Travel DRAMA, Drawing & Yarn Haul Unboxing - Art Vlog

[@gwendlynemarin7181]

The "bleaching" of eggs is just a myth. Different types of chickens produce different color eggs. Its as simple as that. Bleaching used to be a thing they did but it was just for sanitation. It especially does not make sense in the US because brown eggs here are often more expensive. No farmer is going to do something to their product that actively reduces the price. At least not here in America.

[@DoodleDate]

That's so crazy that they charge different prices O:

[@shancakes]

I’m in the US and I only buy brown eggs. I’m not sure I can tell the difference, but psychologically they taste better! Also thanks for the fun egg facts. 😊

[@samarnadra]

Can confirm that while the water we use to wash them to clean them might be chlorinated, so is normal tap water, to prevent water-borne diseases like cholera and dysentery. Yours is too. It isn't enough to bleach eggs, and doing so would likely damage them and weaken their structural integrity and thus cost them more money. Brown eggs and white eggs aren't nutritionally different at all, but the places that feed the chickens a specialty diet or do cage free or free-range tend to also choose breeds that happen to lay brown eggs because people think the eggs look more "natural" when eggs are eggs. Really the rule of thumb is if they have been pre-washed, you refrigerate them and usually rinse before use. If they haven't, you can keep them on the counter, and I don't know if you all rinse your eggs before use. You don't refrigerate unwashed eggs, and you don't leave washed eggs on the counter.

[@drawingfandome]

This! But I will say in general the uk and Ireland has sticker laws about produce and poultry and don’t allow five billion preservatives to be shoved into their poultry like in America so it will taste fresher, not to mention it’s greener over their so the animals eat fresher too! Like I don’t even think in uk they do crazy stuff like keeping animals meant to be food in a small caged area like a factory farm as we do in America 90% if not 100% of their animal product is produced cage free by nature/culture And if I am wrong and they do still cage them I know they still regulate how their treated o it’s more like the way one would cage pet farm animals. As opposed to Americas practices which are just…💀

[@wynngwynn]

the only thing different is the eggs are cleaned so they have to be refrigerated. You can get brown eggs in the US.

[@painterlypotts]

Aww, presents after a bad day are always a good shout. I'm glad that fella got off the tracks and some help! At this rate Steph's gonna make a whole English breakfast out of yarn!

[@DoodleDate]

That sounds so cute and delicious omggg

[@eliteunicorns]

Free range Stephs produce wonderful crochet and give Adam anxiety. Very cool 😎👍 crochet update.

[@DoodleDate]

Thank you Unicorns! 😊

[@ksen1011]

First off, CHICAGO MENTIONED!! 😂 11:59. Second! If you wanna see even smaller crocheting, there's a channel on here that's making thumb sized granny squares to put together into a human sized blanket. I can't remember the name but looking up "mini granny squares" should bring them up. The "yarn" is like embroidery floss or thread. It's awesome!

[@blueberry_lemon]

It's been fun seeing Steph's crochet! I started knitting yesterday at age 24 (on impulse after finding knitting needles and yarn in the basement)! It's such a great feeling, making something out of nothing!

[@parrotperson]

I’m a disabled and autistic person and my partner is also my carer, so I find a lot of comfort and relatability in your videos ❤

[@DoodleDate]

Aww and we really appreciate that so much! ❤

[@enchantedviolinart]

I’m glad Steph survived the train incident and that Adam survived his anxiety! The train driver gave lots of useful information. Last year I was on a train that caught fire and it was madness!

[@stroodledoodles]

Oh geez that train ride must've been so stressful, I hope the man was/is okay now

[@DoodleDate]

It really was! but honestly im just glad the person on the tracks was helped out

[@gabmatth]

as a farmer can confirm the washing process in the states (no longer?) includes bleaching lol just a rinsing/light brushing w a machine and a bit by hand to get any gross stuff off before we put them in cartons ANYWAY i appreciate the spoon theory reference and its perfect since shes cerealy haha (and she turned out great, adam u did an awesome job!!) and OMG STEPH THE CROCHET EGG I LOVE IT, i knit but i very much appreciate the crochet bits if you ever make your stephasocks channel a crochet thing, we should collab! (my knitting channel is called the Knit Witch Crafting Podcast, we could do a "make along" thing together!!)

[@DoodleDate]

Thank you so much! It's so cool to get official farmer confirmation too HAHA :D

[@chloe4983]

Hooray for Doodledate on Sunday!!! Honestly the best thing to come home to after work!! Glad you are both okay and safe 💙

[@DoodleDate]

We hope you had a great day Chloe, its great to see you :D

[@ShiningPlastic]

endin on a cliffhanger, how bold

[@DoodleDate]

gotta wait and see whats inside O:

[@ujlt7198]

Different colored eggs come from different colored chickens! The neighbor's chicken's usually lay white eggs. About time you made Steph that american pancake mix!!!! STEPH'S SHAPES LOOK LIKE CEREAL MARSHMALLOWS!!!!! Oh. Adam said that immediately after I excitedly typed it. The pizza is so cute I could cry. NOT THE TOAST OH MY GOOOD!!! THE EGG????!!!!! I'm dying to see more crochet content. Poor Steph! I've been in tons of solo-travel-disasters that ended with me bawling my eyes out on the phone, in public, to my bf. Hope she knows it's totally okay and feels all better soon. Hot girlies can have a little travel disaster, as a treat.

[@BunnyboiR]

Wow seeing Adam draw Stephs OC was so cool! The drawing was amazing and in such a little book as well. Whenever I draw I tend to draw in large sketchbooks so it’s really cool to see Adam draw so small. Keep up the great artwork!

[@DoodleDate]

Drawing in such a small sketchbook is a challenge for me but i cant resist the amazing prompts that Steph's put in there LOL

[@dianethoroughman9541]

Because we don't use antibiotics in chickens the eggs are washed. That washing makes them vulnerable to contamination thus they require refrigeration. As for color, different chicken breeds have differently colored eggs.

[@BK-oo1sy]

Only thing I can crochet are potholders, but they are easy and relaxing to make. Maybe I will try amigurumi some time soon. They are the reason I wanted to learn crochet but I never dared. I also thought, I would never understand that. I started knitting around christmas and am about to finisch my first sweater (full of mistakes but proud of it), so that comes first. I am really grateful to have the Internet to learn and to be able to watch your videos. Its relaxing. All the best wishes to the both of you 🎨🧶😊

[@DoodleDate]

YESSS I really am curious to try out amigurumi at some point, everything looks so cute!

[@ezmee81]

OMG I'm soooo like Steph with the 'phases' of hobbies! I learned crochet from KZbin in my thirties and really enjoyed it. I did it hard for a couple of years and then moved onto the next thing, every now and again I'll have another crochet phase and cycle through my other hobbies (currently just picked up knitting again!). Also love drawing/ art, jewellery making, paper craft, junk journals... the list goes on lol. I love dipping in and out/ cycling through crafts!

[@ameliamangham4460]

Hi doodle date! I’m so excited today because I’ve been working on t shirt designs for an Australian company who supports autistic artists from around the globe and I’ve just posted my third piece of art to the company and I’m so excited for them to be on clothes!

[@Tiarneashlee]

Steph needs to make a crochet KZbin channel, I love crochet and I love it even more that she does too! Makes me want to do it more! ❤

[@DoodleDate]

Crochet is so contagious i love watching others so it as well HAHA ❤

[@thatonejellifish1563]

My favorite part of the week :) I'm glad you guys can be part of my routine

[@DoodleDate]

Our pleasure! We love that youve allowed us to be part of your routine!

[@justv3289]

I’ve never heard of “egg bleaching”. There’s no color removed when they’re washed. Have you ever seen a green shelled egg? I’m not kidding some chickens lay colors other than white and brown. When one of our chickens first started to lay eggs she laid an egg within an egg and it was huge. It sounds crazy, but I have photos of it lol.

[@graciesugarbee]

Love how supportive y'all are of each other 🥹💜 steph is doing so well with the crochet! I love watching the progress.

[@DoodleDate]

Thank you! 😊 Everything is more enjoyable with someone cheering you on and believing you

[@TalCat]

ooohh! i just got some peach yarn in, too. can't wait to see what you make with it! and don't ever worry about being late on a trend, you could learn to crochet at 5 or 105 and it will be enjoyable no matter what.

[@DoodleDate]

Oooo do you have plans for your peach yarn? :D Aww and thanks for the pep talk! I feel like I've never seen someone that's learned to crochet or knit later in life, it feels like a skill that people are born with 😂 Its been so fun delving into a new art realm that didn't feel accessible previously!!

[@TalCat]

@@DoodleDate i'm so glad to see that you're taking full advantage of how much fun it is! every vlog, i'm so excited to see what you've made next! ^O^ and the peach yarn is for some OC critters that are from my art, their little faces and hands are peachy colored and i've been wanting to make them for like two years, but they never had peach in stock, haha. whatever is left will go towards making a donut plushie or two. :D

[@redbunnylips]

So cute Steph! Love the crochet. That egg❤ maybe a cupcake would be cute

[@redbunnylips]

Ahw just watched the end of the vlog. Adamo is so kind and caring. Totally get the anxiety when it comes to someone you love deeply. Happy everything turned out okay❤

[@thebestgingerninja98]

These vlogs are always so peaceful to draw along with. It’s the first sunny semi-warm day of the year so I’m on my porch watching and I don’t feel as alone. 💜

[@DoodleDate]

We're so happy to be keeping your company!

[@niatheelf]

Pizza pants: make a 2nd piece identical to it and join em at the crotch and sides, then as a challenge try and crochet a plush animal that could wear them! It reminds me of the clothes the Bratz Babyz dolls wear and would be so cute! Steph's work on her crochet has me inspired every time to work hard on my own hobbies haha. Also Adam's rendition of Honey Flakes was so cute!

[@DoodleDate]

HAHA Oh my god dressing up plushies with them is such a cute idea i love it!!

[@lara_capybara]

Steph, how do you not get really hungry crocheting those yummy looking and cute food items?

[@DoodleDate]

YESSS I want to eat all of the snacks HAHA

[@lennoxraynewood2741]

I recently seen a picture online and someone had a mixture of different colored chickens eggs in the carton along with the regular white and brown kind. Their was actually a pale pink, a very light blue and even a sage green color I wondered if the person had dyed them to look that way it could be possible. I can get both white and brown eggs at my store but usually end up buying white as they are cheaper but I prefer the brown ones they do taste better. I also prefer the washed eggs as I don’t trust leaving eggs out on the counter.

[@blueghostlight7521]

yay, just finished my red bubble haul and then the notification for the video popped up. sometimes, everything aligns

[@DoodleDate]

Thank you so much for your support blue! We really appreciate you :D

LIES I NEVER SEEN THEM

(to non-Americans, we don't bleqch our eggs white this is a myth)

Adam starting the vlog with fake egg news smh 😔

[@debsmith7050]

Have followed you for many years and i love your videos. I also crochet. ❤

[@DoodleDate]

[@NatalieStarn]

Steph, I don't want to give you a new obsession, but I think you would really take to knitting ❤❤❤. I feel like it's easier on the hands (I do both and have ehlers danlos, and crochet hurts my hands but knitting doesnt)

Thank you so much Raichu!!

[@Miggeamakes]

Folks have already told you the bleaching ain't a thing but at my current glance I didn't see anyone talk about the OTHER colours the lovely ladies can lay. My hens lay a few shades of brown, pink, cream, green and blue!

[@DoodleDate]

Blue?! This is nuts theyre laying a whole rainbow LOL

[@Miggeamakes]

@@DoodleDate I always try to put a mix of colours in every carton I sell hahahaha

[@brookelynrose]

You are so right about the crochet addiction, Steph! I started a couple of months ago and I can’t stop! 🧶

[@DoodleDate]

Once you have the basics down its so addicting to just try and make ALL THE THINGS~

[@mollylikesspace]

Its okay adam, dont feel bad for falling for the bleached egg myth😭 i only found out a few years ago that white chickens lay white eggs and brown chickens lay brown eggs. Which is crazy to me😭 but i get it, as someone whos also from the uk, ive only ever seen brown eggs over here. ALSO HUNNI LOOKS SO CUTE‼️‼️‼️‼️❤ EDIT: wasnt expecting the ending omfg, i hope the guys okay🥺

[@DoodleDate]

It seems like emergency services managed to talk him down which was honestly the best outcome!!

[@Velvet1001]

I finaly watched the new Vlog, loved it as always and am holding my breath in anticipation for Dogs With Jobs Coloring Book. You guys have always been a inspiration to me and i have been with this channel for like 6 years. Also i compleatly understand the Adam Anxiety Corner portion of the video, o am sombody who aslo freaks out alot about smaller thngs that will probably be fine

[@phedran]

Stephasocks could just be the rotating hyperfixation channel 💪😉

[@Lizzz549]

Steph you could make toast coasters or sandwich coasters. You could have jam or marmalade as an option or like sandwich ingredients like salads. Like lettuce, cucumber, cheese. You could have eggs. You could make bread coasters and toast coasters so it could be toast or a sandwich. Or what about like eight slices of pizza that come together to make a whole pizza. Maybe they could have different toppings which would look weird when the pizza is together maybe but each piece would be unique

[@dazeydaisy-pu6hl]

The pizza with the face is SO cute! Ugh-imagine green pepper eyebrows! 😂

[@DoodleDate]

HAHA that sounds adorable!!

[@lauracoleman8114]

The movie Coraline has micro crochet and knit. The woman who knit the sweaters used the equivalent of sewing needles. There is a video on you tube that shows behind the making of the movie. I knit socks on a 2.0mm needles. 72 stitches in each round. I love all the crochet items. It's so fun and creative.

[@DoodleDate]

Oh wow I love that movie!! I need to check out more of the behind the scenes :o

[@Ellwynnnnn]

I have taken inspiration from Steph! I didn't rage quit crochet because of her and I have learnt a few stitches (although I am still terrible lol). I have got a crochet ring to help with holding my yarn iin the right place which has helped a lot.

[@DoodleDate]

AWWW I'm so proud of you!!! It's infuriating to begin with but once it starts to click it becomes much more relaxing LOL. I need to get one of those tension rings eventually, I feel like my fingers can get a bit crampy from holding the yarn for too long

[@Ellwynnnnn]

@@DoodleDate Yes, they are helpful and there's a lot less adjusting for me when I wear one so hopefully it'll ease the hand ache! Thanks Steph, you guys rock! I don't know why but I'm obsessed and desperate to make a temperature blanket lol

[@Creature_Creative]

Awh Steph I love the pizza slices, shapes and toast you've created! Made me want to crochet (and have pizza XD). You know you could even sell those as customisable toys, the toast + butter/cheese, etc especially! I used to love those plastic+velcro ones as a kid. Oh Adamo, sorry you were stressing, but Steph's capable :) I do understand missing her though, sometimes I get lonely easily when no one is home. I'm glad everyone was okay in the end and I look forward to the gift reveal :3

[@thepaintedsqueak7852]

as someone said below we don't bleach, but here is what we do with our eggs, The U.S. Department of Agriculture requires producers to wash eggs with warm water at least 20 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than the internal temperature of the eggs ― at a minimum of 90 degrees. That process cleans the shell, but also removes the exterior cuticle, “which is a natural barrier to bacteria and spoilage," i'm sorry for the Fahrenheit , do to large production of chickens and eggs here ,we are feeding them cheap grain ― a lot of corn, so from what i know our eggs are not that healthy at least store bought , which is why some people here have started raising their own chickens since you can have them as pets here depending on where you live. i personally love when you guys show a bit of that side the pond , i can't travel the world yet but maybe someday... Much Love to ya.🐣🐔😄

[@thepaintedsqueak7852]

also sometime ago i think way back when i was first watching you guys , you inspired me to get back into art and work on my skills again thank you so much. you help rekindle my spark for art!

[@FaeFlirtations]

Now I understand the egg misinformation post 😅 I live in California, we buy free range eggs and they look the same as yours 😁 different breeds of chicken do give different colored eggs sometimes but I think the diet/health of the chicken has a bigger impact because cheap eggs are not only white, but their shells are noticeably thinner.

[@DoodleDate]

The amount of egg knowledge i have gained has honestly been amazing LOL

[@Taracinablue]

Adam's just being clever and saying wrong facts to make people comment corrections and drive up engagement! It's nefarious, really. Also Steph needs to make a purple horseshoe, blue moon, rainbow, and pot of gold to complete the cereal marshmallow set! I have been crocheting for 20 years and I am incredibly impressed at how she's just making all these different things with no pattern. Crochet isn't the best technique for making socks (especially if Steph has the super great fun sensory annoyances that are very common in autism), but maybe if Stephasocks becomes a crochet channel she can make some booties/slippers to keep her feet toasty in the chill weather you guys always seem to have!
