just talk
[Music]
the less we know
the war we seek
[Music]
these homes would say queuing
the morning means a nice or skin
you so much good morning good morning we
are here we are here in a city in the
Netherlands called Harlem we're here to
explore I'll tell you a little bit later
but as the title of this video would
suggest oh my gosh I have such a rest
morning voice but is that a little video
would suggest this is kind of a what I
eat in a day video and given that we're
about to go on a jog we're gonna snack
on some fruits that mr. Robin here is
preparing
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
pretty full we're gonna pack up the rest
[Music]
there's a cute thing about this place
you go jogging and you find all these
adorable little alleys with all these
greens and all these bikes these cute
little houses
[Music]
we've been jogging around with this
camera which is a little bit clunky but
it was just to show you that we've been
kind of going on these jogs every
morning since we've been here just a few
days now just to get to know the
neighborhood and the reason that we're
in Harlem is because Robins lived in the
Netherlands his whole life and I've
lived here for three and a half years
now and I feel like we've never really
given ourselves a chance to just go and
explore this country a little bit more
so we've gotten an air B&B for about a
week just to get to know this city and
it's just so incredibly beautiful and
kind of just scouted out to to see if
you know maybe one day we want to move
to a place like this but anyway it's
just really nice I think to to get away
from home but while still staying home
you know
[Music]
do you yeah it's upstairs don't need it
I need it no you don't need it that's so
not fair you can't just do that to get
your way
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
and now now you can really we came home
just to grab a few things we're gonna
cut up a mango to bring with us with the
leftover strawberries from breakfast
because we're gonna be heading out for a
while so we're gonna go rent some bikes
right now which is the same card that
you can use to get onto the train and
onto the bus which is super handy the
whole system here is just really set up
to encourage people to cycle so we're
gonna go
I think explore a little bit of the city
and then go to the beach there is a life
Valley City probably in the cab 90 I can
take what I need to get by doesn't make
it easy
yeah the PISA maja so that was like a 25
30 minute bike ride to the beach and
it's getting really hot I really I
really could go for a drinking and
there's apparently a beach bar down here
someone recommended I want to go check
it out me together take me back with a
beer I had feet
be together take me back with happy we
relaxed at the beach for a couple of
hours and we biked back home we took a
different route though this time along
some sand dunes incredibly beautiful but
with all of this activity we also
started to get pretty hungry again so we
usually carry a couple of these bars in
our backpack at least we get really
hungry and we're out kind of in the
middle of nowhere that keeps us going
until we can get to fit this one is just
dates peanuts a bit of salt and that's
it take you back it was really good with
the chocolate ones my favorite show you
what I was wrong tell them how hot it is
today no it's gonna be 32 in an hour I'm
also kind of in the mood for some
kombucha so I got this from the market
the other day when Robin and I went
together and we've already just hydrated
after a bike ride and it's super hot
right now so we've finished this one off
you've filled this one up as well we're
gonna take it with us cuz we're gonna go
grab a bite a chickpea falafel place
super super good we tried it out the
other day but for now I just kind of
want to stay a little bit more hydrated
and have this here kombucha and in case
you're interested we do have a recipe on
the blog on how to make the kombucha and
also all of its health benefits health
health benefits health you tell them
tired who's tired and it's hot
lots of health benefits namely though
mainly it has some probiotics in it
otherwise it's just it's just yummy
tasty yummy drink
[Music]
as a vegan the whole falafel thing can
start to get pretty played but this is
so super good I think it's a little too
fresh toppings that they add and a
complimentary vegan sausages in my
opinion always the best part then you
can just pour on top it's like
comforting and fresh all in one you know
[Music]
so we're headed to a Turkish grocery
store right now we found it the other
day we were just walking through these
alleyways
and they have really cute selection of
fruits and vegetables and different kind
of grains tapenades and olives so we're
gonna pick up some ingredients to make
dinner tonight
[Music]
right now we are going to make dinner
which is gonna be a pesto pasta which is
Robins new special tastes so good every
time he makes it I'm totally in love one
thing you guys might not know is that
Robin wears the pants in a relationship
when it comes to who makes the most
interesting and intriguing meals a lot
of people think it's me
but it's not I get a lot of my
inspiration from him including the meal
I'm going to share with you tonight so I
can't take any credit for it so let's
walk you through step by step how we're
gonna make it technically actually you
kind of have to walk through this
because this is your Edition I don't
know exactly how to make it but I'm
assuming I'm just gonna dice it up yeah
now we're going to pan roast some pine
nuts about a quarter of a cups worth on
like medium low heat just checking it
every so often to make sure that it's
not burnt when it's lightly golden we
can take it off the heat and while
that's cooking we're gonna add these
onions into the pan it's just a little
bit of vegetable oil and while that's
all cooking we're gonna grab about four
cloves of garlic peeling it and then
just finely mincing it and then we're
gonna add this to the red onion stick as
well so now that this is be cooking for
like five minutes on medium heat it's
become slightly translucent and now
we're ready to add the spices to it so
now we're gonna cut up about half of a
chili pepper and we're gonna add this
into it as well and some of the spices
altogether about a teaspoon or so of an
Italian mix half a teaspoon of dried
oregano and about a quarter teaspoon of
dried pepper eeka so we're gonna let
those spices cook for like 30 seconds to
a minute or so in the meantime we're
gonna cut up some sun-dried tomatoes I'm
gonna use half of this jar so about 100
grams or a quarter of a cup I'd say
we're gonna chop it up we're gonna add
it in there cuz the oils are also gonna
help those spices cook in the flavors
meld together really nicely so now we're
gonna cook the pasta just always a
straightforward step we're gonna be
using this chickpea pasta that we found
at the store
use whatever pasta you've got available
and this is about 250 grams worth I
think we're gonna cook all of it in some
boiling salted water until al dente so
we're gonna have some plant-based
proteins in this particular pasta and
it's gonna be coming from the pine nuts
that are going to be in the pesto that
we're gonna add in later the pine nuts
that we just roasted that we're gonna be
out on top the main one is going to be
some lentils ours come from a can so
we'll always always always want to rinse
it and drain it first before
[Music]
I was gonna add these two
he's gonna add a little splash of water
to this so that the the bell pepper can
steal a little bit put the lid on we're
obviously just tag-teaming this I think
it makes it a little bit more fun so now
the pasta is cooked I'm pretty sure so
we're just gonna drain this my golly
it's hot isn't it yeah that's what I
said I can handle it nobody can Kenneth
I got this I worked in a restaurant my
hands are
they've got calluses oh oh oh
nearly perfect Robert and I are debating
about this one I feel like if you don't
want the pasta to stick together you
rinse it under cold water he's saying
add a little bit of olive oil to it I'm
gonna listen to mr. Robin maybe you can
let me know in the comments which one
you do he wins this time I'm gonna just
add a little bit in just a little bit
there we go so good this dish has enough
is that too much your hat you're very
heavy-handed very things this is just
gonna be an oil heavy dish don't do what
I just did at home this is the benefit
of watching these kinds of videos you
don't make the mistakes that we do
behind the scenes look at that not
sticking together maybe you were right
when you out of bucket full of oil
apparently I'm making a whole bunch of
mistakes so I'm tagging you in so these
are two roasted bell peppers from a jar
that we're gonna chop up
[Music]
doesn't rinse these Tomatoes - models
Tomatoes mother just gonna slice these
tomatoes and house they don't want to
have these too early because then they
will just disappear so now we're just
gonna add these two depart loads of
veggies in there hey mm-hmm so I'm also
just gonna add the olives to it this
isn't dinner for just one night no it
seems like it's anthesis for two nights
now we're gonna add this vegan test
intimate we're gonna go for four
tablespoons in total support tablespoons
makes a quarter of a cup then this pesto
is highly recommended by a friend and
she said it's all vegan which we checked
it's olive oil cashews basil sea salt
pine nuts and that's it I haven't tried
this yet oh my god very very good I
think the last thing we need to add to
this is some spinach yeah that's like
two massive handfuls if this even fits
so after just like 30 seconds to a
minute of stirring this in you can see
the spinach starts to wilt really nicely
we're really lucky that in this place
we've got a little patio outside and
even though we're dead smack in the city
centre you hardly be able to tell if and
how quiet it is outside we're gonna
enjoy it out there tonight
[Music]
or this mango orange water juice to
garnish we added some basil lemon wedge
and pine nuts okay this is just the one
so Robin is too shy he I want him to do
the outro just one time it's never as
easy as it looks but just could you
please just amuse me hey guys we hope
