Another one we watch is Gino'sItalian Escape he goes to Italy
finds food and makes differentdishes for his family and
relatives I was telling Joe, oneof the things, I miss and they
(00:47):
talk about in these Italianshows is.
Having cousins that they talkedto and play with, and I didn't
have any cousins to play with.
Joe, how about you?
Oh, I did.
Well, tell me about'em.
Well, I had, several cousins,Well, I had Jimmy, who was my
favorite cousin, and actuallythat's how I met my first
(01:09):
husband.
Through Jimmy?
Yes.
And why didn't you hook up withJimmy?
Well, he was my cousin.
gotcha.
go ahead.
and, Doris What, two cousins?
You don't have any more cousinsthan I do.
they were distant.
Those were the ones that livedin our state.
How about on your street, didyou have any?
(01:29):
No.
Town.
Town of Ambler?
Mm-hmm.
Joe was born in Ambler the Thirdfloor in, March.
As you all know, her birthdaywas just last week It was 96
years ago.
And you know that house, welooked at it on our realtor.com.
House is still there.
It's really nice looking andpeople have redone it and made
(01:49):
it into a beautiful home.
Joe complains about growing upthere because, she didn't have
all the facilities that she'sbecome used to.
Well, there was a lot of workinvolved at that house.
my dad believed that you had topaint the shutters every year,
and we did.
also we had a victory gardenand, just a lot of work.
(02:12):
oh, and my mother took inlaundry and I ironed napkins and
got 25 cents a dozen for ironingnapkins.
Who, who counted the napkins?
Did your mother count'em or didyou say Of course.
Of course my mother did.
Now we're kind of just stallinghere because, I Joe wants to say
she helped make pasta doughtoday..For, pasta we used, two,
(02:37):
cups of flour, which I measureda hundred grams is about a cup.
And I used two eggs, and thistime I added a half a teaspoon
of olive oil.
And, uh, I put it together and,and Joe says, I can do it better
than you.
So she took over.
I don't like the way he needs.
(02:58):
Well, can you need better than Ineed?
I need a lot of stuff.
You know, I need, it's adifferent kind of need.
Okay.
I need things on Amazon everyday.
I need something.
So, alright.
I don't mean kneading with your,knuckles.
So what did you, you need it?
I, she, she needed today thedough.
she needed it.
And then she got tired.
(03:19):
Of course I had to take over andfinish it.
We wrapped it in plastic wrap.
It's now in the refrigerator.
doing whatever pasta does it hasto bloom, blooming like coffee.
Mm-hmm.
So it's been, it's been in therefor a 30 minutes.
the other thing we did, earlierwas to do Joe's voice on
artificial intelligence.
(03:40):
we could do artificial, we'renot artificial.
We're real people, and we'lltell you when it's gonna be
artificial.
But at any rate, um, we didthat, today too.
Joe even got her hair washedagain.
I went to the, stylist.
if it's over double digits, it'sa stylist.
If it's under that, it's ahaircut and wash.
(04:02):
I get haircut and washed, Joegets a stylist.
So I was having trouble gettinggas, using my reward points.
Joe said, when you go to the gasstation, go up to the, clerk and
ask how to use it.
And I said, there's no way I'mgoing to ask somebody how to do
Something I should be able to doso Well, we were about lose
gonna lose our points, we'regonna run outta gas.
(04:23):
And I said, well, let's try it.
So I did it and I got a 50 centdiscount on my gas today.
So I think that's doing prettygood.
And we were in a differentcounty and they were cheaper.
we were in Hall County and welive in, Gwinnett County.
But anyway, getting back to, ourpasta.
When this pasta is, ready?
(04:45):
We're gonna cut it and thenwe're going Toro.
Need it now?
You fluff it.
You mean fluff it.
After you cut it.
This week I bought a, Frenchrolling pin.
it doesn't have handles you rollthe whole thing.
Now this is an Italian buying aFrench rolling pin.
Exactly.
Now.
we're gonna use that today.
(05:05):
And also I ordered a mortar andpestle, which I've never had
before.
I think they only use that indrugstore when they're making
prescriptions.
But, um, what's that for John?
I'm gonna grind peppercorns.
And I'm gonna make up apeppercorn and a pasta dish,
with two kinds of cheese.
The problem we're having now isfinding a place to buy proper
(05:28):
Italian cheese We need to findan Italian market without going
to Atlanta If you know of anyplace, tell us and we'll
certainly try it out.
Oh, my pasta.
We're gonna make, some kind ofspaghetti.
Don't know how we're going todry it.
We got a little problem.
Are you gonna make thespaghetti, spaghetti?
Or what, what else?
(05:50):
Fettuccine Yes.
No, I'm gonna make spaghetti.
Oh, okay.
We have to put it through the,pasta machine, four or five
times to get it to the rightflatness.
Then we squeeze out thosenoodles in the pasta machine.
do I hang them on a spaghettirack, which I bought off Amazon.
Before you do that, how do youknow when it's thin enough?
(06:11):
you put your hand through it oryou put a piece of paper through
it.
If you can read the paperthrough the, pasta dough, it's
ready.
Am I right?
That's right.
So Joe comes from a long line ofItalians.
by the way, Italian cooks also,we watched, pasta grannies.
There are, women in Italy, 103years old, that go out and
(06:33):
gather eggs.
And make pasta.
Now I'm telling you.
Well, the, the reason theygather the eggs, uh, well they
have to look for them is theseare free range chickens, Yes.
And I brought up us having somefree range chickens.
Mm-hmm.
And our, community and peoplesaid, you can't do that.
(06:54):
It's against the HOA.
And I said, if they're freereign.
How do we know how they gotthere?
And then Joe brings up, how dowe gather the eggs?
Because they could lay eggsanywhere, but that would be like
an Easter egg hunt, wouldn't it?
So the other question came up,and those of you who are farmers
would know this, do you need arooster to, have a hen lay eggs?
(07:16):
And I Google it?
And the answer is no.
Only if you want little babychicks to come from those eggs.
One of our neighbors said, whatif the rooster crows and wakes
everybody up?
Well, that's not gonna be aproblem because we don't need a
rooster.
We just need hens.
That's half a dozen chickens.
So if any of you have anychickens you want to drop off,
(07:37):
no, don't do it.
And we'll be in trouble in ourfree range farm, we will have,
chickens, eggs, which we willgladly, distribute.
Well, I think the Scottishnesshas gone on long enough.
What do you think?
I think so too.
And how are we gonna end this,John?
(07:59):
Well, I've been trying to figureout how to add some music and
stuff to this.
I haven't done that yet, butwe're going to do it.
I think with that being said,we're gonna end this session,
which is number four.
Am I right?
That's right.
we thought we'd end with apublic service announcement.
Now, today's public serviceannounce basically for your
seniors is, and.
(08:20):
Joe's done this so she knows donot take a sleeping pill and
laxative at the same time.
thank you.
You're welcome for that.
Are we done?
I think we are.
We're signing off John and Joe.
Goodbye.
