Welcome to our
3ABN cooking program.
00:01:07.33\00:01:10.37
We are the Micheff Sisters.
00:01:10.40\00:01:13.47
I'm Linda.
00:01:13.50\00:01:14.84
I'm Brenda.
00:01:14.87\00:01:16.20
And I'm Cinda.
00:01:16.24\00:01:17.57
And I'm Mom.
00:01:17.61\00:01:21.18
Mom, we're so excited
00:01:21.21\00:01:22.84
that you've joined us
on this program today.
00:01:22.88\00:01:25.11
And...
00:01:25.15\00:01:26.48
Oh, we're really
excited because, you know what,
00:01:26.51\00:01:28.48
anytime we can spend with
Mom, it's always fun, always.
00:01:28.52\00:01:32.19
That's always special.
00:01:32.22\00:01:33.56
And really just treasured
time, Mom, we love you.
00:01:33.59\00:01:35.66
And, you know, why Mom,
00:01:35.69\00:01:37.03
because you've always taught us
00:01:37.06\00:01:38.39
that being in
the kitchen is fun.
00:01:38.43\00:01:40.16
It is fun.
00:01:40.20\00:01:42.56
It's privilege
for me to be here.
00:01:42.60\00:01:44.37
Oh, group hug. Group hug.
00:01:44.40\00:01:47.60
Group hug, I'm feeling the love.
00:01:47.64\00:01:49.07
And, Mom, you know,
00:01:52.34\00:01:53.68
so many times you
would've been so much easier,
00:01:53.71\00:01:55.81
Mom had raised five kids.
00:01:55.84\00:01:57.68
So with five children,
00:01:57.71\00:01:59.05
it would've been
far easier just to gone
00:01:59.08\00:02:00.72
and shoot us all outside
and cook by yourself, right?
00:02:00.75\00:02:04.29
That's true.
00:02:04.32\00:02:05.82
But you never did that to us,
00:02:05.85\00:02:07.82
what did you do?
00:02:07.86\00:02:09.19
Well, I brought you in
and had you dump stuff.
00:02:09.22\00:02:12.56
We had our wooden stools
around the table and counter.
00:02:12.59\00:02:15.86
Sometimes
sitting on the counter.
00:02:15.90\00:02:17.47
Sometimes.
00:02:17.50\00:02:18.83
I remember when Kenny, he
was sitting on the counter
00:02:18.87\00:02:20.60
and he puts salt
instead of sugar in my cookies.
00:02:20.64\00:02:24.61
You know, it's a
really big surprise
00:02:24.64\00:02:26.04
when we got ready to taste them.
00:02:26.07\00:02:28.88
But he was just little
and he's an awesome cook now.
00:02:28.91\00:02:31.15
Even the horses
wouldn't eat them.
00:02:31.18\00:02:34.22
We had horses back then,
they wouldn't even eat them.
00:02:34.25\00:02:36.28
No, yeah, they used to...
00:02:36.32\00:02:37.69
What about the time
you made a rhubarb pie
00:02:37.72\00:02:40.76
and you got forgot the sugar.
00:02:40.79\00:02:42.52
Oh, yeah.
00:02:42.56\00:02:46.16
The horses
wouldn't eat that either.
00:02:46.19\00:02:49.10
They were like,
00:02:49.13\00:02:50.47
How was that again?
00:02:53.77\00:02:55.10
I do remember that,
00:02:58.54\00:03:00.04
you know, that's
the really fun thing
00:03:00.08\00:03:02.04
about families is that
00:03:02.08\00:03:03.41
you have memories, and the way,
00:03:03.45\00:03:04.88
you know, sometimes we
can just look at each other
00:03:04.91\00:03:06.82
and it triggers a memory
00:03:06.85\00:03:08.18
or something we
had and start laughing
00:03:08.22\00:03:09.55
because we do have so
many wonderful memories.
00:03:09.58\00:03:12.25
And, Mom, when we're
here at cooking programs,
00:03:12.29\00:03:15.62
we're sharing with our
viewers so many times, you know,
00:03:15.66\00:03:18.36
our memories cooking with you
and things that you taught us.
00:03:18.39\00:03:20.76
So the viewers have asked
for a long time to, you know,
00:03:20.80\00:03:24.13
"When's your Mom
coming on the program?
00:03:24.17\00:03:25.50
We'd really like
to meet your Mom."
00:03:25.53\00:03:27.60
So everybody, here's Mom.
00:03:27.64\00:03:30.61
And so, may be we
should give them...
00:03:34.18\00:03:36.31
Let's show them what
we're going to be making today.
00:03:36.34\00:03:37.68
Well, what's our
program about today?
00:03:37.71\00:03:39.51
We're calling it Noodle It.
00:03:39.55\00:03:41.65
That's right.
00:03:41.68\00:03:43.02
In fact all the programs today
00:03:43.05\00:03:44.49
have something
to do with noodles
00:03:44.52\00:03:46.49
and who doesn't
love noodles, right?
00:03:46.52\00:03:47.86
And we're starting
off with Cowboy Spaghetti.
00:03:47.89\00:03:51.63
That looks good and
I bet you're wondering
00:03:51.66\00:03:53.36
how it is that end up
being Spaghetti being cowboy
00:03:53.40\00:03:55.83
but it is good.
00:03:55.86\00:03:57.43
And then, Mom,
what are you making?
00:03:57.47\00:03:59.37
Capusta.
00:03:59.40\00:04:00.74
Capusta, oh,
00:04:00.77\00:04:02.10
that's one of
our family favorites.
00:04:02.14\00:04:03.61
And then I'm going
to be making Spaetzle.
00:04:03.64\00:04:06.51
I learned how to make
this in Hungary, just recently.
00:04:06.54\00:04:11.75
And last but not
least, Vegetable Pad Thai.
00:04:11.78\00:04:15.02
Oh, I love Thai food.
00:04:15.05\00:04:17.05
I do too
00:04:17.09\00:04:18.42
and so I think this
is little different taste
00:04:18.45\00:04:20.96
on a very familiar dish.
00:04:20.99\00:04:22.32
So I think that
they'll enjoy it.
00:04:22.36\00:04:25.03
Well, I tell you
what, little lady,
00:04:25.06\00:04:27.83
I think it's about time
for you to read that recipe
00:04:27.86\00:04:30.90
and let's just get in cooking.
00:04:30.93\00:04:32.27
Because, you know,
00:04:32.30\00:04:33.64
we're going to go
down on the range.
00:04:33.67\00:04:35.47
Let's just read the recipe then.
00:04:35.50\00:04:37.67
Okay, for cowboy
spaghetti, you will need:
00:04:37.71\00:04:39.84
So this is fun.
00:05:22.68\00:05:25.25
Crank up the stove, sister,
00:05:25.29\00:05:27.26
and we're going to get started.
00:05:27.29\00:05:29.49
Oops, I got to
tune on the right now.
00:05:29.52\00:05:30.96
Okay, now since I've
already pre-cooked my onions,
00:05:30.99\00:05:34.50
I won't be
using... Micheff style.
00:05:34.53\00:05:35.86
Micheff style,
00:05:35.90\00:05:37.23
I won't be using the water today
00:05:37.27\00:05:39.43
because I use
that to steam my onions
00:05:39.47\00:05:41.74
and when the water's all
gone, your onions are clear.
00:05:41.77\00:05:43.41
You want Mom to
put in that for you?
00:05:43.44\00:05:44.77
Yes, Mom, if you
could put that in there,
00:05:44.81\00:05:46.61
and then she is going to add,
00:05:46.64\00:05:49.58
okay, the burger...
00:05:49.61\00:05:53.08
Okay. All right.
00:05:53.11\00:05:54.85
Mom's got it under
control today, sis.
00:05:54.88\00:05:56.85
Yeah, I can see that.
00:05:56.89\00:05:58.55
I got the easy job.
00:05:58.59\00:05:59.92
I'll just take that,
I'll just take the dishes.
00:05:59.95\00:06:01.32
Yup, I got.
00:06:01.36\00:06:02.99
Okay, this is
onion powder I think,
00:06:03.02\00:06:05.56
so we're going to got kind of...
00:06:05.59\00:06:08.06
Okay, here we go.
00:06:08.10\00:06:10.13
Oops, sorry Mom, I
got little bit more left.
00:06:10.17\00:06:12.07
You better get it all.
00:06:12.10\00:06:14.37
I told you...
00:06:14.40\00:06:15.74
See, we're not
kidding when we tell you that.
00:06:15.77\00:06:17.11
Didn't we tell you how Mom
00:06:17.14\00:06:18.47
always just makes you get
the last drop of everything,
00:06:18.51\00:06:21.14
we are not kidding.
00:06:21.18\00:06:22.51
Mom doesn't waste anything.
00:06:22.54\00:06:24.18
That's always the thing.
00:06:24.21\00:06:25.68
The chili powder.
00:06:25.71\00:06:27.18
Oops, there you go again.
00:06:27.22\00:06:28.55
Did you see that, Mom?
00:06:28.58\00:06:29.92
She almost got rid
of that. Yeah, almost.
00:06:29.95\00:06:31.29
Oh, I got it. The
red pepper flakes.
00:06:31.32\00:06:34.49
That's good.
00:06:34.52\00:06:35.86
Okay, while Mom
is stirring that,
00:06:35.89\00:06:38.06
we're going to
have Cinda over here.
00:06:38.09\00:06:39.96
She's going to blend the beans
until they look like sauce.
00:06:40.00\00:06:44.83
And it won't
take that long really.
00:06:44.87\00:06:46.20
Wow! Okay.
00:06:46.23\00:06:47.57
I have to admit...
00:06:47.60\00:06:48.94
And that's chili beans,
if you're making your own
00:06:48.97\00:06:50.31
then you can just
add your own chili powder
00:06:50.34\00:06:52.57
and stuff to
make your own sauce.
00:06:52.61\00:06:54.71
But she's going to blend
those up really, really fine.
00:06:54.74\00:06:59.91
All right, you got
that all stirred up.
00:06:59.95\00:07:01.78
Now you're gonna
plug your ears, folks.
00:07:01.82\00:07:03.25
Oh, yeah. Here we go.
00:07:03.28\00:07:06.09
Or not.
00:07:06.12\00:07:09.42
Oh, it's got to be plugged in.
00:07:09.46\00:07:11.69
Oh, well...
00:07:11.73\00:07:13.06
Funny thing how that works?
00:07:13.09\00:07:16.10
We got to bring a
little bit more this way.
00:07:16.13\00:07:17.53
Okay. Okay.
00:07:17.57\00:07:21.07
Okay, got it.
00:07:21.10\00:07:22.74
Well, now that's a fine.
00:07:22.77\00:07:25.37
Fine job you did little lady.
00:07:25.41\00:07:27.58
I'm real proud of you.
00:07:27.61\00:07:28.94
Thank you, now please shut up.
00:07:28.98\00:07:30.71
Let's just get,
00:07:30.75\00:07:32.08
let's just get
this show on the road,
00:07:32.11\00:07:33.45
what do you think?
Okay, let's hope it goes.
00:07:33.48\00:07:34.98
Okay, no, it says,
"It's not going to go."
00:07:35.02\00:07:38.75
All right, well, let me try
plugging it in a little bit.
00:07:38.79\00:07:42.09
Well, you know
what, let me try to put...
00:07:42.12\00:07:43.76
Oh, oh, that's in the wrong way.
00:07:43.79\00:07:46.29
Brenda got to put this on right.
00:07:46.33\00:07:48.56
Then I think it will go.
00:07:48.60\00:07:49.93
It might help if you
put the saddle on the horse.
00:07:49.96\00:07:53.54
Okay, saddles
on the horse, okay.
00:07:53.57\00:07:57.41
All right, now, it's blending.
00:07:57.44\00:08:00.11
All right.
00:08:00.14\00:08:01.51
Got to blend
till it's really fine.
00:08:01.54\00:08:05.85
Yup, it's doing good.
00:08:05.88\00:08:07.45
What did you say?
00:08:07.48\00:08:08.82
I said you're
doing good. All right.
00:08:08.85\00:08:11.65
Yup, it's almost there.
00:08:16.26\00:08:18.26
While she's blending
00:08:18.29\00:08:19.63
we're going to put the
petite tomatoes in here.
00:08:19.66\00:08:24.47
And we're going
to put the jalapenos.
00:08:24.50\00:08:28.40
Mom told me I didn't get
everything out of the bowl.
00:08:28.44\00:08:32.44
Just where
you're going with that,
00:08:32.47\00:08:33.84
just didn't get off the bowl.
00:08:33.88\00:08:35.84
Okay, then we're
going to put the salsa in.
00:08:35.88\00:08:39.11
Wait, I have one stuck up here,
00:08:39.15\00:08:41.52
we're going to make
sure we get that one.
00:08:41.55\00:08:43.12
Oh, good. Okay.
00:08:43.15\00:08:45.22
You get me a job to
do. I'm going to do it.
00:08:45.25\00:08:47.12
And actually I
think that's good.
00:08:50.69\00:08:54.46
All right.
00:08:54.50\00:08:57.53
All right.
00:08:57.57\00:08:58.90
Let me take this out for you.
00:08:58.93\00:09:00.27
I have to admit, sis,
00:09:00.30\00:09:01.64
when you told me you blended
those beans like a sauce,
00:09:01.67\00:09:03.44
I was thinking, I
don't know about that,
00:09:03.47\00:09:06.04
I'd never even
thought about having done that
00:09:06.07\00:09:08.64
but oh my word
that looks delicious.
00:09:08.68\00:09:10.38
Here's your spatula,
sis. Sis, here's your spatula.
00:09:10.41\00:09:11.75
It gives it.
00:09:11.78\00:09:13.11
It really gives
it a lot of flavor,
00:09:13.15\00:09:17.42
when you blend your beans.
00:09:17.45\00:09:18.85
And so see this,
since this is more,
00:09:18.89\00:09:21.32
this is cowboy style.
00:09:21.36\00:09:22.96
You'll notice
that we're not putting
00:09:22.99\00:09:24.33
any of your
Italian seasonings in.
00:09:24.36\00:09:26.66
So we're doing salsa,
00:09:26.70\00:09:28.76
we've got some pepper
flakes going on in there,
00:09:28.80\00:09:32.03
and...
00:09:32.07\00:09:35.07
Here's a little bit more, Mom.
00:09:35.10\00:09:37.07
You can put in there.
00:09:37.11\00:09:38.44
Well, I tell you what, sis?
00:09:42.28\00:09:44.55
This looks raw tasty.
00:09:44.58\00:09:47.12
I think I'm gonna
have me a little taste.
00:09:47.15\00:09:50.29
Okay, we'll stir that all up
00:09:50.32\00:09:52.02
and you can may be let it
simmer just till it bubbles.
00:09:52.05\00:09:56.49
And then we're going
to add our pasta to it,
00:09:56.52\00:10:01.30
our angel hair pasta, and...
00:10:01.33\00:10:04.00
You mean pour that
in there over here.
00:10:04.03\00:10:06.74
Well, I'm not sure that's
all going to fit in there.
00:10:06.77\00:10:08.50
I think you're going to
have to put some in here.
00:10:08.54\00:10:10.24
We're going to let that
cook up but see how it is,
00:10:10.27\00:10:13.04
it looks saucy that
is, you, all you have to do
00:10:13.07\00:10:17.01
and we're just
going to mix this in
00:10:17.05\00:10:18.61
and you can serve it right away.
00:10:18.65\00:10:20.05
Serve it with some tofutti...
00:10:20.08\00:10:23.75
Sour cream.
00:10:23.79\00:10:25.12
Sour cream or if
you live in a place
00:10:25.15\00:10:26.86
where you can't get it,
00:10:26.89\00:10:28.22
you know, and
you use sour cream,
00:10:28.26\00:10:29.59
well, then put that on.
00:10:29.62\00:10:30.96
And then this is
some vegan cheese.
00:10:30.99\00:10:32.89
Mom, you want to taste it?
00:10:32.93\00:10:34.53
If you live in a place,
it doesn't have the sour,
00:10:34.56\00:10:37.93
any dairy products like that
00:10:37.97\00:10:39.30
they can use the regular
dairy products to get the,
00:10:39.33\00:10:41.50
some people need that
to get the right nutrition.
00:10:41.54\00:10:43.00
Here, Mom, you can taste it.
00:10:43.04\00:10:46.68
We'll just put a
little bit in there
00:10:46.71\00:10:48.21
'cause we're going
to let that heat up
00:10:48.24\00:10:50.31
and while...
00:10:50.35\00:10:51.68
I'll actually
share fork with you.
00:10:51.71\00:10:53.35
All right.
00:10:53.38\00:10:54.72
All right, let's see, Mom.
00:10:57.65\00:10:59.22
You want the jalapeno,
you want me to take it?
00:10:59.25\00:11:00.72
No, you better
take that jalapeno,
00:11:00.76\00:11:02.36
I don't like that.
00:11:02.39\00:11:03.73
Oh, I'll take
that whole jalapeno.
00:11:03.76\00:11:05.09
That looks good.
00:11:05.13\00:11:06.46
Well, that's going to make her
00:11:06.49\00:11:07.86
what that, what's daddy said?
00:11:07.90\00:11:10.20
Chase rabbits
and bark at the moon,
00:11:10.23\00:11:12.37
that's what dad says
when he gets something in.
00:11:12.40\00:11:14.24
How is that, Mom?
00:11:23.28\00:11:24.61
I may just want to ride a horse.
00:11:27.62\00:11:29.68
Okay, if you want,
00:11:29.72\00:11:31.05
it's going to
cook a little bit more
00:11:31.09\00:11:32.42
but we have one right
over here for you to look at.
00:11:32.45\00:11:34.49
And that is the finished one
00:11:34.52\00:11:35.86
with just a
little vegan cheese on it
00:11:35.89\00:11:38.03
and that's all there is to it.
00:11:38.06\00:11:40.20
Brenda, that's really delicious.
00:11:40.23\00:11:42.36
And coming up
next is Mom's capusta.
00:11:42.40\00:11:45.87
And you want me to read
the recipe for you, Mom?
00:11:45.90\00:11:47.57
Sure.
00:11:47.60\00:11:48.94
For the capusta you'll need:
00:11:48.97\00:11:50.31
Mom, that's not a lot of
ingredients there, is it?
00:12:04.49\00:12:07.36
No.
00:12:07.39\00:12:08.76
But sometimes those
simple recipes are the best
00:12:08.79\00:12:11.39
and favorite
recipes, don't you think?
00:12:11.43\00:12:13.03
And maybe when you made
this, that's all we had.
00:12:13.06\00:12:15.66
It might have been.
00:12:15.70\00:12:17.03
But actually, I
mean, we grew up with this.
00:12:17.07\00:12:19.63
But this is part of
our Hungarian heritage.
00:12:19.67\00:12:22.64
Because dad's side of the family
00:12:22.67\00:12:24.17
because I
recently went to Hungary
00:12:24.21\00:12:26.88
and they made this for me.
00:12:26.91\00:12:28.28
Yeah.
00:12:28.31\00:12:29.64
And grandma Micheff
made it all the time.
00:12:29.68\00:12:31.61
Grandma Micheff
made it all the time.
00:12:31.65\00:12:32.98
Yes.
00:12:33.01\00:12:34.42
She is the one who showed me.
00:12:34.45\00:12:35.78
She's the one...
00:12:35.82\00:12:38.62
So we start with,
what is the first thing?
00:12:38.65\00:12:40.52
You want this heated at all?
00:12:40.56\00:12:42.12
The first thing I think is to...
00:12:46.73\00:12:48.46
You're gonna start shredding.
00:12:48.50\00:12:49.83
Shredding the...
00:12:49.86\00:12:51.20
The cabbage. The cabbage.
00:12:51.23\00:12:52.57
Okay, and can it be
any kind of cabbage?
00:12:52.60\00:12:55.44
You can any use
any kind of that,
00:12:55.47\00:12:56.81
the big head or whatever
but you don't need a big head.
00:12:56.84\00:13:00.11
Now if you can see I
only have a half a head
00:13:00.14\00:13:01.94
and that's going to
be more than enough.
00:13:01.98\00:13:03.68
Okay.
00:13:03.71\00:13:05.05
So you just slice it
00:13:05.08\00:13:08.42
and if you're fortunate enough
00:13:08.45\00:13:09.78
to have one of
those new contraptions,
00:13:09.82\00:13:11.49
so just turn the handle,
00:13:11.52\00:13:13.49
that's faster.
00:13:13.52\00:13:14.86
Yeah.
00:13:14.89\00:13:17.43
Do you have one of those
new contraptions at home?
00:13:17.46\00:13:19.53
I do. Yes, she does, you know.
00:13:19.56\00:13:21.86
We've used it for years
and it's the hand crank one,
00:13:21.90\00:13:24.40
you know, in fact, Mom,
I love your hand crank one,
00:13:24.43\00:13:28.27
so, you don't really see
them in stores that much,
00:13:28.30\00:13:30.14
they are hard to find.
00:13:30.17\00:13:31.51
But guess what?
00:13:31.54\00:13:32.87
For my birthday one year,
my assistant Mellisa Hoffman,
00:13:32.91\00:13:35.18
she and Chrystique Neibauer
went and found one for...
00:13:35.21\00:13:39.51
I think, actually I think
it was for birthday present.
00:13:39.55\00:13:41.58
And they gave it
to me. Oh, how sweet.
00:13:41.62\00:13:42.95
And I was, I opened that up
00:13:42.98\00:13:44.32
and not just anybody
would be excited about that.
00:13:44.35\00:13:46.09
I was like, oh,
how did you find that?
00:13:46.12\00:13:47.92
You know, I was
really excited about it.
00:13:47.96\00:13:51.06
So I really appreciate it,
so it's little things that,
00:13:51.09\00:13:55.03
you know, mean so much.
00:13:55.06\00:13:56.40
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
00:13:56.43\00:13:57.77
It wasn't, I'm sure,
it wasn't lot of money.
00:13:57.80\00:13:59.13
Well, it makes the
shredding a lot easier.
00:13:59.17\00:14:02.00
And so you're just,
00:14:02.04\00:14:03.57
we're going to just saute
this in little bit of water.
00:14:03.61\00:14:05.94
So we're basically
steaming this, right?
00:14:05.97\00:14:08.01
It's kind of a steam
00:14:08.04\00:14:09.38
but I put a little
bit of butter in it
00:14:09.41\00:14:10.91
because it helps the
water not to burn and...
00:14:10.95\00:14:13.92
Okay, so do we
put that in the...
00:14:13.95\00:14:15.42
All of this or
just a little bit?
00:14:15.45\00:14:18.25
Just a little bit,
00:14:18.29\00:14:19.69
just a little bit
00:14:19.72\00:14:21.06
because you want
to flavor your...
00:14:21.09\00:14:22.99
The only flavoring we use
for this is salt and butter.
00:14:23.02\00:14:26.43
Yeah. That's all.
00:14:26.46\00:14:27.80
Yeah, well, not butter.
00:14:27.83\00:14:29.16
We call it butter
but it's vegan margarine,
00:14:29.20\00:14:30.53
yeah...
00:14:30.57\00:14:31.90
Yeah.
00:14:31.93\00:14:34.00
And so would you say
00:14:34.04\00:14:35.37
half of this in
here or all of it?
00:14:35.40\00:14:36.74
Years ago we called it oleo.
00:14:36.77\00:14:38.11
That's right, we did.
00:14:38.14\00:14:39.47
We used to have to color it.
00:14:39.51\00:14:42.88
So do you want all of this in
00:14:42.91\00:14:44.25
or just half, Mom?
00:14:44.28\00:14:45.61
You don't
remember that though. No.
00:14:45.65\00:14:47.25
Just too little.
00:14:47.28\00:14:48.62
Yeah, about a
tablespoon, something like that.
00:14:48.65\00:14:51.55
Some like that Okay.
00:14:51.59\00:14:52.92
Yeah, that'll be.
Well, that's a half of it.
00:14:52.95\00:14:55.52
Oh, okay. Half of it, all right.
00:14:55.56\00:14:58.33
I was being too generous.
00:14:58.36\00:14:59.69
Yeah, a little bit. All right.
00:14:59.73\00:15:01.63
Well, you know, it's
been grandma generous,
00:15:01.66\00:15:03.73
Grandma Micheff remember
she made fried potatoes,
00:15:03.77\00:15:05.93
she made the best
fried potatoes anytime,
00:15:05.97\00:15:09.17
and she knew all
of us loved them.
00:15:09.20\00:15:10.81
So anytime we came to visit,
she had fried potatoes for us
00:15:10.84\00:15:14.08
and they usually be
kept warm on the stove.
00:15:14.11\00:15:16.88
They were so good.
00:15:16.91\00:15:18.25
And we wondered and finally
one time I asked grandma,
00:15:18.28\00:15:20.35
I said, grandma
what is your secret?
00:15:20.38\00:15:21.75
Why is your potato just so
much better than anybody else's?
00:15:21.78\00:15:25.12
And she goes, "Hon,
00:15:25.15\00:15:26.49
I just used a tiny
little bit of butter,
00:15:26.52\00:15:28.86
not too much."
00:15:28.89\00:15:30.33
Well, I tried to use
the tiny bit of butter
00:15:30.36\00:15:32.59
and my potatoes still
did not taste like grandma's,
00:15:32.63\00:15:35.23
and then one day when
grandma weren't looking,
00:15:35.26\00:15:38.20
I sort of put the whole
stick of butter and cooked them.
00:15:38.23\00:15:41.80
No wonder, I gained five pounds
after a visit with grandma.
00:15:41.84\00:15:47.41
That's like, oh,
that's the secret.
00:15:47.44\00:15:49.74
I will get that in.
00:15:49.78\00:15:51.68
Can she go
ahead and put that in.
00:15:51.71\00:15:53.05
She can. Okay.
00:15:53.08\00:15:54.42
Sis, put this in here.
00:15:54.45\00:15:55.78
But let me melt my
butter in here first.
00:15:55.82\00:15:57.15
Oh, it will all work out.
00:15:57.19\00:15:59.72
There you go. I
got to have room.
00:15:59.75\00:16:01.09
Oh, well, there you go. Yes.
00:16:01.12\00:16:02.69
So we need to
clean the board here.
00:16:02.72\00:16:04.46
You're the Mom,
you get to tell us
00:16:04.49\00:16:05.93
what to do, you see.
00:16:05.96\00:16:07.30
That's one thing, you know,
00:16:07.33\00:16:08.66
it doesn't
matter how old you get,
00:16:08.70\00:16:10.03
your Mom is still your Mom.
00:16:10.07\00:16:11.43
That's right.
00:16:11.47\00:16:12.80
That means, you do
what she says, you know,
00:16:12.83\00:16:15.74
but you want to
cut this one back up?
00:16:15.77\00:16:18.37
There you go. Oh, I can.
00:16:18.41\00:16:20.74
Okay.
00:16:20.78\00:16:22.38
And otherwise
it'll all saute together.
00:16:22.41\00:16:25.45
But as simple as this dish
is, it's one of my favorites.
00:16:25.48\00:16:29.18
But Mom you...
00:16:29.22\00:16:30.55
Everyone of the
grandkids love it.
00:16:30.59\00:16:31.92
And my husband loves it.
00:16:31.95\00:16:33.29
You make a little different now.
00:16:33.32\00:16:34.66
Yes, I add the
shredded carrots to it now
00:16:34.69\00:16:36.56
but back when the
children were little,
00:16:36.59\00:16:40.00
sometimes we
didn't have carrots but I,
00:16:40.03\00:16:41.70
we weren't, I
didn't use them then...
00:16:41.73\00:16:44.23
That's not the
way grandma did it so
00:16:44.27\00:16:45.60
that's probably
not the way you did it.
00:16:45.63\00:16:46.97
But now you've just added it.
00:16:47.00\00:16:48.34
Well, it's more
colorful with potatoes.
00:16:48.37\00:16:51.77
And it's important to
color your plate like a rainbow.
00:16:51.81\00:16:55.91
I knew that was coming.
00:16:55.94\00:16:57.28
You knew, Mom, that
she was gonna get that in.
00:16:57.31\00:16:58.65
I did, I did. I did.
00:16:58.68\00:17:00.18
That's all right, I've...
00:17:00.22\00:17:01.75
I tried to do that too.
00:17:01.78\00:17:03.72
You want me to just put a
little pinch of salt in here?
00:17:03.75\00:17:06.55
There you go. There you go.
00:17:06.59\00:17:08.52
Put some salt in
there, sis, please.
00:17:08.56\00:17:10.06
All right. Okay,
00:17:10.09\00:17:15.73
I dearly love and, you know...
00:17:15.76\00:17:18.70
Well, you know what? You did it.
00:17:18.73\00:17:20.07
I wasn't just
trying to make it salty.
00:17:20.10\00:17:21.44
I know, do you want
to see if I taste good?
00:17:21.47\00:17:24.21
I already know you taste good.
00:17:24.24\00:17:27.18
I got a little salt on my hands.
00:17:27.21\00:17:30.98
You see how much fun
it is in the kitchen.
00:17:31.01\00:17:35.35
You know, it's important
to have fun in the kitchen.
00:17:35.38\00:17:38.12
You know, one of the
things that, you know,
00:17:38.15\00:17:39.82
Mom and dad taught us as
kids growing up in our home,
00:17:39.85\00:17:42.86
that the family
that plays together,
00:17:42.89\00:17:44.59
stays together
00:17:44.63\00:17:45.96
and the family
that praise together,
00:17:45.99\00:17:47.33
stays together.
00:17:47.36\00:17:48.70
It's important
to have that balance
00:17:48.73\00:17:50.07
that you're having fun
00:17:50.10\00:17:51.43
and that you're
playing together, right, Mom?
00:17:51.47\00:17:52.80
That's right.
00:17:52.83\00:17:54.17
And we always did both.
00:17:54.20\00:17:55.90
And it was, it was,
00:17:55.94\00:17:57.27
Mom made a game of
whatever she was doing,
00:17:57.31\00:18:00.48
her kids were doing.
00:18:00.51\00:18:01.84
And Mom would make a game out
00:18:01.88\00:18:03.21
of whatever it was to
keep us thinking it was fun,
00:18:03.24\00:18:04.88
anyway, we didn't know,
00:18:04.91\00:18:06.25
we were working at the time
'cause Mom would make it fun.
00:18:06.28\00:18:09.15
When we grew up, we
didn't have that much
00:18:09.18\00:18:11.62
because they made a
game out of everything
00:18:11.65\00:18:13.36
and we just had fun.
00:18:13.39\00:18:14.99
I didn't know that we were poor
until I went away to school.
00:18:15.02\00:18:19.46
And you know, everybody thought
my dresses weren't, you know,
00:18:19.49\00:18:22.40
as fashionable or
whatever and I just thought,
00:18:22.43\00:18:25.43
well, I didn't know it
and I ask Mom, she says,
00:18:25.47\00:18:27.74
"We just don't have much money."
00:18:27.77\00:18:29.10
I said, "Well,
I never knew that.
00:18:29.14\00:18:31.94
I thought we were rich."
00:18:31.97\00:18:35.01
And we are.
00:18:35.04\00:18:36.38
We were rich in
love. Yeah, we, yeah.
00:18:36.41\00:18:37.75
So, you know, that's
the best wealth to have.
00:18:37.78\00:18:39.11
'Cause remember, remember, Mom,
00:18:39.15\00:18:41.08
that time when we had to move,
00:18:41.12\00:18:43.25
we went to move to this
camp for just a little bit
00:18:43.28\00:18:45.69
'cause we didn't
have a house and at night
00:18:45.72\00:18:49.26
or it was in some place
where there was even some...
00:18:49.29\00:18:51.73
It was in little
grassy lake in Illinois.
00:18:51.76\00:18:53.09
Yeah and there were
some rats or something
00:18:53.13\00:18:55.90
and we would make a
game of counting them.
00:18:55.93\00:18:58.73
You know, Daddy would say, "Ah!
00:18:58.77\00:19:00.10
There is another one
00:19:00.14\00:19:01.47
and who can find the other one?"
00:19:01.50\00:19:02.84
And we would...
00:19:02.87\00:19:04.21
Hey, I mean, we
just thought it was fun.
00:19:04.24\00:19:05.91
There's a rat.
Daddy there's one.
00:19:05.94\00:19:08.58
I also remember
having a special prayer
00:19:08.61\00:19:10.78
that Dad would pray that
00:19:10.81\00:19:12.41
the rats didn't bite
his children when we slept,
00:19:12.45\00:19:14.95
you know, so and I just...
00:19:14.98\00:19:16.82
I know none of us
ever got bit, did we?
00:19:16.85\00:19:19.02
No. No.
00:19:19.05\00:19:20.52
But when you woke up you can see
00:19:20.56\00:19:22.12
the mice and stuff on
the ledge going around.
00:19:22.16\00:19:25.93
Yeah, I still remember that.
00:19:25.96\00:19:28.10
It kind of reminds
me of that, in the,
00:19:28.13\00:19:30.40
when I went to the Dominican
Republic on a mission trip
00:19:30.43\00:19:33.27
when we're way outside
from the towns and okay,
00:19:33.30\00:19:37.57
what we had some big huge rats
00:19:37.61\00:19:39.87
that ran around
our room at night,
00:19:39.91\00:19:41.34
and I told about it in
my book Passionate Prayer.
00:19:41.38\00:19:44.31
It's...
00:19:44.35\00:19:45.88
It was quite, you know,
00:19:45.91\00:19:47.25
it's called the
Reluctant Missionary,
00:19:47.28\00:19:48.82
if you read that chapter.
00:19:48.85\00:19:50.22
And it was...
00:19:50.25\00:19:51.59
I talk about the rats
in there, don't I, sis?
00:19:51.62\00:19:53.15
I don't think you
were as reluctant as I was.
00:19:53.19\00:19:57.69
'Cause I heard rattling
around and I said, sis, sis,
00:19:57.73\00:20:02.70
and she said, I
woke her up and she said,
00:20:02.73\00:20:05.23
"What do you want?"
00:20:05.27\00:20:06.60
I said, "How can you
sleep at a time like that?
00:20:06.63\00:20:08.07
There's rats rerunning around."
00:20:08.10\00:20:09.50
She says, "Well,
Jesus is with us.
00:20:09.54\00:20:11.14
So, I just took my
Bible and went to sleep.
00:20:11.17\00:20:13.17
I have my Bible all night."
00:20:13.21\00:20:17.68
I always save the
core because Joel loves it,
00:20:17.71\00:20:21.28
and my husband Joel and
our floor director love,
00:20:21.32\00:20:26.35
Jeremy loves this.
00:20:26.39\00:20:27.72
So Jeremy, you're getting this.
00:20:27.76\00:20:29.16
So I'm saving it.
00:20:29.19\00:20:30.53
Cinda, just don't
give it to him right now.
00:20:30.56\00:20:31.89
Don't let anybody
get that. Here, Jer.
00:20:31.93\00:20:33.26
Jeremy gets that today.
00:20:33.29\00:20:34.63
Yay!
00:20:34.66\00:20:36.00
we love Jeremy.
00:20:36.03\00:20:39.50
We love Jeremy.
00:20:39.53\00:20:41.24
He gets hungry over there.
00:20:41.27\00:20:42.60
He can have a bite right there.
00:20:42.64\00:20:43.97
So...
00:20:44.01\00:20:45.34
And it's a good nutritious.
00:20:45.37\00:20:46.71
So Mom...
00:20:46.74\00:20:48.41
You're welcome, Jeremy.
00:20:48.44\00:20:49.78
How tender does
this have to get to just
00:20:49.81\00:20:51.25
cooked all the way through?
00:20:51.28\00:20:52.61
Do you like a
little tender, crunchy
00:20:52.65\00:20:54.02
or it needs to be
not crunchy at all?
00:20:54.05\00:20:55.68
However you like it.
00:20:55.72\00:20:57.05
It usually gets a little clear.
00:20:57.09\00:20:59.12
So some of these are
giving a little bit clear
00:20:59.15\00:21:01.26
now that you can see...
00:21:01.29\00:21:02.62
Sure.
00:21:02.66\00:21:03.99
Is like that? Yeah.
00:21:04.03\00:21:05.36
Okay.
00:21:05.39\00:21:06.73
And now do we put the
rest of the butter in?
00:21:06.76\00:21:08.10
Yup, no. No.
00:21:08.13\00:21:10.27
Trying to get
rid of this butter,
00:21:10.30\00:21:11.63
this margarine.
00:21:11.67\00:21:13.00
Hey, I think, I think,
00:21:13.03\00:21:14.74
I'll keep Mom over here
00:21:14.77\00:21:16.37
and you play a
grandma and slip it in.
00:21:16.40\00:21:18.31
Yeah, you want to
get me in trouble.
00:21:21.41\00:21:24.71
Mom...
00:21:24.75\00:21:26.61
Well, when it's done,
00:21:26.65\00:21:29.18
then you put the butter on it
00:21:29.22\00:21:30.55
so that it's flavored
'cause if you heat butter,
00:21:30.59\00:21:34.06
the flavor goes really fast
and so you want to stir them.
00:21:34.09\00:21:37.33
We've to wait till it's
all mixed up then add it.
00:21:37.36\00:21:39.36
Add that and your
noodles at the same time.
00:21:39.39\00:21:42.16
And these noodles have
been cooked ahead of time
00:21:42.20\00:21:44.33
so they are cold.
00:21:44.37\00:21:45.83
So you need to kind of heat them
00:21:45.87\00:21:47.20
a little bit in there.
00:21:47.24\00:21:48.57
Heat them up in there.
00:21:48.60\00:21:49.94
And then the butter so that...
00:21:49.97\00:21:51.47
Well, I, Cinda
plated it up for you,
00:21:51.51\00:21:53.61
Mom, and it's beautiful.
00:21:53.64\00:21:55.24
Look at that.
00:21:55.28\00:21:56.61
So take a look right there,
00:21:56.64\00:21:57.98
that looks good
enough to eat, doesn't it?
00:21:58.01\00:21:59.35
That is a
Micheff family favorite.
00:21:59.38\00:22:00.72
It does look good enough to eat.
00:22:00.75\00:22:02.08
Ain't that
beautiful? And it is delicious.
00:22:02.12\00:22:05.25
It's absolutely as I
would encourage you to try that.
00:22:05.29\00:22:07.26
Some are so
simple and it is so good.
00:22:07.29\00:22:10.29
And it's a good
way to get your kids
00:22:10.33\00:22:11.99
to eat just some cabbage.
00:22:12.03\00:22:14.00
Something else it's
wonderful for kids of all ages
00:22:14.03\00:22:17.03
and that includes our adults
too is Hungarian Spaetzle.
00:22:17.07\00:22:21.20
Oh, let me read the recipe:
00:22:21.24\00:22:23.07
Now my husband and I,
00:22:38.35\00:22:40.19
and Catie just recently
went over to Hungary to see
00:22:40.22\00:22:43.76
our relatives over in Hungary.
00:22:43.79\00:22:45.56
Grandma's?
00:22:45.59\00:22:47.40
Mom and Dad have
been over there too.
00:22:47.43\00:22:49.56
We send them over
there quite a few years ago
00:22:49.60\00:22:52.53
when you first in,
00:22:52.57\00:22:53.90
Dad met some of
his first cousins.
00:22:53.94\00:22:56.10
And we've quite a bit
of our relatives there.
00:22:56.14\00:22:59.34
And they are incredible cooks.
00:22:59.37\00:23:02.41
I mean
incredible cooks. They are.
00:23:02.44\00:23:04.95
And so we were...
00:23:04.98\00:23:06.35
I mean, every meal
00:23:06.38\00:23:07.78
they would fix this
wonderful foods for us
00:23:07.82\00:23:10.35
and I would...
00:23:10.39\00:23:12.32
Now a couple, three of them
00:23:12.35\00:23:14.49
Tibor, and, Janush and,
Judith have learned English.
00:23:14.52\00:23:18.43
That's right.
00:23:18.46\00:23:19.79
And so they are able to,
00:23:19.83\00:23:21.16
so now we're able to
talk to Janush senior
00:23:21.20\00:23:25.13
and Veronica and
Judith and Janush,
00:23:25.17\00:23:28.90
the mom and dad.
00:23:28.94\00:23:30.31
When my husband Tim and
I first went to Hungary,
00:23:30.34\00:23:33.61
our very first trip,
00:23:33.64\00:23:35.44
we didn't speak any Hungarian
00:23:35.48\00:23:37.28
and they didn't
speak any English.
00:23:37.31\00:23:38.65
Nobody, so they had
got a local school teacher
00:23:38.68\00:23:42.12
that spoke English,
00:23:42.15\00:23:43.49
that would come and
join us in the evenings
00:23:43.52\00:23:45.12
and she would interpret.
00:23:45.15\00:23:46.65
And so we would...
00:23:46.69\00:23:48.02
And a whole lot
of sign language.
00:23:48.06\00:23:49.39
Lots of sign language going on
00:23:49.42\00:23:51.06
but, you know, and of
course, we had books too.
00:23:51.09\00:23:53.29
They give us a book that we
could look up the, you know,
00:23:53.33\00:23:56.56
English word, we
were trying to say
00:23:56.60\00:23:57.93
and then show it to them
00:23:57.97\00:23:59.30
and it would have
Hungarian there and vice versa.
00:23:59.33\00:24:01.24
But I got to tell
you, it's really amazing
00:24:01.27\00:24:03.34
how well we communicated
00:24:03.37\00:24:05.47
even though we didn't
speak each other's language.
00:24:05.51\00:24:07.38
It was really...
00:24:07.41\00:24:08.74
But a whole lot more fun now
00:24:08.78\00:24:10.15
that they do have
a way of speaking...
00:24:10.18\00:24:12.61
No problem in heaven,
it's going to be one language.
00:24:12.65\00:24:15.18
Oh, won't that be nice.
00:24:15.22\00:24:16.55
Isn't it awesome? Amen.
00:24:16.58\00:24:17.92
I remember, I
remembered one word,
00:24:17.95\00:24:19.82
one from grandma and it was...
00:24:19.85\00:24:21.86
And that's, I love you.
00:24:27.03\00:24:29.16
And I'm not even
going to attempt to say that
00:24:29.20\00:24:31.13
'cause it won't come
out even close to that.
00:24:31.17\00:24:33.07
We love you. We do love you.
00:24:33.10\00:24:35.77
We love all of our
family in Hungary and...
00:24:35.80\00:24:38.21
But make sure you
get a copy of this
00:24:38.24\00:24:39.77
so that you can see.
00:24:39.81\00:24:41.14
The reason our
spaetzle is not Hungarian,
00:24:41.18\00:24:44.91
native to Hungarian
00:24:44.95\00:24:46.28
but Brenda call
it Hungarian spaetzle
00:24:46.31\00:24:47.95
because our Hungarian relative
showed me how they make it,
00:24:47.98\00:24:52.59
because when we were in Prague,
00:24:52.62\00:24:54.12
we had spaetzle and we
were in Vienna we had spaetzle.
00:24:54.16\00:24:57.29
And this was my, our
relatives made this for us.
00:24:57.33\00:25:01.66
In fact we've a picture,
00:25:01.70\00:25:03.03
let's show it to them right now.
00:25:03.06\00:25:04.40
Let's show the picture.
00:25:04.43\00:25:05.77
This is Judith teaching
me how to make spaetzle.
00:25:05.80\00:25:10.17
And, in fact she even gave me
00:25:10.21\00:25:14.74
the spaetzle maker
that you see in the picture.
00:25:14.78\00:25:17.18
Wow!
00:25:17.21\00:25:18.55
And I think we
have one more picture
00:25:18.58\00:25:20.02
of Judith with,
00:25:20.05\00:25:22.38
that's the Mom Judith
and then my daughter Catie
00:25:22.42\00:25:25.25
and then Judith's daughter.
00:25:25.29\00:25:29.32
They both have the same name,
00:25:29.36\00:25:30.69
Judith so which
is Judith in English.
00:25:30.73\00:25:34.23
That's what that mean, so...
00:25:34.26\00:25:35.60
And so they actually
gave me the spaetzle maker
00:25:35.63\00:25:38.90
which I will
show you how to use.
00:25:38.93\00:25:40.97
So Brenda, if you
could turn the fire up...
00:25:41.00\00:25:43.47
Fire up.
00:25:43.51\00:25:44.84
So we can have
our boiling water.
00:25:44.87\00:25:46.61
Now they use
eggs in their spaetzle
00:25:46.64\00:25:50.01
and I wanted to make a
vegan version of spaetzle.
00:25:50.05\00:25:53.72
And so I try
different types of flour
00:25:53.75\00:25:56.25
and I also wanted to be healthy
00:25:56.28\00:25:57.89
so I went with a
white whole wheat,
00:25:57.92\00:26:01.02
and then I went in with just
a little bit of semolina flour,
00:26:01.06\00:26:05.63
and a little bit of salt.
00:26:05.66\00:26:07.46
Okay.
00:26:07.50\00:26:08.83
And now you can use
00:26:08.86\00:26:12.00
any type of vegan
milk product that you want.
00:26:12.03\00:26:17.61
I liked the
almond original flavor.
00:26:17.64\00:26:22.01
And that's what I'm using.
00:26:22.04\00:26:23.71
And now, Mom,
00:26:23.75\00:26:25.68
grandma taught you
00:26:25.71\00:26:27.55
and then you taught
us how to make dumplings.
00:26:27.58\00:26:30.39
But this is a
little bit different.
00:26:30.42\00:26:32.29
It's a thin batter
00:26:32.32\00:26:34.86
and you're going to
see the consistency.
00:26:34.89\00:26:36.83
That surprises me with
that, see the thin batter
00:26:36.86\00:26:38.73
'cause we've all made
noodles and we've all made,
00:26:38.76\00:26:41.16
you know, dumplings
00:26:41.20\00:26:42.53
and of course that's a
little more of a dough,
00:26:42.56\00:26:44.53
and this doesn't seem
like dough to me at all.
00:26:44.57\00:26:47.10
It's a...
00:26:47.14\00:26:48.47
It seems more
like a pan cake batter.
00:26:48.50\00:26:49.84
It did.
00:26:49.87\00:26:51.21
And in fact, when
she was showing me
00:26:51.24\00:26:53.07
I kept reaching for,
00:26:53.11\00:26:55.64
she actually used water
with her but she used an egg.
00:26:55.68\00:26:59.65
And I kept
reaching, you know, from water
00:26:59.68\00:27:03.79
and she go, no,
no, no, no, you know,
00:27:03.82\00:27:07.09
and she actually showed me
00:27:07.12\00:27:09.22
that you do not
want it to be real thick
00:27:09.26\00:27:13.16
which I was really surprised at.
00:27:13.19\00:27:14.90
But this they served
in a lot of their soup,
00:27:14.93\00:27:18.70
see how thin that is.
00:27:18.73\00:27:20.97
I mean it's not,
it's not real thick.
00:27:21.00\00:27:24.01
You don't want it too thin...
00:27:24.04\00:27:26.81
To me the
consistency like Linda said it,
00:27:26.84\00:27:28.58
it's just a little
thicker than a pan cake batter.
00:27:28.61\00:27:30.98
Or just like you
would make a waffle.
00:27:31.01\00:27:32.91
Yes, you know what?
00:27:32.95\00:27:34.28
It's probably more
like we would make a waffle.
00:27:34.32\00:27:36.48
That's exact,
that's a good analogy sis.
00:27:36.52\00:27:42.49
We just had so much fun
00:27:42.52\00:27:44.33
and I learned so
much about our heritage,
00:27:44.36\00:27:47.06
it really taught
me a lot from grandma
00:27:47.10\00:27:49.30
because grandma made everything.
00:27:49.33\00:27:51.77
She didn't buy her sauerkraut,
00:27:51.80\00:27:53.84
she made her sauerkraut...
00:27:53.87\00:27:55.20
I mean she made everything.
Everything from scratch.
00:27:55.24\00:27:56.74
Well, over there Janush
made his own, they make,
00:27:56.77\00:28:01.54
Janush and Judith
make their own cheese,
00:28:01.58\00:28:04.11
they make their
own cottage cheese,
00:28:04.15\00:28:05.48
they make their own
butter, they make their own,
00:28:05.51\00:28:08.08
I mean every sour
cream, Veronica...
00:28:08.12\00:28:10.02
They have their beehives
and they have their own honey.
00:28:10.05\00:28:12.29
Yeah, Veronica...
00:28:12.32\00:28:13.66
Well, Cinda has that.
00:28:13.69\00:28:15.02
Yeah, my
husband is a bee master.
00:28:15.06\00:28:16.39
He has his own honey.
00:28:16.42\00:28:18.36
But the whole family
Tibor, Janush, Veronica,
00:28:18.39\00:28:23.80
they all are and they...
00:28:23.83\00:28:25.93
They are some of the most
creative people though that
00:28:25.97\00:28:28.34
you'd ever want to meet.
00:28:28.37\00:28:29.70
They really are, you know...
00:28:29.74\00:28:31.07
Okay, consume the water.
00:28:31.11\00:28:32.57
Amazing.
00:28:32.61\00:28:33.94
They are an extremely talented
but everything is homemade,
00:28:33.98\00:28:37.28
their jams, you guys
would have loved their jams,
00:28:37.31\00:28:41.82
they don't use any
sugar at all in their jams.
00:28:41.85\00:28:44.52
It's all fresh fruit
and they make everything.
00:28:44.55\00:28:47.49
I mean, everything is homemade.
00:28:47.52\00:28:49.32
No wonder it tastes so good.
00:28:49.36\00:28:50.69
Can I just tell
you thank you so much
00:28:50.73\00:28:52.39
for all the jam
you sent back to me.
00:28:52.43\00:28:53.76
I loved it.
00:28:53.80\00:28:55.46
And for the honey that
you gave me through Brenda.
00:28:55.50\00:28:57.73
And my honey too,
although I need some more
00:28:57.77\00:29:00.17
because my
husband actually finished
00:29:00.20\00:29:01.77
all of it before I got it.
00:29:01.80\00:29:03.14
I got may be one teaspoon of it.
00:29:03.17\00:29:04.64
He loves it.
00:29:04.67\00:29:07.24
Okay, so this is the spaetzle
maker that they gave me.
00:29:07.28\00:29:10.58
Now you can buy these,
I found out in the States.
00:29:10.61\00:29:13.92
So what this does is
this slips on like this.
00:29:13.95\00:29:19.45
Get it in the
groove here, there,
00:29:19.49\00:29:23.56
and then it sits over.
00:29:23.59\00:29:25.13
See it's got little,
00:29:25.16\00:29:26.49
it's got a
little ledge right here
00:29:26.53\00:29:28.00
and it sits right on your pan.
00:29:28.03\00:29:30.37
And now what you're going
to do is you bring your...
00:29:30.40\00:29:33.20
I bring this here
so that I can scoop it
00:29:33.23\00:29:37.47
and I'm going to put
some of this batter in here...
00:29:37.51\00:29:40.84
And the water is a rapid boil.
00:29:40.88\00:29:42.54
And the water is a rapid boil.
00:29:42.58\00:29:44.75
And I'm going to put,
00:29:44.78\00:29:46.11
I'm going to fill
this up like this.
00:29:46.15\00:29:50.12
And then what you do is
just a slow motion over it.
00:29:50.15\00:29:53.92
And I don't know
if you can get in to
00:29:53.96\00:29:56.19
where you can
actually see it dropping.
00:29:56.22\00:29:58.03
Yes, you can, excellent.
00:29:58.06\00:29:59.39
Oh, good.
00:29:59.43\00:30:00.76
Way to go, Jeremy.
00:30:00.80\00:30:02.13
Tell you what,
Jeremy is our floor director
00:30:02.16\00:30:04.87
and he's also our jib operator
and he's doing an awesome job.
00:30:04.90\00:30:09.34
And then when
they float to the top,
00:30:09.37\00:30:11.21
it just doesn't take
long at all when they float...
00:30:11.24\00:30:14.14
See that kind of like dumplings.
00:30:14.18\00:30:15.94
When dumplings, you
know, come to the top...
00:30:15.98\00:30:17.55
When they come to
the top like this...
00:30:17.58\00:30:19.71
Let me hold this, sis.
00:30:19.75\00:30:21.08
Just hold that for a minute
and I'll put some more in.
00:30:21.12\00:30:23.35
So when they come to the top,
you're going to scoop them out
00:30:23.39\00:30:26.35
and I have a
colander right here.
00:30:26.39\00:30:29.39
And I'm going to just go
like this and look at them.
00:30:29.42\00:30:32.43
And I'll do one,
00:30:32.46\00:30:33.80
I'll finish
doing them because...
00:30:33.83\00:30:35.53
That's fast. Yes.
00:30:35.56\00:30:38.53
And they put it in
a lot of their soups
00:30:38.57\00:30:42.37
or they'll just
put margarine on this.
00:30:42.40\00:30:45.81
Actually it's
their homemade butter
00:30:45.84\00:30:47.94
that they do and
they'll put their homemade
00:30:47.98\00:30:50.25
cheese and sour cream.
00:30:53.42\00:30:54.75
They put cabbage in there too.
They actually, they do, Mom...
00:30:54.78\00:30:56.12
They do.
00:30:56.15\00:30:57.49
They make cabbage
and noodles with this.
00:30:57.52\00:31:00.19
Isn't this easy and you can
just do this right over your...
00:31:00.22\00:31:04.79
You can do this
right over your soup,
00:31:04.83\00:31:06.73
right before you're getting
ready to serve your soup,
00:31:06.76\00:31:09.53
there's, whoops...
00:31:09.56\00:31:10.90
We're gonna get
big dumpling there.
00:31:10.93\00:31:12.27
We're gonna have a big dumpling.
00:31:12.30\00:31:13.64
You didn't get
closer for that, Jeremy.
00:31:13.67\00:31:16.20
Thanks, sis.
00:31:16.24\00:31:18.57
Thanks, Jeremy.
00:31:18.61\00:31:21.51
Actually we grew up
with grandma would make
00:31:21.54\00:31:25.01
big dumplings like that
00:31:25.05\00:31:26.61
and that's still
Daddy's favorite to this day.
00:31:26.65\00:31:29.28
It is.
00:31:29.32\00:31:30.65
Daddy loves those big ones.
00:31:30.69\00:31:32.75
So actually that
one isn't so bad.
00:31:32.79\00:31:34.96
We'll save it for you, Daddy.
00:31:34.99\00:31:36.86
I actually love them too.
00:31:36.89\00:31:38.29
And my kids do too.
00:31:38.33\00:31:40.00
I make the big ones for them.
00:31:40.03\00:31:41.53
Let's...
00:31:41.56\00:31:42.90
I think I can
quickly get some more,
00:31:42.93\00:31:44.27
the rest of this
in here before that...
00:31:44.30\00:31:46.10
But be sure to get it all.
00:31:46.13\00:31:49.97
Yeah, you don't
want to waste this.
00:31:50.01\00:31:51.34
And Mom's not letting us
get away with nothing now.
00:31:51.37\00:31:52.94
And actually...
00:31:52.97\00:31:56.14
You really be surprised,
00:31:56.18\00:31:58.15
you're not going to
miss the egg in this.
00:31:58.18\00:32:01.38
I was surprised about that.
00:32:01.42\00:32:03.82
It was really good.
00:32:03.85\00:32:05.32
Okay, let's go, I know,
if Judith was here with me,
00:32:05.35\00:32:08.42
she'd go, "Cinda,
hurry, get it in there."
00:32:08.46\00:32:10.86
because she doesn't
want all this other ones
00:32:10.89\00:32:12.73
that are already
in there to cook.
00:32:12.76\00:32:14.83
Oh, so you want
to try to make sure
00:32:14.86\00:32:16.36
if it's also they're all even.
00:32:16.40\00:32:19.57
And now we'll just
scoop it out again.
00:32:19.60\00:32:22.54
But, did you see
how fast that is?
00:32:22.57\00:32:24.47
I mean, it's not
hardly anytime at all
00:32:24.51\00:32:26.54
and they're rising to the top.
00:32:26.57\00:32:28.04
So right before
you serve your soup
00:32:28.08\00:32:31.58
just a couple of minutes before,
00:32:31.61\00:32:33.48
grate this over your soup.
00:32:33.52\00:32:35.25
And you'll have the
homemade little dumplings,
00:32:35.28\00:32:37.85
so and it is so good.
00:32:37.89\00:32:41.42
And I mean, I just,
00:32:41.46\00:32:45.86
I learnt so much from Judith
00:32:45.89\00:32:49.00
and Veronica and,
00:32:49.03\00:32:51.77
Judith the daughter.
00:32:51.80\00:32:54.20
I mean, I really
would love to go back
00:32:54.24\00:32:55.87
and have some more
cooking lessons from them.
00:32:55.90\00:32:59.27
I would too but we
had such a good time, Mom.
00:32:59.31\00:33:01.51
We did have a good time.
00:33:01.54\00:33:02.88
And we really learned
00:33:02.91\00:33:04.35
a lot of different
types of twist on recipes
00:33:04.38\00:33:07.45
that we've already
done here in our homes
00:33:07.48\00:33:10.32
but just to see the
little different way
00:33:10.35\00:33:12.05
that they do it is...
00:33:12.09\00:33:13.42
Give me that
bowl. It's really nice
00:33:13.46\00:33:15.69
and I'm going to
let Mom taste it,
00:33:15.72\00:33:18.29
anybody else,
00:33:18.33\00:33:19.66
I know Brenda
and Linda won't but
00:33:19.69\00:33:21.43
put a little bit of
margarine in yours, Mom.
00:33:21.46\00:33:26.40
You know what, sisters,
00:33:26.43\00:33:27.77
I realized we've been
doing cooking programs on 3ABN
00:33:27.80\00:33:31.17
for about 25 years now
00:33:31.21\00:33:33.78
and we have never done
a program just on noodles.
00:33:33.81\00:33:36.34
Did you realize that? Really?
00:33:36.38\00:33:38.28
Yeah, we've
never done noodle it.
00:33:38.31\00:33:40.22
We've never had just
a program on noodles.
00:33:40.25\00:33:42.88
And I love noodles. Wow!
00:33:42.92\00:33:44.25
Yeah, and how cool is
that Mom's here for us.
00:33:44.29\00:33:46.96
Yes.
00:33:46.99\00:33:48.32
For, Mom, and new program for us
00:33:48.36\00:33:49.69
and I'm so glad you're with us.
00:33:49.72\00:33:51.43
Okay, Mom.
00:33:51.46\00:33:52.79
Mom can be, and
Mom's a good taster too.
00:33:52.83\00:33:54.63
Say what you think?
00:33:54.66\00:33:58.03
Pretty good.
00:33:58.07\00:34:00.24
Wow!
00:34:00.27\00:34:01.60
If you got Mom's thumbs up,
00:34:01.64\00:34:02.97
I think that's
pretty good right there.
00:34:03.00\00:34:04.34
You don't miss the eggs, do you?
00:34:04.37\00:34:05.71
You don't.
00:34:05.74\00:34:07.18
You don't want
just one tiny bite?
00:34:07.21\00:34:08.91
And no, no, I
will after the program.
00:34:08.94\00:34:11.41
All right, this is for Brenda.
00:34:11.45\00:34:13.35
Linda.
00:34:13.38\00:34:14.72
And that one's for
your neighbor overseas.
00:34:14.75\00:34:16.08
She took a bite for me.
00:34:16.12\00:34:17.79
I'll take a bite for you too.
00:34:17.82\00:34:19.72
And that's for
your neighbor overseas.
00:34:19.75\00:34:22.52
Your family overseas.
00:34:22.56\00:34:23.89
Jeremy, you want a bite?
00:34:23.93\00:34:25.26
Come here, Jeremy, come here.
00:34:25.29\00:34:26.63
Oh, hey, Jeremy, you got to...
00:34:26.66\00:34:28.00
You know what?
00:34:28.03\00:34:29.36
I'm guessing that our
viewers are not gonna believe
00:34:29.40\00:34:30.97
that we really said, are you,
00:34:31.00\00:34:32.33
that you're not going to believe
00:34:32.37\00:34:33.70
Jeremy really is here
that's going to eat that core,
00:34:33.74\00:34:35.30
that cabbage.
00:34:35.34\00:34:36.67
Bring that core
cabbage. Come on.
00:34:36.71\00:34:38.04
I want it, come right out here.
00:34:38.07\00:34:39.41
Let's come right down here.
00:34:39.44\00:34:41.34
Look right at that camera.
00:34:41.38\00:34:42.71
This is our Jeremy.
00:34:42.74\00:34:44.41
We call him Jer Bear.
We love you, Jer Bear.
00:34:44.45\00:34:46.45
You have to have a bite of this.
00:34:46.48\00:34:49.35
It's pretty good.
00:34:49.38\00:34:50.72
Is that good? All
right, cabbage, cabbage.
00:34:50.75\00:34:53.96
Wow!
00:34:53.99\00:34:55.32
See it goes cabbage.
00:34:55.36\00:34:57.33
See, cabbage and noodles.
00:34:57.36\00:35:00.46
He ate it.
00:35:00.50\00:35:02.60
Well, let's take a
look at what Cinda's
00:35:02.63\00:35:04.37
already has a one
plated and ready to go with
00:35:04.40\00:35:06.74
just a little bit
of parsley for garnish.
00:35:06.77\00:35:09.57
And doesn't that look delicious?
00:35:09.60\00:35:11.04
It's and you saw how easy it is.
00:35:11.07\00:35:12.67
It is.
00:35:12.71\00:35:14.04
Well, coming up next
is my vegetable pad Thai.
00:35:14.08\00:35:17.18
Let me read the recipe for you.
00:35:17.21\00:35:18.75
For this you will need:
00:35:18.78\00:35:20.12
So... Sounds delicious.
00:36:14.87\00:36:17.34
I love Thai food
00:36:17.37\00:36:18.97
although I have not
had the privilege of
00:36:19.01\00:36:20.71
ever visiting Thailand.
00:36:20.74\00:36:22.08
I hope to go some day.
00:36:22.11\00:36:23.45
Cinda, you have
been to Thailand.
00:36:23.48\00:36:24.81
Yes, because my daughter Catie
00:36:24.85\00:36:27.38
was a student
missionary in Bonk Tee
00:36:27.42\00:36:30.59
at the Bamboo school.
00:36:30.62\00:36:32.32
And so we went
over to just see her
00:36:32.35\00:36:34.82
and travel Thailand.
00:36:34.86\00:36:36.19
And you also got a cooking
lesson that was really special.
00:36:36.22\00:36:37.69
We are, we went to
a Thai cooking school
00:36:37.73\00:36:39.89
and it was so fun.
00:36:39.93\00:36:41.33
So one of these days,
00:36:41.36\00:36:42.70
I think it'd be
great if all of us
00:36:42.73\00:36:44.07
went over with Mom too.
00:36:44.10\00:36:45.43
Thanks.
00:36:45.47\00:36:46.80
You know, and
really got one of those
00:36:46.84\00:36:48.40
really authentic
Thai cooking lessons,
00:36:48.44\00:36:50.51
wouldn't that be awesome?
00:36:50.54\00:36:51.87
That would be. That would be.
00:36:51.91\00:36:53.24
And, you know, they took us to
00:36:53.27\00:36:54.88
downtown to the market
00:36:54.91\00:36:56.71
and they don't go
to a grocery store
00:36:56.75\00:36:59.05
like we would go
to grocery store.
00:36:59.08\00:37:00.92
It's an open market
00:37:00.95\00:37:02.82
and they had all
kinds of fresh vegetables
00:37:02.85\00:37:05.45
that we don't have over here.
00:37:05.49\00:37:07.72
And so they showed
us how to pick it out
00:37:07.76\00:37:10.23
and actually now you
could go to an Asian market
00:37:10.26\00:37:14.36
and you can get
a lot of the things
00:37:14.40\00:37:16.03
that they
actually have over there,
00:37:16.06\00:37:17.63
like they have some
purple sweet potatoes
00:37:17.67\00:37:19.57
that are so good.
00:37:19.60\00:37:21.60
Oh, that sounds wonderful.
00:37:21.64\00:37:23.04
Purple? Yes.
00:37:23.07\00:37:24.64
Oh, I've had
purple sweet potatoes,
00:37:24.67\00:37:26.01
they're wonderful.
00:37:26.04\00:37:27.38
They're beautiful
purple. Oh, you just grab one.
00:37:27.41\00:37:28.74
They sell them on the streets,
00:37:28.78\00:37:30.11
street vendors all they
have big, big cooked ones
00:37:30.15\00:37:31.81
and you just
walk down the streets
00:37:31.85\00:37:33.18
eating your purple sweet potato.
00:37:33.21\00:37:34.55
Wow!
00:37:34.58\00:37:35.92
And the flavor,
I have tasted that
00:37:35.95\00:37:37.29
and it's delicious.
00:37:37.32\00:37:38.65
You don't need anything on them.
00:37:38.69\00:37:40.02
By the way, sisters,
00:37:40.06\00:37:41.39
Mom, I know you've taught us
00:37:41.42\00:37:42.76
since we were really, really
little to always be honest.
00:37:42.79\00:37:45.09
And I've made an
incorrect statement
00:37:45.13\00:37:47.66
and I have to be
honest and come clean
00:37:47.70\00:37:49.36
'cause I didn't,
I said it, really,
00:37:49.40\00:37:52.03
you know, 'cause, Mom I am
getting older so, you know,
00:37:52.07\00:37:54.20
I'm forgetful but my
assistant Mellisa Hoffman...
00:37:54.24\00:37:56.54
She doesn't forget
much. Let me tell you.
00:37:56.57\00:37:59.17
Yes, but I did forget this
00:37:59.21\00:38:00.64
'cause my
assistant Mellisa Hoffman,
00:38:00.68\00:38:02.54
she reminded me
00:38:02.58\00:38:04.08
that we have done several
cooking programs on noodles
00:38:04.11\00:38:08.18
in the last 25 years.
00:38:08.22\00:38:09.55
I forgot about that.
00:38:09.58\00:38:10.92
Well, you know what,
you just lost your noodle.
00:38:10.95\00:38:13.46
Exactly.
00:38:13.49\00:38:15.32
We'll just forgive you, darling.
00:38:15.36\00:38:17.69
You just lost your
noodle and, you know what,
00:38:17.73\00:38:20.00
Mellisa helped her find it.
00:38:20.03\00:38:21.90
So you're all right.
00:38:21.93\00:38:23.53
So I just wanted to be clear.
00:38:23.57\00:38:26.80
I did make a mistake.
00:38:26.84\00:38:28.40
But we did not want to
leave our Thai dish here.
00:38:28.44\00:38:32.67
And so this is my
version but having said
00:38:32.71\00:38:35.04
I've never been to Thailand,
00:38:35.08\00:38:36.41
this is my version of
Thai, vegetable pad Thai.
00:38:36.44\00:38:39.31
But eaten at a lot
of Thai restaurants, so.
00:38:39.35\00:38:41.55
Oh, yeah. Oh, yes.
00:38:41.58\00:38:43.28
Around the world actually.
She's eating that peanuts.
00:38:43.32\00:38:45.45
Are you eating my peanuts?
00:38:45.49\00:38:49.19
Yeah, I was
speaking at a church recently
00:38:49.22\00:38:51.53
and afterwards this
little boy came out to me
00:38:51.56\00:38:54.00
and he said, "Miss
Brenda, Miss Brenda,
00:38:54.03\00:38:55.43
I got to tell you
something" and I said, what?
00:38:55.46\00:38:57.30
He said, "Miss Cinda
was snitching your food
00:38:57.33\00:39:00.74
and eating it behind your back.
00:39:00.77\00:39:02.44
I watched your
cooking show this week."
00:39:02.47\00:39:04.17
He said, "I want to tell you
00:39:04.21\00:39:05.54
'cause nobody
else is telling you
00:39:05.57\00:39:06.91
but she was snitching on you."
00:39:06.94\00:39:10.78
Seriously...
00:39:10.81\00:39:12.15
So someone's going to tell me,
00:39:12.18\00:39:13.52
you see, if Linda hadn't done,
00:39:13.55\00:39:14.88
someone was to gonna, you know,
00:39:14.92\00:39:16.25
tell me about, I know.
00:39:16.28\00:39:17.62
Peanuts are my favorite nut
and she put them right by me.
00:39:17.65\00:39:20.42
So what does she think?
00:39:20.46\00:39:21.79
We're going to give
them to Mom to take care off.
00:39:21.82\00:39:23.16
Okay, Mom, you just
take these, guard on that...
00:39:23.19\00:39:24.63
How can I not eat them?
00:39:24.66\00:39:26.03
Yeah, you just guys,
00:39:26.06\00:39:27.40
Mom's going to eat the nuts too.
00:39:27.43\00:39:29.96
I'll take the nuts.
00:39:30.00\00:39:32.97
Now, you know where I get it.
00:39:33.00\00:39:35.94
You're busted, Mom.
00:39:35.97\00:39:39.61
All right, well,
let's hear we got our tofu,
00:39:39.64\00:39:41.98
it's water packed.
00:39:42.01\00:39:43.35
And it has been
rinsed and drained
00:39:43.38\00:39:45.21
and then to really
get it drained well,
00:39:45.25\00:39:48.05
wrap it up in
some, you know, a cloth,
00:39:48.08\00:39:50.32
and set something heavy on it...
00:39:50.35\00:39:52.95
Like me.
00:39:52.99\00:39:54.72
No, you're not heavy.
00:39:54.76\00:39:57.26
Okay, and so what I do
is I'll give this, sis.
00:39:57.29\00:40:01.10
I'm just going to take and just
cut it right down the middle
00:40:01.13\00:40:04.83
like that and
then lay it on a side.
00:40:04.87\00:40:07.74
And then I'm going to cut it,
strips of it like this and then
00:40:07.77\00:40:13.31
I'm just going to like that.
00:40:13.34\00:40:15.24
And... Oh, pretty nifty.
00:40:15.28\00:40:16.61
So Linda, if you
turn that skillet on,
00:40:16.64\00:40:17.98
we're going to...
00:40:18.01\00:40:19.35
It's on. Blacken the tofu.
00:40:19.38\00:40:21.38
Okay.
00:40:21.42\00:40:22.75
And I love tofu,
00:40:22.78\00:40:24.69
I don't like raw
tofu, I like cooked tofu.
00:40:24.72\00:40:28.26
And I like it because
00:40:28.29\00:40:30.83
it really takes on
whatever flavor you give it.
00:40:30.86\00:40:32.96
It's right. Tofu
doesn't have a flavor.
00:40:32.99\00:40:35.23
It really doesn't
have a strong flavor...
00:40:35.26\00:40:36.77
So you flavor it by
the sauces and seasonings
00:40:36.80\00:40:38.33
that you prepare with.
00:40:38.37\00:40:39.70
But it's the texture,
it's the texture that I,
00:40:39.73\00:40:41.74
that really makes
a difference to me.
00:40:41.77\00:40:43.44
If you have it raw
versus if you cook it...
00:40:43.47\00:40:45.71
And actually if you freeze it...
00:40:45.74\00:40:47.91
Yes, you will get
even different texture.
00:40:47.94\00:40:49.28
You will get even
a different texture.
00:40:49.31\00:40:50.65
I actually like it frozen, Mom
00:40:50.68\00:40:52.01
because after you freeze tofu
00:40:52.05\00:40:54.15
and then you
said... Changes the texture.
00:40:54.18\00:40:55.68
Texture, so a little chewer.
00:40:55.72\00:40:57.25
And so I like that like,
00:40:57.29\00:40:58.95
someone told me it tastes
more like of a chicken texture,
00:40:58.99\00:41:01.46
you know, so...
00:41:01.49\00:41:02.82
I wouldn't know 'cause
they're safe around me.
00:41:02.86\00:41:06.59
Oh, no she raises
chickens for my grandsons.
00:41:06.63\00:41:09.63
Yeah, and they're like her pets.
00:41:09.66\00:41:12.07
Okay, so we have
this really on high
00:41:12.10\00:41:15.24
and you can spray that,
00:41:15.27\00:41:16.60
sis, with a non
stick cooking spray.
00:41:16.64\00:41:19.41
And, Mom, when she does that,
00:41:19.44\00:41:20.78
can you just add all
of that tofu in there?
00:41:20.81\00:41:23.28
And we're going
to put that in there,
00:41:23.31\00:41:26.65
then Linda's going
to spray it once again
00:41:26.68\00:41:29.72
and we're going to just sprinkle
00:41:29.75\00:41:31.49
some blacken seasonings over it
00:41:31.52\00:41:33.36
and it just gives a little spice
00:41:33.39\00:41:34.72
and a little color,
00:41:34.76\00:41:36.16
and so you're just going
to blacken that for us, okay?
00:41:36.19\00:41:38.89
And now while,
00:41:38.93\00:41:42.06
and here's the
blacken seasoning.
00:41:42.10\00:41:43.90
So, Mom, after she sprays that,
00:41:43.93\00:41:45.67
you just sprinkle a
little of that over that
00:41:45.70\00:41:49.50
and then we're going
to let that really get,
00:41:49.54\00:41:51.51
you know, on high.
00:41:51.54\00:41:53.04
If we're going to do it on high
00:41:53.07\00:41:54.41
till it gets
really nice and cooked.
00:41:54.44\00:41:55.84
And when she turns it over,
you'll put the rest of it on.
00:41:55.88\00:41:58.08
Okay?
00:41:58.11\00:41:59.45
And so while she's, you
know, browning up the tofu,
00:41:59.48\00:42:02.72
Mom, we're going
to make the sauce.
00:42:02.75\00:42:04.09
So, Linda, why
don't you turn that...
00:42:04.12\00:42:05.45
What's Cinda doing over there?
00:42:05.49\00:42:06.82
Oh, you know
what, let's get her bit.
00:42:06.86\00:42:08.59
I was eyeing those
peanuts, you know...
00:42:08.62\00:42:10.69
I know you better keep her busy.
00:42:10.73\00:42:12.46
Mom, I better keep Cinda busy.
00:42:12.49\00:42:13.96
So, Cinda, you're going to
give me the juice of one lime
00:42:14.00\00:42:18.43
and you're going to
squeeze it out in here.
00:42:18.47\00:42:20.64
Okay, I can do that.
00:42:20.67\00:42:22.00
And Mom's going to
need that in her sauce.
00:42:22.04\00:42:23.37
Okay.
00:42:23.41\00:42:24.74
And then as soon as
you're done with that,
00:42:24.77\00:42:26.41
we want you to julienne carrots.
00:42:26.44\00:42:27.78
Okay.
00:42:27.81\00:42:29.14
And when you're ready
to julienne the carrots,
00:42:29.18\00:42:30.51
you stop me 'cause I want
them to see how you're doing it.
00:42:30.55\00:42:32.25
Okay.
00:42:32.28\00:42:33.62
Okay, so she's doing that
00:42:33.65\00:42:34.98
getting our
juice ready over there.
00:42:35.02\00:42:36.35
Mom, you can
just add all this is,
00:42:36.38\00:42:38.49
the sweet chili sauce,
00:42:38.52\00:42:41.16
add all these
ingredients here to that bowl
00:42:41.19\00:42:44.56
and I'm going to let you do it.
00:42:44.59\00:42:46.53
I've already spilled it,
don't tell on me though, okay.
00:42:46.56\00:42:48.66
You're telling on yourself.
00:42:52.60\00:42:54.50
Well, you know, Mom
says to stay honest,
00:42:54.54\00:42:56.64
so I want to be honest
about stuff so I did it.
00:42:56.67\00:43:00.04
And so we're
going just put all that.
00:43:00.08\00:43:02.98
Now, the one thing,
00:43:03.01\00:43:04.41
ingredients that you
might not have heard before
00:43:04.45\00:43:06.21
but I have the
chicken better than bouillon
00:43:06.25\00:43:09.25
no chicken base.
00:43:09.28\00:43:12.49
I, this is my
very favorite brand
00:43:12.52\00:43:16.06
for chicken seasoning
00:43:16.09\00:43:19.79
for vegetarian
chicken seasoning.
00:43:19.83\00:43:21.73
It is just has
a wonderful taste,
00:43:21.76\00:43:23.80
I use it for a lot of things.
00:43:23.83\00:43:25.93
Interchangeably we grew up
00:43:25.97\00:43:27.44
with McKay's
chicken style seasoning,
00:43:27.47\00:43:29.27
you can use that or
your favorite vegan,
00:43:29.30\00:43:33.31
your favorite vegan one as well.
00:43:33.34\00:43:37.15
And I'm just going to
put this, actually Mom,
00:43:37.18\00:43:40.35
I'm just going to get...
00:43:40.38\00:43:45.62
Do you want me to julienne?
00:43:45.65\00:43:46.99
Linda, can I have
your spatula please
00:43:47.02\00:43:48.42
'cause this is not working.
00:43:48.46\00:43:49.79
Do you want me to
start julienne these?
00:43:49.82\00:43:51.63
Yup, give two seconds.
00:43:51.66\00:43:52.99
Mom, may be you can
get it off with this.
00:43:53.03\00:43:54.73
And then add that
lime juice inside that.
00:43:54.76\00:43:57.23
She's going to just stir that up
00:43:57.27\00:43:58.70
and bring it to a simmer,
00:43:58.73\00:44:00.07
okay.
00:44:00.10\00:44:01.44
While she's doing that,
00:44:01.47\00:44:02.80
let's go and see
what Cinda is doing.
00:44:02.84\00:44:04.17
This is what you
call a julienne peeler...
00:44:04.21\00:44:05.54
A carrot.
00:44:05.57\00:44:06.91
Okay, peeler,
00:44:06.94\00:44:08.44
not a pillar, a peeler
00:44:08.48\00:44:09.84
and this here has
already been washed.
00:44:09.88\00:44:12.48
Here see that, do you
see the ridges on this?
00:44:12.51\00:44:14.48
Can you see that?
00:44:14.52\00:44:15.85
Yeah, looks
dangerous and it is dangerous.
00:44:15.88\00:44:17.95
Don't want to
get that near your,
00:44:17.99\00:44:19.85
because that won't
be a vegetarian dish
00:44:19.89\00:44:21.52
anymore if you do.
00:44:21.56\00:44:23.02
So you're just
going to go like this.
00:44:23.06\00:44:25.63
And try to go by the end
to get smaller ones first.
00:44:25.66\00:44:28.30
So you want the size,
00:44:28.33\00:44:29.86
I rather than long
strips I want short strips.
00:44:29.90\00:44:31.63
All right.
00:44:31.67\00:44:33.00
And if she's going
to just julienne those
00:44:33.03\00:44:35.10
so that I have...
00:44:35.14\00:44:36.47
See how it does
little tiny strips.
00:44:36.50\00:44:38.41
It really is the
cool thing. It really is.
00:44:38.44\00:44:40.48
If you don't have one of
those, you can use a grader,
00:44:40.51\00:44:42.84
that works too, you know,
00:44:42.88\00:44:44.28
for, if you have
a convert grater.
00:44:44.31\00:44:45.65
All of the lime? All
the juice right in there.
00:44:45.68\00:44:48.58
And then I'll
put this over here.
00:44:48.62\00:44:51.09
So, Mom, you just stir that up.
00:44:51.12\00:44:55.32
And we're going to
just bring that to a simmer.
00:44:55.36\00:44:59.43
I don't think
she's got my fire on.
00:44:59.46\00:45:00.80
Oh.
00:45:00.83\00:45:02.16
That's, you
know, what that's help,
00:45:02.20\00:45:03.53
Mom to get your burner
going there, all right.
00:45:03.57\00:45:05.70
There it is,
how's that? All right.
00:45:05.73\00:45:07.07
Very good.
00:45:07.10\00:45:08.44
So now while she's doing that...
00:45:08.47\00:45:09.80
Word of warning, I
would not let your children,
00:45:09.84\00:45:12.11
your younger children do this
00:45:12.14\00:45:13.58
because if you...
00:45:13.61\00:45:14.94
No.
00:45:14.98\00:45:16.31
If you start doing this fast,
this will julienne your finger.
00:45:16.34\00:45:18.65
Yeah, it's not a good plan.
00:45:18.68\00:45:20.08
So I wouldn't do
that. Treat it with respect.
00:45:20.12\00:45:22.68
Just like you would to a
very sharp knife in your drawer,
00:45:22.72\00:45:24.92
you're gonna
treat it with respect.
00:45:24.95\00:45:26.29
Exactly.
00:45:26.32\00:45:27.66
Okay, so now I've got
my pea pods going on here
00:45:27.69\00:45:30.46
and we're going to
just cut them at an angle.
00:45:30.49\00:45:33.46
So you can see I've just
taken a bunch of them like this
00:45:33.50\00:45:37.43
and I'm just gonna cut
them at an angle like that.
00:45:37.47\00:45:40.14
And that's all there is to that.
00:45:44.07\00:45:46.88
So I'm just gonna take some more
00:45:46.91\00:45:48.24
and I just put them,
00:45:48.28\00:45:49.61
pile them all the
way up like this and...
00:45:49.64\00:45:53.78
And you want them at an angle.
00:45:53.82\00:45:55.95
And then I've got
another one right here.
00:45:55.98\00:45:57.99
So there's a lot of things
going on now, isn't there?
00:45:58.02\00:46:00.66
So, let's see how,
Linda, how's our tofu doing?
00:46:00.69\00:46:02.86
What do you think?
00:46:02.89\00:46:04.23
Is that ready to put
the other skillet on?
00:46:04.26\00:46:06.19
Not quite, but
let's see we're gonna,
00:46:06.23\00:46:10.50
we're gonna make that okay.
00:46:10.53\00:46:11.87
But normally I would make
it even a little bit darker.
00:46:11.90\00:46:15.30
And as you say, it
needs to be blackened.
00:46:15.34\00:46:16.81
Yeah, I normally blacken it
00:46:16.84\00:46:18.27
so it's a little
bit darker than that.
00:46:18.31\00:46:20.31
But that's okay.
00:46:20.34\00:46:21.68
In interest of time, Linda,
00:46:21.71\00:46:23.04
would you put
the other skillet out
00:46:23.08\00:46:24.68
and put that other skillet on.
00:46:24.71\00:46:28.05
And now we're going to do
00:46:28.08\00:46:29.55
where we toss all
the vegetables together
00:46:29.58\00:46:30.99
and make it all happen.
00:46:31.02\00:46:32.35
So, you don't need that actually
00:46:32.39\00:46:35.26
'cause there's
enough right in there.
00:46:35.29\00:46:36.62
Our precooked onions
for everybody that knows
00:46:36.66\00:46:38.99
the Micheff Sisters, you
know, we like our onions cooked.
00:46:39.03\00:46:42.03
And we're gonna put
the broccoli in there, Mom.
00:46:42.06\00:46:46.03
You know, I actually
went to someone's house
00:46:46.07\00:46:48.64
and they thought that we
just didn't like raw onions
00:46:48.67\00:46:52.27
and so they
actually blended them up
00:46:52.31\00:46:56.71
and hid the onions in the dish.
00:46:56.75\00:46:58.68
So that when I ate the
dish it was full of raw onions
00:46:58.71\00:47:01.85
and honestly raw
onions make me sick
00:47:01.88\00:47:05.12
and so it really
hurt, bothered my stomach.
00:47:05.15\00:47:07.56
So I was sick for
the rest of the day.
00:47:07.59\00:47:09.69
Yeah, they bother me
too. Yeah, raw onions.
00:47:09.72\00:47:12.13
Okay, that's good,
sis, that's a good amount.
00:47:12.16\00:47:14.53
Mom, excuse me let me just
00:47:14.56\00:47:15.90
throw that in
here pan right there
00:47:15.93\00:47:17.83
and that's a good
amount right there.
00:47:17.87\00:47:20.40
So toss that up,
00:47:20.44\00:47:21.77
you want that just to as
high heat as you can, sis.
00:47:21.80\00:47:25.21
It's on high.
00:47:25.24\00:47:26.57
And you want to, you
want it crunchy tender,
00:47:26.61\00:47:28.44
so it doesn't have to
cook very long at all.
00:47:28.48\00:47:31.01
And what you're going to do is,
00:47:31.05\00:47:33.21
is that on as
high as it will go?
00:47:33.25\00:47:34.72
It is.
00:47:34.75\00:47:36.08
Okay, so, what
we'll do is we will...
00:47:36.12\00:47:38.82
I maybe need to see
if it's crunchy tender,
00:47:38.85\00:47:41.06
it might be ready.
00:47:41.09\00:47:43.66
Let's see...
00:47:43.69\00:47:47.30
Yeah, it's crunchy.
00:47:47.33\00:47:49.30
But it's not
tender. It's not tender.
00:47:49.33\00:47:52.13
It's crunchy.
00:47:52.17\00:47:55.07
All right, so,
00:47:55.10\00:47:56.44
what we're going to do is just
00:47:56.47\00:47:57.81
as soon as that
gets crunchy tender.
00:47:57.84\00:47:59.31
Mom, how are
you doing over here?
00:47:59.34\00:48:00.68
Her sauce is
done. It's all done.
00:48:00.71\00:48:02.04
It looks wonderful.
00:48:02.08\00:48:03.58
All we're going to do in
just a couple more minutes
00:48:03.61\00:48:05.68
we would just add our,
00:48:05.71\00:48:07.52
these already
precooked rice noodles,
00:48:07.55\00:48:09.05
cook them according
to package directions.
00:48:09.08\00:48:11.12
We're gonna
throw that in that pan
00:48:11.15\00:48:13.12
with the vegetables.
00:48:13.15\00:48:14.49
Add the tofu and mix our
sauce and toss it together
00:48:14.52\00:48:18.06
and you're gonna
garnish with lime wedges
00:48:18.09\00:48:20.96
and some garnish with
some hard chopped peanuts.
00:48:21.00\00:48:23.97
Let's take a
look right over here
00:48:24.00\00:48:26.00
already one plated
up and ready to go.
00:48:26.03\00:48:30.54
That looks delicious.
00:48:30.57\00:48:32.07
And it's really
simple to make, isn't it?
00:48:32.11\00:48:35.24
Well, my sisters and
I have six cookbooks out
00:48:35.28\00:48:38.85
and right now, Mom,
00:48:38.88\00:48:40.62
we want to show them
00:48:40.65\00:48:41.98
how they can
get all six of them.
00:48:42.02\00:48:43.35
Well, you better
because they are good...
00:48:43.39\00:48:44.72
Good cookbooks? Oh, yes.
