I already ordered one. I would have like to get two so my kids could have their own but you said they are limited so I don’t want to take away the kit from someone else and its expensive. I can get some extra plaster and paints and share the rest.
Jackie did you remember disposable gloves? I'm not picking on you! I thought of it when mixing Apoxie the other day. It says on the label you're supposed to wear gloves to mix it at the very least. Some say to use it, too, but that one is debatable. If not, no big deal, you were insanely efficient with your Not Another Crap Kit. If you did, dang woman, you are a BOSS! ;) I ordered mine within minutes of it going live so lack of gloves isn't going to change my mind (LOL)
I really wanted to get one but it was between buying this or diapers and diapers won out. Im sooo sorry! I really wanted yo so I could support you and also be able to do something I love but diapers are so expensive.
Well... If psychologists, doctors, politics, sociology, culture, Police, and so in and talking about 'people' means to have a small mind - Then yes... You are right ;)
@@christiank4199 discussing ppl in this quote means to talk about ppl in a gossip way, small minds have nothing but the neighbors business to talk about bc nothing in their life seems interesting enough, it’s easier to talk about somebody else's flaws and achievements when you can't face and don't have, your own's respectively
You have folks who care about you. Please talk with someone you trust who can advocate for you when you feel at your lowest point. You aren't alone or broken or worthless (even if that's how you see yourself at the moment). It takes an insane amount of courage and bravery to actually acknowledge when we need help (been there,doing it now) then accepting help when we need it. You ARE worthy. Gentle hugs and healing energy to you. ✌👍❤
I have nobody IRL. No friends, no supportive family (we don't even communicate, really). I'm in an emotionally and mentally abusive relationship. Some tell me it's financially abusive, too. I'm disabled in ways people don't understand. I've called domestic abuse hotlines, mental health organizations, and government agencies, and they can't understand or work with my OCD (one of my mental issues, but I need to talk right now, not do ocd therapy again, to ease my stress), or they tell me I "have too much going on" for them to be able to help me. I can't work, and I don't get enough SSDI for disabilities, which some are new since I first got on SSDI. I have a psychiatrist who mostly just gives me pills. The last time I talked to him, I told him I was afraid what would happen to me if something happened to my boyfriend, and he suggested I marry him. I told him I have no interest in marrying him, and he has no interest in marrying me. He then said, if my boyfriend and I got married and he died, I'd get an inheritance. I repeated my lack of interest and my boyfriend's. Even if my boyfriend DID want to marry me, I DO NOT want to marry him. I've had psychiatrists, psychologists, counselors, etc., for 43 years. I've been told some crazy things. In my early 20s, I told my then-psychologist I didn't want children, and she told me I should have a hysterectomy, that she'd had one, and it was no big deal. I've never lived on my own, wasn't taught, dearly want to (with my cats and what's left of my personal property), but I'm scared.
I love listening to you talk about your home country...and teach us words for things...because for an English grain its fascinating...i love the milk and cream story..sounds lush xx
Amazingly it sounds like we are a lot alike - from autoimmune diseases, a traumatic childhood (my dad died when I was 15), and I’m a College professor. I often think we Canadians use humour and self-deprecation when dealing with heavy topics. Love you Jackie! ❤️❤️❤️
In Mexico we used to do the same, mi great grandma used to live in a little town and she bought the milk just like that, we boiled it and everyone fought for the cream that formed on top we called it nata it was amazing, I miss it so much 😢
There are two things I often say, especially when stuck in the ED. "You have to make the most of what you've got" and "I'd never get anything done if I waited until I was feeling better"
Moroccan Mint Tea! Sooooo good!! Also, we do have heavy whipping cream in the US. Does that work? My grandma made cake frosting out of it. I totally agree with you in that we are here to learn lessons. Remember this: "What other people think of you is none of your business."
This week has been horrific for me. My little boy got excluded from school for the second time. He's 8 and has adhd and is autistic. After the school sent him home for hurting another child I discovered he had been hurt by the adult supposed to be caring for him. School have denied this but its true I know it is. My heart is broken and I'm all out of spoons given my own health. Today I listened to nerdecrafter podcast and Jackie made me remember life isn't all bad and it's OK to laugh still. Love Sundays
It's funny you were talking about "gut feeling" near the end. One time at university, there was a guy who came into our lab and on my, my gut feeling was screeea-ming 'get out, get out, get out, now!" and I left. I never had before (nor after) an intense feeling like this with skin crawling and all and still to this day, I don't know why I reacted like this to this guy. Never saw him in the school again. really weird. Again, really interesting topic today, would be curious to learn more about other books that impacted you like this. thanks for sharing!!
This has been therapy with Jackie. Within 10 minutes I was nodding in agreement with you and this was a fantastic subject. A lot of it reminds me of mindfulness, but I relate to you and not taking things personally. I'm also someone who is incredibly self critical and like to psychoanalyse myself. Thank you for sharing!
Hi Jackie, I grew up in Massachusetts. I am in my 60's now but as a child milk was delivered to the door in glass bottles with a cardboard cap. The cream would separate from the milk so that the top 3 or four inches was very thick. My mom would scoop it out and give it to me topped with honey also!. Luv - Ya !
My therapist bought me that book years ago. Even at my quite advanced age, this book changed my life. Thank you for giving your talk about this, it is important for anyone from early teens to grandparent aged people. You are such a beautiful person! Please tell Sika we are all thinking of her. (not sure how to spell her name) hugs ❤
Dear Jackie, you actually had me tear up at 27 minutes... I have always had a tendency to feel like i am not up to scratch, like i somehow was less than others. Which led me to push myself everyday, and that's how i got a burnout. To hear you say that it is okay to know that my 100% is less now, but that i am fine and that it is okay. That means so much.
I have the hardest time with not making assumptions. I feel like the same conversation with a different person can sometimes have different meaning, but because of the past, in my experience, I take it the same as I have before.
I really needed those words on doing the best I can. As a single solo mom with borderline personality disorder and adhd and a carp ton of health issues (that I can't find a doctor to take seriously) I beat myself up alot wishing I could give my daughter everything she needs. But this past year I've really gone downhill mental health wise sometimes we have cereal for dinner because I've used up all my energy just hanging on. I need to try harder to be kind to myself. I would hate for my daughter to think of herself the way I think of myself. Also I started wearing shorts outside which I haven't done since I was in grade school. Rocking the thunder thighs and not covering up my scars. Why should I be so uncomfortable in multiple layers to hide under its crazy hot in Toronto these days.
Don't beat yourself up for having cereal for dinner: it's still food, and you're still feeding yourself and your child. Well done, Mama! Hang in there!
I have had quite a bit of trauma myself as a child, teenager and even as an adult. Was in toxic relationships, but through counseling/therapy, I have learned to trust my instincts more and break toxic cycles that I was in. The biggest thing I’ve learned and yet the hardest was; to forgive myself and let go/walk away from the very things that was harmful to me. Including distancing myself from family members who are/were toxic.
This really lights my heart up to hear you talk about your trauma and where you are now. I am essentially a trauma coach and I help people (primarily entrepreneurial women) heal from a lot of that in the form of emotional blocks, personal agreements and societal programming. I love the four agreements. Such simple truths but so profound. Thank you for talking about these things. I’ve loved watching you for a while now but these podcasts just take it to such a deeper level. I hope you’re feeling better and the procedure is having the desired results. Sending light, love and healing vibes
I love these agreements, although I do have flashbacks of my parents advice, ie... don't judge until you've walked a mile in someone else's shoes, you are the only you and appreciate the individual in those around you, don't throw rocks when you live in a glass house ..... timeless and sound advice :)
Wow, Jackie, that was FASCINATING! I’ve been aware of the four agreements for years but it never meant anything to me. I suffer from severe depression and several chronic illnesses, so I look for anything to help. YOUR broadcast and analysis of the four agreements and what they mean to you, through your personal examples and very articulate way of expressing yourself, made these agreements more understandable to me. I don’t know yet if I can apply them, but I’m definitely saving this podcast so I can hear it again and see if I can apply it toward my life. I NEED something like this in my life. You have inspired me, 😁and I think that this could help me in my journey. Thank you so much for explaining something in such detail and with clarity, that I now understand in a completely different and much more usable way. Thank you thank you thank you! I have always been a fan of yours and watch all your videos. Love ya, and I hope your back surgery is progressing well and your healing and feeling better. ☺️❤️👍🏼
To me what I refer to as gossip is when someone elevates themselves or their circumstances over someone else or their circumstances. When someone uses someone else to appear better than, then "to me" THAT is gossip. If speaking of others was ALL considered gossip, well this would be a VERY quiet world.
I know exactly what you meen, my Granparents were farmer, I spend the most of my holidays with them. In the morning, when the cows got ready to got milked, I went down stairs and sneacked into the stable. It was quite early, so my grandma would send me back to bed. But I could not wait for breakfast were we had fresh milk. And when the milk stood a whyle there were cream above the milk. And often I were alloud to "snack" this cream with a little sugar. I even made budder with my "oma" (i am German) I just told her, that is a really deep memory of mine. Loved it. The name used in Germany is whole milk or raw milk. You can get it nower days not that easy as back than. Had to stop the video, it is not my theme, or to much my theme. Get well still.
"I'm doing the best I can with what I have" is going to be my mantra now. I was an athlete practicing ballet at a professional level for 20 years, plus other dancing techniques. But it was not my career, I practiced it as a hobby. Then my career and kids took more time and left most dancing and exercise out due to time. And fast forward to 5 years ago when I had an accident that left my right (and dominant hand) partially disable per nerve damage and constant neural pain. Fast forward to today my 100% varies too much from day to day depending on my mobility and pain level. So I need to remind myself that it's okay to do what I can with what I have every given day
I feel like this was a solid view of Jackie in Teacher Mode! Very much felt like I was back in a college literary discussion course, just the professor and maybe a dozen students talking about a book. I would love to see you bringing on viewers/subscribers to have like... a classroom setting kind of thing where we get to see you leading a group discussion. And I agree on the gossip topic, sometimes gossip is really important to share information and protect people. As an example in recent drama in the art community, if more people had talked about what was going on (allegedly) with a certain creator's behavior, maybe more people could have been spared the pain and trauma of dealing with it personally. Sometimes we have to come together as a community to protect each other from toxic people and gossip is a useful tool in doing that. ~Raven
With the cream aspect of the conversation, it sounds kinda similar to clotted cream we have in the UK, although we don't have it on its own with honey, it's what we put on our scones with jam, and is that super thick spooning consistency, might be a good alternative if you can get your hands on it in Canada!
I love philosophical discussions and debates! That's what my bestie and I did in art class in the last year of school. So much fun! I had to stop watching at half an hour for my mental health. Touching on things I've been doing in therapy. But on the plus side you've helped me realise where a phrase my parents used came from. They just took it too far. There's a difference between trying to teach a child that not everyone is "impeccable with their word", saying don't take it to heart, and using the same phrase to excuse their own bullying "jokes". So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you, Jackie. You helped me find a missing puzzle piece bridging the gap between how I was as a small child and how I came to be this tangled version of myself
I'm loving the philosophical podcasts, Jackie! I was always a "weird" teenager, more interested in reading, critical thinking, and things like that, so I totally understand what you mean. I am going through a lot lately, treating myself really bad because I have severe depression and I can't study as much as would some months ago, and this video came just in time to help me remember that my 100% does not have to be the same everyday. I think it is something we all know deep inside, but do not want or are not able to apply, but we totally should! By the way, I hope you are feeling much better. Looking forward to you next podcast video. Lots of love from Spain! :)
Do the best you can with what you have, when you have it…. It was like a lighting strike to my brain. Having chronic autoimmune diseases, they really do rob you of what you had. It’s so so easy to judge yourself for failing and getting stuck in the belief that your lazy or horrible because you are no longer what you once where…. I think I have been slowly adjusting and internalising the acceptance and kindness I need to show myself to heal the pain of living “less” of a life than I used too, but having it put into such a succinct phrase really felt like a shock of relief. It feel like I’m on the right path and it’s okay to be okay with where I am at day by day- even though it differs so wildly sometimes. Thank you Jackie for sharing your thoughts again. Sending healing hugs and spoons for you!
I think what makes gossip so challenging is that it often is a form of comparison. And putting others down so a person feels better about themselves. I also am overweight. The irritating thing with all these rights of certain groups of people affecting who you can joke about and how to not offend others is that weight is still a target. Comedians target overweight people frequently. You are also dismissed by others as having the right to an opinion or could possibly see things clearly. Medical people are the most challenging with this issue. An overweight person in an ER will be looked down on and dismissed extremely easily. And if you are a woman or have known mental health issues, you better have someone, preferably male, with you for them to listen. The next 2 topics seem almost intertwined. So it makes sense to cover them together. Not taking things personally is a big challenge, especially if it is negative towards myself.
Jackie you are totally right: as mean as gossip sometimes sounds it is a means of socialization. We get closer to each other. The problem is, when we take it to an extrem and badmouth about every human being. But for example: gossiping about the boss can make the team work harder together :) plus it is a stress relief
In spanish your "ishta" is called "nata" and I hated it because people never put that apart, so they serve you the Milo with that weird thing on top or they strain it before serving. But that was with the Milk we buy in the supermarket, pasteurized and all. Everybody seemed to love the nata. I rather not say how bad I disliked it. It has to do with texture and it felt like snot for me. 😥 Anyways. I hope you're having a great recovery Jackie! I hope you'll be able to do your favourite things in no time! Me and my boyfriend love your channels and we hope you keep growing!
That Ishta (if that's how you spell it) sounds like what for us in Mexico is "nata", is basically a layer that forms on top of boiled milk when is getting cold, I know people use it to spread it on bread and we also have "pan de nata" which is really good, I can't explain it, sorry I just woke up 🤣🤣
Two things I love that you share your Egyptian history that absolutely fascinates me. Second this podcast in the previous one had been more helpful to me than months of going to counseling. I can’t thank you enough you’ll never know how much it means to me. Also i’ve suffered with chronic pain and medical issues for over 30 years now and seeing how do you Handle your issues with such grace definitely has an impact on me personally thank you from the bottom of my heart
Thank you for talking about proper discussion and thinking.Too many people just think within their doctrine and accept the most awful things as being "right", just because someone in power says so. I also had a lovely teacher guiding me through horrid time, but he didn´t know what I was really going through.
I have always been of the opinion that a true “right way” doesn’t exist. Because everyone has a different experience what’s right for them is different. This is why I wish people of differing opinions could have respectful conversation and truly try to understand each other, I love hearing your take on topics like this, it feels like we get to know you on a more personal level
I completely agree with your position on critical thinking! The loss of critical thinking in the education system is the greatest tragedy in the teaching process in the last hundred years!
The 'your 100% differs from day to do and from moment to moment' is helping me quite a lot (and so are these podcasts). I am a Spoonie, and used to have more energy than I do now, thanks to a few diseases/disorders (most notably Trigeminal Neuralgia, a very painful nerve disorder). I am also an Emotional Empath, and weighed down by these a bit atm. I am trying; my 100% today was lower than my 100% yesterday - but I'm still here, and still trying. Thank you for the encouragement and explanations, Jackie! They do help! (-:
Romania, yas! Raw milk everywhere. You don't even have to find a farm, many people living in the countryside have cows, and they would happily sell you milk if you ask for it, or any other produce. It is so much fun to explore the different regions, even if we are not a big country we have a lot of regions with different traditions and so, and taste the different homemade foods.
You are such a wonderful human! Thank you for sharing this side of you Jackie. Our brains and how we deal with life is so similar. I relate to you so much. Especially with health issues, philosophical beliefs, being a teacher etc LOL. We are getting older and wiser eh? Being impeccable with your words is important but so is INTENTION. Your intention comes thru if the words do not come out the way we plan. I personally do not indulge with gossip, I find that it brings bad karma, but it could just be in my own head. I know people in my past have spoken poorly about me, so I choose to NOT participate in the gossip. We never truly know what others are going thru. Much love and respect to you hun. I enjoy your deep dives and of course your creativity with your crafts.
Thank you! My heart was in great need of hearing this today! ❤ Thank you for being so open about your autoimmune disorder! Your willingness to share has on multiple occasions brought me great comfort in knowing I am not along when it comes to my own autoimmune disorder struggles.
I’ve told my husband a hundred thousand times, Say what you mean and mean what you say. I’ve always tried to live by that. However, not every thought someone has needs to be spoken. I feel like too many people on the internet don’t follow this.
Another great episode of Coffee and Conversation. I really enjoyed listening to your opinions. It really hits home with the negative comments which usually come from family and end up being a stigma in your life. As for gossip, I totally associate it with a negative connotations and it is the most basic form of communication that people usually use to make themselves feel better.
Thank you, Jackie. it's crazy because I'm going through some rough weeks and all I've been doing is watch your videos. They are so soothing and so helpful. Thank you again
I try and start this idea with young children. The little boy (aged 6) I nanny often asks me questions like “how long is the Wall of China?”, “how high/far can a German Shepherd dog jump?”, “could a crocodile/alligator crush a car if it bit it?”, and I will often ask him what he thinks, then I’ll give my opinion and then we check in a book/online. I love encouraging him to ask all his questions, and I even learn stuff sometimes!
I'm crying. Thank you... really thank you for talking about all this stuff. I missed these words for a very long time ... And they were literally important to me. Now I feel a little better and it means much more than it might seem at first glance. thanks
Thank you for this info. I am your oldest subscriber so I have lost most all of my friends and family. I feel that a lot of this sounds a bit like be kind, honest and helping when you can as long as you are being kind to yourself...My childhood was so full of sex, verbal, and 👱♂emotional abuse. It takes years to learn to trust others💯. Or feel loved...Yes go on, and I will be there.👏👍👌 Thank you dear Jackie for showing us this side of you. Love to you. 🙏for your health.❤❤❤
"Anything is negative if you take it to extreme" Absolutely. I try to tell people this all the time. I can relate to a lot of what you are saying. I have never read this book, which I'm surprised, but I have heard a lot of this before. I am going to have to give this book a read. With the impeccable with your word, O have learned to be to assertive while speaking, I'm not sure if it goes along with that or not. I also get the saying certain things can program you, if you keep telling yourself something you will eventually believe it, whether it be positive or negative. I love getting to know you. 💜
The quote about keeping your word impeccable, I take that to mean not being self deprecating, which I was the queen of for a long time. Also, thinking people are gossiping/badmouthing me when I am left out of a conversation or people are laughing and giggling across the room from me. So empowering now to think ‘Ah well, even if they are, who cares!’
I think the best way to tell if gossip is bad is the intent of the speaker. Are they getting a laugh out of other's misfortunes and trying to hurt them or they trying to caution the listener away from a person or activity. It's best to avoid bad gossipers because they spread bad feelings and will likely turn on anyone, including you, if they feel they can get a good story out of it.
We also boil our milk on Colombia, in big cities that's not a thing anymore, but in small cities it is still very common, the cream that accumulates in the top we call it "nata" 😄
The coffee chats are my favorite, also one of my fav things to do anytime, even though most of my friends drink tea... 'Weird milk' ... For part of my earlier childood, my dad worked for a farmer and would bring fresh milk home in big gallon glass jugs... The milk would separate while sitting in the fridge, my dad always took the thicker cream from the top... We would let each layer separate,pour off the cream, and by the botyom of the jugs,it was the equivilant to skim milk... We then had to heat the milk to pasteurize it before drinking... Now there is a milk truck that delivers,my son is thrilled at getting milk in glass jugs... 'Internal dialog 'is a tough on to get a hold of, After 50yrs i had a conversation with myself... Basicly,it's my job to be my own best friend,back biting,stinking thinking and negative messaging, is not acceptable... When it starts up,which from time to time it does, I grab hold of it asap, thats not how friends treat one another... It takes practice, but it works for me...
Jackie, you are the affirmation I needed today. I needed to hear that I am doing good. I needed to hear that I am enough.your podcasts are like catching up with a good friend I haven't talked to in a while and I wanted to thank you for that. I hope your recovering from your surgery well 💕
Arthur Ashe : "Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can." Captain Picard (Star Trek: The Next Generation): "It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not weakness. That is life." And then the mother of all quotes that get me through: Lewis Carroll: "We're all mad here."
Hello Jackie. Ty ! So very much for your talk. I was feeling low and your talk has helped me be much happier. I know this program is a year old. Ty for making my day for all your videos
I think I will be emailing you soon. I was listening and I started to cry because I so fall into why am I not get enough. Some of your other coffee talks have really hit home and I want to share with you without. Putting everything out there. All this to say thank you for just being how you are.
I live in California and had family that had cattle. I LOVED the milk straight from the cows! My mom would make butter, cheese and, yes, CREAM! I miss this. Sometimes I was allowed to put a drinking glass under the cow and get my milk that way. Yummmmmm
Often, there's a singular event in a relationship that represents that relationship in it's entirety. Recognizing it is often difficult at the time, but later is seems so clear. Learning to break the cycle first involves recognizing the pattern. I have broken the cycle, but I don't know how to fix it.
This 4 agreement really hit me ♥️♥️ i really need to hear this in so many ways ♥️ thank you Jackie for this wonderful lessons 🥇🌈 sometimes I don’t think you how much you’re here for us and this is why we are so loyal, and why here so much on your channel♥️♥️♥️ thank you for creating this safe space to be special wired and funny♥️♥️♥️ love all the way ♥️♥️♥️
Hey Jackie, I found your channel a little while ago and I've been binging your videos like everyday! Just wanted to say how great your channel is and how much I appreciate you! You're so comforting to listen to because you're just an awesome person and that totally shines through in your videos! Im currently recovering from PTSD, and I'm super crafty like yourself so watching you make things has been my absolute favourite and has kept me feeling creative even when I haven't been! I just have so much love for your channel and I hope you know your videos are helping many a people I'm sure like myself simply because you're an awesome grain!! So thank you sm, and I hope you are keeping well. *hugs to you* 😊
I think the most important is the first one about speaking the truth bc if we speak the truth, esp to ourselves, then we can be happy and more at ease. I've been reading the power of now for over a year now. Yeah, I know... but like you said it's circular, so its like I'll pick it up from time to time as a reminder and to get a slightly different perspective on what's going on. It's illegal in North America to sell. However, if you partner with a farmer, you can legally own a portion of the cow, like owning a portion of a stock without owning the whole stock. And so, you can get the raw milk from the cow you own, legally. The unsaid portion is that you will boil your own milk you receive from your cow, but some people don't. I have some friends and colleagues who grew up on dairy farms. One even talked about how she had her raw milk in an open pit her or jug in the fridge and there would be this film that developed on top and she would peel it off when she went to get milk. Not sure if she ever ate it, if it was safe or not to eat (legally).
I'm still learning to never forget what somebody did to me. I tend to be angry, sad and after a while I rationalize peoples behaviour. Then I forget and the cycle repeats itself again. I don't know if it's some kind of coping mechanism from nearly constant manipulation and gaslighting. Maybe people who are stuck in toxic relationship have similar problem.
I honestly needed to hear a lot of this especially being told I’m doing my best with what I’ve got (I know directly) but considering what’s going on at the moment, I needed that - thank you Jackie 😊
I enjoy listening you. The pain you have endured can be heard thru your kindnes toward others. It's easier to be kind to other, I think. It shouldn't be that way.. seeing positive representation of yourself is SO important. Especially for children and teenagers. I'm so happy, that you are being a such a wonderful role model for future content makers 💜 And it would be so much fun to have a proper conversation / debate.. maeby someday somewhere! Wishing you speedy recovery, lots of painless hours and days!
You are an inspiration to us all. I love listening to your stories, they are captivating. I would of really loved school if I’d had a teacher like you.
In Arkansas, there are a few dairies here that have special permits to sell raw milk directly to individuals. The heavy cream that rises to the top when cooking is called butter cream here. It is removed from "grocery store milk".
I also wrote quotes ( from books, TV shows, inspiring people) in my homework diary. I love Criminal Minds because each episode begins and ends with an inspiring/thought-provoking quote!
Oh! When I was a kid, I couldn't drink cow milk (I still can't by the way). So my parents went early Sundays to a goat farm and bought goat milk for me and my sister. So every Sunday morning the house will smell like the goat milk candy known as cajeta because my parents were boiling the milk (and smells similar) and we had that type of cream from the top of the boiled goat milk and it was amazing! We ate it both salty or sweet, depending to what we added it to (corn tortilla/bread with avocado and salt or flour tortilla/bread with jam). I guess is something similar to cottage cheese or cream cheese. Just less "cheesey". I live in México by the way, and while I don't think it's prohibited to sell raw milk, it's not easy to get if you live in a city. It's easier on the country side near farming and cattle ranches ( there are tons a couple of counties near the city I live). Nowadays even goat milk is hard to buy because it is mostly used in the candy industry. And with cow milk, most of it goes to the pasteurize plants, so they don't sell to locals much.
Mmmm I would love to try Ishta! The closet I’ve tried of that yummy cream on top is a product from Alexandre Family farm organic A2/A2 whole milk. It’s refrigerated in the stores over here in California. I would love to try Egyptian method straight from the pot 😋
Have you tried British clotted cream? Clotted cream is traditionally made by heating fresh cow's milk, then setting and cooling it for hours in a shallow pan. This thick cream has at least 55% butterfat. You can usually buy it in jars in British shops (or fancy cheese shops). It’s heavier than whipped cream - kept in the refrigerator it’s almost like whipped butter. It’s put on scones with jam - absolutely delicious!!! It sounds fairly close to the Egyptian cream.
pepermint tea is something that will clear out your breathing and settle your stomach, and I love it. But having your really think cream in coffee or tea sounds delicious!
Im from Pakistan and we too have to boil the milk . In pakistan the cream is called "milai" and we put sugar in it and eat it with bread or "naan" bread
OMG we do fried fries sandwich too! In the UK we call them Chip Butties! We also make Sausage Butties! which is sausages in a bun too :3 they are so good! Oh and Crisps in bread too XD us brits like our carbs too XD
I like to make up my own opinion about a person regardless of what I hear about them from others. Unless I hear that they're a serial killer, then I can make up my mind pretty quick 😨
My eldest daughter loves this channel and is so excited that Jackie has made a craft kit. Unfortunately I've lost my job and can't afford the kit for my daughter, so I'm going to have to wait and see if it comes out again later this year, or even next year, and try to buy it for her after I get another job.
In Belgium you can buy your milk at the farm. And that is fresh cow milk, or goat milk or horsemilk. You have to cook it yourself or you ask it at the farm to cook for you. But they also do it in a pot and cook it up to 100degrees...
I think of gossip as speaking untruths about people, or sharing secrets. The gossip of women doing laundry together, I’m sure, helped keep villiages together as a community for ever and ever, but we all know the eye of the gossip on us, right? Knowing they’re going to make stuff up or start saying negative things about totally innocent stuff. So I can see where not everything that is “talking about people” is “gossip”. It’s been a looong time since I read the Four Agreements too, though. But that idea that people do things because of their own univese was really important for me as a you ger adult. And deserves revisiting al the time like “omg why am I left at read? What did I do!?” becomes, oh that person is busy and I can support them by being understanding of that.
I love how you talk about food in every episode. It's always neat to get insights into how different cultures use and eat food and ashta sounds delicious. Every time you and Sika talk about being petty or protective of food I TOTALLY RELATE lol I wish I had had someone like you as a professor. Most of mine were awful. I had two professors who required a citation or reference at the end of every sentence, which still baffles me to this day. When I challenged them during their office hours, saying I wanted to form my own critical opinion about the subject, and argue my point using existing theory or challenge existing theory, I was cut down. Do you know how long it takes and how much you DON'T learn making sure that EVERY sentence you write in an 10+ page paper is cited? The discussion on the four agreements is fascinating. I find the second agreement maybe the most challenging personally. I also mistreat myself by wishing I was where I used to be, and I think doing your best, whatever your best is, is potentially the most important. I'm also not a fan of Eckhart Tolle! And if you're anything like me, you've tried almost everything to feel better physically, but just in case, I want to mention aqua therapy. Exercising in the pool has been a game changer for me and tends not to trigger any of my chronic pain unless I go at my exercises too hard or for too long. Thank you for another great episode!
In Mexico we sometimes also boil the milk and this cream that you said it's call "nata“ and yes it is delicious. I really love it when it forms from " arroz con leche" (sweet milk and rice usually also with cinnamon)
Omg! Same milk thing happens in India!, we call it 'malai'. We can make so many things with it . We use it for making 'ghee' with it only if you know what it is , it is pure butter. We get the milk from the dairy directly and if we get the pure cow or buffalo milk it make such good thick malai (the cream she talked about) and it's just sooo good if you take it and put sugar in it ,mix it and eat it it's just so amazing in itself. We even it that mixture putting on toast, which tastes amazing as well. And u can add onions , carrot and capcicum etc. Chopped mic it with ishta(I hope I spelled it right) with some spices and salt put it on bread , add some butter on pan and cook it. And believe me it tastes amazing and is a great breakfast I like to have and my mum makes it for me.
Ok so I googled the unpasteurized milk sells and there’s a few places in the US that sell raw milk and so far the only illegal thing from my understanding is selling raw milk through a state to state sell.
I live in Northern Colorado USA. Even though it is very much a rural, farming community ~ but I can't buy raw milk without a permit. This government is such a "nanny", taking away our options to make our own choices. Sigh.

Don’t forget to get your limited quantities craft kit: smartartbox.com/pages/nerdebox
I already ordered one. I would have like to get two so my kids could have their own but you said they are limited so I don’t want to take away the kit from someone else and its expensive. I can get some extra plaster and paints and share the rest.
Can't wait to get mine! I have one more payment left to make and then it all becomes real! Eeeek!
Jackie did you remember disposable gloves? I'm not picking on you! I thought of it when mixing Apoxie the other day. It says on the label you're supposed to wear gloves to mix it at the very least. Some say to use it, too, but that one is debatable. If not, no big deal, you were insanely efficient with your Not Another Crap Kit. If you did, dang woman, you are a BOSS! ;) I ordered mine within minutes of it going live so lack of gloves isn't going to change my mind (LOL)
Waiting patiently.
I really wanted to get one but it was between buying this or diapers and diapers won out. Im sooo sorry! I really wanted yo so I could support you and also be able to do something I love but diapers are so expensive.
“Small minds discuss people, average minds discuss events, great minds discuss ideas”
For a moment I read grape minds. Tell me why that still made sense. XD
I have always loved this quote
I think you and my brother In law are cut from the same cloth. He love love loves playing devils advocate.
Well... If psychologists, doctors, politics, sociology, culture, Police, and so in and talking about 'people' means to have a small mind - Then yes... You are right ;)
@@christiank4199 discussing ppl in this quote means to talk about ppl in a gossip way, small minds have nothing but the neighbors business to talk about bc nothing in their life seems interesting enough, it’s easier to talk about somebody else's flaws and achievements when you can't face and don't have, your own's respectively
I feel like I'm falling apart everyday.. I will try saying "I'm doing the best I can with what I have" thank you Jackie.. I needed that. *Hugs*
You have folks who care about you. Please talk with someone you trust who can advocate for you when you feel at your lowest point. You aren't alone or broken or worthless (even if that's how you see yourself at the moment). It takes an insane amount of courage and bravery to actually acknowledge when we need help (been there,doing it now) then accepting help when we need it. You ARE worthy. Gentle hugs and healing energy to you. ✌👍❤
New mom. I feel for you!. hugs! I always question if I am doing ok. I know if I am asking myself that then I must care enough to be doing ok.
I have nobody IRL. No friends, no supportive family (we don't even communicate, really). I'm in an emotionally and mentally abusive relationship. Some tell me it's financially abusive, too. I'm disabled in ways people don't understand. I've called domestic abuse hotlines, mental health organizations, and government agencies, and they can't understand or work with my OCD (one of my mental issues, but I need to talk right now, not do ocd therapy again, to ease my stress), or they tell me I "have too much going on" for them to be able to help me. I can't work, and I don't get enough SSDI for disabilities, which some are new since I first got on SSDI. I have a psychiatrist who mostly just gives me pills. The last time I talked to him, I told him I was afraid what would happen to me if something happened to my boyfriend, and he suggested I marry him. I told him I have no interest in marrying him, and he has no interest in marrying me. He then said, if my boyfriend and I got married and he died, I'd get an inheritance. I repeated my lack of interest and my boyfriend's. Even if my boyfriend DID want to marry me, I DO NOT want to marry him. I've had psychiatrists, psychologists, counselors, etc., for 43 years. I've been told some crazy things. In my early 20s, I told my then-psychologist I didn't want children, and she told me I should have a hysterectomy, that she'd had one, and it was no big deal.
I've never lived on my own, wasn't taught, dearly want to (with my cats and what's left of my personal property), but I'm scared.
I love listening to you talk about your home country...and teach us words for things...because for an English grain its fascinating...i love the milk and cream story..sounds lush xx
Amazingly it sounds like we are a lot alike - from autoimmune diseases, a traumatic childhood (my dad died when I was 15), and I’m a College professor. I often think we Canadians use humour and self-deprecation when dealing with heavy topics.
Love you Jackie! ❤️❤️❤️
In Mexico we used to do the same, mi great grandma used to live in a little town and she bought the milk just like that, we boiled it and everyone fought for the cream that formed on top we called it nata it was amazing, I miss it so much 😢
There are two things I often say, especially when stuck in the ED. "You have to make the most of what you've got" and "I'd never get anything done if I waited until I was feeling better"
Moroccan Mint Tea! Sooooo good!! Also, we do have heavy whipping cream in the US. Does that work? My grandma made cake frosting out of it.
I totally agree with you in that we are here to learn lessons. Remember this: "What other people think of you is none of your business."
This week has been horrific for me. My little boy got excluded from school for the second time. He's 8 and has adhd and is autistic. After the school sent him home for hurting another child I discovered he had been hurt by the adult supposed to be caring for him. School have denied this but its true I know it is.
My heart is broken and I'm all out of spoons given my own health.
Today I listened to nerdecrafter podcast and Jackie made me remember life isn't all bad and it's OK to laugh still.
Love Sundays
I love Egyptian culture so much and I love learning more about it. Hearing you talk about living in Egypt is so facilitating to me.
It's funny you were talking about "gut feeling" near the end. One time at university, there was a guy who came into our lab and on my, my gut feeling was screeea-ming 'get out, get out, get out, now!" and I left. I never had before (nor after) an intense feeling like this with skin crawling and all and still to this day, I don't know why I reacted like this to this guy. Never saw him in the school again. really weird. Again, really interesting topic today, would be curious to learn more about other books that impacted you like this. thanks for sharing!!
Sunday morning coffee ☕️ is much better with a Jackie podcast ❤️
This has been therapy with Jackie. Within 10 minutes I was nodding in agreement with you and this was a fantastic subject. A lot of it reminds me of mindfulness, but I relate to you and not taking things personally. I'm also someone who is incredibly self critical and like to psychoanalyse myself. Thank you for sharing!
Hi Jackie, I grew up in Massachusetts. I am in my 60's now but as a child milk was delivered to the door in glass bottles with a cardboard cap. The cream would separate from the milk so that the top 3 or four inches was very thick. My mom would scoop it out and give it to me topped with honey also!. Luv - Ya !
My therapist bought me that book years ago. Even at my quite advanced age, this book changed my life. Thank you for giving your talk about this, it is important for anyone from early teens to grandparent aged people. You are such a beautiful person!
Please tell Sika we are all thinking of her. (not sure how to spell her name) hugs ❤
I absolutely love these glimpses into to the NerdEcrafter realm. Parting the salty veil and showing us more!
Dear Jackie, you actually had me tear up at 27 minutes... I have always had a tendency to feel like i am not up to scratch, like i somehow was less than others. Which led me to push myself everyday, and that's how i got a burnout. To hear you say that it is okay to know that my 100% is less now, but that i am fine and that it is okay. That means so much.
I have the hardest time with not making assumptions. I feel like the same conversation with a different person can sometimes have different meaning, but because of the past, in my experience, I take it the same as I have before.
I really needed those words on doing the best I can. As a single solo mom with borderline personality disorder and adhd and a carp ton of health issues (that I can't find a doctor to take seriously) I beat myself up alot wishing I could give my daughter everything she needs. But this past year I've really gone downhill mental health wise sometimes we have cereal for dinner because I've used up all my energy just hanging on. I need to try harder to be kind to myself. I would hate for my daughter to think of herself the way I think of myself.
Also I started wearing shorts outside which I haven't done since I was in grade school. Rocking the thunder thighs and not covering up my scars. Why should I be so uncomfortable in multiple layers to hide under its crazy hot in Toronto these days.
Don't beat yourself up for having cereal for dinner: it's still food, and you're still feeding yourself and your child. Well done, Mama! Hang in there!
I have had quite a bit of trauma myself as a child, teenager and even as an adult. Was in toxic relationships, but through counseling/therapy, I have learned to trust my instincts more and break toxic cycles that I was in. The biggest thing I’ve learned and yet the hardest was; to forgive myself and let go/walk away from the very things that was harmful to me. Including distancing myself from family members who are/were toxic.
This really lights my heart up to hear you talk about your trauma and where you are now. I am essentially a trauma coach and I help people (primarily entrepreneurial women) heal from a lot of that in the form of emotional blocks, personal agreements and societal programming. I love the four agreements. Such simple truths but so profound. Thank you for talking about these things. I’ve loved watching you for a while now but these podcasts just take it to such a deeper level.
I hope you’re feeling better and the procedure is having the desired results. Sending light, love and healing vibes
I love these agreements, although I do have flashbacks of my parents advice, ie... don't judge until you've walked a mile in someone else's shoes, you are the only you and appreciate the individual in those around you, don't throw rocks when you live in a glass house ..... timeless and sound advice :)
Wow, Jackie, that was FASCINATING! I’ve been aware of the four agreements for years but it never meant anything to me. I suffer from severe depression and several chronic illnesses, so I look for anything to help.
YOUR broadcast and analysis of the four agreements and what they mean to you, through your personal examples and very articulate way of expressing yourself, made these agreements more understandable to me. I don’t know yet if I can apply them, but I’m definitely saving this podcast so I can hear it again and see if I can apply it toward my life. I NEED something like this in my life. You have inspired me, 😁and I think that this could help me in my journey.
Thank you so much for explaining something in such detail and with clarity, that I now understand in a completely different and much more usable way.
Thank you thank you thank you! I have always been a fan of yours and watch all your videos. Love ya, and I hope your back surgery is progressing well and your healing and feeling better. ☺️❤️👍🏼
To me what I refer to as gossip is when someone elevates themselves or their circumstances over someone else or their circumstances. When someone uses someone else to appear better than, then "to me" THAT is gossip. If speaking of others was ALL considered gossip, well this would be a VERY quiet world.
I know exactly what you meen, my Granparents were farmer, I spend the most of my holidays with them. In the morning, when the cows got ready to got milked, I went down stairs and sneacked into the stable. It was quite early, so my grandma would send me back to bed. But I could not wait for breakfast were we had fresh milk. And when the milk stood a whyle there were cream above the milk. And often I were alloud to "snack" this cream with a little sugar. I even made budder with my "oma" (i am German) I just told her, that is a really deep memory of mine. Loved it. The name used in Germany is whole milk or raw milk. You can get it nower days not that easy as back than. Had to stop the video, it is not my theme, or to much my theme. Get well still.
"I'm doing the best I can with what I have" is going to be my mantra now. I was an athlete practicing ballet at a professional level for 20 years, plus other dancing techniques.
But it was not my career, I practiced it as a hobby. Then my career and kids took more time and left most dancing and exercise out due to time. And fast forward to 5 years ago when I had an accident that left my right (and dominant hand) partially disable per nerve damage and constant neural pain. Fast forward to today my 100% varies too much from day to day depending on my mobility and pain level. So I need to remind myself that it's okay to do what I can with what I have every given day
I feel like this was a solid view of Jackie in Teacher Mode! Very much felt like I was back in a college literary discussion course, just the professor and maybe a dozen students talking about a book. I would love to see you bringing on viewers/subscribers to have like... a classroom setting kind of thing where we get to see you leading a group discussion.
And I agree on the gossip topic, sometimes gossip is really important to share information and protect people. As an example in recent drama in the art community, if more people had talked about what was going on (allegedly) with a certain creator's behavior, maybe more people could have been spared the pain and trauma of dealing with it personally. Sometimes we have to come together as a community to protect each other from toxic people and gossip is a useful tool in doing that.

With the cream aspect of the conversation, it sounds kinda similar to clotted cream we have in the UK, although we don't have it on its own with honey, it's what we put on our scones with jam, and is that super thick spooning consistency, might be a good alternative if you can get your hands on it in Canada!
Oh my, yes!! I'm Canadian and was going to recommend this very thing!!
While it's harder to come by, it's definitely available!
We also have Double Cream in Australia which sounds similar- it’s a heavy, thick cream. So delicious and I love it on/with cake ☺️🤍
I was about to say the same thing definitely clotted cream 👍
This has became my Sunday ritual. Wakeup, get coffee, listen to Jackie's podcast! 😃
I love philosophical discussions and debates! That's what my bestie and I did in art class in the last year of school. So much fun!
I had to stop watching at half an hour for my mental health. Touching on things I've been doing in therapy. But on the plus side you've helped me realise where a phrase my parents used came from. They just took it too far. There's a difference between trying to teach a child that not everyone is "impeccable with their word", saying don't take it to heart, and using the same phrase to excuse their own bullying "jokes".
So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you, Jackie. You helped me find a missing puzzle piece bridging the gap between how I was as a small child and how I came to be this tangled version of myself
I'm loving the philosophical podcasts, Jackie! I was always a "weird" teenager, more interested in reading, critical thinking, and things like that, so I totally understand what you mean. I am going through a lot lately, treating myself really bad because I have severe depression and I can't study as much as would some months ago, and this video came just in time to help me remember that my 100% does not have to be the same everyday. I think it is something we all know deep inside, but do not want or are not able to apply, but we totally should! By the way, I hope you are feeling much better. Looking forward to you next podcast video. Lots of love from Spain! :)
Do the best you can with what you have, when you have it…. It was like a lighting strike to my brain. Having chronic autoimmune diseases, they really do rob you of what you had. It’s so so easy to judge yourself for failing and getting stuck in the belief that your lazy or horrible because you are no longer what you once where…. I think I have been slowly adjusting and internalising the acceptance and kindness I need to show myself to heal the pain of living “less” of a life than I used too, but having it put into such a succinct phrase really felt like a shock of relief. It feel like I’m on the right path and it’s okay to be okay with where I am at day by day- even though it differs so wildly sometimes. Thank you Jackie for sharing your thoughts again. Sending healing hugs and spoons for you!
I think what makes gossip so challenging is that it often is a form of comparison. And putting others down so a person feels better about themselves.
I also am overweight. The irritating thing with all these rights of certain groups of people affecting who you can joke about and how to not offend others is that weight is still a target. Comedians target overweight people frequently. You are also dismissed by others as having the right to an opinion or could possibly see things clearly. Medical people are the most challenging with this issue. An overweight person in an ER will be looked down on and dismissed extremely easily. And if you are a woman or have known mental health issues, you better have someone, preferably male, with you for them to listen.
The next 2 topics seem almost intertwined. So it makes sense to cover them together.
Not taking things personally is a big challenge, especially if it is negative towards myself.
Jackie you are totally right: as mean as gossip sometimes sounds it is a means of socialization. We get closer to each other. The problem is, when we take it to an extrem and badmouth about every human being. But for example: gossiping about the boss can make the team work harder together :) plus it is a stress relief
In spanish your "ishta" is called "nata" and I hated it because people never put that apart, so they serve you the Milo with that weird thing on top or they strain it before serving. But that was with the Milk we buy in the supermarket, pasteurized and all. Everybody seemed to love the nata. I rather not say how bad I disliked it. It has to do with texture and it felt like snot for me. 😥
Anyways. I hope you're having a great recovery Jackie! I hope you'll be able to do your favourite things in no time! Me and my boyfriend love your channels and we hope you keep growing!
Oh yes! Another great podcast to listen to! 😁
That Ishta (if that's how you spell it) sounds like what for us in Mexico is "nata", is basically a layer that forms on top of boiled milk when is getting cold, I know people use it to spread it on bread and we also have "pan de nata" which is really good, I can't explain it, sorry I just woke up 🤣🤣
Two things I love that you share your Egyptian history that absolutely fascinates me. Second this podcast in the previous one had been more helpful to me than months of going to counseling. I can’t thank you enough you’ll never know how much it means to me. Also i’ve suffered with chronic pain and medical issues for over 30 years now and seeing how do you Handle your issues with such grace definitely has an impact on me personally thank you from the bottom of my heart
Thank you for talking about proper discussion and thinking.Too many people just think within their doctrine and accept the most awful things as being "right", just because someone in power says so.
I also had a lovely teacher guiding me through horrid time, but he didn´t know what I was really going through.
I have always been of the opinion that a true “right way” doesn’t exist. Because everyone has a different experience what’s right for them is different. This is why I wish people of differing opinions could have respectful conversation and truly try to understand each other, I love hearing your take on topics like this, it feels like we get to know you on a more personal level
I completely agree with your position on critical thinking! The loss of critical thinking in the education system is the greatest tragedy in the teaching process in the last hundred years!
The 'your 100% differs from day to do and from moment to moment' is helping me quite a lot (and so are these podcasts). I am a Spoonie, and used to have more energy than I do now, thanks to a few diseases/disorders (most notably Trigeminal Neuralgia, a very painful nerve disorder). I am also an Emotional Empath, and weighed down by these a bit atm. I am trying; my 100% today was lower than my 100% yesterday - but I'm still here, and still trying.
Thank you for the encouragement and explanations, Jackie! They do help! (-:
Romania, yas! Raw milk everywhere. You don't even have to find a farm, many people living in the countryside have cows, and they would happily sell you milk if you ask for it, or any other produce. It is so much fun to explore the different regions, even if we are not a big country we have a lot of regions with different traditions and so, and taste the different homemade foods.
You are such a wonderful human! Thank you for sharing this side of you Jackie. Our brains and how we deal with life is so similar. I relate to you so much. Especially with health issues, philosophical beliefs, being a teacher etc LOL. We are getting older and wiser eh? Being impeccable with your words is important but so is INTENTION. Your intention comes thru if the words do not come out the way we plan. I personally do not indulge with gossip, I find that it brings bad karma, but it could just be in my own head. I know people in my past have spoken poorly about me, so I choose to NOT participate in the gossip. We never truly know what others are going thru. Much love and respect to you hun. I enjoy your deep dives and of course your creativity with your crafts.
Thank you! My heart was in great need of hearing this today! ❤ Thank you for being so open about your autoimmune disorder! Your willingness to share has on multiple occasions brought me great comfort in knowing I am not along when it comes to my own autoimmune disorder struggles.
I’ve told my husband a hundred thousand times, Say what you mean and mean what you say. I’ve always tried to live by that. However, not every thought someone has needs to be spoken. I feel like too many people on the internet don’t follow this.
Another great episode of Coffee and Conversation.
I really enjoyed listening to your opinions. It really hits home with the negative comments which usually come from family and end up being a stigma in your life. As for gossip, I totally associate it with a negative connotations and it is the most basic form of communication that people usually use to make themselves feel better.
Thank you, Jackie. it's crazy because I'm going through some rough weeks and all I've been doing is watch your videos. They are so soothing and so helpful. Thank you again
I try and start this idea with young children. The little boy (aged 6) I nanny often asks me questions like “how long is the Wall of China?”, “how high/far can a German Shepherd dog jump?”, “could a crocodile/alligator crush a car if it bit it?”, and I will often ask him what he thinks, then I’ll give my opinion and then we check in a book/online. I love encouraging him to ask all his questions, and I even learn stuff sometimes!
“Boil your own milk”
My mom had to do that when she lived in India!
But, now we live in North America!
Ya I'm indian too
I'm crying. Thank you... really thank you for talking about all this stuff. I missed these words for a very long time ... And they were literally important to me. Now I feel a little better and it means much more than it might seem at first glance. thanks
Loving finding out more about Egyptian culture. It's so interesting ❤
Thank you for this info. I am your oldest subscriber so I have lost most all of my friends and family. I feel that a lot of this sounds a bit like be kind, honest and helping when you can as long as you are being kind to yourself...My childhood was so full of sex, verbal, and 👱♂emotional abuse. It takes years to learn to trust others💯. Or feel loved...Yes go on, and I will be there.👏👍👌 Thank you dear Jackie for showing us this side of you. Love to you. 🙏for your health.❤❤❤
Hello Jackie.. I feel so good when u share our Egyptian culture to the world and talk about it with such passion ❤️😊😍
"Anything is negative if you take it to extreme" Absolutely. I try to tell people this all the time. I can relate to a lot of what you are saying. I have never read this book, which I'm surprised, but I have heard a lot of this before. I am going to have to give this book a read. With the impeccable with your word, O have learned to be to assertive while speaking, I'm not sure if it goes along with that or not. I also get the saying certain things can program you, if you keep telling yourself something you will eventually believe it, whether it be positive or negative. I love getting to know you. 💜
The quote about keeping your word impeccable, I take that to mean not being self deprecating, which I was the queen of for a long time. Also, thinking people are gossiping/badmouthing me when I am left out of a conversation or people are laughing and giggling across the room from me. So empowering now to think ‘Ah well, even if they are, who cares!’
I think the best way to tell if gossip is bad is the intent of the speaker. Are they getting a laugh out of other's misfortunes and trying to hurt them or they trying to caution the listener away from a person or activity.
It's best to avoid bad gossipers because they spread bad feelings and will likely turn on anyone, including you, if they feel they can get a good story out of it.
We also boil our milk on Colombia, in big cities that's not a thing anymore, but in small cities it is still very common, the cream that accumulates in the top we call it "nata" 😄
The coffee chats are my favorite, also one of my fav things to do anytime, even though most of my friends drink tea...
'Weird milk' ... For part of my earlier childood, my dad worked for a farmer and would bring fresh milk home in big gallon glass jugs... The milk would separate while sitting in the fridge, my dad always took the thicker cream from the top... We would let each layer separate,pour off the cream, and by the botyom of the jugs,it was the equivilant to skim milk... We then had to heat the milk to pasteurize it before drinking... Now there is a milk truck that delivers,my son is thrilled at getting milk in glass jugs...
'Internal dialog 'is a tough on to get a hold of, After 50yrs i had a conversation with myself... Basicly,it's my job to be my own best friend,back biting,stinking thinking and negative messaging, is not acceptable... When it starts up,which from time to time it does, I grab hold of it asap, thats not how friends treat one another... It takes practice, but it works for me...
Fries in a sandwich? That's a chip butty my girl! Yummo.
Jackie, you are the affirmation I needed today. I needed to hear that I am doing good. I needed to hear that I am enough.your podcasts are like catching up with a good friend I haven't talked to in a while and I wanted to thank you for that. I hope your recovering from your surgery well 💕
Arthur Ashe : "Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can."
Captain Picard (Star Trek: The Next Generation): "It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not weakness. That is life."
And then the mother of all quotes that get me through:
Lewis Carroll: "We're all mad here."
Hello Jackie. Ty ! So very much for your talk. I was feeling low and your talk has helped me be much happier. I know this program is a year old. Ty for making my day for all your videos
I think I will be emailing you soon. I was listening and I started to cry because I so fall into why am I not get enough. Some of your other coffee talks have really hit home and I want to share with you without. Putting everything out there. All this to say thank you for just being how you are.
I live in California and had family that had cattle. I LOVED the milk straight from the cows! My mom would make butter, cheese and, yes, CREAM! I miss this. Sometimes I was allowed to put a drinking glass under the cow and get my milk that way. Yummmmmm
I love listening to these while I work and as someone who also loves to converse about philosophical topics, I especially loved this episode.
Often, there's a singular event in a relationship that represents that relationship in it's entirety. Recognizing it is often difficult at the time, but later is seems so clear. Learning to break the cycle first involves recognizing the pattern. I have broken the cycle, but I don't know how to fix it.
There is a very thick cream like that in some areas of Turkey. It is so delicious!
Mint tea is good for digestion and bloating especially after meals.
I live in Washington State in the US and there are some dairy farms that are certified to sell raw milk. Love it.
This 4 agreement really hit me ♥️♥️ i really need to hear this in so many ways ♥️ thank you Jackie for this wonderful lessons 🥇🌈 sometimes I don’t think you how much you’re here for us and this is why we are so loyal, and why here so much on your channel♥️♥️♥️ thank you for creating this safe space to be special wired and funny♥️♥️♥️ love all the way ♥️♥️♥️
Hey Jackie, I found your channel a little while ago and I've been binging your videos like everyday! Just wanted to say how great your channel is and how much I appreciate you! You're so comforting to listen to because you're just an awesome person and that totally shines through in your videos! Im currently recovering from PTSD, and I'm super crafty like yourself so watching you make things has been my absolute favourite and has kept me feeling creative even when I haven't been! I just have so much love for your channel and I hope you know your videos are helping many a people I'm sure like myself simply because you're an awesome grain!! So thank you sm, and I hope you are keeping well. *hugs to you* 😊
I think the most important is the first one about speaking the truth bc if we speak the truth, esp to ourselves, then we can be happy and more at ease. I've been reading the power of now for over a year now. Yeah, I know... but like you said it's circular, so its like I'll pick it up from time to time as a reminder and to get a slightly different perspective on what's going on.
It's illegal in North America to sell. However, if you partner with a farmer, you can legally own a portion of the cow, like owning a portion of a stock without owning the whole stock. And so, you can get the raw milk from the cow you own, legally. The unsaid portion is that you will boil your own milk you receive from your cow, but some people don't. I have some friends and colleagues who grew up on dairy farms. One even talked about how she had her raw milk in an open pit her or jug in the fridge and there would be this film that developed on top and she would peel it off when she went to get milk. Not sure if she ever ate it, if it was safe or not to eat (legally).
Liked the vid even before starting.. i know this is gonna be amazing!
I'm still learning to never forget what somebody did to me. I tend to be angry, sad and after a while I rationalize peoples behaviour. Then I forget and the cycle repeats itself again. I don't know if it's some kind of coping mechanism from nearly constant manipulation and gaslighting. Maybe people who are stuck in toxic relationship have similar problem.
I honestly needed to hear a lot of this especially being told I’m doing my best with what I’ve got (I know directly) but considering what’s going on at the moment, I needed that - thank you Jackie 😊
I enjoy listening you. The pain you have endured can be heard thru your kindnes toward others. It's easier to be kind to other, I think. It shouldn't be that way.. seeing positive representation of yourself is SO important. Especially for children and teenagers. I'm so happy, that you are being a such a wonderful role model for future content makers 💜
And it would be so much fun to have a proper conversation / debate.. maeby someday somewhere!
Wishing you speedy recovery, lots of painless hours and days!
You are an inspiration to us all.
I love listening to your stories, they are captivating. I would of really loved school if I’d had a teacher like you.
In Arkansas, there are a few dairies here that have special permits to sell raw milk directly to individuals. The heavy cream that rises to the top when cooking is called butter cream here. It is removed from "grocery store milk".
I also wrote quotes ( from books, TV shows, inspiring people) in my homework diary. I love Criminal Minds because each episode begins and ends with an inspiring/thought-provoking quote!
Oh! When I was a kid, I couldn't drink cow milk (I still can't by the way). So my parents went early Sundays to a goat farm and bought goat milk for me and my sister. So every Sunday morning the house will smell like the goat milk candy known as cajeta because my parents were boiling the milk (and smells similar) and we had that type of cream from the top of the boiled goat milk and it was amazing! We ate it both salty or sweet, depending to what we added it to (corn tortilla/bread with avocado and salt or flour tortilla/bread with jam). I guess is something similar to cottage cheese or cream cheese. Just less "cheesey".
I live in México by the way, and while I don't think it's prohibited to sell raw milk, it's not easy to get if you live in a city. It's easier on the country side near farming and cattle ranches (
there are tons a couple of counties near the city I live).
Nowadays even goat milk is hard to buy because it is mostly used in the candy industry. And with cow milk, most of it goes to the pasteurize plants, so they don't sell to locals much.
Mmmm I would love to try Ishta! The closet I’ve tried of that yummy cream on top is a product from Alexandre Family farm organic A2/A2 whole milk. It’s refrigerated in the stores over here in California. I would love to try Egyptian method straight from the pot 😋
I certainly enjoy our time together. In listening, we learn.
Have you tried British clotted cream? Clotted cream is traditionally made by heating fresh cow's milk, then setting and cooling it for hours in a shallow pan. This thick cream has at least 55% butterfat. You can usually buy it in jars in British shops (or fancy cheese shops). It’s heavier than whipped cream - kept in the refrigerator it’s almost like whipped butter. It’s put on scones with jam - absolutely delicious!!! It sounds fairly close to the Egyptian cream.
pepermint tea is something that will clear out your breathing and settle your stomach, and I love it. But having your really think cream in coffee or tea sounds delicious!
Didn't listen to this until Thursday, but today was the day I needed this most. I'm feeling like a failure today.
Im from Pakistan and we too have to boil the milk .
In pakistan the cream is called "milai" and we put sugar in it and eat it with bread or "naan" bread
OMG we do fried fries sandwich too! In the UK we call them Chip Butties! We also make Sausage Butties! which is sausages in a bun too :3 they are so good! Oh and Crisps in bread too XD us brits like our carbs too XD
My favourite is the humble bacon buttie. (-:
I like to make up my own opinion about a person regardless of what I hear about them from others. Unless I hear that they're a serial killer, then I can make up my mind pretty quick 😨
Good morning Miss Jackie! I am getting so excited about the Craft kit coming in August!!!!
My eldest daughter loves this channel and is so excited that Jackie has made a craft kit. Unfortunately I've lost my job and can't afford the kit for my daughter, so I'm going to have to wait and see if it comes out again later this year, or even next year, and try to buy it for her after I get another job.
I felt 100% all of what you were saying. Thanks Jackie
In Belgium you can buy your milk at the farm. And that is fresh cow milk, or goat milk or horsemilk. You have to cook it yourself or you ask it at the farm to cook for you. But they also do it in a pot and cook it up to 100degrees...
I think of gossip as speaking untruths about people, or sharing secrets. The gossip of women doing laundry together, I’m sure, helped keep villiages together as a community for ever and ever, but we all know the eye of the gossip on us, right? Knowing they’re going to make stuff up or start saying negative things about totally innocent stuff. So I can see where not everything that is “talking about people” is “gossip”. It’s been a looong time since I read the Four Agreements too, though. But that idea that people do things because of their own univese was really important for me as a you ger adult. And deserves revisiting al the time like “omg why am I left at read? What did I do!?” becomes, oh that person is busy and I can support them by being understanding of that.
I love how you talk about food in every episode. It's always neat to get insights into how different cultures use and eat food and ashta sounds delicious. Every time you and Sika talk about being petty or protective of food I TOTALLY RELATE lol
I wish I had had someone like you as a professor. Most of mine were awful. I had two professors who required a citation or reference at the end of every sentence, which still baffles me to this day. When I challenged them during their office hours, saying I wanted to form my own critical opinion about the subject, and argue my point using existing theory or challenge existing theory, I was cut down. Do you know how long it takes and how much you DON'T learn making sure that EVERY sentence you write in an 10+ page paper is cited?
The discussion on the four agreements is fascinating. I find the second agreement maybe the most challenging personally. I also mistreat myself by wishing I was where I used to be, and I think doing your best, whatever your best is, is potentially the most important. I'm also not a fan of Eckhart Tolle!
And if you're anything like me, you've tried almost everything to feel better physically, but just in case, I want to mention aqua therapy. Exercising in the pool has been a game changer for me and tends not to trigger any of my chronic pain unless I go at my exercises too hard or for too long. Thank you for another great episode!
In Mexico we sometimes also boil the milk and this cream that you said it's call "nata“ and yes it is delicious. I really love it when it forms from " arroz con leche" (sweet milk and rice usually also with cinnamon)
Omg! Same milk thing happens in India!, we call it 'malai'. We can make so many things with it . We use it for making 'ghee' with it only if you know what it is , it is pure butter. We get the milk from the dairy directly and if we get the pure cow or buffalo milk it make such good thick malai (the cream she talked about) and it's just sooo good if you take it and put sugar in it ,mix it and eat it it's just so amazing in itself. We even it that mixture putting on toast, which tastes amazing as well. And u can add onions , carrot and capcicum etc. Chopped mic it with ishta(I hope I spelled it right) with some spices and salt put it on bread , add some butter on pan and cook it. And believe me it tastes amazing and is a great breakfast I like to have and my mum makes it for me.
Ok so I googled the unpasteurized milk sells and there’s a few places in the US that sell raw milk and so far the only illegal thing from my understanding is selling raw milk through a state to state sell.
I live in Northern Colorado USA. Even though it is very much a rural, farming community ~ but I can't buy raw milk without a permit. This government is such a "nanny", taking away our options to make our own choices. Sigh.
In Brazil, I guess that "milk cream" looks like "Nata" or maybe more like "Ricota"? So glad that you are feeling better!! 💗
Nata sounds more accurate. I think ricotta has additional processes
@@nassj6593 Yes, I guess so. Ricota is also salty, more like cheese than creamy too...
