    • @jordansaintemarie
      @jordansaintemarie Před rokem +1

      @@lsubesteva you seem to have some expectations of me that I haven’t consented to. In the future, if you’d like me to or anyone to share their thoughts on any subject with you, please ask before making any further comments or assumptions. When I comment on CZcams, I don’t list every single thought or sentiment that I experienced during the watching of the video. That would be an unrealistic expectation to have of myself or others. If you believe that I should be taking every single possible opportunity to speak against all that there is to speak against, I suggest you turn that thought back around on yourself and ask yourself if you adhere to that standard in your CZcams behaviour? It’s quite a low vibrational thing to bring suspicion and accusation to someone who is attempting to leave a positive comment about the channel in general. Personally, I wasn’t even aware of their experience with this country as I don’t watch these videos in depth. I’m also not a nationalist in any way shape or form. Anyway, I’ll consider forgiving you for your inappropriate behaviour as long as you don’t do it again. Don’t do it again.

  • @stephenworthington-white8294

    B.C. chef here, a common technique for keeping maximum freshness with live spot prawns is to cook them asap after they are out of the tank. Boiling stock or water or liquid of choice poured over a single layer of prawns in a hotel pan. You want them to cook quickly then cool but traditional blanching or poaching its easy to overcook them. They store on ice for much longer than raw this way and avoid turning black. Those bodies are tasty!Happy Travels guys and thanks for the great videos.

    I had convinced an older couple to get out of their large motor home and into a custom van. A little over 2 years later they say they couldn't be happier. They say at times they miss the space but overall they really didn't need it. They are on their 2nd one now and the resale was so much better on the van compared to the loss one takes on a motorhome. The best part is when they want to see things they can drive around much easier, otherwise they need to tow a car or arrange a ride. Biggest downfall is when there is an argument but this forces them to take time on a walk or work it out.

    Hi Taku and Jocelyn! As far as I know "sushi" only means sour rice. Correct me if I am wrong. So "be creative" is a nice massage for people who think sushi means raw fish. Basically you can do everything. Thanks for your content. I love your channel and your ideas of food creation. Thumbs up and keep it up. Cheers from Bavaria. 👍
