What I cook (and eat) on a Lazy Vacation Day | Ep.2

[@DylanOB]

So on your lazy day, you woke up at 6am, did a yoga session, workout, went on 2 walks, did laundry, planned a weight lifting routine and cooked 2 meals for 3-5 people? And filmed a video while doing it all. Thats a productive day dude... My lazy day involves waking up at 3pm, turning on my tv while in bed and watching Netflix all day, then ordering takeout, with the ideal intention of not leaving the bed unless its to go to the bathroom or answer the door to the delivery driver.

[@shivamchawla60]

amen man.

[@a.humphries8678]

Exactly!

[@whirlwind872]

Deadass... I was starting to think something was wrong with me while watching this Glad to see Ethan is the real anomaly here

[@rise4097]

Yeah this isn't a lazy day to 95% of people lmao

[@EclecticK]

I'm in this and I don't like it. :|

[@samiam32]

This trip is now a business expense, amirite? Nice.

[@fabe61]

A lazy day for Ethan includes two short walks, pull ups, push ups and yoga. A lazy day for me has less than 200 steps.

[@bogoles]

Imagine having a positive number of steps on a lazy day lol.

[@EthanChlebowski]

It helps balance out the many, many hours I spent sitting around that day :)

[@cleanwithcat745]

Not to mention filming for his yt channel which is his full time job! Haha

[@chinmaymathur7000]

Also he says this is his "extremely lazy" day

[@katl8825]

The contrast between your brother and your dad in that shot is hilarious.

[@equ1nox118]

Everytime I go on vacation I swear I wake up earlier than normal. It's something about being on vacation and making the most out of your time, I'm convinced of it.

"Lazy Vacation" *proceeds to do way more things that I do in a productive day*

[@ItzzTesta]

He just puts that on the title for clicks from the vast majority of people looking for simple meals. He doesn’t have a real job, what else is he gonna do? Sleep all day every day?

[@CHEFPKR]

Now that's a kitchen sink for dinner

[@EthanChlebowski]

Commercial grade 👌

[@HotLavaMachine]

My mum called it trash can dinner! It was my favourite meal of the week, god bless moms who cook.

[@haarismian9380]

Its really cool to know you actually know how to cook random miscellaneous things that you can piece together rather than recipe tested recipes. It would be great if you could do more videos on cooking theory, like how did you know the things you pieced together would be good?

[@caseyseangray]

Not Ethan, but I cook a lot. After a little bit of cooking, start experimenting with the recipes you know, swapping the protein, or some spices around. Eventually you get comfortable enough to just go ham.

[@Grabaxt]

@@caseyseangray So you learned all those cooking skills just to eat ham in the end? /s

[@hk2336]

Yes please! Would love to learn cooking theory and not just recipes

[@adamtaylor2142]

I have a feeling there might be some pickled onions.

[@519forestmonk9]

I was surprised when they were raw

[@wills2397]

😂😂😂 Or a dish that he learned from his time spent in Mexico City

[@trango1658]

Thanks Ethan! Those videos are perfect. We need more of casual food content like this in the landscape of food yt. It's really interesting to learn the way you utilizes leftovers/ingredients on hand because it's a whole other dimension of cooking that's more practical.

[@Nas-hf7tv]

You can just tell he has his life together. I hope to achieve this amount of productivity in my everyday life someday...

[@greghuf4461]

Seriously, his "lazy" day seems like just a normal day.

[@Iampatrix]

Wheel of Time series? I literally started reading that over 20 years ago and was devastated when Robert Jordan passed. His next few books are tough reads because he wrote them during treatment, he tried so hard to cram in the plot while his own coming to terms with his life played out on the pages, his struggle became the characters struggle, and they were very sad reads. Such an amazing story teller and dearly missed. I've read it through several times, I think I'll start again.

[@Jilinhall]

The Shadow Rising is my fav book from the Jordan books! Fantastic!.

[@jennastanley2897]

I love this video. Throwing together whatever you have to make a delicious meal is what I call cooking

[@kash9606]

You're one of the best foodtubers out there. really inspires me to cook different dishes. Keep up the good work! ^^

[@enfjftw]

Ethan buy a blindfold! You can sleep basically anywhere regardless of light, I've slept with one for several years and they are amazing

[@dSmnOSRS]

Or just work 2nd/3rd shift for a couple years to completely destroy your circadian rhythm - then you can sleep anywhere and anytime you'd like, for instance in a train station during rush hour.

[@justanerd414]

@@dSmnOSRS I like this one better

[@HH-le1vi]

@@dSmnOSRS I can concur. Did overnights for 5 years. I work 6am-230pm now and the only way I sleep is Benadryl.

[@mariangeerling2950]

The Wheel of Time series is fabulous! I loved it enough to read it all twice. Then passed the books on to my 2nd son who is an avid fan now.

[@cbinder46]

Went to Twisp, WA in 2015 to help a fraternity brother rebuild his ranch fencing after the area was ravaged by wildfires. Definitely a beautiful area!

[@JackieOdonnel]

Dang! Those leftovers look absolutely incredible. Also, I love Twisp. Great area, and that looks like a super cabin.

[@skullmaster6888]

Very inspirational for left over day. Thank you! I’ll ask about your knives on a later video.

[@jerolvilladolid]

What a delicious, tasty treat this is. Oh and nice pasta too

0:28 the most honest shot of someone waking up, most people just have that scene scripted

[@ashe1317]

Ethan: and it was too bright to sleep in this white room, so i woke up Me: *laughs in Shift Work* but srsly, a relaxing little vid, and in such a beautiful location! it reminded me a bit of your Mexico City vlogs (the vibe, not the scenery, lol). i hope you get to go on vacation more often so we can get more sneak peaks! peace!

Love these day in the life of videos bro and also the drone shots

[@EchoSigma6]

You know you made it as a cook when you can make a good meal with what you have on hand be it leftovers. Nothing snobby or accurate, just a delicious meal with family and friends.

[@themagicknightress7132]

Bc of you I only cook single servings of pasta in my frying pan to get the water nice and starchy. I don’t know if it’s the noodles I buy, but it smells buttery and delicious when cooking

[@svenceslav]

What's a productive day for this man?!

[@Giliver]

You say lazy but this would be a productive day for me. Lol

[@TradDad]

When you see a whole video by Ethan and there is no pickled red onions.... 😢

[@liamtaylor9806]

Pickling onion liquid though. Its good enough for me

[@RighteousMane]

5:40 okay are we not going to talk about how effortless that was to move the eggs around? Seasoning goals right there

[@LatteEsportsLeague]

I know I’m a fan of this channel as I recognize u used your almost no water formula for making the pasta. Best channel. Also realize that we have different ideas of what “lazy” is

What a beast. While there is no singular definition of “perfection” you are certainly a type of perfect. Holymoly! If you walked through a gay bar you’d have 20 numbers before getting to the other side. Keep on slayin’ it! You’re an inspiration. A great instructor and more relatable than anyone else I subscribe to. Thanks man!

[@gaaykamaans8761]

When you make a vinaigrette, try mixing all your spices, sugar, acids (syrups, lemon, mustard, vinegar, pepper, etc.)… basically everything except the olive oil, which you then add last. Considering your architecturally-trained strength, it may not matter for you. Happy whiskin’

[@cinemaocd1752]

Interesting to see how late in the day, compared to when you wake up, that you actually start eating. I was trained to be a breakfast eater my whole life, but lately I've found if I can stretch out the morning a bit, it makes it a lot easier to eat less the whole day through.

Rainier, the Olympic Peninsula, the Pike Place Market, a ferry ride, a nice sail on a yacht in Puget Sound, Crystal Mountain in the Summer, DT Seattle's amazing restaurants, the North Cascades Loop Lake Chelan and the beautiful swimming hole at the bottom of the Dam, Lady of the Lake boat ride, The Potholes, our own Stonehenge, Mission Ridge, Lincoln Rock... Was coming back from Chelan when it caught fire, circa 1985. Moved here to the Western side of the big speed bump (Cascades) when I was 6 weeks old. Note my name, lol.
