Boop-boop!
Bo-doop, bo-doop, boop-boop!
Vlogging Every Day
in August LA edition! And cooking!
But not-- but not drunk.
[can pops open]
Boop-boop!
It's just cola, not alcoholic! In the
comments of one of my previous VEDAs, Scozio
requested that I do a cooking video,
maybe some healthy recipes.
I'm not much of a cook, but I got some
coupons from Tofurky a little while back
for some of their products. I used those
coupons to buy some products. #notsponsored
#pleasedosponsormetofurky
and I'm gonna cook four of their
products for you today. Their original
hot dogs, their chicken and apple artisan
sausage, their treehouse tempeh smoky maple
bacon, and their organic soy cake tempeh!
All four of those products are vegan products as I
believe are all of their line right now.
I really like Tofurky products! I'm going
to video different parts of the process
as I cook all four of these products
simultaneously-- not something I would
normally do. Before my title card you saw
me prep some of the things I'm going to
have with the Tofurky products that
are not the Tofurky products: rice, buns,
and the waffles,
basically. I'm gonna start off with the
regular hot dogs because the water is
already boiling, so let's go!
while that's going, I'm also going to
grease up a pan and toss in the artisan
sausages.
[ketchup squirt sound]
[sizzling]
[more sizzling]
I'm also gonna get the smaller pan ready
for some of the tempeh.
The smoky maple
bacon comes in little strips.
I've already had some of it. Going to do
this:
Boom. Kapow.
And a second piece.
Yeah! cook that right up!
I think the artisan sausage is ready so
let's get that!
Just like with the
original hot dog, I'm putting on mustard
relish, some ketchup.
[ketchup squirt sound]
The organic soy cake
comes in a big-block. I'm just going to leave
it as a block, maybe, like, split it into a
couple pieces. You could, to be more
professional about this, slice it.
But I'm going to leave it as big chunks.
[sizzling]
[sizzling]
I'm using my hand!
So here are the two sausages:
here is the original hot dog and here is
the artisan chicken and apple s-- again, both of
these vegan, from Tofurky.
The original
hot dog is excellent. It tastes like I
remember an old ballpark Frank to be.
I like it a lot
Chicken and apple, I'm very excited about
this one!
Mmm! That was delicious and it's got that artisan
crumbly sausage texture.
Mmm!
Mmm!
[toaster ejecting, then beeping]
[crunching sound]
Um, the tempeh bacon is delicious!
Yeah, I scarfed that right down!
Now, the thing about tempeh and soy is
that it often just will take on the
flavors of whatever you're introducing
it to. So I'm going to try the soy cake with some
Thai chili sauce. Excellent! And this
just has a little bit of soy sauce on it.
Excellent! I made a lot of food! [laughs] But i'm
going to eat it all, and very happily so,
because I like all the Tofurky products!
if I didn't like it, i would tell you. All
four products fantastic!
Well done, Tofurky! If you want to send me more coupons
or products to review, I would be
delighted by that. I hope, Scozio, this
was a "cooking video" like you requested.
Have you tried these Tofurky products
or other Tofurky products and what have
you thought about them?
Let me know in the comments below, or if
you have any ideas for other things I could
try out in future vlogs this month,
let me know that in the comments below,
or tell me anything that matters to you,
because I want to know what matters to
you. When I do videos like this, I'm a
little concerned about whether i'm
staying on brand with my ideas of social
awareness but they are all vegan
products, which i think is the way to go
if you have the privilege and the
wherewithal to do so, to make this world
a better place so, that's on brand for me!
That works. Shirt of the day is this one:
it's a BLT! I like to pretend that the B is
a vegan B. And you made it to the end of
my video, thank you so much!
Here is where I always say:
Tomorrow
will be even better!
