The Jason Show: Saving money on Thanksgiving side dishes. New names in the battle for Bond

Okay, are you one of those people that needs to, how early do you need to get to the airport, Leo, when you travel? Two hours. Jeff? Hour and a half. Okay. 30 minutes. Why don't we start the show? When we sit down at the desk, I will tell you when we left our hotel to get to the airport yesterday. You ready? Get a diaper ready. Leo, tell yourself to roll the open. Roll the open. Here we go. Let's make it a good day. Monday. Welcome to the show everybody. Okay, first up today, catch that corgi. The Carolina Panthers, look at this everybody. The Carolina Panthers had a corgi race at halftime at their game yesterday, but one of the dogs, yeah, one of the dogs went rogue. Check her out. Yeah, that's right. That little fluff ball took off, eluding. Yeah, look at that. eluding the handlers and running the field, no one could catch the pup at first. Eventually, eventually the dog was nabbed and the Panthers immediately offered him a contract. That's right. Thank you very much. Can we sign him for the Vikings? Yeah, just saying. Anyway, I'm acting like I'm talking sports, like I know what I'm doing. Anyway, next. Yeah, next. Many of us love eating onion dip and chips, right? Onion dip while watching the sports. Okay. Falun, how about watching something called the Onion Bowl? Yeah, the CEO of the satirical online newspaper, The Onion, is proposing just that. Listen to this. It's their way of sponsoring a college football, a football bowl game on ESPN, but not a traditional, not a traditional game. Instead, it would feature... Two of the worst teams in the country playing in a game full of gags. Full of gags, that's right. And first, it would last nine quarters instead of four. Okay. And for fans that don't care about football, sponsors would play the entirety of Jurassic Park on the Stadium Jumbotron. I'd watch. That's right. They'd play Jurassic Park on the Jumbotron for people who don't care about football, which by quarter seven will be everyone in that stadium. That's right. Yeah. The Onion hopes to raise enough money to hold the game in January, January 2nd to be exact, in Texas. Well, today on the show, not so fast with the James Bond casting rumors. Wait till you hear this. And Stephanie Hansen is back with three insensitive, not insensitive, inexplicable. I had a lot of tequila this weekend, that's right. Not insensitive, inexpensive Thanksgiving side dishes. Ladies and gentlemen, she's insensitive and inexpensive. It's Falun, everybody. You're neither of those things. Hello, beautiful. How you doing? Okay, so we have to know. We have so many things to tell you. We are so excited to be on the air today. Okay. Airport timing. This is going to... I said this on the radio show, and all of you out there in TV land, if you are one of the people that like to get to the airport three hours early, I'm going to make you sick. You are going to have to go to the bathroom because you're not going to believe. So we were in Florida this weekend doing a little work with pleasure, and we were at Walt Disney World, obviously, and we like, Colin and I like to push it. We are there a lot, so we know traffic flows in Orlando. We know how to navigate the airport, MCO. We're also, we have clear and we have TSA pre-check, just so everybody knows, and we did carry-on luggage, okay? Are you ready? Yeah. We pushed it last night like we have never pushed it before. The boarding time for our plane, and this is no exaggeration, I remember this because I knew I would be telling you guys. Boarding time for our aircraft was 5.54 p.m. Okay. Falun, what time did I just say? 5.54. Would you like to know what time we left in the Uber from our hotel? 5.08. No! And the airport is a ways away from like actual Orlando. It's like 30 minutes away. It's like a 35-minute ride from where we were to MCO. I was oddly, this was Colin's idea, I was oddly not stressed. Okay. But I got to tell you. We walked in, we went through security, we got to the gate, we waited maybe two minutes and boarded the airplane immediately. That's perfect. And it was, I got to tell you, it was fabulous. Well, then I, but then Colin said, you, you're young and hip. There's a whole TikTok trend of people leaving seven minutes. Yeah. Arriving seven minutes before their boarding time or their plane. That would never happen. I could not do that. This was as far as I could possibly push it. I, as someone who's almost genuinely missed a flight before, I would never want that feeling ever again. And also, Jake would never let me. Jake makes me get to the airport earlier than I would. I'm like a Jeff. I'm good with, like, 90 minutes, like, leaving my house. Like, so I get there an hour before my flight leaves. But... So this would freak you out. I would be stressed the whole time. I would be, you would not want to be around me. I would be so snippy. I would be so mean. I would be, it'd be bad. Colin said I was actually, because I'm usually the nervous one. He like, I was actually fine. And the fact that we walked up and then, you know. Once it works out, then yeah. Yeah, Valerie behind the desk was like, we're now boarding. I'm like, jackpot. I'm like, this is perfect. So, no, it was great. Okay. Okay. You have a story? I do. So my, okay, so my stepson left at 5 a.m. this morning. He graduated this past year, so he's going off. He's not going to college. He's going to work at a ski resort. So he's going to Telluride, Colorado, and he's doing a road trip out there. So it's dorm-style living. So he's been excited for this. You don't know who your roommate's going to be. So he, they give you, like, a questionnaire because they want to place you with someone. And so it was like, do you, like, drink and smoke? And he put no on that because he, like, He doesn't smoke and he doesn't really drink, I don't think, but if he does, he doesn't want to party. That's not the vibe he's going for. And then he put in there, they ask special requirements, and then I think the only thing he put in is he'd love to have someone his own age. So we finally got his assignment yesterday. And the information comes in and it says, celebrate with us. His roommate's name is Nico. Nico's 25th season with the ski resort, which means his roommate is like a probably 50-year-old man. So, so Dylan. He's my age. So Dylan was like... We are dying. We're crying. So Dylan asked, he's there year-round, this guy. He's like, will you send a photo of the room? I'm like, curious what it looks like. And the guy texts a photo, and the first thing we notice is his CPAP machine. What do you mean? The only thing I asked for is someone my age, and now I'm going to be next to a guy with a CPAP. And these are like traditional dorms where the beds are next to, they're like by each other. They're not individual rooms. It's like one space in twin beds and Dylan is next to a 50-year-old man with a CPAP machine. And we have been laughing. I think he can probably, if it doesn't work out, request someone else. But like we keep trying to spin it like, no, this is great. You'll have the guy that knows everything. He knows everyone and like he'll be like, I know well. Yeah, I was going to say, he can buy you drinks, I guess. I don't know. So, anyway. Oh, poor Dylan. But he did take off today, which is he'll be gone for six months, so he won't be here for the holidays or anything. So, very emotional morning for the family and Jake and everything. So, yeah. That was hard. But he's like, I'll be back in six months. And I'm like, maybe sooner. I don't know. Maybe Nico will push it out. Yeah, I mean, oh, that is, that'll be a life story for him. It will. Forever. You have a vision. You know what I mean? Yeah. Like, how your, like, experience is gonna be. And I just imagine if I was teamed up with, like, a 50-year-old woman for my freshman year of college. It would have been unexpected. Like, you know what I mean? Yeah. So... My... We have an announcement. I know. But really quick. My friend Michelle had all... To me, that beats it. Had the best... Roommate story. Michelle, my, Mish, one of my high school five was a year older, so she went to college first. Anyway, I remember as a high school senior going to visit Michelle. So I never met roommates. I didn't know anything about this. So I walk in and I'll never forget this. Michelle, I walk into Michelle's dorm room and I'm like, oh, this is so cool. And Michelle goes, this is my roommate. And I don't remember what her name is, but her side of the room, she had nothing but really weird nature pictures on her wall. Meanwhile, Michelle had like the cure and, you know, and like reality and Winona Ryder pictures. And then Michelle goes, I'll make up a name. Amy, would you like to go with us to Applebee's? And Amy looks at me specifically and she goes, no, we have studying to do. And I'm like, why are you speaking in plural? And then later on, we came back. We came back after Applebee's. And Michelle goes, would you like to go with us? We're going to go hang out outside. And she goes, no. We're just going to sit in here and study. And I'm like, as we. You don't see the other person, Jason? Nope. All right. Okay. Hey, a big news to share about tomorrow's show. Joining us in studio is Backstreet Boy, AJ McLean. He'll be here. Yeah. He's on tour across the country right now. His sold-out tour is called A.J. McLean Presents Alexander James, The Better Man Tour. A.J. will join us live ahead of his gig in Minneapolis, where we shoot our show tomorrow night. A.J. will also be on your show, Falun, Colt, and Jenny and Company on KDWB. Yeah, he'll be with us at like 8 a.m., and then he's driving over here to do our show at 10. So, yeah, busy day. I'm excited. Yeah, if you are a Backstreet Boys fan or... What about this combo? We have a Backstreet Boy in studio tomorrow and the Laundry Guy. So if you're a fan of either, you can get tickets right now at eventbrite.com or the Eventbrite app. We're going to take a break. The hot dish when we return. Back in a moment. Coming up next, just when we thought the James Bond producers had it narrowed down, two new guys join the competition. Then. Just when we thought we were done with Stranger Things, we're getting a prequel show? We'll have all the details. And they're the best part of Thanksgiving dinner to me, the side dishes. Stephanie Hansen from TasteBuzz is here to help you out with the sides when The Jason Show continues. Okay. Okay. Da da da da da da Before we get to the hot dish, Colin texted me something that I know we're all worried about here on the staff. Now, let me pull back the curtain a little bit. Again, as I announced, we have a Backstreet Boy on the show tomorrow, A.J. McLean. And here's what we're worried about. You know, you out there in TV land, you know that our crew, they're part of the show. Everybody knows photographer Eric. Everybody knows executive producer Jeff. Now, I'm going to change her name, but here's who I'm worried about tomorrow. And I'm not going to use her real name because I don't want to embarrass her. But Laurie Fisher is, yeah. Now, Lori Fisher, that's not really her name, but Lori Fisher is an executive producer in our building here. She works at News. And whenever she, we have a star in the building, she is on them like Velcro shoes in the 80s. She's on them, she's on them like mayo and chicken salad. And we have to, people have had restraining orders on her. And so I told Lori today and she about passed out. So I'm all, Ryan in security, prepare yourself because it's going to, she's going to scare the hell out of AJ. I'm just preparing. Eric and Lori's moms. Tom's in the audience today, that's right, yeah, yeah, that's really not her name, that's not her name. Let's get started, everybody, it's time for the hot dish, roll it, Leo, here we go. Oh, Lori Fisher. First up. Not so fast. Uh, what? Just when we thought the list for the next James Bond was down to a few names. Remember, we've been telling you this. New contenders just popped up over the weekend. Last week, I told you about a report that said that this guy right here, Calum Turner, was the pick, the dude, the martini drinker. He was going to be the next 007. And that news came after so-called final auditions in London. Well. Now, two more famous faces just entered the conversation. Robert Pattinson and Nicholas Holt. Now look, and we're hearing this not from a trash rag. This is according to Deadline.com and Variety. Both of them auditioned recently for the director of the next James Bond movie. Our Pat is currently playing Batman. And Holt is best known as bad guy Lex Luthor in the new Superman franchise. So, I don't know. Out of these two, I'd rather have Nicholas. Mm-hmm. No! Yeah, I thought that was interesting, excuse me, I feel like I'm a huge Robert Pattinson fan. I like him. But the thing I was saying today on our morning show, I was like kind of joking. I'm like, he does not have off-screen charisma and like that confidence. That's what I actually like about him is he's like so like he's very self-deprecating. Seems like he has low self-esteem. I don't know. Like he just is. That's kind of what's charming about him. But that to me does not give James Bond. I realize it's acting so he can, you know, act that way. But I was like, I just don't envision him as that. And I also I'm like, can they not find anyone else for any other movies? I mean, does he have to be Batman and James? James Bond, like, can't you find some different people for something? It's like Ryan Seacrest. Can you give some jobs to other people? I know. Wow. It's true. Do I have to host everything? You know what I mean? Yeah, exactly. I'm just saying. I know. And I like, I love Nicholas Holt. I, there's a great movie. It didn't do that well at the box office, but the movie, when he was a kid, called About a Boy, with Nicholas, young Nicholas Holt and Hugh Grant, if you've never, and Tony Collette, if you've never seen it, it's a great movie. It's my son's, one of his favorite movies. We watched it together many, many, many times. Anyway, I love Nicholas Holt. There's a whole lot of those I wouldn't mind, but Give it to one of the, give it to Callum Turner. Yeah, one of the other guys are less, they're known, but they're lesser known. I think it's a better choice, yeah. Next, surprise appearance on Late Night last night. It's been two months since Ariana Grande took a step back from her very public life following the end of her music tour and the Wicked Press tour. During those concerts, many fans raised concerns about Ariana's health, saying she appeared dangerously skinny. Their words, not mine. I don't like to talk about women's bodies. Well, last night, though, Ariana Grande returned to the spotlight on a special edition of The Tonight Show, joining Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro to promote their new movie, a third of the sequel of the Meet the Parents franchise. And Ariana Grande talked about the first time she met Ben Stiller. I met Ben in a very different way. He was directing me in an orgy scene in Zoolander 2 with a hippo and Susan Sarandon. Is that right? Wow, that is a beautiful story. Yeah, so right off the bat, we had a well, a comfortability connection. Yeah. Yeah. Is that what you could? Yeah. It was an orgy scene with Susan Sarandon. And a baby hippo. There you go. There you go. It's fantastic. Which sounds like two truths and a lie. No, but it's real. It's my reality. It actually is real. Ariana actually met De Niro for the first time at the Tonight Show 11 years ago. Their new movie comes out in two weeks. I would say the official title, but executive producer Jeff is afraid instead of saying one word, I'll say a bad word. And you know what that word is. So I'm not going to stress Jeff out. Dude's had two hours of sleep. So we're going to leave it there. I've had some friends see it, like the advanced screening, but I forgot to ask anyone. I don't know if anyone thinks it's good or not. Same thing. I'm like, I'm curious. I had a friend of the screening, too, and I didn't go. I've heard very little buzz about it. This is the first time I've seen anybody on press tour about it. Yeah, they've been doing a little bit of this. I feel like I see Ariana is still, I don't know, I feel like she's very present on social media. So I still see her all the time. She has a new boyfriend. It's an old boyfriend. Oh, it's an old boyfriend? But it's a new boyfriend again, yeah. Oh, like a... Got back together. She wrote... She talked about him in her song, Thank U, Next. Wrote some songs about Ricky. Well, they're back together. Oh. So that's who she's with, yeah. Oh, he's like... He's a BB, a boomerang boyfriend. Exactly. Yes, he came back around. He came back around. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's exactly the perfect title for it. Again, lack of sleep and tequila. Anyway, next on the dish, big streaming news to start the week. Less than a year after it ended its run on Netflix, Stranger Things is back. Sort of. Netflix just announced a spinoff and released, this isn't a joke, released a trailer. Look at this. We only have, like, 80 years to wait for it. Anyway, Other Worlds is a prequel to Stranger Things taking place in Nevada in the year, as you saw, in 1955. And also, again, we're going to have to wait until 2028 to see it. But if you... My feeling is if you saw Stranger Things on Broadway, which I loved, it's closing, sadly. This is probably connected to that. Maybe it's the screen version of that story. Okay, that's what I was going to ask. It has to be, if it's not, that's not that much before, so it feels like it would be the Winona's character younger, right? Yes, it's all, I mean, if this, and they haven't said it, if it is following the Broadway show, which does show younger Winona Ryder, younger everybody, the beginning of, you know, whatever caused the Demogorgons and the upside down. That follows the Broadway show, which, again, just throwing out there, I'm sad that it's closing. It was really, really good. I wonder why. Too expensive, not enough ticket sales, you know. But it was. Yeah, because you said it was so good. It was great. The special effects scared the crap out of me. Anyway, yeah. Next, it's a movie we've heard about for years. First, it was happening. Then not. Then maybe again. Julia Gardner was cast, remember, to play Madonna in a movie about her life. This was about, we heard about this like four years ago. Then the movie got put on hold over budget disagreements with Madonna. They considered a series, but would need to go to buy the script back from the movie studio. Now Julia Gardner is talking about the role, telling CBS Sunday Mornings that she actually hopes it still happens. Is that movie going to get made, do you think? I don't know, every hour changes in a way. It's not really up to you either, so. It's not up to me. Yeah. I would love for the movie to get made obviously, but I also feel whatever happens, I made I have a great friend. I love Madonna. I think she's incredible. She works. Like, she taught me properly, like, how to work. I read that there was a pretty serious audition process. Yeah, that's what I mean by work. It's going to work. What were you asked to do in the audition? Sing, dance, act as her. I... I know it would take buying the script back and blah, blah, blah. But if I'm them, I voiced this concern. I voiced this concern with... Why are we playing Madonna? Tuna! Commercial break isn't up yet, Jeff. Yeah. Anyway, if I'm the studio, I'm going to do a series. I don't do a movie. Madonna's life is so big and in chunks. Do a great ongoing series and take different eras of Madonna's life season by season. You know what I mean? Yeah. And just, I mean, Julia is such the perfect choice for that role. I hope they, I really hope they do it. First of all, I know Julia hopes she does because she knows she'd be up for every award possible probably. But it would just be a great story because, I mean, Madonna has a great story. She does. All the eras. I mean, I've lived through all of them. The beginnings and how she became, how she was discovered. Then you move on to the Like a Virgin era. And then you move on to Blonde Ambition and the Cone Boobies. And you know what I mean? And then the sex book. And, you know, which I never owned, I swear. But, nope. Thank you for laughing at that. Yeah, right. Yeah. I got cut on the Madonna sex book. My friend Anne... No, my... TMI. My friend Anne owned it, and the damn thing was metal. Do you remember? Have you ever seen it? No, never seen it. Yeah, the cover is metal, and I went to open it, and I cut my palm on it. Oh, jeez. Yeah. That was Jesus. Yeah, anyway. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! I think you're right. That was Jesus sending me a lesson. That's right. More of this when we return back in a moment. Oh, my God. Follow us on social, Falun on Air, Jason Matheson, and of course, the Jason Show accounts, Jason Show TV. More dish for you, as Mariah Carey told us a few weeks ago, it's time, yes, it's time for Christmas music and Christmas decorations, and one of the biggest music stars on the planet is coming after Mariah's crown. Olivia Rodrigo just released her first Christmas song ever, featuring some famous faces in the video. Look, it's a little bit of it, a little bit of it. It's called Take Me Home for Christmas. It came out late last week. Saturday Night Live's Ben Marshall plays her boyfriend, bringing Olivia home to his mother, played by Cynthia Nixon from Gilded Age and Sex and the City. I need to listen to it. I'm not going to render judgment. I need to listen to it more. That little bit there, I like it. It's fun. It's upbeat. It sounds like wrapping paper, like a lot. It is not though. The actual writer of that song came out, said there is no plagiarism at all. Like they actually went to meet Olivia Rodrigo. She like, it's a big fan. Um, but then he's like, there's just the notes for notes. They don't, it's, there's no plagiarism, but, um, No, it will not be replacing Mariah Carey. It will be so hard to replace a Mariah Carey. I don't know who could ever do it, but that is not it. And it's not that it's a bad song. It's just not it. You know, the modern, I have two modern-ish Christmas albums that are just, I want to say fire, but I know the kids don't say that anymore, but yeah, anyway, but are just my favorite. Kelly Clarkson's newest one, she released it a few years ago. That one is fantastic. Christmas Isn't Cancelled But You Are or whatever, that's my favorite. And then Michael Bublé's Christmas albums are fantastic. Those are on repeat at my house. Sticking with music, some call it one of the biggest diss tracks of the early 2000s. Remember this? Yes. That is Justin Timberlake's What Goes Around Comes Around from 2006. Scarlett Johansson played her blonde girlfriend, his blonde girlfriend in the video, which everyone at the time believed was a dig at JT's ex, Britney Spears. Well now, 20 years later, Justin claims that is not the case. He sat down for an interview with the music and pop culture website Complex and explained who the song is actually about. Maybe I should dispel a rumor at this point, which has gone around forever, which is like, it's not a personal story from mine. It's actually a personal story from a friend's that I asked permission to use as inspiration. Funny enough, like I asked, I was like, he was just going through it and he was telling me what had happened. And I said, do you mind if I write about this? And I quote, my friend said, yeah, torch that. What goes around comes around. Justin said he hung up the phone and wrote the song in about 20 minutes. minutes. Yeah, now the Cry Me a River, he did not deny that being about Britney. So I think that one, yeah, and maybe he's telling the truth. Maybe the Cry Me a River was Britney. What goes around was about his friend's experience. This is, Justin is really, he's promoting some stuff because he's got that new four-part docu-series coming out. He's doing this interview. I've seen a bunch of clips from this. I think it's like Complex Magazine he did it. It's very interesting how he wrote a lot of his songs. He has a great story with Michael Jackson where the first time Last time Michael called him, he thought it was with someone pranking him and like cussed him out because it's like when they say like Prince would call someone and you're like you this is not really Prince or not really Michael Jackson you hang up on him um and the huge NSYNC song Gone he had written for Michael and Michael passed on it and then NSYNC did it it was a huge hit for them and then Michael called him and was like I want to do that song with me and you and he's like it's already out. And he's like, I still want to do it with me and you. He's like, no, it's an NSYNC song. I can't do it with you, Michael. He's like, let's do that song together. Justin's like, no, we're not doing that song together. How many times do I have to tell you no? He's like, it was so weird. Like, I didn't want to say no to Michael Jackson. But a lot of songs that were Justin's first huge songs were for Michael. That he passed on that went to Justin. And then Justin ended up doing that song posthumously from Michael Jackson's library that was unreleased. Yeah, that's going to do it for The Dish. When we come back, the one, the only Stephanie Hansen. We'll be right back to the show or back to the show. Show's already started. The calendar isn't lying, friends. Thanksgiving is just two weeks away, and if you're starting to freak out about what to make, help is here. Joining me is the host of Taste Buds with her insensitive side dishes. It's Stephanie Hansen, everyone. Hello, Hansen. Jason, that was the funniest thing ever. Insensitive side dishes. Because my family, if they're watching, they're probably like... Oh yeah, three insensitive side dishes. That's her. Can I give you a compliment? Yeah. That this smells so good today. So Falun and I were backstage and I said, Oh, Falcon, I have a new cologne on and I know that she'll be honest with me. So I'm like... I can already smell it. I said, will you smell me and tell me, is it horrible? And she goes, I can't smell anything over Stephanie Hansen's insensitive side dishes. My caramelized onions. It smells so good. You smell good though. Do you like it? Yeah. Okay, thank you. That is one of the, you know, it smells like my favorite true hue candle, which maybe doesn't sound hot, but it's good. I don't know if I want to smell like a candle, Hanson, but we'll explore that later. I like it. So is that mac and cheese? Okay. We are, today we're making things that are inexpensive because if you've been to the store, the food prices are just like, so I was like, okay, if you're, you're going to spend all your money pretty much on the bird and the wine, let's face it. Yeah. Yeah. So. I was like, okay, what kind of sides can we make that are a little special still but are also inexpensive? I love that. We're starting with Ellie's mac and cheese, which the secret ingredient that stretches it and makes it go a little longer is evaporated milk. In the mac and cheese. Yeah, it makes it creamy. Now, this one I might have left in the oven while I showered. Thank you. So, and it's also, I cooked it an hour ago. I like an almost burnt, I like a burnt top. So, it's very custardy now because I left it in the oven a little longer. But if you were to eat this fresh, it has like a creaminess to it. It has a cheese pull to it. It's got evaporated milk and then also cheese that you grate. All in with the buttermilk, because that's the other secret ingredient instead of heavy cream. It keeps it much richer and chewier, I guess, is the way. Okay, but let's go through the recipe. So it is how many different types of cheeses? Well, you can use as many as you want. The recipe has three. No, two. Cheddar and it has mozzarella. But I use... Mozzarella? Yeah. I used hot pepper jack cheese in here because that's what I had. Okay. And you could also add, like, other cheeses if you're fancier and you want to add a little cream cheese, you could. Okay. It's very forgiving. But something like this is going to give you a side for, like, 12 people. And it's going to be less than $15 to make it. For the whole thing? Yes. So it's the cheeses, your cheese of choice, obviously the noodles, seasoning of choice, and the key for the Ellie's mac and cheese is the evaporated milk. That's correct. A can? A can. This, I made a double recipe, and also buttermilk. Okay, and buttermilk. Which you wouldn't think that that would make a difference. I make a version of Patti LaBelle's mac and cheese. She uses buttermilk, too. And she uses buttermilk, too. Velveeta, which, girl, put chunks of Velveeta, which, again, is economical. Yes, it is. You can get a chunk of Velveeta the size of Bjorn for, like, five bucks, so, you know. It's a little more than that now, but it is cheaper than non-processed cheese. Oh. It tastes really good. I can taste the buttermilk, which is good. I put the hot pepper cheese in there, too. Oh, a little kick for it. Yeah, because I had some leftover, so I was like, that's mozzarella-ish. That'll work. Okay, so we have that. Now, again, all recipes will be on stephaniesdish.com. Why am I looking at a pot of peas? Okay, so peas are kind of traditional on the Thanksgiving table, right? I got two bags of peas for $4. So, what I wanted to do is make them fancy. So, I caramelized a couple of shallots. Okay. And I just caramelized them in butter. They've been cooking. You might have to keep eating. No, no. I didn't have breakfast this morning. This is really good, Hanson. They've been cooking for about 45 minutes. And so, they're real brown, real caramelized. And it's just a way to amp up a simple... Vegetable to make it feel like it's something, right? Yeah. But still inexpensive. So we just put a little bit of garlic in here. We've got caramelized shallots. We would let that go just a minute to cook off the garlic bitterness. And then we're going to mix that with our peas. And that's it? Yeah. But it gives the peas a little richness. Also, you could put a tablespoon of butter in here if you felt like you wanted to. Oh, of course. Because everybody likes peas. Thank you, audience. I mean, what do you think? We are animals. Of course we're going to add butter to that. Yeah. This is going to be vegan. It's going to be vegetarian. If you felt like you wanted to get a little more luxurious, you could caramelize some prosciutto. In the oven at like 450 and make it crispy and sprinkle it over the top. Do you know, I've never, I've never had peas for Thanksgiving. Really? Yeah. I always have peas and I think the reason is Kurt loves them, but also they're the best when you're making a chicken pot pie or turkey pot pie with the leftovers. Yeah. That's a good idea. Yeah. Because you just use this with your leftover carrots. I think the only time I ever have peas is when it's in my house, special fried rice. Oh. special fried rice. Do you put kimchi in yours? I don't. Executive producer Jeff gets very angry when I discuss house fried rice. He doesn't think that I should be eating fried rice with all the proteins. He thinks they should be separate. There shouldn't be shrimp where there's chicken. No, you got to mix it all in there with a big pile of kimchi, little fish sauce, little rice vinegar, little soy. We're not done. I'm just going to make a recipe right now. We're not done. We're going to do some Brussels sprouts when we come back. Back in a moment, everyone. Find TasteBuzz on the Fox Local app. Before we move on, let me just really compliment you because you know if I don't like something, I just go like this. Yes. The audience saw me. I continued to eat in the commercial break. That buttermilk, that's a great, that and the evaporated milk. What a great tip on that one. A good combo. Yeah. Okay, I see Brussels. Okay, brussel sprouts are very inexpensive, and maybe it's because people don't love them, but I do love them. I love brussel sprouts. I love them roasted. Yes. So do you know how to, like, trim them, where you cut the ends off? Nope. Okay, so we're just going to cut off this sort of dead end. Then you cut them in half or in quarters, depending on how big they are. See, I've already learned something. I would never know to cut the butt off them. Yeah. Yeah, it's just kind of a dead... I would have always left the butt. I would never have cut the, I would never would have cut it off. Why do you do that? Because it's, it's dead and it's chewy and it's brown and it doesn't look very nice. Well, you explained that perfectly. Yeah. Okay. Dead, chewy and brown. So you cut off the butt and then you split it in half. Yes. And the thing about Brussels sprouts is for the Thanksgiving meal, it's very inexpensive. You get a lot for an inexpensive price. I got this whole bag for, I think, $4.50. Okay. But then you also can roast them in advance. So I did these this morning. And all I have to do is just put them in the oven quickly before we serve them. Or you could even serve them at room temperature. Yeah. So we're going to make just a little glaze. Oh. That's going to go on them. So I'm just going to make it in this little pan here that I have because it was already a little heated. I love it. We're just going to put like a tablespoon of mustard. Grey Poupon? Yeah. But of course. Yes. Yes. Some balsamic. Only the people that laughed at that are my age or older. Thank you. Kids have no idea about the Grey Poupon commercials. It's fine. It's fine. Okay, anyway, so I'm sorry. I was talking to the audience. A little balsamic. So Grey Poupon, balsamic, what else? You have two options here. Okay. You could do a fig jam that people buy this and they eat it with cheese. Well, you don't like fig jam, so we're moving on. No, go ahead. No, it's good. I got another plan B. I'm B. I'm, yeah. Just jam. Uhh... Okay. So you could use like an apricot jam. You could use an orange marmalade. And you're just making a glaze with, you could use whatever jam you have in your house. Okay. So the idea being, again, it's inexpensive. You don't have to buy a bunch of new things. You already have all the things. And you're just going to make a glaze. If you wanted to be a little richer, you could add some butter. Okay. But you wouldn't have to. And you're just going to toss all of your Brussels sprouts with this glaze. And just toss them around. Yeah. You could, okay, now butter, again, I know I love that we're doing this, and I love that you're doing the economical side dishes. We can get some pretty cheap butter. I think we should add butter to this. And so does the audience. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Butter is on sale right now for $3.99, typically a pound. But by the time you put these back in the oven and they kind of caramelize in that like five minutes of heating them up, because you could eat them just like this and throw like a handful of cranberry, dried cranberries on there or nuts if you wanted to. But if you threw this in the oven, they're going to get crispy and a little glossy. We're going to finish them with a little parsley and that's it. You have an inexpensive side. I have some Ask Hansen, Hansen Hat questions. Your opinion, we're going to try to stump you here. Just throw out the top of your head. You ready? Okay. In your opinion. How many side dishes should you have with a meal, with Thanksgiving? How many side dishes do you, Stephanie Hansen, think Mary Q. Public and John Q. Public should have on their Thanksgiving meal? Assuming eight or more people, four. Two starch, two veg. Okay. If you have, like, 12 people, I would say go three and two. Three and two? Maybe two starch, three veg. Okay. Tips on keeping side dishes warm while the rest of the meal finishes. Yeah, your crock pot's amazing. Also your instant pot. Or just having like, if you, I have a drawer that I forget that I have that keeps things hot. Or just turn the oven off. You fancy girl. Turn the oven off, take your turkey out, because it needs to rest anyway. And then you put your sides in and just leave. Everything in there. Oh! All at once. All of it. So turn it off. Get that bird out. Yep. Turn the oven off and then throw everything else. Put it in there. Just close the door. The temperature's dropping. It's not going to overly cook. And you now need to make your gravy or hopefully you've made it in advance because that's the number one hack to save your life is to make your gravy in advance. You've said that many. Make it the day before. Make it the week before. Make it two weeks before. Make it now! You just roast up turkey parts. And you add a little stock to that, your flour. You take your pieces turkey out, kind of make your roux. And then you make that whole stock with the same fat that you would for a turkey. You just use the parts. And then it's all done. And all you have to do is heat it up. And then right before serving, you can put a little more of your fresh turkey juices in. Give it a zhuzh, zhuzh, zhuzh, and you're done. And now we're done. We're done. Give it up for Stephanie Hansen, everybody. Taste buds. Oh, you smell really good. All the recipes at stephaniesdish.com. Go to the Fox Local app and search for Taste Buds.
