00:03:27.900 You know something that's too bad that's been kind of tragically ruined?

00:03:30.800 Dinosaurs.

00:03:31.740 Yeah, let's talk about them.

00:03:33.140 Inherently interesting, fascinating part of history and kind of an unbelievable.

00:03:38.360 I'm loving this, where this is going, because it's already stimulating ideas for me. Go, go, go.

00:03:42.280 Well, because they've been destroyed.

00:03:45.100 Let me guess, by children?

00:03:46.440 By the ironic consumption of them.

00:03:48.880 Cartoon illustrations of dinosaurs.

00:03:51.560 I'm obsessed with reading.

00:03:53.700 You stopped there.

00:03:54.680 Vogue weddings.

00:03:55.900 Yeah.

00:03:56.120 What?

00:03:56.780 I'm obsessed with reading.

00:03:58.260 I'm obsessed with reading.

00:03:59.840 Vogue weddings.

00:04:00.880 Vogue weddings, article stuff. No, here I am going like, oh, this is too, what if the person finds out? And then it's like I'm being a cunt.

00:04:07.380 But basically, somebody was talking about a husband who loved dinosaurs. 0.99

00:04:13.900 This was a 40-year-old man.

00:04:15.740 And it's like, he loves dinosaurs.

00:04:17.380 I was like, well, no, he doesn't.

00:04:18.800 Right.

00:04:18.960 He loves the image of a – like, he loves a two-dimensional cartoon of a dinosaur.

00:04:23.400 Sorry for that angle again.

00:04:24.320 No, I would argue he loves nothing.

00:04:25.860 Right.

00:04:26.480 You love dinosaurs?

00:04:28.040 Meaning the absence of –

00:04:30.080 My husband loves dinosaurs, not my husband has a real interest in them.

00:04:33.480 Mike loves dinosaurs.

00:04:35.040 So we're going to have dinosaurs on the napkins. 1.00

00:04:37.380 at the thing you suck that guy's dick like god damn it's hard out here for the girls sometimes 1.00

00:04:45.420 because next thing you know next thing you know what you're next thing you know you're having to 1.00

00:04:51.500 look into the eye i mean what is oh sure no i just wondered what the you know no i'm not

00:04:57.580 articulating but i'm curious like now i want to know what if he is a paleontologist could it be

00:05:03.180 well of course it was not that and by the way a paleontologist would never demand a dinosaur in

00:05:07.160 his napkin unless no no this was not that this was not that trust me it is interesting the way

00:05:13.640 that dinosaurs seem to captivate children it's cool like that's interesting right no that's

00:05:19.980 almost like a memory it's almost like they're so recently they're of the earth right in this way

00:05:25.140 they're still open enough yeah they're like unstuck in time enough to remember and then you 0.93

00:05:32.400 know and then no one gives a shit i mean discovery of those bones let's just take a second with that 0.78

00:05:38.120 do we know when did it happen don't know right but listen to listen to this hey siri 0.71

00:05:44.360 who discovered the first dinosaur bone sorry something's gone wrong please try again 1.00

00:05:51.860 you fucking useless bitch you take everything except and when i need you you provide nothing 0.99

00:05:59.500 I was imagining the race, the paleontology race of, because probably people were discovering them around the same time, right? 1.00

00:06:05.480 It's like.

00:06:06.100 Right, like drilling, drills.

00:06:07.800 And then the war of like, I was first. No, I was first.

00:06:10.240 Yeah.

00:06:11.220 Interesting.

00:06:12.040 Human drama.

00:06:13.060 Trying to get your name on a dinosaur.

00:06:21.340 With summer in full swing, I feel that familiar urge to refresh my closet.

00:06:25.980 But I'm trying not to waste money on pieces I'll only wear once, or for just one season.

00:06:32.320 That's where Quince comes in.

00:06:34.340 Their clothes are timeless, feel luxurious, look elevated, and the quality is way beyond what you'd expect for the price.

00:06:42.400 It's the kind of wardrobe upgrade that just clicks.

00:06:46.000 Think 100% European linen tops, starting at $30.

00:06:50.640 Washable silk dresses and skirts, and soft cotton sweaters.

00:06:55.240 Versatile, warm-weather pieces you'll reach for again and again.

00:06:59.420 The best part? Everything with Quince is half the cost of similar brands.

00:07:04.300 By working directly with top artisans and cutting out the middleman, Quince gives you luxury without the markup.

00:07:11.420 And Quince only works with factories that use safe, ethical, and responsible manufacturing practices and premium fabrics and finishes.

00:07:18.700 I've been ordering from Quince for a long time, and yeah, I think you should too.

00:07:23.240 We were very excited when Quince became a sponsor. Jacqueline's been using Quince for a long time, and she got me into it. The washable silk skirt I was wearing all over Europe this summer, and I just bought a light, gauzy throw for those non-so-chilly nights.

00:07:41.120 For me, the washable silk is really where it's at because if I can't wash it, it's going to get worn once and that's it. Everything goes in the washer. That's all I'm saying. Finally, I can look like a freaking woman when I go out to dinner. Summer dream. There you are. The silks. You, Kate?

00:07:59.380 I really enjoy the throw I got. It's like a parachute, which is much more expensive, gauzy, linen throw for my bed in a beautiful terracotta color.

00:08:10.320 Maybe it's finally time for me to introduce some linen.

00:08:12.740 Linen in the wardrobe.

00:08:14.520 I'll be heading over to quince.com specifically to look at that.

00:08:18.280 But for me, yeah, it's really been about the washable silks.

00:09:11.600 We got two cease and desists from McDonald's.

00:09:14.240 It was unbelievable.

00:09:15.260 I kind of want to find the email.

00:09:16.560 Yeah.

00:09:16.960 Because I referenced a video.

00:09:18.040 And by the way, here they come.

00:09:19.520 I referenced an email.

00:09:21.180 People are still eating it.

00:09:22.360 Relax.

00:09:23.100 Yeah, and everyone's fine.

00:09:24.180 Yeah.

00:09:24.680 Most people are, you know, I would probably eat it.

00:09:28.820 Like, well, it's hard to say.

00:09:30.920 I have changed.

00:09:32.080 But I would eat it.

00:09:32.940 But McDonald's never was there.

00:09:34.580 I did Taco Bell.

00:09:35.540 I did Jack in the Box.

00:09:36.580 I'm not kidding.

00:09:37.400 I don't think I've ever had a McDonald's burger.

00:09:39.060 I think it's like Los Angeles kind of doesn't get into you people in the same way.

00:09:43.820 I just think, you know, I think your upbringing, there's still kind of an East Coast road trip

00:09:48.400 McDonald's thing that, you know, holds. 0.98

00:09:51.160 But I was like in my early 20s, like being like, fuck it, I'm going to McDonald's. 0.98

00:09:55.960 Like there were some great times going and being like, what would I get? 0.99

00:09:59.920 I mean, what would I get there that was like the fucking best? 0.92

00:10:02.940 mcchicken unreal i was never that into the big mac i preferred the whopper at burger king 0.97

00:10:30.920 in new york but like like yeah of course like i've never eaten that or something right and like

00:10:35.500 her father was like her father was like oh yeah like a mac biggie or something like he didn't

00:10:41.280 even know the word big mac yeah yeah yeah yeah that being said i think i've referenced my dad

00:10:47.300 like all through my childhood and young adulthood and i guess adulthood had subway like three times

00:10:53.480 a week oh yeah we've talked about like well my dad had it every day for like several years

00:10:58.000 because he works from home and then he would want to like get out of the office so off he'd go to

00:11:03.020 subway and then yeah like it was very special and i still just think i yeah i mean and i've had a lot

00:11:11.560 of subway in my life and guess what it's delicious me too sweetheart when they came

00:11:17.900 out with it that like the subway bread it's fresh baked every day in the store it's like

00:11:24.040 It can't be a shoe.

00:11:25.300 It can't be.

00:11:27.500 It's like part shoe.

00:11:29.000 They're like, but Stuart Weissman's shoe.

00:11:31.640 It's like same thing in Subway Bread is what is in a shoe.

00:11:36.460 That would be a good way to come back to it.

00:11:38.420 They're like the same leather Gucci uses.

00:11:40.660 Yeah, yeah, exactly.

00:11:41.660 That would be hysterical.

00:11:43.080 Yeah, exactly.

00:11:44.100 Italian leather.

00:11:44.400 I still believe.

00:11:45.200 I bet the bread's solid.

00:11:46.780 I bet the bread's – I mean, if anything's questionable.

00:11:49.380 Italian leather.

00:11:50.300 You know, but like getting the works.

00:11:54.040 I'd get the works. I mean, oh God, I could go for it all right now.

00:11:58.860 Oh yeah. Do you remember my, my legal battle? Remember my back and forth with notes?

00:12:03.300 Oh yes. Yes. And they never came and then they came.

00:12:06.620 And apostrophe O-A-T-S, the no oats, notes packets that I bought on a whim,

00:12:11.960 Instagram advertising. And then they, they months passed, they never came. Then they came

00:12:15.860 and I've had a couple, but my partner was dying for breakfast yesterday. I was like,

00:12:20.660 what the fuck is this and i was like oh notes like i don't know and then they made the notes 0.99

00:12:24.860 they were miserable like they were like it's the thing when like when you're hungry 0.99

00:12:29.880 but there's but you just make something because you're like well i have to eat

00:12:33.440 but then there's no joy and they and it was kind of like a chocolate soup like it was

00:12:38.100 very very runny what is it chia let me guess chia oat free oats

00:12:42.680 it's like a seed it's like a hemp seed hemp a lot of hemp i have a i've talked about on the

00:12:51.700 pod before about greek yogurt and oh my addiction to the texture and flavor of fahe oh right but

00:12:58.500 it's not organic and i'm like i need to do the research to go because a lot of in my opinion a 0.85

00:13:03.840 lot of organic grass-fed you know fancy yogurt is fucking disgusting to me it tastes like i'm 0.97

00:13:10.540 on all fours with an udder in my mouth, like lapping it up. Like it's just something about 0.99

00:13:15.660 it. I just, and I know it's like the higher quality. And so the faille, so I need to look

00:13:20.120 into it, go, I need third-party testing. Like, yeah, I loved it. It's not like I eat it every

00:13:24.300 single day, but like how it's so, and the texture, why is it so good? Is it because it's-

00:13:28.840 I have to look into it. I mean, cause I don't know that I've had-

00:13:30.900 Is that why, right? Because it's bad?

00:13:33.440 I don't know. It's certainly strained, right? It's certainly-

00:13:36.400 It's thick. I like it's thick. You put it in the bowl, you could turn the bowl upside down and

00:13:39.900 They're still there.

00:13:40.660 I know how thick it is.

00:13:41.680 I used to eat the full-size thing of it.

00:13:44.120 Just like, oh, God.

00:13:46.280 And then those little ones that had the little cherry half, you flip that over.

00:13:50.680 That's a treat.

00:13:52.200 That is tasty.

00:13:54.600 That's high school.

00:13:56.120 A little honey, a little honey pocket.

00:13:57.920 I have to get serious about my at-home matcha situation because I'm getting so addicted to the kettle matcha.

00:14:03.380 Right.

00:14:04.400 Was that $12 a day?

00:14:06.060 No, the cheapest one is $6.

00:14:09.560 Maybe they have like $6.75, $7.75, $8.75 for like the highest grade matcha.

00:14:15.120 And then with 20% tip.

00:14:16.940 And I have had matcha at home.

00:14:19.820 Yeah.

00:14:20.340 Oh, yeah.

00:14:20.760 $15.

00:14:21.460 Yeah.

00:14:22.340 But I'm having a love affair with soy milk in my coffee.

00:14:26.620 Soy milk is good for you.

00:14:30.300 And listen, unsweetened soy milk, we're talking about nine grams of protein in a cup.

00:14:33.940 I mean, I like to just say these things boldly.

00:14:36.000 You know, we're not doctors.

00:14:37.320 We're not experts.

00:14:38.140 In fact, we're barely alkaline, okay?

00:14:40.720 However.

00:14:41.580 Non-GMO.

00:14:42.580 However.

00:14:43.040 Yeah.

00:14:44.260 Yeah, like, you know, like the dairy industry, like they came for soy.

00:14:49.140 And it's like actually.

00:14:50.120 No, the war against soy.

00:14:51.480 The war against soy.

00:14:52.220 Everything everyone thinks it does.

00:14:53.220 It doesn't get off or shut off.

00:14:54.640 It's exhausting.

00:14:55.560 I love it.

00:14:56.280 Out there.

00:14:57.140 I love.

00:14:57.540 Well, I eat a lot.

00:14:58.520 We eat a lot of tofu in our house.

00:15:00.540 We eat a lot of tofu.

00:15:01.280 Mm-mm-mm.

00:15:02.960 Oh, I had some kind of, you know, textured chicken weirdness that came in a Dow Palette vegan delivery the other night.

00:15:13.080 Talk about moaning.

00:15:14.500 It was, it was unreal.

00:15:18.740 I mean, when the vegan stuff is good, you just want to get on your knees and scream.

00:15:26.520 I mean, it's just like, you can't even believe it.

00:15:29.380 You're like, so everything in this bag is for me? 0.57

00:15:31.180 you're like everything's good to go and when they don't overly rely on cashew god damn it was like

00:15:38.780 i got a macro bowl it's like it was like i'm in brooklyn suen does not deliver here okay i'd pay 0.52

00:15:44.300 through the nose for a suen delivery so i can't believe that i know i can't believe there's only

00:15:49.480 one suen location and where is suen west coast i guess i just got to make suen at home well yeah

00:15:56.940 Yeah, yeah. But you don't get the feeling of the 70s anywhere but there. It's so specific.

00:16:03.920 I know.

00:16:04.740 The azuki bean. But this Dow Palate place had a macro plate. I ordered that. I saw carrot ginger. I mean, they're doing some fun, okay? I mean, maybe not. But then they had all sorts of other things.

00:16:18.060 vegetable curry. I mean, it was, the rice was, you know, as purple as you can dream. Purples and

00:16:25.560 browns, forbidden, et cetera. Wow. God, ordering that, watching some TV. Unbelievable. I had a

00:16:33.440 transformative experience yesterday on the couch where, imagine this, late afternoon, summer,

00:16:38.300 beautiful day in Los Angeles. I go, what if you read? Imagine that. What if you go on the couch

00:16:43.880 right now and read. I read a thin book. This is the glory of a thin book. I read the book cover

00:16:53.160 to cover. It was 50 pages. I read Simple Passion, the French Annie, whatever. Read it, put it on my

00:17:03.160 chest, fell asleep with the bird song, actual bird song, and summer breeze through the window,

00:17:09.520 completely asleep for the nap that comes from reading 20 minutes i know late i know now because

00:17:15.420 of my aura ring oh so proud of you by the way it gets better all right i woke up euphoria looking

00:17:22.880 around this is my life my phone in the other room i'm free i take out my journal journaled for not

00:17:31.820 long about four pages in there five pages that's not nothing i remember right i remember writing

00:17:36.420 the sentence, is this the best day of my life? Because of the fact that I read and fell asleep.

00:17:41.360 Like taking the nap, I just couldn't believe it. I've been staying in a lot of other people's

00:17:45.680 homes, Airbnbs, whatever. And so I've got this very specific pleasure of letting the books

00:17:50.060 appear in your life where you pluck something off the shelf. You know what I mean? You go,

00:17:54.840 what's that? Yeah. Yeah. You didn't purchase it. You didn't choose it. It's there in the home.

00:17:59.220 You're pulling from a library. It's a great feeling. It's a very different feeling. It's

00:18:04.820 like just dip it I don't know and then like I'm sort of into leaving the book I mean obviously I

00:18:10.340 don't take it from the home but like you know if it's someone I know I'm not like can I borrow

00:18:15.120 this I I'm not sure if this is true maybe I'm just thinking of the limitation of the Airbnb

00:18:19.260 where you can't take it but there's something about knowing that you have to leave the book

00:18:24.540 there it's like almost like well shall shall I return here one day yeah yeah I'll continue

00:18:30.840 a book attached to a home beautiful interesting there's still a book that i loaned to someone

00:18:36.940 this is by almost i want to say 15 years ago a friend can i borrow it and i literally said no

00:18:42.180 because it's kind of a special book hardcover kind of rare art book i go uh she makes a stink

00:18:48.080 oh come on never saw it again did you ever think to ask for it back i'm not saying that with

00:18:54.640 sarcasm 15 i think i brought oh god that's a really good question i'm not sure i'm like what

00:18:59.660 am I going to do? Ask now? Sure. Cancel dinner. I think it's funny. You know what I mean? The last

00:19:02.940 time I was going to see her, dinner. I'm going out of town now. I can't get dinner. Then I text,

00:19:06.780 hey, I'm back in town. Can I get that book from 15 years ago? Yes. Why not? Yeah, you're right.

00:19:11.200 Are you afraid you're going to be roped into a dinner? You're going to be roped into plans or

00:19:14.820 a conversation? No. In fact, I actually would like to see her. Because I have an idea. What?

00:19:19.660 Self-addressed envelope sent to her home. Okay. That's funny. She gets that in the mail.

00:19:26.200 little card insert book here prepaid envelope that's what i'm looking for now i know what

00:19:31.040 you're thinking i don't want to pay but it's a way it's hostile for you to pay and that's that's

00:19:35.980 what you're looking to do you're looking for hostility right right that's good right but

00:19:39.960 it's also convenience you know it's a cruelty somehow i've ended up with my entire collection

00:19:44.500 of makeup brushes in my bag and no makeup i've been carrying them around wow the full eye ilia

00:19:50.840 that's the ilia three in one brush yeah dreamer my mom the other day texted my mom it's really

00:19:55.280 sweet every now and then will text me thank you for ilia that's cool because she loves the ilia

00:19:58.800 skin serum which was my go-to every day of course for years the one that you thought had a traditional

00:20:03.780 cosmetic smell and me and your friend thought smelled like something horse related yeah some

00:20:09.900 people i guess think there's a smell i do not i feel like i have a lot to say but there's something

00:20:16.180 this location right now sitting in this room is like my brain's not active let me let me just

00:20:20.760 poke around. Because where does my brain actually live? It lives on my computer. Let's see what I

00:20:26.440 got. Because when I'm alone with my computer, my brain is flying. Do you understand? It's a whole

00:20:32.440 life. I told you I got a new browser. No, what does that mean? You heard me. What you got?

00:20:37.580 You know, like Chrome, Safari, et cetera. Is it like no tracking or whatever? It's a security thing?

00:20:43.040 It was a hag. Or maybe it was a sub-sex subscriber. Oops. They take security very 1.00

00:20:49.080 seriously doesn't sound good enough i know but but i haven't i mean they probably it might be

00:20:54.460 their whole thing it just wasn't what i was there for but someone recommended it and the new lease

00:21:00.380 on life i feel having just a slightly different visual setup is wild yeah when those little

00:21:07.300 things change the neuroplasticity goes through the roof arc browser i'm pretty pretty pumped

00:21:13.660 about that let's see what else i got going so this 30-day miracle thing is happening right now

00:21:18.500 with um mature it's like a ritual program you can it's like intention thought etc i was gonna

00:21:26.380 give a list of 13 laws of good luck and provide one of them okay good okay okay great so like for

00:21:33.820 example in this article called the 13 laws of good luck people should read it mature it's a

00:21:39.720 sub stack whatever he goes into it deeply but here's the list i'm gonna give you one see if

00:21:44.100 does anything for you all right you ready luck is learnable okay 13 i was asking yeah no i thought

00:21:51.540 you were gonna say because like it's an unlucky number or something luck is learnable like give

00:21:56.320 me more of them give me more of the rules lucky people are decisive do you think so totally

00:22:02.560 i mean i panicked when i saw that

00:22:05.300 yeah i think definitely because fear is indecision

00:22:10.940 Mm-hmm. Give me more. Give me more. Give me them all.

00:22:14.160 Luck is learnable. Good chemistry is lucky. To be lucky, you must be noticed. Prepared minds win.

00:22:23.100 Sobriety is lucky. Persistence beats odds. This does not apply to gambling. Failure can be lucky.

00:22:31.080 No is not always final. Enthusiasm and pessimism form a fortuitous combination.

00:22:38.180 That's interesting.

00:22:39.840 Humiliating people brings bad luck.

00:22:42.660 Recognizing others improves luck.

00:22:45.600 You must help, quote, fate find you.

00:22:48.660 Lucky people are decisive.

00:22:50.400 So he goes into depth on these.

00:22:54.200 I like those.

00:22:55.340 Yeah, I'm trying to think which one.

00:22:56.660 There was one that I was like, oh, no.

00:22:59.980 I don't think it was lucky people are decisive.

00:23:02.820 I was like, yeah, do you consider yourself lucky?

00:23:05.900 Absolutely.

00:23:06.260 But I don't mean, like, blessed.

00:23:07.960 I mean, like, do you think you're, like, I don't know, walking around going, oh, yeah.

00:23:14.700 Because don't people, isn't that one of those things, like, oh, no, it's not.

00:23:18.240 It's I never win anything.

00:23:19.340 That's what people like to say.

00:23:20.800 You know what I'm talking about?

00:23:21.820 I never win anything.

00:23:22.720 Oh, yeah.

00:23:23.100 They win the teddy bear, the thing.

00:23:24.960 Raffle.

00:23:25.380 They win a raffle.

00:23:26.240 This never happens.

00:23:27.300 And it's like, that's because 99 out of 100 people don't win the raffle.

00:23:31.820 Right.

00:25:32.680 You're trying to tell me you throw rice in there that's not cooked, right? 0.99

00:25:35.840 It's like the most basic level Instapot shit. 0.99

00:25:37.760 Okay. 0.99

00:25:38.460 So if I have, I got, thinking about you, I got frozen butternut squash, frozen broccoli.

00:25:44.420 Yes.

00:25:45.720 So you're saying that I have to figure this out, but you're saying I can just throw it in.

00:25:49.620 Are you using broth?

00:25:50.560 Yeah, or bouillon paste.

00:25:52.280 Water?

00:25:52.840 And water.

00:25:53.560 Oh, yeah.

00:25:53.840 I've got the vegan bouillon.

00:25:55.400 Yep.

00:25:55.660 and then I, you know, depending on what you're going for,

00:26:00.040 I mean, you can throw canned tomatoes in there, potatoes.

00:26:03.620 I mean, you know, the easiest way is to just go wild.

00:26:08.040 Play.

00:26:09.040 Play.

00:26:09.720 If you have an expectation.

00:26:11.160 But Jacqueline, where do I go?

00:26:13.400 I just Google.

00:26:14.080 Like, I don't even know where to start.

00:26:15.160 I don't even know how to start.

00:26:16.360 Well, I will tell you.

00:26:17.680 Most non-issue of all time.

00:26:19.440 Yeah, just Google it.

00:26:20.380 Chris likes to separately actually make the rice, okay?

00:26:23.380 See, this is the kind of stuff that I need to know.

00:26:26.240 But I don't have that in me.

00:26:29.580 I like to just go for it.

00:26:31.900 I'm looking.

00:26:32.340 I don't have that in me tonight.

00:26:33.600 Throw it in there.

00:26:35.480 So I just throw it in.

00:26:37.260 I throw whatever in there.

00:26:38.620 If it says that cooking on high pressure, natural release, you know, that's like the standard, is for six minutes or something, we'll cook your rice.

00:26:48.440 Then I say, throw everything else in there.

00:26:53.380 you know do it for six minutes the rice will get cooked and so will everything else like

00:26:57.620 if the worry is the rice will fall apart or something and then i say if there's extra

00:27:01.560 liquid then it's a soup with rice in it i mean i might be which i love i might be a lunatic but

00:27:06.520 actually there's some there's some stew waiting for me right now i'm looking it was quietly put

00:29:04.440 Oh my God, it happened.

00:29:06.500 I think I could do this in the Instapot.

00:29:07.840 I'm going to tell you really quickly

00:29:08.660 because this person is doing this in a casserole pan, right?

00:29:11.800 Like you're seeing that, right?

00:29:12.680 That looks like Instapot culture.

00:29:14.680 Listen to this.

00:29:16.540 One cup rice, one cup butter beans,

00:29:19.640 some garlic, olives, tomatoes, spinach, artichoke hearts,

00:29:25.940 lemon, coconut milk, water.

00:29:27.400 Yes.

00:29:28.180 So couldn't I just throw that in the Instapot?

00:29:30.140 Yes.

00:29:30.940 And-

00:29:31.340 Oh my God, Jacqueline, are you serious?

00:29:32.740 If you want to be a little fancy, you probably don't.

00:29:35.280 I'm going to do it right now.

00:29:35.920 But you can turn on the Instant Pot first to saute mode.

00:29:40.660 Okay, cap off.

00:29:41.760 I mean, lid off.

00:29:42.600 You throw the garlic in there.

00:29:44.620 You let it saute a little bit.

00:29:46.240 No.

00:29:46.620 Okay?

00:29:47.440 Like, however you want.

00:29:48.500 And then, you know, if you're looking to release, you know, in the aromatics and the whatever,

00:29:54.780 and then throw the stuff in, close it up, and pressure cook.

00:29:57.480 That's just sort of a little extra in the water and everything.

00:30:01.720 Then throw the veggies and the rice in.

00:30:03.740 This is unbelievable.

00:30:05.300 Because here I am going, oh, should I just do a casserole in the oven?

00:30:08.000 Just mirror her exactly.

00:30:09.280 No, I have the Instant Pot.

00:30:10.340 You could also, I mean, you know, there's nothing but recipes specifically for the Instant Pot.

00:30:14.760 So you could write, I mean, write what you dream of plus the word Instant Pot recipe and it will come up.

00:30:21.540 And don't be afraid to throw something in there at the end like a potato or a squash resting on top.

00:30:28.160 Yeah, yeah, totally, totally.

00:30:31.180 Wow.

00:30:33.140 I'll just say this quickly.

00:30:35.740 What is it?

00:30:36.620 Yeah, here it is.

00:30:37.440 Okay, interesting.

00:30:38.560 Wow, okay.

00:30:40.000 What did you put in, though?

00:30:40.800 Well, just what you said.

00:30:42.140 Easily prepared rice.

00:30:43.500 Oh.

00:30:44.260 Hang on.

00:30:45.060 I said Instapot recipe rice veggies.

00:30:47.280 So broad.

00:30:48.160 Saute the onion, garlic, carrot, add the rice and broth.

00:30:50.900 Pressure cook for three minutes and then stir in the peas and corn.

00:30:53.500 Oh, right.

00:30:53.940 Some people stir in.

00:30:55.780 Well, it depends.

00:30:56.480 I mean, you can't go wrong.

00:30:57.720 But I'm saying like, okay, put in something you don't even think you could make in the Instant Pot or put in like, you know, like rice and veggies is like almost so broad that I feel like can Google even help you?
