Listen "Finding Home"
Episode Synopsis
Betina and Jen discover they have diametrically opposite versions of a perfect night at home. Even though she recently relocated from California to the Midwest, Betina is closer to home than she’s ever been. After years spent feeling homeless within herself, Jen decks out her house with everything her childhood self would have wanted and describes how she transformed her value system to bring family into the center. Betina teaches Jen how to cook with abandon and abundance, never leaving out the secret ingredient of love.Show Notes:00:00 Finding home for Betina02:07 Betina’s ideal night at home05:25 Jen’s ideal night at home07:20 Finding home for Jen13:30 “Arranged Marriage”17:10 Relationship growth21:00 Cheese sauce24:41 Ineffable qualities28:35 Winning the family lottery31:15 Betina’s story of Harshil’s generosity35:00 Ernie and Harshil getting into it over Steve Harvey36:20 What makes home for Betina40:07 Cooking with abundance47:51 Jen’s psychological complex about serving food50:22 Betina’s love language of preparing a meal53:00 Maya’s Indian Wedding (1st birthday party)56:00 All about the nucleus of the family57:33 Perfectionism crowds out love59:15 Betina’s 100%1:01:48 Recipes1:14:48 Betina’s natural confidence / Jen’s confidence role modelBetina’s TacosTo a medium-sized skillet, add:1 lb. ground turkey1/3 small white onion chopped1/3 bunch cilantro choppedLightly sprinkle:· Lawry’s Seasoning Salt· Garlic powder· Cajun seasoning· Black pepperAnd brown the meatI remove excess liquid from browning the meatThen add 1 Lawry’s Taco Seasoning packet and ½ cup of water, and simmer to let the flavors come togetherChop your desired toppings:Tomato, red onion, more cilantroSlice avocadoShred cheese and lettuceFry the corn tortillasLayer tacos as desired, adding sour cream and salsa to tasteJen’s Salsa CrudaChop:3-4 large tomatoes2 chilis (anaheim or serrano)2 jalapenos5 green onionsAdd 1 tsp of the following:Ground cuminFresh lime juiceSugarFresh cilantroSalt and pepper to tasteMusic Credits:0:00 “For My Good” - AFTR16:57 “Wild Nights (Instrumental Version)” - Shy5’24:31 “Catalpa Cafe” - Dylan Sitts36:02 “All In” - Nbhd Nick47:40 “Lucky Shot” - El Flaco Collective1:01:36 “Pass the Plate” - JOYSPRING1:19:20 “All In” - Nbhd NickFollow on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/whatsthetemp_Follow on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61574886555852Contact:[email protected]
