01:38.63
Nandi K
Ew. And I'm Nandi K. I hate dry mac and cheese. Yeah.

01:43.92
Vance 😈
it It's offensive to me and my ancestors.

01:46.58
Nandi K
Yeah. yeah

01:48.10
Vance 😈
um I think if you can't, I mean, we're already getting into the topic, but like if you can't make mac and cheese, simply don't.

01:56.27
Nandi K
You need to practice all year, which, you know, today's topic, yeah by yourself, just for you to eat.

01:58.53
Vance 😈
You need to practice alone.

02:01.88
Vance 😈
Yup.

02:02.86
Nandi K
And so to introduce our topic, today we're talking about uh thanks-taking, also known as Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving.

02:11.82

02:26.72
Nandi K
But yeah, if you can't make mac and cheese, here's the thing. Thanksgiving is in November. You have from December to November to be making mac and cheese at least once a month because it's not like mac and cheese is like something you only have on the holidays.

02:35.73
Vance 😈
Yup. Yup.

02:44.77
Nandi K
We have mac and cheese at least once a month in my house.

02:47.43
Vance 😈
Right. And I mean, I think at this point in humanity 2000, whatever year we in, you could go on TikTok and get a, like a Instagram, Facebook, wherever you like, you can get a competent recipe.

02:52.88
Nandi K
Sure.

03:00.36
Nandi K
Yeah.

03:00.57
Vance 😈
And if you're a decent cook, you can make that work, you know? So like when people still be doing the dry or like the Velveetss, you know, the Velveeta only people.

03:04.05
Nandi K
Yeah.

03:08.13
Nandi K
Whoa. Hold on. Well, Velveeta only.

03:09.73
Vance 😈

03:11.17
Nandi K
Not Velveeta only. Okay.

03:13.80
Vance 😈
Can't do it.

03:13.98
Nandi K
You said Velveeta only.

03:14.27
Vance 😈
But we know Velveeta. The melt on Velveeta is next level because...

03:38.65
Nandi K
Yeah, but *beep*, I'm from the Deep South. My bar is so high on mac and cheese.

03:42.40
Vance 😈
Mm-hmm.

03:45.13
Nandi K
The grandmothers, the black women who have made mac and cheese. Shaun. Shaun's mac and cheese...

03:55.40
Nandi K
incredible which we have like i said at least once a month and we always make too much so we can freeze it so we and we freeze it b like but you know pre-bake and then you freeze it and then you take it out and then you just bake it and then it's perfect it's so good but it has Velveeta you have to add a little bit of velveta it has velveta

03:59.33
Vance 😈
I need pictures.

04:02.20
Vance 😈
Mm hmm.

04:06.56
Vance 😈
Yeah. And then you go back it.

04:15.02
Vance 😈
Because of that melt.

04:17.43
Nandi K
You do like Velveeta and then you do like a sharp cheddar, a mozzarella, maybe a mild cheddar and like a Gouda or something. Something that has a little smoky and that also has a little melt.

04:29.12
Nandi K
Like Gouda is like a good melty cheese.

04:29.96
Vance 😈
Mm-hmm.

04:31.16
Nandi K
And then you do Velveeta with that.

04:34.27
Vance 😈
My secret is smoked cheddar on the top.

04:34.27
Nandi K
Yeah.

04:36.83
Vance 😈
And ah could put a shoe in there and they'd be like, nigga, what did you do to this?

04:37.40
Nandi K

04:51.00
Vance 😈
Period. Period.

04:55.36
Nandi K
Well, we're talking about food, so let's talk let's keep talking about like favorite meals. We talked about mac and cheese. Obviously a banger. Everyone wants it when it's made right.

05:03.57
Vance 😈
Mm-hmm.

05:06.92
Vance 😈
Yeah, so I did want to go... well I don't know. I feel like this is a leading question, but who cares? um Do you prefer the sides or the mains?

05:17.51
Nandi K
I think overall, probably the sides, because there's always more sides.

05:21.30
Vance 😈
Yes, that's the right answer.

05:24.19
Nandi K
Like, there's more sides than mains.

05:24.66
Vance 😈
Mm-hmm. More variety as well.

05:27.10
Nandi K
Yeah, there's just more sides, just sheer amount. Like, you don't need that many mains.

05:30.07
Vance 😈
Yeah.

05:31.26
Nandi K
There's like a ham, a turkey, chitlins, you know, a pork, you know.

05:33.82
Vance 😈
Mm-hmm. Mm.

05:36.67
Nandi K
There's a pork, a chicken. ah Sometimes people will do a beef. I know Shaun's mom sometimes does, like, brisket.

05:41.60
Vance 😈
A fish.

05:43.72
Nandi K
Yeah, yeah, Shaun's mom does brisket.

05:45.42
Vance 😈
A prime rib. That's a popular one.

05:47.40
Nandi K
Yeah, that is a popular one. Yeah. Yeah.

05:49.84
Vance 😈
I'm in the market for a new main protein. Because, you know, I mean, once again, what we're at in the in the age of cooking, I think you can get a good turkey at this point. Like, you know, like, I think you can figure it out. You're going brine it.

06:02.26
Vance 😈
You're going to stuff it with, you know, whatever. The the kitchen sink.

06:05.00
Nandi K
Yeah.

06:06.32
Vance 😈
going the thing. You could get a good turkey today. But I think turkey's overrated for all the energy that you got to put in it.

06:11.53
Nandi K
It's not that good. i agree. And it's so much like food, right? Turkey is not, don't really be hittin like that.

06:16.98
Vance 😈
Mm-hmm.

06:20.10
Nandi K
Like I do love a turkey sandwich. Don't get me wrong.

06:23.62
Vance 😈
The next day, absolutely a leftover turkey sandwich with the stuffing and the cranberries.

06:25.88
Nandi K
The little, the leftover sandwich. Yes, exactly. Shaun loves that. Shaun loves it. That's Shaun's favorite.

06:46.42
Nandi K
That's what I'm having for breakfast.

06:46.46
Vance 😈

06:48.42
Nandi K

07:06.26
Nandi K
You know, she doesn't get the shine that she deserves.

07:09.34
Vance 😈

Nandi K
When black people make, again, Nigrahs got a hold of it.

07:26.26
Vance 😈
Mm hmm.

07:30.37
Nandi K
And once Nigrahs got a hold of it, there ain't nothing you can do to make them turn them loose.

07:32.38
Vance 😈
Mm-hmm.

07:35.59
Vance 😈
It'd be getting that turn of blue sauce. It'd be having a little mini mushrooms in it. um the The onions.

08:07.56
Vance 😈
Y'all can keep them, but.

08:10.09
Nandi K
I never liked anyone's yams because in the South, a lot of people be serving canned yams. And i don't like canned yams.

08:16.81
Vance 😈
Nah.

08:19.55
Nandi K
I only eat Shaun's yams. I won't eat anyone else's yams because Shaun bakes them and roasts them in the oven. And those are delicious.

08:28.25
Vance 😈
Mm-hmm.

08:30.16
Nandi K
I will eat a roast.

08:30.23
Vance 😈
It got the marshmallows.

08:32.04
Nandi K
No, no, no. It's not a like a, that's like a sweet potato souffle. That's past yams.

08:36.15
Vance 😈

08:38.41
Nandi K
This is, is this just sweet potatoes? And Shaun does like orange juice and like, it's like, it has like a little syrup that it like sits in and get, and it gets nice and crispy and it's soft on it.

08:46.41
Vance 😈

08:50.73
Nandi K
Ooh. And then I'd be like, I only want my sweet potato sweet now.

08:52.36
Vance 😈
That's.

08:54.69
Nandi K
So yeah, because they're so good.

08:56.26
Vance 😈
Yeah, no, that's fair. ah

08:58.41
Nandi K
They're really good. But Shaun made me like yams. I wouldn't eat yams for my whole life before that.

09:03.39
Vance 😈
Do Shaun send recipes?

09:05.76
Nandi K
I mean, we could, i sent you the sweet, I sent you the yams recipe before because I told you I was making that sweet potato syrup, which I burned.

09:14.12
Vance 😈
Yes.

09:14.98
Nandi K
And so I could not, I forgot about it. I was multitasking and I burned it, but I bought a sweet potato recently. So can try make it again.

09:22.45

09:37.24
Vance 😈

09:39.32
Nandi K
No, I, the food be gone. I be telling y'all how good it was. I be like, yo, I just had such a, not a single picture to be found.

09:48.57
Vance 😈
And then every time, what do I say? Pics? Question mark.

09:51.61
Nandi K
Yeah, and i mean I'm not thinking about that. It's like, this is like, this is what I'd be like, who I hate.

09:54.41
Vance 😈
I'll be livid. Arthur meme.

09:58.13
Nandi K
This is why I like hate social media, because I'm like, what is the pic going do? was' just You just want to share the experience?

Nandi K
I'll try to take more pics. Okay, fine.

10:07.96
Vance 😈
It's a visual aid. Like, I don't need you to post it on your wall.

10:09.50
Nandi K
and Okay.

10:10.96
Vance 😈
I need a personal picture.

10:12.73
Nandi K

10:18.32
Vance 😈
yeah

10:18.33
Nandi K
When I share an experience, you're like, okay, share the experience, hoe. I hear that

10:23.12
Vance 😈
If it got like parsley and shit, I could see it popping like, oh, yeah, they did that. Like, I love that shit. People will be getting mad.

10:28.34
Nandi K
Yeah.

10:28.75
Vance 😈
And I'd be like, did you use a roux? Like, if I see a mac and cheese and the consistency ain't right in the image, like, because they'll be trying to pass out bad food.

10:33.99
Nandi K
Mm-hmm.

10:36.07
Vance 😈
Right.

10:36.64
Nandi K
Yeah, no.

10:36.90
Vance 😈
So, oh, that that is one thing I wanted to talk about for the holidays. One of the things that I love about the holiday is the plates.

10:44.65
Nandi K
oh yeah yeah

10:45.57
Vance 😈
The posting of the plate. Because like if it's good, we got you. But some people, it's like, damn, y'all live like this? like This is your granny?

10:52.66
Nandi K
yeah i don't i personally hate when people post plates because most of the people who are posting plates it don't be looking good like it do not be looking good if you said i'll fold it

11:00.02
Vance 😈
Not good. Not good. That's my favorite part. Folding. Fold the plate. That shit is so funny to me. Fold that plate.

11:10.65
Vance 😈
Look, if it's glass, fold it. Who cares?

11:12.92
Nandi K
Oh my god.

11:13.09
Vance 😈
Fold it.

11:14.45
Nandi K
Lay us, please.

11:15.62
Vance 😈
Put it in the trash. Put that shit in the trash. Fold it.

11:18.09
Nandi K
Not fold the ceramic plate.

11:20.32
Vance 😈
Fold it. Look, you you we don't got to be discreet. That's the one time I'm okay. Like, look, you know I didn't like it because folded the plate.

11:29.11
Nandi K
Listen. Okay, so we, uh, you also said you don't know the difference between stuffing and dressing.

11:30.55
Vance 😈
um

11:37.19
Vance 😈
I always told the difference, and I just don't retain it. Like, I'm just like...

11:40.81
Nandi K
The difference is one is stuffed in the turkey and one is not.

11:45.36
Vance 😈
But see, the funny thing about the funny thing about that, I just don't feel like black people do stuffing at all.

11:45.42
Nandi K
Stuffing, you stuff it in the turkey and dress in

11:54.19
Vance 😈
So it's all dressing that I've eaten.

11:55.92
Nandi K
It is all dressing.

11:57.38
Vance 😈
Yeah, because like, why would you put bread in a thing that's already dry?

11:57.56
Nandi K
Yeah.

12:03.03
Vance 😈
Like, how that makes sense?

12:03.81
Nandi K
*beep* you're making too much sense. Oh my God.

12:06.30
Vance 😈
How does that make sense?

12:06.63
Nandi K
I never even thought about that before.

12:08.93
Vance 😈
I saw a white woman stuffing bread, crumbs, or like, like you know, like on TV or something, but

12:11.99
Nandi K
Oh, Lord. Yeah, like, yes, no, I know what you mean.

12:15.25
Vance 😈
And I was watching it and I'm like, that thing is already dry. You're putting something dry inside of it. That is crazy. That'll make. So, okay. So I guess my confusion and not knowing is really just the fact that I've probably only eaten dressin my whole life.

12:29.75
Nandi K
Fair. i think that's fair. I maybe have had stuffing once or twice. You know, I've had some found family Thanksgivings, you know, with some some whites and living away, you know, and you know, it's crazy.

12:38.87
Vance 😈
Uh, right. That's the twenty s

12:43.60
Nandi K
When I moved to New York, too, it was great because it's different. Right. Like the way people eat is just like different.

12:47.80
Vance 😈
Yep. You don't know.

12:49.29
Nandi K
And that's when I learned I need to probably just do this by myself.

12:52.52
Vance 😈
Damn.

12:53.15
Nandi K
ah Yeah, I was just like, oh, I got to start, like, cooking anyway by myself.

12:53.48
Vance 😈
You live like this. Mm-hmm.

12:59.21
Nandi K
I want to give, obviously, an honorable mention to some of the controversial dishes, and I'll never miss the opportunity to plug that I eat chitlins.

12:59.26
Vance 😈
Mm-hmm.

13:09.01
Nandi K
I cannot be out-nigga’d.

13:09.38
Vance 😈
Do you eat Chitlin's?

13:11.46
Nandi K
I cannot be out-nigga’d. I cannot be out-nigga’d, okay?

13:15.58
Vance 😈
Look, you you got me there, big dog.

13:16.30
Nandi K
Yeah. That's right. Yeah, I love chitlins.

13:19.21
Vance 😈
You got me.

13:20.75
Aaron Rand Freeman
Bye.

13:20.79
Nandi K
I grew up eating chitlins and chitlins and hog maws, if you know, for real, for real.

13:25.36
Vance 😈
I do. I think I could do a hog mawl.

13:26.16
Nandi K
It's a little mixed. How can you do a hog maw and you're like, you're not going to a chitlin?

13:29.53
Vance 😈
Ain't that just a, ain't them

13:30.62
Nandi K
They mix. The maw is the stomach, girl. You're not. You're not.

13:34.59
Vance 😈
all? Oh, then nah.

13:35.29
Nandi K
You're not on it.

13:35.66
Vance 😈
I'm thinking jowl. I'm thinking jowl.

13:36.95
Nandi K
Usually, yeah, they usually mix hog maws and chitlins because chitlins are expensive.

13:39.55
Vance 😈
I could do a jowl. Because a jowl makes sense.

13:43.62
Nandi K
No, I don't know.

13:45.15
Vance 😈
to

13:45.59
Nandi K
Pigs eat shit. Yeah.

13:47.34
Vance 😈
It's fat right there, but the chitlins is the shit, and no

13:50.37
Nandi K
No, you cleaned them. Oh my God, what?

13:51.97
Vance 😈
Of course you do. I don't believe you eat dirty chitlins. I know you don't.

13:55.30
Nandi K
No. Oh, you already know.

13:55.82
Vance 😈
I know you don't.

13:56.82
Nandi K
You know, I actually thought i was going die.

13:57.13
Vance 😈
Yeah, I know you don't.

13:59.90
Nandi K
When my grandmother passed away, i thought I'll never have chitlins again.

14:02.30
Vance 😈
Mm-hmm.

14:04.73
Nandi K
That's like, literally, I just thought, well, my grandma's dead.

14:08.51
Vance 😈
Right, that's done.

14:08.91
Nandi K
I'll never have chitlins because my daddy's people, they're

14:09.19
Vance 😈
That tradition's gone. Mm-hmm.

14:14.21
Nandi K
they think they're too good to eat chitlins no both of my parents families are respectable but they think they're too good to eat chitlins that's a different thing you that has nothing to do a respectability um right who's making them now

14:15.25
Vance 😈
Respectable. ah Yeah. Yeah.

14:20.25
Vance 😈
Mm-hmm.

14:25.98
Vance 😈
Who's making them?

14:29.42
Vance 😈
Yeah.

14:29.79
Nandi K
Now Shaun's mom makes them and I'd be requesting. I literally just asked her this weekend. I was like, girl, I know it's getting close to the holidays, but might you mind making me some chitlins? Because I bought chitlins last year, but she already made some for me. I bought chitlins earlier this year, but she already made those for me and sent them back with Shaun one day.

14:52.40
Nandi K
So I had chitlins in the middle of the year as well.

14:54.18
Vance 😈
some more

14:55.85
Nandi K
So this will be more for the for Thanksgiving. Yes, I'll definitely have chitlins for Thanksgiving. Chitlins, rice, hot sauce. That's usually the first thing I have is just a plate full of chitlins and rice.

15:08.47
Nandi K
That's like the first thing I have.

15:10.44
Vance 😈
if i go down in december i will eat chillins with you if there are any uh okay

15:14.72
Nandi K
There won't be any because that'll just be for um Thanksgiving because Shaun's mama is making them. I'll never make chitlins in my life.

15:21.76
Vance 😈
Yeah, it's the in my house as well.

15:22.54
Nandi K
It's too much work.

15:23.88
Vance 😈
Yeah, I know.

15:24.47
Nandi K
It's not, for me, it's not about the smell. It's about how much work it is. You have to like clean them with like bleach and stuff. And it's just like that.

15:30.36
Vance 😈
hmm.

15:31.99
Nandi K
Maybe if Tracy taught me, actually I might learn.

15:32.21
Vance 😈
Nope.

15:35.24
Vance 😈
Mm hmm.

15:37.54
Nandi K
I actually would be kind of down to learn. Cause you also have to like rip them. It's a whole thing. You have to like tear them apart, tear the lining inside out. Like it's a big thing. Like, so when I hit her up, I was like, girl, you know, I'll pay for it.

15:53.85
Vance 😈
oh what What I will say is um I think that we are getting to the age of like, um like you know, baby pre-elders. I don't know what you want to call it.

16:02.21
Nandi K
Yeah, no, it's true.

16:03.52
Vance 😈
We're like, we're being trusted with these dishes. Like I'm trusted with the mac and cheese at this point. I brought it to um our 10 year anniversary of family dinner and them niggas love that shit.

16:09.85
Nandi K
You did it.

16:12.60
Vance 😈
But anyway, my point. Yeah, I did want to just highlight that. Like, I do think there's levels to this, like bringing dishes. So like if you're trusted to bring a dish,

16:18.57
Nandi K
Yeah, we did a whole Thanksgiving at our house two years ago. We hosted Thanksgiving at our house and made everything.

16:25.20
Vance 😈
How was it?

16:25.53
Nandi K
um It was really great. We never want to do it again.

16:29.68

16:38.82
Vance 😈
Mm-hmm.

16:39.81
Nandi K
But it was a lot of work and I never want to make all the food again.

16:44.80
Vance 😈
No, that's fair. That's why. Well, I think that's a perfect segue into the next ah the next part of this conversation. um I feel like ah time check.

16:53.75
Nandi K
oh well you see the time check you see the time check don't pretend like you don't see the time check

They will, but at their own peril.
