make these look nice and cute
00:21
Hey guys, it's Conan and welcome to my kitchen
00:24
It is very cloudy out today
00:28
And whenever it's cloudy it always put being a cooking mood, it always puts me in a baking or cooking mood
00:30
And so that's what I'm going to do
00:35
I'm going to bake and cook. I've been wanting to cook all my channel for a while now because me and my friends love to
00:36
cook. The other day me and my friend Ashley made pasta. Just at like 12:00 at night.
00:42
We always bake I'm always baking with my friends
00:48
And it's something that I really love doing so why not do it on here as an excuse to do it more often?
00:49
Today, we're going to be making gluten-free brownies using rice flour
00:57
I don't have celiac disease so I can eat like really minute traces of gluten
01:00
But like anything more than, like, a crouton is enough to make my stomach turn against itself and then try to murder me
01:05
So I don't eat gluten. I don't do it, like as a choice
01:12
I'd love to eat gluten, if i could, but I can't. But I found this recipe or super super super good gluten-free brownies
01:15
I've made them like 20,000 times already. They're so freakin good so lets make them. I also thought I would just like chat about
01:22
something while I'm baking these just so that i can talk to myself.
01:29
You know just process some thoughts, and so we're going to call this new segment a babble & bake. Thank you mel
01:33
mel [Spex] Mel's [pecks]
01:40
Thank you mel for the great title suggestion very good what we are going to be talking about today is
01:43
Growing up, I'm currently going through a very intense process of growing up because I'm going to college
01:50
So a lot is changing at the moment, but to me it's very very exciting. The other day
01:57
I tweeted out that I love growing up, and I just said that: 'i love growing up'
02:02
and I was really like shocked and confused by all the
02:06
responses. Almost every single person who replied to it, replied with something very negative.
02:11
Every single person expressed, like this great fear of growing up and just this like overwhelming
02:17
hatred of growing up.
02:22
Which is surprising to me, because growing up for me has always been something that I really really craved my whole life.
02:24
I don't really know how many ounces two ounces is.
02:29
So we're just gonna see what happens. I'm like southern. I'm just going to say it's like...
02:32
is it that much? That's two ounces if you didn't know. I'm gonna go microwave this real quick.
02:41
Mixing.. oooh that's not delightful
02:51
is this enough? I kind of remember
02:57
consistency being like a little bit darker the other times i made it, so im just gonna add some of
03:01
cocoa powder to it. I'm one of those bakers that like barely barely follows the instructions, so...
03:07
Also, i'll leave the ingredients in the description, but I never follow them
03:15
So it makes it fun cause you never really know how it's going to turn out
03:21
isn't that exciting!
03:25
I've always loved the idea of growing up
03:28
And it is something that I find very very necessary in my life. Throughout the course of my life
03:31
I have changed a lot
03:36
and I've grown up a lot. Due to a bunch of different things due to my family circumstances: due to the kind of
03:38
environment that I was in and really pressured me to work really hard and grow up really fast and so now if I'm not changing if
03:46
I'm not constantly growing. I don't feel like I'm doing a good job at Living Life. By the way
03:52
I don't have any talking points today. Normally when I'm doing like a chatty video. I have little like notes
03:58
I remember where I'm supposed to say or like. What topics I'm supposed to cover. I don't have that today
04:04
I just couldn't be bothered to do today, so I'm gonna be all over the place
04:08
I think people nowadays have a really skewed idea of what growing up is like
04:11
I guess.. growing up doesn't necessarily mean losing your youth it. Doesn't mean not at all. I think growing up really just means
04:16
learning if I look back, like a couple months ago, and I'm exactly the same and I haven't changed at all
04:24
It's a no for me. I don't want that. I want to be constantly learning
04:29
I want to be constantly growing
04:32
And I want to be constantly
04:34
growing up people are scared of what the future holds because they think they're just going to end up living really boring lives or end
04:35
up not being fulfilled, but I think that's dumb
04:42
I don't see anything bad about growing up, and I know that growing up for me
04:45
it's just really exciting because I know that the older I get the more
04:50
I'm gonna know about the world and in my case
04:54
I very much invite growing up and very much invite change. I know that when I'm grown up
04:56
I don't want to have that same amount of youth and vibrance and just overall excitement of life that I do now
05:02
I think that people do kind of think oh, well. It's time for me to grow up
05:09
It's time for me to stop being excited about life.
05:13
But I don't plan on listening to that societal pressure to tone down or to not be as exciting to be more
05:16
I don't know to be more palatable
05:23
I don't plan on being just as youthful as I am now when I'm 70 years old
05:25
And I think that every one of you guys out there who are afraid of growing up
05:31
Or who hate the idea of growing up should look at life that way? I don't think it's a sad thing to grow up
05:34
I think that it's very much a huge sign of learning. I don't want to be dumb and young forever. No. Thank you
05:39
1/8 of a teaspoon, I don't [eel like measuring wring that out
05:45
so I'mma just put however much I think!
05:50
1/8 of a teaspoon is like basically nothing right, so we'll just like...
05:53
Maybe a little bit more. Maybe like a tiny bit more.
05:58
Okay that's enough-
06:02
Maybe like- maybe like- I'm just feeling-
I just feel like this should be more. Okay. That's good. That's probably a good amount right?
06:03
I feel like we need more. See, this is how I bake I just feel.
06:12
What's new, I just feel.
06:16
All the time I'm just constantly feeling. Yeah, okay. That's good.
06:19
I always make sound effects when I'm baking too. We need a pinch of salt.
06:23
Our two eggs, which are actually from my neighbor because I ran out of eggs and my neighbor has chickens and so oh
06:32
This shell is abnormally hard, so I just ran over there stole some eggs from their chicken. It's fine.
06:41
It's normal. Kinda normal?
06:48
I should have tried the one-handed!
Mix these eggs, and I have a question for vegans because I'm not a vegan
06:51
But I have a question this isn't like
06:59
antagonistic at all I just was wondering..
07:01
Are you guys okay with like eating a chicken's egg?
07:03
If like got it from your neighbor
07:07
And you watched those chicken's lives and they have good lives and they lay eggs anyway
07:08
So like would you be okay with eating that egg or would you still not be okay with it? Things like that are things that
07:14
I question a lot like if the chickens going to be laying the egg anyways
07:19
but I do understand like, like if the chicken was
07:23
Not in captivity then, like the egg would probably be fertilized and then it'd have chicks
07:27
Yeah, I see that. I see that, I understand that.
07:33
Some chocolate chip. Oh because this doesn't have enough chocolate in it
07:38
I do understand being scared of the future though, like I'm definitely scared of the future
07:43
But I'm definitely not scared of growing up like I want to grow up. I hope that I'm growing up
07:47
I'd love to hear what you guys' thoughts are on growing up are. Because I very much loved growing up
07:52
I very much love change. It's something I crave it's something
07:57
I'm constantly making sure that I'm doing. I constantly assess my life and make sure that I'm growing and that I am changing
08:00
because if I'm not I
08:06
Don't want to be stagnant
08:09
But I want to know where those fears of growing up are rooted so I can better understand you guys
08:11
I'm gonna go stick this in the oven and then I'll be back to you
08:19
It is the next morning
08:47
I still haven't tried this brownie because immediately after filming I ran to my friend's house and watched a movie with her up. Oh! Rocky(?)!
08:48
Rocky(?) wants to say hiii! Rocky(?) say hi.
08:55
Okay, you can leave. It's okay. holy Catioli(?) my hair is a new level today. Let's try this brownie
09:00
Mm-Hmm. I agree with that. I'm not gonna eat this whole thing on frame, but maybe I am. oh my God
09:19
I'm a middle-piece person. I'm not a corner-piece person. These brownies are super fudgy
09:28
They're almost a mixture of brownies and fudge. They're not like cakey. They're a lot more fudgy. Which I like
09:33
I like it when my brownies are almost like too squishy super rich not like too
09:40
sweet like a little bit more on the dark chocolate side which I like too because I don't really like milk chocolate that much so
09:46
Good
I'll leave the link to the recipe in the description below if you'd like to make it
09:52
Thank you so much for watching like I said I'd love to hear your opinions on the topic that I talked about today
09:56
I love to read comments. It's like one of my favorite pastimes, so I'd love to see a comment
10:01
Rocky would love to see a comment. Rocky what do you think? and I'll see you guys in a few days with a brand new video
10:06
God bless and good bye
10:10
