    I just love how supportive Ham is. It says a lot about my expectations for men in general, but he doesn't bulldoze Sohla's ideas or 'take charge' like a lot of men do - he listens and responds and expands on her suggestions, and I just love it so much. They seem like such an awesome couple.

      @@plaguednecrothe person you're replying to comments shit about Sohla constantly on this channel, sometimes about her and Ham as well. there's no rhyme or reason to it, unless you count racism, xenophobia, misogyny/sexism.
      edit: I'm brown! and not a cis man! among many other marginalisations. I'm in a fatigue flareup right now and do not have the spoons to explain in detail why I think the above, but you can go through the user's many comments and see them for yourself. they speak on her and her previous workplaces, one of which was BA which she left due to racism and xenophobia in the workplace, which intersected with misogyny/sexism in her and many others' cases. it's not "bringing race into it". good grief!

    That these guys can throw together an entrée, main dish, side salad, dessert AND a cocktail in one hour just blows my mind. Granted, the clock only starts to run after they’ve done the meal planning and grocery shopping, but still! Takes a lot of experience in the kitchen to do that. I doubt that Ham is henpecked like some previous commenter said: you can feel the complicity between these two people just in the way they work together. Seamless and peaceful.

    i think after becoming a parent sohla may have gotten better at making time-saving modifications to execute her ideas- for example, opting for puff pastry or pie crust instead of making the dough herself. her whimsy has been constrained slightly, forcing her to make practical choices where before she would have pushed herself to do the more laborious/time-sucking thing. it's beautiful to watch this chef grow!

    Celery leaves are delicious! Bonus second vegetable if you can get a bunch with fresh leaves intact. Pick them off the stem when you get them home and store separately, otherwise the stems will start drawing water from the leaves to try to keep the plant alive, causing the leaves to wilt faster. They're wonderful chopped up fine and sateed in fried rice.
