    Hey Mikey! I was actually the employee that worked at BLKDog Coffee that made your Green Tea & your Beignets! First off thank you! We've been so so incredibly busy since you came by and everyone has been so kind, we've sold out of beignets every single night since you've been by. (the Owner has no clue to why) Thank you again and I think a defogging spray like the kind people use for their car windshield should solve your lens fogging problems!

      Usually it's men who open envelopes like that by tearing the end off, so I would guess your culprit is a male. With everyone having remote locks now, I imagine there is some kind of tool out there that can scan radio waves until it hits the one for your car. I don't know this for a fact, but it makes sense to me that such a device would exist. The weird thing is they took the time to open the envelope and leave it behind instead of just grabbing it and taking the whole thing. Why risk the chance of getting caught while opening it instead of just grab and run?

In this case it may have had a purpose to it as he did say he had it in a cup holder so they probably put it back with the open side down. It seems they planned something using his identity and the longer the time before he noticed, the more time they had to put their scam in operation.

    I remember watching your videos when you would cook in your NY apartment. I was a college student that time so those recipes came in clutch! I'm 32 now, moved to Houston and started my family. It's so fun to see your channel grow the way it has and I find myself here looking for recommendations now. Even my parents binge your channel at night ☺️

    P.S. That H-mart you went to is probably the smallest of the ones in Houston. I recommend the one in Katy or the one on Blalock.

    It took me 3 attempts to get my Texas drivers license, I drove 45 outside of Houston to go to a DPS (dmv equivalent) to avoid a line. Avoided a line but I was missing a document. The second time I went to somewhere closer, waited in line before it even opened but when I got inside the power went out completely and everyone was sent home (this was after waiting 3hours).

    5:10...the college noodle soup story. I had a 'go to' recipe too. My mom taught me to make a simple stir fry with beef slices, peas and onion. I WAS 10!!! By the time I got to college I'd perfected the technique. While other students were boiling eggs for egg salad sandwiches, I'd been stir frying peppers with char siu and bak choi at the college residence. (I picked up a few ideas when I was a busboy in H/S for a couple of summers)
