 So hey y'all I wanted to I noticed I haven't been putting a lot of cooking in my videos It's just been crazy busy here So I'm gonna go ahead and show y'all what I'm cooking today We have a lot going on a lot going on just to let you know I'm making headway or I don't know how to say it. I'm making some movements on my Documenting my cooking recipes and when I do I think I will share them I do have a blog a blog Excuse me, and I will share them on my blog whenever I get to that point It's just taking me a while to capture everything so tonight. I'm going to be making Hold on. Let me get the baby something So sorry y'all. Let's see Zoom zoom zoom. I'm gonna be making Jamaican jerk chicken pasta Which is very similar to Cajun chicken pasta or actually Rasta pasta So I have a lot going on here. Like I said, you don't have to do everything by the book I change up my recipes all the time, but I find that this works best for me Now I do have two chicken breasts in the fridge Just as a tip to avoid cross-contamination at least for me personally I do my veggies first cut up my all my veggies and everything first then I move on to the chicken I don't even take me out until this is cleared and out of the way It's sometimes you may see something there, but I'm very very picky about that I want to make sure we ain't running around with salamonella girl So Rasta pasta Jamaican jerk chicken pasta, whatever My point is is that it's gonna be spicy. It's gonna be good. It's gonna be full of flavor So what I have going on I have a bunch of peppers. I'll go through everything and if you have any questions, let me know So with the chicken itself once I'm done with everything, I will be seasoning it up pretty well So yeah, I know I'm all over the place. Let's start over here. So I have some Court screw pasta. You can use any type of pasta. You like pinae You can use fettuccine. I think in my opinion if you're making a pasta with sauce You want to use a type of pasta that's gonna hold the sauce. So in my I try to stay away from things like angel hair pasta Thin spaghetti do do linguine. Do fettuccine. Do pinae do both type of pasta. I absolutely love Quark screw pasta. Okay. I have some heavy cream here some butter Onion powder garlic powder Crushed red pepper. This is Jamaican jerk seasoning Paprika black pepper. I do have salt over here on the back end But I'm just using it as needed. Okay, because some of the stuff I'm using has sodium in it I have some flour now these green beans or four-side dish. I'm making I'm gonna be doing green beans with some Great tomato Sarah. I have some parsley garlic Chicken bouillon some green onions or scallions I have all different type of peppers here that I'm will be julienne style slicing up very thinly So we have one large jalapeno one red bell pepper green Orange orange and yellow. Y'all I think most of you know by now This is the same thing the bell peppers the same thing. It's just when they pick it depends on the color, okay? So I know people think that they're all different my husband I don't like I said it's the same type of pepper you being tricked by the color So I'm gonna go ahead cut up all my veggies. I like to place them in these bowls I take my time cooking because I love to cook. Okay. It's just relaxing to me But I'll try to come in stages come back on stages and show y'all what I'm doing. Hey y'all This is my hold on who I almost got a sneeze This is my chicken well seasoned girl well seasoned now It seems like a lot, but I'm gonna mix this up some and probably add someone later on look I'm the type when I you but I look at a recipe. I typically double up the season. I'm see I'm cooking by taste Those recipes don't have enough seasoning for me, baby. So Season this chicken breast. I butterfly it butterfly mean that you split in the chicken breast and in half So with two chicken breasts, I now have four it's gonna cook quicker. It's gonna be nice and juicy Okay, so I'm gonna moosh this around a little bit I'm going to blend this properly I'm gonna place it in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 15 to 20 minutes All right. So this is my water for the pasta net on the chicken boy on added one tablespoon of bullion It's probably not enough water to my water here. Now. I always boil I would say 75% of the time I always put chicken boy on and my water And it just makes it so much flavor from when I'm boiling pasta. I should say just makes it so flavorful y'all So I'm gonna add a little bit more water in here because I'm going to cook the entire box of pasta And this is basically going to kind of be a one pot meal because pasta is going to go in there Grow the chicken on the side, but everything else is going to go in this heavy pot here once it's done. Okay I'm gonna turn this off. All right. So I've drained off most of the water from this pasta About one quarter of a cup is left in there because it's going to act as a thickening agent Not that I need it with the heavy cream Went ahead and added some more seasonings. Okay. Let me tell you how to make Succulent moist chicken breast typically for me. I would turn this off. Excuse me I will finish this in the oven, but we have a pot for my oven. So what I'm going to do Cover it with the lid I'm going to turn it off. It's been cooking now for about eight minutes I'm gonna take the timer to eight more minutes Sorry Girl, yeah, it's the liquor. Hold on All right, eight minutes eight minutes. Hold on, baby It's off and it once it's done what once eight minutes is done I'm gonna take the lid off see if it's done. Hold on, baby See if it's done if it's not put it under under the broiler for like a minute or so it should be done I'm editing the supposed to be this week's video or I'm not even doing vlogs every week now I just don't have time to have to be every two weeks. So let me just clarify some things about Jay because I'm just speaking in code and not necessarily speaking in code. It doesn't make any damn sense what I'm saying. So Overall Summarize it and I'll put this at the beginning and then you'll see all the fullery coming up in bits and pieces as I'm going through Emotions over the past two weeks Which by the way, it's the very end of october. I will be uploading this particular vlog at the end of october, okay So jb is struggling with school on different levels We did have or I had a parent teacher conference with his teacher. It's been now a week and he Went down in every category when I said he was filling the first time that was the um report we got like That was the first one we got Now I've gotten another one since we've done this since I'm doing this vlog. We've gotten another one since then um And he has gone down In every category he has gone down and every subject He has gone down. He is in 70s and two of these sub I guess categories when it comes to english And I'm just like what the hell so you know, I'm talking to him. He's He's To only be six years old. He's so unmotivated And he's the one thing he says is he's bored And so with a child at this age or any age just to me is saying that they're bored That's to me. That means they're not challenged. Um It does not necessarily mean they don't like school And because he'll say that but and he loves to learn but he's just not challenged enough in this particular school In the classroom now upon speaking with his teacher at the parent teacher conference She did let me know they're changing the structure, which I will be some of this will be redone it Some of this would be repetitive. I'm just letting you know, um They're changing the layout of the classroom So what I had hoped to do was to find another school for my child and switch him maybe in Um march next year and my husband, you know, he's like, I don't know if that's a good idea You know, I'm like, but what do we what do we do then? It's just so it's so frustrating. I'm trying hard not to curse it. It's very frustrating JB takes everything literal literal So if the question says sammy had 10 cook no, this is going sammy had 10 computers Uh, three of them were destroyed. How many computers does he have left draw a picture? JB will spend 15 minutes drawing 10 computers 10 very detailed computers And I'm like JB just draw 10 circles just try and draw 10 sticks to figure out so because of that If I were to sit him there It will take him. This is not exaggerating. It would take him 30 to 45 minutes to do three math questions And to read a point He gets so off focus. He will take everything literal He doesn't want to do the questions going straight. He wants to do this one that one and this one or this one now And when I tell you I have no patience, I have no patience. This is why I wouldn't be able to homeschool I have zero patience. Y'all see me have patience with JB on cam because that's what you that's what I chose Choose to show you it's the time I'm being patient, but Down to two schools y'all. So if it works out, you know, and he could get into the Montessori school great If not, I will be speaking with his teacher more than likely after the after the holidays And I will not be approaching her with the notion that you know what my my son is bored What are you not doing because I don't want she they're already stressed out with work But it's going to be a um What would you suggest at this point? What else could we be doing at home? What could we be doing in addition at school? Um Can I sit in on a couple of classes? Oh, yeah, we we have to get you have to get into this stuff early and start this um This habit of being inclusive in your child's education. That's how I feel Good morning. Good morning. Good morning, you guys Girl, it's early in the morning Um Oh, yeah, it's been a whirlwind of a week. It is Saturday I um We have just one thing to do. We have an outdoor Festival that we're going to later on. I don't think I'm going to film that because it's going to be very crowded um Yeah, it's just gonna be too crowded and I need my hands free to help jay v So Yeah, it's going to put to the what to what I don't film Throughout the weave logging that much. I just don't have time and I just don't want to a lot of the times um I want to stay focused on the things I need to do my to-do lists getting longer and longer We are getting Typically around this time we're getting things start to slow down at work as far as client goes But now I'm on projects for internal stuff So I know I said I would do vlogmas That's gonna be hard to do um Yeah, I think I will I'll give you all this. I will vlog more often But my vlogmas won't be every day. It will probably be Three to four times a week even that stretch and I'm just it's getting busy for me at home life and work And that's a priority over this youtube stuff. This is a hobby. Okay um Yeah, that's what's going on today. I do have a hair video to do hence the background I'm not sure if I like this yellow background y'all because I have yellow undertones in my skin It's making me look different on cam. I have both actually but it's making me look different on cam. Um I may go back to the gray Yeah, I think I will Actually, I don't even think I Jamie just woke up I gotta do his hair today. That may be a video Hey pumpkin I'm glad that you're finally getting up Hey you guys look I switched to these black frames because it's Cooler weather out here now. It's cooler weather everywhere but I thought that these glasses wouldn't work because I couldn't when I first was wearing them They were making me dizzy. Then I'm thinking girl. You're switching your glasses in the middle of the day Don't do that do it the next morning So y'all Let me explain something real quick because it's not going to make any sense I had to delete some footage in the middle of this vlog because oh, I didn't upload it I was booing and crying Um because it has to deal with jay b. He is not doing well in school. He is felling a couple of subtopics especially in um Subjects, I should say especially in English. Sorry y'all. He keeps interrupting me. Um And so he's he tells me like every day since he started school I was hoping he would adjust better and the reason why I'm concerned is because his boredness his I really not focused is affecting his work. Some of the other kids when I spoke into their parents are like, yeah Their mother specifically they're like, yeah, um, yeah, my child doesn't like school either, but he's doing good JB's not It's just heartbreaking because I can tell you know, my child is smart, you know, he's not above average He will sit back and watch things unravel before jumping in which which I really do admire. He gets that from his daddy his father so we are interviewing we're doing school tour starting next week actually and If not, then I need to really speak with the principal and or teacher. I already had a teacher come teacher parent conference I'm not at the position mentally where I could homeschool But we will be pulling him out before middle school to homeschool It's just that right now he is so high energy when I tell you this child is always up there It is exhausting and I do everything by myself still at this moment and y'all I do I know I get comments every now. Why cannot well can my husband do this? He's not here girl. He's not here to help Like I guess I have to repeat this over and over my husband even sees JB maybe twice a week And when he when he is here, he does help he take JB to places He helps him or tell him around well, basically tell him around his bathwater Helps him with his homework, you know stuff that that helps. Um, because he is off probably once Once every two weeks doing the day day time. Isn't that crazy every other time it's on the weekend. So Hey you guys, I know girl. It's all types of Stuff going on. Um here in East screamer yelling. I'm at JB school Um, yeah, I'm in a better mood today. I've just been just I've been on the emotional roller coaster Just a little bit stress, you know work is getting busy. It's always busy this time of the year, but It's really busy going on now. Yeah, sorry. The lightest off is a little bit better Let me lean back some. Yeah, that's better. Um Also was in a bit of a mood because um My neighbors and a bit a bit of a mood when I'm out of the story about cupcake I'm not trying to be funny the baby. Um, what is her name y'all? Sorry y'all Camille McKinney disappeared almost seven days ago while attending a birthday party She was there apparently either with her. I think it was her 11 year old cousin or brother. That's still whatever so When I tell you I broke down I knew that, you know after four or five days, they wouldn't find the baby alive But to discard her like she was trash Is absolutely heartbreaking She's only three years old Two people have been charged and her murder. This is out in alabama Two people have been charged out in alabama and what sickens me to my core besides the fact that they Discorded her body like she was nothing like she was trash that she wasn't a human being Um, there are y'all there are demonic spirits at play. I don't care what anyone says that a real human being Would not do something like that so, um What breaks my heart is the one guy had child pornography on his phone So there is no telling what she had to endure before She died and it just breaks my heart. I just don't understand why Why you have to pray on someone who is absolutely defenseless. It's just Do I we I know we would never understand that So, um, y'all moving on from that that really that was a real bit trigger. I mean, that's just horrible Just absolutely horrible. They should get the death. They they shouldn't even like try those people They know clearly one of them confessed to it. They need to go ahead and You know, they don't deserve to live in other words um On to some healthy healthier More positive news. It is the fall time. Y'all hold on. Let me fix this this light Very good. Now you can see me girl Um, it is the fall season. So that means fall festivals We had our first quote-unquote fall thing last week I didn't record it because it just wasn't in the mood to record and plus it was really crowded there um JB school is having their fall festival This there's actually two fall festivals going on friday night or friday But when we did that last year, I was tired. So i'm only going to do the School festival Then in two more weeks not don't really have anything going on saturday Try to i'm gonna try to go to church on sunday because JB had a fever this past sunday And I think it was due to the flu shot.
