Transcript excerpt

It is 5AM. Oh my god. The bubbles. Let me fold you girl. Flip you. She's gonna take a nap. It's been a few hours. This is what Eloise looks like. I've been marinating some tomatoes and a lot of stuff. You wanna know what? Hot honey, olive oil, balsamic glaze, and Italian seasoning mix that I also put in the dough. So let's throw this on her plop. It's tomato season clearly. It is, right? No, I'm gonna have to use my hands anyway, so don't worse, they're clean. Hi, Eloise. Do you like that? Oh, my daughter loves tomatoes. This is just absolutely beautiful. I can't put this in Eloise clearly, but good morning. Shot of olive oil in the morning. I love dimpling.
