Speaker 7 (05:00):
Hi?

Speaker 2 (05:00):
How are you?

Speaker 8 (05:02):
I'm great? Thank you? How are you?

Speaker 2 (05:04):
I am so well? I am so well. So as
I said before, I am so excited to have you
here with you. But can you do me a favorite?
Can you start by telling us a little about your
journey from being a chef to becoming a relationship mentor
and how did Cookie in the Love come together for you.

Speaker 8 (05:20):
Well, I went to school in Paris, and I love food,
is my passionate always husband I cooked with my mom
from just a wee age and it was it was
a natural thing for me to go to cooking school
and I loved it and it was really great. But
at some point in my late twenties or early thirties,

(05:43):
it occurred to me that if I wanted to have
a family, I didn't want to be standing pregnant in
the kitchen, you know, lugging big pots and everything around.
So I left the kitchen in favor of raising a
family and I went into sales. Was not exciting. But

(06:04):
then I decided during COVID, when everybody was in lockdown
and nobody was going anywhere or doing anything, that there
was a tremendous need for relationship counseling. And you know,
people were struggling with their relationships or struggling to find
somebody if they were single. And so I went about

(06:24):
taking courses and getting accredited as a relationship chef or
as a relationship coach. Sorry, and it was great. I mean,
I love working with people. Love is my other passion
after food. But there was something missing, you know, there
was that element that was of me that was missing
in my business. And I actually had a coach said

(06:48):
to me, she said, you need to bring the food
into it. And I'm like, oh, yeah, you're right, and
so I started thinking about that and that's how the
relationship chef came along with me finding my two passions,
which are love and food to help people connecting their
own way through food.

Speaker 2 (07:07):
Yeah, you know, I love that. I love that you
said that because you know what, what is that saying
that they said about the food is to the heart
of the soul or something like that, to a man's
belly or something stomach yet through the stomach, you know.
For me, I am a big foodie. I love to eat.
I love to eat. A few years ago, we kind

(07:29):
of did a show on aphrodisiacs, and along with the
show with the aphrodisiac we was telling, well, you know,
we was kind of educating our listeners about what different
foods do with what you know, part of their brain
cells were part of their bodies to help them turn
them on. For you, I'm gonna ask you, because you
are a chef as well as the relationship, what is

(07:51):
what is one of the most common dishes that your
couples that their requests from you that might have a
little bit of afrodisiac in it.

Speaker 8 (08:03):
Well, I'm not sure that it's an afrodisiak that people
are requesting so much as a romantic thing, right, And
so most people seem to gravitate towards a pasta of
some sort. And you know, maybe it's the lady in
the tramp scene when they are eating the spaghetti and
they come together and they kiss, or the whole you know,

(08:26):
romance of Italy or whatever. But people tend to identify
with passa as being a very romantic meal, maybe because
it's easy to eat too. That's not you have to
pick anything up with your fingers or whatever. But that's
just something that people find is really good for setting
the mood.

Speaker 2 (08:45):
Okay, now for setting the mood now, I heard you
say that about the you know, with the spaghetti in
the meat palls. Now, if you had a client or
client that was at home where you were doing online,
what will be your ideal dish for them to start
off with?

Speaker 8 (09:01):
What I like to do is first of all, I
assume that the people who are going to participate in
my services are foodies, right, So if you're in nuggets
and French fry person, I'm not the right person for
you with your home unless you're willing to try other things.
But normally, what I like to do is I like

(09:23):
to pick recipes that are not technically complicated, but maybe
have quite a few steps, so that people can you know,
it's not one and done in twenty minutes, it's you're
making an evening out of it. The whole idea is
to be at home, right, so that you can have
the intimacy of being at home. I always say clothing optional,

(09:43):
but you should wear an apron and you know you
can do what you want in the privacy of your
own home. So I want to pick dishes that are,
like I said, not technically complicated, but have a few steps,
because I want people to learn a little bit about cooking,
but I want them to maximize the amount of time
that they're spending on this meal together, working as a

(10:06):
team and finding that connection.

Speaker 2 (10:08):
M Okay, so thank you for that one. Now I'm
gonna I'm gonna bring back afrod Becker. And why I'm
going to do that is because sometimes when you especially
when you're trying to spice up your relationship, when it
comes to you know, when it gets, stress becomes, everything comes,
and so you need that extra help to do to

(10:30):
do that. And especially with food, when we can use
something that is so common and as I say, so
pg to where it's more like it's a thing that
we can take it from for you. What will be
some practices that you will use. So for instance, I
love O love and oysters, I love together whatever. Yeah,

(10:58):
I can eat me a jar alive and I can
eat a whole oysters. But I know what that does
for me. You know, I know what it does for me,
you know, you know, completely knowing that saying that you
get your your fifteen minute consultation or whatever to a
couple and you ask them, well, what was it that
you need? You know, what is it that you need
from here? Near here here? So for you do you

(11:20):
plant out a meal to make sure there is some
kind of aphrodisiac in that where it can still be
on a romantic side. And why I say this, I
am very I love the chemical balance of food, the
natural foods in the foods as well as the spices,
as well as your aroma and everything, what's in your
whole intake of your body, as well as setting the

(11:43):
move so for you to make it a perfect date
night for that client, what will be your thing for
them to do well.

Speaker 8 (11:52):
I'll be honest with you, I haven't really brought specifically
any foods known to be afrodisias into my meals, but
thank you for that, because that's a really great idea
to incorporate that thing. But I very much focus on,
you know, the senses involved with food are very much

(12:14):
the sense is in a relationship, right like smell and
taste and touch. And I encourage people. I want them
to touch each other during you know, while they're creating
the meal, or feed each other, you know, lick their
finger or whatever. Have you ever seen the movie Nine
and a half Weeks, Yes, yes, right, this is what
we're working towards. Is that super hot scene with the food,

(12:38):
the whip cream and the honey. And it's just I
think that there's a huge potential for people to explore
that bringing afrodisiacks into it is a great idea to
heighten it. Whether it's oysters or chocolates or chilly or whatever.
But yeah, it's definitely it's a very sense. It can't

(13:00):
it can be a very sensual experience, and which is
why I think it's such a natural to combine with relationships.
And I actually have a friend who's a contra expert,
and she and I love talking about this and talking
together about you know, and we do calls together and
interviews and things and talk back and forth about it

(13:21):
because she is a whole whole lot more educated on
the sexual side of it, and I'm the food person.
So when we bring it together, it really makes it
makes a good combination.

Speaker 2 (13:31):
Yeah, you know, it's something that I wanted to do
when I went and got my certification for relationship because
that was one of the things that we had was
afrodisiac And I remember seeing a short feelm within our class,
within our course, and it was about this. It was
a dinner that they hate and it was couples with
the dinner and it would you know, swap out with

(13:52):
the different couples, but they will feed each other, you know,
more of a more sexual, romantic type of thing. And
I was like, oh my god, I would love to
host something like that. You understand I would love to
host something like that.

Speaker 8 (14:06):
Absolutely.

Speaker 2 (14:07):
So is that something that you will be down for.

Speaker 8 (14:09):
Just in the next year or so, Absolutely, it would do. Absolutely.
It's so much fun to do this. You know in
our world, well, your world is maybe a little different
than mine. My world tends to be a little more PG,
not because I want it to be, but just because

(14:29):
you know, if you're out there publicly, there's a lot
of strange people out there. But I try to incorporate
sort of the sexual and sensuous side of it to
encourage people, you know, maybe more through innuendo, because you're
going to connect. You're gonna have this meal, it's gonna
be wonderful, you're gonna taste it, you're going to feel
the explosion in your mouth, and then you don't know

(14:51):
what's going to happen after that.

Speaker 2 (14:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (14:53):
I did a podcast interview the other day with this
lady who was a spiritual advisor, and I was really
surprised because I made a comment, as I often do,
I say, you know, couples are in the kitchen. I said,
clothing off show and she was like, oh, well, okay,
I'm like, you know, that's just something something I want

(15:15):
to encourage. That's half the fun of doing it at home.

Speaker 6 (15:18):
Right, you can go.

Speaker 8 (15:19):
Out to a restaurant and have an amazing meal with
a hundred of your best friends. You have to be
careful what you're saying. You're certainly not going to grop
each other on the table. I hope you will if
you're in the kitchen, cooking in the privacy of your
own home.

Speaker 2 (15:33):
To get right, right, you know, it's more like setting
a more intimate, a small intimate gathering that you know,
possibly rent out I guess, like a private kitchen or
something like that. And then that's where Now, don't nobody
take my idea. Now I'm going right, but you know,
more of an intimate thing because a lot of times

(15:55):
people don't. A lot of couples don't know how to
get over that unfle meal. Your what sexuality a sexual
language with each other, no matter if they were married
for five years, ten years, or twenty years. Sometimes it's
hard for them to go to that next level with
each other. And it doesn't always have to be raunchy.

(16:16):
It could be a very central and sexy type of
feel that you can do, you know, especially if it's
something that we're teaching them to use everything that they
have in a kitchen that it could be a normal day,
a lunch, and you can find things in your kitchen
cabinet that can just sexually arouse you to be more
romantic with your spouse or your lover or whatever like that.

(16:38):
And those are some things that can be taught, you know,
with this, you know this whole Look, I'm already playing
it in my head, this whole event, And so I
want to ask my listeners right here, right now, vtg
grew if this is something that I was to offer
next year myself or a chef with Chef Krista or
whatever chef, would it be something that you guys will

(16:59):
be into coming to an event like that where we
will teach you how to cook, you know, not only
for its for a sexy and romantic date, but also
that can help with pleasing yourself in your mate. Let
us know in the comments right now, and we'll take
a poll later on later on. So can we do this?

(17:19):
Can we take a quick break and then we're gonna
come back. Okay, Chef Christal, When we come back, we
got to got some more questions for you than we're
gonna open up the lines and have some people call

balance together.

Speaker 2 (19:20):
All right, welcome back. I'm your girdy goddess Bank asks
name that podcast. I'm here with Chef Christa. Today we
are talking about cooking with connections. But before we get
back into the topic, I want to share this one
of our friends the of the podcast. She was actually
last season, she was a guest on our show, Remy Martin, and.

Speaker 3 (19:42):
She is.

Speaker 2 (19:44):
Doing the breast cancer walk that's happening on October. I
want to make sure that I say this right. That's
happening on October fifth, and right now she is taking
donations and i'ma have doc pound Mike. Mike put the
link up there as well, so if we can show
I love BTG Crew and just show the love for

(20:07):
that charity right there again, that is Remy Martin. She
is a friend of BTG crew of Acts Naomi right
here and so she almost reached her goal. So yeah,
check it out. Check it out our chef Christa, Well,
welcome back, thank you. So before the break we I

(20:29):
was splitting on a little idea that I have, but
I want to get back into what you do. What
is it that you do? So, I know we talk
about the couples and meting together. You know, those long dates,
the dates nice, they can easily fall by the wayside.
What are these moments so crucial for a relationship. Why
are these moments so crucial for a relationship?

Speaker 8 (20:50):
Well, I think people underestimate the power of being connected
with your spouse, right because everybody says, well, you know,
we love each other, We're fine, but fine. And what
you're looking for because you want that love, that passion,
that fire in your relationship. And when you feel that,
you feel more connected to your relations to your partner.

(21:11):
You feel more supported, more loved, more visible to your partner.
And when you feel that way, it ripples out throughout
the rest of your life. When you feel confident in
your relationship, do you feel confident in your job or
confident parenting your children, and the loving, passionate relationship just

(21:32):
carries on through every part of your life. And when
it becomes sort of disconnected or dare I even say stale,
you don't have that same boost of positivity and support
that you have when you're connected, and so it's easy

(21:53):
to feel unseen and feel maybe even like your partner
is not committed to the spice in the relationship. And
nobody wants to feel as though their partners committed to
them specifically, not just the family or the home, but
committed to them. And so there's so many different things.

(22:14):
You know, Couples who share more love and passion are
more likely to work together in other areas, right, whether
that's celebrating milestones or managing difficult challenges. The more connected
you are, the better you can work together as a team.
So there's just so many benefits to keeping your relationship
hot and connected and sexy.

Speaker 2 (22:37):
Yeah, you know, I love that. You know, when I
think back on my favorite date nights, it wasn't like
the grand gestures that stood out for me. It was
those simple There was more intimate moments like cooking dinner together, laughing,
or just being present in the moment. It's a reminder
that the connection doesn't need to be complicated. I can
sit in a room and we can watch reality TV

(22:58):
all day, or football or ball just those intimate moments
for me. Is I love you know to do so? Also,
speaking on oh if, I want to ask our listeners
what's your favorite date night memory? And I love for
you to share with us on social media as well
as in the comments right now and if once you

(23:18):
might like to put up a link that you can
share in so you know, call in and let us
know with Shell. But I had an idea while you
were talking, and I don't know if it's something that
you already do when meeting with the couple and doing
your discovery call or whatever. Is it something that you
do is possibly get what maybe their favorite foods is

(23:39):
or probably make a special for that couple alone, like
this dish will be called just say their last name
was Smith's Spaghetti or something like that.

Speaker 8 (23:50):
I could definitely do that. One of the faces in
one of my programs is I encourage people to at
least take one evening a week where they create their
own meal and they see what the what ingredients they have,
and they do something off script, that's totally impromptu, without
a recipe, and I consult with them on that point.

(24:13):
They may say, you know, we want to put these
two together and what do you think about this? And
I help them sort of develop the recipe to create
without a script because that really encourages the teamwork too.
So that's a similar idea, only I'm helping them to
create their own recipe rather than me doing.

Speaker 9 (24:31):
It for them.

Speaker 2 (24:32):
Right, that's beautiful. So okay, so let's talk about this
something I know that a lot of couples that they
struggle with, and that's making time for these moments. You know,
we get caught up with kids, demands of daily life.
What are some of the most common obstacles that you
see that prevent couples from spending this quality time together.

Speaker 8 (24:55):
The two biggest ones that come across are, like you said, time.
People say, oh, well, I don't have time for this,
but it's so important to make time. And if you
think about your schedule and you really look carefully, there's
a lot of a lot of time lenks. Right you're
scrolling on your phone or you're watching Netflix. This time

(25:16):
can be repurposed to something that's really going to have
more impact and the other the obstacle that I hear
people say is that they don't like cooking with other people.
They want to be in their kitchen and they don't
want to share their kitchen with anyone. I've been there.
I get that, But trust me, it's something that can

(25:36):
be worked with.

Speaker 2 (25:38):
Yeah, you know, I thought about that. Oh I am
so guilty of that. But if I know that it's
supposed to be a time that we can be romantic
and it's I was share of the kitchen, but otherwise,
don't come in my kitchen, well.

Speaker 8 (25:51):
And I agree with that a million percent. And I
think that the important thing is is that when you're
going to do this night cooking, you're setting the intention
to do it together.

Speaker 2 (26:04):
Right.

Speaker 8 (26:05):
You're going in saying not telling you, hopefully not telling yourself,
well you know, I guess I'll let them in the
kitchen tonight. You're setting the intention this is going to
be a great evening and we're going to share it,
and we're going to figure out how to make the
evening work together.

Speaker 4 (26:23):
Right.

Speaker 2 (26:23):
No, I love that. I just I just think about
a time where there was no one coming in the kitchen.
But then as time went on. He became my soul chef,
so I got so used to that that I was like, Okay,
I need you to cut the onions or the peppers
for me, and he'll be on his side of the

(26:44):
island like there, and I'll be right there. And it
worked so well. We did it for so many years
that way. He didn't do it anymore because he got
looked crazy. I was like, oh my god, this is
my sis.

Speaker 8 (26:56):
Right, It's true. I mean, once you get used to
having somebody in the kitchen, it's really lovely to have
someone there by your side, right. And it's like I said,
it's a touch here, or squeeze there, or kiss there.
You know, when my partner runs his hand down my
back and squeezes my bum. You know, these are all

(27:16):
moments of not just physical proximity but intimacy, right, And
you're sort of leading up to the main event. And
I've heard so many people say, you know, when we
share a really great meal, we almost always have sex
after the great meal, right, because it's the satisfaction and

(27:39):
the stimulation of all your senses, like we talked about earlier,
and it really does get you. It takes you to
that place where it's like, this is the natural dessert
that we're going to have after a fantastic meal.

Speaker 2 (27:52):
Yeah, you know exactly. And sometimes it's just about taking
that first step, especially when you you know, when you're
getting into the mood of it, when you're trying to
learn something new. I know there are evenings when we
get tired, you know, when the couch seems to be
so much more appealing than plenty a date night. But
once we get started, whether it's putting on some music,

(28:12):
but as I said, chopping up some vegetables because it
shifts the energy. What tips do you have for couples
who feel stuck, you know, in that and want to
nurture their relationship but don't know how to well.

Speaker 8 (28:28):
I mean that's the whole idea with the cooking, right,
is to really share in this evening. And if you
are allowing yourself to do it, you don't have to
go into the meal saying, well, we're gonna have saxophone
or finished. You have to go into the meal saying
I want to do this with my partner and connect

(28:48):
and it flows like the creation of this meal and
working together as a team brings this up. You cannot
make dinner with somebody in a kitchen and not speak
to them right, and it just it flows from there.
And I always give them, you know, conversation tips or
conversation starters, questions to ask each other, you know, to

(29:12):
sort of get the flow going if they're having difficulty
with that, and to break the ice because it sounds funny,
but even people who have been together for a long
time sometimes need an icebreaker with something like this. And
you don't want to slip into the So did you
get the mail today? And I went to the grocery
store and I went to the hardware store, and you know,

(29:32):
you don't want to slip into that. This is an
evening between two people, and I really encourage people to
look at it from that standpoint, and the conversation, the food,
and you know, there's always put this in your in
your partner's mouth, let them taste it, or let them

(29:52):
lick it off your finger or whatever. You know, there's
these moments that I intersperse into it that encourage that
physical intimacy as well, and it's up to them to
allow it to grow from there.

Speaker 2 (30:06):
Beautiful, beautiful, Now, So I know what all we said,
It might seem like, oh, that's a lot of work.
And the one thing that I promoted was like effortless
date night, all right, So let's have a look, but
effortless date night, all right. So Christa, now I know
you got some amazing ideas because you just talk about
the fingers in the mouth and stuff like that. So

(30:27):
for efforts like, what are some of your go to
favorites for couples that are looking to reconnect?

Speaker 8 (30:34):
You mean as in food, yes, as in food. Well,
I have my favorite dessert to put out there. Surprisingly
doesn't have chocolate, and I guess I should put chocolate
in every dessert because chocolate is very much in Afrodisia.
It's just a very simple raspberry tart that people can

(30:54):
cook without a lot of effort. But the taste has
got that sweet and partners of the rasp berries, and
it really does delight your taste buds. For main course,
there's a really lovely chicken dish that I like to do.
It's called pule basquez. It's a traditional French dish with
peppers and preshutto ham and onions and tomatoes, and it's

(31:19):
done in stages. You soata them and the aromas will
just they'll make your mouth water, And there's enough steps
to that dish that people are spending a fair amount
of time in the kitchen. And when I say effortless
state nights, I mean I'm doing all the planning for you,
but the work to create the meal is really minimal

(31:40):
because it's it's a labor of love, right, It's not work,
it's fun. It's creating something you've never created and learning
and new skills.

Speaker 2 (31:49):
So we got to the questions. I see a few
questions that we have in comments. Can we go to
the comments.

Speaker 10 (31:56):
In all right speaking, I'll do my ad.

Speaker 7 (32:04):
Can to date night cooking help couples overcoming beers in
their relationships?

Speaker 8 (32:11):
I think so? I think that there's really Again, they
have to be open to it, right, If both partners
are not open to it, nothing's going to work no
matter what you try.

Speaker 5 (32:21):
But if both.

Speaker 8 (32:22):
Partners are committed to rekindling that flame and reworking them,
it's not going to happen in one night, because Rome
wasn't built in a day, but through a series of
evenings together and different tasks, you know, talking about planning
meals and talking about traditions and family events and things

(32:46):
like that, it really gets the communication going around food,
and then naturally it just happens that you connect more.

Speaker 2 (32:54):
Right.

Speaker 8 (32:54):
It's like meeting somebody in your office and you talk
to them every day for a year. Eventually you're going
to be right or you're not going to talk to
them right. And so food takes the the awkwardness away
because you're talking about the subject. And I give couples,
you know, there's a series of events or tasks if

(33:17):
you will, to lead up to it, and that's how people,
you know, a little bit at a time, they connect
a little bit at a time, and then as the
program goes on, next thing, you know, they're really connecting
more in the kitchen. So absolutely they can come over
overcome barriers. But the number one main ingredientents of both

(33:38):
people in the relationship have to be willing right.

Speaker 2 (33:42):
Right, do we have any more questions in the comments?

Speaker 5 (33:44):
You're just one more in what way you say?

Speaker 7 (33:49):
Jeff that setting the right mood or tone helps the cooking.

Speaker 8 (33:55):
Oh, I think it makes a huge difference. So just
the first thing I'll say on that is I have
people say to me all the time, they say, you
know what, I make this not for my classes, but
like friends and family. They'll say, I make this, but
why does yours taste so much better? And cheeky, I'm
always cheeky, and I say, well, it's because I put
love in it. But it really is because I put

(34:16):
love in it, and I pay attention to what I'm doing.
And so I think when you're doing when you're cooking
with your partner, you are infusing love in every single
ingredient you put in there. Plus you're going to have
some sexy music, and you're going to have the right lighting.
And also something that I think is really important is

(34:39):
making the effort to make it look nice, right, So
you're gonna have nice dishes out and have the table
set beautifully with flowers or whatever, And you really are
setting the mood in a variety of ways that contribute
to the evening.

Speaker 6 (34:53):
Right.

Speaker 8 (34:53):
So, if you're there with your partner with the intention
of connecting, and you've got some sexy music on and
you can smell the garlic and the onions, so tang,
it's an amazing set setting for love and passion. And
I think that you're right. You very much have to
set the mood both with the food and the atmosphere.

Speaker 2 (35:14):
Yeah, we gotta guess you want to bring, so we
do have a collar coming in. Hello Walter, Hello, are
you going to speak or you just gonna stare? You
have a comment or a question?

Speaker 9 (35:35):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 5 (35:38):
Thank you a little technical difficulty.

Speaker 2 (35:40):
All right, that's all right, Walter. Well, thank you, thank
thank you, thank you. Oh wow, thank you. All right.
So I'm gonna ask you something. And I love picnic.
Is picnic for me is so romantic?

Speaker 8 (35:59):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 2 (36:00):
Death ideal dishes to take out to have a successful.

Speaker 8 (36:05):
Picnic, well, chocolate dip strawberries are must and usually they're
good enough size that you can feed them to your partner,
which is always really nice. Champagne for sure, and some
nice glasses. And I think that for a picnic the

(36:28):
easiest thing for me, And this is what I do
with my partner and I do picnics. It's just some
sort of charcuterie board instead of having a complex meal
with dishes and it's going to fall off the dishes
or whatever. If you've got a charcuterie board that's got
a variety of meats and cheeses and fruits that you
can just sort of pick at, you know, a little
bit here and there. I think that makes just an

(36:50):
amazing picnic, super sexy. You have a nice blanket, and
I've done this before lots of times, having a nice
blanket spread out and you've got the bath and the
champagne and a bucket and and it just makes for
a beautiful atmosphere. And it's funny you say this because
there's I found on Amazon not long ago. This is

(37:10):
not a plug. I have no affiliation to anything, but
they have picnic charcuterie boards. So they're like a cutting
board that has legs that fold out that you when
you go on the picnic. It makes a little table.
It's such a great idea for a picnic. Where did
you get that from Amazon?

Speaker 2 (37:29):
Where you have to send me a link for that?

Speaker 8 (37:33):
Oh, it's even got a place to put your glass
to hold it. But it's like a little tray that
you put whatever you're having for your picnic on the tray.
It's it's fabulous for going on picnics and picnics you're right,
are just so romantic and wonderful to share with your partner.

Speaker 2 (37:51):
Yeah, it is, it is, it is, And that sounds
all you know. I love me a picnic. I love
me a picnic listeners. I know you have your own
creative ideas too, so if you have any favorite easy
day ideas, I want you to share it on social
media US any hashtag cooking up connection. I can't wait
to see what all of y'all come up with as

(38:13):
well as we are wrapping up our show right now, Chris,
is there any last words that you want to leave
with our audience? Where can they find you at? If
you have any you know, where can they find you at?
They want your coaching and cooking? Where can they find
you at?

Speaker 8 (38:29):
Well? I always tell people the very best place to
find me is just on my Facebook profile. It's Krystal
Millanson k r I S T A M E l
A N s O N Because then people can have
a look at me. It's not a salesy profile. It's
just my personal profile and you can take a look
at me and see what I'm about and see if
I seem to be somebody you'd be interested in getting

(38:51):
to know or talk to a little bit more So,
it's sort of a non threatening way for people to
take a peek. I will tell you hoefully have have
this link right? Actually, you know what, I'll double check
I have a link that's perfect for you guys. It's
just a date night e book and setting the mood
for romantic dinner and that it has a first, second,

(39:14):
and dessert course recipes and how to do them, and
it's it's just kind of a fun way so the web.
Do you want me to tell you say it out loud?

Speaker 2 (39:26):
Yeah? You can. You can say it out loud, please
do so.

Speaker 8 (39:28):
It's it's Krista k r I s t A dash
m a r I e dot com slash all one
word date night e book And if you plug that
in then you will get three recipes, actually four because
I gave a choice for the first course, And it's

(39:52):
a great way to spend an evening and have a
date night. And you can either do it together or
you can prepare it as a surprise for your partner ever.
But it's just a sort of step by step instructions
to create a romantic evening.

Speaker 2 (40:06):
You know. Actually a blog on this episode right here too,
so I would definitely put that within within the blog
as well as writing on this interview. But we do
have one last question from Jamar.

Speaker 5 (40:20):
He said, last question, how should the conversation start?

Speaker 7 (40:24):
Say, I'm used to warming up with casual questions, should
I change up with the open ending question?

Speaker 8 (40:32):
Well, I think in the beginning, really sort of casual
conversation is fine, but some open ended questions are always
nice because you know, when you ask a question like that,
it really shows your partner that you're interested and you
want to hear the answer. Right. So the questionism is important,

(40:53):
but the way you respond to their answer is also important.

Speaker 5 (40:56):
Right.

Speaker 8 (40:57):
So if they if you say, you know, what was
your favorite meal growing up and they say, well, you know,
I really like spaghetti and meatballs, then you you wouldn't
just go oh great and move on to something else.
You say, well, then who did you like? Was it
your mother who made the spaghetti meatballs? Or did your

(41:17):
grandparents or you know whatever. Ask questions that express an
interest in them, listen to what they say, and then
sort of ask more questions based on that. And it's
the showing of interest to your partner that really is
sexy and makes them feel, like we said earlier, wanted, appreciated,
you know, desired when you take an interest in who

(41:40):
they are and what they are.

Speaker 5 (41:41):
Beautiful.

Speaker 10 (41:42):
Okay, you say you had a questions, got a quick
question and it kind of kicks off jam as well,
is how soon in the relationship to you can you
do this, do this cooking thing. I mean, I think
he was like, if you just meet somebody how soon
because we talked about partner then you know people in
a longer relationship, Well I understand that, but how soon

(42:04):
should you, you know, try to introduce it.

Speaker 8 (42:07):
Well, you know nowadays and I've actually talked about this
specific thing before. Nowadays, when you meet somebody, whether you're
meeting them online or whatever, you're hesitant to invite them
to your house or you know, you go to their
house because people want a little bit of safety, right,
So you're going to have a few days before you

(42:28):
feel comfortable being in the other person's house. But as
soon as you've reached that point where you know you
will go to their house or they will come to
your house. Cooking is great right from the get go.
And if you have a relationship that's important to you,
you want to keep this passion burning from day one
right through to the end of time, till you're that

(42:49):
little old lady and old man on the bench holding hands.

Speaker 2 (42:52):
Right.

Speaker 8 (42:53):
You want it to stay valid and vital for that
whole time. So it's never too early to start cooking
together and start using all of the tools that you
can get from cooking together.

Speaker 2 (43:06):
Right, all right, So dog Pound might put up a
question up here, why would you was? So? Why is
it blocked me? On stream yard? All right? So beautiful
loved one's up here right now. So if you are
Walter right here, you kept popping in on us and
we couldn't You couldn't hear us, and so it was
bad with our show, so you would have to come

(43:27):
in on another day on another topic of another. It
was just it just wasn't working. It was a bad
connection over here. And instead of you just allowing it
just to go, you just kept popping in and so
my producer he just banded and blocked it. Nothing personal,
We just had to make sure that we kept the
show rolling, just show going, all right. So we have
another person here at Rockhart. Hey, how you doing? Can

(43:56):
you hear us?

Speaker 7 (44:00):
Hello?

Speaker 9 (44:03):
Can you hear me?

Speaker 2 (44:04):
Yeah? I can hear me now, Yeah hear me?

Speaker 7 (44:08):
Cool?

Speaker 6 (44:08):
Cool?

Speaker 9 (44:08):
Cool? What's happening. How y'all doing today?

Speaker 2 (44:11):
We're doing well, We're doing well. How about yourself?

Speaker 9 (44:14):
I'm doing that right, one day at a time. I
love this topic, the easiest way to a man hardest
throw his belly. That's an amazing topic. But I had
a question for yall. I was thinking about this question
actually yesterday. If you could pick a song that could
represent your love language, what would that be?

Speaker 2 (44:38):
You know what rock?

Speaker 9 (44:41):
Will be the perfect on the play while y'all on
that date when you cook for your for your partner
for the first time.

Speaker 8 (44:49):
For me, I'm gonna jump in and say Havana because
I think that song is so sexy.

Speaker 5 (44:56):
M hm.

Speaker 2 (44:59):
Oh oh, I'm thinking. I'm not gonna lie. The very
first song that came up my mind is by changing
face and stroked me, stroke you up, stroke me down.

(45:20):
That was the very when you said it that came
and I was like, not do it? Why do that?
But yeah, I guess.

Speaker 8 (45:27):
It's on topic. It's great.

Speaker 2 (45:29):
Yeah, what about you? Since you asked question you, what's
the song for you? No? M okay, now you now
you're breaking up. We can't even hear your answer.

Speaker 9 (45:47):
Oh you can hear me, now.

Speaker 8 (45:48):
Me hear you now?

Speaker 2 (45:49):
Now we can hear you now, So what's your answer?

Speaker 6 (45:53):
Actually?

Speaker 9 (45:55):
Does your cat at Glory Hills is one of my songs.
That's the first song I thought of.

Speaker 2 (46:01):
Really really, that's interesting.

Speaker 7 (46:08):
Yeah, rock Card got not kicked off, but I guess
we're having a bad connection. And I want to ask
for all those people on the East coast or oh yeah, Southeastern,
we know what's going on down in that way.

Speaker 2 (46:20):
So yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm glad that you did say that,
because I know we have a lot of our listeners
that's hear from that's from Florida on the East coast,
New York. And yeah, we just hope that you all
are being safe out there. I know that it's rough,
it's going rough in the weather out there. So again,
our prayers go out to you all, just to have

(46:42):
a safe day, weekend, night, that you get through this hurricane.
Because Helena is not playing, she is not playing at all,
she is not playing at all. But do you we
want to bring rock Card back on or we're gonna
see one back on before we let you go. Okay,

(47:03):
that's about You're back, You're back on. Hello, you good?

Speaker 9 (47:06):
Yeah, man, I can hear. You can hear me, Yeah,
I can hear. Okay. I was trying to say Dorgy
Cat at Glory Hills, like I don't know what it
is about. That second verse, but it's like she was
saying line after the line, it's like I can relate
to that. I felt like she was talking to me, Loki,
and that's what made me think about that.

Speaker 2 (47:28):
What's the words? What are the words?

Speaker 6 (47:30):
What word?

Speaker 2 (47:31):
What? What are the words that I guess kind of
turn you on because it's it's tingling something. It's giving
you a sensation somewhere somehow, So what are those words?

Speaker 9 (47:43):
It's like it's just the whole second verse. It's like
love is pain, but I need that is we're up
too good? When the pink kicks in, like fortnight, I'm
gonnaee your skin And she said something no, she was
like your people hold and ship back when I need
my space.

Speaker 6 (47:59):
Give that.

Speaker 9 (48:00):
When he wrote my heart, you fixed that with a
long walk on the beach like like it's like just
lining after the line. It's like for me, like that's
what I do, like when I'm going through some things,
like I walk the beach. So it's like for her
to say that, like wow, like like love is pain,
like yes it is, but you need it though you
need love no matter how pain is paying for it is.

(48:21):
And on top of that too, I don't know if
it's because I went to California for the first time
last year, but going to Calvey and seeing like how
big their beaches is, it's like whoa, like a long
walk on the beach, Like I.

Speaker 2 (48:32):
Could get used to that.

Speaker 9 (48:33):
So I would say it's like I would say, for
now thinking about it at Gary Hill, that'll be one
of my songs that represent my love language. And that's.

Speaker 2 (48:45):
That's nice just even when you just with express the
words you can tell, even when you're saying the words
that you were feeling it. I mean, like truly, you.

Speaker 9 (48:53):
Know, it's like even the hook too, It's like I
want to show you off. It's like you should want
to show your woman off. Yeah, I want to show
you off. That's real, Like that mean I want to
brag about it. I want to tie knot like that.
Isn't that the goal? Like you want to brag about
your other partner, you want to show her off?

Speaker 6 (49:09):
Right?

Speaker 2 (49:10):
Yes, yes, absolutely, yes, absolutely out there you right there?
Truly for the both both of the couples, is that
when you are not a shame, when you're able to
be bold in your relationship with each other, that's that's
the most amazing thing that is the most amazing thing.

Speaker 9 (49:27):
Yeah, and with me, like I'm a type of person
where I'm very like little key with mine like growing up,
like showing off was a no no, Like that's one
of the worst things you could do is show off.
So if you could get me to show you off, like,
that's how you know I like you, That's how you know.
I don't feeling I could show it off to the world.
It's like, yo, look I'm going to date with my woman.

(49:47):
Like and then on top of that too, like I
don't cook for people because people like to complain. So
it's like, if I'm cooking for you, just know, like
that's real.

Speaker 2 (49:57):
Now, Like it right for you to make a first date.
I mean for you to cook for someone, do you
try to say, well, I'm gonna cook you my favorite
dish of what I'm good at, or what you ask
your whoever you're cooking for, what's your favorite dish?

Speaker 9 (50:12):
Both both on my favorite dish in general.

Speaker 2 (50:17):
Well, no, okay, so I want to make sure that
you heard my question for you when you are cooking
for someone. When you decide to cook for someone, are
you cooking for their meaning that are you asking? And well,
what's your favorite meal so you can try to cook it,
or are you showing what you like your favorite dish
and showing her that.

Speaker 5 (50:36):
Both?

Speaker 9 (50:36):
But nine times out of ten, the first time, I'm
probably gonna cook my meal because I know how to
cook it. So it's like, I know, a nice time
to say it's going to go right the first time,
So I'm probably gonna cook what I like it. Then
eventually like we'll get into okay, what do you like?
And then I work on cooking what you like as well.
So that's why I say both, Okay, yeah that is
but god, good chef, let's she say I didn't hear it.

Speaker 8 (51:00):
It's a smart strategy because everybody has their own interpretation
of a dish, right, So if she says, you know,
she likes the spaghetti carbonara, the way you make it
may be completely different from the way she makes it.
So you're much better off making something you're passionate about.
And then it's like you're sharing a part of you
as well.

Speaker 2 (51:18):
Yeah, and on.

Speaker 9 (51:20):
Top of it, like you just say part is me too.
It's like that's my chance to show like like I'm
in this with you. Because a lot of people they
think like a woman places in the kitchen, and I
leave that to a very small extent because in a way,
I do think women cook a little better than men.
But at the same time, though, women might not be

(51:40):
available to cook for the family. Like it's like, let's
say your woman is sick and you got kids, it's
like you're gonna do You're just gonna order out the
whole time she's sick. Now you gotta step up a
cook tool. It's like, let's say like she had work
or something like let's say she a hustle like me.
It's like, it's the time I might have to cook tool.
So it's like that's the way. It's not even it's
a way to show her like, you know, like you're

(52:01):
not just going to be doing all the cooking. It's
like I can step up and do certain things too
as well. That's quote unquote one of me.

Speaker 2 (52:09):
Right, beautiful, beautiful, all right, but always good baby. It's
all because we gotta let you go because we got
another person that's coming up. But it's ours, you know,
you can be trying to get our time.

Speaker 9 (52:22):
Always, peace and blessings, y'all, be good, Appreciate you too, Thank.

Speaker 5 (52:26):
You, Rod.

Speaker 2 (52:28):
All right, my beautiful people. Again, We're gonna take one more,
one more call? Are you good with one more call?
Chef Priston?

Speaker 8 (52:33):
Oh for sure, Thank you all right.

Speaker 2 (52:35):
Beautiful Jamar can you hear us?

Speaker 6 (52:43):
I can hear you all right?

Speaker 2 (52:45):
All right? So you have a.

Speaker 11 (52:47):
Question, Yeah, so the question is more in live. I
heard everything that sat fat and thank you for responding
to my question. But the one that stood out asked
about the over ending is because I'm transitioning from a
friendship into a relationship. The friendship with the person I've

(53:07):
known for nearly forty years. I grew up with them
and we have a lot of.

Speaker 6 (53:12):
History, so.

Speaker 11 (53:14):
Creating that atmosphere, I just didn't want to feel uncomfortable
for myself in presenting, you know, a cooking date night
with her. I just wanted to know how important is
it to once you engage in it, to keep it going.
You said frequently, But how frequently you didn't give me

(53:36):
or the audience a time like it should be once
a month, once every six weeks.

Speaker 6 (53:41):
How often should we keep it consistent?

Speaker 8 (53:44):
I think that if you're talking about a date night
in whatever form you know, in a new relationship, you
want to do it once a week once you've been
together for you know, a year or more, it might
only be once a but really, the more you have
the date night, the more you set aside that time

(54:06):
to focus on one another, the better it is. So
if you can do it once a night, once a
week from now until eternity, that's the best answer. The
more you can do it, and don't force the intimacy,
don't force. Don't ask questions that are super super personal
until you know them really well. But you want to

(54:28):
ask specific questions to them, do you know what I mean?
Like the difference. You don't want to say, you know,
what was your most heartbreaking moment in your life because
maybe they're not ready to answer that right away. So
ask questions that are specific that show an interest to them,
but don't make them too personal until you know them
a little bit better. But in terms of frequency, if

(54:50):
you can have commit to maintain one date night a week,
absolutely go ahead and do that. I think that's the
very best, the best way to start a relationship and
carry it on forever.

Speaker 6 (55:03):
Thank you. I appreciate the response. I actually I sent
you an email.

Speaker 11 (55:10):

beautiful though, yeah, quite a long time with that. But yeah,
you're not getting ready to force me to answer this
question right now.

Speaker 11 (55:57):

Speaker 2 (56:04):

of going and going to order because I'm when I
