Création de la leçon...
1
Hello, good morning.
2
This is the day I look forward to Thanksgiving.
3
Thanksgiving is my favorite time of year because it's the only time
4
when I can really see my family because everyone's so busy and I get to cook for them.
5
All right, I'm going to bring you along with me, but before that, I'm actually going to show you how I...
6
threw myself together to look decent for this vlog.
7
I'm going to start off with my routine using a peeling gel.
8
And a peeling gel gently exfoliates all the dead skin layer, so once I wipe this off, my skin feels super smooth and polished.
9
And it's ready for the next step, which mainly consists of deep hydration and treatment.
10
And on days where I don't want to use foundation or even a skin tint, I'll just use this eye cream that's also a lavender tone -up.
11
My secret weapon is this powder.
12
Portrait Mode by M.
13
I made this powder for people like myself who have textured skin
14
and I want it to look as if I have a real -life beauty filter on.
15
Then I'll fill in my brows very lightly Tight lining my eyes keeping it really light.
16
This is Phantom Blur.
17
It's kind of like portrait mode, but for the lips, except it's a lip stain.
18
So now that I'm ready, I'm gonna go ahead and head over to the kitchen
19
and begin the first course.
20
It's become family tradition where my sister and I, we both cook Thanksgiving.
21
She cooks it over at her place, I cook it here.
22
She's in charge of the turkey, I'm in charge of the sides.
23
Okay, so I'm gonna go ahead and check the fridge.
24
I'm gonna start first with the chicken.
25
Okay, now we're gonna begin. with the chicken.
26
I'm gonna be making this chicken Not as the main course, but this is actually going to go into the stuffing, but I'm going to be using the drippings from this chicken.
27
and it's going to go into the gravy.
28
And that's the secret sauce.
29
It's all about the drippings.
30
Okay, this feels hot enough.
31
First, spin down.
32
Smells so good already.
33
So I need cooking wine to be able to deglaze The drippings.
34
But I don't have it.
35
I have...
36
I don't even know what this is.
37
It's product of France.
38
Hopefully it works.
39
Whoa.
40
OK.
41
Whoa.
42
Let's hear the beauty of this.
43
It's interesting 'cause I think the champagne has fruit notes in it.
44
Thanksgiving is really mostly about sides.
45
Like I know everyone obsesses over the turkey, but I feel like the MVP of Thanksgiving dinner are the sides.
46
And this is why I am focusing on the sides.
47
I've been cooking for a few hours.
48
Not bad.
49
I'm not as oily.
50
My portrait mode is so good, y 'all.
51
It is a real -life beauty filter.
52
and a compact.
53
My lip stain is still good.
54
Nice.
55
Thank you.
56
I don't know why I'm obsessed with this drink.
57
I don't even know what it's called, it's Chinese.
58
Ever since I've been in China, I can't stop drinking this.
59
If you wanna make your mushrooms more savory, add soy sauce and let it marinate.
60
into the mushrooms.
61
And let that soak in.
62
Alright, now go ahead and add the mushrooms.
63
And I'm gonna let that simmer in and melt and it's just gonna become so gorgeous.
64
While that's cooking, let's take a look at our gizzard.
65
How has this guy been?
66
So I'm gonna throw in a little bit of fish sauce, to the gizzard to give it some flavor.
67
Get some umami flavor.
68
Pepper it.
69
Lots of pepper.
70
Because this is going to go into the stuffing.
71
So, I am cooking two things at once right now.
72
Got these amazing long chopsticks.
73
- It's probably one of the best green bean casseroles I've ever made.
74
Do you see how brown this is?
75
This is the beauty of the soy sauce.
76
I think it tastes so much better than plain, normal, traditional, green bean casserole.
77
Go ahead and put in the rest of the green beans.
78
Look who just arrived!
79
It's me!
80
Alright, we're gonna just go continue cooking.
81
This is kind of like the last three hours.
82
Alright, this is the Christine technique.
83
What is it again?
84
You put, you massage like butter under the skin and you just massage the turkey.
85
Wow.
86
So you massaged? all I'm getting there.
87
I have two more two more trays.
88
But yeah, you just wanna get it until it feels more like tender, you know?
89

90

92

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
