Salted Umami (Day 4416 - 12/27/21)

Previous Vlog (Day 4415) | Next Vlog (Day 4417)

For lunch today, Stephen and Mallory are using up some leftover beef from the other day, and are having tacos. Stephen thought that they used the beef for spaghetti and mentions that a couple viewers pointed out that when they had "spaghetti". Recently, Stephen uses the term "spaghetti" for "noodles in meat sauce". Stephen and Mal plan to get some work done after they finish eating.

Later, Stephen and Mal head over to Stephen's parent's house and have some leftovers from Christmas. Stephen and Mal both say that having 3 large dinners in-a-row might be their limit.

Back at home, Stephen wants to try out some more popcorn that Mal had gotten him for Christmas. Yesterday, Stephen and Mal had regular popcorn, but today Stephen wants to have Salted Umami popcorn. In the past, Stephen has only had butter, cheddar, and caramel popcorn so he's excited to try a new flavor today.

After heating it up for 2 minutes and 35 seconds, Stephen and Mal note that the popcorn smells different. After eating a piece, Stephen says that the flavor doesn't hit you until the end. Both Stephen and Mal are unsure how they feel about this flavor of the popcorn. After asking Kepler what he thinks of the popcorn, Stephen and Mal finished the bowl and say that the popcorn is mildly savory. While it isn't the same as having unsalted popcorn, there is a faint flavor to it. Stephen says that he didn't expect the flavor and it isn't what he wants out of popcorn. Mal says that she noticed the flavor less as she continued eating. Both Stephen and Mal are excited for the other flavors they'll have in the future.
