 Good morning y'all. Happy Saturday. It is Vlogmas Day 5 and it's actually my mom's birthday today. We're actually both Sagittarius and her birthday is 10 days apart from me. Mine is on the 25th of November. I'm actually meeting my friend Cindy this morning. We met in Austin because she went to FSU and like we just met through Instagram. But she moved to Austin and then during coronavirus she like thought it would be a good time to just like try other places. So she's in Atlanta now which is honestly really cool that she could just like go wherever. Obviously everyone's remotely working right now. But we're gonna try out a new place and literally don't know where I am. I think peach tree or something. I don't know. I see peach tree lots. I'm guessing peach tree but I could be totally wrong. We're gonna try tree house. There's no freaking parking anywhere. It almost looks like it's in a neighborhood and obviously there's no parking signs everywhere. So I'm just sitting while Sydney asked her friend where we should park because she got the wreck from her friend. This is Sydney. You guys may remember her from my Austin vlog. She used to live in Austin and now she's in Atlanta. Why are you here in Atlanta? That's a really good question. Who knows? I got this all messed up. Here I might go back to Austin. Who knows? We got her breakfast. I got eggs Benedict. Looks delish and then she got an omelet. We just got done with brunch and we're just over here like right next to tree house and we're gonna take some pictures because I have not taken content and like so long it feels like but now that I'm in the city with Sydney. I'm ready to be fun Instagram boyfriend. I've got this. These are so cute. Yay. Literal master. Me and Sydney were actually looking up like Instagramable places in Atlanta and it said like what? Piedmont park? Botanical gardens. I was like this is like 2012 Instagramable. You know what I mean? Like yeah like I feel like the word we are looking for is aesthetic and I feel like this is perfect and especially because like the other place we were just at the light was like way too harsh because it's like 12 or one or something like that middle of the day. Light not the best. Yeah. Yay. It's almost 2 p.m. I was about to head over to my mom's house but then she said come by like 3 30 because she's getting her floors redone and she thinks they'll be done by then so then I was like I'll just go to Starbucks because I still have to edit yesterday's vlogmas video and that will be nice because it will just be like no distractions kind of thing um and I haven't sat in a coffee shop in forever. I'm I'm guessing it's open to sit um I'll probably just have my mask on the whole entire time. I am just excited to like work somewhere else other than like a home base. Also it's kind of weird because Austin had mandatory masks but in Georgia every place can tell you whether they require a mask or not. Obviously I still wear my mask so if you're wondering why other people in the back are like not wearing masks that's why. I remember I was like at home goods I was like taking a little video clip and the guy behind me I realized wasn't wearing a mask I was like oh my god like that's so weird but I guess it's not because they really don't have to wear a mask but it's just weird because I'm so used to Austin's rules and obviously I'm wearing a mask like I said so I'm gonna head in do some work get this video published and then head over my mom's. Alright so never mind I guess I was wrong their seating isn't open which is weird because I I think that Austin's seating is open so it's just weird how everything's different like you just never know I guess but I think I don't know what I'm gonna do I guess maybe I'll just go to my mom's and like work outside but we'll see. Okie dokie I made it to my mom's house I almost felt like I was gonna fall asleep in the car so I was like mommy and caffeine so I got my matcha and this is the first matcha vlog my switch is very unlike me I guess I haven't been asleep usually but I did try this like matcha drink that is like uh energy kind of thing and it was disgusting because like all of them want to be like healthy and clean and they don't have sugar and I'm like I need my sugar so yes and it's also my mom's birthday but she doesn't want to be in it right now you'll be in it later right? Sure okay so sorry for the construction noises my mom's getting her floors redone but I wanted to show you guys the cookies that I've been making at my mom's house they're so good they're vegan cookies but I don't think the chocolate chips are vegan right like the ones I used you can get vegan chocolate chips but so we start with chia seeds or flax seeds the last time we did chia there's not much of like a difference in the taste so we're just going to go with chia seeds again chia seeds are an egg replacement to make a chia egg you take one spoon one tablespoon of chia and then two tablespoons of water so my mom used to print out recipes at her old job not for her work but I guess what she was bored and she put my my um recipe in the front where it belongs because we are always searching for it through a pile of freaking paper yeah let's see what else you got here all vegan or what well no these are things that I've collected over 25 years are you serious yeah so like at work yeah somebody will have the best like this was Jeff Moore's key lime pie that's a co-worker of yours yeah this was an old co-worker I have so many co-workers that's kind of cute this was Lauren clocker's blackberry wine cake um blueberry loaf cake wait I have some really good have you made them oh um so you remember the pineapple and cheddar cheese cat uh casserole yeah okay thanks it's yeah I've got that somewhere here okay this is bob keller's pineapple and then Brenda Crawford had the same thing so I just wrote down both okay so this is my mother-in-law's recipes yeah all of this uh some of them like this I don't think I'd be able to read that if I tried and this is um biryani yeah but this was written by a cousin of mine when she went to my mother-in-law's house so my cousin used to visit my mother-in-law in India and then my mother-in-law would make um her write down the recipes so that's why it's written legibly these are just recipes I've collected over the years a little bit more water my mom's new floor so we literally just drove all over Georgia in stock they did not and they didn't have it in how rude and for my mom's birthday dinner we have zikas obviously chicken's I see five which is pretty much like uh Indian chicken nuggets and then this is like a tangy savory sauce no not even savory it's sweet and then I have a mango lassi yummy this is my sister what's your name Nisha I'm still fish add an A boom you know what I was thinking I feel like a lot of people do pronounce your name like Nisha because there's more names that are like that like a Nisha you know it's also weird because I feel like you always have short hair how did the right did your hair get so long right I was looking at pictures and I was literally yeah I know lost this over our hair grows so fast and I think I should cut it cut it video if you think my sister should cut my hair oh I thought you meant my hair I was like oh man it's a little short no I think you should cut it for your vlogmas all right it's a lot comment down below should I cut it wait turn here trim here no or here buzz cut I honestly think I would pull off a buzz cut just cutting my wooden my face is too round I guess we wouldn't be able to know if we didn't try that's true let's do it carrot cake I'm not so German chocolate okay you got both what I asked for thank you how old are you turning today 52 years old wow I didn't even tell people keep asking me who's older and it's really annoying this is where we get our good hair from show it off show it off it's thicker than mine yes happy birthday to you
