Christmas I almost wore my Christmas sweater, and then I didn't. I was like I'm going cozy vibes instead. I'm cozy as fuck, I'm not wearing pants.
Speaker 2:Well, that's a different level of cozy, yeah, yeah. So you have fun with your Christmas sweater, and I thought about it but then I just got to do it.
Speaker 1:Oh, you have eggnog. I wish I had some. This is the last Little bit of my carton Because, as I said before, the new trail eggnog as much as I love it, it is almost 400 calories for one cup of eggnog. So I have switched. I actually got Earth's own. I think I talked about this. Oh yeah, Did you like it? I do. It's not a, it's not a, it's not a, it's not a. It's not a. It's not a, it's not a, it's not a. It's not a, it's not a, it's not a. I do. It's not as like, obviously, because it's oat milk. It's not as thick and creamy, but like, honestly, the like, taste and the texture of it. I really like it. So and I'm mostly going to use it for eggnog a lot taste anyways, right. So I'm already going to be adding, like, more cinnamon and coffee to it.
Speaker 2:So it works for what I need. So yeah, Speaking about last of things, this is the last fat girl therapy of the year.
Speaker 1:I'm going to be doing a little bit of a a little bit of a, a little bit of a, a little bit of a, a little bit of a, a little bit of a fat girl. Yeah, oh my God, are we?
Speaker 2:going through our stuff on Thursday, but technically today.
Speaker 1:Yes, I did.
Speaker 2:Like that didn't even process in my brain. Well, I think last episode I told everyone on here that we were going to have a couple of weeks left, but things have happened and Lisa's move move date has changed and you know what? It's just a lot.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think it's good to have a couple of weeks left. That's what I'm going to be doing today. You know that's just what I'm going to do, but you know, you know how. You know how much my life is like, could you just not? I went to step on the scale the other day and it's not registering to my phone because the batteries almost dead. And then I went to step on it today to see because I remembered what it was and I'm like I'm going to step on it today and see if, like I actually did lose my pound this week and it doesn't work and it just shows low battery and I'm like that seems about right. Yeah, stepping on the scale for the rest of 2023. I've decided I'm not gonna step on it until January 1st, 2024, when it's like reboot is here. So yeah, battery's dead in my scale, so I won't be doing away.
Speaker 1:In the last way and I have was a 328, which was on. Was it 328 or 324? Hold on, I'm gonna get an accurate number. But this last way, at 324.8, October 31st, was the last official way in on my Renfoe scale on my phone. So, yeah, we'll see how it goes January 1st, cause I am tracking my calories, not to just totally jump into things here, but like I am tracking my calories. I haven't this weekend because like it's just been and insane weekend. That's why I wanted to take a quick shower before getting on to record, because I was like I need to wash this weekend off of me. It wasn't a bad weekend, but it was just such a busy weekend that I was like I need to just hit a reset button. But I'm going to the gym in the morning.
Speaker 2:Ooh, that's nice. I'm really excited, that's awesome.
Speaker 1:I'm not prepared of you. Thank you, that's awesome.
Speaker 2:It hasn't happened yet, but but I'm proud of you for even just saying it, if you are listening to this episode, I have hopefully gone to the gym. Yeah, speaking about basking and things, I'm still basking in Friday night's festivities, seriously, no, I mean I've showered since then, but but okay. So I think I've made it very known that I don't drink. I put away eight or nine coronas on Friday. Oh my gosh, you went with Corona. Just I don't know why it's just I'm like of all the things you could have done.
Speaker 2:I wanted, okay. So, ram, I haven't been to his Christmas party since 2019, or, yeah, 2019. And I drank so much red wine that I don't know what I was saying to people Like and I was the stranger, I don't know these people. And then like, seriously, like loose lips when I drink red wine, you want me to say stuff, like I will say anything. Oh man.
Speaker 1:Oh.
Speaker 2:God, it's bad. Nothing bad came from that, but I just went. You know what doesn't make me fucked up. Corona and I was fine, but like I felt fine, but before we even got home I already started to feel the hangover coming on and that was just a sign that I didn't drink enough water before, which is factual.
Speaker 2:But yeah, all of a sudden, saturday was a write off and today I had to go to physio and then have lunch with my mom and I'm done Like I'm supposed to be cleaning today and I'm just like, nope, that's over. I got my Christmas decorations out of the basement, nice Well, we had to do it before it got dark, cause I have a haunted mirror. I'm pretty sure I've talked about that. We're not going into that again. Yeah, so we got them out and I'm really hoping that whatever's haunting the mirror, though, didn't step over into Santa, cause I have like a mini little Santa that's like taller than Chucky Can you tell I have a fear Mechanical Christmas stuff, like 100% they automatically come haunted.
Speaker 2:And you can't convince me of those ones. This one's not mechanical, but he is like, like I'd say, three feet, maybe four feet, oh wow he's big yeah three feet. Yeah, it's a really tall Santa and like I've always wanted one and my mom got me that for Christmas one year I was like, sweet, now I have one. Now I just need to miss his claws. But however, dolls scare me. He has wrapped in a lot of garbage bags so he can't come out though, just in case.
Speaker 1:So you have him, but he's never out.
Speaker 2:Well, yeah, and he's locked in a storage room like behind lock and key.
Speaker 1:I. We have a like mechanical Santa thing, that's like just one of the little small ones, and its battery died like forever ago. So it took actually it might be Mrs Claus that I'm thinking of, but either way their battery died. So batteries came out and whatnot still sings to this day.
Speaker 2:No, batteries in, it still sings. That's freaky.
Speaker 1:I don't like it. Oh God I think it's because, like, realistically speaking, it's probably because that's like a music box, but the thing that needed the battery was like the candle that they sweat you with kind of thing. But like, at the same time I haven't been able to find a music box. So I don't know if that's just a thought, I have to calm myself or what. But also, so everybody knows, chris called me Friday night to tell, to ask me which shoes to wear, and she looked fantastic for this party. She looked fabulous.
Speaker 2:I didn't get many pictures. I did take one, one of myself, but I have a picture with the cats. I was like let's take a family photo. And that was really hard, just the cats, or with rams, me and Rams and the cats.
Speaker 1:OK, I was like family photo, but not you, rams.
Speaker 2:Just the cats, just the cats. You know, I wanted to say when you were talking about that you're back to tracking and how it's going and everything. Like you have a different spark about you, like the way that you talked about it, like there's just this different.
Speaker 1:I noticed it too, yeah, and.
Speaker 2:I think that's freaking awesome and like, because I was going to talk about myself, but honestly, I'm being a retort, I have nothing fucking good to say and I have no hope, is that?
Speaker 1:because you're home over. Still, if it helps, I ate about four shortbread cookies today, five chocolate bars last night.
Speaker 2:full size OK, but what kind Coffee, chris. I had a Wonder Bar Nice. We got the box of like 16 or 18 from Costco.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah.
Speaker 2:I had a Wonder Bar, a crispy crunch, a caramel and a Mr Big oh. And then, oh, no wait, I have the Snickers today. So I had four yesterday, one today.
Speaker 1:Nice, nice Wonder Bar is so good. Love Wonder Bars. Oh, I had some of my favorite though.
Speaker 2:And we have been getting some takeout. I have been really good still like cooking during the week while I'm at work, which is awesome, because I almost didn't find the time a couple of days and I was like convinced I'm going to do Subway and I didn't. So I am proud, but OK, so OK. Last week when I talked to you and everyone else on here, I said that I had to go out once for one walk before my next counseling session.
Speaker 2:And I have not, and that counseling session was supposed to be tomorrow but it has been canceled because it conflicted with other appointments. I have, right, and I just all I keep telling myself it's like, ok, you have tomorrow, you still have tomorrow and you can go out and do this. And it's just, I don't know what's stopping me. Because do I want to? Yes, do I want to get to the point of doing the gross grind again and going on hikes? Yes, like I have all my reasons why. I know why I want to do this, but my mind, when I want to go do it, my mind's just like but you could?
Speaker 2:just sit on the couch but we could catch up on Gossip Girl that you've already seen 50 times. Yeah, I get that I'm not even on TikTok, Like I'm not even scrolling through social media, Like I'm not doing the zombie move anymore, you know, and I still I'm working against it and I don't know why. It's really weird.
Speaker 1:I need to ask a question because, like this is all I can think about right now. Is it dark outside there?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean yeah not fully dark.
Speaker 1:I'm like it's only fourth, because the corner of your screen it looks like it's like pitch black outside.
Speaker 2:No, no, that's looking. That's a black cardboard that I put up.
Speaker 1:Oh, so there's the sky. Ok, that looks more like 430. Yeah, this black cardboard.
Speaker 2:it used to be all along here, but it's just because when we have the AC hooked up, the blinds stay up, and I don't like that. We look right to the neighbors.
Speaker 1:That's fair. That's fair. Ok, I was like OK, I kept looking, I was listening to you and I'm looking at the time. I'm like it is only 430. Like why is it so dark over there?
Speaker 2:I'm the time that I start work and, like when I leave work, there's darkness. It's like I'm just in darkness a lot.
Speaker 1:I am too, but I'm the opposite.
Speaker 2:I need to remember to take more vitamin D pills Because I'm already vitamin. D deficient.
Speaker 1:That's a good call, Good call. I was just going to say the only thing that I can really like. I thought you were really asking for advice, but the amount of times that we have said like it's momentum not motivation, Like you're just, you're going to stay there until you push it, I mean you know that I need to take that first step, like to breathe the fresh air, to like go for the walk.
Speaker 2:My runners are even in the car, like I just don't even have them near me to even be like just put them on, like no, I'd have to go down to the car and get them. One good thing I'll say is so I was supposed to start it on Tuesday and Tuesday is a work day, so I start work at 4 30. I slept until one and that's not normal. Like normally I will get up at 10 because I go to bed really late. So by Wednesday I go to bed at five in the morning, like four or five in the morning, and I wake up at 10.
Speaker 2:Every day it's right on the dot and then I can't go back to sleep. And most of the time it was like FOMO, you know, and I checked, I checked Tik Tok, and then I couldn't go back to sleep. And on Wednesday I slept until one again and like I even like laid in bed until two and then I got worried that I wasn't going to be able to cook food. That's actually why I almost got takeout was because I slept too much, and that's great for me, because before I was only getting like five hours of sleep, and now I'm getting like a proper eight hours of sleep. So, even though I feel like I'm not doing what I was trying to accomplish by going out on this walk, I am getting more sleep, which is just huge for me.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's fantastic, I feel super sleep, deprived, like. And then I actually felt really important.
Speaker 2:I felt really groggy at work the entire night and I was like but why am I so tired? There's just like because I'm so, so tired and like my body's like, yes, give me more of that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I get that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but yeah, if I need to go for my walk tomorrow, like if I don't, then and I hate using this word then I know, in a way, I have failed, because I have failed my assignment. It was the one thing I had to do and I'm failing the thing I told myself I was gonna do. I told my counselor I was gonna do, and we made it a task and I just, if I'm not gonna do it for myself, I wanna at least do it for saying that I accomplished the thing I said I was going to do, even if it's like last-minuteing it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah done is done. Yeah, cause then maybe next week it won't be as hard Like I'll go out for this walk and go. That wasn't that hard.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, you know what it was that kicked me into gear that it was like I need to go to the gym. We had our, and we had like our count day on Saturday, where it's like everybody goes into the office and we like count, inventory kind of thing, and it's like a big thing that they do. And I ended up running around and helping somebody, like just going bouncing from person to person to person, and I hit like 6,000 steps within like three or four hours. Like it was just go, go, go, go go. And then afterwards I was like I felt so good not sitting around all day and I that's what I'm doing at work, right, like I've returned back to work. I'm at a desk job now With Harper. It was like I'm up doing stuff for Harper, I'm up doing cleaning, I'm up doing cooking.
Speaker 1:I was going for a walk almost daily with Harper, like maybe not daily, but every other day, I would say and it was either around the block or down the road to Tim Hortons and back, or the one time I went for like 5K, that was like that was a stupid fucking day, because I was like you know what? My Zares, it has a Starbucks in it, so I'm gonna walk to that Zares and it was like that day was so freaking hot and there was no shade in the parking lot whatsoever. And I'm walking across the parking lot and at this point I had already been walking for two and a half kilometers and I'm like dying, I'm like this is so hot. And then finally I get there and I'm getting my Starbucks and they're like, oh yeah, we don't do the Zares program here and I'm like then what's the point?
Speaker 1:Yeah, why are you here? I'm spending $5 on a coffee. I deserve free stuff. And I was like at that point I was like this is not worth the 5K walk anymore, like I am not doing it. I will just do my 2K Tim Hortons walk because it would have been worth it if I got my stars. But no stars, forget it. I'm not paying full price for not getting stars. So that was a hard day.
Speaker 1:But getting up and walking around and just reminding me how much I enjoyed moving my body, and even though I wasn't tracking calories and whatnot through the weekend, I was just like you know what? We're just going to get back on moving, because I missed how it felt when I was moving my body. So Good Life is actually doing a promo right now where it's like no enrollment fee, so it's just the week after week thing you have to pay. You don't have to pay that initial $50 or $100 or whatever it is now. So I will probably be switching to them after I move, though I don't want to make changes right now. So I'm plus on top of that. It's like if I'm going to be going to a gym where I'm going to be paying more. Let's prove that I still want to go to the gym and go to the gym that I have. You know what I mean.
Speaker 2:Yeah. So yeah, I canceled my gym membership like six months ago after not using it for a year. I'm like it was only like $11 every two weeks, which was nice because I got a corporate discount. But there's a gym at my work and, honestly, I haven't been to it since being back and I'm like if I'm not willing to go to something that I can easily go to after work, before work or even I'll break, then I'm not going to go to a gym that I have to make my way to, but you've also said on here that you don't like the gym.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, not really. I'd rather go on outdoor hikes and being in the lower mainland. That is easier come wintertime because we are a milder climate, but holy crap, it's really cold. Also, don't feel like going out in the cold, since I have to work outside in the cold all night. Don't really feel like going out there when I don't have to. Yeah, I get that, I don't know, I think I just it's not that. I have to find my motivation. Yeah, I just have to get out there and just do it and eventually it'll come. I just feel like I keep getting depressed randomly, like and I get it seasonal depression and whatever, but it's really my counseling. It's ever since I started opening up about my brother and crap and I've already talked about that, so I won't go into it again. Thank you all so much. I feel depressed like all the time and I think that's a really good reason to not even be on social media all the time.
Speaker 1:Sure.
Speaker 2:Anymore, cause that's so depressing. But then I'm like well, am I depressed because I don't have contact with like the people that I became friends with online now anymore? Right, I don't know. I think I'm just thinking too much about it rather than just enjoying this time of not being on social media. I was supposed to meet up with Sarah. Actually, I was supposed to meet up with two different people this weekend. I had to cancel one of them because of appointments and then Sarah and I were gonna get together but it didn't work out and hopefully next weekend we get together. But that's another problem with me and I will admit it on here. Some this weekend was different cause I actually did have appointments, but I cancel on people because I just don't have the spoons.
Speaker 2:And I don't I don't totally fall it I feel like I have a reason to not have the spoons, though Like I will just be doing nothing and I'm like I just don't want to. Yeah.
Speaker 1:And I hate that, though Still valid.
Speaker 2:But I want to. That's the problem is that I want to, but then all of a sudden my-. Do you want to or do you want to want to? No, like I want to. Okay, for example, one of them was doing crafts with someone that I've met up with already once before, and we were gonna get together and do Christmas crafts Crafts should be my middle name, like I fucking love crafts and hanging out with another person and doing them and like doing the same one. That sounds like just like the greatest thing to me. And yet I get it that appointments got in the way but I could have rescheduled. You know what I mean and I probably will again, but then I find it hard to reach out and to ask again. You know what I mean. Like I don't know, I'm just I'm thinking. I'm thinking about it way too much.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and then it becomes like a vicious cycle, too right, because you're like I really don't have the energy or the mental strength to hang out with people right now. So you cancel. And then a little while later, like you want to reschedule, but you're like, what if I have to cancel again? Like it's just? And then you feel bad because you feel like you're just ditching them and they just. You feel bad that you're hurting them and it's just.
Speaker 1:Honestly, what I've learned is there's a couple of things after talking to some people who are like older than me, it's like there's that group of people who think they have to come up with a lie to no longer hang out with people, versus, like my group of friends and I don't know if this is a generational thing, but this is just what I'm noticing with my group of friends we're very open with that stuff. Like if we just, if we can't do it, we just say I'm sorry, like I really just need to stay home. Like you know what I mean, we're open about it, we get it and at the end of the day, like if your friends don't understand that you need that time for yourself, whether you're going through a whole bunch of stuff or not, like they're not a real friend.
Speaker 2:You know what?
Speaker 1:I mean Like if somebody said to me it's like I'm sorry, I just don't have the strength for it, I'd be like, okay, no problem, I'm here if you change your mind. I'm here if you need to talk, no big deal. You know what I mean. I felt that way a couple of weeks ago. My friend Sammy, she was coming and I hadn't seen her in forever and I was looking forward to it. And the day came and it was that feeling and I'm just like I've been so freaking busy and busy, and busy, like I just wanted some time. But then I realized I'm like she's that friend, that's like you don't have to entertain and you don't have to keep her busy, like we're just gonna sit on the couch and watch movies. And even if she wasn't coming, I would be sitting here and watching movies. So she may as well be here and we just enjoy each other's company. Like you know what I mean.
Speaker 1:So, and I was just, I was open about it, where I was like I really just that's all I needed to do because I just didn't have the energy for it, I don't know. I just really think that your true friends understand when you can't do it.
Speaker 2:I also just hate, like how friends keep coming and going, like I get it through. All my life it's been like that because I've lived somewhat of a nomadic lifestyle and so my friends are all spread out. But, like during COVID, I made some really great friendships and then all of a sudden, that group chat, just stuff happened, you know, and then like all of a sudden none of us talked to each other anymore and I had someone I got on with really well, all this color J. We met actually in someone's live, and then we during COVID we watched all these seasons of shows together. Like we watched. We had never watched vampire diaries before, so we watched them like all the time together. We just did that prime party watch, watch party thing, yeah.
Speaker 2:And then all of a sudden, like I remember something happened with me. I remember I was very depressed and then it was just like O'Rams and I are going to get into some shows or whatever. And then a few months went by and then, like I tried to reach out and then I tried to reach out again and then it was just like I never heard back and it just made me so sad because it was like there's also no closure and I'm like, are we still friends? Or like did something happen, you know? And then, like for me, to be quite honest, like I was always such an extrovert and it's always been so easy for me to make friends, but now I feel like I'm just at that, oh my God, I almost wanted to like cry. It's making me sad. But like, oh God, this is going to sound weird, I'm too tired to make friends anymore and I was always that friend that would make sure their friends stuck together. Oh, sorry, what.
Speaker 1:I don't know what happened. It's not you. Your default speakers changed to speakers. Okay, it changed back. Sorry, there was a technical difficulty on my side. You're good, Sorry continue. It was a horrible time for that to happen.
Speaker 2:No, I forgot what I was saying.
Speaker 1:You said, you were too tired to make friends anymore.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'm just, I'm really I'm too tired to make friends anymore and I was always that friend that would make sure their friends stuck together or would always make sure we got together or would host things or you know whatever. And then, like now, I think I'm just kind of at that point where I want that to happen to me.
Speaker 1:You know like I just want to.
Speaker 2:I want people. It's not this is going to sound weird, but it's like it's not that I don't I want people to force themselves on me, but I do need them. People to be persistent, because or I would just go no, no, no. Like you know, for one, I feel like I'm a burden to people. I don't know why I have this guilt always with me and I feel like if I asked someone to like, I just wish that I knew what people were thinking. You know, it's like I'll ask them to hang out and if someone says no, I immediately am like I'm the problem. You know what I mean. It's not that they're busy, it's like I'm the problem.
Speaker 2:You don't want to hang out with me and maybe maybe people feel that the other way around, or something I don't know. I don't really know what I'm talking about right now. Maybe I'm lonely. I feel lonely with those social media.
Speaker 1:Literally like after I became a mom. It was the same thing for me, like cause I was the host. You know what I mean and I just I don't have time for that now, I can't. Before we continue, I need to restart my computer, okay.
Speaker 2:We all alone, waiting for Lisa to get back. I'm back.
Speaker 1:Hello. Hi, I'm glad I'm not having a good time right now. Her molars are coming in, oh gosh.
Speaker 2:Is she?
Speaker 1:walking yet. No, I mean, if we hold her hand she'll walk, and she'll walk along furniture, but she won't walk freely.
Speaker 2:I think that video that you sent me, that was so cute. There was a technical error. For anyone out there in case, this is a weird transition. Yeah, it was an epic guy. That was weird and also Weird. But I have a month coming, which is great, and hopefully I can keep getting more. They're projected to be on a shortage until March or April, so it could be longer than that.
Speaker 1:That's crazy.
Speaker 2:I'm just contemplating moving my dose down to one until I can, until we can figure it out, because at least like that, that's still something that can still help me. I can't believe I'm actually talking about self Adjusting, like my milligrams, because of a shortage, like it's just. It's weird, and I know a lot of people already had to deal with that or go off it completely. It's just, I'm shocked. It's just shocking. Yeah, it's just insane. So a different note, because that's a bummer Are you nervous at all for the festive season and the snucka, snucka is that we're going to be?
Speaker 1:No, as I said, I had four shortbread cookies today. I've also had three glasses of eggnog because I had to get rid of that carton in my fridge. Yeah, I'm not worried about it. Honestly, I already know January 1st is like go time and we've got like a month left of the year, so it's just going to be as what it is, you know for me?
Speaker 2:Yeah, for sure, I think I'm going to, I'm going to track, I'm going to be mindful, so that the next Christmas season I can strive for better bear.
Speaker 1:I'm definitely doing better than I was last year. I made I easily made over 500 cookies last year and I probably ate a lot of them, so like. And this year this was my first weekend making cookies and I only made one batch of 26 cookies. I ate four of them, but I mean, what are you going to?
Speaker 2:do. Well, the minute that I get the ingredients for those three bites, that I will tell everyone about in just a second. I will not be counting shit Three bites.
Speaker 1:That was three bites. Corey made us these three bites while Chris was visiting in August, because I like hyped them up so much and they were worth the hype. We ate the entire batch, yeah we did. It was like what 30? Was it 30 bites or something like that? It's probably 50. I don't care, and these bites are the size of like cupcake trays, like they're the size of a tart, and we ate all of them.
Speaker 2:They're a bit smaller than a tart A little bit Like the mini tart trays, like the muffin tins.
Speaker 1:He just uses regular muffin tins.
Speaker 2:There's no way. I mean even looking at a picture of it. They look mini. He used regular muffin tins.
Speaker 1:Oh man Well, whatever they were fucking delicious.
Speaker 2:That's all that matters. In the end, who gives a shit how big they were.
Speaker 1:It was so good and it's so gone now, like we have, that's out of our system. Our body has used up that energy. It's gone.
Speaker 2:It's three simple ingredients. It's a crescent roll. Well, they say all purpose flour as well. I guess you put that down so it doesn't stick. But crescent dough sheet, crescent dough sheet, it's like those Pillsbury dough ones, right, is that? What he said is?
Speaker 1:the ingredient? Is that the crescent?
Speaker 2:He just sent me the recipe that he follows.
Speaker 1:Oh, I thought he used like phthalo pastry.
Speaker 2:That's what I'm thinking Okay yeah, maybe that is what he used. The phthalo Is that frozen.
Speaker 1:I think that's what he used.
Speaker 2:Yeah, okay Then, good thing I we talked about this. I actually asked him is it the Pillsbury or is it the phthalo? So crescent dough sheet three cheese, whole berry, cranberry sauce not jellyed, and fresh rosemary springs. That are optional. And here is the way to make it. I will let you know this is not by me and it does say pre-heat oven to 375. Spray a mini muffin tin with cooking spray.
Speaker 1:I don't care what the thing says, I'm telling you what he did Listen, linda.
Speaker 2:And yeah, the thing that they're using on here actually they're using a Pillsbury crescent dough sheet, so I don't know what he did use, but online here it says to use the Pillsbury dough ones that you pop open. That make the little. I'm texting him right now.
Speaker 1:I don't know how quick he'll respond, because it's Sunday and he has dinner with his family.
Speaker 2:Cut the crescent dough roll dough square thing into 24 equal size squares and then you place the squares into the muffin tin slot the mini muffin tin slots and then you cut the brie into small pieces the look she's giving me Cut the brie into small pieces and place them inside the crescent dough squares and then top with a generous spoonful of cranberry sauce. I'm drooling because I'm remembering literally. I felt it in the corner of my mouth as we were talking, and then you finally top each one with a little spring of rosemary.
Speaker 2:It's so good until the crescent dough is light golden brown, which is about 15 minutes, remember, at 375. Oh my God, the picture of them. I'm going to make these next weekend. I'm going to eat every single one of them. I will link this recipe into the description. There was probably no need for me to talk to you about the recipe. You could hear the drool forming in my mouth.
Speaker 1:Those little bubbles that you're hearing pop.
Speaker 2:Oh man.
Speaker 1:I'll share a recipe that I absolutely love. There's been a couple of years where we don't feel like making a big turkey dinner. We don't feel like making a big turkey dinner, so we get, we get buns, and on said buns, we put stove top and then cut up Turkey, the Lilydale Turkey from Costco. We just like microwave it or throw it in the oven or whatever, and then put that on top and then open a can of cranberry sauce and mix it with some mayo and put that on top and squish it together and color it, that's awesome.
Speaker 1:I don't like putting potato on it personally, because you already got like the bread and the stuffing and the blah, blah, blah and I feel like the potatoes a little overpowering, but if you're missing the potato, just like put it on the side.
Speaker 2:Some corn in there, but that's like one of my favorite, like just throw together.
Speaker 1:You know what would make that, even like a 10 out of 10 is instead of a bun make Yorkshire's and stuff the Yorkshire's that way.
Speaker 2:I don't like Yorkshire. Get out of here, go away. This podcast is done. This isn't the last episode of the show. It's the last episode forever. Sorry. You also call it dressing and not stuffing. No, you Isn't that. Remember that argument. I've heard of both.
Speaker 1:But I call it stove top, because it's really neither.
Speaker 2:I'll never forget. My reaction to that Was that this year, cause that should be on a clip. Oh no, that was like Definitely stuff, the bird.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, I like both. I'm not going to lie, I like both If it's outside, if it's in, if it's in the kitchen, if it's outside, if it's in, if it's inside it's stuffing. I usually say stuffing, but if it's outside it's dressing.
Speaker 2:Did you buy anything for Black Friday? Yeah, we're moving.
Speaker 1:We got a new bed. We both got new desks Wow I mean. But we needed it right. Like I, in the new job that I'm in, I don't have the space, but I got a standing desk, oh nice. I don't think I'm gonna go full out and get the treadmill, but I did like when I worked outside and like, yes, steer, why are we turning around? You thought about getting a treadmill. It's technically a walking pad.
Speaker 2:Yeah, one of those ones from Amazon that don't have, like the arms and stuff, yeah, except you know.
Speaker 1:I don't even go on the treadmill with it. Like I have to hold on when I'm on the treadmill because I don't trust that shit. So like getting a walking pad while I'm working.
Speaker 2:You get a bicycle thing underneath your desk.
Speaker 1:Oh, that's a good idea. Yeah, I like that idea, anyway. So there's that you don't get a bicycle.
Speaker 2:If it's a standing desk, your desk could be high enough that you could just bike, so you're actually still sitting and just bike whenever. True, true, true I've always wanted a standing desk I was looking at like an exercise ball chair thing.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:There is. You just reminded me where. Oh, there it is. I was like where's my exercise ball? The standing desk. I saw a desk, even on Amazon, and it's an L shaped and it's on sale for like 135 right now. So I was like Rams, please get this for me for Christmas. That's all. I want that and a computer desk chair, because this is actually his yeah.
Speaker 1:Brandon's gonna throw that one out and take this one and I'm getting a new one and I want to get like a nice, classy looking one, so nice, so you to get some stuff.
Speaker 2:I bought a cruise, oh nice For my mom and I, and I actually told her today. I said which is really funny if people have heard me talk about my mom but yes, my mom and I are going on a cruise together in May. It was a really good deal that I got. And, yeah, I told her and she was highly shocked, because you also have to remember that I'm the kid that, like I just I just moved around all the time Like minimum wage, I couldn't afford shit, and then now all of a sudden I'm like I bought you a trip, let's go.
Speaker 1:Not that I'm rolling in it.
Speaker 2:I don't want to paint that picture. Anyone out there definitely not rolling in it, definitely paying this off.
Speaker 1:Even like how much your mom has spoken to you about money. Like it must have felt good to be able to fucking great, but you have never sounded more Canadian. Honestly except for the time where we're both like your hoser.
Speaker 2:If Ken is listening right now, he's like so happy about the Canadianness, but then he's also like what the hell? Because he's heard a lot of them.
Speaker 1:I think it's so funny how, like that, like we don't notice the Canadianess of us until like it's there, you know what I mean. Like all of a sudden. It's like hope there is.
Speaker 2:Calm down. I always notice it when I'm drinking because, especially when I'm around people that aren't Canadian. So one of my best friends and I when we were living in BAMP she's Aussie, I'm obviously Canadian and we'd be walking and things would happen and all of a sudden I'd be like oh yeah, I just know what I'd say. And then, like one time I heard wrestling and bushes and I'm like it's a fucking bear and we were snap chatting at the time and you can just hear her Aussie-ness reacting to the possibility of there being a bear and me being all like Canadian. It's just like the funniest shit ever. We're waking up the next day to all these weird snaps. Like God, there was probably just like a gopher in bushes or something.
Speaker 1:I oh shit my bear. So I almost picked for one of my clips that wasn't actually going to be one for this year. I was going to pick the one of where we're talking to Ken and I said to well, he was like talking about those like vegan chicken nuggets and I was like, oh yeah, those are good. And he like froze and he's like yeah.
Speaker 1:Kind of like sorry, the Canadian came out. He's like, oh, I thought you did that on purpose. I'm like, no, it just happens, A comes out of my mouth all the time. And we've actually been teaching Harper. I think mom actually does it because happy days, not actually because of a Canadian thing, but she goes hey, and she goes hey.
Speaker 2:It's so stinking cute. I actually don't even remember what I said to you because even though, like I was putting on a bigger reaction because I was that excited, those words just naturally came out. So I don't even know what I said. I think probably.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, what were we talking?
Speaker 2:about, though I don't remember it's exciting man.
Speaker 1:We have really bad memories Like was it when I said to dip it in gravy?
Speaker 2:Oh, I don't know, I don't think that was it, but that sounds solid. Did you just have to die? Hurt your ears?
Speaker 1:It's been one of my headphones to fall off. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2:I like gravy. I did just buy that slow roasted beef that comes in the two packs from Costco that you can find. Oh my God, you haven't had these. Just by the way, I'm going to I'm actually going to write Costco an email about them getting rid of our cottage cheese Cheese.
Speaker 1:Hold on.
Speaker 2:It's not just that. Wait, hold on one second. It is different cottage cheese. I opened it up and I'm like no, you did not Like this isn't as? I am really upset, like at least now we get it for only $7.50. But I want my three pack. I'm going to write an email. I'm going to show you the beef. Okay, yeah, show me the beef?
Speaker 1:Where's the beef?
Speaker 2:My legs stopped working.
Speaker 1:Have you been drinking again?
Speaker 2:I'm never drinking again, okay.
Speaker 1:Oh, I've seen that there. I've never had it.
Speaker 2:It's good Not for your whole family, because like they you'd get almost like no beef, but it's like good for like two people in one leftover Right, in my opinion. We like beef, so we're going to eat a lot of it, you know.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:If you only have like a tiny, tiny portion, then you can have it for four people. It's soft, it melts and you're only putting it in the oven for like 30 minutes for everyone at home. That can't see what I did. It's 44th street slow braised beef pot roast in rich gravy. I melt Costco.
Speaker 1:Canada, because Costco Canada and US have different stuff.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I went to Instacart two days ago to get some stuff and all of a sudden I was like what's all this new stuff? It had me logged in with a US postal code and I got so excited, especially with the prices. I was like something awesome happened here. No, it's just, I'm Canadian and I thought I was American.
Speaker 1:They have that brand of chicken that's that's really popular in the States the Tyson chicken. Is that what it is? Yes, I see people in the weight loss community have it all the time and I wish we had it here because it looks great. They have dino nuggets. Do you know how hard it is to have dino nuggets up here?
Speaker 2:Very, I see uncrustables all the time now, by the way, and I'm like I feel like I need to just get them. So I know you still haven't tried them. No, because I'm like I see them at Costco and I'm like I don't think I'm committed enough to get a Costco sized one.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we are. I buy them from Costco. So the funny you say that because I was just about to say it specifically says on the instructions do not put them in the toaster. You just take them out of the freezer for like 30 to 60 minutes and then eat them. I have been putting them in the toaster because I ain't got no time for that and it is delicious. The main reason they don't want you to put in the toasters because they don't want the jam and the peanut butter. Oh, Corey says just the croissant. Oh, the croissant rolls.
Speaker 2:Yeah, oh, interesting Nice.
Speaker 1:Anyways, they don't want you to put in the toaster because they don't want the jam and the peanut butter to get too hot and then when you bite it you burn your mouths right. So they have to say do not put in the toaster. I have put in the toaster as of late and it is delicious. Just pinch the seams together before you cut the squares.
Speaker 2:Oh, okay, Sorry that took a second for me to figure out what you can all use to tell you about.
Speaker 1:Pastry would probably work fine, though. Okay, so we should wrap this one up. We should, because we've got a lot to talk about on the other one. All right, thanks for hanging out with us this year. I mean, you have one more to listen to. That's our actual wrap up, but this was a wrap up of you listening to our problems, so thanks for sticking around to that.
Speaker 2:We'll see if they're the same problems next year. Yay Bye.
