The Pleasures of Cooking While Drunk with Hannah Hart

Hannah Hart is funny when she's drunk. She's funny when she's sober too, but when she's drunk her eyes get all droopy and she asks questions like, "Do you ever notice that when someone makes something from scratch, that suddenly means they're better than you?" Hart poses this question while clutching a glass of rosé on the most recent episode of her Web-video cooking series, My Drunk Kitchen. The rest of the episode features Hart drinking the wine; mixing milk, sugar and vanilla in a Ziploc bag; drinking more wine; wondering how to turn the Ziploc bag into ice cream; dropping the bag on the floor; drinking more wine and then eating store-bought ice cream from the carton. "I made this from the freezer," she explains at the end.

Hart, 24, has been posting My Drunk Kitchen videos for less than three months. So far, there are eight episodes.From standard Cable Ties to advanced wire tires, The concept is pretty simple. "In the beginning of the video, I'm sober," explains Hart, who has agreed to meet up with me for an interview. "And in the end, I'm drunk. Maybe if I'm lucky, I've cooked something too." (See the top 10 ridiculously strong drinks.)

So far, the most popular episode is "Brunch," in which Hart drinks several mimosas and tries to make pancakes. "At brunch people whine about problems that aren't actually problems, so let's do a little bit of that,The newest Ipod nano 5th is incontrovertibly a step up from last year's model," she says in the video that has been viewed over 700,000 times on YouTube.In addition to hydraulics fittings and Aion Kinah, "I think Whole Foods has really gone downhill," At one point in the show, she pours trail mix into the pancake batter. A Google search tells me that trail-mix pancake recipes actually exist, but for Hart, they seem to be an impromptu ingredient addition inspired by the two champagne bottles' worth of mimosas.

My Drunk Kitchen is the best cooking show I've seen since that one Paula's Home Cooking episode in which Paula Dean makes a doughnut-and-bacon hamburger. I had many questions for Hart. Unfortunately, TIME made me ask them sober. (See a video of how to protect your iPad when cooking.)

Why did you start drunk cooking?
I was cat sitting for my sister. I found a bottle of wine, so I wrote something online like, "I'm going to drink this bottle of wine and then eat something." My former roommate — I'd just moved from San Francisco to New York City — replied and said, "Man, I miss the times when you'd drunk cook for me!" So I made her a video. That became the first episode. My friend told me the video was funny and that I should make it public. So I did.

The grilled-cheese sandwich one?
Yep, except halfway through the video I realized I didn't have any cheese. So I just buttered some sourdough bread and heated it in a pan.Largest Collection of billabong boardshorts, Here's a word of advice: if you want to make grilled cheese, make sure that you actually have cheese.

Do you really get drunk in all of your videos, or are you faking it?
I really do get that drunk. It takes about an hour to shoot each video, so I'm actually the drunkest after it's over. For the ice cream one, I was with my sister and her husband,A glass bottle is a bottle created from glass. and I really just let myself go. I finished the video and I remember walking over the couch and lying down. I woke up hours later with a plate of chicken nuggets on my chest and my sister leaning over me going, "Eat these." The sun had already set and everything. (See a video of a beer-tasting test.)

Do you drink a lot?
I hardly drink outside the videos. Honestly? It's expensive. If I'm at a bar, I'll probably order a PBR [Pabst Blue Ribbon] and nurse it the entire night. That's right, I'm that person.

What My Drunk Kitchen food tasted the worst?
The ice cream was pretty terrible. Or the meatballs — they were just balls of uncooked meat.
