LIVING WITH DEMENTIA EP. 20 | COOKING WITH DEMENTIA

[@Barbara-fy8cs]

Just love his personality when he is comfortable inside himself. Such humor.

[@christined2495]

I am such a FAN of Jason, he is so naturally funny and so quick witted He is a master of the kitchen….. this was so enjoyable to watch Thank you to Jason for doing this video for us 😀

[@Pollaris781]

Jason did just Great today. Pray he keeps on going and never gives up. God Bless Jason and Leslie.

[@karynlh]

Jason, you did a great job guy. As a fellow dementia man myself, doing everything we can to try and “slow the fading away” is all good. I too have this year transitioned to have “fun in everything” as much as possible. I loved your Korean dish….it looks so yummy. You encouraged me Jason, after watching you, I face a very overwhelming/overstim afternoon. But looking back to my iPad, I remembered what I watched you do…and then this evening, after “I healed up with a time of “gentle””, I became busy checking off some boxes on our Reminders Lists. Karyn and I found out that we can share the iPhone Reminder List, and it is becoming very handy and extending “Grandpa’s Memory Board”, on the fridge (a whiteboard). I am having a real challenge, like you Jason, with forgetting what I am thinking before I can get to a piece of paper and write it down. With the Reminder List, I can just grab my iPhone and speak a thought into it - a thought on anything. I love your comment about “38 seconds”….that all I can remember from that. Anyways my dear friend, from one Fader to another Fader….keep on trying. Oh, I found a 8”x11” little bright red awareness poster from my last job in 2014. It has a great saying on it….and I posted in the hallway on the way to the back door, where we all stand and talk before leaving, “PEOPLE WHO SAY IT CANNOT BE DONE, SHOULD NOT INTERRUPT THOSE WHO ARE DOING IT”. God Bless dear Brother….this episode was real hard…I know all too well….but man, Jason….you DID IT! Like the saying says, “You are doing it!” - Jim

Thank you for sharing everything here. I just wrote that saying on my calendar/grocery list. As I watched this video of Jason was a healing moment and reading your story just gave me hope that it's okay that I went to put the coffee cup in the fridge just keep laughing. I don't know if Jason and his wife will see this as well, but Jason, you are definitely happy cooking and showing others how to cook. God bless all three of you for the blessings I have received from you.

[@rhondadavis1483]

God bless you and you seem like you are def a fighter as well. Love the video Jason and Lesley! I too hope there will be more!! Please!

[@janicecoil7320]

[@viviandibrell849]

Seeing this makes me realize what Jason is like and makes me understand a little more what eventually is going to be lost. You guys are so amazing and brave!

Wonderful job Jason. Wish I could taste that creation-sounded yummy!

[@laurieschaeffer1424]

I think you’ve found a new KZbin channel; Cooking with Jason and Leslie! Loved it😁

[@stevenwilson1762]

Good job Jason. That looked really good. Thank you for sharing...Mrs.Steve

[@sandykalmeyer9523]

So fun! Looks yummy Jason.

[@Its_me--Boo_Radley]

My mouth is watering. Thanks for the fabulous demonstration. Your recipe looks scrumptious!

[@annrogers2489]

Love it Jason, you did awesome, love watching and listening to your adventures

[@cecwintonyk8228]

That was the best. When he is up to it, I hope Jason will treat us to more cooking videos. I can't wait to make bulgogi now that I have seen how easy it is to put together.

[@lynnpasteris4362]

That really looks good! Thank you Jason. So glad to see you are having a good day.

[@susantomkins8798]

Wow! I can nearly smell this cooking through you tube! Yummy, gonna try this, thanks xx

[@lindacrews9340]

You have to have bloopers, who doesn’t ? Jason did very well explaining the process and ingredients ❤❤ Love to you both 😊

[@BarbyDailey-Rurallife40]

Wow that looks delicious! Thanks Jason and Leslie !

[@lesliemorris5695]

Thank you so much for sharing! With this glimpse of his personality we can tell what a really awesome person Jason is!!’❤

[@patriciabowen1]

It’s been a rough day and your cooking demo brought a smile to my face! Thanks, Jason.

[@bev3279]

Wow that looks yummy! I can’t wait to give it a try. Loved the video! Bless you both❤

[@susanoppat3138]

Yay! Finally got to see Jason cook! Marvelous!

[@jdaasa2011]

He made a complex recipe seem so easy! Thank you for sharing. Hi sense of humor and his knowledge about the things like the smoke turning a different color when the liquid has evaporated are amazing. It makes me think he has forgotten more than I have ever known. Thank you for sharing this part of Jason, accentuating the positive and sharing what looks like an amazing meal!

[@jonibrooks7731]

Thank you Jason! I learned something! Wash wash wash that rice! 👍👍

[@lucybloom7600]

Fun video Leslie. Thanks Jason for cooking and my goodness that dish looks so good i was salavating. Love the 'culinary adventure' and you having a great time cooking. Have a great week and enjoy your dinner. Love you both 👫😊🌄💜

[@lineprestkvrn9014]

Oh, my! That looked scrumptious!

[@CarolynStClair-is6sq]

I've never had Korean food before. But the beef/ rice dish Jason prepared looked delicious!

[@kymfrancis4612]

My 87 year old dad has just been diagnosed with dementia, although we thought that he had memory loss, it has been very confronting; my dad is devastated. The really lovely thing about my dad is that his wicked sense of humour is still there.

[@debbiegoble786]

Looks delicious!!

[@barbaracoats6178]

3:58 July 10. So glad you are back on the channel. This is wonderful.

[@sandykoenig1666]

Thank you Jason for the cooking video and for the bloopers at the end for us to see really what you went through . Love you guys, and wish I could have been there to have a bowl of bulgogi.

[@alj770]

I would really LOVE to see this as a regular feature. And I have to also say that Jason's self-deprecation about the "38 seconds" duration of his short-term memory makes me feel a whole lot better about my own deficit. Thanks, Jason!!!

[@marywallace6383]

Jason is in his element while cooking. The dish looks scrumptious .

[@laurasimpson7650]

Jason, that dish looks DELISH, brother. Well done!

[@kimsanders8832]

I’m really enjoying this video! I’ve missed seeing you both! ❤❤

[@janicedalesandro1190]

Yum! You still got it going on Jason. Love your positivity and humor. Blessings always.

[@cherylporter1056]

WHAT A GUY! And his lovely wife!

[@MaryEnea-nu4qk]

Love you Jason!💙

[@ronijava]

Dear Leslie-I want to thank you and Jason for episode 19 on Loneliness. That was a beautiful chapter in this journey. Totally real, emotionally powerful, and an authentic window into what dementia looks, sounds and feels like. Thank you very, very much. I am one of those you acknowledged on the other end of the spectrum-but with the same results. My husband follows me all of our waking hours. He talks to me nonstop and issues questions upon questions interspersed with demands. If I give a response that he doesn’t like, he berates me with verbal abuse, false accusations and degrading insults. He swears at me mercilessly. And all hell breaks loose if anyone phones me. My husband paces around me calling me names, shouting at me to get off the phone or things “will get physical.” He calls names about the callers in the background, upsetting me and them. Even our doctor’s office knows to text me and ask if it safe to call. And when I leave the room or go into my bedroom to get a few moments’ respite-my husband bursts into tears and sobs. So I come back out into the living room ot kitchen etc. to be sure he is OK and he cries out, “Oh there you are!! I thought you were lost! Please don’t leave me.” I have not seen any of my friends in nearly 4 years. I only see a few family members or my own daughter (only child) a few rare times a year because this is her stepdad and he scares her. I have changed my whole life to give my husband a better quality of life by keeping him at home, out of memory care. He gave me many happy times and adventures. But I keep rescheduling my own medical appointments because I have no one to stay with my spouse. I know this is not sustainable. Your videos are a lifeline because unless someone is living this-they have no idea in this world what this journey is like. Thank you and bless you and your family. We love you. ❤❤❤

[@mariatrapp6196]

Yum looks delicious. I'm a terribly boring cook so I definitely got to try this. You both are so delightful to watch. Thank you so much Jason for your service! I have such gratitude for our servicemen. I am humbled and blessed by your sacrifice. ❤

[@moorecookiesplease]

I’m thankful to have never had to take a tour to Korea (I spent 25+ years in Air Force). My short tour was in Turkey which was pretty lovely. I do love me some bulgogi though so I am definitely adding this to our dinner rotation. It looks delicious!!

[@diane9356]

Fantastic recipe Jason you are so talented

[@VancouverIslandHippieChick]

Oh my gosh, Leslie, my hubby Paul + I are wondering if you + Jason want to come and cook here? My word! That looks soooo good ❤

[@queenmarynovelwriter5397]

It's cool that Jason felt like cooking.

[@michele9159]

This was the best!!!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉

[@debbieblair3329]

Looks delish!

[@marylynnrybak6507]

Great job, Jason 🎉

[@faypollard6455]

I hope he had a great time doing that wonderful cooking. He looks like he had fun. Keep it up jason.

[@toryberch]

Jason's back in the saddle cutting ✂️ up in the kitchen 😁😋

[@albussnape2]

Jason, this was a terrific epicurious adventure!! Thank you!! ❤ I think I’ll try it! Might I suggest doing more of these when you feel up to it? I think your love of cooking and sharing stories you remember is good for us, and probably for you, too! 👍😊 Thank you, Leslie, for assistance and editing. 🙏❤️

[@debbielafoy1052]

Wow! You are a true Chef with all the equipment! It looks so good. I’m impressed😊

[@msbeaverhausen7226]

That looks delicious and I enjoyed the back story that went with the recipe.I would love to see more cooking segments with Jason!!

[@samanthatodd7100]

Yummy!!!

[@DiscernmentNow]

😅😅😅 He tickles me. I really like the bloopers too, because then I know nobody is perfect. He's funny. 😘❤️🙏 Good job Jason! I might try it. 😊

[@DirlingSwervish]

This looks so good!

[@lifelvr9509]

This is beyond precious for family history and for your grandchildren. One of the (few) amazing gifts technology has given us. Sending all love and good wishes to you and your family with immense gratitude for you sharing your journey with all of us.

[@marypalmer2088]

Great job Jason! This is your element, no questions for you to answer(we know you don't like too). This is wonderful, thank you.

[@dianewristen]

THIS SOUNDS SO GOOD.. THANK YOU

[@nicgeorgiapeach]

After living in Korea, twice with my father, who was in the Air Force, and then my husband who was in the Air Force, I truly appreciate Bulgogi, but will never appreciate kimchee! Great job Jason!

[@pennasylvania]

👍 Good job, Jason. PRAYERS 🙏 and BLESSINGS ✝️

[@MerryAnne2598]

So happy to see a new video! A brief glimpse of the Jason you dearly love to carry you through another day. Thank you. ❤️🙏❤️

[@vickimyers5443]

I just love you both so much! Please keep posting your everyday life. 💙🩷

[@maureenvandine7882]

I also lived in S Korea in 78-79 as a civilian wife of a soldier stationed near the DMZ. Korean food is amazing. Thanks for doing this video. It was very enlightening!

[@marleiseturner4689]

I can’t wait to make this dish! Thank you so much Jason, you are a great chef!

[@suenorton6032]

Great video, saw ep. 19 comments were turned off, i can understand, however wanted to say my daughter in law now deceased had times when we were checking on her that she got upset. Her breast cancer had spread to her brain. And we slowly watched her become someone else. My son died from cancer 11/1/22 and his 21 year partner whom I refer to as daughter in law died 8/31/23. So now coping with helping my grandson who is just 20 yrs. old cope with it all. I fully as a nurse, mom, motherinlaw and grandmother understand a great deal of what you are dealing with. Prayers to you and Jason and your entire family. Sending hugs!

[@marycaldwell4632]

You go Jason, hang tough. Looks wonderful, gonna try this tonight. You belong on Rachel Raye!

[@karenwalker3233]

❤❤❤❤

[@rebekahkui]

He’s so funny. You two are made for each other. On another video it was so bittersweet when you said “you absolutely signed up for this” with referencing your wedding vows ❤️❤️

[@megsojourner8150]

what an apron!! :D

[@SCsweettea]

Jason, that looked yummy. I love the addition of pear. I bet that magic ingredient took it to another level. Hugs, judy

[@janefreda7034]

Jason did an amazing job. The food looked so good! Cooking is hard enough as is, but doing so with a working memory deficit is truly incredibly.

[@joanb8489]

Jason, do more of these videos. You are so handy in the kitchen.

[@mlm7598]

Looks so good and I knowJason is a great cook. I liked that he showed rinsing the rice and washing the starch out of it. Loved this and it looks so so good! Jason's personality when he gets going and into his comfort zone is awesome........very talented in so many things he does. Blessings for a great week!

[@sherrymyersGtown]

My mouth is watering

[@lillyrose3545]

Maggi- For anyone who wants to know (I had to look it up because I want mine to taste like Jason’s!) here it is so you don’t have to look it up! Maggi is an Australian brand of asian sauces. *Maggi is the most well known maker of instant noodles in Australia. I believe what Jason used was their “seasoning sauce”. I can’t tell if his is the spicy version or original, but Jason strikes me as a guy who would use the spicy! * Maybe we could get some clarification? :) The internet says Maggi that is made by a process similar to soy sauce, except with fermented wheat protein, so it has a deep, rich, and salty savoriness that cannot come from regular old salt and pepper. The best way to describe its actual flavor is “roasty.” It tastes like cooked … something.”

[@sharondinwiddie308]

Dang, that looks delicious!!! I think I could almost smell it through my phone!!!!!
