It might not look like it now, but in a few hours, it's supposed to start absolutely snowing.
Absolutely snowing? Absolutely snowing. It may not look like it now, but in a few hours,
there's supposed to be a huge snowstorm rolling through here. So we shall see if that happens.
Frost! Heading back to the car because desperately, desperately in need of coffee
and food. Why does my voice have to go up 10 octaves? It's a real pull it out. Ready, set,
honestly, not the worst view to sleep next to. There is where we're going. We're in this
stunning parking lot. Make coffee quickly. What is that? If you're going to be inside,
I'm going to boil. I'm going to do this inside too. It's not that I can't do it outside. It's
that why would I do it outside and be cold when I could just boil my water inside? So
we're doing the easy method. My car is a mess right now and we're just not going to talk about
it. Kind of want ramen. I'm going to go on a hike. Food would be good. When I said make ramen,
I really just meant I just want the noodles. I didn't want the broth. Mostly doing this because
exercise and also really for Athena, if we're being honest. Is that your rock?
Athena's having a great time.
Truly amazing how fast the weather can change. We've only been here like an hour and there's
already so much snow. Oh my god. We are thriving. We are taking a minute to warm up and then I'm
only driving like five minutes away but I'm just trying to clear my car up as much as possible
safety reasons and also there's just going to be more snow so we're clearing as we go.
This is just the snow that fell in the three hours we rode by. It's crazy. The roads are not
doing well so I did not film anything because I feel like safety is more important obviously
than filming. We have made it to our destination though. I'm in a parking lot, grocery store
parking lot. I think I'm gonna sleep here tonight. There just doesn't seem to be a ton of options
here in which to sleep and there's like 10 other vans in this parking lot so I feel like I'm gonna
be okay. We hope so. I just need to take a minute to breathe because driving like that in snow,
I have chains and everything and I know like I'm fine. It's more so other people driving than
myself driving so I'm here. I'm gonna hunker down and I'm staying where I am unless I get kicked out.
That's all the b-roll. It is crazy out there. The wind is whipping. It is crazy. I'm not going
back outside so there's our b-roll. I have to make dinner. I don't have to go outside to turn
my swivel seat around but I'm cooking so I'm gonna like half set this up into a couch. Can you see
me? Hello. My jacket's kind of wet from being outside so we're gonna put something else on.
Add it to my drying rack. Trying to dry my stuff out. Also, I am sad about Cassidy and I want to
know what happened. I just realized apparently this recipe calls for baking soda and I have
baking powder but I also think it calls for self-rising flour and I have regular flour so I
feel like something could happen. I also don't have measurements. Everything's gonna be fine.
Oh that feels so weird. That feels kind of like a dough.
It feels like a cloud. I just kind of want to see if this works to be honest so we're
gonna do a test one. I was gonna do shredded but the uh sliced was on sale. We shall shred
the sliced because the whole concept of it was basically I think like kind of a healthier
cheesy naan bread or whatever because you're using greek yogurt. I just didn't think it was
gonna work. I made like cheese balls. I'm gonna get it nice flat. Put a little sauce on. Some mozzarella
and this hot jalapeno. Obviously in a kitchen this would be going much better. A real kitchen
with a rolling pin. I do. The thing is I have a rolling pin. I would just have to exit my vehicle
to obtain the rolling pin. And we're gonna cover it. Pinch the sides and make like a pizza pocket.
Of course the last one I made is the best. Obligatory cheese pull. So the nice thing about
this dough is because you're making it with I just did greek yogurt, regular flour, a little bit of
baking powder, and a little bit of salt. The greek yogurt has 15 grams of protein. The flour has
another four. That's 19. Plus I used four pieces of cheese which is 20 grams. Almost 40 grams of
protein. I feel like if you care about protein and things like that it is a really good way to get
it in and it tastes good and it's fun. Do a little weather check. The weather is bad still. I'm gonna
lay here in my sleeping bag. Frost was keeping me warm. I'm gonna hang out. Probably go to bed soon.
I'll see you guys in the morning. Look at all that frost. Let's go out this way. You can see why I
opened my door. Time to go. The snow is so- I mean this is this is I think the powder people dream of.
This is such nice snow. So I think I could just drive out of here and then move to a spot that's
already been plowed so I can finish clearing my car off and everything and then also so the plows
can plow where I was parked. Also huge shout out to the plow drivers here. Very talented people.
They got within like six inches of my car and I am very impressed and just grateful for obviously
them doing their jobs and me being able to stay in parking lots like that even though I don't
think I'm allowed to technically. A ton of other people did just because there is no designated
place here in which you can park so Vaughn's parking lot kind of just becomes the parking lot.
So I have the self-tightening chains but this mechanism is broken and it won't actually
self-tighten which is why I have bungee cords but I need more bungee cords because it was pretty
loose driving last night so we are gonna go see if Vaughn's husband going nowhere.
