hey YouTube world it's me Evelyn we're having breakfast tacos
so you either get with it or get out okay here go my little raggedy mise en place this one's fresh off
the stove got another one heating up over there got some refried beans over there
add some egg nope wrong order ugh add cheese next so the beans melt the cheese
then some egg I'm gonna put the bacon and then I just
this right here the way like New Yorkers
you know like bacon egg and cheese I love me a good breakfast sandwich but
tortilla something about a tortilla just hit me in my shondo
tortillas are from HEB my grocery store
um I grew up in north Texas which means I shopped at Walmart and Kroger and it wasn't until
(crying)
it wasn't until I was 18. and set off on my own and moved down to Austin about three hours
south and experienced oh God
and experienced the blessing that is HEB we just thank him
Hallelujah
let me tortilla real quick
and this is just the bare minimum of a breakfast taco
you'll never guess what I'm singing in my head
type it in the comments and I'ma tell you the answer
once I flip this tortilla
no guesses
♫ We lift our hands in the sanctuary ♫
♫ We lift our hands to give you the glory ♫
Is it "we lift our hands"?
♫ and we will praise you for the rest of our days ♫
♫ yeahhhh ♫
♫ YES! ♫
I have orange juice I'm not really a fan of like straight up orange juice but something
about the saltiness of a breakfast taco and the acid acidity acidity uh
of the oranges obviously in the orange juice so I'm explaining this to you it hits
I'm gonna be classy and use the airbnb's
glasses
this is a reminder if you haven't eaten and you're a little bit hungry go ahead
get you some food none of that forgetting to eat
one thing about it couldn't be me
blood sugar all over the place feeling my stomach back to front
cheers
kinda wanna go straight into taco number two but I guess we should chat a little bit today is
a Thursday therapy Thursdays I'm trying to get a little bit of work done before therapy and
the work I have to get done is editing episode four of Evelyn and Friends the interview which
is about pandemic parenting I interviewed my two friends Amanda and Tova who had children during
the pandemic pregnant in the beginning of 2020. the only problem I should never have interviewed
two people for one episode that's entirely too much footage we struggled for days in this house
trying to trying to narrow it down to about 15 minutes where right now we're at 30 something
minutes and I need to take us home I need to take us home stick you know what I'm saying
you can tell I didn't really run track
I ran cross country but I was forced to run cross country and I got 26th place every time
I'm not that kind of Kenyan. I'm a different kind of Kenyan.
we're farmers
if you need a yam I have you
but if you need an Olympic gold medal I don't have you
anyway what was I talking about um
I shouldn't have interviewed two people it's quite tough
to get an interview segment to make sense bouncing between two people
but we're gonna make it work and I'm really excited about it
that's the last if I can do that today
that is the last major editing related thing when it comes to season one of Evelyn and Friends
our goal we've been in this Airbnb like I said maybe in a previous video this month for a month
we're on week four we've gotten so much work done our goal was in this house to do the video editing
stuff like taking all the clips and making them a show right now every episode is giving 30 minutes
episode five is a little longer because we have a musical guest I don't know if I'm authorized
to say when the show's coming out because I'm just I'm traumatized by myself
every time I say something it doesn't it doesn't happen so
what's the opposite of manifesting
and it's just a passion project I really need to get a job it's what I'm trying to say
this is not my this
you don't care you don't need to know
that's why we need co-workers that's why we need co-workers
let's go ahead and get this second um breakfast taco underway
got the refried beans this never gets old
so this is season one it's five episodes it's gonna happen it's gonna release every Friday Evelyn & Friends Fridays
so I wanted to make it myself first to see like what it would take
and it takes a lot even though this is like a a bare bones version
of my idea and even that took a lot and then I would love to I need to start that now I would
love to produce a Leo season special so just one episode that is Leo season themed and that would
come out in probably August I can't hit them July Leos that's just we don't have the time
and then I would love to have a Kwanzaa special in December I would love to have a Kwanza special and
then we'll figure out season two next year we'll see we'll see all this is because y'all know that
I've wanted to be a screenwriter but the more and more I think about it the more I'm like
Why try?
I think I latched on to being a screenwriter because when I was a child this didn't exist
so I couldn't dream of it and also looking at the news and just thinking about the writers strike and
it's just like why am I trying so hard to be a part of something that even the people inside
are struggling to be a part of I'm gonna just make Evelyn and friends I'm in a cold email Keke Palmer
and see about her key TV network and we're just gonna like continue to build a life
cheers to that
anyway I'm gonna finish my breakfast breakfast taco
and I will see y'all on the internet somewhere AKA in a couple days
so bye
