I'm somehow not at all surprised Josh was raised by a single parent because he's got that exact combination of creativity, determination and fretfulness, like "how am I going to make this work? I don't know but I have to so I'm going to."
I was watching him make the enchilada filling and I was like damn I cook that type of stuff a lot, then he was like just throw in spices and I was like yea that’s how I cook and then he was like this brings me to my child hood that single parent that doesn’t know how to cook and it was then I realized that I was raised by a single parent and took on their cooking style which was clueless cooking
@@jakedeforus6779I'm from an affluent two parent family, am an excellent cook today, and my mother cooked this way too. Most people that have decent culinary ability do this, it's bugger all to do with your upbringing, especially considering how easy it is to develop skills in the kitchen later in life.
Travis Hunt if you enjoy this style you should check out Barry Lewis, his channel is a lot like this and he does a lot of recipes that you may actually make along with some more ridiculous things like his giant food videos.
All these recipes look good. I'm a single mom of 2 struggling rn to find meals to make for my kids and sick mom. The ramen video and this one has given me some great meal ideas. Thank you for being your mythical best Josh and providing us with humor and comfort.
Guys, these “recipes with scraps” videos are amazing. They’re really weirdly reassuring. There’s no pretentious Farmers Market shopping list. Like making a real meal out of crazy scraps when you can’t find all the ingredients you’re used to. I love it. Also, realizing that Josh is hilarious now that he’s getting so much more screen time. Anyways, doing great! Keep it up!
Chili powder will actually lose its flavor when you leave it out. The restaurant I worked at kept our chili flakes and powder in the freezer, and only took it out in small amounts as we needed it. Same goes with hot sauce actually.
But did you see how he washed his hands? He put some soap on them and then just rinsed it off and continues washing with just water! Josh! I have no idea how he isn't dead yet.
"I've been picking my fingernails out of nervousness" 16:18 Just that little touch of reality.. hits hard. We appreciate the work you do, Josh. These videos help us all forget for a bit about the craziness going on while simultaneously reminding us how important hygiene is with your unique personality and shenanigans. Stay safe, stay healthy, stay happy. We'll get through this.
I graduated as an economist 2 years ago, basically cov virus is bursting the bubble much quicker than it should, we are already in a recession so things are going to become worse, prepare yourself for it.
I'm preferring these quarantine videos over Josh's regular stuff. I feel like we get a more sincere glimpse into Josh - plus I love the practicality of these recipes.
"Actually it is a knife, this is MY knife!" I don't know why, but that line brought a tear to my eye. Probably the wholesomeness of it, combined with being a cook myself and I know how important one's own knife can be to them. My knife has helped me cook so much and that's very emotional. I'm rambling but idk had to share that.
I love how the recipes focus on concepts instead of giving exact ingredients. I felt empowered to make decisions about substitutions. I'm sure there are ideal ingredients to make the best recipe, but I definitely learned more about cooking by being able to make educated decisions. I made enchiladas last night and they came out fantastic.
one of the reasons i really like these videos-other than I Just Think Josh Is Neat-is that even if you don't have the exact things to make what he's making, it just kind of gives you an idea of what you can do. it's more about teaching the process of putting nutrient-dense meals together than a specific recipe, and that's almost more helpful.
"You want the smallest curds possible, you can take out a little bit of aggression, frustration you know at like, I don't know, the lack of a cohesive response to a pandemic." YEP
Josh does such a good job of making the food look good, tasty and approachable. It really feels easy to follow with how freeform he keeps these recipes and that really helps to build your backbone for cooking anything and give you the confidence to make those decisions with ingredients, times, measurements, etc.
I never liked those beans growing up, and was straight disgusted when I saw my ex dump a can into some boxed mac-n-cheese. But then I tasted it. And i'll be damned, it works.
I love how Josh, the man who says frick as an adult, had such passion of his hate towards a cheese grater that he says "your gonna wanna keep cutting the cheese against you IKEA ass cheese grater." I'm dead. Love you josh.
I love Josh because he doesn’t expect everyone to have access to the same fresh/expensive ingredients that he might prefer. He’s a real person who learned to cook and wants to teach others. He doesn’t care how it looks or how others may criticize him, he just wants to be creative and find things that taste good.
*Love Love love that you're doing Quarintine meals!* Everything is a bit more difficult now and making meals easier is a HUGE help! Thanks, JOSH! Much Love Everybody 😉✌🏼💚
My son was picky for a while. I did what my grandmother did and made him sit at the table until he was done. I made him finish it cold and he cried, but now, even if something isn't his favorite, he thinks it is a lot better hot than cold. End result is I really enjoy pretty much everything now. There are only a few things that I really don't like, so I want that for him.
Entertaining and educational. I also love the compassionate tone Josh has - food doesn't need to be fancy to be good for your body and soul. Thank you so much Josh & Ryan for giving us this content!
omg josh is ACTUALLY teaching us how to cook. like properly, and how different things have different effects on the end dish. I like this new side of Josh. Please teach me more
I could watch this guy list off words he knows and never get bored. He is so comfortable/excellent with the camera. Makes you feel like he is talking to you.
Bruh... How does he remember so many quotes lmaoo Edit: I made the french onion ramen tonight from the last video and it was BOMB I can't wait too try the sloppy joes 😍
Josh should do an elementary school lunch flip series. He could take all the nasty elementary and middle school lunches that some of us have to deal with and make them better and put spins on them
No one: Josh: "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people don't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
random note to everyone who wants to know the origin it's actually from Marianne Williamson *yes, the democratic politician that tried to run for president
I genuinely don’t know how to cook that much, so when josh put in the lid and told us to keep it in there, I didn’t pick up on his sarcasm until my mom asked me why the hell am I putting the lid on my food 😂
Thanks for continuing to make content. You’re making quarantine a little more bearable. I have been stranded overseas since the 11th... and days are starting to blend together.
This is the kind of chef I wanna work and train with. Insane creativity, and makes ever dish work. I hope one day i can work with you Josh you are an AMAZING Chef!
You're really helping a lot of people with these videos, thanks. You should keep making videos with a similar tone for people after the quarantine. We need more down to earth and realistic cooking videos over these celebrity chefs giving us recipes with $120 in ingredients, 5 hour cook times, and requiring tons of skill that none of us will actually make.
Lol I appreciated that subtle roast about how the US is handling this pandemic. Those enchiladas sound hella good. I might try to convince my mom to make them. Also aaawww hi kitty.
@@bcaye if Josh is like your son, and he's like Microwave's uncle... Then you've got another son or daughter somewhere, and their kid, Microwave, is straight up sassing his/her grandma in this thread. 😂
I roll my dough into one large ball, then roll it into a log shape and cut/pinch off estimates to make 2 or 3 equal parts and continue dividing the pieces until I have what I need. 1 ball of dough = 1 log (divide into 2 equal parts) -> 2 smaller balls = 2 little logs (divide into 2 equal parts) -> 4 smaller balls = 4 little logs (divide into 3 equal parts) -> 12 smaller balls
"If you're putting these in a tortilla please don't call them sloppy José" Well, mythical chef Josh, I wasn't before, and I don't think anyone was before, but god damn if I ain't doin' it now.
"Ryan why isn't your house bigger?" That's hilarious to say ironically but terrifying because I'm sure some people don't see the problem in saying that.
