Nandi K
Welcome back to Right Click.

00:03.64
Vance 😈
A bite-sized pop culture conversation with your favorite queer, unfriendly black hotties.

00:08.46
Nandi K
We're unfriendly today because, bitch, if I have to cook for myself three times in a day again, *sigh* I'm Nandi K.

00:19.03
Vance 😈
And I'm Vance Gowe. And, oh, i

00:23.13
Nandi K
mm

00:24.76
Vance 😈
ah I mean, we're going to talk about it, but like, I do hate having to cook for myself every day after going to work and then like trying to figure out like, bitch, you're going to go work out today.

00:30.97
Nandi K
Yeah.

00:35.42
Nandi K
what

00:36.65
Vance 😈
Are you going to, you know, pay your bills or whatever? Just, you know, the things, do you got to take your car to the mechanic?

00:40.61
Nandi K
oh god oh my god and then you gotta figure out what you gonna eat. mind you by the time you do it after work how many times have you already had to make that same decision

00:43.29
Vance 😈
Like all the all the things that you have to do after work and you only got a small window. Yeah. It's,

00:58.17
Vance 😈
Right, right. Yeah. If you're someone that could do repetition, that might be easy for you, but.

01:02.94
Nandi K
Yeah, not for me. The way my autism is set up, it's not the kind that only wants one thing. Baby, variety is the spice of life. I hate repeating shit.

01:13.08
Vance 😈
Yeah, yeah.

01:14.97
Nandi K
I'm just like, I don't want... I also am weird about leftovers. You got about one day of leftovers out of me, and it's only certain leftovers I'ma eat. I'm very...

01:25.99
Nandi K
but today we talking about cooking.

01:29.30
Vance 😈
Yes, yes. Cooking cooking is the topic.

01:32.34
Nandi K
Yeah, we talking about cooking.

01:33.82
Vance 😈
who

01:35.35
Nandi K
Yeah, I mean, it's something we all got to I have ah met some people who are adults who apparently don't do it well. There's some people that I know who have questionable takes about food.

01:48.88
Nandi K
Some of our mutuals, I would say, have some very questionable takes about food. We'll shout them out when we post this episode.

01:57.34
Vance 😈
Uh uh

01:59.46
Nandi K
We'll tag her. She knows who she is. We know you're listening, boo.

02:03.59
Vance 😈
Uh-uh I'm like, who is it?

02:04.21
Nandi K
We love you.

02:05.98
Vance 😈
Put it in the in the chat right there.

02:07.84
Nandi K
I'll put it in the chat. Oh, no, we I'll put it in. We'll just have to bleep it out. It's *bleep*.

02:11.70
Vance 😈
Okay. Damn, love her.

02:14.97
Nandi K
But am i not She has very questionable food takes. Because she'd be like, eat for fuel.

02:19.54
Vance 😈
yeah

02:21.90
Nandi K
It doesn't matter if it tastes good. I'm like, that's a wild thing to say. And I'm sorry. like I don't know.

02:28.60
Vance 😈
I feel like I feel like some that I know a couple of people like that and I'm just like couldn't be me like I don't get it.

02:29.02
Nandi K
Sometimes I'd be like, are you okay?

02:37.34
Nandi K
I just wonder if those people are all right. Like.

02:40.12
Vance 😈
I don't get it. Also, the people, you know, it's the joke online at this point, but the people that don't center anything around food. So like if we're hanging out for eight hours. There's no food like those people.

02:50.33
Nandi K
No, it's a no.

02:51.74
Vance 😈
Do you hate me?

02:52.09
Nandi K
And I'm like, does this person that we mentioned fall in that same category? I would think probably.

02:59.51
Vance 😈
Maybe if they're in charge of the thing, right?

03:02.23
Nandi K
Yeah, that's what I mean.

03:02.27
Vance 😈
But like, we we're not...

03:03.63
Nandi K
I don't, obviously it's not what other people are in charge when you have a say.

03:03.63
Vance 😈
Yeah, but we're not... We're not having that. Yeah, we're not... We're not having that. Because I can't even do that.

03:09.91
Nandi K
Yeah.

03:10.74
Vance 😈
Like...

03:11.48
Nandi K
I get mad. Like I'm mad if you invite me to something and there's, we're not having like eating as an activity.

03:13.14
Vance 😈
No...

03:18.92
Nandi K
Cause like my energy is depleted from socialing.

03:20.73
Vance 😈
Right? Right. I'm lift you up with my hands. Right?

03:25.30
Nandi K
Thank you. Thank you. And that's why we best friends because this is what matters. But, I mean, should we start with our general like feelings about cooking?

03:29.70
Vance 😈
I'm going to lift you up.

03:36.06
Nandi K
I personally love to cook like when I feel like it.

03:41.40
Vance 😈
That's the important distinction. Same. if i If I don't feel like I'm under duress and like you know under the gun of capitalism and time management and all that other stuff, I'm like, well, but yeah, when i when I'm feeling good, I love to cook.

03:51.19
Nandi K
Gunpoint, right?

03:56.99
Vance 😈
Even when I'm not feeling good, it's almost like working out where like you don't want to do then you do it and you might feel okay.

04:00.57
Nandi K
Yeah.

04:03.67
Nandi K
I don't know. Sometimes, do you ever have that thing happen where you like cook and then when you're done cooking, you don't want to eat no more?

04:11.16
Vance 😈
Sometimes. Like, I cooked last night, and I think it was probably more good than not. But, yeah, I think, like, bandwidth, like,

04:18.45
Nandi K
Yeah.

04:19.48
Vance 😈
have Like you said, having to consider what you're making, the time management, buying the ingredients. If it's literally just you doing it and you don't have like some help or like even Instacart.

04:28.57
Nandi K
Right.

04:29.90
Aaron Rand Freeman
Thank you.

04:31.06
Vance 😈
Like, I mean, i don't I try not to if I don't have to. But like, you know, even like having ah the resources to be able to have someone shop for you.

04:33.85
Nandi K
yeah

04:38.78
Vance 😈
Like, it's a lot. And like, so I get when people are like, um I'm not doing this.

04:42.07
Nandi K
Yeah.

04:45.27
Nandi K
Yeah, I mean, we do a lot of

04:45.40
Vance 😈
But I do like cooking.

04:49.59
Nandi K
Like, during the lockdown, we did a and a crazy year of, like, not cooking and just only ordering. Like, it was so bad. i don't even want to think about the amount of money we were spending on eating out.

05:08.25
Nandi K
It was obscene. Like...

05:10.01
Vance 😈
Yeah.

05:11.35
Nandi K
I never did the math because I didn't want to be attacked in that way to see like four digits like showing back at me and like the amount of takeout that I'm ordering.

05:15.13
Vance 😈
Yeah. By your...

05:20.09
Vance 😈
Ooh.

05:22.65
Vance 😈
For real?

05:25.50
Nandi K
But now we're like, we've been back hardcore into our cooking for like a few years now. And I do have help.

05:34.33
Vance 😈
Yeah, I know.

05:34.51
Nandi K
I don't have to cook every night.

05:35.86
Vance 😈
Help is important. i'm I'm legit trying to start up like a um like a cook, like a meal train or something where like you cook something one night and the homies come get it from you.

05:42.52
Nandi K
Sure.

05:46.25
Vance 😈
You don't drop it. They come get it.

05:47.80
Nandi K
Yeah.

05:48.02
Vance 😈
And if you know, like, cause I do cook too much. Like when I say too much, I don't mean a quantity. I mean quantity, not quantity. quality like You know what I'm saying? I cook too much food

05:56.76
Nandi K
Not like you don't cook too much. like That nigga need to stop cooking.

06:00.28
Vance 😈
in the week.

06:01.50
Nandi K
He cooked so goddamn much.

06:02.94
Vance 😈
Yeah, no, it's the, the quantity, the amount of food I cook is too much.

06:05.66
Nandi K
Yeah. It's hard to cook for like one person or like

06:09.40
Vance 😈
It is. Like, you got to go out your way to, like, restrain yourself. And that's the other thing. What you said about leftovers, I'll be having leftovers for, like, four days.

06:17.37
Nandi K
Yeah, no. See, this is what I do when I was just single and cooking.

06:18.42
Vance 😈
Yeah.

06:22.51
Nandi K
What I would do is like I would choose like a meat that might be my like meat for the next few days. And then I would cook it one way one day. i would have some left over to cook it another way another day.

06:38.14
Nandi K
I like to do that with like ground pork. When Shaun goes out of town, I'll take out some ground pork.

06:40.68
Vance 😈
Mm-hmm.

06:43.51
Nandi K
Baby, I'm having ground pork for every meal in some way. I'm having ground pork for breakfast, sausage patties. I'm having rice, ground pork, and some vegetable for dinner. In the morning, I'm having ground pork, eggs, and rice again. Like, ah I can repeat like main, but meals,

07:06.04
Vance 😈
Yeah, no, it do.

07:06.17
Nandi K
no

07:07.36
Vance 😈
It do got to change up. So, I mean, sounds like we're getting to it, but like, what is your overall relationship to cooking? Like, did you start? i think we got some of the lore on the podcast already, but like, yeah.

07:16.18
Nandi K
Yeah, I mean, I started cooking really young. i probably started cooking when I was like seven. When I was seven, my mom had a surgery on her hand, carpal tunnel surgery.

07:25.11
Vance 😈
Wild. Mm hmm.

07:29.06
Nandi K
And so she like lost the use of her dominant hand for like a while. And so I was the oldest daughter. How great.

07:38.01
Vance 😈
Yeah, first son.

07:38.36
Nandi K
And so I had to start cooking, start helping. um But I did like cooking, like first started with like breakfast. And then i remember I was making pot roast at like nine.

07:53.40
Nandi K
So

07:55.00
Vance 😈
We such millennials, because you're saying all this, and I'm not shook at all, but I feel like thinking about our friends,

07:59.93
Nandi K
Yeah, no, I was making pie roasts at nine years old, like, fully seasoning it, searing it in the pot.

08:06.17
Vance 😈
Right.

08:06.65
Nandi K
Like...

08:06.73
Vance 😈
Yeah. Thinking about our friends, nine year olds cooking up hot roast. I'm like, absolutely not. Like.

08:11.90
Nandi K
Child, my sister, i can't imagine her making a pot roast. She 19. She ain't even grow up cooking like that.

08:18.14
Vance 😈
Right. Right.

08:20.05
Nandi K
Right,

08:20.57
Vance 😈
My nephews, my, uh, my twin nephews, I couldn't see it. Couldn't imagine it. Hell there. They're their brother.

08:25.75
Nandi K
right.

08:25.77
Vance 😈
Nope. None of it.

08:26.81
Nandi K
Right.

08:27.49
Vance 😈
Oh, for For me, I did not grow up ah cooking.

08:29.92
Nandi K
Mm-hmm.

08:30.92
Aaron Rand Freeman
you

08:31.66
Vance 😈
Well, I did. That's not true. That's not fully true. I feel like I i wasn't like formally taught to cook you know by my mom or anything like that. ah But my grandpa was the cook of out of you know my grandma and grandpa.

08:43.51
Nandi K
Mm-hmm.

08:43.58
Vance 😈
So I had it modeled for me that men cook.

08:47.06
Nandi K
Yeah, my dad cooked a lot, too.

08:49.05
Vance 😈
So that was good. And then I had an uncle who had a bunch of kids and we used to cook breakfast every Sunday for a bunch of kids. And he was always dating somebody that had kids. So it'd be like, it'd be like 12 kids and me and me his older daughter.

09:01.46
Nandi K
Oh my god.

09:03.42
Vance 😈
Cause you know, the oldest daughter the first son, uh, me and her, had we had to cook.

09:05.98
Nandi K
Yes. and dead The older daughter is the first son is crazy, but it's true.

09:08.54
Vance 😈
We had to cook for the whole family. You know how it is.

09:12.54
Nandi K
It's not a son.

09:12.62
Vance 😈
It's true.

09:13.74
Nandi K
Sons don't get treated like that.

09:15.22
Vance 😈
Right, but it's the the responsible one has to bear the brunt of every, the office manager is what we call them.

09:18.87
Nandi K
yeah yeah yeah yes that's right involuntary office manager damn that's crazy cooking on saturdays yeah that's also i do want to bring that up my daddy was always the better cook and still is my mom she does what she could can she but she was a burntout ass mama everything on 400 like

09:24.85
Vance 😈
Right.

09:34.24
Aaron Rand Freeman
Thank you.

09:39.29
Vance 😈
Yep.

09:43.48
Vance 😈
Yeah.

09:44.92
Nandi K
Everything on broil, i know yeah I don't want to broil leg quarters no more.

09:47.00
Vance 😈
Yeah. Yeah.

09:50.08
Nandi K
They're burnt. The bone is burnt up.

09:51.39
Vance 😈
Come on. Uh-huh. Would it be it would be curled up the bone? Tight. um

09:56.97
Nandi K
What's your first dish that you remember like cooking?

10:01.74
Vance 😈
I feel like for me, it was always these like some like some Asian stuff.

10:04.95
Aaron Rand Freeman
Thank you.

10:06.66
Vance 😈
Like... like like teriyaki chicken with jalapenos or something like that's when i when i was when my mom you know um i feel like all our moms on the same bluetooth network when they get that update they say we don't cook no more you know what i'm talking about um well my mom got that i was a teenager she stopped cooking so like i used to just get uh frozen chicken cutlets and put it in my noodles so like it always started with like

10:11.94
Nandi K
Fancy.

10:22.74
Nandi K
a

10:33.18
Vance 😈
juzhjing up the noodles. But yeah, once I started getting a you know a little more, I started adding vegetables. I then started learning searing techniques and sauces, and then it just kind of evolved into like you know where I'm at now.

10:39.61
Nandi K
Yeah.

10:45.27
Nandi K
Yeah, my mom never like stopped cooking. She never stopped cooking really.

10:49.53
Vance 😈
Blessings.

10:51.10
Nandi K
That was one thing she didn't stop. Now, did we have to make our own meals sometimes? Yes, but it wasn't like dinner, usually. She would usually make dinner. Now, again, i told you everything on 400, so it wasn't like Chateau fucking...

11:03.80
Vance 😈
Yeah.

11:06.84
Vance 😈
Yeah, yeah. Technically great.

11:08.08
Nandi K
Chateaux Delish.

11:08.36
Vance 😈
Yeah.

11:09.12
Nandi K
It wasn't none of that, bitch.

11:09.66
Vance 😈
Yeah.

11:10.60
Nandi K
it was very burnt.

11:12.57
Aaron Rand Freeman
Bye.

11:13.04
Nandi K
Chateau burnt, bitch. But... But I think some of, I said pot roast. Pot roast is probably the first like real deal like thing I remember making being like, oh, I'm not for play play any anymore.

11:28.34
Vance 😈
Yeah. And she's, yeah, that's a, that's a good one. Cause like, it's not to say it's easy, but like, yeah, I think once you got the season and the sear and then the break, you know, the, the brazing, then like you can, you can do a competent one.

11:42.14
Nandi K
Yeah. And it's like, ah and I did it on a stove, right? So it wasn't like I didn't have no slow cooker, right? So like I had to like watch it.

11:49.67
Vance 😈
Mm-hmm.

11:52.02
Nandi K
I also had to be like patient because pot roast is something that takes a long time and you have to cook it on low. You got to watch the liquid so the liquid don't fully reduce down and leave your shit dry.

12:02.28
Vance 😈
Right. Right. And burn.

12:04.54
Nandi K
You know, like I think it was a good one to teach you like good food.

12:04.64
Vance 😈
Yeah.

12:09.50
Nandi K
Like you kind of have to like take your time sometimes to do it.

12:14.21
Vance 😈
No, that's a good one. Do you have a specialty?

12:18.61
Nandi K
I can really make anything. like I feel so like confident in the kitchen. There's not really anything I feel like I can't make. But I am particularly good at frying because I've also been frying for a really long time.

12:33.59
Nandi K
So I would probably say that's like what I'm...

12:33.66
Vance 😈
Damn. ah

12:36.57
Nandi K
Again, i can make anything, but I am particularly good at frying. I do feel like a lot of bitches can't really fry like that. And so i wear my crown.

12:47.58
Vance 😈
So that was my that was my other question is, ah you got any blind spots? You got anything you don't feel confident in? I feel like i we just heard it.

12:55.19
Nandi K
No.

12:56.41
Vance 😈
So for me, Fryin. an Yeah, i didn't I didn't. I hate to o admit this on this black ass podcast, but no, I didn't grow up. I didn't grow up frying. So like, well, yeah, I don't like to fry because I know me.

13:07.91
Nandi K
You're afraid of the grease.

13:12.81
Vance 😈
If I fried all the time, I would just, you know, I got to maintain height and weight for for my job.

13:18.71
Nandi K
See, this is this is the thing.

13:20.09
Aaron Rand Freeman
Thank you.

13:20.43
Nandi K
This is the thing about when you can fry on your own, it actually tempers you. Because it's so much work. Like, can't be frying stuff all the time. It's a mess.

13:34.20
Nandi K
Like, too many bowls and bags and...

13:34.36
Vance 😈
Yep. it The house smell. Right. Right. Right. Yeah. But like, so I'm not a confident fryer. Like I fried a couple of weeks ago, my first batch.

13:45.02
Vance 😈
You didn't even get the picture of the first batch. Cause we not going play ourselves. Second batch controlled the temperature, got it together.

13:48.95
Nandi K
Oh.

13:52.09
Nandi K
Mm-hmm.

13:52.30
Vance 😈
I understand the concept, but I don't have 10,000 hours is what is what the, to be a pro at anything.

13:56.44
Nandi K
It don't take 10,000 hours to get good at frying, though.

14:00.45
Vance 😈
It takes 10,000.

14:01.43
Nandi K
I don't think that's true.

14:01.45
Vance 😈
That's what I'm talking. That's what I'm referring to.

14:03.16
Nandi K
I don't think I've even fried 10,000 hours in my life.

14:03.33
Vance 😈
um No one has. I think the concept is is if you do it so much, you're a pro and I'm not a pro.

14:10.23
Nandi K
Yeah.

14:11.38
Vance 😈
I'm I'm a I'm.

14:11.77
Nandi K
Yeah. I upped my game recently with like switching to straight up only cast iron, which is like, I think a level up because cast iron is a beast on its own.

14:17.14
Vance 😈
Yeah.

14:21.31
Nandi K
It gets so hot. You have to really feel confident about maintaining a temperature and stuff.

14:23.06
Vance 😈
She is.

14:27.11
Nandi K
But like Shaun taught me some dope shit. Like, cause Shaun comes from baby. The line of, I come from cooks on my daddy's side.

14:33.24
Vance 😈
Cookers.

14:37.86
Vance 😈
Mm-hmm.

14:38.62
Nandi K
Shaun's mama's eye is like legit ass caterers. Like they got businesses cooking. Shaun taught me how to put, you put ah cut up onions in the oil to keep it from burning.

14:53.12
Vance 😈
What?

14:53.91
Nandi K
Never heard that in my life.

14:55.22
Vance 😈
Me neither. how How big?

14:57.59
Nandi K
It works. And it also tastes good.

15:00.02
Vance 😈
How big are the onions?

15:01.27
Nandi K
Just a little. You can just cut them up however. Just like you just put a nut, just a little bit in there.

15:04.02
Vance 😈
Huh.

15:07.42
Vance 😈
I mean, I feel like um some of the some of the, you know, some of our South American ah brothers and sisters, I know they put onions and peppers in their and they're frying oil.

15:08.06
Nandi K
A fine smattering, you know?

15:18.26
Vance 😈
So I've seen the other techniques, but again, I just need to do it so that way I can get better and more confident.

15:24.22
Nandi K
Yeah.

15:24.67
Vance 😈
But I do love to read about like cooking techniques and getting it together in that way. So yeah, you know.

15:31.48
Nandi K
Yeah. Do you have a specialty now, do you think?

15:36.22
Vance 😈
No, I mean, I feel pretty much like you, ah minus frying. but But I don't know.

15:41.53
Nandi K
Sure.

15:43.21
Vance 😈
Like, I love a braise.

15:43.70
Nandi K
I think you can fry. You just don't feel confident. Like, yeah.

15:47.06
Vance 😈
Yeah, that's what yeah that's exactly what I'm saying. Like, I don't feel...

15:49.40
Nandi K
Yeah.

15:50.22
Vance 😈
I'm not a confident fryer. That's why I use the language confident. cause But you know that makes a difference.

15:53.05
Nandi K
Yeah.

15:55.18
Vance 😈
Like, when you...

15:55.54
Nandi K
It makes a huge difference. If you're scared of frying, you're not gonna be...

15:58.72
Vance 😈
Yup.

15:59.21
Nandi K
Yeah, it's not gonna be.

15:59.26
Vance 😈
Yeah. When you know what you're doing and you just execute, that's how you cook a good dish, right?

16:00.23
Nandi K
Yeah.

16:04.46
Vance 😈
And then, like, you know,

16:04.79
Nandi K
Now, you can still fuck up. Get too confident. I've definitely gotten too confident on occasion. But...

16:10.39
Vance 😈
I ain't even, yeah, I ain't there. But I love a braise situation, like ah like a short rib or an oxtail or, you know, just, I mean, even a pot roast.

16:16.31
Nandi K
Okay. Same. Oh, yeah.

16:21.16
Vance 😈
Like, because like you said, it ain't, people people pretend that it's like, you you can't fuck this up. But I'm like, you can.

16:28.89
Nandi K
No, you can.

16:29.78
Vance 😈
You can.

16:30.39
Nandi K
Oh, one time me and Shaun had a cooking contest with short ribs and I didn't get to cook mine long enough. Cost me the contest.

16:37.59
Vance 😈
Right, because it was probably firm, right? Or something.

16:40.38
Nandi K
Yeah, they was too, they wasn't ah tender enough.

16:40.39
Vance 😈
um

16:43.45
Vance 😈
Right, right, because you don't take your time and it's not low enough. Or like, I think I learned one time, like, if you hit it too hard before you raise it, like, that could affect the...

16:48.06
Nandi K
yeah

16:52.93
Vance 😈
ah But anyway.

16:53.85
Nandi K
Oh, yeah. You gotta let the meat get... It's like letting the meat get to room temperature because if you bret if you sear cold meat, it'll shock it. Yeah, exactly.

17:02.36
Vance 😈
Yeah, yeah.

17:03.41
Nandi K
Yep. Exactly. Chyle, listen.

17:07.67
Vance 😈
Chili's and stews also, because I'm really good at layering and developing flavor. ah So, yeah, I would say like a chili or a stew. I'm trying to up my game.

17:17.02
Nandi K
Okay.

17:18.09
Vance 😈
I didn't send you none of the pictures, but I'm trying to up my game on um searing the chicken and controlling the temperature and getting it you know getting that good sear on it without overcooking.

17:24.80
Nandi K
Mm-hmm.

17:28.31
Nandi K
Yeah.

17:28.82
Vance 😈
I'll send you some pictures. I've been doing it with thighs, but I'm to up it to breast, because I think breast is an actual testament of the skill.

17:34.52
Nandi K
It is, because anyway, who even wants that?

17:34.74
Vance 😈
Because you could overcook a thigh and be right.

17:37.00
Nandi K
I don't even be having breasts in my house.

17:39.86
Vance 😈
They're sad, ain't it?

17:41.05
Nandi K
Yeah, I don't really invite breasts into my house. Only thighs, as we well know. I'm a big proponent of thighs just in general.

17:48.45
Vance 😈
It's the best cut.

17:49.40
Nandi K
Across the board, this doesn't only relate to chicken.

17:49.73
Vance 😈
It's the best one.

17:52.79
Vance 😈
Right, to poultry.

17:52.89
Nandi K
This relates to people.

17:53.71
Vance 😈
It's humans. Right.

17:55.38
Nandi K
i love thighs.

17:56.98
Vance 😈
Right. um Speaking of sadness, ah any food trauma around, like, dishes you don't make,

18:00.31
Nandi K
ah

18:03.42
Nandi K
My food trauma... You know, I think a lot of African-Americans will agree with me.

18:09.46
Vance 😈
Yeah.

18:12.10
Nandi K
well I have trauma on spaghetti. Like, literally would not even eat spaghetti until like two years ago because that was my daddy's like...

18:16.38
Vance 😈
Same. o

18:28.76
Vance 😈
Go to.

18:29.66
Nandi K
Yeah, and he used to be like, eat a spaghetti sandwich. And then we had, you know you gotta eat spaghetti until it's gone.

18:33.66
Vance 😈
Fuck off.

18:35.66
Nandi K
And he literally used to be like, it's spaghetti in there.

18:36.02
Vance 😈
Right. Right.

18:38.66
Nandi K
Eat a spaghetti sandwich.

18:39.93
Vance 😈
Yeah. And they make enough.

18:41.57
Nandi K
Daddy, no.

18:42.74
Vance 😈
Right. And they make enough for a small platoon. Like they make enough for like a squadron of men. I'm like, nigga, what we need 30 days of spaghetti for?

18:48.89
Nandi K
Yuck. Also, like, nigga, I don't want to eat spaghetti for four nights in a row.

18:57.91
Vance 😈
Right. Right.

18:59.03
Nandi K
That's crazy.

19:01.53
Vance 😈
And then it'd be... i don't know how y'all did it, but like my mama used to the sauce and the meat all together. And then by that fourth day, the the sauce be crunchy and crisp.

19:08.31
Nandi K
yeah The noodles don't.

19:10.29
Vance 😈
and

19:11.37
Nandi K
This is what I'm saying. It's like y'all not even separating it so that a nigga could have a spaghetti to eat later.

19:15.41
Vance 😈
Yup. So then we could... fresh Fresh noodles. Yep. Yeah, so it same to all, actually. that um Now, i'll even make the sauce I'll make the sauce on the side, and then I make fresh noodles every time I eat the sauce.

19:29.18
Nandi K
Same.

19:31.62
Vance 😈
So when I do eat it, it's still fresh. Tastes fresh.

19:34.87
Nandi K
Yeah, I've also recently healed my spaghetti trauma, making it how I want. I also do separate pasta. If we have a little bit of pasta left over from the night before, that can make it to the next day.

19:45.64
Vance 😈
Throw it in there.

19:48.38
Vance 😈
