  • I entered a cooking show contest!

    Those who know me most know that I love to pretend like I'm doing a cooking show while I'm cooking -- even when there's no real audience there.  A few weeks ago, my dear friend allclear forwarded me an email that Kraft was doing a cooking show contest, encouraging me enthusiastically to do it.  I had to put it off for a few weeks, as my finals were looming ahead; but last night, I took my last final, and today was the day!  When Sam came home from work, he helped me set the camera up.  But when everything was finally set up and the camera was pointed at me, I got really nervous and felt really silly, so I did the natural thing:  I laughed and laughed.  I thought maybe I shouldn't do this.  This is silly.  But Sam kept encouraging me to do it.  We even prayed.  And then finally, I was ready. 

    Here's the clip that I entered into the contest.  It's under 3 minutes.  Please visit Youtube and leave a friendly comment.

    And...just for fun, here are some outtakes:

  • wow good job. I love the outtakes! haha they are so funny. How long did it take you guys to produce this video? Looks like it's a lot of work.

  • Thanks, Cindy.

    It actually didn't take us that long, surprisingly.  We started videotaping around 5pm and I finished the video editing at 8pm.  It must be because I had experience making a "cooking show" (haha) from last year's Pho-making video and also I've made Shepherd's Pie so many times. :)

  • WOW. That's a very well-made video. You're a natural, Mary Ann!

  • doood, i LOVE outtakes.

    i was sitting in traffic yesterday thinking about your video and thought that i should makes some videos of those recipes you and cindy were clamoring for. except mine will just be for education and fun--

  • Wow, that was well done.  You are a natural!

  • lol!  Cute!  Hope it does well in the contest!

  • Hi Mary Ann!  I really like when you post videos because then I get to hear your voice. :)

    My favorite outtake moment: "I'm laughing, I'm laughing!"
