Some YouTubers meals...

As you may know already, I'm quite the fan of the SIDEMEN which are a group of YouTubers from Britain. They wrote a book about their past, games, routines, and even recipes. 

I thought I would share Simon (Miniminter) who happens to be my favorite YouTuber and Josh (Zerkaa)'s recipes.They cook for one another which I find sweet!

Simon's Meal for Simon and Josh

"As Josh and me are usually up and about at the same time we sometimes take turns to cook for each other. Sweet, I know, but it's not like we have a candlelit dinner or anything like that. Honest! Anyway, if you fancy a Josh and Simon special here you go:"


Ingredients:
Beef and red wine ravioli
Cheese and tomato tortellini
Tomato mascarpone sauce
Parmesan cheese
Cathedral City pre-grated cheddar cheese
Salt 
Italian herbs

Method:
1. Put the ravioli and tortellini into boiling water.
2. Add salt and Italian herbs.
3. Cook tomato mascarpone sauce.
4.Remove the water when the pasta is cooked and add the tomato mascarpone sauce.
5. Chuck a load of Parmesan cheese and pre-grated cheddar on top/
6. Keep adding cheese until there is a mini mountain.
7. Eat!

Josh's Meal for Josh and Simon

"Come to think of it, my meal for Simon is actually pretty similar to his meal for me. Maybe that's why we only like cooking for each other?"

Ingredients:
500g minced beef
Dolmio Bolognese sauce
Farfalle pasta 
Cheddar cheese
Parmesan Cheese

Method:
1. Cook the mince in a pan until it's brown.
2. Turn down the hob.
3. Add Dolmio sauce.
4. Boil water in a saucepan and add pasta.
5. Grate the cheese.
6. When the pasta is cooked remove the water from the saucepan with a colander.
7. Put the pasta and mince onto a plate.
8. Liberally sprinkle the Parmesan grated cheddar. 
9. Serve to a very happy Simon.

Both recipes are amazing, especially if you enjoy pasta as much as I do! They are both delicious, both slightly different which makes both recipes quite special! 

You should definitely try them if you are interested in having two dinners with two pasta recipes!

Sidemen: British YouTubers...

Since October 18th, 2016, I have been reading the Sidemen Book! Yes, I got it as soon it was out! There's always something good happening on the 18th. This time, the book came in the mail! The excitement that consumed me entirely, the luck I felt was indescribable! I know that I ain't the only one that got it, but I still feel special! Don't crush my dream of being one special person! Pretty please with a cherry on top?!

If you don't know the Sidemen, well it's a group of YouTubers back in Great Britain! They are most likely to do FIFA videos, but I just adore watching them, they are rather hilarious. Each one of them is different: Simon (Miniminter) being my favorite, JJ (KSI) being the famous one who raps and get in movies, Tobi (TBJZL) being the "hat" type of person, Josh (Zerkaa) being the odd one, Ethan (Behzinga) being the hilarious one who has a contagious laugh, Vik (Vikkstar123) being the Minecraft player, and finally Harry (Wroetoshaw) who cannot keep his calm, broken chairs, and controllers! 

Each one of them has different stories, and the book collides all of them. We learn quite a lot about them, about their routines, about their favorite games, and honestly, it's rather surprising!

When we hear YouTube, we think about the funny videos, but we don't think how much time and energy they put in their videos. Obviously, I'm talking about the YouTubers that want to be serious about it. Don't think they aren't doing anything! That they can do as they wish... Most of them are asleep during the day, working at night time, editing, creating, making more videos. The Sidemen for example, even if some live with each other, they barely see each other! 

I enjoy reading about them, the book is rather nice and creatively well put! So I thought I would share a bit with you right now:

"THE SIDEMEN RANDOM TRIVIA PAGE
I bet you think you know all there is know about us/ Yeah we spend a lot of our time making videos, telling you guys all about our lives, but here's some stuff we've never revealed before, until now...

1. JJ can't straighten his little finger after his grandmother slammed a door on his hand as a child. 

2. Tobi has a silver tooth.

3. Simon has OCD. Everything always has to be at an even number but even though it's odd, he can handle the number 5. 

4. Vikk used to have a pet duck called Chocolate and a pet chicken called Speedy.

5. Josh is ambidextrous.

6. Ethan is claustrophobic. He freaks out whenever he is in an enclosed space.

7. Tobi owns over fifty hats.

8. Simon is a shareholder in Domino's Pizza! He gets a cheque for 11p every month.

9. Harry has at least four showers every day.

10. Josh used to have two pet rats, George and Stuart (after Stuart Little).

11. JJ has a scar on his right elbow after he ran into a tree.

12. Vikk has a star named after him (The Vikkstar).

13. Ethan had a skin graft on his arm after he accidentally tipped hot water from a kettle on himself as a child. 

14.  Tobi can play the drums and the piano.

15. Neither Josh nor Ethan has ever drunk tea in their life. 

16. Harry has had an enema, and he kinda enjoyed it...

17. Simon has the title of "Laird" after someone bought him a tiny plot of land in Scotland bu he doesn't like to talk about it...   "

After receiving the book, I got the chance to get one of their sweatshirts, the burgundy one. I know I'm starting a new addiction, to be fair, I would prefer being addicted to YouTubers than drugs like some!

As I was saying at the beginning, it's about a group of YouTubers, and honestly, they know how to make me smile, Simon (Miniminter), especially! 

It's great to know a bit more about the people I watch almost every day. Definitely an interesting book, for sure, you should check them out if you enjoy following YouTubers. The Sidemen mostly do FIFA but they also have other channels where they play random games. You might be surprised by how much they do!

I'll make sure to keep a few passages for later on. There are some moments in the book that I'll make sure to write down, some of their recipes...
