Hey so, Hey mom! Umm, so I was just reading the recipe and I
literally answered my own question, so you can feel free to ignore the email I
just sent you. Like, I sent off the email and then I go back to the directions,
and I… it says “whisk together the egg whites and the buttermilk in a small
bowl and in another bowl whisk together the egg yolks with the melted
butter.” Wow. There is lots of cleanup
to this recipe. Well, we got time for
it. Better than just sitting around and not doing anything. Egg whites and buttermilk, so I’m going to
need a bit of a larger bowl. Oh, hello.
Was this the one with the crack in the bottom? No this was that one. So one of these measuring thingymabobbers for
liquids has a hole in the bottom that I found out about on my first or second,
I think second pancake Monday with you.
(whistling and singing unknown song) 2 cups buttermilk, okay!
Anyways, lets see, Andy and Ralph, oh I love Andy and
Ralph. They’re doing… They’re
struggling. Andy moved back in with Ralph.
Cause she was gonna be baptized a week ago in Great Falls, but decided
that she needed to come here. She read the Family Proclamation and the spirit
told her that she needed to try being a family, came back and they’ve been
struggling. Hard core. We had a lesson set with them this week, we went over
and Ralph was pretty much “Let’s just make it short this week, guys. I’m pretty tired.” We could tell they’ve been arguing pretty bad. They both looked like they were just about to
burst into tears, and he is not a very emotional guy, he’s this tough
farmer. But, long story short, we went
to start giving the lesson we had planned, and the spirit was just like,
“No,no,no,no, Stop. You just walked into this situation, do you really think
that you need to still give this lesson?”
And we’re like, “No, you’re right, Spirit. What shall we teach?” And
he’s like, “Just offer them a blessing to start off. I’m pretty good with these things.” And we’re like, “okay, we’ll do that.” And so we offer them a blessing and it was
super powerful, we’re both in tears. It
was really good, and we’ll be seeing how that goes.
Crap, yeah, how do I even separate an egg first? I just poured the milk in that and I don’t
even know how to separate an egg. (whistling)
I need eggs first. Crap. I’m gonna pause this recording. I’m going to figure out my life. See you! So after some brief consulting with
my companion and grabbing the eggs, we determined that the best thing to do was
to crack the egg and try to put the yolk in one thing and all the rest of the
whites in another. Let’s see… ok whisk
the egg whites and the buttermilk, and the egg yolks and the, oh wait, MELTED
butter, How much butter? Four tablespoons melted butter. Oh, I did not see
that. You! You look like a bowl. That’s because you are a bowl. Is there a microwave? Yes there is.
Oh my goodness, so much cleanup. (whistling unknown song) 4 tablespoons. Thank goodness these things come pre-measured
in sticks of butter. So 4 tablespoons,
that’s got to be what, 4 sticks? No just kidding I know it says it on the
paper. Put that in the bowl, and I’ll
melt that down. (more whistling while
waiting for microwave) Almost. Done. Most of the butter is melted.
Ah, let’s see.
Boulder. Boulder is doing
great. We just had an amazing meeting
with our stake president the other day, we meet with him every other week as
zone leaders and sister training leaders.
We’re not sister training leaders, but the sister training leaders come.
Oh my goodness, we were talking about it
the other day and I am so thankful there’s no chance of me ever being a sister
training leader, cause that is such a hard assignment. I’d say it’s up there with Assistant, to be
honest. You’re a sister, over another
group of sisters, for instance the sister training leaders in our mission are
each over three to four zones. We have
sister training leaders here in Helena in our zone, and they’re over the Butte,
Bozeman, both Great Falls zones, and they are required to go on exchanges with
every sister in their area, and then also deal with all the problems and drama,
and counsel sisters and like that’s our job as zone leaders, but we don’t go on
exchanges with all the elders. Yeah,
its… ah bless their hearts. I don’t know how they stay sane. They both looked pretty stressed. There’s some struggling sisters in our zone
right now, both great sisters, both hard working… crap, which one is which,
before I start cracking? Ummm, Egg
whites and buttermilk in a small bowl.
Egg yolks with the melted butter.
So Im going to put both of these right next to each other, whichever
start to comes out first is whatever container I try and throw the egg
over. I feel like egg whites would come
out first. So I’m just going to
naturally aim for, what would that be? The buttermilk. Oh crap!! Oh, I can just spoon out the yolk
now. If I can find it. The whole thing just like dropped in there. Crap.
I mean, I have to put these both together eventually so it shouldn’t be
too big of a difference, right? Where
did the yolk go?! Where did the yolk go?!
Where’d it go? I can’t see it in
the buttermilk. Oh! I found it! Oh crap, I think I broke it. Oh yeah.
So I’m just going to pour the butter in the buttermilk now, just cry,
and give up. Sorry Alton Brown, I know
there’s most likely a reason, a very logical reason, but I suck. I’ll try again next week. Hopefully with some tips from you, mom. Just start putting stuff in the sink now. (whistling star wars) Gosh darnit! I just
found the yolk and it’s not broken! After I poured in the butter. Awesome.
Well, I broke the yolk now. And
now I think I need… Oh yeah, one more egg. “Whisk together egg whites and buttermilk
and the egg yolks in melted butter.” Hey so good thing from now on the only
thing we’ll have to worry about putting the pancake mix together is the egg
thing because the rest is already done. I have all this mix now! And now that I’ve done it before, it
shouldn’t be too hard. I shouldn’t make
(unintelligible) again, this was just a disaster. But fun! And surely a story for the memories,
and journal, and you.
It’s been… wow. I
also need to clean up here. I feel like
a little kid. “I just helped my mom
bake!” And I made the kitchen into a war zone.
There we go, mixing it all thoroughly.
So I have this… How much… Two cups of the pancake mix recipe. Okay so this is good for three uses it looks
like. I’ve been kind of looking forward
to this all week. I would call this
“thoroughly whisked” even though it’s the most lazy whisking and it’s with a
spoon. I just don’t want to go through
the bother of cleaning the whisk, not gonna lie. Oh, this is probably going to make a lot more
sense, there’s stuff sticking to the sides.
I think it’s the milk? No, that’s
butter. It’s definitely the butter. Oh!
I get it, the milk is cold, so the butter is starting to solidify. Oh… oh. I’m going to warm it up a little
more. That’s probably going to do
something catastrophic to it. So maybe I will just hurry and combine it with
the mix before anything else happens.
You’re probably wincing and have a lot of comments, but hey, better
learn now than never? (whistling Star Wars)
Ok, that’s one cup, three-thirds of a cup now, 2, one and
two thirds… Two. Directions – pour the
liquid ingredients on top of the dry ingredients mix the batter just enough to
bring it together, don’t try to get all the lumps out, Perfect! Because lumps
are good, I know that from Brother Cheatham.
Lumps are your friends. Lumps are
friends and food. This is a lot of
mix. I’m probably going to shorten this
down next week I’m probably going to use one cup of buttermilk, one egg, two
tablespoons of butter, Just divide the liquid part in half, that way I only use
one cup of mix. Cause already this is
looking like a lot. I’ll make my
companion feast with me. Because I’m
sure this will be really tasty, cause this is looking like the perfect
consistency, I just about have all the ingredients together, still nice and
lumpy… I enjoy using spoons just because I feel like they get all the
ingredients out. Ok, oh yeah, crap,
griddle. I’m supposed to be like
buttering it and getting it warmed up.
How long is this recording?
Probably going to pause it… Yeah! All right, I hope you have a wonderful day, I
love you so much and I’m going to make pancakes right after this. Love you mom! Bye! Did it save?
I don’t think it did? Save!
