  • A quick five-minute exercise to spot your plant variety gaps
  • The “plant stacking” secret
  • The one-bowl meal strategy that makes WFPB eating easier and more flavorful (yes, spices count)

00:00:00.620 --> 00:00:01.965
We're Adam and Eve counting them.

00:00:01.965 --> 00:00:03.649
Did God ever tell them to count calories?

00:00:03.649 --> 00:00:06.266
Keep up our macros, oh, and watch your portions.

00:00:06.266 --> 00:00:12.701
Watch your portions, because if you eat too much, well hell, you're just going to have a problem with your BMI, which is another number you need to keep up with.

00:00:12.701 --> 00:00:13.906
No, just no.

00:00:13.906 --> 00:00:35.810
Jared is bringing this to you and I think it's just so amazing, because we're counting the wrong things, and it's the only counting that we endorse is counting plants.

00:00:35.810 --> 00:00:39.792
Hey sister, welcome to the Power, and it's the only counting that we endorse is counting plants.

00:00:39.792 --> 00:00:44.335
Leave fatigue behind and finally have the energy to do all the things you want to do.

00:00:44.335 --> 00:00:46.476
Hi, we're Jared and Anita Roussel.

00:00:46.496 --> 00:00:56.164
Christ followers, healthcare professionals, parents of four and big fans of great tasting food.

00:00:56.164 --> 00:01:04.177
We, too, tried exercising more, eating natural and clean foods, but we still found ourselves struggling with what we thought were changes that come with age or bad genes, and we weren't finding answers the traditional route.

00:01:04.177 --> 00:01:11.433
So we dug into the research and created our secret nutritional weapon sustainable plant-based living.

00:01:11.433 --> 00:01:15.210
The truth is, you can eat more whole plant foods and it's not hard.

00:01:15.210 --> 00:01:16.777
You just need the way.

00:01:16.777 --> 00:01:25.542
That's realistic and delicious so you never feel deprived If you're ready to enjoy your meals, no longer be held back by your health struggles and actively live your life, then you're in.

00:01:25.542 --> 00:01:28.603
To enjoy your meals, no longer be held back by your health struggles and actively live your life, then you're in the right place.

00:01:28.603 --> 00:01:33.888
So grab your favorite plant-based cup of happy pop in those ear buds and let's get started.

00:01:34.549 --> 00:01:35.510
Doing what we do.

00:01:35.510 --> 00:01:42.394
There's no shortage of food myths or misguided advice that we will hear on a fairly regular basis.

00:01:42.394 --> 00:01:51.510
Now, whether it's me visiting with patients, anita working with clients, or when we're just out at the public at large, we invariably will hear the same things over and over.

00:01:51.510 --> 00:01:57.888
Things like count your calories, or you need to count your macros, and the list goes on and on.

00:01:58.100 --> 00:02:00.469
Where do you get your protein?

00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:02.084
That's number one.

00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:04.909
How do you survive without meat?

00:02:05.260 --> 00:02:09.090
I think the evidence would suggest we survive quite beautifully actually.

00:02:09.290 --> 00:02:09.872
Happily.

00:02:09.872 --> 00:02:17.259
I'll tell you what's really happy, though, not to change the subject, but we can pretty much talk about anything right now because I have a chocolate Frosty in my cup.

00:02:17.259 --> 00:02:29.986
Now, if you want to experience plant-based joy I'm just saying, and you've never experienced Anita's Frosty go right now to poweronplantscom, forward slash cookbook and get your copy of the recipe.

00:02:29.986 --> 00:02:32.881
It literally takes five minutes to make this.

00:02:32.881 --> 00:02:34.187
It's a whole nother level.

00:02:34.187 --> 00:02:41.105
I feel that way about everything we eat and drink, right, jared, because, seriously, if it's not next level, I don't want my name on it.

00:02:41.105 --> 00:02:48.108
I want it to be something that is going to light you up and help you love this way of living, because this is how it should be.

00:02:48.108 --> 00:02:52.848
Life should be enjoyable, it should be simple, it should be easy, it should be exciting.

00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:55.330
If it's not next level, anita will abandon it.

00:02:55.330 --> 00:02:58.021
I'm not kidding 100%, it's got to be amazing.

00:02:58.021 --> 00:03:05.414
All of our cookbooks are fantastic, but the vegan chocolate frosty is in our Thrive cookbook, so if you're looking for that one, it's in Thrive.

00:03:06.061 --> 00:03:08.844
Ooh, don't miss Thrive, Don't miss original either.

00:03:08.944 --> 00:03:09.848
Don't miss any of them.

00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:13.550
Yeah, it's just, it's the taste of goodness that you're looking for.

00:03:13.550 --> 00:03:15.747
It's that thing that's going to give you the spark.

00:03:15.747 --> 00:03:22.831
You'll start finding more new favorites and before long you'll be feeling good and going where has this been all my life?

00:03:22.831 --> 00:03:26.282
Good and going, where has this been all my life?

00:03:26.282 --> 00:03:30.673
I mean, one of our clients just told me and we hear this so many times I had been doing this for a while before I found you and found your recipes.

00:03:30.673 --> 00:03:44.024
But your recipes changed my life, Because I never realized how easy this could be but how enjoyable it could be, Because they had a bad run in with some nasty, gnarly brownies that were dry and crumbly.

00:03:44.024 --> 00:03:48.533
They had cookbooks that were vegan, cookbooks that had 20 ingredients each.

00:03:48.533 --> 00:03:51.865
So, yeah, there are things we believe that just aren't true.

00:03:51.865 --> 00:03:57.742
These myths like it's hard, it's difficult, it takes a long time, or how am I going to get my protein?

00:03:58.175 --> 00:04:04.328
Now they say count calories, but we say count plants.

00:04:04.328 --> 00:04:07.042
That's the only counting we do.

00:04:07.042 --> 00:04:07.745
That's a good one.

00:04:07.935 --> 00:04:12.187
Now, unless you like numbers, I'm just saying why else would you want to be counting when it comes to your food?

00:04:12.187 --> 00:04:12.836
Why?

00:04:12.836 --> 00:04:20.862
I mean when you could be free to be doing other things, worrying yourself about numbers and keeping up with grams of this and points of that.

00:04:20.862 --> 00:04:24.675
It's just not going to work long term because it's exhausting.

00:04:25.016 --> 00:04:27.966
And this would be a more modern convention.

00:04:27.966 --> 00:04:31.384
I mean, did people count macros 200, 300 years ago?

00:04:31.384 --> 00:04:33.100
No, they were just eating food.

00:04:33.314 --> 00:04:34.620
Were Adam and Eve counting them.

00:04:34.620 --> 00:04:36.298
Did God ever tell them to count calories?

00:04:36.298 --> 00:04:38.925
Keep up with macros, oh, and watch your portions.

00:04:38.925 --> 00:04:45.362
Watch your portions, because if you eat too much, well hell, you're just going to have a problem with your BMI, which is another number you need to keep up with.

00:04:45.362 --> 00:04:46.588
No, just no.

00:04:46.588 --> 00:04:48.615
So I love what you're talking about today.

00:04:48.615 --> 00:04:54.829
Jared is bringing this to you and I think it's just so amazing because we're counting the wrong things.

00:04:55.154 --> 00:04:58.944
And it's the only counting that we endorse is counting plants.

00:04:58.944 --> 00:05:01.136
Now, I didn't come up with this myself.

00:05:01.136 --> 00:05:10.139
I heard about this that in Japan, the Ministry of Health, their recommendation is you want to eat 30 plants per week.

00:05:10.139 --> 00:05:21.927
The reason being is that they recognize that getting a wide variety of different plants helps to make your gut microbiome flourish, which then adds additional health benefits.

00:05:22.129 --> 00:05:22.369
Yes.

00:05:22.814 --> 00:05:34.514
So they're specifically, from what I could read, recommending this for the gut microbiome, but we also know that all the phytonutrients things that have yet to even be identified are found in plants.

00:05:34.514 --> 00:05:42.723
But you're not going to get that wide variety if you're just eating those same three or four, your token iceberg lettuce and tomato and cucumber.

00:05:42.723 --> 00:05:46.682
Nothing wrong with those, we enjoy those regularly, but that's not the only thing that we eat.

00:05:47.023 --> 00:05:53.125
So, instead of worrying about the few nutrients that we do know about, think about phytonutrients, all the nutrients that are found in plants.

00:05:53.165 --> 00:06:02.298
We've talked about this, but I want you to really wrap your mind around it this time All these nutrients that have been discovered that haven't even been named yet, tens of thousands of them that scientists have discovered.

00:06:02.298 --> 00:06:16.528
But then think about all the others that God's put in there, that they haven't even discovered or seen yet, that are yet to even be discovered and we're worried about a couple and keeping up with the grams of this and that and figuring out the best ways to get them, when you could just eat more plants.

00:06:16.528 --> 00:06:22.103
That's so much more enjoyable and you know you're going to be getting a wider variety than you would have before if you just think.

00:06:22.103 --> 00:06:25.305
Okay, that's simple 30 plants in a week, 30 different plants in a week.

00:06:25.305 --> 00:06:29.036
So the question then is are you currently getting 30 plants a week?

00:06:29.036 --> 00:06:29.778
How do you know that?

00:06:29.778 --> 00:06:37.449
Set yourself a five minute timer and just brainstorm and write down all the plants you regularly buy and you're actually eating during the week.

00:06:37.449 --> 00:06:38.838
See how many there are.

00:06:38.838 --> 00:06:42.567
Be honest with yourself, because this can change everything for you.

00:06:42.935 --> 00:06:48.007
And, as you do this, I want you to expand your thinking, though, because it's not just the lettuce, the tomato.

00:06:48.007 --> 00:06:55.658
If you listen to our last podcast episode, I was giving you my new favorite oats, and I want you to count this for me, anita.

00:06:55.677 --> 00:06:57.021
You're making me hungry again, though All right.

00:06:57.041 --> 00:06:57.624
Well, that's all right.

00:06:57.624 --> 00:07:00.805
We can eat after this podcast episode I like it.

00:07:01.387 --> 00:07:02.471
And you know why we can do that?

00:07:02.471 --> 00:07:07.966
Because we're not counting calories and we feel hungry now, so we can just go eat and enjoy it.

00:07:08.355 --> 00:07:08.935
Absolutely.

00:07:08.935 --> 00:07:10.600
So we start with my ball.

00:07:10.600 --> 00:07:12.302
So oats, that's one.

00:07:12.302 --> 00:07:15.269
Then I put pumpkin pie spice in it.

00:07:15.269 --> 00:07:18.884
Now you may not be thinking of that as a plant, but what does that have?

00:07:18.884 --> 00:07:21.283
It's got nutmeg, it has cinnamon.

00:07:21.283 --> 00:07:22.721
I'm sure there's some other things.

00:07:23.016 --> 00:07:24.834
I think it has cloves, different things, ginger.

00:07:24.834 --> 00:07:29.543
I'm not sure what all's in it, I just know it tastes fantastic, so you have that.

00:07:29.834 --> 00:07:37.526
So okay, let's just say there's four To the oats, so that's five.

00:07:37.526 --> 00:07:39.766
Now I will add some extra cinnamon.

00:07:40.521 --> 00:07:42.033
Oh, so you're counting your spices.

00:07:42.033 --> 00:07:42.939
You're counting the spices too.

00:07:42.939 --> 00:07:45.225
Yes, they're plants, and you're getting nutrients from that.

00:07:45.487 --> 00:07:47.170
So I add vanilla, that's six.

00:07:47.170 --> 00:07:50.470
Then I put water, that's not really a plant.

00:07:50.470 --> 00:07:53.168
Then I put some date syrup, that's seven.

00:07:53.579 --> 00:07:55.687
Jared you're plant stacking.

00:07:56.168 --> 00:07:59.507
Exactly, then I'll throw some blueberries on there.

00:07:59.507 --> 00:08:05.379
That.

00:08:05.399 --> 00:08:05.540
Exactly.

00:08:05.540 --> 00:08:06.622
Then I'll throw some blueberries on there.

00:08:06.622 --> 00:08:06.983
That's eight.

00:08:06.983 --> 00:08:08.226
Maybe I might throw a little mango, that's nine.

00:08:08.226 --> 00:08:09.329
In one dish I have had nine plants, do you not?

00:08:09.348 --> 00:08:11.213
think this is one of the best things about eating the power on plants method.

00:08:11.213 --> 00:08:14.480
When you use our method, you're not making like we grew up and you have to come up with all these different dishes.

00:08:14.480 --> 00:08:22.517
Like you have a main that's a meat, and then you have a side that has meat in it and you have another side that has oil and meat in it meat and then you have a side that has meat in it and you have another side that has oil and meat in it.

00:08:22.517 --> 00:08:28.194
You have to come up with all these different sides to fill your plate, and if you can learn how to make these one dish meals that are so simple, it's going to blow your mind.

00:08:28.194 --> 00:08:31.372
But it's a one dish meal, but it has all these different plants in it.

00:08:31.471 --> 00:08:35.423
Think of the wide variety of nutrients that you're getting now when you're plant stacking.

00:08:35.423 --> 00:08:36.904
It's so much simpler too.

00:08:36.904 --> 00:08:47.890
I want you to think about the fact that if you're the one that does most of the cooking and preparing of food, it is so much easier to get a lot of plants into one dish than to figure out all these different dishes you have to make using the different plants.

00:08:47.890 --> 00:08:49.923
Just wrap your mind around that one thing.

00:08:49.923 --> 00:08:52.912
Can you see how much easier this would make things for you.

00:08:53.419 --> 00:09:06.912
Historically, if you had a hunk of meat and the meat was the meal then you'd do a side of corn, a side of lima beans, maybe some rice in my house, or maybe potato, so that would be three, whereas in my bowl of oats I've just named nine.

00:09:07.640 --> 00:09:10.147
True true, although we did plant stacks.

00:09:10.147 --> 00:09:11.750
Sometimes we're stacked different things.

00:09:11.750 --> 00:09:17.543
Like if our parents made maybe a little side salad or something, but it still would have a couple of ingredients, not a whole lot.

00:09:17.543 --> 00:09:20.692
Like if we were making up a stir salad in the power plant's way.

00:09:20.692 --> 00:09:25.864
Right, it's totally different.

00:09:25.864 --> 00:09:28.154
So you're going to learn, as you work with us, the ways to get more and more and more of these in your life.

00:09:28.174 --> 00:09:40.091
But what we want you to do today is take out a sheet of paper or apple notes, something like that, and just jot down very quickly, set the timer for five minutes what whole plant foods am I eating right now on a regular basis and what am I not getting?

00:09:40.091 --> 00:09:41.274
So first you want to look at it.

00:09:41.274 --> 00:09:42.557
Just think what am I getting?

00:09:42.557 --> 00:09:43.961
Don't think about what you're not getting yet.

00:09:43.961 --> 00:09:44.722
What am I getting?

00:09:44.722 --> 00:09:47.129
Set that timer, write everything down, brain dump it.

00:09:47.129 --> 00:09:49.063
Ask your spouse, ask your kids.

00:09:49.063 --> 00:09:50.269
Look in your pantry.

00:09:50.269 --> 00:09:50.851
What's there?

00:09:50.851 --> 00:09:55.943
I guarantee you, if it's not in your pantry and it's not in your fridge or freezer, you're not eating it on a regular basis.

00:09:55.943 --> 00:09:56.465
You're not.

00:09:56.465 --> 00:09:58.086
You might think you are, but you're not.

00:09:58.086 --> 00:10:03.735
And the little token slice of thin, unripened tomato on your daily burger does not count.

00:10:03.735 --> 00:10:07.273
I'm just saying Like that, just you can't count that as a full serving.

00:10:07.312 --> 00:10:07.855
It is a plant.

00:10:08.299 --> 00:10:10.988
Yeah, you can count it, but it feels like cheating.

00:10:10.988 --> 00:10:12.171
It just feels like cheating.

00:10:12.559 --> 00:10:13.581
It's not going to undo the burger.

00:10:13.581 --> 00:10:15.063
I'm sorry, it's just not so.

00:10:15.063 --> 00:10:16.905
It really is not as hard as as you might think.

00:10:16.905 --> 00:10:19.951
And look at things like black pepper.

00:10:19.951 --> 00:10:23.475
That's a plant, Italian seasoning, I mean.

00:10:27.620 --> 00:10:29.965
It has thyme oregano and rosemary and our particular blend has a couple of other spices in it.

00:10:29.965 --> 00:10:30.485
So again you're stacking.

00:10:30.505 --> 00:10:33.072
So don't just look at the big part of the dish.

00:10:33.072 --> 00:10:38.943
Also, look at all the different things that you're adding, because those add flavor, but they add nutrients, they add benefits to them.

00:10:39.125 --> 00:10:39.846
Look at the color.

00:10:39.846 --> 00:10:41.581
Is everything on your list white?

00:10:41.581 --> 00:10:44.106
If it is, you need to add more color in there.

00:10:44.106 --> 00:10:45.129
Excellent point.

00:10:45.129 --> 00:10:50.570
And if it's all green and you eat green cabbage, well, why are you not eating purple cabbage, right?

00:10:50.570 --> 00:10:51.500
Add some of that in there.

00:10:51.500 --> 00:10:55.900
And so one thing you want to do once you've spent your five minutes, you jot down what you're actually eating.

00:10:55.900 --> 00:10:57.643
Look at room for improvement.

00:10:57.643 --> 00:10:59.304
Don't use it as a judgmental tool.

00:10:59.304 --> 00:11:00.787
It's like what could I add?

00:11:00.787 --> 00:11:02.350
This week, add a couple more.

00:11:02.350 --> 00:11:03.730
The next week, add a couple more.

00:11:03.730 --> 00:11:06.014
Make those regulars that you get on rotation.

00:11:06.014 --> 00:11:06.936
How do you make that easy?

00:11:06.936 --> 00:11:09.144
You find your new favorites.

00:11:09.144 --> 00:11:12.196
You get in Pi, our community service group at powerandplantscom forward.

00:11:12.196 --> 00:11:23.965
Slash Pi, where you come into community and share and learn and grow, and you get ideas for new things that you can easily add in as you find your new favorite meals.

00:11:23.985 --> 00:11:26.410
And don't look at this exercise that Anita has just given you as a chore.

00:11:26.410 --> 00:11:27.841
Look at it as a challenge.

00:11:27.841 --> 00:11:31.268
If I'm missing the purples, what can I get?

00:11:31.268 --> 00:11:38.187
Blueberries, purple, sweet potatoes ways to get more flavor, but also more nutrients and more health benefits.

00:11:38.447 --> 00:11:39.668
Blackberries.

00:11:40.149 --> 00:11:41.211
Yes, blackberries.

00:11:41.773 --> 00:11:42.073
Okay.

00:11:42.073 --> 00:11:51.046
So now you have your list and you're thinking, okay, now I have this list and you can kind of scratch off, add to it, keep it somewhere where you can see it.

00:11:51.046 --> 00:11:56.201
But what's easier that's already set up for you is an app that's out there.

00:11:56.201 --> 00:11:58.624
It's Dr Greger's Daily Dozen.

00:11:58.624 --> 00:12:03.995
Okay, so if you go on that, that is an easy way to start getting more variety.

00:12:03.995 --> 00:12:04.798
Use it.

00:12:04.798 --> 00:12:09.116
It's going to help you vary things up and just keep thinking 30, 30.

00:12:09.205 --> 00:12:17.816
I want to try to get 30 a week and kind of look at it and tweak your list and use the Daily Dozen as another tool to help you, because you can just click, click, click.

00:12:17.816 --> 00:12:18.970
What am I eating in a day?

00:12:18.970 --> 00:12:20.731
I'd say, don't do it forever.

00:12:20.731 --> 00:12:22.371
You don't have to do these things forever.

00:12:22.371 --> 00:12:34.038
It's just a tool to help you get started, so that you can expand your horizons and get more of the life-giving foods into your world, so that you feel like you're alive.

00:12:34.038 --> 00:12:35.062
You eat the life-giving foods.

00:12:35.062 --> 00:12:36.489
You feel like you're alive, right?

00:12:36.489 --> 00:12:37.371
That just makes sense.

00:12:37.371 --> 00:12:48.956
And then again, like we talk about, those, opportunities start opening up for you, because now you can, because your body is a tool that's going to get you where you were created to go.

00:12:48.956 --> 00:12:53.316
If your tool is not working well, you're like a broken down car on the side of the road.

00:12:53.316 --> 00:12:53.917
You're stuck.

00:12:54.004 --> 00:12:56.033
It's still a car, but it's not going anywhere.

00:12:56.325 --> 00:12:57.571
It's just a terrible place to be.

00:12:57.571 --> 00:13:04.634
I was there for so long and my heart goes out to you if you're there, but I want you to leave encouraged that it does not have to stay that way for you.

00:13:04.634 --> 00:13:07.217
This is one simple way to get going.

00:13:07.217 --> 00:13:09.687
Anita, I don't know what to do, but there's so much information.

00:13:09.687 --> 00:13:11.711
Okay, take one thing, just one thing.

00:13:11.711 --> 00:13:13.155
I always say this, just one thing.

00:13:13.155 --> 00:13:17.366
So today, take out that one piece of paper, get out your one timer.

00:13:17.366 --> 00:13:18.086
Use your phone.

00:13:18.086 --> 00:13:18.866
I don't have a timer.

00:13:18.866 --> 00:13:19.388
Use your phone.

00:13:19.388 --> 00:13:20.427
You probably have a phone.

00:13:20.427 --> 00:13:21.349
I don't have a phone.

00:13:21.349 --> 00:13:22.288
You have a computer.

00:13:22.288 --> 00:13:23.929
There are timers online that are free.

00:13:23.929 --> 00:13:25.711
Like there's always an excuse.

00:13:25.850 --> 00:13:28.653
All you have to do is say, hey, siri set a five minute timer.

00:13:28.653 --> 00:13:30.212
Right and it will do it.

00:13:30.352 --> 00:13:32.715
We love you too much to let you keep using excuses.

00:13:32.715 --> 00:13:35.056
If you've listened this long, you're ready for change.

00:13:35.056 --> 00:13:38.898
So do this Get out the sheet of paper, count them, see if there are 30.

00:13:38.898 --> 00:13:55.265
If there aren't, what else could you add?

00:13:55.265 --> 00:13:55.426
If you?

00:13:55.446 --> 00:13:55.645
had 30,.

00:13:55.645 --> 00:13:56.287
Could you eat 31?

00:13:56.287 --> 00:13:57.028
Challenge yourself to add one more.

00:13:57.028 --> 00:14:02.995
Or if you eat those same 30 and you look back and you realize I'm in a rut and I've been eating these same 30 for quite a while now, what could you switch up?

00:14:03.216 --> 00:14:04.717
Bury it up.

00:14:04.717 --> 00:14:07.100
That's so good, so good.

00:14:07.304 --> 00:14:20.095
I think it would be helpful to do this from time to time as just a snapshot, like Anita said, not something you want to do every single day, but maybe put it on your calendar once every three months just to do a quick snapshot and assess what am I eating?

00:14:20.095 --> 00:14:22.847
Am I still getting a good variety of different types of plants?

00:14:22.847 --> 00:14:25.673
Am I stuck on the same thing over and over again?

00:14:25.673 --> 00:14:26.934
What could I switch up?

00:14:26.934 --> 00:14:29.058
That way it changes my profile.

00:14:29.158 --> 00:14:33.394
And there is always something new and exciting to try In the plant world.

00:14:33.394 --> 00:14:40.436
It's amazing how many options you have and we keep on repeat buying just those same 10 to 15 things over and over.

00:14:40.436 --> 00:14:44.172
Switch it up Like okay, so you always buy potatoes?

00:14:44.172 --> 00:14:45.535
Do you buy sweet potatoes?

00:14:45.535 --> 00:14:47.152
Yes, Anita, I buy sweet potatoes.

00:14:47.152 --> 00:14:48.158
Are they always orange?

00:14:48.158 --> 00:14:49.023
Yeah, I didn't know.

00:14:49.023 --> 00:14:49.886
There were other colors.

00:14:49.886 --> 00:14:50.630
Are there other colors?

00:14:50.630 --> 00:14:51.394
Yes, there are.

00:14:51.394 --> 00:14:56.895
Oh, yes, you need to be eating the other colors of sweet potatoes the purple ones and the white ones, If you haven't discovered those yet.

00:14:56.895 --> 00:15:01.572
You have some great things coming and we're about to have a post come out about that.

00:15:01.793 --> 00:15:03.677
I have a feeling inside our community.

00:15:03.677 --> 00:15:05.279
So, again, you need to get in there.

00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:12.436
You're not going to want to miss this because there's someone in there that you're about to meet and she has a great idea of how to prep these potatoes.

00:15:12.436 --> 00:15:14.091
So get in there right now.

00:15:14.091 --> 00:15:15.227
You're not going to want to miss it.

At poweronplantscom forward slash P-I-E.
