How to make the perfect Carbonara pasta

Hello and welcome back to my fridge.

So we have some rice,

but today I don't want rice. I want some

carbonara,

creamy sanig with specks.

So I need my bacon and carbonara

sauce. What else do we need? Oh,

mushrooms. So I've already prepared the

pasta to save some time. I would never

waste your precious time. So I guess same

as before, we just need to prepare the

mushrooms a little bit. It's quite a lot

of mushrooms you get. Oh, why is there

this weird stringy thing in there? Looks

like hair.

Prepare your mushrooms. We need

to prepare the

mushrooms.

Mushrooms are weird-looking things,

aren't they? Are they vegetables?

I guess they're kind of like vegetables,

aren't they? And then we need some spring

onions, which I put in this— ow! Stupid

candle. Put my spring onions in this

glass of water so maybe they'll grow and

I'll have infinite onions. I won't have to

buy any more.

So cut some onions off.

Do you think it hurts the onion when I'm

cutting it? No, Daniel, don't cut me in

half.

I didn't do anything wrong.

I think we need smaller mushrooms because

it has to go into the pasta.

It's so painful using these left-handed

scissors, digging into my thumb.

So annoying.

I think that's small enough for the

mushrooms. Yep,

yep, yep.

And then add some bacon.

Looking good.

This mushroom's a bit big.

Next, we're going to add the pasta. Um,

to the frying pan and

turn off— turn the heat down to

low heat. And then you get your carbonara

sauce and then pour it straight on like

that. Oh, I forgot my peas.

And then mix that around.

Mix it about. We might need more carbonara

sauce. Smells pretty good.

Yeah, I'm going to add a tiny bit more

Oh look, there's enough for another

serving. Pretty good. It's kind

of strange to have sauce in a cardboard

box. You think of a cardboard box, you

think of cereal, not pasta sauce.

Wow, that actually looks quite good.

If I do say so myself. Hopefully it's

not too salty.

Okay, I think that's pretty well mixed.

Ta-da! Looks pretty good.

Mm-hmm.

Wow, that's pretty good. I don't want

to sound like I'm boasting, but this is

really good. The bacon and the peas go

really well. With the creaminess.

Hmm, I actually

made a good meal without messing it up.

It's a Christmas miracle.

So I want to talk about my recent video,

the Filthy Frank video.

Right now it has about 14,000 views,

which I think is not bad. It's not

amazing. It's not 20,000, but I'll take

14,000 if it means I can keep certain

parts of my life private and I don't have

to damage relationships between me and

people that I care about. Um,

yeah, I was quite pleased with the

feedback from the video as well. A lot of

people found it funny, which was the whole

point. The whole point was, was to have

like a cynical, sarcastic kind of

tongue-in-cheek rant about these tiny

Japanese channels blowing up, and I feel

like I achieved that.

Obviously, there were still some idiots in

the comment section not understanding that

I was joking when I said stuff like, I

don't have an accent. This is just how

words sound when they're pronounced

properly. Had a couple of people have a go

at me saying that, Daniel, you don't

pronounce everything properly either and

you make grammatical mistakes as well.

Yeah, I know. That's the whole point.

It's called a joke. It's not supposed to

be taken seriously. And I even got a

couple thousand views on that Filthy Frank

video from search results. When I checked

Discovery, it said about 17% of the views

came from people searching Japanese

reaction to Filthy Frank and Filthy Frank

stuff. So that could be something I could

continue doing. Ouch.

I could continue making videos about

topics that people are searching for.

Which is something I don't usually do for

some reason. And I still— I feel

like it's amazing my channel has lasted

this long without me making any videos

about popular topics or trending things.

Something I've always avoided because I'm

never really that interested in what's

trending or what's popular. I'm more

interested in talking about what's going

on with me and what I'm doing. And maybe

that's why the channel hasn't really been

growing at all. It's because I'm not

making videos about topics that could

reach new people. I'm just constantly

making videos about my own life,

and people don't really know about me

because I'm not this massively huge,

hugely well-known person.

So I am starting to feel like this is a

good time to shift from making content

entirely about my private life to cutting

back, cutting down a bit on sharing my

private life. Obviously, I still share

some of it, just, just not when it comes

to relationships and girls. I still want

to stick by what I said a couple months

ago, and I think I should start shifting

towards making kind of commentary videos,

giving my opinions on popular subjects,

maybe. It just takes a

little bit more work because I have to do

research. I guess I don't have to. I could

just talk a load of rubbish. That's what I

do in most of my videos anyway. When do I

ever do research and actually talk about

things and, and say things that make

sense? So what do I do every day these

days? I've just been concentrating on

making videos because Um,

I'm gonna be busy. Hopefully I

will be busy next week.

So I've been preparing a backlog of

videos. I've prepared about 5 videos now.

That was that. Scared me.

Someone slammed the door.

So I've been just focusing on making lots

of videos that I can upload later when I

need— when I need to. And after

I finish making videos, I do some

exercise. I'm doing about 100 push-ups a

day, I think maybe more. I can usually do

about 30 push-ups in a row, which is

pretty good. I was struggling to even do

15 when I began, but now I can do about— I

can blitz through 20 easily, and then the

final 10 or 12 is a bit of a struggle. So

I do about 4 of those. So I do about 100

pushups in a day. There's actually a video

I found from this other guy who did the

same thing. He did 100 pushups a day for

30 days, and then he measured, um, he

measured his body before and after, and

the size of his biceps and his arms and

shoulders actually got bigger by about an

inch and a half by doing that every day.

So I'm not sure if it's just my

imagination, but I do feel like my arms,

my shoulders, my chest area has gotten a

bit bigger. So that's quite encouraging.

I'm going to carry on doing push-ups. I

made this makeshift dumbbell. There's no

weights here, so I found a fire

extinguisher and then 4 books, and I put

them into my shopping bag, and then I used

a broomstick I put that onto the handles

as like a handlebar to lift, but I don't

think it's a very good idea. My shoulder

joint feels a bit painful actually. Maybe

it's not very good to lift that.

I just really want something to lift. I

feel like just doing push-ups is not

enough. I want to do some pull-ups as

well. Maybe I could find a gym

or just buy some dumbbells, but then if I

buy dumbbells, I have to take them around

with me and it's pretty heavy. And then

after I finished making videos and doing

cooking videos and doing some OnlyFans

stuff and exercising, it's usually about 6

PM by then. So I make dinner and then I

would turn on the TV. It's German TV.

There is Netflix and YouTube and stuff,

but I'm too lazy to log in, so I just

watch German TV. I'm watching a lot of

history channels, kind of like, um,

What's, what's that show we had in

England? Impressive Engineering or

something like that. They have a show kind

of like that here as well, but it's all in

German and I don't really understand what

they're saying because they dub over the

English in German. But I feel like I'm

picking up a few words. I think die and

das means the, and I think mit

MIT means with, and I think,

uh, flug means fly, or is it flug?

I know Flughafen is airport.

I have no idea how to pronounce it.

China is China.

What else do I know? I know Eingang and

Ausgang, entrance, exit.

Um, yeah, I feel like I'm picking up a few

words here and there. I'm not really

trying to learn it, so this— I

guess it's not very impressive.

Uh, what else do I do? Oh, I play Mortal

Kombat whilst watching TV. It's just kind

of annoying because at this Airbnb, for

some reason, I can't connect my Switch to

the Wi-Fi. He set it up in this way that

won't let Switches connect to it. I don't

know why, and I don't know how to change

the settings of the Wi-Fi. I looked around

the Airbnb for the Wi-Fi box, can't find

it, and there's a locked door with a

closet, so it might be in there,

but I don't know where he's put the Wi-Fi

box. So what I have to do is I have to

use my phone data as a mobile hotspot and

then connect my Switch to the mobile

hotspot. And it works okay, but it's kind

of laggy sometimes. Not every time, but

there is a fair amount of lag, and it kind

of sucks when you're trying to play Mortal

Kombat online. It really is a

good game. It really has— it has fulfilled

my cravings for a multiplayer online game.

That, that used to be the reason why

I was addicted to Rainbow Six. But Mortal

Kombat is pretty fun as well. I like it.

My favorite character is probably— well,

my main character used to be Baraka, but I

got bored, and then I switched to

Sub-Zero, then I got bored, and then now

I'm playing mainly Raiden, or Raiden.

He's quite fun to play.
