I didn't know people rode so hard for mustard. Truly shocking.
I love how many different variations of mustards there are. Dijon, honey mustard, spicy brown mustard, basic yellow, jalapeño mustard, horseradish mustard...they are all delicious! But I also love ketchup!
Ketchup on a hotdog is HEAVEN and I'm not even from Chicago
As someone who cannot stand the taste or smell of mustard, I was boggled
i have mustard almost every day....but i eat for the condiments, usually.
I worked at a grocery store for YEARS and lots of parents with strollers would use their stroller to shop instead of the shopping carts. When you have a baby that small, if someone is going to give you a hard time for trying to make your life easier that seems like a them problem. Trust me, we can tell who is shoplifting and who is going to end up paying, so do whatever is easiest for you, Becky!!
matt: *speaks italian*
becky and rainie: 🤭🥵
queen shit
Fire!! Lol 😍🤩
"Pepita Talks Twice" is a great children's book about why it is good to be bilingual and has a mildly surprising ending
You guys should do you can sit with us @ the dinner table with Matt. And have him teach and make one easy traditional Italian meal!! He should teach everyone how to say the ingredients in Italian!! I would really enjoy that :) please like so they can see this!!!
"Eat With Us" and Keith can be a guest
LOVE this idea! commenting to help boost
This is such a good idea!!!
As someone who works for an optometrist, I adore the factual understanding that Matt is showing and teaching with! Everyone should go to the eye doctor once a year if able, just to check your eye health!
They wash them and that’s why store bought eggs are refrigerated since there is no protective coating on the outside of the shells.
I have chickens and also lived in europe for a while! Eggs have a protective coating on them called the bloom. They wash the outside of the eggs in the grocery store in the US so they lose this coating and therefore they have to be refrigerated. If you get your eggs from chickens or quails (like matt) they can sit on the counter for 2 weeks cause they still have the bloom! In Europe (germany at least) the grocery store eggs aren't washed so they sit in the store unrefrigerated and also sit in your home on the counter. Most people just give them a rinse before cracking them
I believe this is everywhere in Europe. At least in all the countries I've lived in and visited the eggs are not refrigirated.
NGL when Matt introduced the podcast, I fully expected him to go "I'm one of your hosts Becky" because I'm just so used to hearing that 😂
I'm a former glasses maker. Well, specifically I'd make the lenses for the frames sent to us and fit them inside. The lenses start off as big hockey puck chunks of plastic and you slowly cut and smooth them down to match the prescription. I was hired from a craigslist ad-- I remember being so surprised that anyone could be trained to make them. I've worn glasses since Kindergarten and my prescription is around -10 with an astigmatism. I got to make my own glasses :]
Matt thinking 60 degrees Celsius is 300 farenheight is so funny to me 😂
And by extension, thinking that 60F would be enough to kill germs
I was listening on spotify and came here just for this comment. As a Canadian who is vaguely familiar with Fahrenheit I was cracking up. 60C is about 140F lol
Eggs are sanitized in the US to help avoid salmonella! So not pasteurization, but it's still a cleaning process done in the US. The coating of the egg that helps keep it fresh also gets washed off, so you need to refrigerate your eggs in the US so they don't spoil.
This is right ^ in Europe and other countries they are cleaned so their eggs aren't put in the fridge ! Same with milk in France is sold at room temperature!!!
@@brownguy8223 oh didn't know that about milk! I know about the eggs because I had a coworker who had chickens and would gift eggs 😊
For the children’s book question I gotta say Le Petite Prince is so endearing and can even be enjoyed by adults. It has a much deeper meaning, it’s very philosophical, and is well written. (Although, I’ve only read it in French)
Fun fact: some people can get cataracts earlier than others because some medications make you more likely to develop them earlier. Also, you can have more than one type of cataract at a time. My mom had 3 on one eye and 2 on another when she had hers removed.
I was born with a cataract in my left eye. As such I developed glaucoma in that eye at 15. By age 65, 90% of people will develop cataracts (it's a natural build up of proteins on the lens), but only about 17% get cataract surgery. Babies are also born with a protective coating (vernix), just like eggs are. 🥚 are washed in the US which removes the protective coating, which is why we must refrigerate them.
I worked for a lab that studies cataract surgery. What happens with the old lens: They stick a couple instruments under your cornea to chop up the old lens and suck it away with (basically) a tiny vacuum. They do a little more vacuuming to clean out the remaining gunk. Finally, they insert a tube containing the new lens, which comes out and unfolds, and they spin it around to make sure it's properly placed.
Just had my 2nd cataract surgery done two weeks ago. Your description is bang on. It is amazing the difference now that both eyes have been done.
The classic fairy tales seem pretty violent to many, but children are learning to handle their emotions and stories can make feelings safe (The Uses of Enchantment by Bruno Betelheim). When Max was done feeling wild, he came back to his own room where someone loved him best, and his food "was still warm".
Agreed, I think a lot of kids stories start with validating the fact that kids aren't always happy so it's showing them how to manage those big feelings & that they're still lovable at the end
60 C is 140 F. Boiling is 100 C and 212 F.
If Try LLC makes a podcast one thing will be true. The hosts will find a way to talk about Eggs. 😂😂😂😂😂 Hahahahaha
Most eggs in US grocery stores are washed but not pasteurized. This is because most pathogenic bacteria will be found on debris from the barn and can cross contaminate when breaking the egg! This does remove the protective “bloom” from the egg, which is why we refrigerate shelled eggs in the US. But you can have eggs in the fridge for a few months!
Pasteurization is done at many different temperature and time combinations to find the perfect balance between killing the bacteria without affecting the food. So you can do really hot temperatures for a very short amount of time or lower temperatures for longer periods.
For backyard chickens or quail, wiping off any debris with a paper towel and leaving the eggs at room temperature is very common!
(Getting my PhD in Microbiology and do studies on poultry 😊)
Becky, the absolute sweetest children's book is call "Love you forever" By Robert Munsch. I can not read it without getting emotional. It's so sweet.
This is a great children's book
Yes! My parents read it to me all the time that I ended up using a quote from it on the gift I gave them when I got married
Italian fan here! Loving hearing Matt speaking italian 🥰
I knew I stanned Becky but then she says "ketchup chips are the best" and that's it, I could not appreciate her more than this
becky is cracking me up lol. i’m 31, have had cataract surgery, two retina detachments, two reattachment surgeries, and two surgeries to remove the oil that is put in your eye to reattach. it’s gnarly, but really cool how strong the eye actually is!!
also for all five of my surgeries, i made them put me all the way to sleep lol. that is an option.
I work for a small coffee shop and we make our own pumpkin spice syrup that has pumpkin in it!
becky with the very accurate and vivid noise descriptions this episode 🤣
Becky, I’m so happy to hear you want to try a cultural dish of mine 🥰 I think a great intro to Century Eggs is by trying it in Century Egg and Pork congee, aka 皮蛋瘦肉粥. People can substitute pork with chicken, shiitake or enoki mushrooms, etc based on individual diets. Eating the egg alone might be strong for someone trying it the first time. As a Hong Kong American, I almost never eat the egg alone (always in congee), but plenty of people who love century eggs eat it as an appetizer/snack too! Hope this helps 🫶🏼
ps. one of my other fave eggs is the salted duck egg! The yolk is commonly used for certain mooncakes and buns, very delish.
becky! something i do is that after i get home from the grocery store i wash and then pre cut and store my fruit in delis (like if you are prepping) and then it’s easier to 1. eat them 2. see them. also if you wash with baking soda + vinegar in my experience they last longer, don’t know why
Hearing you talk about children’s books then Vs. now has made my whole day! I’ve definitely seen some books that look like they’re for kids and they’re NOT, so watch out. For example, “Brenda’s Beaver Needs a Barber” is a wild ride. I read online somewhere that a teacher has this in their classroom library and they realized later it was NOT appropriate.
I’m a first grade teacher and I listen to you guys while I work at home in the evening. It keeps the burn out at bay ❤️ thanks again for everything you create and share for us listeners!!!
Interesting fact: being farsighted was considered relatively uncommon until mass literacy came about.
I feel like you have nearsighted and farsighted mixed up
I love Matt’s laugh so much
You guys made me all nostalgic for my mother's Dickens village. After I moved out of state it got too exhausting for her to put it all up by herself. 😢 I think my favorite children's book was Harold and the purple crayon. My boys also really loved the poems in where the sidewalk ends. 😊
This is episode 169 guyyyys
Cataract surgery is really easy. I had it done on one eye already at age 43. It is day surgery and I was scared but it wasn't painful at all. The recovery was fairly simple, drops in the eye and a plastic cover over the eye while sleeping so you don't accidentally rub it and that was only for a couple of days. Maybe things are different in the USA but I am in Canada and it was so much easier than I thought it would be. I've had zero problems since.
I’m a farmer. Eggs have to be refrigerated because they wash the eggs. Once you wash an egg the bloom (invisible protective coating) is gone and bacteria can get through the shell since shells are porous. Unwashed eggs are not porous because of the bloom and can stay unrefridgerated for weeks if not months. To pasteurize an egg it gets heated to 140 degrees F (60 degrees C)
Eggs have the coating on them that protects the egg's pores (used for the chick to get oxygen through). In the US this is washed off, which is why you MUST refrigerate them.
Eggs generally have lysozymes for 20 days that protect the egg against outside pathogens, which is why you can keep them outside of the fridge for that time. After that, you're supposed to keep them in the fridge, because salmonella grows spectacularly. It's still advised to keep your eggs in the fridge regardless to make them last longer, in countries where eggs aren't washed before storing. This is because it prevents pathogens from growing or at least slows them down. (according to my food safety professor)
Cooked eggs can only be kept for about 3 days in the fridge (in Europe eggs or products with eggs are probably the #2 source of food poisoning outbreaks (EFSA&ECDC))
My children's book is Pat the Bunny. My mommy (yes, they're still my mommy and daddy) read it to me. I give a copy to all the newborns in the family. Theirs often comes with an adorable stuffed animal.
My favorite children's book (and the one I always give out at baby showers) is Harold and the Purple Crayon. It is super cute and all about using your imagination! Highly recommend!
Omg this is my favorite 2!!! And I also give it out at baby showers. So many memories of my mom reading it to me as a child.
I work at an eye drs office and cataract surgery is so common. And they can start at any age. LASIK is so fast. You are under the laser for such a short time and then you can usually go back to work the next Monday if surgery is done on Friday. It’s pretty easy recovery. Cataract surgery on the other hand is a lil more complex but it’s got a really good recovery rate and a lot of people don’t have complaints after it’s said and done
I’m a brewed coffee drinker too !! In the fall, my go to starbs drink is a grande pike, 1 pump pumpkin, and some half n’ half !! 🧡🧡
So yeah Century eggs are difficult to make BUT if Becky's looking for an easier egg recipe look into Tea Eggs! They're essentially hardboiled eggs that are marinated in a tea broth and have a really cool streaky pattern when you peel them! Quail Eggs would be a bit challenging but might be a fun party appetizer! (Or charcuterie board item- with or without ketchup! jk lol)
My son’s favorite book was the gruffalo! His 6th birthday party was that theme. He could recite the entire book by heart.
Book with no pictures is awesome! My son is 7.5 and still loves to read this one
I teach pre-k and my favorite books are the day you begin and hair love!
I've shopped with the stroller like that. But, the typical carseat actually clicks right onto the cart (over the seat part) so that's convenient. I don't think it works on all of them, but most of them. I'm now questioning if you said anything about this because I'm tired, too lol
Matt: how dare people make things themselves, and in pumpkins no less
Also Matt: I went overboard and now I have too many eggs from all the quail I own
The duality of man
Becky, I used to do 1/2 pump of whatever flavor (ie pumpkin spice) if I wanted to flavor my coffee but minimize the sugar. Pro tip in case it helps. Hope you’re all having a good week!!
My mom has a Christmas village and a Halloween one and that Christmas one is genuinely our prized possessions her and I spend an entire day in early December putting it all up!
dont forget to register to vote!!
Yes, Becky you can just put spices in your cup of coffee, and you can add the spice directly into the grounds as well, but it depends on the spice and what effect you want what works best. Cardamom, cinnamon and nutmeg in coffee are really popular, for example.
I've had a small cataract in my left eye for 15 years. I was 32 when they first found it. They just monitor it ever year, during my regular yearly check up (I wear glasses and contacts). They treat it like ni big deal. Every time, I ask if its gotten big enough so I can finally get the cataract surgery. I'll be able to see 20/20 for the first time in my life. And they said they would do both eyes. I've worn glasses since I was 5yo. My current contact lens prescription is -10.0. Yeah...I have always had bad vision.
Just a comment regarding pumpkin wine. Botulism grows in an anaerobic (no oxygen) space and in low sugar. So unless she was keeping that pumpkin in a vacuum it’s HIGHLY unlikely. There are other bacterium that definitely could have been present, such as E. Coli or Salmonella.
I’ve never seen this tiktok either so I’m not sure if she was just letting it do it’s thing or was actively monitoring acid levels, or where it was being fermented.
I’m about half Italian. My great grandpa is from a little town called Luca and I didn’t know that until recently. I named my dog Luka prior to this info!
"They poofed in my eye" Lol i love it
it's kinda funny and nice at the same time, that you all over in the US and I in Germany remember the same childrens' books (like the rainbow fish, the caterpillar by Carle, where the wild things are, and of course the little prince and all that). best for me- while even more for children older than Henry is right now though - are Astrid Lindgren's books.
anyways, another great podcast for the night. thank you!
Becky did technically have an invention idea of the “boil sprayer” from Keith’s AMC ETM 🌭
After it was pointed out that Becky does the ‘Trisha’ «mmmh» sound after a sentence I CANNOT unhear it😭
OMG SAME, I can't ignore it 😂
Favorite children's book growing up that you didn't mention was DEF the poky little puppy, but my favorite of my nephew's books right now is either 'panda palace' or 'the pout pout fish'
Becky and Matt are twining 😂
Becky YES! Ketchup chips are **premium**
Italian fan here 🇮🇹 love hearing Matt speaking Italian
Spicy Ketchup is amazing, like a curry ketchup? Mustard is probably my #1, and then A1, and a good barbecue sauce, and then a spicy ketchup, and then probably a malt vinegar dressing.
The pumpkin sauce at Starbucks has 2% pumpkin. It used to be 5% but they've reduced it over the years.
Becky! Please go to a Chinese restaurant and order the century/preserved egg congee. It's so much easier to deal with and then you won't have five eggs left. Cheaper to try and it'll be in the right (and very delicious) context!
the delivery on "that's disgusting" & "that's gross" is taking me the absolute fuck out omg
1) they do wash eggs in america, and it destroys a bacterial coating which is why they need to be refrigerated here, but I would assume they were pasturizing because they aren't like being opened? 2) ny dad is from Frankenmuth which is known for having like a massive massive Halloween store so we have a Christmas village cos it's extra easy to find them second hand/on sale when you go to christmas town 9 times a year
I'm pretty sure Starbucks pumpkin syrup has pumpkin puree in it! But it also has dairy, so I tend to make at home, and it's so much better.
I wonder if the book Raine was mentioning about the bunnies is Guess How Much I Love You. That was one of my absolute favourites as a kid 🤩
I think the book Rainie was talking about is "The runaway bunny" it has the best illustrations
yassss as a canadian im here for becky loving ketchup chips
Best books for the whole family are Pippi Longstocking by Astrid Lindgren and all the Moomin books by Tove Jansson.
This was NOT the episode to listen to while grocery shopping 😂 snort laughing along with Becky isn't a great public look but damn it was fun
I love garlic mayo specifically from dominos
Becky went though hell bearing a child, but gets grossed out over cataract surgery. Talk to your parents or older relatives or people you know. It's an almost certainty that one of them has had cataracts. That surgery has become routine.
Also, visit an ophthalmologist annually, especially as you get older. Cataracts aren't the only eye problems you face as you get older. Glaucoma is a big deal and can blind you.
Look into the Mo Willems boos for when Henry gets to toddler age! They are wonderful
Boiled quail eggs with a little salt (put it in a small ziplock bag and shake it), it’ll absorb the flavor and be a nice snack.
Also - look into kwek kwek! Some quail egg recipes for ya 😂
I do nightmare before christmas decorations for Halloween and all the way to Christmas.. one year I kept it all year with all the holidays.. only lasted a year idk if I have a good space for it in my new house
Eggs in the grocery store are washed so they’re clean. Cleaning them washes off the bloom, which is what allows you to keep fresh eggs on the counter.
Love you from an Italian 🇮🇹💛💛
I think matt went to an ophthalmologist.
The drops are for dilating the pupil to look at the back of your eye aka your retina and lens.
The puff that becky refered to is to check the IOP(intrac occular pressure)
John Oliver JUST did something on this. So egg products (outside of the shells) are mandated by the USDA and are pasteurized. Eggs in shells are mandated by the FDA and are not pasteurized as a rule. They don't have the same rules. They're just washed to destroy salmonella on the outer shell. We don't vaccinate chickens for salmonella like everyone else, so we just treat the product.
I manage a café.... no person likes pumpkin syrup... it's disgisting... pumpkin spice, is basically chai spice... and that's delicious ❤
my mom's fave to read to me was always I'll Love you forever. One I always liked and I can't give the whole title cause it's so long is My mother always said their are no ghouls, goblins ghosts... It's by the same person who wrote Alexander and the terrible horrible no good very bad day i think (also a great book). Also the missing piece by shel silverstein
Someone please help me find this bag! I’m in love with the net bag next to Matt
I know about eggs! They just wash them. Eggs in shells are not pasteurized. The protective coating on the egg that gets washed off is called the bloom.
I took a class about how to teach lessons to kids through children's books. The main book we read was called, "Big Ideas for Little Kids" by Wartenberg. I highly suggest.
Becky!! There is a cart cover they make for babies my mom swore by them.
Ramblings below. I love you (yeah, you, person reading this right now. I am sending love to you)
>TEAM MUSTARD! Any healthy (bland) meal with mustard is a tangy delight.
> Edit to add - deviled and seasoned (aka ramen) eggs are the shit too. But hey we’re all different man❤
> !!!!! Edit again - *EYE CANCER EXISTS!* @ Becky and anyone else. Go to the optometrist. Even if you have 20/20 vision. Get your eyes dilated. Do it. ‼️
Becky!! 5 strawberry plants and you'll have an abundance!!! Just try it!!!!
I know in Australia the egg shells need to be clean before they can be sold.
As someone who stopped going to the optometrist after lasik, this terrified me 🥲
W.A.R. quail eggs 😂
YAS to Becky Book Hour!
boiled eggs put into a jar with soy sauce and then fermented is amazing
Beckys hair 😍😍😍
Whole raw American eggs are washed to make them look cleaner/more presentable. This washing process is not actually intended to make eggs safer to eat. But, because of this washing process, commercially-packaged American whole eggs must be refrigerated to prevent salmonella penetration of the raw egg.
Most non-American eggs are not washed. Therefore, non-American eggs should not be refrigerated, as the unwashed coating on the outside of the shell can trap moisture in the shell and cause mould in the egg. (This unwashed coating helps prevent salmonella penetration.)
Commercially-packaged non-whole American egg products, like liquid egg products, do have to be pasteurised.
In the UK our chickens are vaccinated against whatever it is that’s dangerous whereas the US cleans the eggs in some way. Eggs aren’t stored in fridges in shops here, they’re on the shelf
Am I the only one distracted by the bag next to Matt? It looks like a mermaid bag
becky invented getting lit
eggs from the store are refrigerated because they are washed which removes the protective layer on the egg that keeps the bacteria out. if you wash your eggs you risk them developing harmful bacteria sitting on the counter
