 Okay, I'm back could ever that I lose all of you Well, I'm almost done eating so I thought I'll just go back because then I can actually talk and this might be better So hopefully some of you join welcome back to the live. I'm having lunch Keto pancakes with some bacon. I already ate it Honestly, it tastes amazing. I've been eating eat meat or meat beans and eggs and I'm so sick of it I barely like any of that Well, my screw it. I'm making this and then We'll be eating whatever I want and Thanksgiving. Let's be clear So I host Thanksgiving every year for the last couple years anyway and Sometimes we have 70 I think this year we're gonna have less like 40 maybe so that's nice But it's the best we do everything Thanksgiving. There's only American food allowed here. No kiwi food Not a Thanksgiving So we watch the Macy's Day Parade we have food we play American football Think we might do some shooting this year. I don't know So my target shops because that's what you do hunting is that Thanksgiving is a kickoff of hunting season if you don't know Whatever you believe about that. I'm just telling you what's happening. I'm not a hunter So yeah, what where are you guys joining me from and have you ever had Thanksgiving? Do you like sweet pumpkin pie? Did you know that one in four Americans avoid Thanksgiving because of the arguments So uncomfortable that people literally don't go It's an old statistic But it's like it's um It's an old statistic, but you know, I couldn't find anything newer like 2017 The number one topic they want to avoid is obviously politics. You don't guys really understand that if you live in New Zealand But it's outrageous. Oh my gosh, thank you for sharing you had Thanksgiving with a Canadian not sure what that's like What was your favorite dish? Mmm, I'm like you believe I'm eating this whole thing So the problem is I've been eating good losing pounds. It's working. I'm just Starving all the time. So I think I have to eat more but the problem is I'm probably just eating food. I don't Changing it up getting better just getting better all around just you know, the reality is I just need to lose some of the spot Mm-hmm It's just true. We can all try to be nice to each other, but sometimes the truth hurts and needs to hurt in order for change to happen You know my you know what it's like Or maybe you don't and that's annoying so don't talk to me about it Okay, so My American cookbooks getting printed in time for Christmas if you want one it'll be done About the 8th of December and then I'll ship it to you. I am pre-selling them now. So the link is in the description Because I finalize the order, but I can always add more because but once I decide I can't print anymore And once I sell out I'm sold out. Oh, sorry. I really didn't mind the turkey. It's not the meat I'm used to see that's so interesting. Yeah, they don't have turkey like the most popular sandwich in the US is turkey I'm like you can't even get like turkey in the deli. So that's always interesting here So, yeah, sorry, I'm sorry. I'm all over the place. Welcome to my So this is actually what the cover is gonna look like it looks better. Don't you think than this one? too small So we've got the pumpkin pie recipe in here. It's great sloppy joes Cornbread the this is how you make an actual hamburger like I can't eat them here No, yeah, no turkey bacon in New Zealand had do we hit we might but it's not very many places Okay, you guys I Was at New World yesterday. Did I say this? Sorry if I said this yesterday. I don't know what I'm saying. Um, I Don't think so. No, maybe I did the prices were so high that I started laughing I didn't know how else to handle it. I just kind of came out as laughter. Oh Okay, I'm running here. Sorry. Now I can see it was like there's all this stuff. I couldn't read your question. Um, If you're considering a move to New Zealand start with Did I put the link in the description?

I guess it's really what you used to Yeah, look to the site kiwiamericans.com. That's all that's where you start. It's all on there I'm here to help watch the youtube channel. I kind of talk about everything Um, the whole journey. I'm not holding back. Um, I'm just providing what I'm doing is I'm providing information And resources that I wish I would have had because I didn't know anybody I came here. I didn't know anything So that's all um So, yeah, what was I talking about? Oh Thanksgiving like there's a lot of arguments and political talk And so I did a video on helping people with that. Hopefully that's full because I was like I feel bad Okay, you guys are I'm sorry berry like you guys aren't going to sell me on the beetroots. I'm not I've had it Plenty of times here and I don't it's not the vibe for me It's good for you. So that's good. You know, maybe I should learn to like it But you know the cheeseburger is the cheeseburger The only company in New Zealand that I have thought made the most amazing burgers that I would actually order They've got better in well, I said my husband will eat them, but I'm a little more particular um What was I saying um is cereal griller up north the best We do a lot of smash burgers here in our house. So Oh, man, those are good, but I've only had them once Okay, do you know if I'm a who's can my american husband come and live with me if we return to new zealand Okay, really burger fuel really I'm sorry. I think berry. I think you just need to get this and You can get the e-book version if you don't want this one There's an e-book version too. It doesn't matter whichever one suits you. This is how you make a burger It's in here the secrets in there Um Sorry, the question is I'm a kiwi citizen. Can my american husband move here? Yes, so immigration has changed a lot over the last month And there's lots of options now In fact, though it for the like average person to go in there and try to figure out what to do with immigration. It's hard so My recommendation is I have some immigration people that I recommend just give a call and they'll say which visa makes sense, but generally if one of you is a new zealand citizen or whatever Even permanent resident. It's much easier and there's just new pathways that didn't exist before and The problem is is that I can't say this scenario is this pathway This are you know, like I've sat down with immigration and they're just like nobody can give me a straight answer So what it's done is opened up a huge business for these immigration lawyers and consultants because You know, it's not easy for anybody to figure out I never hired anybody just everything on the immigration site was all I needed and I figured it out on my own But like it's almost impossible to do that now because of the point system is complicated There's so many different pathways, so Oh, okay. Thanks, Barry Barry has my my um Cookbook already Okay, so yeah, so I don't I don't think that that should be a problem There is a new government. So immigration could change because of the new government. I mean, that's just how it is so Anyway, good questions other questions Oh, thank you tyrone. I like that name tyrone tyrone He's just saying thank you for my videos essentially Um, you're welcome. I mean, I like I don't know how long I can talk about this Like I keep thinking last year at this time. I was like, I can't possibly talk about New Zealand anymore, but yet I am I'm still talking about I love talking about it's easy to talk about I'm trying to move into different areas like marketing communication, but then I'm all back here like I don't know We'll see Do they eat pumpkin pie in New Zealand? No, they do not in fact they struggle with the pumpkin pie being sweet And so I you know have helped him with that I host some Thanksgiving every year anybody's welcome And you can try a pumpkin pie and I make a lot of them and I hide some because we need some for the leftovers So just being straight Uh, yeah, so but yeah, they they eat pumpkin like Savory is the word that they would use and Oh my gosh when I first came here I got invited to first first Invite first house. I went to first of all had to ask her for directions I think and I am not exaggerating 12 times 12 times because I could not understand what she was saying with accent and there's no way I could find her house if I couldn't write down The address or the directions that she was saying. Oh, it was so bad. So she was um, I had to spell out everything It was so embarrassing But when we went there for a lot, it was so nice of her to invite me and my kids We get there and she served pumpkin soup and the look on my kids Was like it's not that they don't eat Squash or pumpkin soup, but it's not for kids this bright orange Thing my kids were like two to 12 years old or one to 12 years old It's good and I love it now and they love it now. It's just that we weren't used to it We only think pumpkin. We think sweet, right? So it's the same for you guys and so I'm like I looked at them I gave them the eyes Of like you better eat that because like I don't know these people were in a different country like eat it And I am just like oh my gosh And so when I I've made it since because it's a very cheap meal in season and it's good for you So we're having it and I make like the Thai pumpkin soup version and people like that and um Yeah, it's hard to understand the New Zealand accent just you know um That's a certain one certain ones are worse But like I've made it before and like my kids will come to dinner and they're just like Haven't we learned this lesson? Why are we making pumpkin soup? And I'm like just try it you don't have to my rule in my house is you have to try it We have to you have to try it if you really hate it You don't have to eat it. There's other you can just make something else But like you have to try it. You can't just be like no because this is bright orange And so they they love it the Thai the Thai spice with the pumpkin They like and so that works and so if you need a recipe with pumpkin soup try that one I don't have a specific one, but I just had a Thai pumpkin soup What's amazing to me and let's talk about this is the people that are like aged. How do I say 20 and lower Why is it not their first instinct to google something when they don't know it? I is it just me I've been watching some videos other people are finding this That you know, I think it's maybe the problem where like we grew up with encyclopedias The library I I want to look up something and I get one paragraph of of information for my report And there's nowhere else to find it right unless I go and research it so When google or the internet or whatever you do your search what search engine you prefer okay, um It was amazing and so like for us. I think from our perspective we're like, oh Yes, we just google anything. You don't know you can just google it or you know ai it now, but The fact that the younger generation didn't grow up with that differentiation I think it has it they I it's shocking to me. How many times I run into people like Well, how much is it? Oh my gosh, look it up. Like these are not questions you should ask I've seen people come on facebook or tiktok and just be like I'm stuck in my car because I don't know what to do, you know Something's not working. So and you haven't googled it. Like how is that not your first thought? So like who's with me on this? Oh, yes, Michael McIntyre and so funny uh Okay, and you're 19. Okay google and chat gbt is your favorite from Sarasota, florida And you use that. Thank you. I'm I don't mean to generalize But I just it seems to be a certain generation and that they're just not googling it even my kids It's I'm like, what do you mean? Why are you asking me this question? You google it? I don't know Where to go to the doctor? Look it up. Where to go to the dentist? Look it up. Like, I don't know I figured out the difference. Okay. I'm with you. Okay. Thank you tj So are you 19 and like seeing other people like being dumb about this? Like, I don't know There's just certain questions that I would say are how do I say this are like You shouldn't be asking people like you actually sound dumb like I don't okay When was that where was I this summer? Somebody was like, you know, my my mom Every time I needed to go somewhere She would like verbally give me instructions Then you're going to pass by the bp and then you're going to go and you're going to take her right here And I'm like, why are you telling me this? because There's google maps mother like do you not use it So it's probably like both book ends of generations So we in the middle are living in bliss and those guys are struggling Not that google knows everything but it's pretty good. Um Yes, the fish and chips and the fish and chips Fuck Oh fush and ships. I don't know don't even Like literally, yes. Yes tj everything at your fingertips. And why are you bothering me with a question? Like one of my friends my kid's friends was like Asked me all these questions like we're going to go to this event like well, how much is it? I'm like, what is I just Just look it up like what are the I don't know depends you want that you have qualified for the chat I just feel like we need to teach them. They need to learn to use google. I don't know what to tell you So yes american cookbook You can get the e version as well available for christmas for all of your gifts You guys know you have gifts to give give this Um, I don't have no prowl. I just love promoting it because I'm just very excited to have something physical to promote And I'm a marketing person and I just I've been selling a lot. So don't worry if you don't want it. No worries, but Only if you're in new zealand by the way, like I'm only shipping to new zealand Dan would they say dance and they say dance dance and dance Is that what you're saying? I don't know. I don't know what you're saying. It's too hard when it's tight So if you're in america, are you excited about Thanksgiving? What's your favorite dish of Thanksgiving? I Am completely and utterly Avoiding work right now I'm so I am so behind Oh so happy to talk to you and then to Crank this out once I get into it. I'm fine. It's just like that getting into it, right? So I just need to get into it. I feel a lot better now. I was so hungry There's no chance it was happening You know, like, you know, you're so hungry when your mind just keeps going back to food back to food back to food whatever so Um pecan pie. Yes, pecan pie is going to be at my Thanksgiving this year too. I'm very excited Oh The pecan pie my great-grandmother used to make it. It was like, oh my gosh. It was like so amazing My my grandmother's that cooked on a farm in Ohio. The food was It was next level It was next level. There was no dieting. It was you're going to eat it But it was all like organic which was more than you know, you were really getting in the supermarkets at that time when I was growing up Okay, I do not enjoy pumpkin pie or the bean casserole. Yeah, I don't like the bean I mean, do you mean green bean casserole because I like the green bean casserole But I don't like like the five bean casserole that they do Um, that's okay. If you don't like pumpkin pie more for those that like it I mean, would I say pumpkin? I do like pumpkin pie. I love my favorite pie is cherry pie Hands up for anybody that loves cherry pie. My number two favorite pie is rhubarb pie Because that that perfect sweet sour is unbelievable And then I love lemon meringue pie, but not the way they make it here I don't know what the hell you're doing to lemon meringue. You know what? I know what you're doing to lemon meringue here in new zealand is your lemons are too sweet That's the problem. I my husband asked me recently how come we never have lemon, you know, because he knows I love lemon like lemon bars like lemon anything and I'm like, let me tell you why because the lemons here are too sweet They're not sour enough to get that That sourness Oh the green bean casserole is a no You miss the mac and cheese from america. Yes. We're having lots of mac and cheese Um, so what we do is I have everybody bring stuff and multiple things because like when I'm trying to feed 70 people and I bake a lot So what I do is I have people sign up and then I always do like the turkey stuffing gravy and then And pumpkin pies, but then I fill in all the other things. So it just has to be like I don't have to make it but like You have to understand like as americans there's one time a year that you have an expectation of certain foods and it's coming Yeah, I know 70 people And we use paper plates because that's what you would do in america, but it's whatever Biodegradable that's the word biodegradable no worries But no this year, I think maybe 35. So not that many It's like all my teenagers are gone. And so um, well two of them anyway, and they're all their friends They always have a lot of friends Paper plates. Oh no, do you do? No, I've never had a trifle Yes, I'm saying that out loud. I've never people always ask me. Have you had a trifle? I'm yeah, I'm not washing dishes I've been cooking for three days Um, oh my gosh, don't even say the Trader Joe's. I love Trader Joe's It's a grocery store in the u.s. If you don't know it's fantastic tuna tuna tuna is popular that like you'll see tuna sandwiches um You know tuna melts and kind of had a lot of restaurants. Um, it's a popular um lunch Food You know turkey you guys also don't eat the turkey, but yeah, if you're not used to the turkey Here's a true story. True story is I had the best turkey of my life in New Zealand Like the way that you guys everything you make is good here It's just probably because you know the way that you raise animals is more. Um, I know I know Trader Joe's Trader Joe's actually carries a lot of New Zealand products when I moved back to the u.s It was um, they had a lot of the cheese there um The butter the New Zealand butter is there the wine is there all the New Zealand like the good wines are there So yeah, so Trader Joe's is good for New Zealand products do that. Did they have the honey? I think they had the honey too So that's nice. Sorry. Sorry So sorry, I like actually brushed my hair and like wore a nice shirt like don't be deceived because I have on my I have pajamas and my slippers um But I had a meeting today. I had to give a present presentation And then it was canceled. So gosh, I brushed my hair and put some makeup on for no reason. Hey, look at this. Look at this. Look at this This is it says tis the season pumpkin spice Who can guess who I got this from? And like literally two days. This is from somebody in America Two days before I got on the flight. I'm like, I can't fit this in my bag. I was already overweight I was pulling stuff out and putting clothes on in the airport true story Because I just love to buy things in the u.s. But guess who gave this to me Yeah, that's right. Christy Christy who I have on my channel, which I haven't because I keep asking her and then she doesn't do it and then I forget about it and So Christy so she loves the gnomes Hence she has gnomes all over her house. I don't know what the big fuss is but she loves the gnomes and I love the pumpkin spice so She says you have to bring it back So I ended up carrying this through all the airports and using it on the plane, which was nice on the plane But it was really annoying. Anyway, thanks Christy Oh gosh, she's after 12 already. Okay, I better get going So I am going to be making Thanksgiving on Friday Like I prep at the day before, you know, because I got all these people coming and Certain things I can only cook in the morning and that's fine But I just like to then be able to clean everything up and cut up everything House Christy's son doing it uni. Yeah, he's good. He's playing football for Iowa some Iowa school in Iowa and she was just there and he played half the game and Her other son was playing. Um, was he doing field hockey in? Pennsylvania, but then he like entered his back and he's out. So that's disappointing. But yeah, huge athletes in her family Amazing. Um Yeah, so I'm going to be live. I don't know what time so don't ask me I don't know. I got to finish work and then I got to start cooking So probably around noon probably all afternoon because the turkey will take a long time and I use, um Oddly I use Jamie Oliver's recipe So and it's you guys should watch it so good So I don't know how much talking I'll do but you can watch and make sure you get the American book if you're interested in this or you need a gift If you're also in the states you can check out my quarter keeper is going to be in Inventory in like two days. I haven't struggled because I redesigned it to make it better So if you are an Aldi shopper and need a key chain to hold your quarter You can get mine. Just email me if you want to know I'll send you a link But they're great And I keep selling out people have found people must be shopping at Aldi all the time because I am selling out of those quarter keepers and Like I can't keep them in inventory and then like I just wanted to make them a little bit better before Christmas But now I'm kind of shooting myself in the foot because it might not get there by black friday Which is stressing me out. So there's that I also sell candy glow cones For your next party or event those are also sold out. I keep selling out Am I bad at inventory management? I might be and I think that that's why um I'm stressed about how many to order of these I'm ordering 200. I think that that's enough I don't want to stack. I want to just sell them and I want to be done But then a lot of people are telling me to get a lot more That's why that's the main reason why I'm asking you to buy them because I'm just like So then I know How many to get so if I like have sold 50 already then I'm going to know I'll probably buy more. So that's that's the reason But anyway, I hope you guys have a lovely tuesday
