Breaking news: for some reason someone has been the first person to put food on a charger

[@MeganBatoon]

i mean i guess i'll do it

[@jarsofc555]

I don’t think they’re necessarily coated in food-safe material.

[@alexjohnson111]

On a spontaneous valenitnes night several years ago, after work I took myself out for beer and wings. The server wrote a heart on my receipt. Now that I see this, I might do something similar at home this year. (A faux receipt with a heart included.)

[@heymakaryna]

“You never know how weird you really are until you are yourself completely and someone goes 👁👄👁” I felt this in the deepest part of my inner being

[@AlyssaCeline]

me too 😅

[@andreeaLnedelea]

Same 😁

[@nae2186]

Literalllyyyyyyyy, yess.

[@andreahendricks6547]

* Megan sitting on the table talking about love * - Reminds me of a narrative scene in a movie I've never watched before.

[@carolina7902]

Yesss this is what distinguishes her from typical interior design stuff lol

[@AverageJoeTwoPoint0]

"COULD BE" WATCHING IT WHEN YOU UPLOAD IT?! Megan, I am a very simple guy. You upload. I click and 'like'

[@MeganBatoon]

my style

[@alexjohnson111]

Also, love that hard cut 10:31 to you just on the table. Just being great.

[@Ian.Ressler2]

Only og’s remember when she did collabs with Team Edge

[@firstclasspassenger]

Collars?

[@chellebean8925]

@@firstclasspassenger think them meant collabs... she did several and the vibes between her and Joey were strong!

[@supergorilla95]

Only REAL og’s remember when she was on internet icon

[@Ian.Ressler2]

@@supergorilla95 that’s true

[@graciecoleman8424]

only real OGs remember when her hair was red

[@candysorbaii]

I can’t wait to watch this in three years in October

[@mekaylarak]

Could watch you put together tablescapes ALL DAY LONG 🤤

[@kevincastillo7447]

I love your vibe! And love your cooking videos and I gotta tell you my girlfriend loves the meals when I cook them!!! Definitely doing this for Valentine’s Day thank you Megan!!!

[@kevincastillo7447]

Damn just cause you like my comment I’m buying merch 😭 😭!!!

[@allan_bomb]

I love the evolution of Megan.

[@richardvaldes4514]

This is great but I'll stick to my normal Valentine's day ritual of eating an entire large pizza by myself

[@MeganBatoon]

honestly still great

[@MegaSmurfster]

I broke my leg in January and so I’ve been in pyjamas, unable to do anything for the last month and a half. I watched this and went and put some normal (leggings because I still have a cast on and let’s be real, we aren’t going anywhere) clothes on, did my face and hair and put my jewellery on. Feels so good! Needed a bit of normality back to my life! 😍

[@jarsofc555]

I would worry about serving food on a charger plate, unless I knew for sure it was coated in food-safe material. I would guess the ones you used probably aren’t, given they’re wood.

[@TaneaTerracotta]

“No....., yes.” My fav part 😂

[@l3genD4Ry288]

Why would we need a valentines date when we have you Megan Batoon!

[@elizap3614]

I’m here for this look.

[@KAMILkamil20001]

This time I'm prepared I did food for me before watching! You won't break me with this delicious looking food!

[@paiton21]

Queen

[@amandarogers6161]

I dont think much of valentines day, whether i have a boyfriend or not, its always been meh to me. Either way, its a perfect chance to do some self loving.💙

[@kalasking]

That slow zoom while you were laying on the table ON TOP OF this being a 4K video was so C I N E M A T I C where the black bars at?!

[@lilydaquila9847]

This is danger-zone. I'm commenting as I watch this and I was so anxious when you started sharpening your knife. It worked out, though. Your charger really elevated your presentation. I could also eat a bag of those crispies off the foil 😄 "...let's talk about glassware..."

[@Kgrfhyfgjgfdxghgv]

I’m definitely gonna come back here in three years on October

[@evechevee]

The sauce on the cameraaaaa 😭 me too

[@mariahmendoza7524]

Those plates and table-scape, love it! Where are these plates from? Danger Zone

[@redbulaklak]

love you Megan

[@OsLopezAndOz]

Hoping your taquitos stayed warm. *biggest concern 🤣

[@firstclasspassenger]

Hunger Hack is my guiding principle in life from here on out

[@Bella-qh2rs]

THE GRINCH 😂😂

[@annabel_182]

omg i had no idea you were filipino! 🇵🇭sinigang gang 😤

[@samantha.-.-]

[@MeganBatoon]

[@demilynn4179]

she is so gorgeous and sweet... I can´t ...

[@jemmiealeinn]

Megan I've been watching you since forever and Im this age old when I knew you are Filipino 😭💜

[@Guyver02USA]

- Same here ! 😧

[@presh2711]

3 yrs from now in october bahahaha

[@goodeffinguy]

Me seeing the tablescape: Ooohh a cozy and warm setting. Also me: FIRE HAZARD!

[@Jaderaidespoon]

I want to be Megan when I grow up and she’s not even that much older than me

[@oofloaf487]

✨PLEASE SUGGEST UR FAVORITE WINE 🍷✨

[@oofloaf487]

How u began drink wine story. What kind of wine u don't suggest. What types of wine u love or have. Where u keep it all. And just make it a whole video or story about it pls. 🍷

[@elizabethevanskiikka2184]

If Casey Neistat and Martha Stewart had a baby...

[@victoriavvc]

I made a joke to my best friend that Megan is who I see myself as like, 5 years from now when I'm not 300 pounds.... but then she said she doesn't like pink.....

[@gracemoreno6778]

Im guessing this is a date by herself no offense lol

[@elizabethannfarrow1971]

I don't hv any wine,just Cherry ~Coke aka Cherry kick.

[@peyton3011]

this is a danger zone!

[@hgbeta]

This is danger-zone!

[@Joe.D.Sheppard]

This is danger-zone. As is my self loathing. 😅

[@janelleeus4534]

This is danger zone ⚠️

[@LauRoxanne]

"three years from now in October" I know what she meant, but my mind immediately thought "3 years till October 2021? ...sounds about right"

[@ssonjastar]

Someone watching this three years from now in October: 👁👄👁

[@Maroibenkhira]

Yes I did go back and raised my glass of water at 1 am and tapped the screen for that self love cheers...

[@MeganBatoon]

aaaaand thengyu smuch

[@archiezadisca]

Megan: "3 years from now on October" Me: *Date saved

[@Duaneoca]

And here I am saying buh-buh-Batoon all by myself at the end. Did anyone else miss it? :)

[@Paybroooks]

"... ... ... ... tastes like wine" I CACKLED

[@sharmeenjaffry72]

I will come back 3 years from now in October and rewatch this video.

[@misteranderson8280]

When you sharpen a knife it removes metal flakes... all over your chopping board

[@theresatran]

doing a galentine's this year with one of my best friends and tbh it's the most excited ive been for a valentines day (even more excited than when i was with my ex oops lmfaoo)

[@theduck3795]

I'm in a long distance relationship this year so I'd say this valentine's day is.... both sad and full of pressure hahah Covid and 2020 definitely wrecked my ability to love myself in a healthy way, so maybe this year will be a change. ^^

[@sarahacosta2317]

Remember to wash your knives after you sharpen them!

[@hpforever15]

I’m so dang early, this is crazy! My favorite part of Wednesday is your videos for sure. Danger zone!!

[@MeganBatoon]

aww thank you! i love that you're here

[@krishiyga]

I swear Megan should be protected by all costs. She is precious! Love her so much! ToonSquad.

[@zachblack6750]

that is honing steel, not a knife sharpener. just fyi

[@harrowman6468]

You're awesome but the angle of the knife when you honed it hurt a bit X)

[@chalybion]

Danger-zone! But also, what happened to the sneeze batoon? :(

[@kleinem2648]

This is DANGER-ZONE: TOON-ZONE!!!

[@lornawindsor7819]

Absolutely nothing against you Megan (get that coin!) I just wish Hello Fresh had options to select specific allergens or ingredients to avoid.

[@amandabass9909]

Red qnd pink are ACCOSTING me 🤣 help

[@rmannayr2129]

IT TASTES LIKE WINE!!!!!!!!!!!

[@khiaratt]

what is that? jolibee spaghetti? 😂 now I'm craving

[@bennettmarie]

Hi, Megan! Love your videos, especially your cooking ones! Just wanted to note that what you used to "sharpen" your knife is actually a honing steel and is only meant to "straighten" the edge of the knife blade. If you really want to sharpen your knife, try a v-shaped one, or even bring it to a Sur la Table --they'll sharpen for $5!

[@eurikon9187]

Looks like a less oily lumpia...coz it's baked.. 😁🤭

[@l_7376]

Can't apply your discount code, it says the offer has expired.

[@AleciaNicholeWilson]

If you're in the UK or outside of America it does that for me every time she has a discount code for some reason...

[@hello_danielle]

So I just wanted to say this without sounding negative. I get hello fresh delivered almost weekly. Nothing against HF. Also nothing against brand videos, get your coin girl! Buuuut I would love to see what you cook for yourself when you don’t have hello fresh. With peace and love!

[@MeganBatoon]

i don't cook my own recipes anymore because of my anxiety, so this is a really big help in self care for me, BUT i do have an entire playlist of those types of videos! hope this helps :) kzbin.info/aero/PLfCXHF-WgeoGjzlyYSlmtD3qTiyKY6qv5

[@hello_danielle]

@@MeganBatoon Oh ok no worries! I didn't know that. :) Thank you for sharing the playlist!

[@halahlo7007]

I like yr hair

[@viennarosenavarez3745]

See ya October 11, 2024

[@JuliaPennyPhoenix]

Megan you are literally the most amazing human!! You are so relatable and I love you being your self!! You are perfect!! Love you! Love your channel! Never change your perfect personality!! Also I love people who use hand gestures!! 😍❤️

[@SkipToMyLumpia]

no batoon sneeze at the end caught me off guard. what is going on?! this is danger-zone!

[@tamiachauke2969]

8:19 I love how guacamole was just chilling on her camera lenses Love your vids❤️

[@Mike08651]

Umm *Hello Fresh* I hope that was not suppose to feed a *family of four* 😳 Well at least it seemed delicious 🤷‍♂️

[@MeganBatoon]

lolol no no, i use the leftovers to eat throughout the week

[@charrols]

*sets google reminder for October 2024*

[@m.thompson3919]

I can't wait to see the slew of comments and "😱🤯" emojis from people watching this video 3 years from now in October. 🤣

[@rmannayr2129]

THIS MIGHT BE THE WEIRDEST ANGLE IN KZbin HISTORY!

[@moabubben4709]

Yes

[@rmannayr2129]

COLD LEFTOVERS ARE A FORM OF SELF LOVE FOR SURE!

[@rmannayr2129]

I COULD EAT A BAG OF THESE!

[@SDPTheGhost]

That metaphorical about ceramic 😢

[@1313hao]

I've been told I gesticulate a lot when I talk.....I thought it was my upbringing as a French Canadian.....my family says it's just me. I just own it now 😬

[@NovaWarrior77]

This is so soul healing. I don't know why.

[@GG_Metta]

Can we talk about how gorgeous you look? So elegant and classy Ms. Batoon! Jazz music and pork... Cheers! 🥂 6:45

[@wakan14]

Maybe.....not so much dried plant material around all the open flames? (Yes, I watched the whole vid and THAT'S what I came away with.)

[@makaylarobinson6904]

Ughhh you're just so amazing🙌🏾🙌🏾❤

[@Torsee]

Did you get the sauce off the camera lens? Eeew... 😂 Love your videos! And I appreciate you!

[@Mayyccaa]

Dude yes!!! I was looking for this haha what a coincidence you uploaded when I was in the search for ideas. Thnx!

[@Bidsquilly]

Love your content! But I do wish you would disclose your sponsorships...

[@emilymoyer5018]

Tried so hard to find the double sided tealight/taper candle holders from h and m home and couldn’t find them 😓😭😭😭😭

[@whatthefrenchtoastsn]

Watching this at 4am before work and when you said the grinch I lost it 😂 and had to quiet down because my family is sleeping. Thank you for that good laugh

[@amydand]

Seven minutes in the video starts just FYI - must have owed hello fresh for a while because damn that was the longest commercial I’ve ever seen!

[@bluecrosby2325]

Please clean your microwave with windex, it is very distraction

[@hugitkissitloveit8640]

Darling, you look fantastic! I don't know what it is.. maybe a new highlighter? 👌🏼

[@Jaderaidespoon]

Ah yes dried flowers next to very open flames very Megan

[@sydneyfaithbermas8905]

Can you recommend to me more books than are on your website????

[@MrFi4fuled]

Why isn't she sneezing at the End? :( #Bringbackthesneeze

[@JosephhV08]

Thanks hello fresh. For ruining another video
