First oh sh I already started I already did this but we’re going to start we’re going to do this from start to finish this is my first episode Segment of me cooking so I just tidied up now I’m going to clean the Cod and yeah so so I got this Cod from Kroger’s let’s clean the Cod real [Applause] quick fishy All right so I don’t know if I showed it earlier but fish is like stinky so I’m going to always be washing my hands so that’s that all right so let me grab this here and okay I think I don’t even I think I’m going to be eating past 8:00

Honestly it’s already 6:31 okay so she says season and flour the cod filet then s it in olive oil for 2 minutes per side and remove it remove and set it aside okay let’s get the flour why am I doing this on a Tuesday night I don’t know I feel like I

Here I need more room man I can’t I wish I could show this better like I’m not showing it yall can’t even see me all right like now you guys look crooked hold on okay all right so I guess the best way to do it is I can’t like

Talk and show cuz I need my phone my phone could have been the other thing like filming okay anyways this is my first time doing this maybe another time we’ll have another a better way to do it but so we’re going to put the flower on here

And then we’re going to season It season it but she didn’t put she didn’t say says then olive oil press side blah blah blah blah when do you add the seasoned lemon juice seasoning garlic paste and capers blah blah blah blah gentle Skillet blah blah blah blah blah blah

Blah season this black pepper recording blah blah blah blah hello I mean I know how to cook so I’m just going to assume like we’re going to put the seasoning in the flour and then cook the Cod and I have this weird Haitian urge to put a

Piece in this cuz I’m just like there’s no a piece and my aunt my cousin sent me my aunt’s apiece like I didn’t have to make try to make the apiece recipe and it’s so good if you if you guys are not Haitian apiece is um a Haitian seasoning that

All haian use when they’re cooking is literally the staple to our um food and I have this Asian urge to put it in to marinate my cod with it we’re going to follow the recipe for one in our lives na ne for one time in our lives we’re going to try to follow

The recipe if it ain’t good just know it’s because it doesn’t have a piece in it okay I’m just going to put the what I’m going to do is she doesn’t say what seasoning you put in the flour so I’m just going to assume that you put the

Cajun seasoning in the flour and you put the lemon pepper seasoning in the Flour W So we just got done all let me just take it like this so we just got done breading the Cod so now I have the oil in the pan here heating up I don’t know if you guys could see that well so I have that heating up for

Going to make it like this cuz I don’t think you guys can see it well okay So all right I know I said I’m on a diet and I’m over here cooking it with I’m over here cooking it with flour that’s because that’s the only thing I had if I had like a better flour type like a corn or like not a corn but

Like coconut or some some type of like plant-based flour I would have gotten that all right so we just placed that this one is so big this like this is so huge I feel like I shouldn’t have wasted that I should have cook made something else with that okay Girl all I think that was just 2 minutes ooh that’s how it looked in the video that’s how it looked in her video oh that side is not that okay got that golden brown to it so I’m going to I’m going to recook this side it doesn’t look like this the

Breading that’s was that fried so Woo Okay so that was the first batch it looks it looks good what do you guys think it’s nice and golden brown it’s not burnt I usually like my stuff more like more golden than this but I think this is pretty good that’s how she had

It and I saw her in her video oh this thing is going so I need I’m just putting this second one here in here I was F it it’s not sizzling that’s because I put it on a lower level so all right okay I can’t wait to see how this come

Out I hope it’s good I hope I like it it’s 6:49 I don’t think I am not y’all I don’t think oh sorry I don’t think I’m going to be done I don’t think I’m going to be done by I didn’t put the pepper in the seasoning we’re going to just we’re

Going to put this in there I don’t think I’m going to be done by why am I pouring it in this now I don’t think I’m going to be done by 6 7:30 it’s already 6:49 should I cook more potatoes I mean Tomatoes let’s do that while this is frying let’s cut more

Tomatoes Jesus and maybe cut oh I got to throw this flour away I don’t need it anymore crap I like to clean as I who likes to clean as they cook I love to clean as I cook so I’m like oh my gosh I need to clean this

Now cuz I hate I hate having a dirty kitchen it’s like my that’s one of my biggest pet peeve is having a dirty kitchen or coming home to a dirty kitchen that’s just like the worst feeling ever okay I’m going to flip I don’t know if it’s already been 2 minutes but I’m

Going to flip this I think this is what do you guys think is this is enough tomato for one girl I think I’m allergic to tomatoes anyways cuz it’s not good with my skin so got to relax on that okay we’re going to flip this

I’ve I feel like I haven’t eaten cot in a while nor have I cooked it I’ve never cooked it but I feel like I haven’t eaten it in a while so I just I feel like I don’t know how the texture is so I’m a little bit is this are you guys

Crooked are you guys crooked okay you guys were were crooked okay sorry sorry all Right I really wish I had a better kitchen that way it can like be easier cuz like the way my island is set up it’s very tricky so it’s like you have this and then you have this part here so it’s just like very it’s very very tricky

So it’s best to put you guys on the top part so you guys can see everything but then when I’m doing something down here there’s like no room to put you guys so you guys could see as I’m doing it like like see a whole view yeah it’s

Hard but one a day hopefully I’m not sure if I’m going to continue this lease but next year so but if I don’t hopefully we get like an apartment with a better a better Island I think I just burnt this one nope okay so I’m going to cook this one

A little bit longer cuz I don’t know if you guys could tell this one is a little bit more it has a lot more water and it’s a little bit more chunkier than the others so I’m like okay sorry y’all going to be moving around so many different ways doing this

I wish I had someone like showing but yeah I’m going to let this cook for a little bit longer because it’s a lot more chunkier than the other pairs of cod I don’t want to eat it if it’s not like fully cooked I like my food well

Well done I don’t care if it’s seafood or whatever it is it needs to be thoroughly thoroughly cooked and that’s what you guys are going to get with these Vlogs like you guys are going to have a very good warm well cooked meals fully cooked meat like

I’m I’m never going to try red meat it’s just it’s not going to happen but I can’t wait to see how this turn I can’t wait to see how this turned out cuz I know I I know I did a cooking Vlog before and like but I didn’t show

It in depth as as this or did I any did I I probably Did okay so that’s done oh we got to do the onions got to do the onions dude I feel like I was so tired like I got to say before I started this Vlog I I was feeling so tired and like like I was ready for bed

But okay sorry guys the video just automatically stopped I think I was recording way too long but yeah as I was saying yeah I was so tired earlier and now like I feel like I’m talking to people people I mean I am talking to people but it’s just I just feel a lot

More a weird random energy today like I worked oo hold on okay got to flip that again okay so I worked from I not work from home but I worked from the I worked in the office today but I had to leave early because I had a doctor’s

Appointment and I don’t know if you noticed but I had to draw some blood but yeah and then one thing about being in Texas it’s it’s not even just Texas just me in general as I hate to drive um well hate is a strong word I detest

Driving and driving for a long time and I was even I was even stuck in traffic for that long for that long but driving for like 30 minutes to 40 minutes wors me out and right after that I went to Hope food to get a little bit more ingredients for this

Recipe and I originally wasn’t going to film okay let okay so I origin I originally wasn’t going to film and then something just got on me to like just film it and and then all of a sudden I was just like you know what I’mma make this my first cooking

Series my first cooking series all right so that’s done we just cooked the Cod the next thing is okay so two minutes per side blah blah blah sauté shallots and tomatoes in the same skillet add oh I don’t want to use that Skillet we’re not using that Skillet I

Don’t want to use that Skillet okay let’s try this we’re going to use this pan I’m not using the skillet or or the that pan we’re going to use this pan it’s fresh and I think she I think she probably wanted us to use that because of the seasoning

From the the Cod but I scraped all of that off anyway so I’m just going to focus okay I’m just going to put it put the stuff that I scraped off of that pan and put it in there so the first thing I’m going to we’re going to do

Is she wants us to to sauté the shallots and the tomatoes I do not have shallot but I have the red onions that I didn’t peel it would have been nice if I peeled it and I’m going to make it fast so I’m just going to cut it right

Here I’m just going to cut it to the side right here just to make our lives quick and easy and pretty much like would you guys say the red onions The Red Onion are basically part of like the shallot family yeah Yeah Oh Okay it’s it’s all done all righty I can’t wait to eat this so what I’m going to say is I did put a little bit too much lemon juice so if you guys try this recipe be careful on the lemon juice cuz I wasn’t sure how much to put

And it doesn’t say in the recipe but just be careful how much lemon juice you put but other than that this is not the flavor I’m used to I’m more used to like you know more a little bit more and a little bit more it’s just it’s just different I I

Would you have to say it’s a very lemony very very citrusy I haven’t eaten cod in a long time I’ve only and I’m only telling you guys this is my first time taking a bite I’m only saying what I I tasted the sauce while I was

Cooking so let’s try it and eat it with some potatoes mhm mhm definitely definitely the flavors blend really well um the potato flavor and tomatoes yeah it’s good it’s good mhm Mhm so what was going to say is if you’re someone that like like a citrusy lemony taste this is definitely the recipe for you granted I used old based seasoning and her recipe called for um Cajun seasoning I’m pretty sure they’re the same thing but if they’re not make

Sure you find the seasoning that says Cajun seasoning other than that I feel like this was really good the only thing and this is my fault I put a little bit too much lemon in it but overall it is good I cooked this I’m pretty sure I cooked

The Cod for a pretty long time mhm so if you’re someone that likes fish try Cod it was it’s really good I like it I’m pairing um this dinner tonight with this poppy probiotic soda so it is pretty good it has literally 5 g of sugar 7 G of carbs overall 25

Calories which is good so okay all righty well I’m going to finish eating this thank you all for watching watching please you guys suggest any recipes that you guys find so I can try it I’m going to keep looking I love to eat I’m a big foodie

And I love to cook so definitely throw your suggestions out there and I will love to try um these recipes B Appetit Bye
