How To: Cook and Eat Edamame
August 18th, 2008We shot this about six years ago. It’s taken that long to compile the 300 hours of footage and do the script doctoring that a production of this magnitude requires.
You’ll note a few things:
- my hair is post nap
- my hair and Coco’s hair: matching
- Heather’s pronunciation of “Jon” is something I hear about 30 times an hour; I’ve developed selective hearing
- Leta had a very minor meltdown involving the snap out portion of her princess magnets; not the magnets themselves, the snap out holder thingy which I mended with tape, which no amount of reshooting or doctoring could fix
- mind-blowing special effects
There is audio, so you might want to adjust your speakers and or headphones.
Enjoy:

UPDATE: The opening track is “Ascension To Virginity” by Dave Grusin. The closing title track is “What R We Stealing” by David Holmes. Both are on the Ocean’s Twelve OST.

There are so many things about this video that are tremendous Jon:
You: “It’s a pot-pan” LOL. Actually I think it’s a Wok - pan - but no biggie!
Heather “More water. A little more.” You at emptying pot: “WAY too much water”
Heather “just need a little bit more” “a little more” ..like are you EVER doing the right thing Jon!! (secretly I’m SO glad I’m not the only women to nit-pick my poor husband)
Your LOVE for Coco! (you can’t pretend NOW!)
Heather’s incredible infectious laugh .. love it!
Both of your amazing dogs and their amazing contortions.
Leta .. and the fact that she talks with her fingers, just like you talk with
your hands! (and your excellent parenting in having her thank you correctly, God I spend my days doing that with my seven year old too!!)
lovely lovely piece of your life - thanks for sharing! Now, if only I could buy Edamame here in Montreal!!
(btw .. Edamame does not sound like it s/b pronounce eda-momeh .. but .. I digress…)
DUDE, did you just lick the wound of your dog? Please explain. My co-workers and I are grossed out.
I’m speechless. I am in love with both of you. I know you’re not Mormon anymore, but if you ever need another wife, I’m your woman.
Oh my, this is going to sound terribly lame, but I played your video when I made edamame this weekend. I had no clue what to do with the bag of frozen edamame dooce previously inspired me to buy. Tasted great.
