00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:00.480
Okay do.

2
00:00:19.160 --> 00:00:19.960
Hi everyone.

3
00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:22.160
I am Jeff and welcome to history. In fact, it's

4
00:00:22.160 --> 00:00:25.199
about today. Today is September the eighth. Today is all

5
00:00:25.239 --> 00:00:28.679
about food, from buying it to storing it, to cooking it.

6
00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:31.280
I had to bring in a real special guest, an expert. Today.

7
00:00:31.320 --> 00:00:33.280
She is going to help with us. Now. She grew

8
00:00:33.359 --> 00:00:35.399
up in the grocery store business. She has written a

9
00:00:35.560 --> 00:00:38.520
really award winning cookbook and a book about a grocery

10
00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:41.000
store secrets that everybody should know. Carolyn, why don't you

11
00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:42.200
go ahead introduce yourself today.

12
00:00:42.840 --> 00:00:47.880
Well, I am a former grocery store owner and deli operator.

13
00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:53.479
My family had Steels Markets for sixty one years in

14
00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:58.880
Fort Collins, Colorado. We closed in two thousand and one.

15
00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:05.959
We had a rather chaotic, ugly ending. I thought our

16
00:01:06.079 --> 00:01:10.760
ending would make a great memoir, a great story, so

17
00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:15.719
I started writing it. I drove my husband crazy. He said,

18
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:18.359
you have all these wonderful recipes, why don't you do

19
00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:22.879
a cookbook. My favorite thing to do at the stores,

20
00:01:22.959 --> 00:01:26.879
My favorite responsibility was to create recipes for our ad.

21
00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:29.400
So if we had pork chops in the ad, I

22
00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:32.959
would do a pork chop recipe to give our customers

23
00:01:33.319 --> 00:01:36.879
creative ways to use what we had on sale. So

24
00:01:37.079 --> 00:01:40.519
I wrote a cookbook as a tribute to my family.

25
00:01:40.719 --> 00:01:44.040
It has a history of the store. It has some

26
00:01:44.120 --> 00:01:48.719
old ads to set myself apart. I included how to

27
00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:53.239
select and store perishables. I'm really proud of that cookbook.

28
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:55.840
It was picked in the top ten favorite by the

29
00:01:55.879 --> 00:02:00.640
Denver Post Food staff. It's won three National war Words.

30
00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:05.400
I believe I am the only award winning cookbook author

31
00:02:05.480 --> 00:02:11.000
that used to own grocery stores. I didn't much care

32
00:02:11.159 --> 00:02:15.879
for social media. I started doing social media during COVID.

33
00:02:16.439 --> 00:02:19.560
I had a young man helping me named Bobby Crue.

34
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:23.960
I really did it to get myself positioned online for

35
00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:27.520
my memoir to come out, and Bobby asked me to

36
00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:31.039
do a blog on saving money at the grocery store.

37
00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:35.800
That's when food inflation got so bad. I think twenty

38
00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:39.240
twenty one it was up eight point six percent, and

39
00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:42.840
in twenty twenty two it was up. Food inflation peaked

40
00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:49.319
at thirteen percent. So Bobby Crue writes whoror and like snakes,

41
00:02:49.400 --> 00:02:52.960
we have nothing in common. But he suggested I do

42
00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:57.639
a blog on that. So I pulled my grocery shopping

43
00:02:57.800 --> 00:03:01.520
information out of my cookbook and spent a year and

44
00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:06.240
a half expanding it to create grocery shopping secrets to

45
00:03:06.360 --> 00:03:10.520
give people some tips on how to save money on

46
00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:11.439
their groceries.

47
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:14.800
And that I mean it's gone down a little in

48
00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:16.919
but everybody can always save money on grocery. That always

49
00:03:16.919 --> 00:03:19.400
helps out a lot on the old family budget. Yes,

50
00:03:19.919 --> 00:03:22.080
so when you're cook but I mean it's varied.

51
00:03:22.120 --> 00:03:22.319
Andy.

52
00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:25.120
You guys love just peris and through it you'll love it.

53
00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:27.159
Do you have any specific type of food do you

54
00:03:27.319 --> 00:03:29.879
like like? Do you like work jobs? Do you like

55
00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:33.400
Italian food, Oriental food, Mexican food? Do you have any

56
00:03:33.439 --> 00:03:36.479
favorite My favorite.

57
00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:45.199
Foods are Italian, Mexican and French. My family's favorite recipe

58
00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:49.800
in my cookbook is chicken enchiladas with atomatilla sauce.

59
00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:51.159
That sounds good.

60
00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:56.199
My uncle Eddie was a butcher at the First Steals.

61
00:03:56.319 --> 00:04:00.439
He eventually had his own store in Denver. I don't

62
00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:04.759
know how many people know Tony's in Denver. It's a

63
00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:08.520
specialty food store. But Tony worked for my uncle Eddie.

64
00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:13.199
I have Uncle Eddie's primary recipe in my cookbook.

65
00:04:13.759 --> 00:04:15.639
You have a lot of good recipes in there.

66
00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:20.120
Too, Yeah, which food comes out, the prim rim comes

67
00:04:20.120 --> 00:04:24.040
out tender, juicy, and medium rare every time.

68
00:04:24.399 --> 00:04:27.240
Well that's that kind of makes your mouth water here.

69
00:04:27.319 --> 00:04:30.560
And it's not even primary time. It's a primary. But

70
00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:33.040
I think most people think of the round like Christmas,

71
00:04:33.079 --> 00:04:36.680
holidays or something like that. But it pays good year round,

72
00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:37.040
isn't it.

73
00:04:37.839 --> 00:04:41.279
Prime rab is good year round, but usually especially anymore,

74
00:04:41.319 --> 00:04:45.680
it's getting so expensive we usually only have it for holidays, right.

75
00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:50.800
I did hear Stu Leonard on the Business Channel. He

76
00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:56.639
owns grocery stores in Connecticut, New York, and New Jersey,

77
00:04:56.920 --> 00:05:00.720
and he said that one reason beef is so expensive

78
00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:04.240
is that beef herds are at the lowest levels they've

79
00:05:04.279 --> 00:05:05.759
been in fifty years.

80
00:05:06.079 --> 00:05:08.399
Oh well, I guess that kind of makes sense. That's

81
00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:10.240
kind of what we went through with eggs here last year.

82
00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:15.519
Yeah, eggs got pretty expensive. I do have in my

83
00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:21.480
Grocery Shopping Secrets book how to freeze everything, even eggs.

84
00:05:22.079 --> 00:05:23.000
You can freeze eggs.

85
00:05:23.399 --> 00:05:25.920
Yeah, you can freeze eggs. So for example, if you're

86
00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:28.920
making a recipe where you only use the yolks or

87
00:05:28.959 --> 00:05:33.680
you only use the whites, you can freeze what is left.

88
00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:37.279
And my book has tips on that freezing milk. When

89
00:05:37.279 --> 00:05:41.199
you saw milk, it's going to have a different consistency.

90
00:05:41.319 --> 00:05:43.600
So you can't put it in your coffee or drink it,

91
00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:45.959
but you can put it in smoothies or use it

92
00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:49.439
for baking or cooking. Oh so I've got a lot

93
00:05:49.480 --> 00:05:53.000
of tips like that which can really help you cut

94
00:05:53.040 --> 00:05:54.079
down on your waist.

95
00:05:54.439 --> 00:05:56.959
Well, I'm glad you're here today. Now we know neither

96
00:05:57.000 --> 00:05:59.079
of us are nerds, right, I don't think so.

97
00:06:01.160 --> 00:06:04.720
I maybe was in school. I don't think I am anymore.

98
00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:08.360
Well, well, revert back to school. We're going to celebrate

99
00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:10.319
today on this These.

100
00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:14.360
Are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise. It's five year

101
00:06:14.439 --> 00:06:19.519
mission to explore strange new worlds. The seacounts new life

102
00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:23.920
and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has

103
00:06:23.959 --> 00:06:24.600
gone before.

104
00:06:27.519 --> 00:06:37.040
Today is National Star Trek Day. I know that's not nice.

105
00:06:37.079 --> 00:06:38.800
There are a lot of people who really get into

106
00:06:38.839 --> 00:06:41.360
Star Trek. First episode of Star Trek air today in

107
00:06:41.439 --> 00:06:44.279
nineteen sixty six. Now it was produced by Lici O.

108
00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:47.360
Ball Yeah, her Desilute production company, but no one watched

109
00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:49.360
it and it was only on the air for three years.

110
00:06:49.519 --> 00:06:51.920
For some reason. After the show was over, Yeah, people

111
00:06:51.959 --> 00:06:54.439
started watching the reruns. So many people started watching those

112
00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:56.839
reruns that they actually held the first Star Trek convention

113
00:06:56.920 --> 00:06:59.639
in nineteen seventy two. Now Star Trek, of course, is

114
00:06:59.639 --> 00:07:03.439
a multi billion dollar franchise, TV shows, movies, lots and

115
00:07:03.439 --> 00:07:07.360
lots of merchandise. So my tricky friends, whether you dress

116
00:07:07.480 --> 00:07:09.600
up or just binge, watched Star Trek, just enjoy the

117
00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:11.839
nice Star Trek day. You ever watched Star Trek?

118
00:07:12.279 --> 00:07:12.399
Uh?

119
00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:13.399
You know?

120
00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:16.720
I was trying to remember back if I watched it

121
00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:19.480
in the sixties, and I did not, Well, then I

122
00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:23.000
think there are like nine are there like nine series

123
00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:25.079
TV series now or something?

124
00:07:25.439 --> 00:07:29.000
Probably nine movies. Yeah, there's at least three TV series

125
00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:32.399
and probably about nine movies. I think so. But like

126
00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:34.360
you weren't alone. Nobody watched it in the sixties.

127
00:07:35.240 --> 00:07:38.879
I can't believe Lucille Ball produced it.

128
00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:41.879
That's amazing, I know, since she had the only one

129
00:07:41.920 --> 00:07:43.600
who had the foresight to say, you know what, this

130
00:07:43.639 --> 00:07:47.000
could actually work. Of course, DESI probably wouldn't have done it,

131
00:07:47.079 --> 00:07:50.839
but Lucy did. All right, let's se what happened in

132
00:07:50.839 --> 00:07:52.959
the entertainment to day on September the eighth. It's about

133
00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:56.560
your nineteen ninety five. The Dangerous Minds movie soundtrack was

134
00:07:56.560 --> 00:07:58.720
the number one album. Michael Jackson had the number one

135
00:07:58.720 --> 00:08:00.079
song with You Are Not Alone.

136
00:08:00.600 --> 00:08:21.120
You The Fay Call You.

137
00:08:24.279 --> 00:08:26.519
Brian Wyatt had the number one country song with someone

138
00:08:26.519 --> 00:08:29.720
Else's Star, She's like someone.

139
00:08:29.439 --> 00:08:34.919
Else caps getting one? I wish you? Why can't he

140
00:08:35.159 --> 00:08:42.759
be Loney? Has those other people loved? Sound must be

141
00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:47.919
on someone else's stuff.

142
00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:53.159
The number one book was from Pottersfield by Patricia Cornwall.

143
00:08:53.480 --> 00:08:56.320
Top movie was Too Long Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie

144
00:08:56.360 --> 00:08:59.639
Newmar Now three drag queens. They're driving across the country

145
00:08:59.679 --> 00:09:01.960
when they're our breaks down, they're stuck in a small town.

146
00:09:02.279 --> 00:09:06.039
Stars Patrick Swayze, Leslie Snipes and John Leguizanam. Now this

147
00:09:06.120 --> 00:09:08.960
has nothing to do with Chinese food. Is about drag wings.

148
00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:12.399
But what's your favorite Chinese food recipe?

149
00:09:14.759 --> 00:09:15.759
Cow chicken?

150
00:09:16.279 --> 00:09:18.480
Okay, of a lot of heat to it.

151
00:09:19.639 --> 00:09:22.399
You can make it either hot or not so hot.

152
00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:23.320
I like it hot.

153
00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:26.759
So your tips on the grocery store? What is one

154
00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:29.679
tip you think every no grocery store owner wants, but

155
00:09:29.759 --> 00:09:30.679
everybody should know.

156
00:09:32.159 --> 00:09:35.960
Well. I think one thing is when you go to

157
00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:40.919
the meat counter and you find the marinated or rubbed

158
00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:47.480
meats that are convenience. Usually those are foods that are

159
00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:53.000
just getting ready to pass their expiration date. We marinate

160
00:09:53.039 --> 00:09:55.759
them or put a rub on them and raise the price.

161
00:09:56.399 --> 00:10:00.240
We call that value added. So I'm not saying are

162
00:10:00.279 --> 00:10:03.519
not good, but if you buy those, you should eat

163
00:10:03.559 --> 00:10:04.399
them that day.

164
00:10:05.399 --> 00:10:07.279
So if I wanted, if I'm just out of the blue,

165
00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:08.879
I'm just going to the grocery store, going to pick

166
00:10:08.919 --> 00:10:11.039
up what's the biggest tip I can get for getting

167
00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:12.840
the best piece of meat.

168
00:10:14.679 --> 00:10:19.159
It should have marbling, the more marbling it has, the

169
00:10:19.200 --> 00:10:22.080
more tender and juicy it's going to be marbling. Or

170
00:10:22.120 --> 00:10:24.919
the little white flex of fat that are in the

171
00:10:25.000 --> 00:10:28.639
meat that are in beef pork will also have it.

172
00:10:28.960 --> 00:10:32.240
Does color indicate any kind of Does the color of

173
00:10:32.240 --> 00:10:35.000
the meat give any indication and what kind of whether

174
00:10:35.039 --> 00:10:37.039
it's how good it is or fresh or anything.

175
00:10:38.120 --> 00:10:42.080
Yes, when meat starts to pass its prime or it

176
00:10:42.159 --> 00:10:47.840
starts to deteriorate, it'll get brown, brown blotches. A lot

177
00:10:47.879 --> 00:10:52.639
of times. You'll see that meat on sale a lot

178
00:10:52.679 --> 00:10:55.759
of times. Your supermarket, if it has meat on sale,

179
00:10:55.840 --> 00:11:00.240
it will be a lower grade like Select. So if

180
00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:02.639
you're buying meat on sale, you should be sure and

181
00:11:02.720 --> 00:11:07.039
check the grade. Beef is graded prime, Choice, select, and

182
00:11:07.080 --> 00:11:10.519
no role. So the select and no role are going

183
00:11:10.559 --> 00:11:13.320
to be cheaper and they're going to be tougher with

184
00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:17.240
less flavor. So if you're buying meat on sale, make

185
00:11:17.279 --> 00:11:21.639
sure you're getting at least a select or at least

186
00:11:21.679 --> 00:11:24.879
a choice or a prime and not a select.

187
00:11:25.360 --> 00:11:28.279
Well prime, you talked about prim only like two percent

188
00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:29.559
of all meats prime, right.

189
00:11:29.759 --> 00:11:34.840
Yeah, and prime rib is not necessarily prime. It can

190
00:11:34.960 --> 00:11:39.320
be choice. And actually sometimes I prefer my tender lines

191
00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:43.120
and prime rib is choice rather than prime because they

192
00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:44.000
can get mushy.

193
00:11:44.360 --> 00:11:45.639
And if you go to the store and ask for

194
00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:48.600
prime rib, they're just going to give you a ribi roast.

195
00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:49.279
Is that right?

196
00:11:49.679 --> 00:11:49.919
Yes?

197
00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:52.399
Yes, let's say you don't have to spend that extra

198
00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:54.440
money for that little two percent of prime that they're great?

199
00:11:55.279 --> 00:11:59.399
No ah, right, well that's really helpful. And then as

200
00:11:59.480 --> 00:12:01.399
pork pretty a standard with that or is pork have

201
00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:04.120
different I don't know what you call it, like germ

202
00:12:04.120 --> 00:12:05.320
concerns or something like that.

203
00:12:06.600 --> 00:12:09.519
I think the thing that I look for mostly in

204
00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:15.039
pork is it's often injected with a saline solution. If

205
00:12:15.080 --> 00:12:18.519
it says if the label you can you can tell

206
00:12:18.559 --> 00:12:21.759
on the label if it is injected, because it will

207
00:12:21.759 --> 00:12:25.320
contain things other than pork. So when you're buying pork,

208
00:12:25.360 --> 00:12:28.039
you want to be sure you're just getting pork. It

209
00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:34.159
costs enough without paying for salt water chicken. I don't

210
00:12:34.200 --> 00:12:38.039
think so, not that I'm aware of. With chicken, I

211
00:12:38.519 --> 00:12:43.240
like to buy redbird chicken chicken. You know, some people

212
00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:46.559
are really picky it has to be free range fed

213
00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:51.600
a certain way. I'm not that picky about it. My

214
00:12:51.720 --> 00:12:55.279
son will only buy free range chickens. So those are

215
00:12:55.320 --> 00:12:58.039
things to look for. The thing that's important to me

216
00:12:58.360 --> 00:13:01.519
is if I'm going to seer or grill my chicken,

217
00:13:02.080 --> 00:13:06.960
I want to buy chicken that's chilled with a cold

218
00:13:07.440 --> 00:13:12.440
cold air process and not a water process. Chicken, when

219
00:13:12.480 --> 00:13:17.759
it's processed after it's slaughtered, it's either run through cold

220
00:13:17.840 --> 00:13:20.840
air to bring it to temperature, or it's run through

221
00:13:20.879 --> 00:13:24.080
cold water. And so if it's run through cold water,

222
00:13:24.200 --> 00:13:27.600
often it will absorb some of that water. So if

223
00:13:27.639 --> 00:13:31.200
you want to grill or sere your chicken, you're better

224
00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:33.399
to get air chilled chicken.

225
00:13:33.799 --> 00:13:37.759
Do is that even on the label you have no idea?

226
00:13:37.879 --> 00:13:40.440
Yes, it'll be on the label. It's required to be

227
00:13:40.519 --> 00:13:42.960
on the label, okay if it's chilled.

228
00:13:43.279 --> 00:13:45.759
And I think labels, let's be honest, most people don't

229
00:13:45.799 --> 00:13:47.960
really pay that much attention to the labels. They might

230
00:13:48.159 --> 00:13:50.600
just look a little bit and then they kind of like, Okay,

231
00:13:50.600 --> 00:13:52.320
that looks good. I don't think a lot of people

232
00:13:52.360 --> 00:13:54.360
really give a lot of credit. And the labels are

233
00:13:54.399 --> 00:13:55.440
actually pretty informative.

234
00:13:55.919 --> 00:13:59.039
The labels are very informative. I have a chapter in

235
00:13:59.080 --> 00:14:02.320
my book that in my Grocery Shopping Secrets book that

236
00:14:02.480 --> 00:14:08.000
discusses understanding food labels. Yes it can, get it can.

237
00:14:08.159 --> 00:14:11.240
A lot of people don't pay attention, although the people

238
00:14:11.279 --> 00:14:15.919
that pay attention are quite concerned.

239
00:14:15.799 --> 00:14:20.480
Brain they're the educated buyer and actually the champions when

240
00:14:20.799 --> 00:14:23.080
they want to make sure that they're not getting cheated.

241
00:14:23.440 --> 00:14:26.679
Yeah right, we'll see. That's a good say. We're pushing

242
00:14:26.679 --> 00:14:28.080
your book pretty good. A lot of people are going

243
00:14:28.080 --> 00:14:31.879
to tune in just to get that label part. All right,

244
00:14:32.039 --> 00:14:34.200
let's see what happened in the world On September eight,

245
00:14:34.320 --> 00:14:38.000
over the years fifteen oh four, in Florence, Michaelangelo his

246
00:14:38.120 --> 00:14:41.639
sculpture of David. It was unveiled. Now it stands fourteen

247
00:14:41.679 --> 00:14:43.799
feet high, weighs six tons. It was made from one

248
00:14:43.879 --> 00:14:46.679
block of granted. Now other artists and sculptures that already

249
00:14:46.679 --> 00:14:48.879
rejected that one block, well he took it. They said

250
00:14:48.879 --> 00:14:52.200
it was fine. He said, no, it's good now, David.

251
00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:55.960
It's basically when he slaved Goliath. Seeing Michaelangelo, he was

252
00:14:56.000 --> 00:14:58.639
paid to make that sculpture for the Florence Cathedral. But

253
00:14:58.879 --> 00:15:01.480
now that was un It was actually more magnificent than

254
00:15:01.519 --> 00:15:02.799
they even thought he was going to do. It was

255
00:15:02.840 --> 00:15:04.799
so good. But they only had one problem. There was

256
00:15:04.840 --> 00:15:06.600
no way they could move that six to ten statue

257
00:15:06.600 --> 00:15:08.679
all the way across town over to the cathedral. So

258
00:15:08.720 --> 00:15:10.720
what they did is they slid it across the straits,

259
00:15:10.759 --> 00:15:12.840
set it up in the town square, the Piazza de Signal,

260
00:15:12.879 --> 00:15:15.679
and they called it good. So michael Angelo, when he

261
00:15:15.679 --> 00:15:18.679
scoped to David, he depicted David right before he fought Goliath.

262
00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:21.000
He wanted people to feel David's pent up sense of

263
00:15:21.279 --> 00:15:24.600
energy before the fight. You like that kind of art.

264
00:15:25.399 --> 00:15:29.720
Yeah, Actually, we were in the Vatican and saw the

265
00:15:29.759 --> 00:15:32.519
ceiling that he painted. He's pretty amazing.

266
00:15:32.879 --> 00:15:35.519
Yeah, he was an amazing dude. Fifteen sixty five, the

267
00:15:35.519 --> 00:15:38.360
first permanent settlement in the United States. Well when in

268
00:15:38.399 --> 00:15:40.600
the United States yet, But North America took place. Yeah,

269
00:15:40.600 --> 00:15:42.559
the Spanish they found in Saint Augustine, Florida.

270
00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:43.519
All right.

271
00:15:43.600 --> 00:15:43.799
Now.

272
00:15:43.799 --> 00:15:46.519
In the Bible Book of Leviticus, it says that a

273
00:15:46.559 --> 00:15:49.360
man shall lie with the beast, he shall be put

274
00:15:49.399 --> 00:15:51.879
to death, and the bees shall be slaid. All the

275
00:15:51.919 --> 00:15:54.559
pilgrims of the Plymouth Colony and they took that very seriously.

276
00:15:54.879 --> 00:15:58.000
Sixteen forty to the first confirmed active beast reality in

277
00:15:58.080 --> 00:16:01.519
North America happened a pilgrim teenage and named Thomas Granger.

278
00:16:01.879 --> 00:16:04.639
He admitted to having sexual relations with a horse, a cow,

279
00:16:04.720 --> 00:16:07.000
two goats, a number of sheep, two calves in a turkey.

280
00:16:07.399 --> 00:16:10.559
So they made Thomas watts as they killed all the

281
00:16:10.600 --> 00:16:13.559
animals that he had as relations with. Then they burned

282
00:16:13.600 --> 00:16:15.840
their bodies. Yeah, then they hung them. How would you

283
00:16:15.919 --> 00:16:17.639
like to go down in history for that? And they

284
00:16:17.639 --> 00:16:19.840
even got your name and everything. That'd be horrible.

285
00:16:20.480 --> 00:16:22.200
That's quite a story.

286
00:16:24.360 --> 00:16:26.799
Oh, do you remember seeing the Pledge of Allegiance when

287
00:16:26.799 --> 00:16:27.399
you were growing up?

288
00:16:27.919 --> 00:16:31.279
Yes, we said it every day in school before school

289
00:16:31.360 --> 00:16:36.120
started the United States. In eighteen ninety two, the United

290
00:16:36.200 --> 00:16:40.759
States Pledge of Allegiance was published and the Youth Companion.

291
00:16:40.919 --> 00:16:44.200
It was written by Frank Bellamy, who was a very

292
00:16:44.240 --> 00:16:49.080
religious man, but he did not include the phrase under

293
00:16:49.120 --> 00:16:53.240
God in the pledge that was added by Congress in

294
00:16:53.320 --> 00:17:00.360
nineteen fifty four. The Great Galveston Hurricane hit in nineteen hundred.

295
00:17:00.840 --> 00:17:05.640
It is the deadliest hurricane in US history. Galveston, Texas

296
00:17:05.720 --> 00:17:10.359
was pretty much destroyed, killing between eight thousand and twelve

297
00:17:10.359 --> 00:17:13.759
thousand people. When they rebuilt the city, they added a

298
00:17:13.799 --> 00:17:16.960
seawall and raised most of the city up by about

299
00:17:17.000 --> 00:17:20.839
sixteen feet. The second deadliest hurricane to hit the US

300
00:17:21.039 --> 00:17:26.519
was in eighteen twenty eight the Okee the Okee Choby

301
00:17:26.680 --> 00:17:31.440
hurricane hit Florida, killing twenty five hundred people. In nineteen

302
00:17:31.559 --> 00:17:37.839
twenty three, the US Navy lost ships during peacetime. This

303
00:17:38.039 --> 00:17:41.960
was called the Honda Point disaster. Honda Point is off

304
00:17:42.359 --> 00:17:47.119
the coast of California near San Bernardino. Fourteen US Navy

305
00:17:47.160 --> 00:17:52.559
destroyers were performing war exercises. They were sailing from San

306
00:17:52.599 --> 00:17:56.960
Francisco to San Diego at nine pm in heavy fog,

307
00:17:57.640 --> 00:18:02.559
traveling twenty knots or thirty six miles per hour. The

308
00:18:02.680 --> 00:18:05.839
ships were supposed to make a U turn into Sand's

309
00:18:05.839 --> 00:18:10.759
Bernardino Channel. Because of heavy fog, they missed it. Seven

310
00:18:10.799 --> 00:18:15.440
of the destroyers crashed into the rocks and sank. Two

311
00:18:15.519 --> 00:18:19.960
others hit the rocky shoreline but didn't sink. In total,

312
00:18:20.039 --> 00:18:23.839
twenty three sailors died. It could have been much worse.

313
00:18:24.480 --> 00:18:28.640
And in nineteen thirty on this day. This is my favorite.

314
00:18:29.200 --> 00:18:32.200
Richard Drew invented scotch tape.

315
00:18:32.400 --> 00:18:34.519
Then that was a good guy when he made a

316
00:18:34.559 --> 00:18:35.680
lot of our lives easier.

317
00:18:36.119 --> 00:18:39.640
Yes, and the sea. How scotch tape has evolved, gorilla tape,

318
00:18:39.720 --> 00:18:40.559
duct tape.

319
00:18:40.880 --> 00:18:43.519
Oh man, there's just lots of Now it's like three

320
00:18:43.599 --> 00:18:46.480
good stuff. Now when on your cookbook, let's go back

321
00:18:46.480 --> 00:18:48.359
to talking about that one. Thinking about it, you do

322
00:18:48.480 --> 00:18:50.319
a lot of fresh items in there. I mean you

323
00:18:50.519 --> 00:18:52.359
use a lot of like fresh vegetables and stuff like that.

324
00:18:52.400 --> 00:18:54.160
We talked about meat. How can you pick out the

325
00:18:54.200 --> 00:18:56.960
best like fruits and vegetables that are fresh.

326
00:18:57.359 --> 00:19:02.400
My Grocery Shopping Secrets book and my cookbook have tips

327
00:19:02.440 --> 00:19:09.200
on picking out fresh food. Every food is different. Let's

328
00:19:09.319 --> 00:19:13.039
just take califup flower for example. I was shopping at Kings,

329
00:19:13.079 --> 00:19:17.039
which is a Kroger, and I wanted cauliflower, and the

330
00:19:17.079 --> 00:19:21.440
cauliflower had brown spots on it. That means it's starting

331
00:19:21.519 --> 00:19:25.640
to decay. I asked the produce clerk, don't you have

332
00:19:25.759 --> 00:19:29.400
any cauliflower that doesn't have brown spots? And she told

333
00:19:29.400 --> 00:19:33.119
me these just came in. It's all we have. So

334
00:19:33.279 --> 00:19:35.640
sometimes you don't have a lot of choice with what

335
00:19:35.720 --> 00:19:39.519
you're buying. My dad used to tell me, garbage in,

336
00:19:39.680 --> 00:19:43.880
garbage out. Every day your supermarket will sell some food

337
00:19:43.920 --> 00:19:50.279
that can be classified as garbage. So with that particular cauliflower,

338
00:19:50.319 --> 00:19:51.920
I had to go ahead and buy it if I

339
00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:56.160
wanted cauliflower, and I just cut the brown parts out.

340
00:19:56.400 --> 00:19:58.519
So is there an industry standard on what they have

341
00:19:58.599 --> 00:20:01.759
to do for dates said, like when the meat and

342
00:20:01.880 --> 00:20:03.960
started turning brown and they mark it down, is there

343
00:20:03.960 --> 00:20:06.240
a standard where they have to like start marking it down.

344
00:20:07.000 --> 00:20:11.039
I have never seen although they put the meat on sale,

345
00:20:11.160 --> 00:20:16.319
I have never seen produce sold on sale. That's going bad.

346
00:20:16.920 --> 00:20:19.960
That's that's going bad, that's just step to the store.

347
00:20:20.400 --> 00:20:23.319
Yeah, I have never seen a store do that. I

348
00:20:23.359 --> 00:20:26.440
don't think I have ever seen it. I do I

349
00:20:26.519 --> 00:20:31.519
will see them put meat on sale, dairy on sale

350
00:20:32.400 --> 00:20:35.200
fish on sale, but I don't think they do with produce.

351
00:20:35.599 --> 00:20:38.640
Okay, And then is this was this guy full of it?

352
00:20:38.759 --> 00:20:40.279
Or is he telling me the truth one time? I

353
00:20:40.359 --> 00:20:42.039
was not until longer and I go at the beginning

354
00:20:42.039 --> 00:20:44.599
of summer, the first load of watermelons came in and

355
00:20:44.680 --> 00:20:47.759
this guy was sitting there kind of like antificating to

356
00:20:47.799 --> 00:20:51.079
everybody there like he knew watermelons. He said that you

357
00:20:51.119 --> 00:20:53.200
wanted to be the most yellow on the belly because

358
00:20:53.200 --> 00:20:56.039
when a watermelon is cut, it stops ripening, and so

359
00:20:56.119 --> 00:20:57.880
it won't get any more right than what it already

360
00:20:57.880 --> 00:20:58.480
is when it's cut.

361
00:20:59.440 --> 00:21:02.160
I think you do you want? Yes? I think he's right,

362
00:21:02.759 --> 00:21:06.440
and you want a watermelon it has a flat belly.

363
00:21:06.680 --> 00:21:09.039
My dad taught me to thump it with my finger,

364
00:21:09.599 --> 00:21:12.039
my third finger, so you just give it a thump.

365
00:21:12.079 --> 00:21:15.240
And if it sounds hollow, it's ripe. And also if

366
00:21:15.240 --> 00:21:18.079
you press on the stem end, you want that to

367
00:21:18.160 --> 00:21:19.240
be soft.

368
00:21:19.480 --> 00:21:22.799
So big thump and soft stem in. That's the whiz. Yes,

369
00:21:23.279 --> 00:21:25.039
that worked for all melons or just watermelons.

370
00:21:26.119 --> 00:21:29.160
Melons you want to feel heavy for their size, so

371
00:21:29.279 --> 00:21:32.279
like candelope, you want it to feel heavy for your size.

372
00:21:32.720 --> 00:21:36.079
If you smell the stem end and it smells like

373
00:21:36.160 --> 00:21:39.359
a canalope. It's ripe, and you also want around the

374
00:21:39.440 --> 00:21:41.240
stem end for it to be soft.

375
00:21:41.519 --> 00:21:44.079
Cool deal, let's talk a little bit about World War Two.

376
00:21:44.240 --> 00:21:48.000
Nineteen forty one, Germany, they started the caason liningrad at seas,

377
00:21:48.039 --> 00:21:50.759
lasted nine hundred days. Over eight hundred thousand civilians died

378
00:21:50.799 --> 00:21:53.519
before it was over. Now, in nineteen forty three, Italy

379
00:21:53.599 --> 00:21:56.039
they suridered done. Conditionally, they were done fighting. They weren't

380
00:21:56.079 --> 00:21:58.720
going to do it anymore. They told the United States

381
00:21:58.759 --> 00:22:01.960
Britain brand, whatever we're done. There's only one problem though,

382
00:22:02.200 --> 00:22:04.720
there were so many German soldiers in Italy at that time. Well,

383
00:22:04.759 --> 00:22:08.039
they didn't surrender, so fighting just kept on going. Nineteen

384
00:22:08.079 --> 00:22:10.920
seventy four are US President Jerald Ford. He pardoned Richard

385
00:22:11.000 --> 00:22:13.519
Nixon of any crime that he might have committed there,

386
00:22:13.640 --> 00:22:15.799
but he didn't pardon the other one hundred thousand people

387
00:22:15.839 --> 00:22:18.960
that were helping him out. In twenty sixteen, it was

388
00:22:19.000 --> 00:22:21.279
revealed that there are actually four species of drafts, not

389
00:22:21.400 --> 00:22:25.039
just one. We talked about. Your family owned the steels

390
00:22:25.079 --> 00:22:27.200
market up there. Anybody who's been in northern Colorado, they

391
00:22:27.240 --> 00:22:30.680
definitely know steals It was so fun. But can any

392
00:22:30.680 --> 00:22:33.880
independent now with Kroger and Walmart and all these costco

393
00:22:34.279 --> 00:22:36.880
sask can an independent grocery store even make it anymore?

394
00:22:37.519 --> 00:22:41.680
There are some independence that are still around. There are

395
00:22:41.720 --> 00:22:48.720
some larger independence like LUNs and bayer Ley's, Wegman's back East.

396
00:22:49.599 --> 00:22:53.400
It's pretty tough a lot of competition. I think you

397
00:22:53.519 --> 00:22:56.440
need to be in a smaller community, a smaller town.

398
00:22:57.559 --> 00:23:01.920
My brother's kids having it independent store, and I want.

399
00:23:03.160 --> 00:23:06.680
There's just been an independent store that opened in Johnstown.

400
00:23:07.200 --> 00:23:10.359
It's called Woods there from another state.

401
00:23:12.240 --> 00:23:14.759
Is it just the purchasing power they don't have the

402
00:23:14.759 --> 00:23:17.039
hard po The hard part.

403
00:23:16.880 --> 00:23:23.240
Is a purchasing power. Yeah. If this is an okay time,

404
00:23:23.279 --> 00:23:25.440
I'll just tell you what happened to Steele's. What made

405
00:23:25.480 --> 00:23:29.720
it hard for Steeles to survive. We opened a new

406
00:23:29.880 --> 00:23:34.000
store on the corner of Drake and Shields. It was

407
00:23:34.200 --> 00:23:39.440
close to Drake and Shields in nineteen ninety eight. In December,

408
00:23:40.279 --> 00:23:42.720
two months after we opened it, the city closed the

409
00:23:42.839 --> 00:23:46.000
road in front of it. We were doing three hundred

410
00:23:46.000 --> 00:23:50.160
and ninety thousand a week, which was on target with projections.

411
00:23:50.839 --> 00:23:53.519
We dropped down to one hundred and ninety thousand a week.

412
00:23:54.079 --> 00:24:00.880
Our customers couldn't get there. The road was closed for months.

413
00:24:01.759 --> 00:24:04.519
The day the road opened, our supplier tried to take

414
00:24:04.599 --> 00:24:07.839
us over. They sent somebody in that I called Jack

415
00:24:07.880 --> 00:24:10.640
the Ripper. He said, give us a million dollars or

416
00:24:10.640 --> 00:24:14.920
give us your keys today. We never could make a

417
00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:18.279
deal with them. Every time they would make an offer,

418
00:24:18.359 --> 00:24:21.039
they would call the CEO and he would rescind it

419
00:24:22.559 --> 00:24:25.039
and they would come back with the worst offer. So

420
00:24:25.319 --> 00:24:28.680
by midnight that night we hadn't made a deal and

421
00:24:28.720 --> 00:24:34.880
they flew back to their headquarters. We ended up suing

422
00:24:34.960 --> 00:24:40.039
them in federal court and won because they had recal violations,

423
00:24:40.079 --> 00:24:43.640
but it cost us a million dollars we filed for

424
00:24:44.119 --> 00:24:46.519
We had to sell one of our buildings and lease

425
00:24:46.559 --> 00:24:50.519
it back in order to pay our legal fees. So,

426
00:24:50.759 --> 00:24:55.400
you know, things that go wrong when you're an independent

427
00:24:55.759 --> 00:24:56.720
can take you down.

428
00:24:57.079 --> 00:24:59.839
Well, yeah, you can't. You know, anybody else absorb in it.

429
00:25:00.279 --> 00:25:04.680
No, we had our plan, our reorganization plan approved in

430
00:25:04.799 --> 00:25:08.519
August and then super Walmart opened on the corner of

431
00:25:08.599 --> 00:25:12.799
le May and Mulberry. When a new store opens, customers

432
00:25:13.759 --> 00:25:16.200
usually want to go there just to see what it's like,

433
00:25:16.319 --> 00:25:18.799
and it takes at least three months to pre your

434
00:25:18.799 --> 00:25:22.599
sales to return to normal. But our creditors wouldn't give

435
00:25:22.680 --> 00:25:26.960
us the opportunity to wait, so we had to we

436
00:25:27.000 --> 00:25:31.720
had to file for chapter seven. So when those things happen,

437
00:25:31.799 --> 00:25:34.920
when you have something go wrong and you're little, it's

438
00:25:34.960 --> 00:25:39.640
really hard. I've often wondered how the small store survived

439
00:25:39.720 --> 00:25:42.559
during COVID. That had to just be really difficult.

440
00:25:42.960 --> 00:25:44.880
Yeah, well, luckily, like you just said, some of them

441
00:25:44.920 --> 00:25:47.160
did hope we'll still be able to make a run

442
00:25:47.200 --> 00:25:51.960
for it. Yeah, that people don't really think it's something

443
00:25:52.000 --> 00:25:54.640
like closing the street. I mean what it's like, Oh,

444
00:25:54.720 --> 00:25:56.839
you got to be joking me, and that's like, that's

445
00:25:56.880 --> 00:25:57.640
just not even fair.

446
00:25:58.400 --> 00:26:01.640
Well, no, and we were totally unaware of it that

447
00:26:01.680 --> 00:26:03.640
it would was even a possibility.

448
00:26:03.960 --> 00:26:05.880
You would have thought the city of four Collins would

449
00:26:05.880 --> 00:26:07.920
have actually told you, you know, we know you're building

450
00:26:07.920 --> 00:26:09.920
the store and everything you started, but just so you know,

451
00:26:10.000 --> 00:26:11.559
there's gonna be a six month road closure right in

452
00:26:11.599 --> 00:26:12.000
front of it.

453
00:26:12.680 --> 00:26:15.279
Yeah, or maybe they could have gotten it done a

454
00:26:15.279 --> 00:26:21.759
little faster. I was driving my grandson to baseball or

455
00:26:21.960 --> 00:26:24.519
I guess it was football practice, and that over on

456
00:26:26.319 --> 00:26:30.480
they had an intersection off the highway. One of the

457
00:26:30.519 --> 00:26:33.759
exits was closed for construction, and we were driving by

458
00:26:33.839 --> 00:26:35.759
and all the men were just standing there, and my

459
00:26:35.799 --> 00:26:38.759
grandson says, well, they're never going to get done if

460
00:26:38.799 --> 00:26:39.960
they just stand there.

461
00:26:40.519 --> 00:26:44.799
So yep, say, that's what you get from working in

462
00:26:44.839 --> 00:26:47.079
a business. He knew growing up in the grocery business

463
00:26:47.079 --> 00:26:49.480
that hey, you got to work. Yeah, is there what

464
00:26:49.599 --> 00:26:52.000
part of the when you were on the floor. Is

465
00:26:52.039 --> 00:26:54.240
there any one department that you liked the most?

466
00:26:54.839 --> 00:26:57.960
I like the deli the best. The delis were named

467
00:26:57.960 --> 00:27:01.359
for me, Caroline Stelli's, and that would have been my

468
00:27:01.640 --> 00:27:05.079
that's my favorite department. Most people don't like the.

469
00:27:05.079 --> 00:27:09.359
Delia, yeah, because it's kind of I mean it's not,

470
00:27:09.400 --> 00:27:11.240
but it's kind of like a fast food story, you know,

471
00:27:11.240 --> 00:27:13.160
where you're just preparing food real quick because these people

472
00:27:13.160 --> 00:27:15.519
are coming up and it's not I think the other

473
00:27:15.519 --> 00:27:17.359
ones are kind of lazy. They just want to stalk shelves.

474
00:27:17.680 --> 00:27:21.640
Yes, I started stocking shelves when I was a little girl,

475
00:27:21.839 --> 00:27:25.119
and we would stop them by pictures and my mother

476
00:27:25.240 --> 00:27:28.519
was always amazed. I could tell the difference between French

477
00:27:28.640 --> 00:27:31.359
green beans and just plain old green beans.

478
00:27:32.519 --> 00:27:34.640
For a little girl. Yeah, that would be pretty tough.

479
00:27:36.160 --> 00:27:38.920
So when you go to the deli, my dad likes,

480
00:27:39.200 --> 00:27:42.400
you know, fresh chicken. These advertise y chicken or something's there.

481
00:27:43.119 --> 00:27:45.039
How long when you because I don't even know if

482
00:27:45.079 --> 00:27:47.759
they have real expiration? How long can a deli meat

483
00:27:47.759 --> 00:27:49.160
stay before you have to throw it out?

484
00:27:49.400 --> 00:27:51.559
Oh lord, I don't like to keep my deli meat

485
00:27:51.640 --> 00:27:56.680
longer than five days. You can tell. You can tell

486
00:27:56.720 --> 00:27:59.440
if it's going bad, because it'll start to get slimy.

487
00:28:00.079 --> 00:28:02.960
Sometimes it will last seven. But five days for me

488
00:28:03.160 --> 00:28:04.119
is about the max.

489
00:28:04.400 --> 00:28:06.599
Okay, cool, And the deli is perfect because I mean

490
00:28:06.640 --> 00:28:08.319
you like to cook and all your creative stuff. I

491
00:28:08.319 --> 00:28:10.440
bet people love your deli.

492
00:28:10.839 --> 00:28:14.160
Yeah, it was. It was really nice. As we progressed

493
00:28:14.200 --> 00:28:19.640
in it. We had take home entrees. I remember the

494
00:28:19.720 --> 00:28:26.920
last entree we had was macadamia encrusted halibate. So we

495
00:28:27.000 --> 00:28:29.079
had some really nice things to take home.

496
00:28:29.359 --> 00:28:29.880
Yeah, and that's that.

497
00:28:31.440 --> 00:28:35.960
We made most everything. Another tip that I don't think

498
00:28:36.000 --> 00:28:38.440
most people know is if you're shopping in the deli,

499
00:28:39.079 --> 00:28:43.960
most leftovers are only good for three days. So if

500
00:28:44.000 --> 00:28:48.640
you're buying a chef prepared salad in the deli, you

501
00:28:48.680 --> 00:28:51.480
want to eat it probably that day or the next day.

502
00:28:52.000 --> 00:28:54.359
It could have been, you know, sitting for a couple

503
00:28:54.359 --> 00:28:55.119
of days.

504
00:28:55.519 --> 00:28:57.799
So no five day reel on that. That's only three.

505
00:28:58.079 --> 00:29:01.599
Yeah, and a lot of the you know, I don't

506
00:29:01.599 --> 00:29:06.880
think Kroger makes anything in store anymore. So most of

507
00:29:06.920 --> 00:29:10.200
the deli salads are going to have a lot of preservatives. Right,

508
00:29:10.839 --> 00:29:13.920
They will keep a little longer, but if they're chef prepared,

509
00:29:14.440 --> 00:29:16.920
you should eat them within one to two days.

510
00:29:17.680 --> 00:29:24.720
Good, no, go go go go goat shod dish.

511
00:29:24.759 --> 00:29:26.559
Shiveth day, please don't part.

512
00:29:26.680 --> 00:29:28.119
He left this Shuveday.

513
00:29:28.160 --> 00:29:29.240
We won't siple card.

514
00:29:29.319 --> 00:29:31.960
He like this shiveth Day, and you know we don't

515
00:29:31.960 --> 00:29:33.440
give day.

516
00:29:34.000 --> 00:29:37.000
Well, just check out a born on September the eighth.

517
00:29:37.279 --> 00:29:45.119
You come a walsome motulu with me. Wallstwalls Matila. You

519
00:29:49.519 --> 00:29:53.200
saying as he said, now, my baiy bo, you come

520
00:29:53.240 --> 00:29:55.519
a walsome matulu with me.

521
00:29:57.000 --> 00:30:00.200
That was the father of country music, Jimmy Rogers. He

522
00:30:00.240 --> 00:30:02.839
was born in Meridian in Mississippi in eighteen ninety seven.

523
00:30:03.160 --> 00:30:06.079
Didn't really tour, not back then anyway. Mostly he was

524
00:30:06.119 --> 00:30:08.519
just known for his records and they didn't release albums,

525
00:30:08.559 --> 00:30:11.000
so he just released his singles. Between nineteen twenty seven

526
00:30:11.039 --> 00:30:13.799
and nineteen thirty eight, Jimmy released over one hundred records,

527
00:30:13.960 --> 00:30:15.720
and of course they didn't have music charts back then,

528
00:30:15.759 --> 00:30:17.559
so we don't know exactly how huge he was, but

529
00:30:17.960 --> 00:30:20.920
trust me, he was really really big and popular back then.

530
00:30:21.119 --> 00:30:23.519
He was married and they had two daughters. Jimmy he

531
00:30:23.559 --> 00:30:25.079

532
00:30:25.200 --> 00:30:28.000

He played the same guy on three different TV shows.

535
00:30:35.079 --> 00:30:38.519

and eight. They had two children. Frankie died in twenty

541
00:30:52.759 --> 00:30:55.640
twelve at ninety six years old, and we got.

542
00:30:55.440 --> 00:30:57.680
Out there was gonna k.

543
00:31:09.000 --> 00:31:10.960
After the swaughter is over.

544
00:31:11.519 --> 00:31:18.599
Come Back, Here, Bring Back. That was after comedian Sid

545
00:31:18.680 --> 00:31:22.799
Caesar in the movie Greece. Sid was born in Yonkers,

546
00:31:22.880 --> 00:31:26.359

00:31:49.920 --> 00:31:53.920
He was married for sixty seven years. His wife died

554
00:31:53.960 --> 00:31:58.039
in twenty and ten. They had three children. Sid died

555
00:31:58.160 --> 00:32:01.559
in two thousand and fourteen at the age of ninety one.

556
00:32:02.519 --> 00:32:20.720
Crazy I am crazy for feeling solowly, I'm crazy crazy.

557
00:32:22.680 --> 00:32:29.000
So that was country legend. Patsy Kleine, who was born

558
00:32:29.039 --> 00:32:33.119
in Winchester, Virginia in nineteen thirty two. She had one

559
00:32:33.119 --> 00:32:37.160
of the most influential voices in music history. She was

560
00:32:37.200 --> 00:32:40.519
the first female country singer to cross over and hit

561
00:32:40.599 --> 00:32:43.799
big on the pop chart. Some of her songs I

562
00:32:43.880 --> 00:32:49.400
Fall to Pieces Crazy, She's Got You Walking After Midnight.

563
00:32:49.480 --> 00:32:53.079
She only released three albums in nineteen sixty three, she

564
00:32:53.240 --> 00:32:56.960
was flying home after singing at a benefit concert when

565
00:32:57.000 --> 00:33:00.599
her plane crash, killing all on board. She was only

566
00:33:00.680 --> 00:33:03.920
thirty years old, was married and had both a son

567
00:33:04.039 --> 00:33:04.960
and a daughter.

568
00:33:05.240 --> 00:33:06.960
A little before you. But did you like Patsy?

569
00:33:08.119 --> 00:33:09.519
I did like Patsy Cline.

570
00:33:09.720 --> 00:33:12.119
Yeah, I was kind of thinking this. I don't know

571
00:33:12.119 --> 00:33:14.480
why my mind was wondering. But we't want them to

572
00:33:14.480 --> 00:33:15.880
buy the book, so we're not going to give them

573
00:33:15.880 --> 00:33:18.119
all the secrets. But you talk about a key is

574
00:33:18.119 --> 00:33:20.799
buying and keeping your stuff fresh by freezing it is

575
00:33:20.839 --> 00:33:23.640
the easiest way to buy Vacuum locking it or what's

576
00:33:23.640 --> 00:33:25.799
your How do you freeze your fries.

577
00:33:25.680 --> 00:33:26.559
After you freeze it?

578
00:33:26.960 --> 00:33:27.839
Yeah?

579
00:33:27.880 --> 00:33:31.359
Well, for example, if you're freezing milk, you're going to

580
00:33:31.400 --> 00:33:35.079
put it into an ice cube tray and freeze it

581
00:33:35.160 --> 00:33:38.480
and when it becomes hard when it's frozen, then you'll

582
00:33:38.519 --> 00:33:43.079
put it in a freezer appropriate ziplock bag. And it's

583
00:33:43.119 --> 00:33:46.400
important to note the day you frozen on it. My

584
00:33:46.440 --> 00:33:51.079
book has storage time, so you should only keep milk

585
00:33:51.240 --> 00:33:52.240
about one month.

586
00:33:52.559 --> 00:33:55.680
Okay, well this has been those frozen turkeys that come

587
00:33:55.680 --> 00:33:59.000
out every Thanksgiving. If they don't sell, can they use it?

588
00:33:59.119 --> 00:34:00.880
Do they get freezer by Can they last to the

589
00:34:00.880 --> 00:34:01.759
next Thanksgiving?

590
00:34:03.680 --> 00:34:07.079
No, I don't think they keep them that long. One

591
00:34:07.119 --> 00:34:11.320
of my favorite tips about buying turkeys is when turkeys

592
00:34:11.400 --> 00:34:15.440
first come out, uh, the grocery stores will mound them

593
00:34:15.639 --> 00:34:19.840
quite high in the freezer. So if turkeys are above

594
00:34:19.920 --> 00:34:24.199
the freezer line, which is about six inches below the

595
00:34:24.239 --> 00:34:27.440
top of the freezer, they're going to start thawing. So,

596
00:34:27.599 --> 00:34:30.880
especially at the beginning of the season when turkeys first

597
00:34:30.880 --> 00:34:33.000
come out and people aren't buying them, if they're above

598
00:34:33.039 --> 00:34:35.440
the freezer line, you don't want to buy those because

599
00:34:35.440 --> 00:34:37.920
they will have started throwing. You want to get one

600
00:34:37.960 --> 00:34:40.239
that's below the freezer line.

601
00:34:40.360 --> 00:34:42.039
Well, that is really cool to new Thank you.

602
00:34:42.760 --> 00:34:44.159
I don't know.

603
00:35:04.360 --> 00:35:07.159
That was Benjamin Ars singing for the cars. He was

604
00:35:07.159 --> 00:35:09.760
born in lakewoiod, Ohio in nineteen forty seven. Now I

605
00:35:09.800 --> 00:35:11.599
know rick O Ka Suk saying lead for the cars,

606
00:35:11.599 --> 00:35:14.119
but they let Ben They let him sing on just

607
00:35:14.159 --> 00:35:17.440
what I needed, Let's go drive and moving in stereo.

608
00:35:17.800 --> 00:35:20.159
He even actually had one hit as a soul wards,

609
00:35:20.199 --> 00:35:22.079
but it wasn't that big. And get this, all those

610
00:35:22.119 --> 00:35:24.840
songs that Benjamin sang Rick Ocasik actually wrote him he

611
00:35:24.920 --> 00:35:25.920
just let Ben sing him.

612
00:35:26.119 --> 00:35:26.599
Now.

613
00:35:27.039 --> 00:35:29.400
He got married twice and they had one son from

614
00:35:29.440 --> 00:35:31.920
it that He ended up dying from pancreatic cancer in

615
00:35:31.960 --> 00:35:40.000
only two thousand and fifty three years old.

616
00:35:43.000 --> 00:35:52.119
What is this say?

617
00:35:52.400 --> 00:35:53.559
It was good?

618
00:35:54.800 --> 00:35:58.800
That was Amy Mann, who was born in Richmond, Virginia,

619
00:35:58.880 --> 00:36:02.679
in nineteen sixty She's currently sixty five. She started out

620
00:36:02.679 --> 00:36:06.000
singing for the band Young Snakes. I really don't like

621
00:36:06.079 --> 00:36:10.119
that name. She helped form the band Tell Tuesday in

622
00:36:10.239 --> 00:36:14.039
nineteen eighty two. They got the name Tell Tuesday from

623
00:36:14.079 --> 00:36:19.559
a painting by a German painter. Amy sang lead, played bass, guitar,

624
00:36:19.760 --> 00:36:23.840
and wrote all their songs. Some of their hits voices Carrie,

625
00:36:23.960 --> 00:36:27.760
what about Love? Coming Up Close? Amy went solo in

626
00:36:27.880 --> 00:36:30.920
nineteen ninety. There was a lot of talk about the

627
00:36:31.000 --> 00:36:34.199
band getting back together a couple of months ago. That

628
00:36:34.400 --> 00:36:37.920
was just a one time show. Amy is still solo.

629
00:36:38.519 --> 00:36:42.639
In twenty eighteen, she went a Grammy for Best Folk Albums.

630
00:36:42.679 --> 00:36:47.039
She married Michael Penn in nineteen ninety seven, who is

631
00:36:47.199 --> 00:36:52.159
the brother older brother of Sean Penn. After David Arquette

632
00:36:52.280 --> 00:36:56.840
was born in Bittonville, Virginia in nineteen seventy one. He

633
00:36:57.000 --> 00:37:00.559
is fifty four today, he is the youngest of all

634
00:37:00.559 --> 00:37:04.559
the acting archetes, has three older sisters, all of whom

635
00:37:04.599 --> 00:37:09.000
are actresses. David played the sheriff in all the screen movies.

636
00:37:09.639 --> 00:37:13.800
Also was in Never Been Kissed, three Thousand Miles to Graceland,

637
00:37:14.400 --> 00:37:19.360
Eight Legged Freaks. He married actress Courtney Cox for fourteen years.

638
00:37:19.840 --> 00:37:22.920
They had a daughter. He married his second wife in

639
00:37:22.960 --> 00:37:26.039
twenty and fifteen and they have two sons.

640
00:37:26.280 --> 00:37:28.079
So when you go to the grocery store, now, knowing

641
00:37:28.079 --> 00:37:30.119
all the tips and tricks of the trade, is there

642
00:37:30.199 --> 00:37:31.960
a time you go when you know that it's going

643
00:37:32.039 --> 00:37:35.559
to be the least amount crowded and they're still going

644
00:37:35.639 --> 00:37:37.320
to have the full shelves and everything.

645
00:37:39.159 --> 00:37:43.800
Well, actually, since I live in Windsor, we have a

646
00:37:43.960 --> 00:37:46.480
Kings in a safe way, I prefer to shop at

647
00:37:46.519 --> 00:37:52.119
the Kings. My son in law is a King superstore manager,

648
00:37:52.159 --> 00:37:54.679
and he told me that was a very difficult store

649
00:37:54.719 --> 00:37:58.320
to shop because they don't have a back room. So

650
00:37:58.440 --> 00:38:02.159
I did ask the store managers what days were best

651
00:38:02.239 --> 00:38:05.960
to shop, and he said Tuesday and Friday because that's

652
00:38:06.000 --> 00:38:07.679
the day they get their trucks.

653
00:38:07.880 --> 00:38:11.280
Oh well, so basically, if you want to just ask

654
00:38:12.519 --> 00:38:14.159
don't guess. Just ask them and they'll tell you.

655
00:38:14.559 --> 00:38:17.840
Yeah, ask them, what's the best day? The King the

656
00:38:17.880 --> 00:38:20.599
windsor King Soupers has a lot. If you're not there

657
00:38:20.719 --> 00:38:23.039
on a good day, they can have a lot of outs.

658
00:38:23.400 --> 00:38:26.000
And the reason is they don't have a back room.

659
00:38:26.320 --> 00:38:28.519
Seems kind of Yeah.

660
00:38:28.320 --> 00:38:31.360
If your store has outs, I'd ask the store manager

661
00:38:31.360 --> 00:38:32.760
what day do you get your truck?

662
00:38:33.199 --> 00:38:36.199
Well, that's good to know. Actor Martin Freeman. He's also

663
00:38:36.239 --> 00:38:39.280
fifty four. He's born in Aldershot, England. Best known for

664
00:38:39.320 --> 00:38:42.159
playing Bilbo Baggins in the Hobbit movies. You watched all those,

665
00:38:42.199 --> 00:38:43.880
didn't you with your grandkids?

666
00:38:44.480 --> 00:38:45.480
The What movies?

667
00:38:45.639 --> 00:38:48.920
The Hobbit movies? Oh yes, Now he was in some

668
00:38:48.960 --> 00:38:52.599
other movies. He's in Love actually, Hitchhicker's Guide to the Galaxy,

669
00:38:52.960 --> 00:38:54.679
Whiskey Tangoed, Fox Truck.

670
00:38:55.000 --> 00:38:55.159
Now.

671
00:38:55.199 --> 00:38:58.199
He was with actress Amanda Abbington for sixteen years. They

672
00:38:58.199 --> 00:38:59.920
had a son and a daughter. They were married.

673
00:39:02.639 --> 00:39:23.599
Now.

674
00:39:23.719 --> 00:39:26.280
She was born at Leish Chamar and she has worldwide

675
00:39:26.280 --> 00:39:29.360
famous simply as Pink forty six today. She was born

676
00:39:29.360 --> 00:39:32.719
in Doylestown, Pennsylvania, in nineteen seventy nine. Now, she started

677
00:39:32.719 --> 00:39:35.599
out in an all girl group, and they were singing

678
00:39:35.599 --> 00:39:38.280
and kind of having decent fame, but nothing. Finally, a

679
00:39:38.320 --> 00:39:40.320
record executive came up to her and said, you know what,

680
00:39:40.320 --> 00:39:42.719
you'd be a lot better as a solo artist, sixty

681
00:39:42.800 --> 00:39:46.159
million records. That later record executive was totally right. Now,

682
00:39:46.199 --> 00:39:48.159
you know what, you can just tell Pink it's cool now.

683
00:39:48.199 --> 00:39:51.039
Her boyfriend, he was a motocross racer, and during one

684
00:39:51.079 --> 00:39:53.119
of his races, she went on to the side of

685
00:39:53.159 --> 00:39:55.800
the track held up a sign proposing marriage to him

686
00:39:56.280 --> 00:39:58.639
right in the middle of the race. He said yes,

687
00:39:58.679 --> 00:40:00.760
and they got married in two thousands and they have

688
00:40:00.880 --> 00:40:03.599
one son and one daughter. Would you have had the

689
00:40:03.639 --> 00:40:05.880
nerve to do that if your husband was a motorcycle racer?

690
00:40:06.280 --> 00:40:06.480
No?

691
00:40:08.159 --> 00:40:10.679
Oh, So, I think we've covered most of everything. We're

692
00:40:10.679 --> 00:40:12.360
going to put links to all how you can get

693
00:40:12.360 --> 00:40:15.320

694
00:40:15.360 --> 00:40:17.880
all that kind of stuff. But you're still I saw

695
00:40:17.880 --> 00:40:19.480
it today. I think it was you just released a

696
00:40:19.519 --> 00:40:23.920
new episode or recipe if banadas. Do you do that

697
00:40:24.000 --> 00:40:24.559
quite often?

698
00:40:25.280 --> 00:40:30.000
Yeah, I have a weekly newsletter that comes out every Friday,

699
00:40:30.559 --> 00:40:34.719
and most of my recipes are new. I actually have

700
00:40:34.880 --> 00:40:40.360
enough to do another cookbook. But I have written a

701
00:40:40.519 --> 00:40:45.480
historical fiction book that I just got back from the

702
00:40:45.559 --> 00:40:51.719
content editor and it's up for its I'm redoing it,

703
00:40:52.039 --> 00:40:56.039
rewriting it, and I'm working on my memoir. So I

704
00:40:56.039 --> 00:40:57.960
don't know that I'm going to do another cookbook that

705
00:40:58.000 --> 00:41:00.599
I do do I do have a week blog.

706
00:41:01.000 --> 00:41:03.000
Well that's really cool, and we'll let you guys know

707
00:41:03.000 --> 00:41:06.239
that because that recipe that sounds really good. I was

708
00:41:06.280 --> 00:41:07.920
going to read that, going ooh it was.

709
00:41:08.239 --> 00:41:10.599
It was really good. It is really good.

710
00:41:12.320 --> 00:41:14.599
That's golf. And we'll put a link to your newsletter

711
00:41:14.639 --> 00:41:16.920
and how to get your books and everything. Did we forget?

712
00:41:17.000 --> 00:41:18.440
I mean, you're doing a lot of you got a

713
00:41:18.519 --> 00:41:20.480
historical fiction and did a lot of research on that

714
00:41:20.599 --> 00:41:21.960
or just kind of come out of your mind.

715
00:41:22.360 --> 00:41:26.519
Oh, no, I did a lot of research. Actually, it's

716
00:41:26.800 --> 00:41:30.599
a three part family saga, and it's really the story

717
00:41:30.599 --> 00:41:37.639
of my grandmother. My grandfather left my grandmother and my

718
00:41:37.800 --> 00:41:41.199
dad in charge of the farm in nineteen twenty two

719
00:41:41.320 --> 00:41:44.679
and traveled around the country behind oil and gas leases.

720
00:41:45.519 --> 00:41:52.519
And my book is I think my family was a

721
00:41:52.519 --> 00:41:56.360
bit dysfunctional, and my my historical fiction book is just

722
00:41:56.440 --> 00:42:01.760
my way of giving some sanity to my family. My

723
00:42:01.960 --> 00:42:05.320
historical fiction starts in nineteen oh one with the discovery

724
00:42:05.320 --> 00:42:07.719
of oil and gas in Beaumont, Texas.

725
00:42:07.920 --> 00:42:10.360
Oh, that sounds like a fun read, so we'll keep

726
00:42:10.400 --> 00:42:11.800
our eyes out for that. After you get done with

727
00:42:11.840 --> 00:42:14.199
your rerating as much writing as you're done, it's amazing

728
00:42:14.199 --> 00:42:15.719
you can get anything it's actually completed.

729
00:42:16.239 --> 00:42:20.440
It's hard, you know, but writers are never done. They

730
00:42:20.480 --> 00:42:21.800
always want to keep redoing.

731
00:42:22.159 --> 00:42:23.760
Even when they're done, they're not done.

732
00:42:23.920 --> 00:42:25.559
Even when they're done, they're not done.

733
00:42:25.800 --> 00:42:28.119
Well, thank you very much for being here. You've been awesome.

745
00:42:50.159 --> 00:42:54.280
But Elizabeth says is while life is hard, the courageous

746
00:42:54.280 --> 00:42:56.840
they do not lie down and accept defeat. They are

747
00:42:56.880 --> 00:42:59.239
all the more determined to struggle for a better future.
