Stores lure in customers after Christmas
STORES AGAIN TODAY. MANY SHOWED UP THIS TIME TO RETURN UNWANTED GIFTS AND SEARCH FOR POST-CHRISTMAS DEALS. TY SHESKY IS LIVE AT THE CORONADO CENTER WITH MORE. JOE... THE DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS CAN BE A BLESSING OR A CURSE FOR AREA RETAILERS. IT'S ONE OF THE BIGGEST SHOPPING DAYS OF THE YEAR. STORES SLASH PRICES AND OPEN EARLIER TO LURE SHOPPERS IN. AND IT'S ALSO THE DAY FOR THE MOST RETURNS. WE FOUND A FULL PARKING LOT AT CORONADO CENTER WITH CARS BACKED- UP ALONG THE STREETS. AND THE MALLS WERE EVEN MORE CROWDED ON THE INSIDE. BUT MOST SHOPPERS WE TALKED TO SAY THEY ARE HERE TO FIND DEALS THIS YEAR... NOT RETURN GIFTS. 59:41'We're just kind-of looking for the deals and getting belated Christmas gifts.' 55:44 'We're hoping not to get too many returns back, but through the seasons we've learned that some returns do end-up coming back.' RETURNED HOLIDAY GIFTS ARE ON A DOWNWARD TREND. 62-PERCENT OF SHOPPERS DID RETURN HOLIDAY GIFTS IN 2005 ACCORDING TO A NATIONAL SURVEY. ONLY 36-PERCENT RETURNED GIFTS IN 2006. THE NATIONAL RETAIL FEDERATION SAYS MORE GIFT- CARD GIVING IS THE REASON FOR FEWER RETURNS. REPORTING LIVE IN ALBUQUERQUE, TY SHESKY, EWN-4. RETAILERS ARE MAKING IT HARDER FOR YOU TO RETURN THOSE UNWANTED GIFTS. STORES ARE CRACKING DOWN ON RETURN FRAUD... SOMETHING THE 'NATIONAL RETAIL FEDERATION' SAYS COSTS STORES 11 BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR. 'We're talking about wardrobing, where consumers are actually wearing the merchandise for an event the night before and then bringing it back the next day.' MANY STORES NOW CHARGE A RESTOCKING FEE ON ELECTRONICS THAT HAVE BEEN OPENED. OTHERS LIMIT THE NUMBER OF RETURNS YOU CAN MAKE WITHOUT A RECEIPT. SO HOW DO YOU KEEP YOUR DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS FROM BECOMING A DISASTER? CHECK THE RETURN POLICY BEFORE YOU BUY, HANG ONTO THE RECEIPT OR GIVE A GIFT RECEIPT, AND DON'T OPEN A GIFT YOU MAY NOT KEEP. AN ALBUQUERQUE BUSINESS OWNER FACES TWO COUNTS OF MEDICAID FRAUD. ISRAEL KEPPEL IS ACCUSED OF SUBMITTING FALSE BILLING TO THE NEW MEXICO MEDICAID PROGRAM IN 2005. THAT'S ACCORDING TO THE STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE. IF CONVICTED, KEPPEL FACES UP TO 18 MONTHS IN PRISON AND/OR A FIVE- THOUSAND DOLLAR FINE. A ROSWELL MAN IS ACCUSED OF STEALING COPPER WIRING FROM A WIND FARM NEAR ELIDA. CHAVES COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES TOOK 50-YEAR-OLD MICHAEL ROBERTSON INTO CUSTODY EARLIER THIS WEEK. AUTHORITIES SAY THEFTS OF WIRING FROM UTILITIES AND CONSTRUCTION SITES HAVE INCREASED SHARPLY BECAUSE OF A RECENT SPIKE IN COPPER PRICES. LAST MONTH THIEVES TOOK 6- AND-A-HALF MILES OF COPPER WIRE FROM A RAIL RUNNER EXPRESS TRACK BETWEEN ALBUQUERQUE AND SANTA FE. SANTA FE POLICE SAY FRIGID OVERNIGHT CONDITIONS MAY HAVE KILLED A MAN. HIS BODY WAS DISCOVERED IN A REMOTE FIELD. THE BODY OF 51- YEAR OLD GERONIMO GARCIA WAS FOUND AROUND EIGHT THIS MORNING BEHIND 'FAIRVIEW CEMETERY' OFF CERRILLOS ROAD. POLICE SAY HE MAY HAVE BEEN HOMELESS. HIS BODY WAS FOUND WRAPPED IN A THIN BLANKET NOT FAR FROM A HOMELESS SHELTER. THERE ARE NO SIGNS OF FOUL PLAY. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE EMPLOYEES AND RETIREES ARE ANGRY ABOUT A PLAN TO MOVE THE AGENCY'S SANTA FE STAFF TO A HISTORICAL BUILDING. THE FEDERAL AGENCY PLANS TO CUT ITS STAFF IN SANTA FE AND MOVE THE REMAINING 70 EMPLOYEES INTO ITS HISTORIC BUILDING ON OLD SANTA FE TRAIL. THE PARK SERVICE IS DISPUTING CLAIMS THAT BY DOING SO, IT WILL DAMAGE THE BUILDING OR THAT VALUABLE ARTIFACTS WILL HAVE TO BE REMOVED TO MAKE WAY FOR THE STAFF. NEW MEXICO STATE UNIVERSITY COULD SOON SEE A HOTEL RIGHT ON CAMPUS. NEARLY FOUR ACRES OF PROPERTY AT N-M-S-U HAVE SET ASIDE FOR THE HOTEL CONSTRUCTION. THE SCHOOL'S REGENTS APPROVED THE LAND DEAL EARLIER THIS MONTH. THEY SAY THE 30 MILLION-DOLLAR HOTEL WILL INCLUDE 180 GUEST ROOMS, A RESTAURANT AND A CONFERENCE CENTER. AN EVENT CENTER ALSO IS PLANNED NEAR THE HOTEL. THE SCHOOL SAYS CONSTRUCTION WILL TAKE ABOUT TWO YEARS. A MAN IS DEAD AND TWO OTHERS CRITICALLY INJURED AFTER A TIGER SOMEHOW ESCAPED FROM ITS ENCLOSURE AT THE SAN FRANCISCO ZOO --- AND WENT ON THE ATTACK. AS NBC'S JINAH KIM REPORTS-- THERE ARE MORE QUESTIONS THAN ANSWERS AS TO HOW IT COULD HAVE HAPPENED. at 1:08-1:13 THE SAN FRANCISCO ZOO IS OPEN 365 DAYS A YEAR. BUT ON WEDNESDAY, IT WAS CLOSED AS POLICE AND ZOO OFFICIALS COMBED THE GROUNDS, TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW A SIBERIAN TIGER WAS ABLE TO ATTACK 3 VISITORS. 'We don't know, as of yet, exactly how it occurred in terms of, number one, how the tiger got out, number two, the sequence. That's something that we're trying to piece together.' ON CHRISTMAS NIGHT, JUST AS THE ZOO WAS CLOSING, THE 350-POUND ANIMAL SOMEHOW ESCAPED FROM ITS ENCLOSED PEN AND WENT ON THE ATTACK, KILLING A YOUNG MAN AND CRITICALLY INJURING A SECOND. IT WAS IN THE PROCESS OF MAULING A THIRD MAN WHEN POLICE FOUND HER. 'The tiger re-engaged the victim, as the officers moved in closer, the tiger focused its attention on the officers and started coming toward the officers. That's when the officers fired.' WITH TATIANA DEAD, POLICE SEARCHED ALL NIGHT TO MAKE SURE OTHER ANIMALS HADN'T ESCAPED - AND THAT THERE WEREN'T ANY MORE VICTIMS. NONE HAVE BEEN FOUND - AND THE TWO SURVIVING VICTIMS ARE EXPECTED TO LIVE. 'By the time they got here, they were very stable, not close to death. Really it was just a matter of washing out theirwounds.' TATIANA HAS HARMED BEFORE - TEARING A ZOOKEEPER'S ARM A YEAR AGO. 'To watch their ability to jump, their ability to hold onto things, their power is immense, it's almost beyond description.' THE ZOO IS CONFIDENT TATIANA DID NOT LEAVE THROUGH AN OPEN DOOR.. AND THE TIGER'S PEN IS SURROUNDED BY A 15-FOOT WIDE MOAT AND A 20-FOOT HIGH WALL. HOW SHE ESCAPED - AND WHY SHE WENT ON A RAMPAGE - IS A MYSTERY. JINAH KIM, NBC NEWS. GOVERNOR BILL RICHARDSON IS BACK ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL THE DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS. HE'S STUMPING IN IOWA JUST EIGHT DAYS BEFORE THAT STATE'S CAUCUS.

'The PKK is a terrorist organization which is the common enemy of all of us, and at the same time we continue to urge that no one should do anything to destabilize the north.' NO CASUALTIES WERE REPORTED, BUT THE TURKISH GOVERNMENT SAYS IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS THEY'VE KILLED MORE THAN 150 REBELS AND TAKEN OUT MORE THAN 200 SITES. TWO OF THE U-S' CRITICAL ALLIES IN THE WAR ON TERROR HAVE MOVED TO IMPROVE RELATIONS AND ESCALATE THE FIGHT AGAINST MILITANTS. AFGHAN PRESIDENT HAMID KARZAI AND PAKISTANI PRESIDENT PERVEZ MUSHARRAF SAY THEY'LL SHARE INTELLIGENCE AND TIGHTEN BORDER CONTROLS TO BATTLE MILITANTS FROM BOTH THE TALIBAN AND AL- QAEDA. 'People in both countries are suffering, suffering a lot and it is incumbent upon us to find ways to bring peace and stability to each home, each family, in both countries.'THE MEETING BETWEEN THE TWO LEADERS COMES AS PAKISTAN LAUNCHES AN OFFENSIVE IN ITS NORTHWEST BORDER REGION. THE SOLE SURVIVOR OF A PLANE CRASH IN PANAMA IS NOW IN A HOSPITAL. AUTHORITIES SAY 12-YEAR-OLD FRANCESCA LEWIS IS IN STABLE CONDITION, THREE DAYS AFTER THE PLANE CRASH. RESCUERS HAD TO TREK FIVE HOURS THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS TO BRING THE CHILD TO SAFETY A CALIFORNIA FATHER AND DAUGHTER DIED IN THE CRASH ALONG WITH THE PANAMANIAN PILOT.

SURVIVORS AND FAMILIES OF VICTIMS WERE INVITED TO A BEACH IN PHUKET TO LAY FLOWERS AND LIGHT CANDLES IN THE SAND. FATHER TIME IS IN NEW MEXICO-- TRYING TO MAKE A STATEMENT. ALBUQUERQUE DAD JOHN ALVAREZ WAS GETTING A LOT OF ATTENTION TODAY OUTSIDE FAMILY COURT. HE TOLD US HE'S TIRED OF WHAT HE CALLS A GROWING PROBLEM-- MOTHERS GETTING ALL THE LEVERAGE IN CUSTODY BATTLES-- NO MATTER THE CIRCUMSTANCES. I'm doing this for the other fathers out there, not only in albuquerque, not only in new mexico, but in the whole united states that go through this everyday. ALVAREZ SAYS HE GOT THE IDEA AFTER SEEING SIMILAR PROTESTS BY FATHERS IN ENGLAND-- FIGHTING FOR DAD'S RIGHTS. FATHER TIME WILL PATROL OUTSIDE FAMILY COURT-- THROUGH NEW YEARS DAY.

Black Olive Cobbler With Matt & Kim
Olives and ice cream? Sam is full of surprises. Dinner with the band Episode “Black Olive Cobbler” Sam: Alright I am Sam Mason and I am here very today, I am very excited today. Today for these guys we are doing an olive cobbler with almond ice cream, which is. I am excited about it, I don’t know if you guys are. Kim: I am excited. Matt: I am terrified as well. Sam: That’s good as well. Now there is an olive story for you guys as well. Matt: Yeah, when we first got together and I hated olives, but you made enough olives that um… Kim: I wore you down, forced it on you. Matt: But she would put them in everything we eat. And I guess its just one of those things; I guess you warm up to. But I never had it in a dessert, sort of. Sam: Well then today we can make you hate olives again. So it will work out. This is kind of way to confee olives to make them sweet to where they kind of mimic a cherry. They are sweetened enough to where they kind of have that cherry flavor. But here is how we are going to start this, pit these. I am going to have you guys pit these. Have you ever pitted a cherry before? These are olives. Matt: I have never pitted a cherry or an olive. Sam: Oh then this is going to get dangerous. It’s simple; it’s just this little contraption. Kim: What would you call this contraption? Sam: It’s a pitter. Matt: Alright good name. Sam: And then it just comes sliding right out, its kind of an intrusive device. Matt: Wait is that how it is done when you just buy caned olives? Sam: Yeah they have large machines that do it though. Kim: There is a dude there… Matt: I always wondered how they do that. Sam: Yeah there is this guy Edward… Kim: I think I broke it already. Sam: Oh my god, if she pits cherries like she drums we are all in trouble. Sam: You made a little mushroom; I want them all to look like this. Kim: That is so I can eat the edges. Sam: Oh my god, aim it out that way. Matt: Alright let’s see what kind of rage we can get on this. Do it, do it. No don’t point it right at it. Sam: That’s alright. Matt: Wow. Kim: This is how we do, what’s this? Confee? Sam: Confee, yeah it’s just… Kim: Am I going to slow for you? Sam: No, no I have nothing to do with my hands. It’s just a term; it’s not usually used for fruits. It’s something that is cooked in its own juices. But this obviously we are going to cook in sugar, water and port. Matt: Wait well then how does this term fit it at all, if it doesn’t get cooked in its juice at all? Sam: Well it has become a bastardized term. Kim: Don’t get this on film. Sam: So we are going to cut these in half. Kim: I am going to shoot it out again. Matt: Well it’s a good thing I wore my safety goggles today. Sam: I don’t know if you guys, well I am sure you guys know this. But I got to see you guys play like 900 times at south by. There is something you guys do to the crowd, can you explain that? Kim: It’s called we pay them before hand. Sam: I thought you were piping something into the air or something. Matt: I think being honest when you play is really important. And I think a lot of bands put on their poker face. There like too cool for school face. I don’t mind seeing a band that plays through like, being angered or anything but as long as there honest. If you are looking totally bored, the crowds going to get totally bored., but Kim smiles nonstop, no matter what… Sam: She looks like she is sitting under the Christmas tree with brand new set of drawers. Here is what we are going to go for in this we are actually going to boil these real quick because they are kind of salty. Kim: Salty is not good for it? Sam: Well you know we are going to be fighting the sugar. So what we are going to do is we are going to be bringing some water up to a boil. Here we go we have our pitted olives, here we go we are actually going to drop these in the pot of boiling water. Going to let it sit here for a second, and then we are going to dump these right in the strainer. Kim: This is just getting the salt and the oil off of them? Matt: Yeah, just to rinse the oil and get the salt off. And what we are going to do now is actually, that was probably more for the oil than the salt. So we are just going to do this first, for a couple of seconds. Then we are going to let those drain. Then take this pot, and then we are going to add four cups of sugar. Then we are going to add a small amount of water, to make it like wet sand. Not too much. I mean the more you add the longer this is going to take. Kim: That looks good. Sam: Alright so the sugar. We are just going, going to turn this on high. Alright so as soon as this turns yellow around the edges, we are going to add the port and the water. We have some other jobs for you to do. On the top of this cobbler we are going to add the Streusel. You know that crumbly kind of topping? Matt: Yeah I love that. Sam: I love that stuff, that stuff is good on anything, hotdogs. Half cup of flower and a half cup of sugar. We have a quarter teaspoon of cinnamon and then we have butter. Now here show this, this gets kind of sloppy. Kim: Am I, Am I going in? Matt: You’re going in. Sam: So what’s going to happen here is your going to take this soft butter, and you’re going to throw it in little pea sizes. And at the same time you’re going to mix it in like that. Matt: I am not very good at this yet. Kim: Pea sizes Matt, pea sizes. Matt: Is this bigger than a pea size? Kim: Who eats a pea like that? Matt: What are we talking about, the green pea? Kim: Am I doing this right? Sam: Yeah because we want it to end up coming together. So obviously we can talk about your, the video for Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. There are a lot of yeas in that. What does an idea for something like that come? Matt: We were playing at a bar and there was someone who comes around when the bars closing at like 1:00 in the morning with pizza and sells it by the slice. And our friends were buying it and they were throwing it at us, and feeding it to us as we were trying to play. I feel bad for the next person that had to use that mic. But yet we did that. Then they threw ice and pint glasses. I thought I broke my elbow. We were leaving like; we totally got to make a video like that. Sam: Kind of just get it clumped up as much as you can so you have kind of big chunks. You know the chunkier the better. We are going to set this aside for second. We are going to need for this dish two orange zest. Which you really just want the zest which is the outside. Matt: Wait so the outside is going in? Sam: The outside is going in. Matt: Ah that’s the part we always throw away. Who would have known it was the crucial part. Sam: But you don’t want the pith, which is that stuff. Matt: This is all going against everything I ever believed, olives being a sweet dish, and orange peels instead of orange insides. Sam: Yeah that’s were all the flavor. That’s were all the oils are. Do you see the color on this guys, it’s kind of got that yellow color. That means it’s hot. Kim: It kind of smells like cotton candy. Matt: It really does. Sam: We are going to gently whisk in this cold water, which is going to be quiet aggressive. We do it gently because otherwise it would seize up and you would end up with this big block of sugar. So we are also going to add two cups of port wine. So boom we have orange, orange, orange. Back on the stove, bring it to a boil; we are going to add our olives. Yeah, they have been washed and all ready to go. And I am going to drip a little on the floor because that’s what we do here. And we are going to let these simmer for about half an hour. Matt: Man that looks good. Sam: Then we will assemble the cobbler. Alright so our thirty minutes is up, we are going to turn this off. And we are going to take this and that and do this. Alright so these are going to strain for just a bit. Then we are going back in the. Now we should probably pour out these orange. Matt: I was going to say you don’t eat them? Sam: Well I mean they are probably delicious. Matt: Really? Sam: I am just surprising the hell out of you today. Matt: Oh my god. Sam: There we have the olives. Alright this is a cup of poaching liquid. We are going to just add it like that. Then we have a cup of sugar. Kim: There is a lot of sugar in this. Matt: Good thing I am trying to gain weight, and unsuccessfully too. Sam: Four tea spoons of cornstarch, it’s going to thicken that bad boy up. Alright so this is going to go back in that pan. What’s going to happen now we are going to cook it to thicken all this liquid. And kind of make what would normally be a cherry pie filling. It doesn’t take long to thicken this because the cornstarch is pretty effective. I seem to recall a story that entailed food poisoning. Is this an embarrassing story? Kim: Not for me. Matt: It was actually the first time Kim and I communicated. What was that like five years ago? She had some obsession with letters and postcards and stuff like that. And she had only met me like once when she asked me to send her a postcard. And I was in Portland, and I went to food not bombs, where they dig all the food out of the trash. And I got totally, totally sick. I felt like I had taken this gunshot to the gut. It was the worst pain I have ever been in, and good old food did it to me. Sam: Not good old food. Matt: No, no, no it was food. But yeah I wrote a letter to Kim with all the horrifying details of being on the bathroom floor of a burger king trying to suck in the cold from the tiles. Because I felt like I was on fire. Kim: But in the letter he explained how he stripped down to his underwear and was lying on the floor in the burger kind bathroom. Matt: I had, people would walk in and see me and think I am some drug addict and just walk back out. But that, for some reason I didn’t know Kim but I wrote her all the details of that, because it was that day. Kim: You knew what type of girl I was. Matt: Yeah, yeah and that was our first correspondence. Sam: Do you still have the note? Kim: Yep. Sam: Is that framed in the bathroom? Kim: That’s actually a good idea. Sam: I would have that framed ad put it right in the bathroom. Matt: Yes this is a cooking show and I am talking about… Aren’t you supposed to not talk about this during dinner? Sam: We do everything different around here. Matt: Ok, cool. Sam: So we are just trying to get this to tighten up a little bit. Even though its going got go in the oven and its going to tighten u in the oven. But you know that’s our filling. Pretend that’s cherries. Kim: It really looks like it. Sam: It is it’s a sexy kind of mixture. Matt: It does smell good. Sam: You sound so surprised still, like… Matt: I doubt it, I’m telling you. Sam: We are going to pour it in here. Boom, alright and then we have that topping that you guys made. Just kind of cover it like this. Then we have an oven, three hundred and fifty degrees for about thirty five to forty five minutes, like so and that’s it. Kim: That’s where the magic happens. Sam: Yeah, the magic happens in that stove. Oh cobblers ready, it’s hot. Hot, hot. Alright so that is finite, it is a crazy way to eat olives. Matt: You would not expect that that is olives. Sam: It is blazing hot, alright that is it that is the black olive cobbler, for Matt and Kim.

Maybe a beef roast or chicken......Oh and I also need some ideas for stocking stuffers and some good cookie recipes. stocking stuffer ideas: chapstick or lip balm slippers or socks candy or snacks books magazines crossword puzzles mini games like the rubiks cube lotions perfumes/colognes candles Any gag gift ideas would be cute too. We have a sense of humor in this house.....or at least I hope so lol. Hope you guys are enjoying the holidays :) Many hugs Sasha
Black Olive Cobbler With Matt & Kim
Olives and ice cream? Sam is full of surprises. Dinner with the band Episode “Black Olive Cobbler” Sam: Alright I am Sam Mason and I am here very today, I am very excited today. Today for these guys we are doing an olive cobbler with almond ice cream, which is. I am excited about it, I don’t know if you guys are. Kim: I am excited. Matt: I am terrified as well. Sam: That’s good as well. Now there is an olive story for you guys as well. Matt: Yeah, when we first got together and I hated olives, but you made enough olives that um… Kim: I wore you down, forced it on you. Matt: But she would put them in everything we eat. And I guess its just one of those things; I guess you warm up to. But I never had it in a dessert, sort of. Sam: Well then today we can make you hate olives again. So it will work out. This is kind of way to confee olives to make them sweet to where they kind of mimic a cherry. They are sweetened enough to where they kind of have that cherry flavor. But here is how we are going to start this, pit these. I am going to have you guys pit these. Have you ever pitted a cherry before? These are olives. Matt: I have never pitted a cherry or an olive. Sam: Oh then this is going to get dangerous. It’s simple; it’s just this little contraption. Kim: What would you call this contraption? Sam: It’s a pitter. Matt: Alright good name. Sam: And then it just comes sliding right out, its kind of an intrusive device. Matt: Wait is that how it is done when you just buy caned olives? Sam: Yeah they have large machines that do it though. Kim: There is a dude there… Matt: I always wondered how they do that. Sam: Yeah there is this guy Edward… Kim: I think I broke it already. Sam: Oh my god, if she pits cherries like she drums we are all in trouble. Sam: You made a little mushroom; I want them all to look like this. Kim: That is so I can eat the edges. Sam: Oh my god, aim it out that way. Matt: Alright let’s see what kind of rage we can get on this. Do it, do it. No don’t point it right at it. Sam: That’s alright. Matt: Wow. Kim: This is how we do, what’s this? Confee? Sam: Confee, yeah it’s just… Kim: Am I going to slow for you? Sam: No, no I have nothing to do with my hands. It’s just a term; it’s not usually used for fruits. It’s something that is cooked in its own juices. But this obviously we are going to cook in sugar, water and port. Matt: Wait well then how does this term fit it at all, if it doesn’t get cooked in its juice at all? Sam: Well it has become a bastardized term. Kim: Don’t get this on film. Sam: So we are going to cut these in half. Kim: I am going to shoot it out again. Matt: Well it’s a good thing I wore my safety goggles today. Sam: I don’t know if you guys, well I am sure you guys know this. But I got to see you guys play like 900 times at south by. There is something you guys do to the crowd, can you explain that? Kim: It’s called we pay them before hand. Sam: I thought you were piping something into the air or something. Matt: I think being honest when you play is really important. And I think a lot of bands put on their poker face. There like too cool for school face. I don’t mind seeing a band that plays through like, being angered or anything but as long as there honest. If you are looking totally bored, the crowds going to get totally bored., but Kim smiles nonstop, no matter what… Sam: She looks like she is sitting under the Christmas tree with brand new set of drawers. Here is what we are going to go for in this we are actually going to boil these real quick because they are kind of salty. Kim: Salty is not good for it? Sam: Well you know we are going to be fighting the sugar. So what we are going to do is we are going to be bringing some water up to a boil. Here we go we have our pitted olives, here we go we are actually going to drop these in the pot of boiling water. Going to let it sit here for a second, and then we are going to dump these right in the strainer. Kim: This is just getting the salt and the oil off of them? Matt: Yeah, just to rinse the oil and get the salt off. And what we are going to do now is actually, that was probably more for the oil than the salt. So we are just going to do this first, for a couple of seconds. Then we are going to let those drain. Then take this pot, and then we are going to add four cups of sugar. Then we are going to add a small amount of water, to make it like wet sand. Not too much. I mean the more you add the longer this is going to take. Kim: That looks good. Sam: Alright so the sugar. We are just going, going to turn this on high. Alright so as soon as this turns yellow around the edges, we are going to add the port and the water. We have some other jobs for you to do. On the top of this cobbler we are going to add the Streusel. You know that crumbly kind of topping? Matt: Yeah I love that. Sam: I love that stuff, that stuff is good on anything, hotdogs. Half cup of flower and a half cup of sugar. We have a quarter teaspoon of cinnamon and then we have butter. Now here show this, this gets kind of sloppy. Kim: Am I, Am I going in? Matt: You’re going in. Sam: So what’s going to happen here is your going to take this soft butter, and you’re going to throw it in little pea sizes. And at the same time you’re going to mix it in like that. Matt: I am not very good at this yet. Kim: Pea sizes Matt, pea sizes. Matt: Is this bigger than a pea size? Kim: Who eats a pea like that? Matt: What are we talking about, the green pea? Kim: Am I doing this right? Sam: Yeah because we want it to end up coming together. So obviously we can talk about your, the video for Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. There are a lot of yeas in that. What does an idea for something like that come? Matt: We were playing at a bar and there was someone who comes around when the bars closing at like 1:00 in the morning with pizza and sells it by the slice. And our friends were buying it and they were throwing it at us, and feeding it to us as we were trying to play. I feel bad for the next person that had to use that mic. But yet we did that. Then they threw ice and pint glasses. I thought I broke my elbow. We were leaving like; we totally got to make a video like that. Sam: Kind of just get it clumped up as much as you can so you have kind of big chunks. You know the chunkier the better. We are going to set this aside for second. We are going to need for this dish two orange zest. Which you really just want the zest which is the outside. Matt: Wait so the outside is going in? Sam: The outside is going in. Matt: Ah that’s the part we always throw away. Who would have known it was the crucial part. Sam: But you don’t want the pith, which is that stuff. Matt: This is all going against everything I ever believed, olives being a sweet dish, and orange peels instead of orange insides. Sam: Yeah that’s were all the flavor. That’s were all the oils are. Do you see the color on this guys, it’s kind of got that yellow color. That means it’s hot. Kim: It kind of smells like cotton candy. Matt: It really does. Sam: We are going to gently whisk in this cold water, which is going to be quiet aggressive. We do it gently because otherwise it would seize up and you would end up with this big block of sugar. So we are also going to add two cups of port wine. So boom we have orange, orange, orange. Back on the stove, bring it to a boil; we are going to add our olives. Yeah, they have been washed and all ready to go. And I am going to drip a little on the floor because that’s what we do here. And we are going to let these simmer for about half an hour. Matt: Man that looks good. Sam: Then we will assemble the cobbler. Alright so our thirty minutes is up, we are going to turn this off. And we are going to take this and that and do this. Alright so these are going to strain for just a bit. Then we are going back in the. Now we should probably pour out these orange. Matt: I was going to say you don’t eat them? Sam: Well I mean they are probably delicious. Matt: Really? Sam: I am just surprising the hell out of you today. Matt: Oh my god. Sam: There we have the olives. Alright this is a cup of poaching liquid. We are going to just add it like that. Then we have a cup of sugar. Kim: There is a lot of sugar in this. Matt: Good thing I am trying to gain weight, and unsuccessfully too. Sam: Four tea spoons of cornstarch, it’s going to thicken that bad boy up. Alright so this is going to go back in that pan. What’s going to happen now we are going to cook it to thicken all this liquid. And kind of make what would normally be a cherry pie filling. It doesn’t take long to thicken this because the cornstarch is pretty effective. I seem to recall a story that entailed food poisoning. Is this an embarrassing story? Kim: Not for me. Matt: It was actually the first time Kim and I communicated. What was that like five years ago? She had some obsession with letters and postcards and stuff like that. And she had only met me like once when she asked me to send her a postcard. And I was in Portland, and I went to food not bombs, where they dig all the food out of the trash. And I got totally, totally sick. I felt like I had taken this gunshot to the gut. It was the worst pain I have ever been in, and good old food did it to me. Sam: Not good old food. Matt: No, no, no it was food. But yeah I wrote a letter to Kim with all the horrifying details of being on the bathroom floor of a burger king trying to suck in the cold from the tiles. Because I felt like I was on fire. Kim: But in the letter he explained how he stripped down to his underwear and was lying on the floor in the burger kind bathroom. Matt: I had, people would walk in and see me and think I am some drug addict and just walk back out. But that, for some reason I didn’t know Kim but I wrote her all the details of that, because it was that day. Kim: You knew what type of girl I was. Matt: Yeah, yeah and that was our first correspondence. Sam: Do you still have the note? Kim: Yep. Sam: Is that framed in the bathroom? Kim: That’s actually a good idea. Sam: I would have that framed ad put it right in the bathroom. Matt: Yes this is a cooking show and I am talking about… Aren’t you supposed to not talk about this during dinner? Sam: We do everything different around here. Matt: Ok, cool. Sam: So we are just trying to get this to tighten up a little bit. Even though its going got go in the oven and its going to tighten u in the oven. But you know that’s our filling. Pretend that’s cherries. Kim: It really looks like it. Sam: It is it’s a sexy kind of mixture. Matt: It does smell good. Sam: You sound so surprised still, like… Matt: I doubt it, I’m telling you. Sam: We are going to pour it in here. Boom, alright and then we have that topping that you guys made. Just kind of cover it like this. Then we have an oven, three hundred and fifty degrees for about thirty five to forty five minutes, like so and that’s it. Kim: That’s where the magic happens. Sam: Yeah, the magic happens in that stove. Oh cobblers ready, it’s hot. Hot, hot. Alright so that is finite, it is a crazy way to eat olives. Matt: You would not expect that that is olives. Sam: It is blazing hot, alright that is it that is the black olive cobbler, for Matt and Kim.
