0:37
for our fresh fruit salad
0:39
yum oh it's good
0:42
wow that's great do you know how much i
0:44
like fish oh i know
0:46
you're you're a fish nut which is good
0:48
but lately i'm enjoying pilafs and
0:50
mushroom rices and things like that so
0:53
kind of predictable but since i'm here
0:54
with you today i wanted to do some fish
0:56
okay
0:56
and some rice i'm with you so we're
0:59
gonna start with an
1:00
almond rice pilaf they say that we
1:02
should eat fish at least three times a
1:04
week y'all
1:05
and uh of course fish is so plentiful
1:08
here in savannah
1:09
so i am totally on with that yeah and
1:12
i like easy white fishes like tilapia
1:15
and mahi and things like that that's why
1:16
are you sure you came from my loneliness
1:18
i did come from yo loins
1:20
so tell me tell me how to get started
1:22
here what you want me to do a couple of
1:24
tablespoons of butter please okay
1:25
into that pot once you get that butter
1:27
melted we get the onions in and get it
1:29
all kind of married together we're gonna
1:30
put in the uh
1:31
the almonds i've just about got the
1:33
onion ready to go in there
1:34
that sounds great i've got the butter
1:36
melting so then we're gonna just put the
1:38
onions in here with the butter that's it
1:40
we're gonna get them together
1:41
and get those flavors going and that's
1:43
one of my favorite things is the smell
1:45
of an onion
1:46
don't you don't you don't you i do that
1:48
butter's melted
1:50
onions do you think i should use all
1:51
these yes yes yes you can't have too
1:53
much onions
1:54
i agree
1:55
[Music]
1:58
so then they go i like you son i love
2:01
that
2:02
it's one of my favorites and we're gonna
2:03
add about a third a cup of almonds okay
2:05
and just kind of brown them in there
2:07
with the onions you know for a minute
2:09
and we're using slivered almonds and i
2:12
just
2:12
love the slivered versus
2:15
the slice i do too it's gonna be a third
2:17
of a cup of almonds
2:19
then one cup of long grain white rice
2:21
add two cups of chicken broth
2:23
what i've heard you say to other people
2:24
and what you've taught me is go buy the
2:26
recipe the first time you make something
2:27
but then after that do whatever you want
2:29
to so i like to i like to experiment
2:31
there you go you know try anything
2:33
because you told me that if it's not
2:34
good then you can just give it to the
2:35
dog
2:36
that's exactly right and you don't have
2:38
a dog i don't have a dog
2:40
so it's perfect so everything's
2:41
delicious everything's delicious i've
2:43
never made a bad meal it's perfect you
2:45
all should come up and eat
2:46
that's great let's make some fish so
2:49
we're going to turn that down
2:50
on low and it's going to take
2:54
15 to 20 minutes and we're going to have
2:57
a nice pot of rice
2:59
and there's some beautiful tilapia here
3:00
to go with that
3:03
let's see i love tilapia um it's a nice
3:06
mild white fish it kind of reminds me a
3:09
little bit of flounder
3:11
and this is farm-raised fish some fishes
3:15
uh will flake and break apart on you but
3:18
tilapia won't
3:20
and it's just one of my favorite fishes
3:22
i think it's one of the easiest to cook
3:24
so we've got some tilapia we've got four
3:27
uh fillets here
3:28
six to eight ounce plates and these
3:30
things um you can see
3:32
how they're they're strong they're fr
3:34
they're real firm
3:35
it can take a lot of a beat yes well
3:38
that's your piece
3:40
put that on a different plate
3:43
all right you want me to season i'm
3:44
kidding seriously you're kidding but
3:46
seriously yeah i do want to season it up
3:48
now i'm going to add a little salt to
3:50
both sides of the fish y'all
3:52
if you don't put enough salt on fish
3:54
it's very bland
3:56
and um or fishy which is you know ironic
3:59
yeah some people like fishy fish
4:02
you like your fish to taste like chicken
4:04
exactly
4:07
fried chicken i'm
4:10
zesting a lime over here because today
4:11
we're going to use it i'm probably going
4:12
to squeeze a little bit of juice on it
4:13
but we're going to use
4:14
zest as well so if you want to start
4:16
grabbing any of this and put it on there
4:18
feel free
4:19
to keep getting a little bit coming
4:22
doesn't that green look
4:23
pretty it does it's beautiful pretty on
4:25
that fish now how are we going to cook
4:27
this
4:27
we're going to make it do you know what
4:29
i would prefer to cook this on
4:31
if you have no problems with it uh my
4:34
piece of cast iron
4:35
okay that would be great now i'm going
4:36
to add some cooking spray so that the
4:39
fish won't stick when it starts to cook
4:41
that weighs six eight pounds yeah it's
4:43
really stunning you know it'll be around
4:45
it'll be around longer than you and me
4:47
oh when we're long gone
4:49
so all right well i like it i like that
4:50
idea instead of bacon in it
4:54
now you could do this fish a few
4:55
different ways though you could do it on
4:56
the on the grill if you had a grill
4:58
basket that holds fish and scallops and
5:00
shrimp and things like that um you could
5:02
just do it in a pan that's how i do it
5:04
oftentimes at my house
5:06
bobby adds a little bit more lime zest
5:08
and i top it off with some fresh lime
5:10
juice and just a wee bit of cracked
5:12
black pepper
5:14
and i think it's ready to go in the oven
5:16
you want to use some butter
5:17
yes let's let's use a little bit of
5:19
butter
5:20
that fish is good just like it is but
5:22
we'll put a pat on each piece okay that
5:24
sounds good
5:26
buttery fish yeah
5:29
perfect yum
5:34
i love it and there's yours
5:38
[Laughter]
5:40
i love it so good i'm playing all right
5:43
we're going to
5:44
well i've used the butter though right
5:46
now we got to do something with it i
5:47
can't i'm getting it i'm getting it
5:49
the uh this fish is gonna bake at 375
5:53
for like eight to twelve minutes
5:54
pretty easy yeah can you get the oven
5:57
yes
5:58
here you go
5:59

6:52
peeling off some
6:53

7:26
garlic over here
7:27

7:28
whenever you get done no son but
7:30
i mean look how easy you're right i'm
7:32
kidding i'm i'm being smart
7:34
very consistent the way it's set though
7:37
this is set
7:38
a little on the thick side right
7:41
and i think that what we need to do son
7:44
is is set this where it's
7:48
thinner because i really want these
7:51
as thin as a ribbon
7:55
i'm gonna see if i can take it a little
7:58
bit thinner look
8:01
this is perfect i just don't have a man
8:04
one mama that's what it is i don't have
8:05
one
8:06
well you know what that's all right guys
8:09
you know speaking of drums for christmas
8:13
when you were a little boy you got a
8:14
drum set and i've got a picture son
8:17
of you in your pajamas playing the drum
8:20
playing the drums
8:21
and you did finally get you a nice set
8:24
of drums yeah i did
8:26
i never i never got real real good but i
8:28
got me a nice set
8:29
i saw you play in the drums before i
8:32
play a little bit
8:32
all right now look at these aren't these
8:35
nice
8:36
those are really are now i'm gonna peel
8:39
our carrot
8:40
like i said you can use any kind of
8:43
vegetable
8:44
that you want these are these are great
8:46
vegetables with fish though if i'm
8:48
eating fish i'd love to have zucchini
8:49
and squash
8:50
yes those are great all right so let's
8:54
see what i can do with this carrot
8:56
see if i can make carrot ribbons
9:00
got the garlic just about ready to go
9:01
i'm gonna go ahead and get this sauteing
9:02
with some butter
9:03
for your veggies okay okey-dokey you
9:05
know what i don't need a bunch of
9:08
carrots
9:09
just just enough to give it some color
9:13
so how's that do you like that beautiful
9:14
that's perfect just enough
9:16
all right here comes the garlic and i'm
9:18
gonna saute it in two tablespoons of
9:21
butter
9:22
let's put our carrots in first you want
9:24
to
9:25
because i think those will take a little
9:27
longer so like a medium heat
9:29
yeah i'm gonna chop some parsley for the
9:31
rice oh okay
9:36
all right bobby i think i'm gonna go
9:37
ahead and
9:39
toss in our squash and zucchini all
9:43
right
9:44
[Music]
9:46
oh looks good good good yes

9:57
any particular seasonings you want me to
10:00
put in this little bit of salt and
10:01
pepper that's it i'm gonna put in a
10:02
little bit more butter
10:04
and a dash of pepper i've chopped up a
10:07
little fresh parsley and add that in
10:09
which you know just
10:10

10:13
think if we add a little butter to that

10:18
mommy's arm
10:19

10:36
bobby
10:36

10:39
lime flavor that bobby's got going on
10:42
and we're gonna bring it all the way
10:44
through to our vegetables
10:46
it just it doesn't hurt anything yeah no
10:48

10:50
[Music]

for color
11:05

11:07
food
11:08
with our eyes y'all she's been telling
11:11
me that forever that's
11:12
that's one of the most important things
11:14
in my opinion we pay a lot of
11:16
attention to detail because of that and
11:18
that is
11:19
if there's one uh phrase that i've
11:22
passed down to the people you eat with
11:24
your eyes first so
11:25
food's got to look good and the rest
11:28
takes care of itself
11:29
that looks great son how about tossing
11:32
that
11:32
over here in your veggies
11:34
[Music]
11:36
and once that's in i'm gonna add some
11:38
cracked
11:39
black pepper is this okay can i go ahead
11:41
and pull the fish out
11:42

12:23
seasoned
12:24
perfectly and you all saw that i put a
12:28
lot of lime on there
12:30
bobby i used a lot of lime and i used a
12:32
lot of lime zest
12:34
but it's not overpowering in any way
12:37
it's out of this world
12:38
and doing it on the skillet made it even
12:40
better
12:42
[Music]
12:45
out of this bowl i don't know
12:50
coming up next is a fresh fruit salad
12:53
with the easiest topping ever

oh and today is all about the
18:15
thing johnny and sharing some things yes
18:19
and what are you fixing to share with us
18:21
now real simple little lemon
18:22
lime it's a lemonade basically and this
18:24
recipe calls for
18:26
a third of a cup of fresh mint leaves
18:29
and you are using the juice from three
18:32
limes
18:33
[Music]
18:36
the juice of four lemons
18:42
all right so we're going to muddle the
18:45
sugar
18:46
and the mint first is that correct
18:48
that's right now how much sugar
18:50
so a quarter cup of sugar let's toss in
18:52
the mint and
18:53
we're breaking up those mint leaves so
18:56
that that mint flavor will just explode
18:59
throughout our lemon limeade
19:02
all right so son if you will
19:06
now remember this is the juice of three
19:08
limes and four
19:10
lemons and now we're going to add
19:13
the rest of our sugar three quarters of
19:15
a cup it's actually a half
19:17
because we muddled our mint with a
19:20
fourth of a cup already
19:22
stir this and let that dissolve
19:25
into that juice so eight cups of cold
19:28
water y'all
19:30
[Music]
19:32
and i'm gonna keep stirring so that
19:34
sugar will dissolve
19:36
i'm gonna cut us a little slice of lemon
19:42
and i'm gonna reach in here and get us a
19:45
another piece of mint to go on top
19:52
perfect
19:55
and here we go this is going to be
19:59
