PBN Daily News: The World of Ready and Risotto

[00:00:00] You are listening here to PBM. Your path back to stability here.

[00:00:30] April 28th, PBM Family 2024, a day that will live in infamy. No probably not. But April 28th, this Sunday, please, please get out.

[00:00:46] Well you don't really have to get out. Just get on your phone. Open up Amazon and search the world of ready by James Walton.

[00:00:56] Currently if I search the world of ready, the book doesn't come up. You have to type in James Walton in order to get it.

[00:01:02] That'll change as it is purchased on mass. But I need you to get your copy of the world ready. Everybody knows a kid. Everybody...

[00:01:11] You know what I mean? Get your copy please. Share this book around with everyone and let them know.

[00:01:20] There are different things that kids can spend their time learning. The world of ready is absolutely gorgeous. I mean it really is.

[00:01:30] The illustrator that I ran into, I don't even know if I could ever have her on the show but I'd love to.

[00:01:37] She did such an amazing job. And Evelyn Wesley who has done so much art for me in my life personally.

[00:01:47] It should be a compliment to say I expected no less than what she gave me because I don't know, you know, all my life.

[00:01:58] She illustrated the Christmas hook, the sketched black and white version of the Christmas hook.

[00:02:03] Evelyn did and brought my ideas from that story to life. She brought my town which I grew up into life in the Christmas hook.

[00:02:14] She brought Uda to life. She brought Kit to life and the characters in the story and the world of ready itself.

[00:02:20] And then Alicia, the illustrator who put sort of the computer animation, took our ideas, put them into computer animation so that they could be...

[00:02:31] Or digital, I don't know what it's called, digital animation. Just really just head down.

[00:02:38] Just detail, detail, detail, detail, detail and created a world that is...

[00:02:44] It's what I wanted. You know what I mean? I don't know how else to say it's the world that I wanted.

[00:02:49] You know and yeah. So April 28th, the world of ready is out.

[00:02:55] Book one, book one and Uda and Kit will teach Mallory and Conrad how to create a go bag to be prepared to evacuate from wildfires.

[00:03:07] Well let me read you the actual breakdown because that's fun.

[00:03:13] It's very short to the point. I'd say ideally four to six, four to eight, three to six, maybe if you like to read to your kids.

[00:03:24] I'd read a book like this to my kids from the time they were babies. So I put baby to eight.

[00:03:30] After about eight, I don't know if the world of ready is gonna work.

[00:03:34] It is a fantastical sort of environment, so maybe. My kids are Vikings, so it's hard.

[00:03:42] But you know who knows? I haven't even seen them with their hands on it yet.

[00:03:46] And physical copies... We're gonna have them at Prepper Camp of course.

[00:03:52] When wildfires threaten young Mallory and Conrad's home they discover a strange gift

[00:03:58] and embark on a journey to the world of ready. There they meet the creature Uda who teaches them all about preparedness.

[00:04:05] So yeah, get yours. Get yours. I do appreciate it. I'm gonna push it. Every time you hear me this week I'm gonna be pushing the world of ready

[00:04:13] and probably subsequent times in the weeks to come for those of you who are unawares.

[00:04:20] The better a book performs in the early stages, the better it will basically be set up to perform later.

[00:04:28] Look, a lot of things guys, like these podcasts, I don't get too eight up on performance.

[00:04:38] Well, my performance but I don't get too eight up on how many downloads we're gonna get on it.

[00:04:43] We do more promotion of PBN now than we ever have on a daily basis.

[00:04:47] And that's a good thing because our hosts are amazing. I do want the world of ready to perform well.

[00:04:53] I wanted to sell a lot and I wanted to wind up in the hands of a lot of kids.

[00:04:58] And like magic, as fate would have it, as God would lay it before me at my feet as a reminder this week

[00:05:08] that of what the mission is here with the world of ready.

[00:05:13] I wake up this morning and what's sitting in front of me is an article from Fast Company.

[00:05:23] There's a revolution happening in children's book publishing. You can thank the book bands.

[00:05:30] There's an image of three books that kids would never read, they're so huge on fire.

[00:05:34] Publishers are fighting back on book bands. Now listen to this.

[00:05:38] Flooding the market with books representing diverse points of view.

[00:05:43] So right off the bat you know what they mean by diverse points of view is

[00:05:51] young kids learning how to shoot and handle firearms effectively,

[00:05:56] young kids learning how to prepare for wildfires, disasters, emergencies, collapse of society, nuclear war.

[00:06:05] Right? There's probably another, a whole wave of books being produced.

[00:06:10] The diverse idea of you know falling in love and following the word of God.

[00:06:17] This is what they mean right? Let's read on just to verify. Elizabeth Sagan writes,

[00:06:23] Nicholas Smith knows a thing or two about book bands. The illustrators created five picture books over the last three years.

[00:06:29] Now these are picture books okay? Four of which have been yanked off library shelves.

[00:06:33] There's I Am Ruby Bridges about the Civil Rights icon. That flag about the Confederate flag.

[00:06:40] Born on the water which explores slavery and the artivist which features a child supporting trans kids.

[00:06:46] Picture book. Picture book. Tell me why a kid needs a picture book about supporting trans kids. Why?

[00:06:57] Now listen. If the kids can read, if the kids can do math up to you know their grade level,

[00:07:04] if the kids are going to school, if the schools are filled with teachers who can do the job well,

[00:07:10] if we're meeting the base requirements for education, then maybe we can talk about picture books featuring children supporting trans kids.

[00:07:25] You do realize. And they don't seem to realize this. And I think in all honesty, I said it weeks ago and I'm going to have to say it again and keep saying it.

[00:07:33] I think the generation that is in their activist phase, in their you know Nazi phase if you will.

[00:07:42] I don't know how else to describe what's happening across the country and on the campuses of the United States.

[00:07:48] Apparently this generation has what can only be described as a Nazi phase.

[00:07:53] Hey you guys want to get together and talk about killing off all the Jews this weekend?

[00:07:59] Yeah I'll be there again. Sure. Imagine you walked into a protest and you were like look,

[00:08:06] I really just want this killing to stop. I'm just against the killing altogether.

[00:08:12] I don't like the war that's happening over there. I wanted to end it. It breaks my heart that what happened to the Israelis,

[00:08:17] it breaks my heart what happened to the Ghazan and is happening to the Ghazan kids and innocents.

[00:08:23] And imagine you show up to this protest and you're like you know what?

[00:08:27] I'm going to do something for these people and try to make this war come to an end.

[00:08:30] And you roll up in that war and you hear people chanting about you know,

[00:08:35] let's make sure that what happened on October 7th happens every day.

[00:08:46] You start hearing people chanting death to America.

[00:08:50] What blows my mind guys is not that that couldn't happen to a person.

[00:08:56] It's not that you couldn't say to yourself I'm going to go be a steward of this situation.

[00:09:02] I'm going to go protest for these people who don't have a voice over there in Gaza.

[00:09:08] Right? It's not that you couldn't do that.

[00:09:13] What blows my mind is that you walk into this hellstorm of hatred and murder and Nazism,

[00:09:20] which is what it is.

[00:09:23] Why is my microphone set to? I am so sorry guys.

[00:09:26] I have my microphone set too far and I was yelling into it.

[00:09:31] What blows my mind is that you can walk into that nightmare, leave out of that nightmare

[00:09:42] and then say to yourself, alright guys I'll be back next weekend okay?

[00:09:48] I'll see you at the next rally. Death to the Jews, death to America. Peace.

[00:09:52] Gotta go to work.

[00:09:55] How does that work? How does that work?

[00:09:58] You know what I mean? There's only one group of people that would work with.

[00:10:01] Well maybe two. Jews and white people probably.

[00:10:05] But just imagine for a second you take let's make it personal because this is how insane

[00:10:11] this generation has become that's out here activizing and mating

[00:10:16] according with their stupid professors.

[00:10:21] Imagine you were like we're going to go to a pro-Trump rally, right?

[00:10:25] They're having a pro-Trump rally or they're having a pro-conservative rally

[00:10:28] or a pro-life rally, whatever.

[00:10:30] Some kind of rally that you would be interested in.

[00:10:34] And yeah I'm going to go to this rally man it's going to be a real cool rally.

[00:10:38] And by the way I'm stealing this point a little bit from Douglas Murray.

[00:10:42] I heard him talking about this and I thought it was a great parallel.

[00:10:47] So you go into this rally right?

[00:10:49] And you walk up and you're like you know what man I got my placard, I got my signage

[00:10:53] maybe even a chant or two I'll participate in you know America the beautiful whatever we'll sing it.

[00:11:00] And you walk up into that rally right?

[00:11:02] And amongst the things that the group is chanting they begin to chant for the death of all black people.

[00:11:14] Just imagine right you're out there you're shaming nice hat I love the shirt man you know we're going to take the country back

[00:11:21] we're going to get things fixed around here we'll get this inflation down get back to oil drilling for oil and you know stop all these wars.

[00:11:30] And then all of a sudden in tandem you see the group start chanting you know send all the black people back to Africa or whatever.

[00:11:38] Death to all the blacks.

[00:11:43] First of all anybody in their right mind is going to be like okay honey I'm going to go pull the car around this is not what I thought we were getting into it's time to get the hell out of here right.

[00:11:57] Anybody in their right mind.

[00:12:01] Now what is even more insane to me is that they walk away from a pro to walk away from that and then say I'll see you guys next week I'll be back huh.

[00:12:14] I'll be back next week I got a banger for you next week another chant you're going to love it.

[00:12:20] And then to create a whole entire attacks on the economy of the United States under the guise of this.

[00:12:33] Just imagine imagine you were sitting there and you heard something like that at a protest everybody had red MAGA hats on death to the black people you get get the car we're out of here.

[00:12:45] Get the car call the cops get the vehicle it's time to go we've we've tread into a nightmare here and we've got to get out.

[00:12:56] This happens every day in America now death to Jews genocide whatever doesn't matter it's all justified I don't care the young kids are out there.

[00:13:06] Doing their chance super gluing the ATM shot you didn't hear about Rhode Island in Rhode Island they super glued the ATM shut on April 15th in order to stymie the economy.

[00:13:19] On April 15th United States was attacked by Palestinians in either in name or in support OK that's what happened ports.

[00:13:29] It's just what happened they were open about it.

[00:13:33] It's not like I'm a commentator or some doofus in front of a microphone I am some doofus in front of a microphone but I'm not I'm not making some bold claim I'm not going like wow that's revolutionary thinking

[00:13:45] the Palestinian cause attacked the United States of America on the April 15th.

[00:13:50] No they said we have to stop and interrupt and disrupt the economy the United States of America.

[00:13:57] And they laid about exactly how they would do it I wrote a whole I mean I did a whole podcast on it last week.

[00:14:03] And that's what happened.

[00:14:06] Not a peep cop standing around you know maybe we'll lock a couple of them up and let them out tonight I don't know.

[00:14:13] So fundamentally guys the generation that is that is leading the activism right now you know I don't know what the demographic is 16 to 25 I don't know 18 to 25 whatever.

[00:14:28] Particularly in big cities and around universities.

[00:14:33] They're Nazis now.

[00:14:35] I mean I don't know how else to I don't know how else to describe them you know they were Nazis that caught babies on a plane.

[00:14:42] They were on bayonets.

[00:14:44] And then there were Nazis who ate dinner with their families at the dinner table and you know Hale Hitler.

[00:14:50] There are different degrees right.

[00:14:52] There are different degrees but everybody was complicit.

[00:14:57] And what the hell is happening all over the country right now.

[00:15:01] Everyone is complicit in the Nazi street takeover the United States.

[00:15:06] And so many people for so long you would get people in a corner and you would say what can you imagine if you were around when the Nazis showed up.

[00:15:15] Oh I'd kick those Nazi heads in.

[00:15:18] Mostly the people who would say those kinds of things would be people on the left who have now transformed into the Nazis which is you know just speaks to the old dad did you become what you despise right.

[00:15:30] Where is that from who wrote that it's Shakespeare isn't it.

[00:15:32] He's got to be.

[00:15:34] You become what you despise who wrote it.

[00:15:39] You become the thing that you hate on Reddit it says what does it mean to become what you hate from Reddit Carl Young.

[00:15:47] Oh that's great what does it mean what does it mean it means Columbia University that's what it means.

[00:15:52] The danger of becoming what you despise what's the origin.

[00:15:56] Origin.

[00:15:57] Sorry I'm doing a little on the fly just out of curiosity.

[00:16:02] Frederick Nietzsche.

[00:16:05] Is that true.

[00:16:07] That's funny.

[00:16:09] Frederick Nietzsche of all people.

[00:16:11] That which kills you makes you stronger but he who can eliminate him and even though I don't know how little it takes to make us happy one must still have chaos there are no facts only interpretations your words are not.

[00:16:22] It's madness and love convictions are more dangerous than.

[00:16:26] Convictions are more dangerous enemies of truths than lies Wow.

[00:16:31] Holy moly convictions are more dangerous enemies of truths than lies that we live in the age of conviction right.

[00:16:38] He cannot obey himself no no one can construct prices too high.

[00:16:42] Okay I don't know.

[00:16:45] So back to the book back to the book banning book bands aren't new the practices centuries old but over the past four years right wing organizations have been on a crusade to remove books from school libraries and classrooms.

[00:16:54] Now if I wrote a book called.

[00:16:56] Calls of the Year.

[00:16:58] Calls of the Year.

[00:17:00] Calls of the Year.

[00:17:02] Calls of the Year.

[00:17:04] Calls of the Year.

[00:17:06] Calls of the Year.

[00:17:08] Calls of the Year.

[00:17:10] Calls of the Year.

[00:17:12] Calls of the Year.

[00:17:14] Calls of the Year.

[00:17:16] Calls of the Year.

[00:17:17] Calls of the Year.

[00:17:19] init을

[00:17:36] nasty Republican with a beard gave Jacob a 22 rifle to shoot. Jacob is 8 years old and

[00:17:48] he can't wait to shoot his new rifle, but first he must learn how to handle it safely

[00:17:52] and which parts of the rifle are which and how it works. Do you think that would be a

[00:17:57] band book? Last school year these groups challenged more than 3,000 titles. That's

[00:18:07] scary in and of itself, right? 3,000 titles. The top reasons for contesting books is

[00:18:14] that they deal with LGBT, no, LGBT and so on. I don't say LGBTQ and all that. I'm

[00:18:22] not gonna say it. It's LBG. That's what you got, okay? Pick one. Shine a light on

[00:18:29] racism as someone who... who's out there banning books on racism by the way? I have

[00:18:36] heard none of this. I've never heard... I've heard tons of people go up in school

[00:18:41] boards and read straight-up pornographic erotica to the school

[00:18:45] board and then they get all red in the face and you need to stop reading that

[00:18:48] out loud. It's making me uncomfortable even though it's sitting in the school

[00:18:51] library, but I've never heard anybody say this book about fighting racism has got

[00:18:56] to go. In many cases librarians don't even bother buying them because they know

[00:19:02] parents will contest them. Well that's your fault for being weak. They don't

[00:19:08] even have a chance to be banned, quote he says. That's your fault if you

[00:19:12] believe in something. I mean what are you gonna say? How far would the

[00:19:16] world come if they say well I better not do that or something? I mean it's like a

[00:19:19] fundamental thing in life that you have to learn. Oh I better not buy that or I

[00:19:23] better not wear that or better not do that or people might say something. Come

[00:19:28] on guys. Where's your convictions? Alright so what's the... what's the

[00:19:34] goal here? The goal is interesting. The goal is from what I read earlier is

[00:19:42] to publish even more books on these subjects. Our books are about people... here

[00:19:49] we go. Of the 4,500 kids books that came out in 1994 only 8% were by... by or

[00:19:55] about by BIPOC people. I don't know what that means. Too many acronyms. Our

[00:20:02] books are about people who have been omitted from history so this wave of

[00:20:06] book bans is familiar to us he says. The groups ban books under the guys

[00:20:10] of protecting children but it's more insidious than that. They're using well

[00:20:13] worn playbook for erasing communities of color in LGBT. Are you at all anybody in

[00:20:20] the sound of my voice concerned with erasing communities of color? No really.

[00:20:24] You're listening to the wrong podcast. One part of the playbook is for

[00:20:31] conservative groups to arm parents with tools to march into schools and

[00:20:34] challenge books. What's... For instance they can print out a report about Tony

[00:20:40] Morrison's The Bluest Eye which contains a list of concerns inflammatory racial

[00:20:45] and religious commentary sexual activities including sexual assault

[00:20:48] and molestation alcohol use many will use these reports word for word to

[00:20:52] call for... now don't you remember? And it's happening right now and it's

[00:20:57] happened in many books particularly in 2020 how many books were modified how

[00:21:02] many books were taken off the shelves rolled doll was attacked remember these

[00:21:10] guys don't remember that see if you wrote an article like this and you did it

[00:21:14] well you would have to say now it's true that we've been on the side of

[00:21:18] book modification and book banning as well but they're playing a different

[00:21:25] game guys they're playing a sort of low vibration game right

[00:21:36] anyway even big publishing houses are reckoning with book bans Harper Collins

[00:21:41] for instance one of the top four publishers in the world has had dozens

[00:21:44] of its books and catalog this includes classics like Harper's to kill a

[00:21:48] mockingbird two more recent titles like The Undefeated Thomas who oversees all

[00:21:54] children's book published at Harper Collins is alarmed about how pervasive

[00:21:57] the current book bands are it's a real sobering moment for me book bands and

[00:22:00] challenges ebb and flow but it's never been as pronounced as is right now it's

[00:22:05] just relentless well I love that word as oh wait wait here's my favorite at a

[00:22:12] systemic level if a sentence starts out like that you know you're in

[00:22:17] trouble at a systemic level this means hiring editors and acquiring

[00:22:20] manuscripts from writers who come from a wide range of communities yeah I'd love

[00:22:25] that I would I would love that I would love to ever be considered by editors in

[00:22:34] any major publication anywhere right you see as preppers and and as you know

[00:22:43] God fearing preppers freedom loving preppers American loving preppers when

[00:22:50] you hear people talk about diversity and inclusion you understand that's a

[00:22:55] conversation that is you're not a part of that you're just not a part of that

[00:23:05] so Harper and Collins is doing their best okay they've released several new

[00:23:10] imprints to focus on the under-representative

[00:23:14] verse of Phi Alida and heart drum which is devoted to native voices we want to

[00:23:19] create a space space within these imprints for creators to feel supported

[00:23:23] we want to make sure that there are books for every kid out there I had no

[00:23:29] idea there was an issue with books for kids out there the book bands just

[00:23:33] reinforce their sense of isolation and marginalization find me and then I'm

[00:23:40] gonna I'm gonna finish up on this because I'm going long on this I'm

[00:23:42] sorry find me one kid whose life has been just totally ruined because a book has

[00:23:48] been banned in America our children suffer with with terrible reading the

[00:23:58] reading levels in America are are in incredible and a lot of that has to do

[00:24:05] with the fact that kids aren't allowed to read what they want to read and they

[00:24:12] don't want to read the books at Harper Collins are gonna put out you know what

[00:24:19] I mean I remember guys I remember okay I remember being a kid I remember the

[00:24:26] difference between reading what they told me to read and reading what I wanted

[00:24:29] to read I had a buddy who used to put a book inside of the book we were

[00:24:31] reading so he could read what he wanted to read in English and he actually got a

[00:24:35] detention for doing that for reading and reading and we would always laugh about

[00:24:39] that it might get a detention for reading and reading you understand that

[00:24:44] reading class is truly a more beneficial reading class would not be alright

[00:24:50] everybody take out the same book let's read it and discuss it a reading

[00:24:53] class would be a 45 minute block of read whatever you want to read bring

[00:24:59] in your comics bring in your graphic novels bring in your picture books bring

[00:25:02] in your whatever whatever is you want to read like I had another friend Dave Dave

[00:25:07] would read cover-to-cover didn't matter how many pages cover-to-cover civil war

[00:25:13] I'm talking I'm talking sixth grade you know what I mean like sixth seventh

[00:25:19] grade I was hanging out with Dave still he was like a fourth grade friend or

[00:25:23] something like that they would recover you give him a book the biggest

[00:25:26] addiction are you recover to cover civil war everything he didn't care

[00:25:30] everything about civil war this kid was in love with and then you give him a

[00:25:34] book about like you know the lion the witch in the wardrobe I don't give a

[00:25:38] shit I don't want to read it so you get you know reading class should be

[00:25:42] read what you're reading when I was in fifth grade way too young when I was

[00:25:46] in fifth grade I took the fun house to school my mother gave me the fun

[00:25:51] house by Dean Coons and I started reading the fun house and I said

[00:25:55] this book's amazing this is amazing and I read from fifth grade on I read

[00:26:02] everything basically everything Dean Coons ever wrote and the amount of

[00:26:06] reading I did the pages that I covered reading Dean Coons books and what it

[00:26:10] did for my reading and my writing was was formative and it literally led

[00:26:16] to my career other than that the Lord of the Flies in the phantom toll booth

[00:26:23] the only two books I can even remember remotely caring about reading in school

[00:26:29] yeah the kids do not to be do not need a massive publishing overhaul to push

[00:26:35] books on them they don't like you know we don't need the thrift stores don't

[00:26:39] need any more books that suck and it's just funny to me PBN family that

[00:26:46] that article comes out the week that my book is to be published so you know

[00:26:52] I don't know is what it is let's spread the world of ready series far and wide

[00:26:57] and teach our kids something teacher kids something that is valuable not that

[00:27:01] your kids don't know I mean I hope they know but it's always nice to have a

[00:27:06] reinforcement you know these are picture books fundamentally with a little

[00:27:09] bit of writing not very challenging writing like I said we're talking about

[00:27:14] four to six four to eight depending on what your kid reads and how into

[00:27:18] reading is where she is but they're all gonna have very important things in them

[00:27:25] okay let me get off of this let me get off of this topic I beat it to death for

[00:27:29] 26 minutes holy god it's like doing a podcast today when I do PBN daily news

[00:27:35] it's time one threat one solution.

[00:27:49] I probably mentioned this already this is a threat worth mentioning over and

[00:27:54] over again this brought to you by the gray man briefing a tremendous just

[00:28:00] tremendous thing that's happening in the world and a tremendous threat that

[00:28:05] you can't even believe and you put the news on and they're telling you about

[00:28:08] banned books that suck anyway and they're telling you about Donald Trump

[00:28:11] falling asleep in the courtroom in other words these are the most

[00:28:15] important things that the oh and the Israelis should all be killed.

[00:28:19] Hey Hurrah on April 18th the director of the FBI again warned that China has

[00:28:27] the ability to physically wreak havoc on our critical infrastructure at a

[00:28:31] time of its choosing now what's interesting about this quote is it's

[00:28:36] physically I don't know exactly what that means it says via pre existing

[00:28:45] breaches into US information systems the director said the Chinese Communist

[00:28:49] Party government is targeting infrastructure in an effort to induce panic.

[00:28:55] Now this is the craziest part and is waiting for quote for just the right

[00:29:00] moment to deal a devastating blow what do you think that right moment is

[00:29:06] folks that's Taiwan the comments came during a 2024 Vanderbilt Summit on

[00:29:11] modern conflict and emerging threats the director previously warned this guy's

[00:29:15] probably fired by now isn't he the director of the FBI to actually bring

[00:29:21] about a conversation about real threats in the world other than white

[00:29:25] supremacy there has been far too little public focus on the fact that the

[00:29:30] People's Republic of China hackers are targeting our critical infrastructure

[00:29:33] water treatment plants are electrical grid are oil and natural gas

[00:29:37] pipelines are transportation systems and the risks that put that possess

[00:29:43] the risks that poses to every American requires our attention now

[00:29:50] it's real

[00:29:51] it's real

[00:29:54] all right I

[00:29:56] not only to go into that one

[00:29:59] war equals off grid war equals off grid

[00:30:04] and now we're going to go into the next one

[00:30:07] it's a show description again I'll put the by many you bought it last time I

[00:30:11] put it in there I put the no grid survival projects book link in there

[00:30:16] again authored partially authored by myself in fact the author the other

[00:30:19] guy who wrote it or one of the other guys who wrote it with me

[00:30:23] reached out for an interview the other day was hilarious

[00:30:26] we're going to have them on

[00:30:28] we don't know each other the four people who authored the book we were

[00:30:30] company who really knows their stuff and he reaches out and says hey I wrote this

[00:30:38] book no grid survival project no you don't say so we'll probably have him on

[00:30:45] it it's an amazing book guys you know and when I read this stuff it's it's the I

[00:30:50] harp on it because it's the direct the most direct answer to the problem build

[00:30:55] your infrastructure I do apologize we did not do nearly as many off-grid

[00:30:59] projects this month on the routine as I would have liked we really fundamentally

[00:31:04] got one out of four to the members now the months not over so maybe I can slip my

[00:31:09] my check valve water pump in there you guys good over here what am I hearing a

[00:31:18] little terror the little terror the little Puggle is up the frog I'm sorry the

[00:31:24] frog is up so be prepared be prepared for life off-grid okay now before we head

[00:31:34] out I want to do an SHTF chef I want to talk to you about creamy cheesy

[00:31:40] troughly risotto now that is a delicious cut of long pork I want to thank voice mod

[00:31:57] by the way there's so much damn fun yesterday I broke out the arboreo rice

[00:32:04] do you guys know how to use our boreo rice the starchy short grain arboreo rice

[00:32:11] comes back sealed usually when you buy it it's a great shelf stable product God

[00:32:18] only knows how long it would last just the way it is packaged I mean it's

[00:32:21] literally when you buy a boreo rice most of the time it comes in a box and

[00:32:26] is back sealed and what you do with it you can make a great rice pudding with

[00:32:31] it by the way man it's been a while since I had a good rice pudding whoa you make

[00:32:38] something delicious called risotto it's an Italian dish it's an Italian creamy

[00:32:42] rice dish and what risotto represents really is a vehicle so it's a vehicle

[00:32:49] for flavors fundamentally a risotto is diced onion in olive oil coat the

[00:33:01] onion sweat the onion we would call it which is when you cook an onion on low

[00:33:05] heat not to brown it but to make it translucent that's a process called

[00:33:08] sweating you can do it with all vegetables pardon me then you add your

[00:33:16] rice directly to the oil and warm it and coat it with the oil and toast it

[00:33:20] a little bit not not you know you're not changing the color of it to that

[00:33:26] short grain rice you begin to add warm stock of your choosing yesterday I made a

[00:33:32] risotto I used warm chicken stock by the ladle right so a couple ladles to start

[00:33:37] and the key to a good risotto is the continuous stirring of this rice it's

[00:33:41] counterintuitive to steaming rice right you are agitating the short grain

[00:33:45] rice to make it creamy and it will release starch and release starch and

[00:33:49] you will continue to add warm stock as it's absorbed warm stock and stir and

[00:33:57] stir and stir until your rice basically gets to the point where it's nearly

[00:34:03] al dente you know and at that point you can add whatever you want I mean a

[00:34:08] risotto can be whatever you want it's a great vehicle for all kinds of herbs

[00:34:14] different types of cheeses different types of vegetables it's wonderful you

[00:34:20] know it's one of those things that you can really do whatever you want you know

[00:34:24] you can make a lobster and asparagus risotto you can make a goat cheese and

[00:34:31] spring onion risotto that would be good yesterday in the fall you can make

[00:34:38] like a butternut squash risotto with Chinese five spice you can whatever

[00:34:43] you want to do it's really up to you yesterday I made my favorite risotto and

[00:34:51] I was thinking of you guys the whole time well the whole time I was eating it

[00:34:54] anyway I took some baby Bella mushrooms diced those up pretty big I like big

[00:35:01] chunks of mushroom sauteed them in a pan in olive oil broke you know until

[00:35:11] they were nice and soft maybe took on a little color I added some fresh time to

[00:35:17] the pan took it off the heat then as my risotto was being stirred and the stock

[00:35:22] added to it and when I tasted it was creamy and just about al dente I added

[00:35:29] the olive oil that I sauteed it in the time the mushrooms everything boom dumped

[00:35:33] right into the rice okay then I took frozen peas and I put about a handful

[00:35:38] of frozen peas into the pot right so now I got this delicious creamy risotto I

[00:35:43] seasoned it salt and pepper now it's al dente that's the peas are warming up the

[00:35:50] mushrooms are giving off all their flavor and at the very end to make it

[00:35:56] amazing I topped a little I don't know a few seconds drizzle of white truffle

[00:36:04] oil into the risotto took it off the heat stirred that in let it sit you know let it

[00:36:10] let it sit for just a moment and then I shaved a tremendous amount of parmesan

[00:36:15] cheese into it and folded all that in and that's it man that's a risotto it's

[00:36:23] it's an amazing side dish typically I usually don't eat risotto like a side

[00:36:29] dish I'll eat it as a main you know I think it's just fine as a main but a

[00:36:34] lot of times you have like a little risotto with chicken breast on top whatever

[00:36:39] but our boreal rice is an amazing short grain rice that you should store in your

[00:36:43] pantry that can change things up for you tremendously and like I said if you have

[00:36:47] cheese if you can make cheese if you can store cheese wax covered cheese lasts

[00:36:52] like six months probably much longer but you know probably indefinite to be

[00:36:59] honest with you wax covered wheel of cheese or or even a hardened parmesan

[00:37:04] cheese in an area that is pretty low moisture you know they're designed to

[00:37:10] last so as long as you have something like that okay now we can add cheese to our

[00:37:16] short grain rice and make a risotto whenever oh and by the way don't be a

[00:37:21] snob with your stock sure you can go out there and slaughter three chickens

[00:37:26] butcher them roast the bones and make a stock if you want or like I do just store

[00:37:32] I don't know four to five large sized powdered bullion containers containers of

[00:37:41] powder bullion powder bullion is never going bad you know what I mean it's

[00:37:45] mostly salt it's never going bad and you put it into water boom make make chicken

[00:37:51] broth and use that for whatever you want to use it for all right okay PBN family
