center i'm gonna take this
3:24
so what we do is we put some on the
3:26
inside because oh my gosh

to be fancy with this
3:46
just tie it up just like that
3:49
all right now i'm going to get the pan
3:51
why don't we transfer this so we don't
3:53
lose a drop
3:54
of the rest of that marinade doesn't
3:58

4:08
all right so tell me do we need the salt
4:10

5:00
mixture of red and white table potatoes

5:50
full lined baking sheet that i'm going

7:21
we've all got a friend that you just sit
7:23

7:25
well this is that kind of friend she's
7:27
just precious
7:28
and we're making us up a picnic lunch
7:31
today
7:32

7:34
tenderloin she's gotten that in the oven
7:36
right now
7:37
i've got potatoes roasting for potato
7:39
salad and we're gonna make a blue cheese
7:41
dressing
7:42
to go on our potato salad this is a
7:45
little different twist from just
7:46
a southern potato salad so if you'd give
7:49
me a hand
7:50
don a baby i need three-fourths cup of
7:52
mayonnaise
7:53
so you can just measure that i'm gonna
7:56
add
7:57
a couple of tablespoons of sour cream
7:59
you don't want to put too much
8:01
because the sour cream could override
8:03
the mayonnaise and you want that
8:05
creamy egg yolkiness of the mayonnaise
8:08
do you really measure i hardly ever
8:17
all right and sometimes i miss measure
8:20
and like a whole stick of butter will
8:22
fall in a dish
8:24
all right a teaspoon and a half of um
8:28
horseradish oh it's so good i'm gonna
8:30
put in some black pepper
8:32
all right now i'm gonna put in a five
8:35
ounce package
8:36
of crumbled blue cheese there you go
8:39
okey-doke
8:41
so that's it so just stir that up
8:44
have you had fun being in the kitchen
8:45
with me today i am loving this
8:48
i love it all right let's taste
8:54
that's pretty good that's excellent so
8:57
we got that ready so
8:59
you know those onions that you were
9:00
caramelizing yes
9:02
we're gonna need to add and look at them
9:04
they're just cooking away
9:05
about a tablespoon of balsamic vinegar
9:09
i'll just mix that in and let it
9:11
continue to cook while we get started on
9:13
our fresh spinach and strawberry salad
9:16
i want you to start peeling that
9:18
cucumber okay i'm gonna measure out
9:23
about a third of a cup of slivered
9:26
almonds
9:27
that we're gonna roast in a pan and how
9:29
much cucumber would you like
9:31
i would like for you to seed and peel
9:33
okay
9:34
uh that whole cucumber please
9:38
so you've got your spinach leaves over
9:40
there i've got
9:41
about a quart of strawberries now i
9:44
didn't ask you i'm assuming you want me
9:45

9:49
know fairly
9:50
small okay and we're not gonna dress our
9:53
salad before we leave on our picnic
9:56
cause you know it would make our our
9:58
spinach go limp
9:59
and we don't want that you can cut these
10:02
strawberries down
10:03
any way you want to you can slice them
10:05
quarter em
10:07
half of them all right these are
10:08

10:11
[Music]
10:15
all right so i'm gonna just toss our
10:17
strawberries in there y'all
10:20

those little hot greens cinnamon candies
13:11
we're going to let them dissolve we're
13:12
going to let them dissolve
13:14
so low to medium heat we don't want the

14:04
through the apple
14:05
all right donna do you want me to cut
14:07

that's a cup of powdered sugar a little
18:51
bit vanilla extract
