You remember when we over there Yeah, hey, I just want to let y'all know dirty word Yes, it is we pre-sold this one right here. Hey, don't didn't uh Shopify call us. It was like, hey, bro Is this for real? Yeah, they thought we were they thought we thought it was a scam much money There was just so much money in there before any well, we should say that we had a lot of orders Yeah, I'm sorry. Yeah, we had quite a few orders come in And For those of you guys that don't know if you start a Shopify account or PayPal And you get a lot of orders, but there's no corresponding tracking information. They tend to think it's fraud. So We had a hell of a time dealing with that With the with the cookbook. So anybody that's in business thinking about doing a pre-sale I'm not a fan of it, but it works for you know, as long as you work it right Hey, you know what? I remember you had to fly down to help us. Uh, oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, we couldn't even have Yeah multiple times just trying to keep up with this book was like, uh A problem child a little bit To get it out. It took a lot of work And it's my first our first first book Hey, this was the experience sentimental value right there. I learned a lot. I didn't even have any tattoos really had a few None on the arms yet probably about Five ten pounds lighter in that picture too Me too Me too So celestial davin port has a question to rinse or not rinse your grits before cooking. I thought she would say chicken Oh, I thought you were going to say green. Good question. I usually don't personally Pardon me. Oh I don't either. Yeah, I don't let me know I think a lot of it so A lot of the starchiness that comes with some of these things that we're rinsing Help with certain dishes. So like with grits, especially if you do like a stripping grits recipe I kind of want that Starchiness to be present to kind of it helps with the consistency of the dish if you're washing a lot of that out I don't know exactly what you're trying to achieve Um, personally, so I usually don't And then look, I just saw Just as an observation from from yesterday When you do your pasta noodles, you don't always just like you're not trying to stop the cooking process So you come out a little earlier correct and just let them Like I heavily salt the pasta water if we rinse it. I don't want to rinse any of that off Because I'm counting on that pasta to have a you know, a little seasoning on it. Okay. All right. Got you Pro tips folks Should I'm still learning? Yeah, that's what it's all about man. That's right. Me too Well job says I just joined. Where do I buy the cookbook? Good question. All right, so Mitzy I think yeah She'll put it up on the screen right now. So you guys gonna check it out You know, I mean, uh, go ahead get it. Look, we got sign copies.

I live in downtown la with no backyard Nikki's getting fit 74 Man you I had to be creative with that. I'll probably have to use my my smoker I got like an indoor smoker. It's like a smoke gun made by breville. It's got a long hose This I wish I had it right now because I'd always get the topic going. Yeah, how much are those about 99 bucks? That's not too bad. No, no 100 bucks. Yep Then you got to get yourself like a little dome put your plate underneath the bottom of that Put the hose underneath that and then there's the part to get everybody when you load it with the pellets on the top And the way you light it like this You don't see it. It didn't start smoking. That was tough. Oh, yeah It gets everybody going. You know what I mean? But yeah, you can do it that way. You can uh I don't know if I don't think being in la you can't even really uh barbecue like Like no open flame on your balcony or nothing like that. So, uh, that's that's kind of tough as far as the smoke goes So that'd be the best way I would do it. Shelly Dickerson says what about liquid smoke? Liquid smoke works. I'm probably the only only person that you know in the barbecue world That'll say I endorse it because sometimes I add it to you know certain recipes just a dash or two Smoke paprika is a good way to do you got smoke season and smoke salt smoke paprika Things of that nature can give you a little smoky element Extra smoky barbecue sauce can help with that Maybe put the barbecue sauce on the chicken Add the liquid smoke to the barbecue sauce to amplify the smoky flavor Put it in the oven let that sauce caramelize and you kind of get the replication of A smoked chicken probably would be the way I would do it After you guys ever take it go to google and ask google how do you make a Liquid smoke after you find out how you make it. I don't know. Yeah, how you do it? Yeah, I just let everybody look it up. Okay. You know, I mean just look it up. Is it bad for me? No, it's good for it. No, it's it's it's real smoke though. Okay. I just take it out and it come out of the It come out of the uh The ducks Oh, yeah, but they clean it do all that kind of shit though. Okay. Alleged me Alleged because I just say it's filtered water.
