00:00You know, it's just been one hell of a winter, one miserable winter.
00:04Alexa, what's the weather?
00:08Currently 33 degrees with light snow.
00:10Today's high will be 41 degrees with 92% chance of snow this morning,
00:15dropping to 17 degrees tonight.
00:17Fuck!
00:19Alexa, say fuck.
00:22I can't use that language.
00:24Yes, you can, Alexa.
00:26Just say fuck.
00:30When it gets under 20, you have to say fuck.
00:36Mangia, mangia, bon appetit, let's eat.
00:39It's time for Tanks Cooks.
00:44Mangia, mangia, bon appetit, let's eat.
00:47It's time for Tanks Cooks.
00:49It's time, it's time, it's time once again for Tanks Cooks.
00:55You know, one thing about soup and the crock pot is you can make things and set it and forget
01:03it.
01:03Go out, go about your day.
01:06You know, I like to be taking these long, long, long, long walks.
01:10And you know, soup is something you can throw into a crock pot and then six, seven, eight hours later,
01:20it's done.
01:21And well, I've been sent a recipe for lentil soup by Anthony DeMeo.
01:28And of course, he wanted me to give a shout out to his nephews and his niece.
01:36We're talking about Marco, Alania, and Gino.
01:40You know, so I'm giving a nice shout out to them.
01:45And you know, he sent me a recipe for lentil soup.
01:50And lentil soup is a healthy soup.
01:53All right, we got the lentil soup.
01:54We're ready to go.
01:55And we're going to get this together really fast.
01:59So we're not going to be using the olive oil.
02:01But you know, we're just going to throw everything into the crock pot.
02:06And you know, we're going to throw in some of this chopped garlic into the crock pot, into the crock
02:17pot, into the crock pot.
02:19We got this, all these diced celery, onions, and carrots that we're going to throw into the crock pot, into
02:27the crock pot, into the crock pot, into the crock pot.
02:32Yes, you go.
02:34Ooh, here we go.
02:37Ta-da-da-dee, there we go.
02:39Look at that.
02:41Ha-ha, ha-ha, there it is.
02:51Okay, we're going to drop the whole bag of lentils in there.
02:54We're not going to go mento, but we're going to drop in a whole bag of lentils.
02:58Yep, 16-ounce bag of lentils.
03:02We're going to take six cups of water and toss it in here.
03:06Just flat water, just flat water.
03:08Here we go.
03:09Here's four cups of water.
03:12And an additional two.
03:18And just for a hell of it, we're going to throw in some accent.
03:22Now, we might have to put more water in because lentils can absorb a lot of water.
03:28But we're going to take, I'm going to set this on low, of course.
03:33Here we go.
03:35And then we're going to throw in eight bouillon cubes.
03:39One bouillon cube.
03:42Two bouillon cubes.
03:49Three, four bouillon cubes.
03:53And we've already taken the wrap off, so we can expedite.
03:58Five, six, seven, and eight.
04:02There we go.
04:03Eight bouillon cubes.
04:06We'll set this to cook for eight hours.
04:11And we'll check in in a few hours.
04:13Mix it around.
04:14Maybe I have to add more water.
04:16And that's how you get lentil soup started in the crock pot.
04:22Set it and forget it.
04:23And let's go out for a nice walk in this motherfucking cold.
04:28All right, uh, Sunday afternoon walk.
04:32I went to the Garfield card show.
04:35You know, it's first, third, and if there's a fifth, Sunday every month in Garfield Boys and Girls Club.
04:43I tell you what.
04:45If you want to get baseball card finds, go to the baseball, go to the Garfield, uh, card show.
04:54I mean, $3 entry.
04:57And then, yeah, I, I, I got, uh, a rusty style of rookie today.
05:03Okay, here's what I was talking about.
05:05The, uh, water was absorbed by these things.
05:08So, we're going to have to actually put more water in.
05:14So, we're about halfway through our cooking process.
05:17So, we're going to put another four cups of water in here.
05:20Yes, the water gets absorbed by the, uh, lentils.
05:27And there it is.
05:28Right back to life.
05:31In fact, we'll stir this a little bit.
05:33Yep, you can stir the soup.
05:36There it is.
05:37Stir the lentil soup.
05:45All right.
05:47Let's see how this lentil soup came out.
05:50It's been, uh, in the crock pot all day.
05:54So, let's plate the meal.
05:57Time to plate the meal.
06:01Time to plate the meal.
06:06Go ahead and cover this back up.
06:09Let's see how this lentil soup came out.
06:13Time to plate the meal.
06:17All right, here we go.
06:18I got a nice lentil soup.
06:19Oops.
06:20Spilled some of that.
06:23But, uh, here we go.
06:25We're going to see how this came out.
06:28Of course, we're going to get some little bread on the side.
06:30Butter that bread.
06:32La, la, la.
06:34Lentil soup.
06:35Let's see how it came out.
06:38Do, do, do, do, do.
06:40Lentil soup.
06:41All right.
06:50I think it came out pretty good.
06:53So, um, of course, the bread.
06:59Nice Italian bread warmed up in the oven for, uh, five minutes.
07:08So, I want to thank, once again, Anthony DeMeo and his niece and nephews, Marco, Melania, and Gino, for the
07:21recipe.
07:22And, uh, if you have a recipe you want me to cook, send it to me, njtank99 at gmail.com.
