    The cake looks amazing! In Italy, the 6th of January is La Befana, so Felice Befana! But as I am in Washington DC, apparently it is ‘coup by crazy-people’ day. To that I say, I’d like to cancel my subscription to 2021. I’ve experienced the 7-day trial and I’m not interested. Done, next! 🙄

    I’ve been pandemmy-bingeing your vlog (seasons 1-3) and it’s really lovely to see how you’ve evolved. From struggling on tips to having your mug on a bag of locally roasted Parisian coffee!

    Hi, good morning. Looks like I missed whole bicycle drama, but I am happy that you are happy. If this is an electric bike than, WOW very slick, and the battery place is very slim, good riding. Other excellent thing I noticed how nicely you found fulfillment of your social needs, sharing your lunch with others, bringing small groups together. Very nice. yes, it is different but great. I see that through my daughter - young adult, Before jumping into any relationship comes along, now I hear her ( she is in her room) meeting people on zoom, watching movies together, playing amongus , taking time to learn about people, isn't that the base of long and lasting relationship everybody wants and long. you are very caring person but I am sure you will find a true better half. meantime enjoy.

    I love Galette des Rois too. Always make one on New Years Eve. Didn’t know it was meant to be eaten at Epiphany shhhh don’t tell the French ! Enjoyed reading that gentleman’s paper over his shoulder on the Metro. Am always doing that on the tram here lol.

      Bringing meals is sharing with friends. It super cool, and sweet. I think it’s a combination of generosity and self care.

    Glad to see you finally got the bike. Did @Vanmoof even offer anything to make things right after this long ordeal (e.g. extend the service coverage even further, etc). I suspect not but I am glad to hear there have been improvements on the local customer service at least. Enjoy your well earned Vanfourth!

    Galette des Rois - a great cake if you like almond paste
    I have all the ingredients to make one and so this afternoon
    will be baking a vegan Galette des Rois.

      That pasta recipe looked delicious!!!
      Just one thing though, pasta should be cooked in a lot more water 😋 At least that is what Italians always insist upon ; don't know if it changes the taste in any way though... I've never tried with little water

    Yay on the bike! You should be sponsored by Hello Fresh, your final product looks as good as the picture (I'm now craving eggplant). I'd give up being vegan for an hour for a slice of that cake! It looked so good!

    Salut Jay, ça va? I am glad you enjoyed your galette des rois. I LOVE a delicious galette! What? No crown? At the pâtisserie where I got my delicious galette (courtesy of Miss Madeleine pâtisserie in Manhattan), I made sure I left with 2 crowns....the pâtissier (French, him and his wife are from Guadeloupe) said there was only 1 crown included in my order, so I made sure I got another one (j'ai raqué 1$ for the extra one), non mais attends ;) Yesterday, it was my first time celebrating la galette in the comforts of my own home (which I share with my younger brother and his girlfriend). She got la fève, becoming la Reine and hence coronated my brother. All in good fun! I'm used the galette tradition, it was an annual fun celebration at my last job for the last 14 years (I worked for a French-owned receptive tour operator/sightseeing company based in Times Square, as an operations / reservations manager, catering to the French market, bon je ne vais pas rentrer dans tous les détails. Before that job, I celebrated la galette on and off. Bon enfin bref, I am glad you got your vélo back! Happy riding! Stay safe et bon week-end!

    @sylviebasyl2835 3 роки тому

    reheat the galette des rois for a few minutes in the oven before tasting it. It's better. Preheat your oven to 150 ° C then turn it off. Place the galette in the oven off for 5 to 10 minutes

    Could someone have accidentally swallowed the little figure in the galette and then was too embarrassed to admit it? :-)

  • @maobfh
    @maobfh 3 роки тому +1

    Forgive a relatively old woman her urge to teach? Sorry in advance and here's hoping that I am not developing some unusual compulsive disorder late in life as the itch to say something about absolute minutiae in an extraordinary looking lunch prep is disconcerting. And I was never a professional chef, cook or culinary expert. So, again, I am sorry. I noticed some of the pasta on the inside side of the pot, getting roasted but not cooking in the water with the rest. Maybe (Maybe!) 2 noodles. When you pour/place pasta, fresh or dry, in the boiling water you want to give it a quick stir. Just spin the spoon/ladle/fork/claw around the pot one or two spins. That pushes all of the pasta into the water so that it all cooks evenly and correctly. Lasagna and manicotti noodles are large and delicate so you want to be gentle but you do want to make sure everything gets into the water.
    Do you still have a good lock for your bike? I saw a pretty cool fingerprint bike lock not long ago though an old fashioned one would be fine too. Does Van Moof have some form (s) of security built in? If it does, what does it latch on to? Prints? Iris? Bluetooth to your phone? I got the'i don't have to lock my bike vibe as you stopped both times but I still had a couple of 'move so SOMEONE can keep an eye on the bike' moments a few times, which is ridiculous but there you go.
    Love that bike!!!
    Fun video, as usual! Thank you!! I am with you on the 80 in 8s when everything is closed but lets see how it goes!!
