Fire and Ice

Hey, y'all. Tonight on Paula's Party, we're going to extremes

We're going from fire to ice. Things are really going to start to sizzle, y'all

When the Queen of Ice, Dorothy Hamill, stops fire for a fiery fajita

And Ben and Jerry lets me create a flavor of my very own

You shut up and get out of here. Then we're setting things ablaze, y'all, with s'mores brulee

It is freaking delicious. And how's this? A baked bomb Alaska. So whether it's hot or cold for our eyes, y'all pick your favorite

but whatever it is, let's party! Don't stop

Stop it now. Well, let me tell y'all what today's show is about

It's about, like, extremes. Hot and cold and fire and ice. Would you follow me

What's your name? Harvey. Hey, Harvey. Nice to meet you. It's nice to meet you

Y'all, I got my fire, don't I? Yes, ma'am. But I need some ice

I mean, I got a little ice. Harvey, this is like 30 carats

I need like 100 carats. And I have to tell you, none of this stuff is mine

So what I'd like for you to do, Harvey, is load me up with my ice, baby

I'm not standing too close to you, Emma. thank you Harvey thank you

I'm so y'all excited we've got some wonderful guests planned for today

and uh my first guest she was the sweetheart of America the gold medal Olympic winner

Dorothy Hamill! I'm so thrilled to be here

I'm such a fan. She is so cute. Dorothy and I met in Baltimore, Maryland

And I said, I cannot believe it. She looks just like she did when she was on the ice

I so loved your haircut. I so loved it, y'all. I went to the beauty shop

I got me the Dorothy Hamill cut. I loved it so much I took my boys and got them the Dorothy Hamill cut too

Sorry, Janie and Dobby. Sorry. Well, listen, I've got a special dish that I'm going to prepare for you. Okay

Gold medal fajitas. Yum. Doesn't that sound delicious? I tell you what, Dorothy, why don't you come down here and you slice these bell peppers

but make sure you have them skin side down so the knife won't slip on you

because I don't want you to cut those pretty fingers, because you need them to lace up them ice cakes

And I'll come down here, and I'm going to marinate the chicken, okay

Okay. Because I chose chicken because I felt like you were just a chicken eater

I am. I love chicken. You do? You never can have too much chicken. Yeah, yeah, that's right

All right, y'all, I'm going to start the marinade. I've got all lemon juice, fresh garlic cloves

garlic powder onion powder and cumin alright because I'm cooking

chicken Dorothy this will need to marinate for about 20 minutes keep going

keep going I'm a perfect is that good yeah I knew I loved you girlfriend

That's why I have to spend all this time on the cold ice. All right, so tell me all about it

How old were you when you won your gold medal? 19... 31 years ago

I'm 50. 51, actually, soon. You all weren't even born then

51 years old. Your audience wasn't born then. Oh, gosh, that smells so hot, Dorothy

It is hot. Oh, my goodness. Mmm, smells good. All right, so you just want to seal this up and, you know, rub your meat

I've taught y'all to rub your meat. I haven't rubbed meat in a long time. All right, what do you mean you haven't rubbed meat in a long time

You haven't been cooking? All right. Have we got any bachelors out here

Harvey, are you a bachelor? No. Oh, he was almost going to think about it

All right, Dorothy. I got some honey that's been down here marinating

You got the peppers going. I'm going to put this on the grill, and we're going to cook this for probably about 10 minutes

Should there be any salt and pepper in any of this? Yeah, honey. You don't got salt and pepper up there

I don't got it. I got you soon. Thank you. I'm sort of new at this

I've tried to make fajitas, but they have never been very good. Well, this is so easy to make

All right. Here we go. You said fire, didn't you? Oh, sorry

We got the fire going, y'all. Yeah. Just a couple of beers will be okay

Look at Dorothy's eye. Look at that. They're so heavy, they won't stay up

Yeah, they're so big. They fall over. Tough problem to have. You know what? This happens around 50, you know

No kidding. They just kind of start dragging. Well, listen, y'all don't go anywhere

because in two minutes, we're going to be back, because I'm on fire with Dorothy Hamill

So come right back. You are hot, Mama. Up next, here we go

One, two, three. And later, it's Ice Ice Baby. A knife and a fork, guys

Welcome back, y'all

Today's show is fire and ice. What? I am here with a hot, hot, hot queen of ice, Dorothy Hamlet

You're very hot. I may be hot weather-wise, but... No, no, honey, I can't hold a candle to you

But anyway, I wanted to make Dorothy a hot dish. So we're making Olympic sizzling fajitas

So we got our chicken ready. And listen now, these have been in the oven, y'all, and they're hot as fire

All right, you're ready here with yours. I'm going to turn you off. Yeah, I'm burning mine now. My chicken is ready

I'm going to take it up, and I'm going to give it just a quick cut

Yum. Now we've got our tortillas over here, Dorothy, in our warmer

You want to make sure that you warm up your shells because if they're warm that way, it won't crack on you and break. Right

Yeah. Oh, yes, it looks... Whoa! I just lost a breast. That's for the dog

Oh, that looks so good. Doesn't it look yummy? Uh-huh. All right, look, that's so thick, I'm going to cut it in two this-a-way

All right. Now, we've got a bunch of stuff over here, Dorothy Bale. We've got salsa

We've got guacamole, which I love. Cheese, lime, sour cream. So here's your plate

Put whatever you want to. Chicken first or whatever you want to do it. May I serve you? Oh, no, honey

Let me serve you. No. You are the queen. No, let me serve you

I insist. It's your show. Now, I want to serve you, my precious

All right. You like peppers and onions? I love them. Mm-hmm. Those yummy onions

All right. Do you like cheese? Yes, I do. I know you did

Look at this. All right. Do you like lime? Yes, I do

I know you do. I know you do. Do you like guacamole

Yes, I do. I knew you did. Whoops. You like salsa? Uh-huh

Of course I do. Do you like sour cream? And it wouldn't be a Paula Deen show without a little bit of sour cream

Yeah, without a little bit. Yeah. Never met at that. I didn't like it

All right, now, how are you going to share this? Well, I put too much stuff in it

Oh, no such thing. All right, here. Let's do it. Should we do it together

Yes, let's do it together. We'll be with some buddies here. Yes. Here we go

One, two, three. One, two, three. Woo! Woo! Woo

Woo! Woo! Is it not wonderful? That is the best fajita I have ever..

I know it. You're laughing at me, Paula. Here, here, let me see

I've ever had. God, that's good. It should win a gold medal, shouldn't it

Y'all want to see a gold medal? Well, I had to dust it off

Ah! You know, you're such a wonderful example to all of us women

that you can do whatever you want to do. Well, listen, I've had such a fabulous time with you being here today

I'm so honored. Dream come true for me. Listen, I can't let you go because I have a special surprise for you

I was so thrilled that you were going to be here with us. And when I saw this, I said, I must have this for Dorothy

because what's more fitting for the woman that has done more for ice than snow cones

Come on out, fear no ice! Thank you! Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh

Oh! Here, here, y'all. Just in case. My hair

My hair. Dorothy. Oh, yeah. Whoa. They're cutting that out. Amazing

Wow. Woo! Oh, no

Woo! A knife and a fork, Dorothy. No! No

Oh! Oh! Y'all, there's more to come

It's going to get hot and then it's going to get cold again. We'll see y'all back here in a minute at Paula's Party

Don't miss it! We're having a ball! Up next, you've never cooked s'mores quite like this

Isn't it fabulous? And later, it's the ultimate dessert when fire and ice come together

Yay! Welcome back

We have had so much fun today, haven't we? We've had some heat

We've had some cold. But right now, we are really fixing to play with some fire

I want you all to meet my friend Brian Brushwood. He is here to help me with this next recipe

Now, we all loved s'mores as a kid growing up, didn't we? The graham crackers, the marshmallows, and the chocolate

All the tables have the makings for their own s'mores. Y'all are making s'mores out there, aren't you

Well, this is a s'mores creme brulee. We're not going to sugar the top

We're going to do a little something different. So while I'm making our creme brulee, Brian

I want you to just inspire me. No, I got you. No, I tell you what I'll do

I know it's not, you're not supposed to play with fire in the kitchen, but that's kind of what we're doing

Children, do not do this at home. Do not do this at home, children

Let's see if we can get this. There we go. Oh, my God

Brian, do you ever, like, get real hot? Oh, yeah. I was just checking

It's one of those things, though. It's like the better you want it to look, the more you've got to burn. It's suffering for your art

Yeah you got to suffer a little bit don you All right y I got two cups of heavy cream I got two cups of half and half and I just finished cutting chopping up the last of eight ounces of a semi chocolate

Go ahead, baby. Okay. I'm going to show you guys a feat called the jack-o'-lantern. You guys are going to dig this. Here we go

The jack-o'-lantern. Oh! All right

Now, y'all, in this measuring cup, I've got eight egg yolks, and now I'm tempering them

And by tempering, I mean I'm slowly adding the hot cream to the egg yolks

Because, see, I don't want to pour just my yolks in here, and then I wound up with a pot of scrambled eggs

Right. So, pour it back into here, and I'm going to just cook that for a couple of minutes

Now, what does the eggs do to the mix? I'm totally dumb about cooking. Well, see, it's like a custard

Creme brulee is kind of like a baked custard-like, you know? Okay

Okay? All right, so let me quickly... Mmm, what stinks? Why do you lean over to me while you say that

I think it's your... Aftershave? Yes. All right, so y'all, I'm going to come over here

and I'm going to pour this custard into our cups. And while I'm doing this, Brian, grab the boiling water right there

All right, got it? All right, you're going to pour it in there. We're going to bake this in a water bath

You know, just so it won't burn, you know, and it'll just cook up like silk

There we go. You like the way I poured that right into that mix back? Yes, I do. I love it. I'm handy in the kitchen

Whoa! What? What? What? What? That's enough. Oh, good. All right, would you do me a favor

Anything. Anything at all. All right, would you take that since you are so good with heat? Right

Would you take that, please? Yes, and put it on in? Put it in the oven. Awesome. Now, y'all, we're going to bake this for about 50 minutes at 350

And the chocolate. See? This is what it's going to look like

Can you see that, Dan? Smell it. That's good. Did you know that creme brulee actually means burnt cream in French

Now, normally, we would sugar this, catch it on fire, you know, burn it

But we're not going to do that since we're making a creme brulee in honor of that fabulous s'mores

We're going to take marshmallows. I really need you, Brian, for this

No, no, no. You don't know how bad you need me. This is how I wanted to roast marshmallows

I was very excited about this. Right? All right, honey

All right, what am I doing? Hit those marshmallows. That wasn't what you meant

All right. I've been looking at Brian, and I've been trying to decide

You're really cute. But does he look like the Statue of Liberty? Yeah

So I'll say this again, Brian. Yes. Hit the marshmallows with the fire

All right, here we go. Okay. There we go. Well, I thought you'd like to do this

We'll actually get a proper torch here. Would you do the honors? I would do the honors

How brown do you want these to get? Is there a limit to the browniness? I want them like melted

Oh, okay. But not burned. Not burned. And then to go ahead and tone in our s'mores theme

I'm going to take just a few graham crackers and stick in the bowl

Okay, taste the creme brulee. Awesome. So what do you think? I, um, I..

You like it? I like it much better than just eating a chocolate around a campfire. It is freaking delicious is what it is

Isn't it fabulous? Y'all must make this. Anyway, we got to take a quick break and we'll see you in a minute

There's more fun. Would you do this cutaway for me, please, Brian

Stick around. We're going to have a lot more fun after the break. Yes

That's good. Yeah. Come on back. Up next, fire and ice. A match made in heaven

And later, a dream come true. Cream cheese and my ice cream

Yes. My very own ice cream flavors. So far tonight on Paula's Party

gold medalist Dorothy Hamill took an Olympic-sized bite out of my sizzling fajitas

And it was ice. Ice, baby. Oh, a knife and a fork, Dorothy

And coming up, it's Ben and Jerry and me. My very own ice cream flavors

Oh my goodness. Y'all, look. Welcome back. Y'all have been great today

Y'all have been better than I deserve. In honor of fire and ice, I'm fixing to prepare for y'all a baked Alaska

So we're going to have the cold, icy inside, and then we're going to have the hot meringue on the outside

So what y'all say, let's get started. But I need some help

I need some help. I need some help. I think I like you

Is it all right? Oh, definitely. I trust him with you. But do you trust me with him

That's the question. How are you, Paula? You're a big old hunk of man

What's your name, darling? Travis. Travis. Well, have you ever made a baked Alaska

Never. because I'm fixing to show you how, and you are not going to believe how simple these are to make y'all

The cake part can kind of be anything you want. It could be a store-bought cake

It could be leftover gooey butter cakes. I'm going to use just a regular brownie cake that's full of nuts

And I'm going to stick in Cherry Garcia by Ben & Jerry's

That sounds great. All right, so I'm going to finish beating up the meringue

And while I'm doing that, Travis, I would love for you to take this ice cream and pack it down in this bowl

And I'd like for you to fill it up to about that rim. And, I mean, take your spatula and really pack it in good, okay

You got it. Just let your ice cream soften in the fridge for about 30 minutes, y'all, before you try spooning it out

Now I got four egg whites over here y that I added like a fourth half a teaspoon of cream of tartar Now I have beat them until they foamy So I going to beat them just a little bit more because they been sitting here waiting on me

I've done this right. Yes, you're doing it perfect. And then I'm going to add a third of a cup of sugar

And I'm going to beat these until they form stiff peaks. And I have to tell you, you don't want to make this, Travis, like on a day that it's raining

because my rain will not work out if there's a lot of high humidity

So I'm just going to sprinkle in my sugar. Where are you from, Travis

From Arkansas. From Arkansas? Ma'am. What part of Arkansas? Jonesboro, Arkansas. Oh, right

So you're in the northern, Arkansas. Northeast, Arkansas. You bet. We're almost there, Travis

Can you get it, baby? All right, do we have some scissors around

Yeah. I can tell, Travis, that you have broken in to a carton of ice cream before, haven't you

Once in a while. All right, now I'm going to load my pastry bag with our meringue

and then that's going to go to the freezer, y'all, because, you know, this is going to go in the oven

so you have to make sure that that ice cream is frozen as hard as my arteries are, Travis

I mean, so you're talking about a minimum of four hours. You know, and if you've got overnight, then do that

And then all we're going to do is take our brownie. There we go

Which we've made sure it's the same size as the top of our bowl

And we're really going to press it down. We're going to wrap this up, and we're going to put it in the freezer for at least four hours or overnight

Now, you want to pull out the magic one? All right. You know, ice cream, children, and animals

they're the three of the hardest things you'll ever work with because ice cream melts

All right, so what I want you to do, Travis, is put the meringue on this

You want to do that? Sure. Have you ever worked with meringues? Never in my life. Knock yourself out, baby

All right, Nick, yeah. Keep your hand up here high. I'm just going to help him because he may run short

All right, now what we want to do, Travis, let's take our spoon, and we want to seal this

We want to bring it to the edge of our dish. And this dish that we're using is an ovenproof dish

And we want to seal that real good so that that ice cream won't melt

That meringue is going to help protect our ice cream. And you can take your spoon, you know, and do you some pretty little curly cues

All right, now we're going to put this in the oven at 450 degrees

and we're going to let it cook for about two to three minutes. And we're going to have to be very, very careful, Travis, that it doesn't burn

Okay. So stick it in, honey. Now for a treat for you

Brian, what you say let's turn Travis into a human torch you want to

All right. We got two minutes to do this because you're going to be the human torch that lights the baked Alaska

Here, you ready? Let's do it. Here's what you're going to do, all right? You're going to pinch one of the torches

When you pull your fingers away, your fingers will be on fire. Don't freak out, okay

It's all part of the process. You're going to pinch it for about a half second, transfer the flame over to the other torch

then we'll go ahead and light the baked Alaska. All right, here we go. All right

There we go. Very good. Nice to go. Did it hurt

I don't know, baby. That was good. There we go. Thank you

Here, we'll transfer this flame here. There we go. All right. Now, we ain't done yet, y'all, because we got some brandy over here

And I'm going to pour this over our baked Alaska. Here we go

All right, a little brandy. Hey! Great job. That was fantastic. All right, so, guys, y'all ready to taste

You better believe it. It's the fire and the ice. All right, Brian, look in the drawer

See if we got a... Spoons or forks? I don't know what you eat these with. Honey, you're eating it, so whatever makes it

It makes you happy. You ready to dig in? Here's to a successful first lesson

There it is. Yo. I had so much fun making this with you guys

We'll see you back here in a second. It's fire and ice, y'all

Fire and ice. Up next, Ben and Jerry gives me the scoop on my very own flavor

Perfect. And later, an ice sculpture, y'all, beyond my wildest dreams. Perfect

I don't even know what to say about these guys, other than Ben and Jerry's

John Schaefer! Come on out! Y'all, this is John Schaefer

And John is a developer. He is the flavor guru of Ben & Jerry's

I'm delighted to have you with me, John. Well, thank you. All you have to do is say Chunky Monkey, and I will follow you anywhere

Well, what have you got for me? Well, I wanted to keep you neat and tidy with a beautiful outfit that you have on, so if I can help you with that

Well, the Fear No Ice men got white all over my outfit

Do you mind if I tie you up? Not at all, darling

You're darling. Come on up here. All right. Don't be scared. I'm not going to bite you

We've put together something that you might like, which is two Paula Deen flavors

You're kidding me. No, I'm not kidding you. You are kidding me

No, based on some of your recipes. Oh. Are you really going to, like, put this in a store

There's a possibility that that could happen. You're saying you're here to test out these flavors

What do we have to go through to do it? LAUGHTER Y'all, Nacho Mama's Banana Pudding Ice Cream

Double Chocolate Gooey Butter Cake Ice Cream. John, you're toying with me

You're toying with my emotions and my feelings. I know you are

Well, let's get started. Let's get started. All right, because we only have so much time

And I want to make sure we get all these ice creams. All right, now while you're doing that

I'm going to take the double chocolate gooey butter cake, and I'm going to be cutting it into chunks

And, y'all, this is working well using scissors to do this. And, John, now you've, what is that you've got

just a chocolate flavored ice cream? It's a chocolate ice cream that I've enhanced with cookie crumbs

I couldn't just make it chocolate ice cream. No, you couldn't. It wouldn't have been appropriate for your flavor

Oh, the double chocolate gooey butter cake, you know, just kicks butt

Yes, sir. Do you like those chunks? Those are perfect. Okay, good

Ooh, ooh, I missed one there. That it's not so... Here, I'll take that for you, darling

All right, you want me to dump some of this in? Sure, that would be your inclusion. Okey-doke

We have pecans. Pecans? Nuts, nuts, nuts, and more nuts. I love pecans

I should say so. So we'll fold that in. So you're just going to fold it in

Transfer it to our pastry bag. And then pipe the ice cream together with the hot fudge

Okay. Now, is this the way you do it at Ben and Jerry's

Are you back there in the back, feeling like the elves? This is how we produce every pint

I think he's fibbing. All right. And what we'll do is, if you keep your tip up

Keep tip up. Go right over the bowl. Water hole. There we go

Perfect. Perfect. Open line, Harvey

I'm sorry, John. We may have to make some more ice cream. We might

All right, here we go. A little bit of fudge. A little bit more ice cream

A little more fudge. Uh-huh. And a little more ice cream. Yes It pretty easy So you know what y You can make this at home Certainly can Can they So if you like to move over to it Tell me the next flavor The next flavor is inspired by your mama banana pudding

And, of course, we need a swirl, so we have a cream cheese swirl to go with this particular ice cream

You shut up and get out of here. Cream cheese in my ice cream

Yes. All right, John, this doesn't even need tempering. I'm going to move this mixer out of the way because it tempered itself while it was waiting on us to make that double chocolate

Would you like to add bananas? Absolutely. Are we going to leave them that chunky or do you want me to kind of squish them with my hands

You could squish them with your hands or you could dice them. Okay. Or you could squish them with your hands

Do you know how I mash bananas? I mash them when they're still in the skin

Just take my banana and go up and down with it. And what do you do with your marshmallows

Well, I toast them and eat them. What do you want me to do with them

Would you like to add those to your flavor? Yes. Okay. And what are we going to do

Crunch these? Graham crackers? Am I doing this to suit you, John Boy

You're doing a perfect job. Okay, why are we using graham crackers when we use Chasmin cookies in Nacho Mamas

If you don't have the Chasmin cookies, you can certainly substitute a graham crackers

All right, so we're going to... It's all in the fun. You don't need to be... Yeah, you know, that's the great thing about recipes

You don't have to follow them exact. You can make them your own. All right

So here we go. Okay. All right, here, I'll cut you. Be gentle

Okay, there you go. And would you like to put cream cheese, or would you like to have fun

Oh, my God, yes. Ready? Oh, my goodness. Y'all, look. Wow

Look. Oh, my goodness. I'm going to sit this back here. Y'all taste

Taste. Tell me what you think. Come on, John, let's toast. To Ben and Jerry's, may they long live with Paula Deen flavors

We'll see you back in a minute. Coming up, a recipe with an icy twist

I really wasn't ready for her. I was ready for you. Welcome back It all about fire and ice today I have had such a great time being with y today

Scott Rilla. Come on out, Scott. Come on out. Come on back here

Step into my kitchen, said the spider to the fly. Y'all are amazing

Thank you. We just wanted to give you a taste of what we do. In real life, we do big Vegas acts

and all kinds of fun shows. Well, y'all are great. Y are great Thank you Y were just perfect to present as a gift to Dorothy Yeah that was perfect

Because she may be the queen ice, honey, but y'all are the king ice. Thank you. Well, listen, I understand that you're going to show me how to make a wonderful ice recipe

Yes, we do. We have a frozen vinaigrette, and we're going to serve it over this salad

We made some ice plates for you just for fun. Oh, my goodness. Do you know how when you go into nice restaurants

they'll chill your plates for you for your salad? Isn't that nice? And we have an ice cube vinaigrette

Okay, I got you some ice cubes over here. Pop those right out of the tray. Okay

So you just throw these chunks on your salad. No, we don't do it that way

That would be a little much. So then what are we going to do? Take a bite and suck

Take a bite and suck? You are trouble. I can be

I can be. So we're just going to grate it with the cheese grater

Just grate it right over the salad, just like that. Any vinaigrette you like

Any vinaigrette. It throws it right into the ice cream tray. You can do a homemade or you can just use a bottle of vinaigrette, right

Yes. Any kind you like. And you shave that. Put it right in there

Toss it around. Just for fun. Clean and simple. And there's nothing better than a good cold salad

Yes. This is beautiful. Come on, we're going to bring these over to the table

Okay. Would you like to carry one? I would love to. Are we going to put this on the table
