I will chop stuff to get a few entries in
I am sure it'll be fun if I try to make a video using a cell phone camera, and make sure I am not showing my face OR speaking. But I can do it, I am good at multi-tasking and staying anonymous. And my accent is weird, OK. ![](https://videosift.com/vs5/emoticon/smile.gif)
I do need to get some corn, and I just realized the okra I have in the fridge had gone bad.. So I need to get more. Mebbe on Monday!
I was going to make succotash soon anyway, so I might as well try to tape my glorious preparations
Weekends are for grilling!

Lol, I just finished cooking and TRYING to tape my succotash. Obviously my cell phone mic sucks, since it sounds like I have a lisp! I have an accent yes, lisp no! And I have not even unzipped a video editing software to put this together, let alone figured out how to use it.

You might end up having a very weird pathetic cooking video, but damn it, I am going to get those 15 bonus entries for a walk-through cooking demo!
You have been warned!
