Youtube daily report Apr 9 2017

Hello and welcome to Organic Edible Garden and now Kitchen.

We're really excited today to have Megan May from Little Bird Organics being able to use some of our produce from our garden and our orchard and turn them into delicious dishes.

Thanks Rob. It's a real pleasure to join the team.

Today I'm going to make a grilled eggplant dish with a bed of Baba Ganoush and then topping it with a beautiful walnut fennel seed dukkah.

And today in the garden we're going to be planting some perpetual spinach which will take us all through winter, 'cos it's a good time at the moment to plant your leafy greens.

And later on we're going to be joined by Nellie, a nutritionist and naturopath, who's going to explain why fresh fruit and vegetables are so important.

Let's go and pick some of those eggplants, Megan.

Perpetual spinach, which is a type of silverbeet or chard, is one of the easiest winter vegetables to grow.

And anybody can grow it in a container or a garden bed, as long as you get your soil right.

To get the soil right you need to build up your bed with some good rich, organic matter.

And because these guys are green leafy vegetables, they need their nitrogen and phosphorus to grow well.

If you use a fertiliser with too much potassium, it'll only encourage them to go to seed.

Good examples of this type of fertiliser could be blood and bone or sheep pellets and chicken manure.

Anything with a high nitrogen content.

Along with the compost I've added some well-rotten chicken manure to this bed.

It's also raised it up which is great during winter when drainage is an issue.

The other thing I need to add to this bed is some lime.

Any of the chard family are quite sensitive to acidic soils, so we're going to add some garden lime to this.

What it's going to do, it's going to sweeten the soil and hopefully bring it up to a pH of about 6.8.

Lime also adds the ever-important calcium to our bed.

And finally I'm just going to add a bit more of our volcanic rock dust with seaweed in, just to make our plants nutrient-dense.

We're going to lightly work our lime and our rock dust into the soil.

I'm going to plant about a dozen plants in a bed this size and this will be enough to feed us over the winter period.

The reason I'm planting perpetual spinach over silverbeet in this bed is that, although it's the same family, it's smaller growing and has a softer leaf.

It doesn't have the oxalic acid that silverbeet has, but I can still use it in the same way.

But the smaller leaves, unlike silverbeet, I can still eat raw in salads.

I'm giving these guys a bit of distance between them - about 40 centimetres either way.

They use a lot of energy from the soil, so this gives them more space for the roots to grow.

Also it gives them more air movement to prevent rust and other fungal diseases.

If you've got a small garden and can't practise crop rotation, all you can do is put newspaper round your plants and cover it with a mulch.

The rust spores live in the soil and bounce up when the rain comes, but by doing this it'll be a good preventative.

If you do have rust on your leaves, take those leaves off and dispose of them - not in cold compost because it'll only transfer the spores back into the garden again.

Feed them up well and they should take off.

Perpetual spinach and silverbeet grow best during the winter months, but you need to be careful that they still get enough light during this growing period.

If you grow them in the shade they tend to stretch towards the light and grow weak and spindly.

And don't forget about planting some flowers.

The beneficial insects that have built up their population over the summer months need something to feed on over winter.

So today we're just going to plant some dianthus, but there's a whole range of winter flowers you can do for this.

We'll give them a bit of water to bed them in and then we're going to cover them with nets to protect them from the birds and we should be eating out of this bed in about 6 weeks.

I really love eggplant season.

They're one of our favourite vegetables to use.

They make a great main ingredient for a dish.

They're just an all-round great staple to use especially if you're eating a more plant-based diet.

So one of the only things you need to do for eggplant preparation is salt them and that's to take out some of the bitter flavour.

I'm going to chop off the ends. I probably won't use the very ends.

And then chop them into rounds that are about 1 centimetre thick.

And I'm going to pop them in the tray here.

And then salt them with a generous amount of salt.

You're going to wash the salt off, so don't worry if you think it's going to, you know, be too salty.

And then continue with the rest of the eggplant and I'll just layer them up on top of each other.

So I'm going to leave those there to salt for around 10 minutes and while I'm doing it we're going to make the next part which is a really delicious type of dukkah.

I'm going to take my pan and pop the spices in there.

I've got 2 teaspoons of cumin seed.

And these whole spices are really easy to get from your organic store or an Indian store as well.

We've got 2 teaspoons of coriander seed.

And one teaspoon of fennel seeds.

As well as a half teaspoon of black pepper.

So we're just going to toast those spices for around 2 minutes until they become very fragrant.

I'll do this on a medium heat. You don't want this to get too hot or it will burn the spices.

OK, so this is done.

The seeds are nice and sort of golden and the smell is beautiful.

So I'm going to pop these in the pestle and mortar with my walnuts and salt.

So we'll chuck those in there.

Half a teaspoon of good flaky salt.

And then a half cup of walnuts.

So these walnuts, you could do lightly toasted walnuts, but I do an activated walnut which means I've soaked them and then dried them.

I do this to break down the phytates on them and make them more digestable.

They're also really delicious this way.

So I'll take my pestle here and give these a good crush.

I'm not trying to make this into a paste.

I'm just really trying to give them a little crush to release some of the oils from the walnuts and give a little bit of variation and texture to the seeds.

You could also do this in a food processor and give it a few little pulses.

You really don't want to over-blend this.

It's delicious and I was just trying to see if I needed any more salt but that's perfect.

I'm going to pop this in a bowl and we're going to use it on top of our beautiful grilled eggplant dish.

Next I'm going to cut some onion and I'm going to slice it and put it in some iced water.

It just takes some of the strength of the flavour out of the onion.

You could just chop it as it is but some people don't love that intense onion flavour, so this is just a nice little thing you can do.

And put that aside with my eggplants there which are coming along nicely.

You should be able to see the little droplets of moisture coming out of there and that's what the salt's doing is drawing some of the moisture out of there which has the bitterness in it.

OK, so the next thing we're going to do is make the Baba Ganoush which sits at the bottom of the plate.

I have some eggplants that I've grilled in the oven.

So I just left them in the oven for around 40 minutes.

They're whole and I just pierced them.

It's really important you pierce them otherwise they can burst.

And the oven was around 230 degrees - so a really hot oven.

And inside you can see they're all soft and squishy.

And we're going to take the skin off and get that yummy soft flesh out to use for the Baba Ganoush.

So it's almost kind of similar to, like a grilled banana.

It's kind of a little sticky and soft and it's actually a little sweet as well.

So Baba Ganoush has some garlic and lemon in there.

I really like garlic so I've got 2 cloves in here.

You could just do it with one.

And we also have some cumin seed in here.

Not whole cumin seed - actually some cumin powder.

So I'll do a teaspoon of that in there.

You could add a little more to taste of that.

For this lemon I'm going to chop it. I'm going to chop this skin off and just throw the inner part of it in whole.

It's a little bit of a hard lemon so I'm not going to get much juice out of it by squeezing by hand.

And because it's going in the blender, I can just put that flesh in there and blitz it up.

Then I'm going to add some tahini which is an important part of this dish.

I'm going to add 2 tablespoons there.

Roughly. It also depends on your tahini or how much you like the flavour of tahini.

So you can add that a little bit to taste as well.

So I'm going to place this all in the blender and I might add a little bit of oil in there.

So when I was tasting that, it doesn't need any oil.

The tahini's got lots of fat in it so it creates that creaminess in the Baba Ganoush.

And I'm going to be using oil on the eggplant anyway so it just doesn't need it. It's perfect as it is.

And then add a couple of pinches of salt.

I'm going to put that aside now.

And we're going to work with our eggplant.

So as you can see, there's all this beautiful water that's come out of there.

I'm going to rinse that off and then dry the eggplant.

So I'm going to take this tea towel and place them on there.

You could use paper towels but a tea towel works great and it saves us using paper towels.

OK, so they're nice and dry.

So I can get grilling.

So the pan's nice and hot, sort of a medium to high heat. You can see a little bit of steam coming off there.

Then I'm going to place them down.

Put them around the pan.

OK, I'm going to leave the eggplants in there for a couple of minutes to start browning.

Now if you have a griddle pan with the sort of lines like a grill pan or you could actually do this on your barbeque would be ideal.

I don't have one of those so this is the pan I use to do them and it works just fine.

You can see that they're nice and black. What's really important here is that they're cooked through the middle.

You'll be able to feel that there, you don't want any hard bits - it's nice and soft in there but it's still retaining its shape.

So you'll notice that I haven't used any oil in the pan.

You really want to grill eggplant dry, otherwise it'll become mushy and sort of burnt.

But it's really important that these are nicely cooked through the middle.

Eggplants are done, everything else is ready.

Now to dress up the plate.

One thing I'm going to do actually is add a little bit of olive oil to the eggplant and just fold that through.

So I'm going to pop the Baba Ganoush on the bottom of the plate here.

So it's a generous amount there and I'll save a little bit to the side.

Just really on the bottom of the plate there and then I'm going to build it up.

First of all I'm going to pop some greens on here.

I've got some Russian Red kale.

This is nice and soft but kale always benefits from a little massage, so I'm just going to crush it a little bit in my hands as I'm throwing it over.

Kale is one of the most nutrient-dense foods you can have so it's a really good thing to add into your diet.

Now for some herbs in here.

It's a real key part to this dish is having lots of herbs so I've got a big handful of parsley here.

This is really nice soft parsley. If it was a bit hardier you'd want to chop it up a bit.

This is nice and soft so I'm just going to tear it.

Then I've got some mint which is nice and fragrant.

Obviously the herbs you can interchange with other ones. If you don't like mint, leave it out.

Coriander would be great in here - just any of the nice leafy soft herbs.

You could use other greens here - the kale's not essential - just any sort of leafy green.

Some nice lettuce or mesclun would be great.

I'm going to take the onion that was done in the ice and just drain that.

Scatter that on top there.

And then pop our eggplant on.

Finally I'm going to top with a generous amount of the dukkah that we made earlier.

And lastly some of Rob's stunning micro amaranth.

You can see that gorgeous colour in there - it's really vibrant, makes a beautiful garnish, it tastes great and looks beautiful.

And there you have it - a beautiful eggplant feast for you to share with the family.

Ooo, that's a really nice way to serve eggplant.

Oh thanks Nell. That walnut dukkah that I've made goes beautifully with the nice sweetness of the eggplant.

Mmm fantastic.

So eggplants, the main thing I love about eggplants is this beautiful purple colour and that's due to flavonoids which are plant phytonutrients, and that's what gives them their amazing colour.

And eggplant's particularly high in one of those compounds called nasunin.

The great thing about nasunin is it helps relax blood vessels so it promotes the circulation of blood, especially to our heart, which is really important.

It also binds with cholesterol in the body and lowers the cholesterol in our body.

And it also is incredibly protective for our brain cells.

The most important thing about nasunin is that it actually binds with any excess iron in the body and carries it out of the body.

So we all need iron. It carries oxygen around our body and provides energy.

But sometimes our levels can get too high, in certain situations, and that can lead to problems with things like liver disease or heart disease or inflammatory conditions like arthritis or diabetes.

The other really important compounds in eggplant are plant phenols and phenols protect the plant from any environmental stresses or bacterias and moulds.

And so when we eat that, we really benefit from it as well.

And I think Megan talked about how when you cut into an eggplant, you should salt it to draw out the bitter compounds.

Those are the phenolic acids, so when you salt it, it draws the moisture out, then you can wipe it off, but you still get the great benefit of the phenols from the food.

Hymn to Love - Lascelles Abercrombie (Poem narrated by Jordan Harling) | Jordan Harling Reads - Duration: 2:09.

We are thine, O Love, being in thee and made of thee,

As thou, Love, were the deep thought And we the speech of the thought; yea, spoken

are we, Thy fires of thought out-spoken:

But burn'd not through us thy imagining Like fierce mood in a song caught,

We were as clamour'd words a fool may fling, Loose words, of meaning broken.

For what more like the brainless speech of a fool,--

The lives travelling dark fears, And as a boy throws pebbles in a pool

Thrown down abysmal places?

Hazardous are the stars, yet is our birth And our journeying time theirs;

As words of air, life makes of starry earth Sweet soul-delighted faces;

As voices are we in the worldly wind; The great wind of the world's fate

Is turned, as air to a shapen sound, to mind And marvellous desires.

But not in the world as voices storm-shatter'd, Not borne down by the wind's weight;

The rushing time rings with our splendid word Like darkness filled with fires.

For Love doth use us for a sound of song, And Love's meaning our life wields,

Making our souls like syllables to throng His tunes of exultation.

Down the blind speed of a fatal world we fly, As rain blown along earth's fields;

Yet are we god-desiring liturgy, Sung joys of adoration;

Yea, made of chance and all a labouring strife, We go charged with a strong flame;

For as a language Love hath seized on life His burning heart to story.

Yea, Love, we are thine, the liturgy of thee.

Thy thought's golden and glad name, The mortal conscience of immortal glee,

Love's zeal in Love's own glory.

Kako odabrati pravi faks? Novac ili ljubav?│Eva Bosh - Duration: 2:52.

Hi everyone, welcome to another video!

Today I'm sharing some advice. Life advice.

When I talk to my friends and acquaintances, we often talk about the jobs we do

and what we would have studied if we hadn't studied what we initially chose.

Most of us say that we would probably have chosen something else.

Mostly because when we were 18 and just had finished high-school, we had no idea what to expect of life.

To all the people who are thinking about enrolling into a university program, I'd suggest

to think more about the job that they would like to do when they graduate, rather than the uni program itself.

If you'd like to become a doctor, of course you're going to study medicine.

But don't just go into medicine if it seems interesting but you don't want to deal with jobs that medicine leads to.

(Of course, you can always change your mind later and do something completely different after uni.)

I think that you should look at your uni experience only as a stepping stone to reaching your goals.

Another important question is the question of whether to choose a well-paid career path

or something that you feel passionate about.

Money is extremely important!

I realized just how important only when I finished uni and started working and earning my own money.

That's when I fully grasped the saying that money doesn't grow on trees.

I've been extremely lucky to have grown up in a household where I never lacked anything I needed.

But I wasn't aware of the amount of work that goes into earning specific amounts of money

and how much money it takes to afford certain things.

However, when you look at the occupation you are choosing

bear in mind that that's what you will most likely be doing for the rest of your life

and that you will spend most of your life working.

That's why I think that the love and passion for what you are doing are more important than money.

No amount of money can replace the feeling of fulfilment you have when you do a job you love

or the feeling of resentment when you do a job you hate.

Those dollar notes or the zeros in your account are worth nothing if you aren't happy.

At the end of the day, you are the master of your own destiny

(this sounds like something from those Mexican soap operas XD)

and if you get in charge of your life and work hard, you'll be able to get to your desired wealth

no matter what job you are doing.

Because passion is the best driving force in reaching your goals!

So after what sets your soul on fire and the money will come naturally, I'm sure of it!

♡ Re:Zero Rem Nail Art ♡ - Duration: 8:31.

Hello, it's Minnie!

Today in this video, I'll be creating a design inspired by Rem from Re:Zero.

She is my favorite character from the anime, I hope you enjoy!

I'm going to start with a peel off base coat so that I can seal the design with a gel top coat.

For my ring finger, I'm using a circle nail vinyl to create a deep french tip.

Apply plenty of nail polish to get rid of the brush streaks.

Remove the vinyl, and before the nail polish is completely dry, I'm going to apply this

aurora mirror powder by gently tapping onto the nail.

Then start rubbing until it becomes shiny.

Just be careful not to rub too hard, because the polish underneath is still soft.

Now I'm going to add 2 types of glitter onto the french line.

The first one is this dark blue glitter.

I have mixed it into top coat so that I can apply using a brush.

This is the second glitter, which is a brighter blue than the first one.

I'm spreading the glitter thinly towards the tip.

I'm going to place some flowers and a pearl along the french line.

Place a crystal and some glitter in the middle of the flowers to complete.

For my middle finger, I'll start with a white half moon shape on the base of the nail.

And then I'm going to apply the same polish that I used for my ring finger,

creating a round shape at the top.

Once again, apply a mirror powder before it dries fully.

Mix the glitter with a top coat and apply around the polish line.

Now, I'm going to cut this foil sheet into a triangle shape to imitate Rem's horn.

Apply top coat in the middle and then place the triangle.

Place a flower in between the 2 circles.

It's hard to see, but sometimes the foil changes color to bright pink, and it really looks

like Rem's horn, and that's what I like about it!

Moving onto some hand painting.

As always, I'm going to start with the head using pale skin color acrylic paint.

When your adding another layer on top, make sure to dry the previous layer.

Otherwise, your going to get a super uneven surface.

For the details of the face, I've made a light grey color, which is like the color of a pencil.

Because it's a light color, I found it easier to cover up the mistakes with a skin color paint.

I really like her blushing cheeks, so I'm going to add them using a small sponge and

pink acrylic paint.

Now I'm going to draw a rough outline of her hair, clothes and headband.

I'm going to start painting her hair with pale blue.

Add some white to the pale blue for the highlights.

Paint some shadows with dark blue.

Now, I'm going to paint everything that is white, at the same time.

Let's start adding some details using dark grey.

For the eyes, I always like to start with the lightest color, and then gradually add

some darker colors on top.

Add the sparkles with white.

I almost forgot to draw her bobby pins and ribbon, which is just fitting in.

I have applied a gel top coat to add a super shiny look.

Also, it's great to know that I can just peel it off, instead of soaking in acetone.

It's been a week since I did this design.

And the rest of my nails peeled off in the shower, but my thumb is still looking good.

So, I'm going to try peeling my thumb today.

I saw Cristine from Simply Nailogical was using cuticle oil to make it easier to peel,

so I'm going to apply some around the nail.

Then I start pushing (nope).

I thought I could just lift it up, but (nope).

I probably applied too much top coat and it was firmly stuck to the nail.

I almost thought that the peeling is not going to happen.

Ohh, luckily I found the way.

So, I worked my way through from the inside out.

And I made it, Yay!!

There is only one thing you've got to try with this is...

We open the door, we close the door, we open the door, we close the door.

There is a video link so that you guys know where this idea came from.

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this video.

And please leave your comments below, about what kind of nail art you'd like me to try next.

And don't forget to tag me when you recreate my designs.

Thank you for watching, and I'll see you in the next video!!
