Pat’s Pantry – Butter Tart Taste Test

My family is celebrating our Canadian vacation by making some treats from Canada to mix up this year’s Thanksgiving. I made Butter Tarts and this silly video to taste test them.

I used this recipe – https://www.rockrecipes.com/best-classic-canadian-butter-t…/ (Firm style!)

Interesting People #24: My Brother Explains Bitcoin

NOTE: Bitcoin has gone up in value since we recorded. It is currently $8,158.81 per coin on 11/22/17

I have heard a lot about Bitcoin lately, but I have to admit that I didn’t understand what a Bitcoin was before I spoke with my brother. He is a web developer who took the plunge into the Bitcoin life earlier this year. In this episode we discuss…er…um…well he explains the history of Bitcoin, how the economy of it works, and why he became so passionately invested in its future.

Don’t miss out on learning about Bitcoins and cryptocurrency because it looks like it is here to stay. For example, its value jumped $2,000 during the process of editing this episode.

Thanks, Bro!

{Tom’s Take- Movies and Books!} The Adventures of Hap and Leonard

The Adventures of Hap and Leonard are based on the books by Joe Lansdale.

These book are a rough brutal swamp noir that takes place in East Texas, with really good guys and really bad guys. Hide the kids from these books!

The main characters are tough guys with martial arts and military experience– so they’re ready for any kind of situation.

Now on the Sundance channel, there is a series of Hap and Leonard on TV that started in March 2017 and has been renewed for six episodes next year.

Michael Kenneth Williams from Boardwalk Empire and The Wire is starring in the tv series along with James Purefoy.

I would recommend these books to people who like deep south thrillers. I think losers are far more interesting than winners and that is what you get in The Adventures of Hap and Leonard. Everyone likes weakness’ too, and these characters have their own.

I have not seen the Sundance Series yet, it’s their highest rated TV show on the channel. So please let me know what you think at [email protected], if you have!

*DEFINITELY NOT FOR CHILDREN, this is an ADULT books series/show*

 

Katie’s Kitchen- Thanksgiving Appetizer! Cranberry Brie Puffs

Heading to someone’s house for Thanksgiving dinner this year? Well, if you need to bring something delicious, but don’t have much time, then this appetizer might be perfect for you! 

I saw this recipe circulating on the videos on my Facebook feed and had to try them!

Three ingredients…that’s all you need!…and a muffin pan. 

  1. Puff Pastries (1 box, will make you approx. 12 pastrys, so I used 2 boxes for more people) *Lay the layer out flat and let defrost for 40 mins.*
  2. Brie – your fav. brie from your local grocery store. Depending on the size of it, you will need one 3/4 in. cube for the middle of each of your puffs.
  3. Cranberry sauce- I used a can of pre-made whole cranberry sauce for mine…just to make it quicker, but you can definitely use your own homemade (probably taste even better!)

Pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees and while that’s heating up cut your puff pastry into 3×4 or 3×3 in. squares. Push the squares into the holes in the muffin pan. Next, take your brie cubes and place one into each puff pastry and then top with a dollop of cranberry sauce.

Toss them in the oven to cook for 10 mins. or until the edges of the flaky pastry are looking toasty! Then let them cool for a minute before you bite in, but the melty cheese with the cranberry and pastry is SO delicious!!! 

Easy peasyyyy! They look good on a festive plate and everyone will want one!

Videos from the Joe Nichols show

I filmed as much of the Joe Nichols show as I could before my phone died. This is a mix of the crew, the concert, and Joe’s amazing reaction to my stache!
