good morning guys and welcome to another
tasty bug mission number one of today is
to find me some sunglasses because look
how much I'm squinting in the Sun I
can't see a thing of yours gone well I
was gonna explain so I've got quite a
big head and every pair of sunglasses I
have like they look great because like I
picked my sunglasses but they're always
too small for my head and they give me a
headache off ten minutes oh I don't wear
them and when I'm driving they give me a
headache so I can't wear them so I need
to find some like big headed sunglasses
basically so I can wear them and
actually become to win them you're my
figures thank you and I've got a pair of
mine so yeah that's mission number one
of today
we've just had some breakfast at home
Lucy made it it's delicious we didn't
film it actually in today's video we
won't have a chat about the lens that we
use the small Panasonic 1.7 25 mil lens
that we used to feel more like kind of
b-roll and intros and stuff like that if
you've clicked on this video because of
that we will be doing it very shortly so
don't worry it's not this lens this is
our whiting for walking shots but yeah
I'm out of breath because since we
filmed the last video on the channel the
boo hoo haul we pretty much use that
lens for the whole video which was that
and we've had a ton of you guys message
us and ask us what gear were using what
lens we using to get that kind of blurry
background get those really sharp images
so we're going to answer some of those
questions today but we can't use that
way walking along because it'd be like
this hello we're off now to try out a
new place in Worthing in our town just
opened yeah a new eatery they've cooled
them doesn't Easter a so it might be
polished we're gonna try we're gonna go
for a coffee go for a drink get some
work done we'll see you in there maybe
we'll see you in a sandwich shop alright
see ya
haha
basically Lucy saw these Ray Bans the
other day they were like 200 pounds so
she morning she like it's one issue
paying for it
right as in of 60 - Oh glass in my
problem I thought I'd sit on them I
break yeah I was 200 quid so I need to I
would never pay that much for summarize
the other thing I always knew sunglasses
these are from TK Maxx I actually get a
lot of demos about these as well they're
women's sunglasses yeah they are they're
women's they've got a love heart on the
side and I like carved it off but I like
him
you guys seem to like them so jobs good
I think we've made a decision
I like him no well like nice and loose
on my side a lot of that effect I think
at the side feel like you yeah
[Music]
we actually only use two lenses when we
make our videos we use the Panasonic d85
to film all of our vlogs we mainly use
the wide-angle lens that we've got on
right now which is the
which is the panasonic lumix 7 to 14
millimeter lens now the gh 5 if you know
about cameras is a Micro Four Thirds
system so with the lens's it kind of
it's a smaller crop sensor so the lens's
you get are half the millimeter of a
normal lens so this 25 mil lens that
we're talking about today is actually a
50 mil lens on most other cameras that
make sense
yes so we used to have a 70 D we filmed
with so Canon lenses 50 mil lens oh my
god there's a massive what so we only
really use two lenses or we obviously
want to increase that and get more
there's a ton of lenses we've got our
eyes on but really to make these blogs
we use the wide-angle and we use this
little bad boy which is a tiny tiny lens
to be honest super small these lenses
are it's it's one of the more plastic
ones but it's it was quite to you how
much was this loose like 150 maybe 200
pounds for this which is beautiful lens
if you're if you know anything about
cameras and lenses we know that you can
spend that wherever grads on a decent
lens the 7 to 14 wide angle which I'm
using to film this bit on was about 7 to
800 pounds which is actually quite
ironic because the actual like the
quality probably better with this lens
here and it's actually one and
it times the actual shots we get there
much more cinematic and stuff than that
one this one's more of like a practical
end this one's more creative we use it
below for things like cooking shots with
music quite a lot don't weird like with
it our national epidemic that with all
the close-ups and stuff with it and
we've also used it when we just like
filming each other talking and so like
when we were in Newcastle we use it for
a bit on the rock then and although we
can use it like I said a minute ago like
close-up because it's so like zoomed in
when we set up a bit and actually film
each other like because of the blurry
background and it looks so much better
like the quality of it but it's like not
practical for that really it's a much
more practical if you like filming
closer
time to illustrate that we'll leave the
camera on the table exactly where it is
right now and we'll flip to the other
lens we won't consume it in this is a
prime lens so there's no zoom on this
lens so we'll leave the camera exactly
where is and we'll swap the lenses now
and you'll sue only beam there you go
this is why we can't do it smoked wine
and this is why we can't use it for like
things like this when the camera is so
close to us like I don't think anyone
and watch me destroy an entire video
with you
however we do love this learn to
recommend to anyone with ch5 if you want
to get that with cinematic yep and it
doesn't possible to do that it's easy
stuff in your bag for each of your
blends that we do put you enjoyed this
little review but now we're going to get
back to our jury thank you very much
see you later thank you a couple of
hours work done there we are currently
in the middle of planning something

percent I would love to be able to cut
hair be so cool he actually did like a
over zero he called it like baby smooth
right on the sides right here and along
the bottom there so there's actually
like no hair on part of it I needed that
because I go ahead of it before we go
away tomorrow super excited for that we
need to go and make some dinner now
because we're so hungry this is so
called we're working with a company on
tonight's dinner amazing is that they
saw that we like post a load of food
stuff on our instagrams and talk about
food
we always show you guys what dinner
Lucy's making and stuff so tonight can I
help keeping service I'm sorry what's
one a help so tonight we'll talk about
more in a minute but we're working with
a very cool company who are providing
tonight it's gonna get back at the flat
now guys and as we mentioned we're gonna
cook dinner when I say we I'm gonna try
and help Lucy ones because if you're a
regular viewer of the juicy table then
you will know that Lucy cooks the
majority of our meals that is just a
fact it's not that I can't cook it's
that Lucy is just incredibly good at
cooking and enjoys it she enjoys
choosing meals looking at recipes choose
ingredients put in a meal together I do
all the washing up and although all that
kind of stuff around and I do help now
and then I probably wouldn't cook than
wash up yeah and I well causes a brothel
wash up but it's not a bad deal let's
put it that way so as we mentioned in
the car we're working with a company
called handy bytes on tonight's dinner
and this video that's about hate handy
h8a NDI yes it's arrived in the post the
other day from them and they've been
kind enough to sponsor this part of the
video today and we're going to cook up
some of their - they're basically a
company who provide spices effectively
so they sent us this kit which is like a
full kit of spices
that's a glass jar yep but they
eventually sent us all the stuff we need
to make like several meals got biryani
basically for me when I'm cooking I find
like I've got through spices in the
drawer but I can't really bother to like
make a curry up I just kind of guess
throw random things in and hope for the
best
this is actually like a spice mix
pre-made for the curry you're doing so
it's not like a jar you still make the
sauce yourself which is great cuz Jon
never tastes the same as like how it
should be but this is like halfway there
so it's super helpful isn't it because
like I pop it on with a bloody pestle
and mortar and so that and it gives you
like a rest
on the back so I'm gonna pick one in a
second the first I'll go through what
we've got so you've got a couple of
weeks biryani there chicken tikka we've
got I've never heard of this one jeera
that's medium it tells you at the spicy
level as well Calma which is a firm
favourite and it's quite um fine
spice isn't it that's right so it's
already like been grounded up it saves
like like I said that we've bought mixes
before for spices and it's like loads of
massive ingredients like you get a big
old like bay leaf sticking out of it
this is already ground up we got four
about picking out the horrible big what
they could bay leaves
all cordons no cardamom Russ and I've
never had like you're probably watching
the thinking at least you don't do it
I've never had a vindaloo and that's the
one I want to do today because I've
never had it and it's the hottest one on
the list it's got three chilies this is
hot underneath but George is all boned
up from it a fever so I think you need
something spicy to get yourself flowing
a bit more and I just really fancy
trying it so I feel like yeah we gonna
go for and it's called volcanic vindaloo
so oh my god this also little cayenne
pepper chutney oh that's quite sweet
fancy
[Music]
so in there in the 15 Browns we bought
room Kashmiri chilies garlic ground
cumin ginger red chili powder salt
turmeric powder
like honestly I cook we wanted to wait
till ingredients to run amok
so [ __ ] you cook up some chicken and
some onions of oil adding this then add
some water some vinegar add some smoked
eggs and some chicken stock and that
[ __ ] Mia it's so easy and then put some
ice up instead there's no like tomatoes
coconut milk in some shop make my life
easier
what have you done so far I'm like
wellif it I filmed it I filmed a film
with you cooking
[Music]
all done with cooking now we're gonna
enjoy this let me try it a bit scared
I've never had something spicy that's
well nice is it let me try some that's
