1
Hello ladies and gentlemen, I am back.
2
I've seen a lot of comments about a kitchen tour.
3
So that's what we're gonna do today.
4
I just walked in the house, so I'm gonna get myself settled here.
5
I have my coffee.
6
And I'm gonna show you around my kitchen.
7
Over here, we have the beautiful stove and oven where I do my cooking.
8
Up here I have all my spices and seasonings that are labeled.
9
That looks neat and then this starts to get a little bit chaotic.
10
These are all my other spices and I have vinegar and truffle oil.
11
My hex clad pan.
12
I got some pots, some hex clad bowls which I absolutely love.
13
More spices, some olive oil up here.
14
That's my little butter dish right here which I love.
15
It's cute and orange.
16
And then I have both air fryers.
17
And the reason that I need two is
18
because sometimes I'm trying to cook multiple things that don't fit in one air fryer.
19
So I have both.
20
My crock pot, which we love a crock pot.
21
My little dish where I put my keys when I get back home.
22
And I like to have this in the kitchen because I just am always reapplying it.
23
I like the story behind these because they were in another part of the house.
24
They were plain.
25
They didn't have writing on them and then my husband decided to put his own spin on them, which I thought was actually really, really fun.
26
And they have lived there ever since.
27
This is the window that I love having in the kitchen
28
because we have a little herb garden back there that's really, really cute.
29
Moving right along from the sink, we're getting down into the little coffee station.
30
I have the little Nespresso machine.
31
This is for tea.
32
This is a really delicious matcha machine.
33
We have all the things we could possibly need here.
34
A little Chamberlain coffee, which we love.
35
Up here is where I keep my coffee mugs and cups and some dishes up there.
36
That's the lovely garbage.
37
This is my center island.
38
You know I love my hex clad board.
39
Can't live without the hex clad board.
40
And I do also love my little magnetized knife holder.
41
I really, really like this marble that we have throughout the kitchen.
42
I was top to bottom heavily involved in the design of the house in general, but even more so with the kitchen because the kitchen is a space that, you know, you spend a lot,
43
a lot of time in.
44
This is a really giant sink that I use to prep food and clean food and clean veggies.
45
That looks like a sad, scary sponge over there.
46
We have a little bit more appliances over here, you know.
47
The fridge which is here.
48
Yay fridge.
49
I just gave a little sneak peek because I didn't know if it was messy or organized.
50
This is a freezer.
51
A lot of delicious things in there, like this Cosmic Bliss, which I'm obsessed with Cosmic Bliss.
52
And I may or may not be working on a little fun something.
53
Wink, wink.
54
That's my hex-clad drawer.
55
I honestly, I like for everything to have its place, but like as you can see,
56
there's a lot sitting out which doesn't bother me because I almost like a slight bit of chaos to the kitchen.
57
And now that I say that, I'm debating whether or not I should have hid all this stuff.
58
But I'll take something out and then I'll put it in a new place and forget to put it back.
59
I entertain a lot in the kitchen, especially because it opens up into our living space.
60
So even on Super Bowl Sunday, we had a big Super Bowl party.
61
I like connecting over food, so I do feel like we spend a lot of time in the kitchen.
62
So there you have it.
63
This is my kitchen tour.
64
you

シャドーイングとは?英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング(Shadowing)は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的:ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影(shadow)」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
