Ray repairs one handed -- Wife Unit cooks one handed -- a match made in heaven :-)

[@Michael-yi4mc]

I do something with my one hand that I can’t discuss here. KZbin is a family show.

[@Grumpy_Granddad]

@@Michael-yi4mc IKWYM - me too

[@armanger6254]

You need a cooking show now! Hope to see more. (5 Stars)

[@davedobson5869]

I like that Dave is warming to the camera and letting himself be seen more. Your a good man Dave, keep Ray honest and on his toes.

[@kooglehoffer6401]

Nothing better in this world than the aroma from moms cooking.

[@davej3487]

Moms crispy and spicy FRIED CHICKEN on Sunday dinner. OHHH YEAH! Mines been gone 22 years and I can still remember that smell.

[@peteraitken6494]

Looks real good Lauren need to give it a try nice video AAAnother lol 👍👌❤️🔧🔧🔧

[@paulocarvalho6480]

That "Another" shout had me laughing to tears. As for the food, I can't say anything because I've never tasted it, but it surely looks amazing. 10/10 for presentation.

[@adamlevin6088]

Yup, I laughed out loud at "ANOTHER!" can of Pam. Love it!

[@perustc9158]

Thank you so much for the positive videos. It is very uplifting and the family atmosphere from both of you is encouraging as well. Blessings!

[@jiminma50]

Like Ray says..."ANOTHER!!!!" LMAO

[@paulnorcross5954]

'Eye balling' content is an understatement and modest belief in your obvious skills at home and work. Lauren...you sure are one heaven of a 'wingman'...and pretty too.

[@notmeatall70s]

I love it when the parking lot is full and arod is down there doing work. As a small business owner, having no work is the worst feeling ever. Go guys!

[@yhird]

"Wife Unit Cookbook" has a nice ring to it Lauren :D Magnificent cooking. The food looks fantastic. Thanks for sharing. Cheers.

[@tinabouher2065]

Cook with wife unit !! Skill level: one handed ! I know what I’ll be making tonight xx

[@kevincurry4735]

ANOTHER! I just busted out laughing.😂🤣

[@cbart1987]

i plead the 5 th

[@mickeysadler5272]

Going to add that to my recipes. You need to do this more often.

[@Psichlo1]

That looks so good that I saved it to my recipe folder LOL.

[@Flastew]

It is always so cool seeing your perspective on the business and how much "extra" stuff you do. It is also cool when you have guests like Arod, it shows how Chevy and Ford guys can still get along. The food you make looks so good. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@Karl-Walter]

Everything happening on camera is just a really tiny fragment of the whole picture. It's very nice of you to share these little shards with us. Thank you.

[@nickathdd]

That food looks lovely. I am going to have to rewatch the video to write down the recipe and try it for me and the wife (I do all the cooking as she’s disabled) as we both love pasta. Keep up the good work Lauren. It’s always a pleasure to watch you and Ray.

[@BlackCloud82]

Lauren, wow! what a difference. You are very comfortable with the camera now, and even had some very tight shots which some would shy away from. I'd say you are a natural now; Ray can't even get you flustered too bad. Way to go! Plus, you made me very hungry with the pasta.

[@MsDavid115]

Mouth-watering delights with your cooking; awesome! In Saskatchewan, we just had several days of minus 40 Celsius which is 40 below zero Fahrenheit. We don't let the cold weather stop us from driving our cars. But, I wish we had good automotive technicians like Ray and your crew. Thanks for your awesome videos.

[@george8873]

A delightful video Lauren. Really made me laugh when you said "Another!" like Ray does when he runs out of brake cleaner, lol. The crockpot pasta looked delicious. Thanks for the video.

[@maybelater16645]

You are adorable you definitely brightens up the shop. Keep them coming.

[@moefuggerr2970]

Yum

[@WilliamHollinger2019]

Zapp's is owned by UTZ snacks I used to work for their pretzel division hot that what I can say when I work for them. Plus right now Sheetz up in PA is about $3.30/gal it used to be in $2 for Christmas season and they did 4 of July of $1.776/gal everyone was waiting inline for fuel.

[@simonworthington3330]

Always enjoy when you get back posting more videos and making a lovely meal indeed. Letting your hair down with a short cut and not in your cap. Garlic bread lovely indeed and so enjoyable. Tell Ray he is lucky to have a Hot wife Unit that can do many things and that pantry looks great and well stocked.

[@Salmomlox]

Lauren, you always impress me. I love your wife unit cups ☺ Cooking with one hand is definitely a talent not alone holding a camera in the other. That crockpot manicotti looks delicious and what an awesome idea. I'll have to try this. It speaks comfort food. Have an awesome day and see you on the next one.

[@timothyweers8054]

A good chef doesn't measure. You have a good eye for cooking.

[@bigal7561]

So cool seeing the Wife Unit Work Place sign I sent you on the wall. Thanks. It does look cool. Sent a wrench too that's cool. Love the channel and always look forward to your new content.

[@FelicianaDelacruz]

Amazing recipe! Thanks for sharing. :)

[@jamiepatterson1214]

I'm hungry! That looks amazing, and with that garlic bread, I'm hungry. It's good to see the shop being busy.

[@brad6665]

Lauren is a keeper, the pasta looks delicious, and Ray is spoiled rotten. You need to convince Ray to cook some and you do mechanic work. Bet that goes over like a lead balloon! Good job 👍👍

[@erikpreston1805]

We use the crock pot liners, makes cleanup simple and no greasing necessary.

[@kenmabie8029]

Gas in central coastal California, almost $5 a gallon. Glad I am retired. Not driving around half as much from when I was working. Florida is much less expensive to live in. Cheers!

[@ronhansen7717]

I love watching you and Ray, a great American family. Good job on a quick family meal. Please don't take this wrong, but I'm a bit of a food snob. I realize that you are running a business, raising a family and all around busy. I'm retired and do most of the cooking and rarely use any prepared foods/ingredients. If you enjoy cooking, check out my good friend's channel, Chef Jean Pierre. He does everything from how to use a knife to cooking gourmet meals, simple and easy.

[@Qwkynuf]

For what it's worth, Tillamook is a city in Oregon on the Pacific coast. The Tillamook Creamery is locally famous for their free tours and yummy samples. I grew up with it - my family lived about 20 miles away - and went through serious withdrawals when I moved to Alabama and then Georgia in the 80's and 90's. One year my father in law sent us eight 3lb bricks of cheddar for Christmas! They expanded to nationwide in the late 90's or early 00's, and with apologies to Wisconsin, they make the best cheddar cheese in the US.

[@golf25radioman]

I LOVE IT - "Cooking With Lauren" - what a great recipe idea. I'm definitely going to use that one. Simple and delicious. Save a plate for me!!! 😋

[@ken2tou]

That looks to be a delicious recipe! Thanks Lauren! One handed, no less! Well done!

[@courtneesdad]

I love that red Ford truck. They took care of it.

[@jilbertb]

👀 Look at YOU guys! Long sleeve shirts and winter hats! 65° is shorts weather up north! 😂 I paid $2.59 today for reg in MN. Dinner looks GOOD, but i don't have a crockpot... instantpot? I make something similar, chili with elbows in it, my son devours it. Don't be a stranger! ❤

[@BeardedFordTech]

That is the same Publix Me Aaron and Andrew stopped at when we were there last month. Pick Aaron up from airport. First stop. PUB SUB! Business is booming. You guys are doing awesome.

[@MrTex1954]

Oh man! I'm hungry now! 😂

[@garyosborne8906]

How is it that I can smell the aroma from my computer? Looks so good. You’re a good little wife unit!

[@brianpagemodeltrains]

That's hysterical - I can just picture you throwing the Pam can across the kitchen floor...

[@merlinrussell9856]

Sure looks good. Great job, Lauren.

[@oimpastato]

“Anotheraaaa”! lol. Nice one and Buon Appetito!!! To your health.

[@chrischallacombe3477]

Thanks for the cooking vid Lauren....looks like a good recipe! Would you please inform Ray that Chris asked you to banish him to the couch if he keeps showing brake clean shots without the awesome sound effects! Love you guys both! Cheers!

[@patrickdiehl6813]

I am Sooo hungry now!!!! Always love your videos. Good to see Aaron getting work in your shop also👍Bon Aplite!!!!

[@timothyfry8470]

That looks delicious

[@mlieser1230]

It's 15 degrees in CT. Gas is around $3.50 a gallon. The crockpot manicotti looks delicious!

[@Kafroonkaboo]

Wonderful video, Lauren! Thanks for taking the time out of your VERY busy day to keep up informed and entertained! Greatly appreciated! 😊😊😊

[@garybrunet6346]

Look delicious, Lauren! Definitely, 5 Star,❤️🇨🇦

[@daverson1508]

Very well done! * * * * * Wow! Tillamook Cheese in Florida. From my State, Oregon. 😊

[@Wakeupandsniffthecoffee]

Just got a flyer for Publix here in Virginia. Never heard of it. I guess it's new to our area. I'll have to check it out. Crock pots and air fryers are the bomb! I love them.

[@jonathantolbert4176]

Need more content. Love the channels. Love seeing both sides of your channel and your husband's

[@ghazwanh4259]

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐💯 it looks very delicious.👌 you made me hungry 😋

[@davidweaver4702]

Definitely a 5 star review here. I wonder if you can guess what we are having for tea tonight ? Great work. Loved it 5 🌟

[@newsnowriversidesgtrock]

😀👍Yeah! Wife Unit! Tell Ray to get a "Wild Fire Lift." They are so much safer. And can be moved. They do not need to be anchored to the floor. Big, big benefit is that they will still belong to Ray even if he needs to move to a larger space. I think that money invested in that shop will stay there when/if you leave.

[@DeanCharles123]

Great idea sharing some of your cooking ideas!!

[@rustyrobinson8027]

Thanks wife unit you're awesome 😎

[@Impeeza]

Thank you for sharing you recipe and you great time with us!

[@patrickgoodwin3085]

This was a lot of fun and it was nice to see another video from you. As for fuel prices, we've been at $2.79 - $2.89 since late November.

[@kingranch8516]

Nicely done wife unit. Keep them boys in line

[@DavidMiller-q1e]

Great video taking care of the "boys" hunger issues 🙂LOL Our gas prices are 2.58 East TN. Knoxville area. You are showing off your cooking skills. Thank you .

[@adamness9557]

Recipe sounds great. So I just made it for Saturday dinner. Grand kids and I love it. Thank you.

[@garyholt369]

I'm going to rewatch this video. And try to Make that myself.

[@waffalobill]

We made this yesterday. It is great! Thanks for the video. If anyone is on the fence about this it's so easy to make and tastes great. I almost ate it for breakfast. Making me hungry typing. this. We used shell pasta.

[@waffalobill]

Was hoping you read this Mrs Ray. Lol. See you did. It was great. Not kidding. Ty.

[@brianpiper3188]

I'm Italian, that sounds really good right now! 😃

[@charlesgeise6508]

Been to tillamook Oregon toured their plant very interesting. Their ice cream if fantastic.

[@rickydonahue1586]

You made me sooo HUNGRY!!! That looks really good. I can't wait to see what's next.😁

[@sammorgan2390]

Great job. Love all the sounds of family and friends

[@trucker-mr9gi]

Gas prices in north Dakota are about twenty cents cheaper. Please send the warm weather up here. We are still hovering around 0 degrees.

[@Annerob64]

Nice video, again! Thanks! It was a pleasure to see you cooking with pleasure! Too bad I don't like cheese at all. And then to know I'm Dutch 😂😂😂 Oh yeah, the gas prices... Here in the Netherlands it is about 2 Euro a liter. That's about $ 8,20 a gallon. That's why most people here don't drive trucks or V8's... ☹️

[@not-a-raccoon]

Here in Norway fuel prices have gone down. It's 18 kroners per liter. Which works out to around 6.84 per gallon

[@davidbotterill7549]

Food looks excellent! Loved the “anotherrrr”!”. Dave Birmingham

[@jamessowards3822]

This is the longest video you have ever made. I like it.

[@heckelphon]

You feed the guys well, Lauren! Talking of gas prices, that $2.99 at Rivers Edge is for regular I guess? Well here in the UK it's started going up again with the side effects of the actions in the Red Sea, so it's around $6.72 a US gallon for us!

[@wifeunit]

Wow!!

[@InsideOfMyOwnMind]

Def gonna make this on the next holiday neighborhood cookout. Looks so yummy!

[@davidbaize4825]

Just got my Rainman Rays cup in, and, I have to say the quality is top notch!!! Also, my Yeti tumbler top fits it perfectly 😁👍

[@captainken6310]

Nice pasta recipe, I'm gonna have to give it a try!... 😁✌️

[@landonashby2029]

Num num num num num! 😋 5 nums, way better than 5 Stars any day! 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

[@russelbaird3342]

Looks very good , you will need to keep servings at the shop for those need a pick me up days 👍

[@darrellkirksey17]

I love it hopefully we try it tomorrow...thanks for sharing.

[@JimMcKim]

Looks good Rayyum yum

[@Cowboy350]

Liked

[@simonbradford6774]

A very confident commentary. It’s interesting to see the differences between an American family and area and here (UK). You may (or may not) be interested to hear that the cost of 10% ethanol fuel here is £1.40/litre or $5.37/US Gallon. With distances being so much less here I use a plug in hybrid with 60 mile range, that covers most of my journeys so I rarely buy fuel unless doing a longer journey. Here a longer journey is say 300 miles return.

[@dianab3827]

That pasta looks great.

[@dineshmistry1637]

thanks for sharing your recipe I will try to get the family to try it.👍

[@brucewood4652]

That looks very delicious I wish I was there to try some! Bon appetit!

[@eddielasater1459]

Keep up the good great work Ray is lucky to have you to help keep him in line hahaha he would be lost with out you

[@AJwoodway]

We left Florida a few years ago. Man I miss those Publix subs! Cold Italian sub with lettuce, peppers, onion and oil/vinegar.

[@wendellvanett9967]

5 Stars, I'm going to try that recipe! It looks sooo good !!!!! Love your vids !!!!!

[@rjb6327]

Always nice to see Lauren. Shameless promotion. 🤨😃 The truck is a substitute for a small ............. (fill in the blank) What does "ORGANIC" pasta mean, besides your going to pay more for it? Lauren. You ever use crock pot bags? Best thing ever made. No clean up. 😁Look for Reynolds Kitchens Slow Cooker Liners. I will try the recipe. 👍

[@kevinmccarthy1076]

I'm gonna try this! I love crock pot cooking

[@brianshopsky]

Looks great I know it was good because it looks good

[@ziggy4465]

Crockpot lasagna…awesome! Something new to try.😁

[@Quentin0352]

You should try a Mississippi Pot Roast if you haven't already. Super easy and tasty. Also kick Rick in to gettin a Sous Vide, Food saver and some bags. We hit Sam's Club, seperate things and put them in the food saver bags with some seasonings. Then you just freeze it all and pull out a bag to drop in the sous vide. You can even drop it in the morning and not worry the food will be over cooked or burnt. Some can even be controlled by an app to trun on later in the day or even over the internet. My wife was iffy when I got her one and she fell in love with it in the first 2 weeks.

[@g-man7938]

Man that pasta looks sooo good.👍

[@richardsquires6534]

How about a segment about what mechanics eat? ANYTHING!!! This is the voice of experience. Lol 0:01

[@geoffreysmith3196]

I'm definitely going to try this recipe, with minor changes based on prefernce of course. For instance I'll use diced tomatoes instead of tomato sauce, and I'll try batches with and without the addition of browned ground sweet Italian sausage to the sauce, just to see how that changes the flavor. Thanks for the idea, this dish looks delicious.

[@stephenlewis7228]

Now that looked absolutely delicious... Let me know when you make it next and I'll book a flight 😊

[@domlong3330]

thanks for showing me how to make the dish . i will have to try it some time and see what my family thinks of it.
