Enchiladas Divorciadas - Early Access

I am still trying to cut together an extended version of our dinner conversation, plus a compilation of everything we ate on the honeymoon. Stay tuned for that stuff. For now, this is just an early access video :)

The most important enchilada-related note I can give you is to only buy pre-made sauce with water and dried chiles as the top ingredients. I tried some expensive fancy brands ju...

On Giving vs Taking

I had to get this out of my noggin and into your eyeballs

Cranberry Tart Super Early Access

• This isn't going live until December 1st!
• You might think "that glass of vodka at the end is actually just water" but in fact, the glass is full of extremely salty water. I didn't know that the gallon of distilled water that Bree keeps in the pantry is actually salt water that she uses for cleaning her pierced ear. I did one big gulp on cam, realized my error, took one more mouth...

Please participate in my poll :)

Something weird about Patreon is that sometimes it feels hard to provide rewards that feel appropriately valuable. Is chatting with a food doofus in a Discord channel really worth the same amount of money as a monthly Netflix subscription? Maybe not, so I try to sweeten the deal with stickers, fun activities, and helpful responses.

If you have ten free seconds, please participate in this ...

Garden Early Access

• This is my first patreon post from a mobile device. I am in Mexico right now so please excuse any poor grammar, bad spelling, or incorrect punctuation.
• The purple sweet potato vine is purely decorative, but I did show some B roll of a garnet yam being unearthed. Sweet potatoes take a ton of time and a lot of space to grow, but I really like having them in the garden all summer, ju...

Thanksgiving Early Access

• This video hasn't been approved by the brand that bought an ad at the end, so I may need  to re-upload it if they request any changes. If you leave a comment on the video, it will be held for review until the video's approved. Still, I wanted to get this out as soon as possible since it's already November! Get those fridges cleaned and menus planned.
• One thing that I didn't ...

Life on the Loop

I need to find out whether or not I'm a luddite shut-in

A Short About Pomegranates

This is an early access short I shot yesterday. Pomegranates grow like crazy out here in Arizona, so it's not uncommon to get a big sock of them from a friend in November. This video was partially inspired by Paris Hilton, who was recently opening a pom on cam like an absolute menace here: https://youtu.be/daC-Td-u87Y?t=222<...

DJ Stream VOD

I was able to download this real quick before it got muted by Twitch, so if you're in the mood for a 2-hour DJ stream in which I talk to chat very minimally, here u go :)

Bone Marrow Early Access & Notes

• I got my bones from a local butcher shop, and surprisingly, the owners do not eat bone marrow! They said "you eat these??" and when I explained how I cook them, they wrote down my Youtube channel's name so they could watch this video. I'm excited for them to try marrow. It's crazy to me that the owners of a butcher shop have not tried it!
• I glossed over this by saying how bone-so...

Can someone tell me whether or not it's even valuable to get early access to a sixty-second video

• Try not to post a "vegan dough" recipe online if it contains eggs.
• Instead of blaming a whole cuisine by whining about how "Indian Food is Too Complicated", consider the fact that maybe you're just bad at it.

Lessons from a Serial Complainer

Consider your favorite type of media or art. What is it? Music? Movies? Drawings of Car-Dragon love on DeviantArt? Now consider your least favorite artist or brand or stakeholder in that industry. Let's say you love movies but you don't care for Nic Cage. Imagine leaving the theater and posting a tweet that says "boy howdy, that nic cage sure does stink in this flick", and then several years la...

Momentum Early Access and Notes

In the most recent season of Top Chef, someone has issues with getting their chicken wings fully cooked, since the wind was preventing the temperature of the oil from getting hot enough. I thought, "I wonder if that makes sense to a beginner cook", and the video before you is the result of fiddling with that idea. I don't have any real notes to share about this one, since it's so short and simp...

Kitchen Tool Power Rankings

This is my first attempt at paying an editor to cut a 2 hour livestream down into a couple of minutes. 

Is this type of bonus video content of any value, or is it too platform-specific to Twitch? Let me know if it's worth trying some more*!

*I find it to be a little disjointed and meme-y, but I'm also a negative nancy

This is a stream recap that I edited down from 2 hours to 7 minutes :)

Rösti Nötes

• I ate several pounds of salty beefy brisket during Labor Day weekend, and I shot this the day after. It's wild to see how slopdog I look just from eating half a cow. My puffy cheeks are casting a whole new shadow and it looks like someone rubbed tallow over every inch of my skin.
• A rösti is pretty much just a hash brown, so I expect this distinction to spark some discussion. I w...

WARNING: YOU CAN'T UNSEE THIS

At the end of a podcast I was listening to today, the tape runs for a a few minutes after all the participants think that recording has stopped. During this short period, I am listening more intently than I have been over the past hour. A conversation that was accidentally recorded and then accidentally left in the edit was, for the moment, available to the public. It was a sort of voyeurism th...

• Keep a notebook and pen at your desk at all times. If you ever head into a meeting, grab both. Even if you think you can remember all the important details (you can't), people love to see someone take notes hearing what they have to say.  It's a real ego-inflator and trust-builder.

Underrated Tools - Early Access & Notes

• If you watch this video and think "oh man I should buy a milk frother on Amazon", just know that they're all trash. The one I'm using here is the Mud Whip and it's quite good. I'll update the final video with links to buy stuff, and I'm even going to make a Short all about why the mud whip is good.

A Reaction to that Veritaseum ClickBait Video

i can't say i've ever seen something that made me want to shoot a REACTION video but here we are.

also i've been producing way more bonus content in an effort to make your paid  subscription worth the cash, but this one does have me itching to take public somehow, like maybe sharing the unlisted link somewhere or setting it to public for one day idk maybe this whole thing ...

ETP Galettes - Early Access and Notes

• I don't think I'll take another finance-based sponsor for a LONG time. This ad was a huge pain, and they nitpicked every single link and every single word. I actually used to use Acorns in college before I became a nerd about finance, so this isn't a fault of the product, but DAMN this was tough.

What Could Go Wrong

One of my first purchases on my own was for a product called The Perfect Pancake, an As Seen on TV product that failed to produce a pancake in my family's house even once. The gap between the two surfaces was wide enough to allow the batter and fat to pour out while flipping the device, provided...

here are some things i have been thinking about, plus a portion of a conversation I had with the co-CEO of Karat

Shaved Ice Early Access + Notes

• The three flavors I used in the first shave ice are pineapple, orange, and cherry Kool Aid. That combo hits every time and 75% of the time it's the combo I'm rolling with.
• You'd think shaved milk on its own would be plenty sweet and creamy, but the cold really dials it down, which is why you'll see me adding chocolate sauce and sweetcon milk on top.
• The ice shaver used t...
