We HAVE To Tell You This! (This is Embarrassing)

so for some reason since moving into this new place i've been going to bed a lot later and waking up later lucy is the opposite she's been going to bed a little bit earlier i'm waking up a little bit earlier so today i was lying in bed i woke up to a text message from lucy from the next room literally meters away she said what ramen do you want it's like what i was tired i was blurry-eyed i was why talking about ramen are we having ramen for breakfast she'll just tell me what you want so i told her i want and lo and behold this arrived this is a do it yourself at home from our favorite does it say on here this is from mendocoro basically oh yeah here a home kit for quarantine so we're going to cook that up in a bit welcome to a new vlog you join us on a very very rainy afternoon it's very rainy let me show you quickly oh there is your weather check for today so i've got the long sleeves on and we're relaxing we're chilling hope you guys are all doing well so we haven't actually had ramen for a long time but this is one of lucy's pregnancy cravings now she will talk to you in this vlog about some other pregnancy cravings that she's been having and is having but ramen is one thing she has been craving for weeks now and our favorite place to get ramen wasn't accepting pregnant customers for dining during these times but we have been able to order one of their home kits so we're gonna see how that goes cooking it up ourselves see if it's as good as the restaurant i mean it might be i don't know it's all the same ingredients the price was the same but lucy's cravings have been changing throughout the pregnancy she's in her second trimester now the first would you say loose that the lisa's over here by the way editing up a vlog would you say that the first trimester cravings were different to the second trimester well i'd say that no but i'd say that i now would want to eat more different things because the first trimester everything made me feel sick yeah that was it you really thought of everything i was like there was a lot you couldn't eat in the first trimester rather than things that you were craving exactly that was the way around it wasn't like oh i need this i just wanted plain and simple food like white rice and bread and cheese and that kind of stuff but now you're having a few more cravings yes sorry including ramen okay sorry i'm really stressed out you're very busy and delivery for something lucy's in her office right now and i'm like that you're interrupting me i'm the intern interrupting box like what do i do next can i um can you give me some can you give me some feedback on my work can you help me quickly yeah sure okay so let's have a look what's in the box it's very nicely packaged i mean i figured that they'd charge less because you have to cook it yourself but they charge me the same and add service so that's probably why it looks so beautiful but it looks very nice in these little packages it looks like wood it's so fancy with a little bit of string and we both went to the shoyu ram and we often both get super chashu but it's heavy it's a lot of that meat it's um what is it pork is it pork belly i think so we decided to chill out a little bit and just get this one um slide it off here let's have a look i don't know how much i actually have to do to make this how much work it is okay so cute it's so nice so we've got a little instruction manual it's so nice it's like the nicest takeout ever there's four steps i can do four steps fine uh show you and it gives you the ingredients please consume immediately no problem uh so we've got the actual broth just here this is so funny it's all individual the noodles the meat and actually all the other little ingredients in there can you see just in there we've got all of the like bamboo shoots and some sesame seeds some green onions and then i'm not sure what this is a brown thing it actually looks a lot smaller than when you get it in the store but anyway we've got two bowls here we haven't actually got ramen spoons so they come with it no they just give you chopsticks we're gonna have to just use soup spoons because that is all we have um so step number one empty soup from packet and add oh you add water good i was thinking that's not enough soup for me i need more than that empty soup from packet and add three quarters of a cup of water bring to a rolling boil rolling boil never heard that boil water separately and cook the noodles for one minute and 30 seconds i'm gonna have to do these both separately aren't i george that's annoying unless i've combined it but i don't want to mess up the quantities and make it taste bad okay i'll make yours first as always okay so i've got the broth going here this is just melting down a little bit as it heats up got some water here ready for the noodles i need to pop these in for a minute and a half i need to put this and this into boiling water for 30 seconds and then assemble not too bad [Music] so [Applause] [Applause] yeah so adding some chili oil just a little bit for me not too much i'm very sensitive okay and do you want soy sauce or do you want skinny sauce yeah a little bit soy sauce the good stuff if we're doing it let's do it properly a little bit oh nice this looks great this looks like what you get in the restaurant well the only thing is it's all mushed together it's good the ingredient thingy is almost together so i couldn't like place it like they usually do yeah this is cool and then a little bit of did you put sesame in there no do you want sesame a little bit yeah hopefully do that but fair enough sesame oil nice here we have chopsticks here we have our ramen your ramen mine's still in there oh yeah you gotta it is that what it comes in that's so cool okay there you go no way all right thank you so much good luck eating it with this spoon i'll do my best i can't believe that we're having this at home this is like usually a big special event when we go to this restaurant because it gets so busy and we don't go very often so it's quite whenever we go it's a it's an event okay let's try this broth yeah it is steaming oh so good loose it tastes better but maybe because i haven't had it for a while oh man oh it tastes somehow it's a rainy day i feel like ramen is a bit of a rainy day meal reminds us of japan trips in the past okay having some noodles so good and this pork has been soaking in the broth how do they flavor the pork like that salty oh man this is delicious not cheap for two people this was 1200 pesos which is nearly 20 pounds so like 10 pound each so this is not cheap ramen at all i remember in japan we went to a really local place and we had ramen that was really cheap and really good it was quite simple and basic but delicious remember luce and it was a real local place so the menus weren't in english there were no tourists in there lucy and i'd rock up and try and order this ramen but it's so good okay giving it a go finally oh so good it does taste a tiny bit different but i don't know why it tastes maybe a tiny bit more watery i thought that slightly less rich but that's probably a good thing because it's so rich normally that you feel so ill afterwards slightly less creamy yeah it tastes a bit more japanese um such a nice flavor i always add so much soy sauce to it though i don't know for it actually the soy sauce we've got is a less salt soy sauce so that's gotta be a good thing then some noodles here with the garlic black garlic oil hmm the packet said to only cook the noodles for a minute and a half but you can see why they're like kind of al dente like they are when you cook them there so good pregnancy update quickly my belly button has started to stick out a bit and i just got george to feel it and he freaked out it's like i don't like it it is weird and i don't blame him um so yeah craving wise i said about a few bits about this on my instagram a few weeks ago and it's been an interesting one to me so i'll try and do a little recap of the like phases i've gone through so i'd say initially the first f in week five when we first found out i didn't have any cravings i didn't feel sick by any foods and overall i just thought this is like me of short hair what do you think would it suit me yeah overall i didn't feel much different i was just kind of annoyed at the fact that i couldn't eat certain cheeses and there was a few foods i kind of started to miss so then week six came along and that's when i started to actually feel sick but i really felt like some red meat so steak uh spaghetti bolognese with minced meat um like ragu pasta burgers that kind of thing obviously it all has to be cooked well done and which is absolutely fine and i just like that kind of like garlicky meaty flavor um then it kind of moved and i started and then and at that time i was trying to get loads of um vegetables and fruits in through juices and shakes and i was putting loads of ginger into the juices and i think because i put so much ginger in them something happened like a week later and i just like since then cannot stand the taste of ginger and literally if gin if i have like a lump of ginger in my food or i have a juice and i can taste ginger in it you know that strong kind of burning flavor i usually love i just kind of go and i don't feel good at all i have to like spit it out or stop drinking it or whatever so it's definitely been changing a lot um what else have i had weird cravings of i feel like there's been quite a few strange ones i've been eating quite late at night compared to normal sometimes now it's like 10 p.m and i'll make some soup and have some sorry my phone is going really loud i'll make some soup and have some like bread with butter but the old me would kind of stop eating at like 7 30 or 8. so it's like kind of rare but i just kind of go with it now i really love cheese i really love pickled onions and like mustard mustard is something that i love right now i'm having mustard on everything like dijon mustard american mustard any mustard it's that kind of like gherkins and like the real vinegary things vinegar is something that i'm really liking as well and when i had that jar of pickled onions not only was i eating the onions but i was also drinking the vinegar on its own which is really weird like that is weird imagine that's like not a normal thing to do it's like getting a jar of gherkins and drinking the liquid not normal uh but there we go that's what i enjoyed i feel like i've heard weirder cravings i've heard things where people like mix really sweet and really savory things i haven't had that yet but there's still time but overall it's just been like fancying a lot of um british food and like home-cooked food my mum's cooking our parents cooking british fish and chips pie and mash bangers and mash so sausage and match with like caramelized onion gravy a typical pub lunch and kind of like deli kind of sandwiches that you might get from a cafe in england not much sweet stuff i've not really craved sweet i've never been like i need sweet sweet all i've fancied sweet wise would be gummy sweets like sour sweets or fruit but i haven't really craved chocolate or cake or biscuits or anything like that which i guess is a good thing because if i was craving chocolate that probably wouldn't go down too well um and i haven't had many sour sweets but i just if if i could if i knew that eating sour sweets was somehow healthy i know it's not but if it was healthy i'd have eaten a lot more i just know that i shouldn't because it's not healthy so i'm trying to be the best than that but if they were if they were somehow healthy i'd be eating gummy sweets every single day i think i just love sweets they're just so good and i like i think it's the whole sour thing that makes sense because like gummy sweets and mustard and vinegar that's both like um that kind of kind of flavor here that makes your tongue go funny and makes your lips kind of suck in so maybe that's maybe that's the hack i'm craving sour vinegar's not sour what's vinegar yeah it's sour right and would you say vinegar sour vinegar what is sour or what bitter no it's not bitter sour i don't know if it is it's not sweet though sour okay so yeah i think that's the conclusion anyway i think we're going to watch a movie now or something and it's gotten dark it's not evening it's 7 p.m i think yep and that ramen we had at like three or four o'clock but but i think that's me done for the night unless maybe later i'll have some fruit or something it's just heavy that is a heavy meal and i actually ate george's leftovers as well so i've got a big appetite at the moment you guys seen this yet i think you have electronic light switches pretty cool it is that time of day again when we sit down and we put a film on quite repetitive i have to say quite repetitive um these lock down days but there seems to be a lot to do right i only watch one film i mean it's been really busy we have been busy somehow there's always dishes to do so i guess i'll be doing that later which is thrilling well the thing is george you must quite understand that every single time you wash up a dish it's because i've cooked you a meal you have to understand that it's a very fair trade if anything it takes me a lot longer to cook the dip the food that's in the dish then it takes eat it and wash it up and let me tell you this nine times out of ten it's worth it okay i'm joking ten times out of ten it's worth it it's always worth it um last night we watched law abiding citizen and we did this really weird thing we couldn't remember if we'd seen it before we both thought we'd seen it before we were watching the film like we kind of remember this we kind of don't and we got all the way to the end and we still couldn't quite figure out if we'd watched it before because or if we just had like deja vu because maybe maybe it wasn't in the background or yeah we watched like a trailer or i don't know anyway had um what's the guy's name tom lowry yeah we think he looks like tom what's his name i can't remember the actor's name butler gerard butler doesn't he look like tom let's try and do a little side-by-side thing here okay so keep the recommendations coming because we do need to
