00:01:00.060 Nurturing phantoms and courting the muse. 1.00

00:01:02.320 The hag divines when something must die. 1.00

00:01:04.660 Yes, that was Poogh. 0.96

00:01:05.780 But this is huge.

00:01:07.360 The ego loves to seek.

00:01:08.820 But never to find.

00:01:10.200 It was Berlant and Novak the whole time.

00:01:15.380 Well, something that I am getting into

00:01:18.960 or I'm in the mood for, and yes, it's seasonal.

00:01:20.920 first of all hello let's just say hello hello hello hello coming right in with a seasonally

00:01:25.940 appropriate fixation that i haven't had in years baking oh wow baking the way it comes for you in

00:01:33.180 winter and the way that in summer i start throwing things out going i'm never gonna use the spring

00:01:38.480 form pan i just bought a spring form pan for the first time it's arriving tomorrow that's so funny 0.99

00:01:44.480 I literally donated one mere days ago god damn it fuck me and then by the way I also bought a tart 0.98

00:01:51.560 pan I had it with a removable bottom I had one of those at my old place I think I truly in a fit of 0.99

00:01:57.780 rage of moving rage threw it away because I was like I used this once in New York and never again

00:02:01.680 and just bought another one stainless steel they've got lots of the non-stick I go I'm too

00:02:05.660 scared of non-stick can't do it because I'm planning on making well first of all and I for

00:02:10.380 the subscribers i will show photos i made an unbelievable it's an allison roman recipe of

00:02:15.760 course a double crust blueberry ginger pie astonishing and her pie crust is so you know

00:02:23.400 that's the one i made it i couldn't believe it i couldn't believe it either and i was texting you

00:02:27.380 because the sense of accomplishment and i go oh right you hear this right it's meditative

00:02:32.140 baking and i was listening to um let's just say a kabbalah podcast and the woman was like you know

00:02:38.580 when I'm overwhelmed, I just start baking.

00:02:40.240 And I was like, interesting.

00:02:41.880 You know, that was one of those things.

00:02:43.700 You always hear that for whatever reason.

00:02:45.420 But she's good.

00:02:45.840 Yeah, yeah.

00:02:46.920 Like when the world doesn't make sense,

00:02:48.740 I turn to the teaspoons and the tablespoons,

00:02:51.140 the precision of the baking.

00:02:53.700 You know, you put in a certain ingredient, you get it.

00:02:57.120 And I did it once in a state of extreme sort of agitation,

00:03:02.480 depression at my parents' house so many years ago.

00:03:06.280 And I was like, I was up late.

00:03:08.240 And I'm like, okay, and took what I had and started doing it.

00:03:12.980 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:03:14.700 I felt sort of satisfied.

00:03:16.780 I think, if I remember correctly, I went up to my mom and woke her up.

00:03:20.700 You can breed frustration, too.

00:03:22.580 To taste it.

00:03:25.500 Amazing.

00:03:26.000 I can't remember if I woke her up to taste it or I thought about it,

00:03:29.800 and so the image lives in my head, and then she tasted it the next day.

00:03:32.740 But she notably, like, to me, I couldn't believe that it turned out at all,

00:03:36.160 like, that a cake had formed.

00:03:38.240 Yeah.

00:03:39.260 Yeah.

00:03:39.860 And she tasted it and was like, clearly not impressed.

00:03:44.680 Okay.

00:03:44.900 Like, and she's not some cake baker. 1.00

00:03:46.780 Right. 1.00

00:03:47.100 Yeah.

00:03:47.740 But she was like, I don't know if she came right out and said it, but it was like essentially

00:03:52.680 that it was really dense.

00:03:56.520 And, you know, she wasn't wrong.

00:03:58.920 I was just sort of taking it for what it was.

00:04:00.920 And I think she was like, you know, I just like really love like a, just a classic yellow

00:04:04.180 cake, you know, kind of vibe.

00:04:06.200 And so that was my like dense white cake.

00:04:09.120 I've never made a cake cake.

00:04:10.980 I've never made like a double layer, like birthday cake.

00:04:14.120 I've never done that.

00:04:15.180 The pie though, I go, this could be huge for me, pies.

00:04:18.280 And then I saw a new life.

00:04:20.060 Pie I could get into.

00:04:21.700 I make pie.

00:04:22.480 I make pie.

00:04:23.120 Because I love pie.

00:04:24.220 And as soon as I made that pie, I wanted to make it immediately again.

00:04:27.300 And I go, oh, the technique for the dough.

00:04:29.820 And then I'm going to be making a tart.

00:04:33.660 I don't want my partner to hear, good, good, good girl, for their birthday, good girl,

00:04:40.420 what fruit.

00:04:40.960 They love chocolate and raspberry, so I'm doing a chocolate.

00:04:45.260 It's also an Alison Roman recipe.

00:04:47.200 What a delicious combination am I right?

00:04:49.400 A chocolate tahini tart.

00:04:51.920 No.

00:04:52.360 You can have sesame seeds, right?

00:04:53.900 Yeah.

00:04:54.260 No, my nose was excitement.

00:04:56.120 Oh, yeah, I knew that.

00:04:56.960 I got scared for a second.

00:04:58.180 And then I'm actually, I'm going off course, and I'm adding raspberries on top.

00:05:02.560 Because how could that not be good?

00:05:03.900 It can't go wrong.

00:05:05.180 Right.

00:05:05.460 You go off course and it's your own special.

00:05:07.340 Oh, I know.

00:05:07.780 Going off course.

00:05:08.640 So I'm going to be doing that.

00:05:10.800 And yeah, just baking. 0.98

00:05:11.900 I've just been in a goddamn- 0.99

00:05:14.360 It's like the capers, no? 0.99

00:05:15.880 Cooking.

00:05:16.360 The capers.

00:05:17.280 The capers were off course, right?

00:05:18.700 That was off course.

00:05:19.480 That was off course.

00:05:20.540 I cooked for Jacqueline.

00:05:21.820 Because then you go, it's based on an Alison Roman, but I threw in the fried capers just

00:05:26.340 because it's a little something I love to do.

00:05:27.700 Well, what I did was that, because they were salt-packed capers, which I've always been

00:05:31.400 terrified of.

00:05:32.020 I go, what?

00:05:32.560 And the woman—

00:05:33.520 And I still am unclear on how that arises.

00:05:35.460 Is it in a jar?

00:05:36.620 Yeah, it's in a jar with salt, so no liquid.

00:05:39.040 Shout out to McCall's.

00:05:39.900 Shout out to Patrick at McCall's.

00:05:41.320 I want to take a minute with this, with the community.

00:05:43.520 McCall's, for those of you unfamiliar, it's a specialty butcher food shop market in Atwater Village here in Los Angeles.

00:05:50.180 And I had developed a community experience with Patrick, the cheesemonger there.

00:05:53.960 I would go in, we'd chat, he'd bring me a slice of cheese.

00:05:55.980 It was heaven, okay?

00:05:57.220 This was amazing.

00:05:58.160 And then I'm in there, New Year's Eve day.

00:06:00.500 I'm looking at produce.

00:06:01.300 I feel a tap

00:06:02.340 I turn around

00:06:03.420 It's Patrick

00:06:03.840 He goes

00:06:04.240 Today's my last day

00:06:05.700 At McCall's

00:06:06.320 He hands me cheese

00:06:07.540 On a cracker

00:06:08.040 I go

00:06:08.260 Patrick no

00:06:08.920 I'm gonna miss you

00:06:09.600 Oh no

00:06:09.960 I've always loved

00:06:10.900 Talking to you

00:06:11.380 And he goes

00:06:11.800 I've always loved

00:06:12.640 Talking to you

00:06:13.300 And I have to say

00:06:13.820 I've always really

00:06:14.380 Appreciated your passion

00:06:15.240 For cheese

00:06:15.780 I mean

00:06:17.100 Do you not weep

00:06:18.340 At the threshold

00:06:19.340 And I just was like

00:06:21.380 And shout out

00:06:22.720 I believe he said

00:06:23.440 His Instagram

00:06:26.060 Thank God 1.00

00:06:26.700 So check him out

00:06:27.520 Patrick on Instagram

00:06:28.440 LA Cheesemonger

00:06:29.380 Folks 1.00

00:06:29.760 I've been off Instagram

00:06:30.440 For weeks 1.00

00:06:30.880 trying to heal my brain it's a whole separate episode a monger is obviously the guy managing

00:06:36.140 and selling them yet i feel like people always use monger to mean like hound for like fish monger

00:06:41.140 like oh i love cheese i'm a cheese monger or something right right right do you know what i

00:06:44.460 mean he's a cheese monger and i had what's funny is that i had met him like at a restaurant he was

00:06:51.500 talking about cheese he was like a server at restaurant talking about cheese boards and then

00:06:55.080 it was like eight months later or something he's at mccall's and i go i know you and he goes i used

00:06:58.820 do the cheese you know anyway point is there's an incredible community point is kate's out there

00:07:03.540 in the market stalls as you say i'm out there with the merchants okay she's hunched a basket

00:07:08.760 in the crook of her elbow darting diagonals towards various items touching them going

00:07:14.060 going oh yeah and but but back to the at mccall's i go do you have capers i can't find them she

00:07:21.380 hands me she goes over here i go oh no salt packed i go i don't know i i started oh i don't know it

00:07:27.380 seems hard. She goes, all you have to do is rinse them. I go, really? I don't know. It seems hard.

00:07:31.780 She goes, it's really not. And I kind of laugh. She kind of laughs. She's like, it's really not.

00:07:34.400 I go, oh, okay. And then I look up online, salt packed. And I didn't realize this, but the whole

00:07:40.500 thing about the salt packed caper is that you rinse them, you vigorously dry them. So there's

00:07:46.160 no water on them. So then you can, in a hot oil pan, set them aflame, not aflame, but.

00:07:51.900 Right. And they're not steaming. They're not steaming. They're frying.

00:07:54.900 They're crisping up, and now I go, well, this is a revolution,

00:07:57.240 and this is me the rest of my life.

00:07:58.440 Now, is a caper in a regular jar, right?

00:08:00.980 So it's soaked through with liquid.

00:08:03.580 It's pure brine, yes.

00:08:06.560 So ostensibly, sure, you could, I guess, dry those off, 0.99

00:08:10.060 but that's going to be a fucking chore. 0.96

00:08:11.480 And also, the salt-packed ones have feathery skin. 0.98

00:08:15.360 They're bigger, and there's more skin coming off of them that's crisp.

00:08:19.980 Yes, something is going on that's very different.

00:08:22.860 I crisped a whole jar and threw them on top of, again, this is an Alison Roman episode,

00:08:27.460 Alison Roman's secret ingredient pasta.

00:08:29.420 This is the second time I've made it, and Jacqueline agreed.

00:08:31.820 Second time I've enjoyed it.

00:08:33.200 Heaven.

00:08:33.720 And it was better.

00:08:35.740 And the little things that you do when you get used-

00:08:37.340 I again tried to do a bastardized version in the Instant Pot the next night.

00:08:41.400 You did try?

00:08:42.320 Pockery.

00:08:42.760 But you did try?

00:08:43.800 I did try.

00:08:44.280 I mean, a very bastardized version because it's essentially, what am I doing?

00:08:47.880 I'm doing onions.

00:08:48.960 I'm doing the tomatoes.

00:08:50.020 I'm doing, you know.

00:08:51.300 and then you know of course i go wait capers aren't in the original recipe oh my god holy 0.87

00:08:56.800 shit now i'm doing the caper you know but what else did i do i have to also say this is one 0.55

00:09:01.580 ingredient specialty ingredients at mccall's which again i love but i go sundry tomatoes 0.99

00:09:06.060 they have a jar of sundry tomatoes hold your breath 24 i go no a small jar no no no and again

00:09:13.200 because they're beautifully imported whatever you have such um restraint it's so interesting

00:09:18.960 You're restrained.

00:09:19.560 So I go, no, I'm not doing this.

00:09:21.080 And then I get in the $9.99 jar.

00:09:24.320 And by the way, they're fantastic.

00:09:26.080 Yeah.

00:09:26.900 So wait, jar, what are they in?

00:09:28.420 What are they in?

00:09:29.060 In oil.

00:09:29.520 Oil-packed, sun-dried tomatoes.

00:09:31.000 But $25, I go, don't.

00:09:33.020 Is that what's...

00:09:33.900 She doesn't say.

00:09:34.760 She just says sun-dried tomatoes of any kind or whatever.

00:09:37.140 Yeah.

00:09:37.360 She says tomatoes of any kind, pretty much.

00:09:39.700 And then sun-dried.

00:09:41.620 Yes.

00:09:42.300 Yeah.

00:09:42.680 No, no, I know.

00:09:43.320 It's both.

00:09:43.780 I just mean...

00:09:44.600 Because sometimes I get sun-dried in a bag.

00:09:47.900 In a bag?

00:09:48.800 oh not in oil i'm sorry i'm sorry yeah i think i i know i've only ever known them

00:09:54.640 oil packed in a jar really i've seen the bag but but then the oil from the jar it's good

00:10:00.300 i bet yeah and just to kind of harp on food a little bit longer you won't believe where i'm

00:10:05.760 going tonight and where i haven't been in ages i'll give you one guess gracias madre 0.99

00:10:10.140 another guess if the guess is if the guess is jar then fuck you okay i'm going with my mom 0.98

00:10:18.380 to jar yeah great why you mean because i'm not taking you yeah it's just being dramatic for the 0.99

00:10:35.980 way that cashew has been just excommunicated there except for in the cheese board and one 0.97

00:19:48.140 I mean, it just, I need to know.

00:19:50.480 It's interesting.

00:19:56.520 It is a new year and I have a new bed to bring in the new year.

00:20:01.420 I've been excited about this.

00:20:02.380 listeners know that I finally upgraded to a king-size bed, which is a huge deal. And what

00:20:07.960 sheets did I purchase? And guys, I'm not kidding you. I purchased out of pocket. I paid for these

00:20:13.520 myself. I bought king-size cozy earth sheets because I have been such a true fan of cozy

00:20:20.520 earth sheets. And listeners also know I love the pajamas. I'm sorry, but I'm going to keep saying

00:20:25.640 it. Paid out of pocket, bought an additional set of pajamas because I love them. These are soft.

00:20:31.980 they're cooling they're cozy the sheets and the pajamas all of it i love it and i got some

00:20:37.340 additional linen cozy or sheets i had never tried before i can't wait to try those notably today now

00:20:42.940 we've actually got some towels to talk about too here that they sent because i really pay attention

00:20:47.580 to this stuff okay they sent towels and the new baja collection which we're here to talk about i

00:20:52.380 did talk about it earlier today which i have too i'm so excited to try i'm holding them right now

00:20:57.700 and I show them off in product corner,

00:20:58.960 you can hear me moving my hand along.

00:21:02.280 These are a really nice print, I got to say.

00:21:05.800 And this is the first time I think they've got a full bedding set.

00:21:09.440 So yeah, it's the first collection, the Baja collection,

00:21:11.940 to have a complete matching set, matching sheets,

00:21:14.820 duvet cover, matching quilts and coverlets.

00:21:16.920 You can go the entire way.

00:21:19.260 And it's inspired, yes, by the serene colors

00:21:21.000 and the dramatic textures of the Baja California landscape.

00:21:24.460 Oh, I love that.

00:21:25.180 It brings a lively yet elegant blend of texture and pattern to your top of bed.

00:21:30.140 With its reversible design, premium fabric, and timeless colorways,

00:21:34.380 this is the perfect set to create your own resort-inspired haven at home.

00:21:39.240 Talk about taking the resort home with you.

00:21:41.640 And another reason I just love Cozy Earth and why I purchased tons of sheets for my new bed,

00:21:47.320 they have an 100-night sleep trial.

00:21:49.220 It's a risk-free purchase.

00:21:50.680 You can try them out.

00:21:51.920 If you don't love them, you return them hassle-free.

00:21:54.540 And they have a 10-year warranty.

00:21:56.600 Because once you feel this level of comfort, you don't want it to last a decade.

00:22:00.080 That is something.

00:22:01.000 You know, I've reached out about my comforter because of an issue with a cleaner damaging it.

00:22:05.900 And it looks like the warranty is going to come through for me.

00:22:07.800 So, you know, they really care.

00:22:09.040 They really care.

00:29:36.980 awake for 18 or 24 hours sure is equivalent to having a blood alcohol content of 0.05 or 0.1

00:29:44.880 respectively so 18 hours leaves six sorry 24 six hours of sleep so if you're only getting six hours

00:29:52.760 of sleep it's like you have a 0.05 um six and enough and in u.s 0.08 is considered legally

00:45:06.740 this sick world let the staircase be one of the most incredible things however created however i

00:45:11.100 hear it's good however it it it feels to me like a a worthy accompaniment you know a journey in

00:45:18.120 again to to consider the the same things we consider to dramatize moments that and colin

00:45:27.700 firth i think so far i mean it's kind of a genius performance because it's like it's evocative of

00:45:36.600 the guy i forgot that it was first yeah yeah that's that's good casting that's inspired

00:45:41.400 casting folks yeah because it's not like he looks like him tony collette right it's not like they

00:45:47.340 didn't try to go body first you know face first i love when they don't go body i love when they do

00:45:52.780 so cool when it's like we're actors you know we're telling a story play the role so it's um

00:45:59.620 you know and it involves the documentary guys or characters oh okay which at first sounds cheese

00:46:05.980 but it's not you see these documentary filmmakers like discussing their next project together and

00:46:10.840 like analyzing it and going like by the way you're selling it you're selling this to me
