I came here because of thumbnail. Wanted to see recipe for "on air" lights.
The "comment positivity" segment is a favorite because it really is the essence of Atomic Shrimp, as a person, channel and community.
Aside: I giggled so hard at the whole "freezing then boiling water...it's a good plan, it would work, but probably not in my lifetime" thing.

You're absolutely right about enjoying the little things - I've changed my route home from the shops to walk past a garden in the neighbourhood where a friendly dog lives, on the off chance that I get greeted and asked for pets through the fence.
I do similar with a cat...
I have much the same situation, I hike to work 2 miles each way, most of it thru the forest, but in my neighborhood lives a Yellow Labrador named Rocky. He ambles over to the sidewalk and refuses to let me pass until I pay the "Rocky Tax" which is either some hearty pets, or a couple tosses of his favorite deflated soccer ball. Seeing him makes any morning far brighter, and never fails to cheer me up.
I have a charming neighbor dog. Sleek little black pug who always woofs a greeting even if it's 05:30 and he's inside. It always makes my day to actually see him and give him some pets. His person is also very nice.😊
I do similar with a house who's occupant sells cannabis. It's always nice when he's in ;)
@@steammachine3061 haha, you surprised me with that one after reading the others above
I never gave my father much attention when he planted the vegetable garden. But I'll watch a stranger on UA-cam do the same thing 50 years later. Hmmm...
This is what making me learn from my father right now lol
One thing that I noticed is that when Shrimp is talking to the audience, he uses the singular "you", rather than something like "you guys". I don't know if it's something he does intentionally, but it gives a sense that he is talking specifically to me. It makes the already cozy atmosphere that much more intimate feeling. I especially love these random stuff videos, it's like getting a glimpse into a slice of Shrimp's life.
I don't know where you are from, but in British English, we tend not to add anything other to the second person plural other than context. In parts of Scotland they pluralise it to "yous", but that's about it.
English do not say you guys... Obviously lol
@@jitaamesuluma9730 y'all
I read crow garlic and clicked so fast. You mentioned once that it tastes almost meaty, and ever since, I forage and eat this stuff daily. I would have never come to that meaty conclusion.
Love your channel.
Nothing beats coming home from a hard day's work and being able to kick off the work boots and sit down with an Atomic Shrimp video. What might seem like a boring, mundane thing to talk about can be something wonderous and heartwarming to us viewers. The joys of cooking and gardening cannot be overestimated, both taking something simple and turning it into something amazing.
I'm currently having a bit of a rough one due to some medical issues, but these videos are always a real treat. Really helps to take my mind off things.
I hope things improve and you feel very much better soon.
I've always wanted one of those On Air lights connected to the lock on my lavatory, a fun way to avoid all the awkwardness of "*knock* is anyone in there?" "sorry, just a minute!" at what can be quite a personal time.
You could also switch out your light switch. There are ones that light up, if they're in the 'on' position.
Unless there's enough daylight in there, so people wouldn't use it during the daytime.
We have that in a shared flat and it's super useful. You know right away, when the bathroom is already being used by someone.
That would be so epic if it was linked somehow to the door lock to complete the circuit...
Loos on planes have those so I guess it’s possible!
The home of one friend has hotel-style "Do Not Disturb" doorknob hangers for each bathroom. Inexpensive and effective.
I do find the "On Air" light idea very attractive, though.
@@kathrynillsley7557My office restrooms have deadbolts that show "occupied" on the outside when someone's thrown the bolt inside. It's way better than accidentally walking in on your boss...
One of the few youtubers I watch that I see interacting with the comment section on a regular basis. I always enjoy these little corners of the internet where discourse is polite and friendly.
Just wanted to say thank you to my favourite UA-camr. I so look forward to Fridays and Saturdays. Love to you, Jenny and Eva from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada!
Same here, I always look forward to it! My favorite UA-camr by far. Greetings from Nova Scotia Canada!
We should connect!
The Lincoln Imp is really hard to spot. I grew up in Lincoln, and visited the cathedral many times, and usually still struggled. They have a light that shines on it when you insert a coin. Nice little money maker!
Mike, I really like the "random stuff" videos and especially like the comment positivity segments. Please keep them up!
I always love your comment positivity segments! It's great to see you listen to and appreciate your community and see how you take the comments to heart in upcoming videos.
I love your videos. You educate, entertain, and are just a joy to watch while being "down to earth". Like you are a "just" a "normal" guy. It really calms me down after a stressful day. Thank you!

i just sown Crow garlic at my old newly bought tiny farm. eggs and crow garlic is a tradition in may here . normally it grows wildly around all older houses here but now i planted several types of crow garlic . and found some local old ones as well i could have tufts from .. i love garlic
Your very own farm! Lucky bastard. Congratulations. Immediately start planning the garden and buy fruit tree seedlings.
As the Chinese proverb goes: The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The next best is today.
@@captainp.2721 Thx from above the Arctic circle : 24/7 sun here in summertime :) Got a lot berry trees already and a lot of veggies and different leeks on sprout right now. this cheap farm is located above the Arctic circle in Vesterålen Northern Norway , apple trees can manage here by the coast as we don`t get the cold winter like back at the inland "back" you will understand when looking at the Lofoten and Vesterålen map norway .. Fresh Cod and chips on my doorstep .
Ooh, nice location!
Lykke till med hagen!

One thing that dawned on me with the jam portion comment - a more flavoursome jam I will often use slightly less as the flavour goes further. But a 'weaker' jam I use more of. Interesting that the portion size may change based on flavour, this making the more expensive one the same price per portion.
Sadly, fingers don't seem to recover 100% when broken or dislocated. I dislocated the middle finger on my left hand when I was a teenager and it is now ever so slightly fatter than the equivalent finger on my right hand, particularly around the bigger knuckle where the injury happened. I cannot bend it as fully as the right one and it does feel a little stiff particularly in certain types of weather. Fortunately it doesn't make much if any of a difference lifestyle wise. Just another little reminder of those battle scars we accumulate as life goes on.
A whole new idea! "Does it FRITTER?"
Nice....
I was wondering if that was a thing in UK. Someone decided to try deep frying Mars bars on that side of the pond. I wonder what else fritters...👨🏼🍳👩🏽🍳
@@bethenecampbell6463we also deep fry Cadbury creme eggs. Well to be fair, it's a specifically Scottish thing. But still.
We have pineapple fritters, boxty (Irish potato fritters) and most welsh/West Midlands chip shops sell deep fried bread, but that's about it. We're a bit too boring too fry too much.
I love your content, bro. I found you years ago through your scam-baiting antics in high school. Now I've got a degree and job, and I still get so excited with each new upload and rewatch of old videos. You bring a great deal of comfort, entertainment, and, perhaps most importantly, knowledge to myself, my family, and all your viewers.
Great episode as usual. Watching your videos always gives me a vacation from myself. Your videos show up early in the morning where I am and I make myself wait ‘till after the evening meals is all cleaned up to watch
Lovely video, as always. As for the Asaro fritters, when my parents made chicken soup with root vegetables and herbs, after a few days - if everyone's got tired with it - they would fish out the solids (chicken, veggies and herbs), chop them, add an egg or two, and make fritters or a crustless pie/quiche. Always gave new life to an old soup
When I was an engineer for our local hospital station we just had two 60W incandescent bulbs in batten holders on the ceiling, one blue for rehearse and another red one for on air. The microphone live lamps were home made and just consisted of wooden boxes with a couple of lamps inside rather like this, and it lit up when a microphone fader was open.
We also had two 200W pearl lamps for the two phone lines, when the phone rang, several kW of light flooded every room in the place, operated from mercury relays out in the engineering workshop..! We never missed a phone call, I'll say that much 🤣
TYSM for including my Herby Flowers comment! Love abvsolutely everything you produce, Legend
I feel so happy watching mr. Srimp. Thank you for taking the time to share your day to day.
When Mr Shrimp started watering the guava plant it looked for a split second like an entirely different kind of watering was happening and it gave me a good laugh. 😂
As soon as you said the porridge had set I thought oooh slice it and fry it like polenta 👍🏻
I always love your gardening clips. I also think it's so cool how two of your hobbies contrast each other so much, ie nature and computers, which are man-made. You really inspire me.
35:30 I bet that thing is using the 50Hz from the mains as a clock signal which feeds (with a bit signal conditioning maybe) directly into the counter. That thing just counts the 0.02sec clock and some of the bits of the output are fed into the logic gates to create the functions of the table. Counters are great not only for counting but also dividing. The lowest bit toggles with every clock, the second bit toggles with every 2 clocks, the third every 4 clocks, etc. With an 8 bit counter running at 50Hz the top 4 bits will flip every 0.32, 0.64, 1.28 and 2.56 seconds. Add some logic and you can get that table in the manual.
Electronic digital clocks don't use the mains frequency for timing, only old mechanical clocks using synchronous motors do it. In theory yes you could but it would be extra cost and complexity to add a zero cross detector over a cheap quartz oscillator. The flicker is simply because the display is multiplex scanned.
The on air light is familiar to me. I work 50 years in broadcasting here in new Zealand. There were a couple of different ways they were controlled. If one was placed outside a conrol room, it would likely been manually switched, most likely by the producer's assistant. If it was outside an announcer's booth, or studio area, the control would come from switches on the audio desk microphone channels, so would come on when the Mics were live. In the instance of flashing, an option would/may be steady when '"On Air" and flashing when "On Air" with Mics live. Not sure of the latter but would make sense.
I go pawpaw hunting every fall in Ohio, the fruit is yummy, but does not keep very long at all, not even a day, some folks make jam. The critters get most of the fruit, and drop the seeds all over the place, helping to keep the trees growing. Most of the trees here stay some what small, but I guess they can get large. Love seeing your garden, we have a little while yet before planting time in Ohio,,,,I can't wait!
The pawpaw trees grow near the tow path of what remains of the canal. They are an interesting tree to grow and the fruits are edible. They taste somewhat like a banana. It may be an acquired taste but most often is that either you love them or you hate them. There seems to be no middle ground when it comes to the pawpaw fruit. Have fun with your tree if you decide to grow one.
Thank you Mike a most varied and interesting vlog Happy Easter weekend .x
We have a few pawpaw trees in our yard! I go out with a q-tip to make sure they get pollinated myself, though I don't know if they actually need the help.
I've heard some... dubious advice that one should hang strips of raw bacon from the branches to attract pollinators. No thanks.
The fruits are very tasty, a banana is the closest comparison but there are elements of pear, mango, and vanilla in there as well. I've heard the flavor can vary wildly between cultivars though.
Have you ever been a chef? You have great knowledge of ingredients and use them superbly. You've given me and my partner allot of tips and tricks over the years.
I'm just an enthusiastic amateur!
@AtomicShrimp it's inspiring :)
Looking forward to seeing how the vegetables turn out. Looks like a great set up.
I grew up around Lincoln, it's windy around the cathedral due to all the buildings around it. It's like a wind tunnel 🤣
I lived in Lincoln during my undergrad and I'm going back regularly now for my PhD and yep, super windy up that hill. Doesn't help that it's basically the highest spot in the entire county.
Glad to see you are out in your garden. Here in Northern Ontario, on the Canadian Shield, it's still quite cold, too cold to be out gardening. We can still get overnight frosts and sometimes snow. I miss the mild winters of England.
The only place I have found crow garlic was in some dunes on the North Kent coast in the summer, the bulblets on the flowers is what caught me next to no leaves left. Hopefully I'll find some more this year and try collect seeds / bulblets.
I'm yet to plant anything I broke my wrist in February The cast comes off tomorrow, hoping to grab some compost on the way home. Take care Mike.
Glad you filmed the opening of the rock 😊
More advice for you about pawpaws if you're interested. I have two that I got as grafted varieties. If it's possible for you to get a grafted tree of a known variety, those will give you better tasting fruit. I imagine that might be pretty difficult in the UK though! Wild seedlings will still be edible, they just have a *lot* more seeds and taste is quite variable. As well growing a tree from seed, will take much longer to produce fruit. They say around 7 years. Young pawpaws also need shade when they're young as they are susceptible to sunburn. But when they're more mature they will do well in full sun. There's another channel I watch and she does permaculture, and also has several videos about her pawpaws (parkrose permaculture). It's interesting to hear you talk about pawpaws as a non-native tree, because here people are so excited about them because they are native lol. Good luck with your gardens! Everything looks great so far!
Mike - I don't mean to be blowing your trumpet or anything... BUT you've changed the way my household works! .... I've always been very frugal and creative in the kitchen but for at least the last year I've had a "veg bones" box in my freezer! It sounds insignificant but it really isn't!, every week I now actively collect "veg bones" and real bones then whack them in my ancient pressure cooker and whip up a stock thats very versatile throughout the week - be it for a pasta / passata mix, a base gravy for a curry or simply the base of a ste-oup thing... Simple things like that are an absolute game changer!
Absolutely love these videos thank you so much for the consistent and consistently captivating content 👏🫡
I'm having sauteed button mushrooms with onion and nettles in scrambled eggs
these videos are like comfort food
Thanks for the lesson on Paw Paw trees. I've been wanting to plant some here on our farm and now I understand that I need more than one to get fruit. I'm in Michigan USA btw.
Bought two baby pawpaw trees in 2007. The smaller one had only three leaves. They´ve been producing (lots of) fruit since about the start of the pandemic.
Hey, where I'm from in New Zealand, Feijoas are a huuuuge deal. For proper fruiting it has always been said to have at least two or three plants together. My parents actually planted two around that size some 10 years ago and they've not done a lot even though just nextdoor a hedgerow of them gives off fruit in profusion. Hope this helps but experimentation is part of the fun of gardening!
Always a pleasure, never a chore! ❤
I have sooo much crow garlic in my yard and surrounding area. It always sticks out to me ever since watching your foraging vids.
For some reason I just really love the term "lumpy DC".
Fiejoas are really popular in New Zealand, i miss them a lot. Most are self-fertile, but it's worth checking, and i think cross polknation can be helpful. I only have a tiny yarden but Im going to reaearch whether they can grow in pots here now youve kindly told me they do grow here. Thank you!
I will have crowe garlic on the balkony this year and can't wait to taste it. Risotto with the onions and pesto with the leaves is the plan.
Feijoas (pineapple guava) can be something of an acquired taste. We grow them here in New Zealand (and have to fight the possums to get to them first!) I tend to use them in a crumble - much as you would apple, but with crushed peanuts added to the topping. Or in a spiced feijoa cake - absolutely delicious! I am going to be interested to see how well they do there in Dorset, given that we had a challenge growing them in Dunedin! The flowers are absolutely stunning, almost along the lines of a bi-coloured bottle brush, and they are fragrant.
I had one at the first house we bought, many years back, but I never saw it fruit - it flowered just before we moved out. The flowers are edible so I had to make do with one of those - the white petals are oddly chewy, like marshmallow or something
Had a pineapple guava tree in San Diego, CA in our back yard. So tasty! As a kid I would just pick up the unspoiled ones from the ground and sort of pinch them open to slurp out the sweet insides. Great snack. We would also buy prepared guava paste from Tijuana (sold in a block) and eat that with soft cheese and crackers. Good stuff.
If your saskatoon plant (serviceberry) is budding now, they probably are flowers. My serviceberry flowers first then puts out leaves.
Mr. & Mrs. Shrimp gardening together is real wholesome 😊
I really enjoyed this and was taken way back to when I sold lighting. A company called Columbia Lighting had this and other emergency lighting. Only ever sold on “on air” light to a guy from a band recording at home. Wonder if he’s still using it.
What a small world we live in, Canford Audio who made the 'On Air' light is just behind Washington services on the A1M (North-bound) and just a couple of hundred yards from my house!
One of the major components that is different in crow garlic is the presence of vinylguaiacol which should add a smoky/woody/resin taste. The sulphides vary as well but they are probably all garlicky/oniony.
If you did the fried asaro like we did with fried cornmeal mush you dredge the slices gently in flour on both sides.It makes a nice crust.Beautiful omelet.Sounds like Crow garlic is similar to what is called Chinese Chives in flavor.Allium tuberosum.I loved Broad Bean flowers back in Texas but shallots wouldn't grow.Hardneck garlic and Welsh Onions were very lively though.I prefer the broad white and green chard.Less pretty more tasty.Sliced up and fried in a little olive oil and seasoned with Lemon Pepper.Yum.It is better to spread out roots,they are tougher than you think.I have had flooding rains float a planted potbound plant right out of the hole I put it in while trying to establish it.Cool info about pawpaws.Never tasted one.
Thanks for including an image of the triloba flower, saved me a search.
Pineapple guava is probably my favorite fruit. We used to have a hedge of them. You’ll enjoy them. Cheers from Georgia USA
Edit: and paw paws are my dad’s favorite fruit. He planted a bunch all over our old property in South Carolina. If you decide to go with them and manage to get them to fruit they’re delicious. They taste like a tropical custard. They should like the edge of the woods.
Largest native tree fruit in North America I believe
Fun fact
I missed the paw paw discussion on the earlier video. Paw paws grow wild here in Missouri where I live, but they can be tricky to find if you don't already know where they are, and the fruits are only ripe for a very short time. We finally discovered some in the woods behind our house, but it was too late to get any that year as the fruit was too far gone. So we waited with anticipation for a whole year, and started checking as we got close to the right time until we found some ready to eat. We very happily sat down to enjoy our first taste of the elusive paw paw, only to decide we don't much care for them. They have a taste that is best described as cloying, like an overripe melon mixed with overripe banana. I froze some pulp and intend to try making a muffin or quick bread, but I'm not sure how well it will go over.
The taste varies a lot apparently, with some even tasting like sweet potato, so I wouldn't give up on them. Ripeness is a key factor. Most of the individuals I've tried have had a creamy mango taste with some vanilla pudding/custard, banana, and/or pineapple vibes.
I live in ohio, and finally found some last year. I used them in a fermented hot sauce. I had always wanted a bit of banana flavor in a sauce after making a mango sauce, but banana doesn't ferment well. Paw paws fit that role really well. My botanist friend is attempting to grow some now from the seeds. I understand now why local restaurants love them so much. They're great as an ingredient in other dishes.
I do like my bananas and melons on the ripe side, so I think I am up for this fruit.
Also the texture looks like they might make a decent egg replacement in cakes
In Southern Indiana knowledge of the location of a pawpaw patch is a family secret almost as closely guarded as that of a morel mushroom (hickory) log or a 'sang run on a hillside. A clue to a knowing eye was spotting a grapefruit spoon -- the kind with serated edges -- in the breast pocket of a spelunker or fossil hunter. One knew they knew where a snack was to be found if the deer didn't beat them to it!
Always enjoy your videos, for an odd reason, enjoyed the wasted effort on the little rock, a sort of allegory representing life I suppose, keep it up, appreciated!
The way you cooked the asaro reminded me a lot of when leftover polenta sets into a block and then you can slice and fry it the same way you did.
The only time I've ever heard of a rock splitting, is when you use river rocks to build a fire pit
In a similar vein, in the Southern US, we typically fry sweet potatoes as a side with certain dishes. In my family, they were always sliced thinly and shallow fried, accompanying fried spot (a type of whitefish) and rice.
Thanks for another great video. My son got me one of those lights (ex BBC) with 'recording' on it - which now sits by the door of my studio :) He fitted a few rows of 12v LED strip in it as the light source, which works well and makes it very convenient and safe to use.
I've read on rockhounding forums that a cheap tile saw from harbor freight or equivalent does a pretty decent job of cutting open rocks.
Love these long video's, thanks shrimp ❤
Ive got another 2 months before i can plant anything here in Newfoundland...i planted my potatoes in late May two years in a row, and both years the frost killed back their leaves. Luckily they are hardy plants.
I do the IT for a local station, ironically they don't have one of these, but they do have a locked door with another door inbetween.
They only broadcast a small amount from the studio for the daily shows. The rest of the shows are done remote.
Good thing I had a coffee and my lunch while watching this video. The first two dishes looked great. Always love the random stuff vids. This one was another winner to be sure.
Just wanted to express my gratitude for your videos again. They never fail to brighten my day :) keep up the interesting little things!
Yaaaayyy it really is a good Friday 🐣
That coastal cheddar is one of my favourites, it's strong with the crystals, which add a bite. It's quite hard to find near me.
I love the closing music on this one: like Jack Hargreaves's theme but jauntier
I really enjoy your videos and appreciate you ❤
Good luck with the finger, it can definitely take a while. I broke mine on my right hand back in 2011 (dropped my motorbike on it in the world's slowest crash - with a brand new learner car driver!). It took an annoyingly long time to heal up, I found the "floppy" stage the most annoying and actually used to stick an elastic band round it at times to stop it sticking out and getting caught (and maybe broken again)!. Despite doing all the exercises, mine never quite lined up, and for example won't locate on its "home" key on a keyboard. I also seem to have altered how I use my wrist a little, which may or may not have made me more prone to overuse injury of the elbow tendons (but I get that anyway, so who knows). But none of it is a big deal and I don't think about it any more. I would say it took most of a year to be back to 99%, so be patient!
went on holidays, our shallots are doing great, the peas are pretty OK, but there were two warm days, and our small tomato and chilli seedlings died. 😭
Ah, well. We will sow again tomorrow. The weather will be fine,and we will spend time in the garden!
Crow garlic omelette! In Japan we have the related _Allium macrostemon_ even in my garden so I could try something similar.
Regarding that fossil, I actually have at least one ammonite fossil that is quite like that. It is obviously an ammonite but when my dad ground it down with a file, there was only grey sandy stone inside (the same thing that embedded it), no patterns or shell or anything. It comes from a collection of fossils I collected (with help from a local geologist) during a school journey to the Isle of Wight more than 30 years ago.
I'm once again wowed by the amazing variety that you have on this channel. As a result, I was wondering what your general approach is when making videos/projects, given many of them have widely varying topics and timeframes. I assume that you often have multiple ideas being worked on simultaneously? And if so, how do you manage to keep track of everything and make things organised enough so that most will eventually get completed?
"Because i like it" is the best reason to enjoy a food. Have you heard of the concept of Intuitive Eating? I found it last year and it has gone well for me

Note: That extra device on the input is likely a MOV (Metal-Oxide Varistor). It will be wired across the two inputs to suppress transient voltage spikes (possibly caused by switching two 100w globes on and off repeatedly, given the age of the device).
The comment about the jam tasting reminds me of the concept of "opportunity cost" in the field of economics. It's basically what you forgo in order to invest your energy or money in to something
Nearly on 1m views. I've used wild garlic leaves to wrap fish and in salads, its good. Can also mix it in stews to help thicken too
The white and black connector blocks on the Canford unit both unplug, no need to undo the screws. The X2/Y2 capacitors are filter caps, X and Y mean it's safety rated , X is rated for connection between L and N and Y for connection between L/N and Earth.
Here's hoping the vege works out as well as you'd like. Looking forward to seeing them in a future video.
If you have a Holm Oak, then I believe that is the species that carries the (more) edible acorns. I mean all acorns are theoretically edible, but most contain harmful amounts of tannins. Holm Oak acorns, I have read, are more palatable with less preparation than other kinds. I'd be interested to see if that were true.
In the UK, the Laurel is Hardy...
That's correct. I've eaten them before. This tree didn't produce much last year but oaks have what they call a Mast Year every so often where they produce tons of acorns
@@AtomicShrimp - Thanks for that, Mike, and thank you for another fascinating video. I love these bits and bobs type of videos. Great start to the weekend! 👍👍👍

Its Saturday morning here in Australia. I had to pause this video and go make an omlette. :D
FINALLY! I was so busy for so long a while back, my youtube backlog piled up 60+ videos. I'm just now getting to the good stuff lol 😅
