Helllllllo
Morning routine
Brushing my face
Washing my face
Moisturizer
Wearing my warmest sweater
Making the bed
Today's to do list
Unloading my thoughts on a paper
Coffee
Waiting for the coffee to be ready
What's Kourosh up to
I've started writing again in the past couple of months
For this week's assignment, I should writ an epic story for children inspired by other books
Well guys, today I wanna show you one of my favorite spots in Vancouver
it's our hangout guys
Miaplay's hangout and..
Kourosh.. ZZ
This is the first place that I visited when I came to Canada
I mean we went here straight from airport
Now that I think about it I don't know why we went there instead of home
It's Cafe/Bakery/Restaurant called Honey's
What's that gentleman doing?
He blocked our way
That gentleman blocked our way
It's in a really beautiful neighbourhood too
We grab coffee and doughnuts and walk around the area
I don't think that we ever show them that -I'm not still totally awake Mia
If you please let me listen to my morning music and get wake up
that'd be great
Kourosh' morning music
Dude I've got a question
What?
From them
What?
From me or them?
When do you take a shower?
It's better to go at nights
You've been out
working all day getting dirty
OK?
You take a shower then you get in the bed
But if..
You get in the bed all dirty then take a shower at morning, that ain't good
You wanna be clean at nights
You know what I'm saying?
I do, but I think majority of people get showers in the morning -In my opinion people who get showers in the morning
I find that so odd guys
It really helps you to get up
It totally wakes you up
I don't even wash my face in the mornings
I wanna keep my face's natural form
Kourosh stop it!
I'm serious
What do you mean "Stop it"?! -Stoooop
I take showers in the afternoon
Let me tell you why
Because it takes so much time for my hair to get dry
I don't know, it takes a long time for my hair to get dry
If I take shower late at night
my hair stays wet
and I don't like to sleep with wet hair
and If I take shower in the morning
it takes so much time to get my hairs done
That's why I take showers in the afternoon
so my hair gets dry till night
Is it just me or everybody thinks about their most important stuff in the shower
Only you think that much in the shower
I think about the universe and meaning of life in the shower
Why tho?
I turn into Aristotle -Why would you think about that?!
I got another shower question
What's a "Shower question"? -Now that we're on the subject
Look, my question is..
..how many times you can use a towel?
Depends on the towel
I saw someone said
He washes the towel after each time he uses it
If it's one of those squiggly thin towels
it gets all wet and shriveled up
It gets dry tho -But if it's..
..one of those firm sturdy towels
you can use it multiple times
Guys I'm so glad that we have you
These are the type of talks that I have with Mia
I'm glad that you're a part of these rich conversations
We arriveeeeeed
These all are mine
Is that a Cheescone?
I'm freezing but this's is fire -Cheese scone
What's exactly a scone?
It's so cold!
Guys when we first came here
I wasn't into the nature at all
I mean..I..
..didn't like to be in nature
But here makes you to..
Nature is amazing here
You can't do anything else here tbh
You should be crazy if you don't want to be in the nature
since the nature is absolutely beautiful
Are you down to learn skiing and show them this year?
I haven't skied in my life guys
Me neither
But I don't know how things are in this Covid situation
Everybody are going skiing, right?
Don't know, sure
I'm so afraid of.. -I've never skied, looks so scary
..Covid and Omicron and that
We didn't go anywhere this winter
and we chose to come here today because
because it's so quite and it's an open space
you get your coffee and you come outside
But we haven't been in any indoors areas this winter
How cool are those houses
A lot!
It's so awesome to live there.
Imagine waking up to this view
and having one this boats
I keep saying..
..they shouldn't park my boats here
But they keep bringing them
Are these your boats?
Yeah.
Kourosh do you see that?
Seeing a goose ain't that exciting
JooJoo [Some weird creature or something]
It's not a goose it's a JooJoo
This is the most beautiful place in the world
I mean it
This is the most beautiful place in the world
Why you look like this?!
I would've enjoyed here as much as you if I wasn't freezing
Why don't you wear proper clothes... -I don't know how you're not freezing?!
..after being here for 2 years Kourosh?
You didn't even put on a hat
Goofball
Since Kourosh doesn't drink coffee or tea at all
Kourosh doesn't like warm drinks like this at all
This coffee's keeping me really warm now
but you don't..
Guys for real this place's awesome for torturing someone
If you wanted to torture yourself, you can come here in winter
I can't believe this
You just wanted to stay home and watch car pics on Instagram
Guys it's a different world here at 7 am
Let's get outta here, I'm freezing
What are you saying?!
I'm freezing!
Waiiiiiiit
We're going to cook Ghormeh Sabzi for the first time
Guys today we're going to cook world's most delicious food, Ghormeh Sabzi [Ghormeh sabzi is an Iranian herb stew]
Ghormeh sabzi's delicious, but it's not in my top 10 favorite foods
Because you're an idiot
Gheimeh is higher in my list
Fesenjoon's higher [Persian sweet and sour stew made with walnuts, pomegranate paste, and meat]
Fesenjoon's higher. [Persian sweet and sour stew made with walnuts, pomegranate paste, and meat]
When you did that, Ghormeh sabzi's smell hit me like a truck
We got this from an Iranian supermarket
Iranian supermarkets are the only places that when I'm in there, I feel like I'm back in Iran
You're the dishwasher today
Capish?
WHAAAAAAAAT?
You will wash the dishes
WHAAAAAAAAT?
and I'm the chef
You don't know how to
Once when I was a kid I cooked Ghormeh sabzi with my mom, I know what to do
You even burn eggs Mia
I didn't burn eggs
I just dropped an egg on the stove instead of the pan
I wanna show how good I am from the start
Do you have any idea to how cook Ghormeh sabzi? -I wanna show that I'm the chef
and you're like my 10th sous chef
I don't eat Ghormeh sabzi here that much, that's why I crave it so much
I mean we get Gheimeh and stuff from Persian restaurants once in a while
We get Gheimeh but we don't eat restaurant’s Ghormeh sabzi
I doubt our Ghormeh sabzi'll be edible
Dude! It'll be so delicious!
You're so picky!
Show them this thing
that I just got
Guys I've told you that this year will be the year that Kourosh builds his body
Buff Kourosh
I got this protein powder
But I don't know if it's good or not
If you're know your way around proteins let me know in the comments
Buff Kourosh' year
Yeah
I..You don't remember that..
I said it in our previous video
Awesome
Boy I love this so much
What's this?
Herbs
I know
It's Leek and..
Coriander and.. -I have no idea what's the mix
Parsley and..
Spinach and..
Fenugreek! -It really has spinach in it?
Fenugreek
Fenugreek!
Foods usually smoke like this?
Can you see this smoke in the camera?
You can clearly see it with camera
Guys I don't normally cook Iranian foods
I've made Gheimeh and Adas polo [Adas polo is a dish made of basmati rice, lentils, caramelized onion, raisins and minced meat]
Your Gheimeh and Adas polo are delicious
I also made Loobia polo [a Persian mixed rice dish made with long grain rice, ground meat and green beans]
and now we'll see if you can make Ghormeh sabzi as well as them or not
Guys I think I showed you my Pars Khazar rice cooker before
in one of my old videos or a Ig story
And a lot of were keep asking me that
How did I get this in Vancouver?
They sell it here
It'll be Great if Pars Khazar wants to be our sponsor
Or we'll be in contacts with other brands
I got this here
A lot of you were asking
Some of you even were saying that
You're lying!
You're in Iran!
"Just because of the pars Khazar you're in Iran"
They sell this here guys
You can find lots of Iranian products here
And I'm so happy to have this
Do you think we can make Tahdig? [Tahdig is a thin crust of slightly browned rice at the bottom of the cooking pot]
100% I can make Tahdig, what do you mean?
Either it burned or it's just supposed to be dark
No it's dark and it smells amazing
Really?
Are you happy with it? It's not burnt at all
It smells great
Can I just eat it like this?
I don't think anyone does that
Well guys
I don't know if I've explained the proper onion cutting technique before
I don't remember
First you cut the onion in half
Cut the onion in half
Then you divide it to three parts
One slice... -Parts?
Yeah
One slice here Mia
You should try to keep it straight
One slice a bit higher
and one at the top Mia, Ok?
It's 3 cuts but 4 parts
Ok
Then you start slicing it vertically
That's so obvious
So you knew that?
Now horizontally
Look how it ends up..
beautiful
and
finely diced
It's so beautiful
Let's see how you do it
As you can see
I didn't cry at all guys
You're going to do my technique then
That's the way to chop an onion
You didn't knew this before
No way you knew about this before
Be careful with your fingers please
Guys look
Mia's cutting with an angle now
One of her cuts was lower and one was higher
That's the first thing that I told you not to do
This way some of your onions will be so much bigger
But it's fine
Would you please don't mix your onions..
..with mine.
My onions are so fine and cute
But your onions are grumpy
But I learned you a good technique, right?
I knew this technique
it wasn't anything special!
Is it true that they say...
I mean I know that it's true but
I really wanna go and read to be sure that Ghormeh sabzi is from 2500 years ago
I mean they decided to mix these herbs and meat and beans 2500 years ago!
Are you serious?
Yeah it's an ancient food
Have you ever read "Persians and I" ? [A mythical and epic fantasy series by Arman Arian]
I feel that you're full of it
That's not a proof or evidence for it to be true
Isn't that a novel?
Yeah but maybe he's done some research
But other than that, I've heard this before
Ghormeh sabzi is from 2500 years ago
We're adding the herbs
I think we're at this level
Are we supposed to do that at this level Mia?
Based on what I've read, It's in another level
On which level?
It said you should pour water in the pot
And?
5-6 glasses of water
Then what?
Then you put on the lid and after that add the herbs
But you were so confidence that I thought you knew what to do
Why didn't you tell me this earlier?
I did, you didn't listen!
Did we put enough herbs?
Can they even see it?
Let me turn on the light so they can see
Guys who made Ghormeh sabzi before, are we doing it right?
It looks like Ghormeh sabzi tho -Awesome
It looks like Ghormeh sabzi
We've put enough herbs Kourosh
In my head wasn't
It's enough, looks great
I didn't look past this level
Can you tell what should we do next?
Now we should watch a recipe on Youtube
I don't know anything past this
At this level we're going to add boiling water
Who's she?
What's her name?
Cooking with...
Cooking with Mahla
Bravo
We let it cook for at least two hours so the meat and beans are done
2 HOURS!
I'M HUNGARY DUDE!
MAHLA I'M HUNGARY
Mahla do you understand that?
I can't wait 2 hours Mahla!
We should puncture the dried limes
Dude I can't wait two hours
We seriously should wait two hours?
legit?
Do you think 4 of them is enough or 5?
4 is enough
Shouldn't we stir it stor it or something? -I don't think 4 is a lot
I wanna stor it for sure
Look at it
We'll practice playing while the Ghormeh sabzi's cooking
What are the chords?
I wanna sing the guy's parts
Wait wait
Can we play sad version of the "mohre mar" Mia?
How should I supposed to play Mohre mar? -Make it sad
Just play something I know the lyrics
Go go
Make it sad
*To show my respect to the artist I won't translate the lyrics*
*You can look it up at 'Genius.com/saeedasayesh' if you want*
Why Kourosh, why?
Ok ok ok
I feel our Ghormeh sabzi's all messed up
Forget about the Ghormeh sabzi, we should get a pizza
or get McDonald's or something tonight
I'll practice
I'll practice more
Mia when I played this, they called it elevator song
Enjoy
Enjoy Kourosh' cooking
Awesome!
You're welcome
What if the Tahdig's all messed up
I'll get minor depression
What if it's burnt at the bottom
Are you ready?
Go go go
In front of them for the first time
Did you hear that
You can call that a Tahdig -Awesome
Yea it looks great
Smells kinda funny tho
I'm ok with our rice
Why the Tahdig's not thicker?
Awesome!!!
It looks ok but why the meat got shredded in it? *Because they were chopped into small pieces*
I want 90% of the Tahdig
It's not my fault guys if it's not good
Sorry
At school I always had these with my lunch
They were not like this, they were big proper bell peppers
And?
Then
I had them and the whole class smelled like bell peppers
And everyone hated me for it -Bell peppers don't smell that much
OK, test it and tell me how it is?
Great
For real?
Hold on
In my opinion it's as good as it can be for the first try
Not bad
Guys.. -It's really really delicious
Really
I wish you were here so we could eat together
But it's better that you're not, It's not that good
It's really delicious Kourosh!
Guys Imma go have..
I want my mum
I'm Mia, thank you for watching
