00:01 The lowly potato, he doesn't grow on
00:03 a tree or even on a bush, but under the ground.
00:06 Today we're gonna dig for some potatoes,
00:08 and we're gonna put them in some unusual recipes,
00:11 starting with a potato lasagna.
00:14 Are you interested so am I, why don't you stay
00:16 with us and find out how to make it?
00:50 Hello friends, and welcome to another program
00:52 of Let's Cook Together. I am your host Jill Morikone
00:55 and we have an exciting program planned
00:57 for you today. And I can't wait to figure out
00:59 how to make that potato lasagna.
01:01 First, I wanna introduce you to my special guest,
01:04 my friend with me here in the studio her
01:05 name Marie McCalla. Welcome Marie,
01:08 we're so glad to have you here. Thank you,
01:10 it's good to be back again. You came here
01:12 a couple of years ago and did some programs,
01:14 yes I did, and I wanted you to comeback and
01:15 do some more. Yes and I appreciated that and
01:17 was thrilled to do so. Yes, yes,
01:20 now you come from the warm state of California.
01:22 That's true although it's warming up here
01:24 in Illinois now too. Yeah, that's right.
01:27 Tell us have you always like to cook.
01:29 Ever since I was a child I, I began to get
01:31 creative probably at the age of about four,
01:35 okay, to my mother's horror I made a mud
01:38 and soap cake. And it was, precious.
01:41 Sugar in that, she didn't want to me to bake it.
01:44 So, yeah but I have always you know had
01:47 an interest in, in cooking I guess,
01:50 if you could call that cooking.
01:51 So, that's wonderful, your mom likes to cook
01:54 that kind of reign in the genes.
01:56 Wanted to cook it kind of did,
01:57 yes probably the German genes.
01:59 Yeah, there you go. Oh! That's so,
02:01 did she let you cook with her in the kitchen
02:02 when you were a kid? Yes, yes she did.
02:05 Getting your little hands in their working, yes,
02:06 and you know, we had a garden always,
02:09 yeah, so I was introduced to healthy living
02:11 from a child, a lot of fresh things, so.
02:15 Oh! That's fun, that's very nice.
02:18 Yeah, good, now you've cooked all those years.
02:22 Marie, tell me one of our favorite things to do
02:23 is to cook. Yeah, so that's special,
02:26 yeah and your food is really good.
02:27 Obviously, that's why I'm here.
02:29 Yeah, that's right, yeah, yeah.
02:31 Well, we're going Italian today with a lot
02:33 of work we're making. This is a new twist on
02:35 Italian, yes, yes, we're going to do the potato
02:38 rather than the lasagna pasta.
02:41 Now, I have never heard of that.
02:43 So, what gave you the idea, do they do that
02:45 in Italy or just God gave you that idea or?
02:48 God gave, you know, I wake up in the middle
02:50 of the night with recipes in my mind.
02:53 And, so yeah, yeah, I just thought that would
02:56 be kind of nice, so let's try potatoes
02:58 for a change. Yeah, oh let's make.
03:00 Some people don't like all the starch in the pasta
03:02 and things, that's right, that's right.
03:03 Even though potatoes are starchy,
03:04 they're a vegetable. So, and I'm thinking
03:07 if you want to go gluten free.
03:09 Yes, exactly, you know, I mean there is no
03:10 gluten in the potatoes. Absolutely,
03:11 that's a good idea. Absolutely, yeah, yeah,
03:13 okay, let's read that recipe
03:14 here for our potato lasagna.
03:17 For the Lasagna Trio you need:
03:19 7 medium potatoes that are peeled
03:21 and sliced 1/4" thick 2 chopped garlic cloves
03:26 2 teaspoons salt 1½ cup veggie sausage
03:33 1 chopped onion 12 ounces frozen
03:36 chopped spinach, that's thawed and drained
03:40 1 cup of tofu sour cream
03:42 1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs, 1/8 cup flour
03:48 2 cup shredded vegan mozzarella cheese
03:51 ½ cup water, 1 tablespoon chicken style seasoning
03:57 1½ teaspoon Italian seasoning,
04:00 and 1/4 cup olive oil.
04:02 Okay, this is fun I'm so excited to learn how
04:04 to make it. This is really fun, and this we kind
04:06 of do this in three stages, okay,
04:08 and what we do first of all is we slice the
04:10 potatoes thin and steamed them. Okay,
04:13 because I tried to just slice it very thin and,
04:17 and bake them without steaming them and
04:19 they don't get soft. They're hard. So, I just
04:21 like to tell, double hard, you're right,
04:24 I would like to tell our viewers that you know,
04:27 steam them first, that's right, so that will be
04:28 success to the dish. And what we do Jill
04:31 is just heat your pan, okay, with your oil, okay,
04:37 and now what type of oil are we putting in this?
04:42 This one, I think this is olive oil, but I'm not,
04:45 okay, I'm not sure actually,
04:47 you usually use olive oil.
04:48 I, I use olive oil, okay, unless I'm really gonna
04:51 heat it at high heat. Okay, yeah, so we,
04:54 we brown this, okay, with the onion and,
05:01 and garlic. Yes, now we're using just
05:04 a vegetarian meat substitute, right?
05:06 We're using vegetarian, you can use the
05:08 veggie burger, you can use the imitation
05:11 sausage, okay, and, and this is the salt,
05:15 you could make your own. You could make your own,
05:17 we can use you know, anything that would be,
05:20 would compliment the dish that's like a,
05:22 right, a burger, yeah. And so we're just going to,
05:27 you know, stir this altogether and brown it.
05:30 Oh! Yeah, and it smells good already,
05:34 it does absolutely it's getting warm.
05:36 Yeah, yeah, that's nice.
05:39 Smells good already, and then Jill if you wouldn't
05:42 mind just, yeah, dissolving this
05:44 Mckay's Chicken Seasoning,
05:47 which is not a chicken, but an imitation,
05:50 that's right, it's and dissolve it into
05:51 the water, okay, you can go to your
05:54 grocery store or health food store and try to find,
05:57 yes, yeah, okay and it tastes just like,
06:02 you know, chicken style, yeah, that's right,
06:06 it's really good. You can use is it in homemade
06:07 soups if you want to stock, oh yeah,
06:09 absolutely, you know, that works great.
06:11 That's right, okay. And my point that in
06:14 there or somewhere else. We're going to save
06:16 that for the top, oh! Okay, okay. Very nice,
06:22 okay, and then we'll stir in the bread crumbs,
06:24 okay. This just gives it a little extra texture
06:29 and flavor, very nice. Okay,
06:35 now can we mix this over there,
06:36 well that's browning, give it sometime
06:38 to brown there. We can brown this and
06:40 what we need to do now is put the, yeah,
06:45 if you don't mind take the bowl,
06:48 put the, you want these guys. Spinach in here,
06:51 you can use my spoon if you want.
06:53 And you know, spinach is so high in iron,
06:54 I like to use it in the lot of recipes.
06:57 Yes, and what we do is because we don't want
07:00 this sour cream to break down too much and
07:02 get runny. We add an eight of our cup of flour.
07:06 Oh! That's pretty smart I like that,
07:08 and that just takes cares of it.
07:09 Yes, very good, so if you know, yeah,
07:13 if our viewers are wondering why would
07:14 you put flour in, in sour cream.
07:18 Yeah, I would think of that.
07:20 That's it, that's the purpose and,
07:21 and when the dish is complete they will
07:23 understand why. Yes, okay.
07:24 So, we just mix all that in and put it
07:28 with the spinach, it's, it's a thickening agent
07:30 basically is what you're doing.
07:31 It's a thickening agent, and if you're doing
07:33 regular lasagna, okay, instead of a cheese,
07:36 yes, you can use this and, okay,
07:39 and put a little flour in it, yes.
07:41 You know, that's a good idea,
07:42 and let's turn the traditional egg, right,
07:44 that's real good. And so, your cream this up,
07:46 doesn't this look wonderful?
07:47 Oh! It does, that's right. Yeah, and then it's
07:53 a good way to get your vegetables,
07:54 to top it off, yeah, yes. We're going to put
07:57 the cheese in, okay. What we do is just
07:59 reserve a little bit for the top layer, okay,
08:01 good. This is just your soy cheese here.
08:05 This is your soy cheese, good, yes.
08:07 And there is no casein or whey in it, yes, okay.
08:11 So, it's very pure, yes. Okay,
08:14 well this is smelling really good.
08:16 Yeah, it is, I need to take this off the burner,
08:19 how long do you brown it for?
08:20 To be brown it long enough or normally you
08:23 do it longer? You know, this is pretty good really,
08:25 okay, because it's already cooked.
08:27 It is, you know, and it's going to bake.
08:30 So, I don't think it enhances it any by you
08:33 know getting it too brown. Okay.
08:37 So, what we're gonna do now,
08:38 you want the pan, Jill, yeah, we're gonna save
08:39 this for the top, okay, and we pour that over.
08:43 We'll just layer some potatoes on the bottom,
08:47 okay, just fun. And we have already just kind
08:48 of Pam sprayed the pan, yes.
08:51 And put a layer of potatoes, you want to try
08:53 to do three layers, yeah just like lasagna.
08:57 Same thing with lasagna, same thing like you do
08:58 with the noodles, oh! This is fun, there we go.
09:00 This, this is so much fun, this is, yeah,
09:02 this is playing, that's right, this is playing and
09:05 then we'll just put some of this on the top,
09:07 good, and just pardon my finger,
09:11 now she washed them. Yeah,
09:13 always wash my hands. That's right,
09:16 that goes with the territory, that's right,
09:19 very nice. And then we will put some of the
09:22 veggie burger on the top, yeah.
09:26 So, we're not using any tomato sauce in that sense,
09:27 it's different than normal lasagna,
09:29 that that is different too. Yes,
09:33 and just spread that out, and then we'll just
09:35 follow up with, okay, we're probably limited
09:39 with space here, so we'll just do two layers, okay,
09:42 but if you're at home you'd use a thicker pan.
09:44 You'd a larger pan and you'd make three layers,
09:46 right, yes, exactly. And then you,
09:48 you want to end up with potatoes on the top
09:51 of course because, okay, that's just like when
09:53 you make your lasagna; absolutely you end
09:54 with the noodles, thing on top, with noodles on top.
09:58 So, normally we would have done more of that,
10:00 more of that and more of that, right.
10:02 But we'll just go ahead and finish this right now.
10:04 Okay, yeah. And you know, you wanna,
10:09 excuse me bring it to the sides.
10:10 Yeah, cover it real nice, it really looks good.
10:16 I can't wait to see what it looks like when
10:17 it's all done cooking, yeah, it will be delicious.
10:21 Yeah, oh yeah, I'm sure. Thank you,
10:23 your food is always, yeah I got it.
10:26 And then we'll just finish up with this, good,
10:30 and put some potatoes on top. Very nice,
10:33 it's really a hearty meal. Oh!
10:35 Yeah that's right. And you know,
10:36 the nice thing too Jill is you can make this
10:38 a day ahead, yes, even two days, okay yeah,
10:42 and then just reheat it in the oven.
10:44 Yeah, yep it's nice. Yeah, we have a very
10:47 full pan here. We have a very full pan,
10:49 but we are going to just finish it off here.
10:52 Yeah, and we won't let any of this potato
10:55 go to waste, yeah, we did make our three layers,
10:57 we made it. Well, almost, almost yeah.
11:00 Almost we didn't quite but. Okay, very nice,
11:06 and then what we do with the other stuff here.
11:08 Okay, you know, what we do is we pour
11:09 this over because you're gonna want a
11:10 little moisture, yeah, you know,
11:12 and so we're just gonna pour this over,
11:14 nice and then just drop in that chicken flavor,
11:17 the chicken flavor here we may not be able
11:19 to get all of this in. Yeah,
11:21 because we are pretty full here.
11:22 Our pan is pretty limited, but we'll try.
11:25 Good, yeah its close, yeah that's a paper towel
11:30 for you, good. And we're gonna top it with
11:34 the cheese, good, and then what you do
11:37 as you bake it at 375, okay,
11:40 for 30 minutes covered. Okay, okay,
11:45 and uncovered for 15, so it'd be a total of 45,
11:47 45 minutes, right, okay. And you are going to
11:49 sprinkle it with the, and get generous with
11:53 the Italian seasoning, yes very nice.
11:56 That looks good, so I can't wait to try that.
11:57 Yeah, you'll love it. Yes, we'll show you at
12:00 home when we're done with the program
12:01 what it looks like all baked off,
12:02 but first we are gonna go to our next recipe.
12:05 For the Orange-Hazelnut Tea Bread, you need:
12:07 2 cups unbleached flour 1 cup raw brown sugar
12:13 3 teaspoons baking powder ½ teaspoon salt
12:17 1/3 cup canola oil, 1 teaspoon orange flavoring
12:24 1 cup fresh orange juice 2 teaspoons cornstarch
12:28 1 cup chopped hazelnuts,
12:30 and the grated rind of 1 orange.
12:33 Well, this is fun, I like making tea bread and
12:36 scones and stuff like that. Oh, I love it and you
12:38 know Jill for those viewers who are trying
12:41 to be more health conscious, yes,
12:42 and not have eggs, yes.
12:44 They are probably wondering,
12:45 well how could I bake without eggs?
12:47 Absolutely, well the secret is cornstarch.
12:50 Okay, you could bake very successfully without eggs,
12:53 if you use cornstarch, that's right and makes
12:55 a big different. So, and this tea bread is just the,
12:58 the aroma as it's baking, Oh! yeah.
13:01 Wonderful, so let's get started, yeah.
13:05 Put the sugar, okay, and this is raw sugar, okay.
13:10 And canola oil, soy, or any kind of oil that
13:13 you would like I don't use olive oil in baking
13:15 it's just too heavy. Okay, little bit of salt.
13:19 So, it doesn't matter you don't have to start
13:21 with the say the dry ingredients first and then
13:22 add the wet. You know, just any order,
13:24 with this recipe you can just, dump,
13:26 put it altogether, yeah. That's my kind of recipe;
13:29 just put it altogether, yeah.
13:35 Alright, there we go, thank you.
13:38 You just mix it, yeah, okay.
13:41 Very nice and easy. Usually what I do is I,
13:44 I leave the nuts until the last.
13:46 Yes, kind of incorporate everything together.
13:49 Yeah, that's good. And put the orange juice,
13:53 so that it gets nice and moist, yes,
13:55 and then we'll add the flour last.
13:57 Okay, good, so the flour is last then.
13:59 Oh! Don't you wish that our viewers could
14:01 smell this? It doesn't this, I like anything
14:03 with the orange, I do too, orange is good for
14:05 you. There we go, yeah, different.
14:13 Oh! You can smell the orange,
14:14 isn't that nice Marie? It makes me want to
14:18 eat it. Just wonderful. That's nice, that's right.
14:22 Yeah, when it's baking, yeah, you have to
14:24 hardly wait until it comes out of the oven,
14:27 that's right, that's right. So, good, now do
14:29 you use. I have had Marie use 1 teaspoon
14:31 cornstarch per egg that you trying to
14:33 replace. One teaspoon of cornstarch per egg,
14:35 so that's correct, yes what I've heard.
14:36 So, we have, we have put two,
14:39 two teaspoons. Two teaspoons because it was
14:41 supposed to be two eggs, two eggs yes.
14:43 And so you know, you can be very heart
14:45 smart and still enjoy your, yeah,
14:49 your desserts, that's right. Do you have
14:51 to add water with the cornstarch or not?
14:54 No, you just put it in dry as you saw, okay,
14:56 what we did, okay, yes, okay, okay, good.
14:58 And you know, it's just so simple, you don't
15:00 have to, you know worry about all the egg
15:03 shells and everything. That's right,
15:05 and so here we are, done, done.
15:08 That's easy, now we'll put it in the baking, you
15:10 spread it up here, you want me to hold
15:12 it. Oh! Yes if you would. Yeah, we spray it
15:14 with Pam, good, and that way you don't
15:17 need to, there we go, you know, add any extra
15:20 calories. That's right. This is a little sticky,
15:24 which you know most tea breads are, okay;
15:26 they are not real thin, okay. Not like making
15:29 bread or something. Not, not like making a
15:31 cake, yes, which might be a little thick than
15:34 thinner, yeah. And, and you're going to bake
15:37 this at 375, okay, for about just 375 or 350
15:46 for about an hour, okay, depending on the
15:49 size of loaf, yes, absolutely, you know, it,
15:52 it all varies and so, yeah. This pan is quite
15:55 large, so, yeah, you might only need 45
15:58 minutes, because it's thinner, it's not so
16:00 thick, right, right. Isn't that gorgeous?
16:03 I can't wait to eat it. All that done in a
16:05 healthy way, that's right, isn't that nice?
16:07 Praise God, can you bake it as muffins if
16:10 you wanted muffins. You could bake it as
16:11 muffins, absolutely that's a good point you
16:13 could, fine, you can bake it as muffins,
16:14 surely you could. Okay, at same temperature,
16:17 same temperature, shorter time, shorter time,
16:19 because as not as much. And you know,
16:21 everybody has their oven they all vary,
16:23 so everyone will just have to determine,
16:27 when they're baking it, right, right,
16:28 The main thing is you know, be sure
16:30 that it doesn't get too brown at the bottom.
16:33 Yes, do you put a toothpick in to see if
16:35 it's clean. Absolutely, okay, okay.
16:37 Absolutely, good yeah. So, I can't wait to try
16:39 those. Yes, you love it. That's right, let's go
16:42 we are making something else too, Italian,
16:43 right? Yes, we are, good let's read our recipe.
16:48 For the White Grape Juice Risotto, you need:
16:51 3 cups water
16:53 3 tablespoons chicken style seasoning
16:56 1 medium shallot
16:58 2 tablespoons margarine, non-hydrogenated variety
17:02 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 teaspoon salt
17:06 1 cup white grape juice
17:09 2 cup short grain brown rice
17:12 1 pound fresh asparagus
17:14 1-3 ounce package of sun dried tomatoes, and
17:18 ½ cup of vegan Parmesan cheese.
17:23 Now, why do you call this Marie White Grape
17:26 Juice Risotto? Well, you know, the original
17:29 recipe which I have altered considerably,
17:32 yep, had one. Okay, and of course I don't
17:36 promote alcohol in anyway, yes, right.
17:38 And we're a healthy cooking program, right,
17:41 so we just use the white grape juice,
17:43 that's a good idea, okay. Or you could
17:45 use the sparking cider that comes in a bottle,
17:48 you could use that as well. Okay, okay, so,
17:50 so either one to cook it, either one.
17:52 And you use it as part of your water when
17:55 you're cooking the rice, yes. Now, it just
17:58 gives it a little sweeter flavor, just, just a
18:00 little different. And because we're limited for
18:06 time, right we've already cooked the rice.
18:09 We don't want to spend all this time
18:10 cooking rice. Absolutely, so for our viewers
18:14 you can either use rice that you'll cook for
18:18 an hour. Okay, or you can use the instant, which I
18:22 chose to do. You can get some very fine
18:25 quick cooking brown rice these days, yes, yes.
18:27 So, I've already cooked the brown rice.
18:29 And what did you put in it? The apple juice,
18:32 the white grape juice, excuse me the white
18:34 grape juice, okay. And the chicken
18:37 seasoning, okay and the water, okay.
18:40 So, we've already done all that, you can see
18:42 it's got a bit of a yellow color, it does,
18:44 from the chicken, that's right seasoning
18:47 that we use, good. So, this is a wonderful
18:51 recipe, oh! Yeah, it's so different.
18:54 And, I like it, and we're just this probably
18:56 has cooled off, we need a little bit of oil in
18:59 this, okay. And keep it from sticking together
19:03 as well, and just, just a little bit of margarine
19:05 I think we kind of put a little much there, okay.
19:09 And that will give it the good flavor too.
19:11 That will give it a little, just perk it up a little
19:13 bit you know, some people like margarine,
19:15 some people don't, okay, you could just tailor
19:16 that, but you, you need a little bit of because
19:19 oil gives flavor. And so, now did we use olive
19:24 oil in this then? We used olive oil, okay, okay.
19:27 We did, good, and we're just going to put
19:31 because that McKay's Chicken Seasoning is salty.
19:35 We don't add any salt, but I, yes, I'm going
19:37 to put a little salt on the asparagus.
19:40 Yes, now you have already steamed this
19:41 asparagus. The asparagus has been
19:43 steamed, okay. So, what we're going to do is
19:46 actually we could put just a little bit more of
19:50 the grape juice in there. Okay, you want just
19:52 a little moisture, just a little moisture,
19:55 so it tosses nicely, yes. Give it that good
19:58 flavor and, oh it's wonderful. Oh! Yeah I like
20:01 that. It's just wonderful, it looks so pretty.
20:04 It does, doesn't it? And then we'll add the
20:06 asparagus. Now, this is a good way to get
20:08 your vegetables. A good way to get your,
20:10 and these are sun dried tomatoes, yes,
20:12 which they are, they're very popular in Italian
20:15 dishes, yes; love sun dried tomatoes are so
20:18 flavorful. And quite different from a, a fresh
20:21 tomatoes. Yeah, that's right, so and, and some
20:24 are darker than others. On the recipe that I
20:28 made for the completed, yes, dish, yeah.
20:32 You'll see the tomatoes are much redder, okay,
20:35 they are much, they're much more brilliant color
20:36 and these are very dark, so perhaps these
20:38 were riper, when they, oh that's a good point,
20:41 when they were drying them, yeah, but in
20:44 anyway, anyway you know the, yeah, yeah.
20:47 Now, do you think that you could take your
20:50 own tomatoes and dry them? Is that something
20:52 our friends at home can do? You know,
20:54 I have never done that, okay. So, I'm not sure,
20:57 okay you certainly would have-to-have some
21:00 kind of a, food dehydrator or something.
21:02 I think it would be a food dehydrator, yes, yeah,
21:05 that's probably how they do it, okay.
21:07 And then what we do is, we sprinkle this is
21:12 also veggie Parmesan cheese. Oh, fun, so
21:16 it has no way, no casein, no dairy, and we
21:20 just sprinkle that on top. Now, where would
21:22 our friends find this Parmesan cheese? This
21:24 you might have to look for in a specialty store,
21:27 okay, or a health food store, okay. It might not
21:29 be in your regular grocery stores. Right,
21:31 right, right, and you can incorporated it a
21:33 little bit, bring it up just a little bit, good,
21:35 and so this is a dish that your guests are just
21:39 going to crave about, oh! Isn't that nice? Yeah,
21:41 I like it and it's so Italian. It's so Italian;
21:44 it's so different you know. Absolutely, who
21:47 would be cooking with grape juice and rice?
21:50 I know, but it's you know, it's such a good
21:52 because if you go to expensive Italian
21:54 restaurants or something they have wine in
21:55 everything, they do, they do, I mean they
21:57 really put it in every dish they make.
21:59 So, and I'm always looking for something
22:01 different, yes. So, when I present my recipes
22:04 I want it to be different. Yeah, absolutely,
22:07 that's right. So, that's right, man, very nice
22:10 now you don't bake this. You will serve just
22:12 like this? No, it's just already done and this
22:14 is a lovely supper with the salad, oh yes,
22:17 and some crusty bread. Yeah, yeah, now you
22:20 always cook for your husband in the evening
22:21 you were telling me. I always cook for him
22:23 in the evening; he eats gourmet meals every
22:25 evening, yeah. He's one of the luckiest man
22:28 alive probably. He, he is my taste tester.
22:32 There you go, that's good, yeah. So, always
22:34 pick different stuff and, you know, I think it's
22:37 nice to, I mean it's so good to prepare food
22:39 for other people, right? I mean that's a wonderful
22:42 thing to go out, it is, and o share and you know,
22:44 invite your friends or whatever, but there is
22:45 nothing like preparing food for your family.
22:47 That's right, do you know that?
22:49 That's right, and you know, I remember when
22:50 I was a kid you know, we always saved the
22:52 good dishes for company, yes. Well,
22:55 I think it's nice to just live in the moment
22:57 everyday, I know that. And, and that's right,
22:59 and enjoy your dinners together, To show your
23:02 family, right, how much they mean to you.
23:04 And that if we are helping other people how
23:06 are we, how are we ministering, if we are
23:09 neglecting our family, right. The most
23:10 important thing is our family. Exactly, so always
23:13 make it special. Yeah, that's right, yeah.
23:15 Now, you like garnishing too and doing fun
23:17 stuff like that that creating and stuff.
23:19 Yes, putting it together, yes, yes I do.
23:22 Does your mom like that too, did that come
23:23 from her like you said the cooking did.
23:25 Actually no, no, okay. Actually I'm the one that
23:28 that's kind of more creative, okay yeah, yeah.
23:32 You know, it just, it just comes over time
23:35 because one idea leads to another, yes,
23:37 absolutely, oh! I could do that, I could do that.
23:40 That's right, that's right, and so this risotto
23:43 would you garnish or something or it's perfect
23:45 like this because we have the green and the, it's
23:47 really perfect like that, okay now I, I,
23:51 I just don't add any other flavors to it like
