the stuffed artichokes of course she's a talented she's from color brace you know so um you know i'm gonna have to taste that like like they're gonna have to twist my arm right it's like i'm gonna run towards that and taste it and eat a little bit of it and make sure i have a lot

And if if someone makes a pecan pie, well, I think for sure, you know, the 1972 Geneva Convention stated that I must have my name was in it. And they said, Vinny, if he sees a pecan pie, he must have it. So look, I'm telling people that's beautiful, Anna. So that's, that's what I'm going to have to do, right? Yeah, I'm going to try to stay as straight as I can, just do it for that one meal.

Oh, wait, I want to do the shaker for this. But my question to you is, the people that do the thing where they go, what's that thing? It's a tradition with the green beans and the can of soup and with the can of wild mushroom. That's one that Serena made for you one time.

Yeah, but that's right. My wild mushroom and green bean casserole recipe is insane. It's yeah, but not yours. Yeah, I'm talking about the one people yours is amazing. That's why I'm bringing it up. Yeah, but it's it's basically a green bean casserole is what it's what you're talking about. Yeah. Yeah. So people do that in a real cheap way. They put these like a canned version of fried onion rings on it, right? Yeah. Yeah. They're called jerky fried onion rings. Yeah.

I found this company, they were demoing two tables down for me at the food show. They're called Onion Kid and they're fried shallots and it's just shallot, palm oil and salt, that's all it is. And so I was, I got to give them a little plug. Fellow emerging food brand. So I'm putting this, anything that needs like a little crispy fried onion, like I would recommend Onion Kid.

Or you can make my fried shallot rings from scratch, but that is more labor intensive. So I just put salt dust on this casserole. And I forgot, I want to put more time leaves on top of this. So I'm going to get some more time leaves peeled off of here. By the way, the green bean casserole is basically just that kind of gross Campbell's cream of mushroom soup on green beans. People are some people are traditionalists. They don't want their things messed with.

I get it. Speaking of tradition, I think we started doing this last year. You know how we do 12 days of Christmas? Yeah. You know, for Christmas? Yeah. I think we played this last year. And I think right now, while you're cooking, we should play this again since we're doing a Thanksgiving episode.

Okay. This is the macaroni and cheese lady. Here you go. Since you fucked up the macaroni and cheese, you're cleaning up all this shit by yourself. Junior Dejana, nor me, I'm gonna help you clean up.

We told you don't put that shit in the macaroni, but you insist on putting it. So since you want to do things your damn way, we going to do shit our way. We here at a girl's staff who's going to sleep? Why you clean up all this shit with Thanksgiving? Happy Thanksgiving? We love you. But guess what? This shit ain't fair. And we couldn't even get a decent thing of macaroni and cheese. We got a way to go back to goo's. But you can't really make us a damn macaroni and damn cheese. Because you decided to do some bullshit, you didn't see it off the damn internet. Don't spare me no damn Thanksgiving. Don't spare me no Thanksgiving.

Listen, this is why I make sure that the recipes that I give you guys are good because you do not want that sort of clap back.

You don't want your auntie yelling about macaroni and cheese. Yeah. So don't fuck around with Thanksgiving. Do with the family. Yeah. Do you make it good? Don't fuck around and put cream cheese. She was upset because her niece put cream cheese in the macaroni and cheese. She's not that crazy, but okay. Anna, the woman wanted. I get what this woman wanted.

She wanted, you know, we all know, she wanted what her mom made her. The reason we do these holidays is to remember. I don't think people realize that, right? It's an emotional time. You know, I thought about that woman when I thought about the green bean casserole. You see, we've never done the green bean casserole. We do the stuffed audit jokes, right?

And I made my green bean casserole, but that was just when it was y'all. That was us. But when I go, you go to Louisiana, I can't bring that green bean casserole to Louisiana. I mean, you know, they would look at me. Well, they don't even know what it is. So they might like it. You know, ours, we always have lasagna. There's always like a sweet, like a roasted sweet ham. And there's always a turkey.

We're going to do a rib roast this year. It's going to be a lot of meat. And you see that rib roast is going to be there. It's going to serve me for the next two or three days while I'm still. Yeah, you're going to be good to go on that. Let's just look at this final cast. I'm going to put this in the oven. Remember all the onions in the time and the olive oil and salt dust are underneath this layer, alternated layer of zucchini and squash. I put a little extra time leaf salt dust on the veg. What we want is for this to get, we want these to get nice and soft, but also to get like brown around the edges, right? Yeah.

And maybe like 20, 30 minutes in the oven, it'll be done. Yeah. And by the way, this, I feel like I could eat half of it. You know what I mean? Like he could eat half of it. You know what I mean? You could double the layers, what I'm saying. By the way, how's Lauren feeling? Has he coming around? He is still recovering, but he's doing much better. You know what I had a thought of? I wonder if it would be a good idea. You guys tell us on the Twitter or at the Facebook, like,

He basically, I know he went out today, he needs to call you and go through like getting back into it routine. I'm available. Because you know that he's big into lifting, but he feels so weak, he lost 10 pounds. Look, I get it. I get it. He can't rush, you know, you can't rise to hands of time.

You've seen the long struggle I've come back from since cancer. And I'm there in the gym every day, pushing hard, trying to get my musculature back and feel good again. And I'm feeling better. It takes a long time. Good. I'm glad you're feeling better. It just is what it is. Anna, you know what would really help and feel better? If I took off my brazier, my dear. More about two. That's it.

But you're actually probably trying to do Villa Capellia. Yeah, if you take off your brazier and then put some Villa Capellia on those poppies. No, don't really enjoy that. Yeah, they would be glistening and they would taste good. Just everything. All of it. And he could get some healthy fats. Yeah, you get some healthy fats right off of his wife right there. I killed two birds with one stone. Villa Capellia, folks.

Let's say your wife's boobs aren't exactly the way you want them to be pointed towards the camera. Anna point point. No, no, you. Oh, why don't you turn it when a photo is? Because I'm trying to show you. Okay. Villa Capelli olive oil is the best oil in the world bar none. I was somewhere last week. I'm not going to embarrass the people. I think they listened to the podcast, but now they're going to know. But I won't say their name.

and went to their house, they served a salad. When they, oh, then we did the olive oil the way you like, we didn't put a dressing. We put the olive oil on the salt. It was not a good olive oil. It's a may and I had to eat it. Oh, my God. Thank you. Thank you. The thing. Are they going to be listening to this? Are they going to hear this? Yeah, probably. Don't worry, Debbie. You can leave this in. They need to know. They need to know that they need to go and get Villa Capelli.

because they are into being healthy, right? Right. And, you know, I'm sure they went to some wine and cheese shop in town where they make the, you know, it just wasn't the good stuff. I didn't get that poo, you pinch on the back of my throat. I didn't feel it going down. Olive oil needs to, you need to know what you're doing. Right. You can't have around with olive oil, Villa Capelli. Now listen, the real stuff ain't cheap. Villa Capelli does a good job keeping the price low.

but here's two ways to save. By simply putting in promo code Vinnie, V-I-N-N-I-E, no, and P-Y, you get 10% off or wait this more. If you spend $125, you also get free shipping. Now here's the deal. If you spend $125 and you get the Vinnie discount, you're now below 125. So let me do the math. Spend about $140. You're going, well, Vinnie, that's a lot of money. Listen.

A three liter 10 will last you a very long time. That's about ninety five, a hundred bucks would have you. And then you get some herbs. I love Proven. You get some, they got some, maybe the lemon, lemon oil or like the rosemary power. Yeah, get something else. Just get that price up to about one forty.

minus 10%, you're still above 125. You have all these goodies showing up to your house with free shipping and the big discount. Villa Capelli, let them know we sent you. We use it here. As a matter of fact, I'm almost back in stock with my vitamin D. Guess what? Guess what? Villa Capelli olive oil is in my vitamin D. I don't F around. I don't F around.

I use the best when my vitamins are around the other planet and the best vitamin D in the planet. That's correct. That's correct. You can't be that. It's a Villa Capelli. We use it here and it uses it with all of her cooking or cookbooks. I don't have that. Well, Steven brought it to me. And I think they had it on the site, but it might be sold out, but there might be more in stock. You know what I you know what I still regret?

When Paul, God rest his soul was still with us. He was making those olive boards. You know, I don't regret it. I know. And I wanted one and I wanted the dancing lady. He had one called the dancing lady and it was sold. And I was like, I'll just wait until he makes some more. And then Paul, as they would say, he up and died. He sure did. He up and died. And that was that.

So, yeah. But I got the one that you passed on, so. Yeah. Well, I'll leave that to you in my will. How about that? And I got a feeling you're going to have a lot longer than me. I know. It's a little we'll be collecting that board. Who will continue this podcast when you and I broke? Who knows? Who knows? Who knew we would still be doing this for 12 years? I know. And look at it.

Well, next next week, we are going to maybe we'll cover some more weightlifting stuff. We were going to do a 101. I put that on my notes. Yeah. And it'll be the beginning of Christmas holiday season. And we'll be talking about all that. Yeah, so folks.

Don't forget show up next week. We're, you know, we're doing a lot more exercise in the show because people need the exercise. Yes. You know, I've been telling, you know, Chris and I were talking on a Wednesday show just last week or week before. Against the counter. You need to get on the ground and do a manner. I'm going to do it right here. Yeah, you're not doing much. You keep talking when you can smile like that. You're not doing much. Um, Chris and I were talking

You know, I know you have to be, you know, have to put your name in with RFK to see if you could be on this committee, that committee. Folks, write to RFK, do it on Twitter, do it, you know, you know, I must, whoever, I'm offering my service for free. I want to be part of getting physical education back in school. I want to do what RFK's uncle started, John F. Kennedy.

He started the presidential physical fitness. I want to bring that, you know, I want to bring that back into schools. I really want to make this work. We got to turn this around now. Right. And I don't care if you, I don't like RFK. He's a fucking asshole because he's with Trump. And I don't care what your political views are. All I care about is getting people in shape. Right. I'm not going to ask you who you voted for. If Kamala was in there would be doing the same thing. Let's get this done.

Let's start working to help people, right? That's what we're all doing here. There's a country. We're the greatest country in the world. Let's help each other. And if I can do that, I'll lift two hours from Washington. I could be up there on the heartbeat. I would be more than happy on my own dime to go around this country. If the government will bag me up, I will put my own money into it.

to go around and help people, go to schools and implement programs the way they were implemented when I was a kid. We need to get, you know, come on, our military, these military, most people can't even make it through basic training. 76% of people can't make it through basic training anymore. We need to get kids in shape again, right? So,

Yeah, I didn't make the cut because I didn't go put my name in for any. I didn't want to be part of some popularity contest. My friend Nina Tyshos' name is in there. Go vote for her, please. If that voting is still open, Nina can do a lot of good. We can all do a lot of good. We all want to do a lot of good and we don't care about making a dime. That's not why I started. It's not why Nina started. I think it's why Anna started, but who knows? But

That's funny. When we started this, would you have ever thought that we would still be doing this? We were doing this to sell a book. And we're still doing it. We could have stopped a long time ago, but we didn't. So I'm going to make that the final word today. Folks, enjoy your holiday. I know you guys want to hit a macaroni and cheese woman again, but I'm not going to play. I got something else to play for you guys.

We're going to start it over because I need to learn all the words of the song. So, oh, by the way, go check out Anna Vachino. I got to do this. AnnaVachino.substack.com. Also, Anna, are you going to be anywhere where people can come and get an autograph? I'm not going anywhere. I'm going to DC January 15th, but not until then. If you guys are, we're still fundraising. Yeah. Right now in tier two compliance, which means they cut off the fundraising.

Because we hit a threshold now we have to get more compliance and then they'll open it back up so go support if you're I mean you can just enter the wait list and then it'll open back up we're just doing a couple little audit things and it's done. And by the way this is to be Italian if you want to support my work please buy my book. Yeah yeah the book is great I have a sitting right here.

And I need that book needs to go. I keep it here so I can hold it up and I never do. It's got to me and her up to the kitchen. So that Serena can stop looking through it and start making some of these dishes. Yeah. Yeah. I she may want to do dishes and I took it back down here because Serena gets she can fuck up a book like you've never seen because she she whips things around when she's cooking and the books get fucked up. So I brought it back down here so that it didn't get stuff all over it.

But I need to bring it upstairs. So I should start cooking from it. You know what to do with me, folks, rate and review this podcast. Go do all the things we ask you to do.
