- Hi guys, I'm testing out YouTube Live.
This is so much fun.
So I wanted to check in with you to let you know
that I will be live on Sunday
for my first Bake With Me series.
So I'm not going to be posting a video on Saturday,
but I will be here on Sunday.
And I wanted to let you guys know where the recipe was
so if you wanted to bake with me, it could be super fun.
So it'll be at 10 o'clock in the morning on Sunday,
and this is to benefit, Give Essential,
which is a fantastic charity
that is benefiting essential workers
that really need our help right now.
So I hope you will join me.
You can get the recipe at entertainingwithbeth.com,
and it's on my home page.
It's the orange crumb muffins,
so that's what we will be making.
So if you want to go buy all of the ingredients,
now's a good time to do that.
So I don't actually know how,
okay, look, now you're gonna see my funky reading glasses.
I wanted to set this up so that I could answer comments,
so somebody leave me a comment,
somebody nice (laughs).
And I'll see if this will work.
So it looks like there's 16 of you guys here.
Hello, anybody out there?
I don't actually know where the comments appear.
Let's see.
Oh my gosh, this is too funny.
It's a good thing I tested this beforehand.
The other thing I want to test,
let me know what you guys think,
is how to actually do the cooking.
'Cause how can you see?
I guess if I'm like this, stirring,
I have my huge desktop on my kitchen counter (laughs),
because I've gotta do this myself.
I don't have any helpers on Sunday to help me shoot,
so maybe if I go like this.
Oh my gosh, this is reminding me of like
when I did live cooking classes and I had my big mirror
so I guess this will be like my big mirror, right?
Okay, and then I'll have to back it up a bit.
I could go like this and stir and do and all that.
(bowl clangs)
Anyway, we will figure it out.
I hope you guys join me.
These muffins are fantastic.
They are these orange pecan crumb muffins.
They taste like those little coffee cakes
that you sometimes see at the gas station.
I know it sounds like a weird thing to say.
Do you guys remember those?
They were so good.
They're still good,
but without all the preservatives.
So you can make 'em from scratch.
So 10:00 AM, get your coffee on,
preheat your ovens, get ready to go,
and we will have a fun time.
All right, I still don't know how to answer the comments,
so if you guys are leaving me comments,
I don't know where to see them.
This is so weird.
It lets me leave a comment.
Okay, wait, let's figure this out.
Come on you guys, haven't you done Lives?
Don't you know?
Could someone tell me?
You might all be telling me.
A pop out chat, is it that?
Aha.
Here we go.
That's how you do it.
Hi everybody, okay, all right.
Now I know.
Yes, picture in picture,
I wish I knew how to do that.
I'm gonna do baby steps (laughs)
until I figure out how to do this.
Okay, oh, hi Jack, how are you?
How are you doing?
How are those tomatoes?
God, those look good.
I had a horrible tomato season this year.
I can't even tell you, it's so depressing.
It's like my garden just gave up on me this year.
I don't know.
We have other things to worry about, I guess,
but that was a bummer.
Okay, call for the girls.
Yes, the girls want to be in it.
Can't you just imagine?
Okay.
No, the oranges are not from my own tree,
not yet anyway,
but they are in bloom,
and they're all green right now.
I should have put it on my Instagram Stories.
That's what I'll do.
I'll send you a picture, Instagram Stories.
I'm gonna have an amazing citrus crop this year.
I've got satsumas,
those little mandarins that you can peel in like one peel.
I've got blood oranges.
I've got cara cara that are growing,
but this muffin was developed when I did have oranges.
But they're not here yet.
They usually come around December.
We usually get 'em around Christmas time,
so not yet.
Okay, let's see.
Oh my gosh, 1:20,
I hope not 1:20 in the morning.
Oh my gosh, Dugan, am I pronouncing that right?
Where are you?
Are you in Scandinavia?
Wow, that's late.
All right, well, get to bed.
Come see me on Sunday morning.
Be probably Sunday afternoon.
Oh, these comments are so much fun.
I love this, oh.
Yes, I used to grow kumquats.
They totally grow here.
I couldn't get anybody to eat them.
No one liked them.
I had two really sweet little kumquat topiaries.
I topiaried them,
and I kept trying to sell it to my kids like,
"Look, it's kind of like an orange but it's reversed,"
because they're really sweet on the outside
but then bitter on the inside.
And nobody could get past the bitterness,
so anyway, we got rid of the kumquat trees.
But my crew used to love 'em.
I had a guy who used to shoot all my videos,
and he loved the kumquat trees,
so I would always give him a handful.
He would take them home.
All right, this is so much fun.
Aw, hi eight-year-old, Addy?
Addy, oh, that's so cute.
I have an eight-year-old too.
Actually, she's nine.
She just turned nine.
But it's fun when we watch YouTubers together.
My girls, they really,
well, my older one is sort of growing out of it.
She's more into like the beauty gurus and all that,
but my youngest one, she loves Rosanna Pansino.
And we like to watch those together,
and it's always fun
when you can find things you two can see together, right?
All right.
Hi, oh, Elk Grove, California, hi.
Yeah, more videos from the gardens.
Yeah, I wish my garden looked better.
It is such a literal hot mess out there right now.
It's such a mess and I don't know why,
I was home all summer.
We didn't go to France this year,
so I can't even have that as an excuse.
I think the water got so expensive this year
we just got killed.
If you knew what the water bill was,
you guys would just be shocked.
And I think it's because it was so hot.
I kept watering, watering, and that was not a good idea.
So I just kinda let it go for now.
Okay, oh yeah, do you like my sweater?
Thank you, I wasn't so sure about this.
My daughters make fun of it.
They say it looks like a superhero costume (laughs).
I thought it was kinda cute.
I don't know.
I don't know if I like it or not, but.
I got it at J.Crew.
Okay, oh, nice, 17-year-old.
Nice, cooking class.
Hi, I'm so glad you found me too.
Yes, aw, you guys are so sweet.
When I had my youngest child, I was 36,
which was pretty much like really old.
In fact, I even had a doctor tell me
it was a geriatric pregnancy (scoffs).
I'm like, gosh, thanks.
And then I had my second at 41,
so it's never too late.
They keep me young.
I think it's why I'm so full of energy,
but I also know why people have kids really young now.
It takes a ton of energy,
so I kind of wish I didn't wait too late.
But coulda, shoulda, woulda.
I also think it's good because my husband and I,
we got to travel a lot.
We got to do a lot of the things
that we wouldn't been able to do had we had kids earlier,
so we were married for six years
before we actually had kids.
And I think things work out for a reason that way,
so that's how that went.
All right, yes, could you please DM me
with some livestream tips?
That would be totally awesome.
Jack, I love that.
That's so great.
Hi Anna, oh, thanks for following me for all these years.
Thanks for the support.
That's so great.
Awesome, okay.
Oh, Happy Birthday Sarah.
Happy Birthday to you.
All right you guys.
Well now I think I got it.
I know how this works.
I've got it all set up.
It's just the cooking.
I'm not really sure how this is gonna work,
but if you're patient,
and you just kinda can see,
kind of we go like this,
and I'll hold things up to the camera.
I promise the recipe is delicious,
so head on over to entertainingwithbeth.com.
You can print it out.
You can also get it in the description of this video.
I pasted it in there, so hopefully that shows up.
I know how to see your comments now,
so I think I'm all set up.
All right you guys, thanks for checking in.
I will see you on Sunday,
Sunday morning, 10:00 AM Pacific Standard Time, LA time.
All right, have a good weekend you guys.
Bye (blowing kisses).
Okay, how do I turn it off (laughs)?
This is hilarious.
Okay, wait a minute, there's gotta be a way.
Did that do it?
Yes, that did it.
I figured it out, bye.
