Let's Party

Hey, y'all

Today on Paula's Party, I'm going to be showing you how to pull off the perfect party

Another one of those disillusioned men. I'm gambling that I can win over a bachelor party of boys

with my beer-in-the-rear chicken. Can't win this beer. An anniversary recipe that's going to just surround you with love

A paper-wrapped salmon. And we're baking the sweetest little birthday cakes, y'all, with a game that's sure to make you feel just like a kid again

Perfect! It's my kind of fun, y'all. So put on your dancing shoes, y'all, and let's party

Oh, y'all are so cute

Sit down, y'all. Y'all are just as bad a pretty audience as I've ever seen

So y'all doing all right today? Are y'all in a mood to party

Because today's show is all about parties. We're going to have a ball today

And I think the first party we're going to do is a bachelor party

Where am I going to find bachelors? Would it possibly be y'all

It might be us. It might be us. Or one of y'all getting married. I may be getting married

I don't know, Paula. I don't know. You know, I have two sons

And they love to go to Las Vegas. In fact, that's where Jamie threw his bachelor party

I want to take Vegas to you today. I could handle a little Las Vegas

Do you like to gamble? A little bit. I do, too. I'm one of those old ladies that you see sitting in there just pushing that button and getting all my thrills

Okay. We're going to have a ball today, and we're going to be starting off with beer and the rear chicken

Do y'all love it? Well, let's party! All right. Come on. Come on, guys

This is something else, y'all. a roulette wheel. Do y'all like to play roulette

Love roulette. All right, well, y'all get to playing. You know what

I need to know your name, tall boy. Brian. Brian. Brian Lambert

Well, you are just precious. Have you ever had beer in the rear chicken? I have seen it cooked before

I've never tried it. This dish is out of this world. It's as simple a flavor as you can get

What we're going to do is just season up that chicken inside and out

Our house seasoning is one cup of salt, a fourth of a cup of garlic powder, and a fourth of a cup of pepper

Brian, you might want to wash your hands, and then you're especially going to need to wash them when you get through handling this chicken

So what do you do for a living? I play right here in Savannah for the Savannah Sand Nats

You've got to be kidding. No. We love the Savannah sand gnats

I've heard you like coming to the games, bringing your boys. I've been to a game

For those of you that don't know, we have, you tell them what a sand gnats is

Sand gnats are kind of like mosquitoes, but more annoying, if that's possible

It's a baseball team. All right, now I want you, Brian, to take this chicken and season it good inside and out. Okay

And don't be frightened. Should I rub the chicken like that? Yes, rub your meat, baby

You rub it. All right. I'm not sitting inside, though. And you know, he does have a backside

I never rub my own backside, though. You don't? Boy, Heidi, you got the seasoning

Ah! You got the seasoning. It smells good. I figure it's going to taste good once you get it on there

You don't want it too salty. I'm going to help you, okay? Okay. I'm going to try to rub some of that seasoning off

All right. Now, pop the beer. And we're going to pour maybe a fourth of a cup off

Or you can drink it. What are we going to do with the fourth of a cup? You can drink it and you can do whatever you want

You can't waste beer. Is that a fourth of a cup? I might have had too much

Who's ever drinking just a fourth of a cup of beer before? Baby, you got hollow legs

All right. Now put this stem of fresh rosemary down in there

Okay. You are going to be blown away by what that little piece of rosemary does to that chicken

Does it matter which type of beer you use? Nah. I'd say just use the cheap kind

All right. Now we're going to stick him on that beer can

So what I want you to do now is take this out to the grill, and we're going to let him cook for an hour, hour and 15 minutes

Depending on your fire, it might even take an hour and 30 minutes. All right

All right, but wash your hands. You want to? Oh, you put your chickeny hands on

Do you cook a lot, Brian? I try. That's why I'm getting married, Paula

Is she a good cook? She is a pretty good cook. Way to go

Is she pretty? She is very pretty. She's right over there. Where is she? Oh, my goodness

You're a lucky man. Okay, Brian. Take him to the grill, baby

All right. Oh, no

He knocked it over. I was hoping you wouldn't see me far

Let me go fix him up and we'll be right back, y'all

When we come back, a bachelor tickles my ribs. You remind me of that song that I love

I love a man with a slow hand. And later, a birthday party jambalaya

Welcome back, welcome back. In case you just tuned in I got the cutest guy out there at the grill His name is Brian and I got him cooking beer and the rear chicken And through

the magic of television, it ought to be done. Let me see

Brian! Lift! He's ready! Bring him in! This is

Brian's bachelor party, y'all, so he may be a little nervous, but

here he comes. Oh

Oh, I got it. Oh, he looked like he was going to go. Sit it right here, Brian. Alright, now I'm going to hold the beer can

because you want to be very careful at this point because that

beer is bubbling, balling hot. So you don't want to burn yourself

So I'm going to hold your can, and you lift the chicken off and put him on the cutting board

Yeah, the cutting board's clean. We washed it. Oh. Look at that

Listen, you're just going to love it. I'm so glad that you've never had it before

Going to get you a little piece to taste. Look, my favorite bite is to bite right there

Oh, look at the juice running out. Bite right there. Bite right there. That's like the tenderloin of the leg

That is good. Isn't it yummy? That is very good. Very simple flavors, but so satisfying

I'm going to finish this. You finish it. You finish it. But you know what

Don't you think it's time for us to play some cards? Okay. Why don't you and I go over to the table and play some cards

Oh, no, you can take your leg. I'll take your rag with you. All right

For our next dish, you know, we got to have a sauce. Hey, darling

How you doing? Do you know how to cook? A little bit. Okay, good

Get up there and make our sauce for us. All right. What's your name besides handsome

Don. Don. Well, Don. Don't make that sauce. I got some cards to play

There's all your ingredients. If you need some help, holler. All right, guys

Look, just mix all those ingredients together to make our sauce. All right, you got some steak sauce

you got some bourbon, you got some brown sugar, you got some red pepper flakes

You got some Worcestershire, just dump it all together and then put a little salt in it. Okay

Already. Okay. Get busy. All right, what are we playing now? Well, let's play blackjack

Okay. Come on, honey. Pretend like you're trying to win a ball game

Put your finger through the loop on that one. There you go. Pick it up

There you go. Perfect. All right. What is this? That's Dijon mustard

All right. Find you a spoon, honey. All right. So I stir this all up now? Huh

Stir it all up? Yes. All righty. You're so brilliant. You know, I wouldn't throw him out of my kitchen, even if he can't cook

He's so cute. All right, now, y'all, I think he needs help, so..

All right, how you coming, baby? I stirred it up. So you're the pitcher

I am. All right. Let's put all this stuff down here. Did you put your thing in there

Oh, I forgot that one. Oh, you did? Okay. You did well

All right, now we've got some ribs here, and we just need to season them up a little bit

Let's get our house seasoning out. Do y'all love baby backs? I do too

Now what we're going to do, Dawn, is we're going to just brush these

Can you do this? I could try. All right, brush them because we don't have all day now. Already

You remind me of that song that I love. I love a man with a slow hand

I'm telling you what, that's the slowest man in town. All right, now get that side

Perfect. All right, now what I want you to do, I want you to put that tinfoil on that casserole

All right. All right, now let's get him in the oven, and I've got a wonderful surprise for you

Look, there's one ready. Oh, yeah. All right, you want to take him out. Now, he's hot, so be careful

All right. Take him out. So put the other one in? All right, now put that, yeah. All right

And we're going to cook this, y'all, at 350 for about an hour. Because what you're going to do now is put these on our grill

All right, there's you some tongs. You can turn them, and I'm going to just dribble a little bit more sauce on them

and you flip them on, and we're just going to kind of seal that. Look at them

See, they've already got the wonderful grill marks on them. Oh, yeah. That smells good

Doesn't it, Tom? Oh, yeah. Thank you. Oh, that's delicious

Is it good? I'm so glad you like it. We'll be back in a minute

We're just on. Coming up, y'all, it's going to be a mouth-watering jambalaya

And later, unforgettable birthday cakes. I'm having so much fun partying with y'all today

It's just all about parties. Let me tell y'all what I started doing probably about six or seven years ago

I decided that I was going to have monthly birthday parties. So if you had a birthday in March, we celebrated all the birthdays on a particular Sunday night for the month of March

And I decided that we were going to include games in our birthday celebrations

So, you know, I got to thinking, well, what kind of game could I play here today

So we're going to switch this game up a little. instead of a three-legged race

we're going to have a two-arm cook-off. Get your cute little self up here

Come up here with me. Yeah, you. What is your name Do you know how to cook Kind of Well that good enough for me Because this dish is so simple

Now, let me tell you what we're going to do, Kelly. Jamie's back here micing you

He's not trying to do anything to you. All right, are you right-handed or left-handed

I'm right-handed. So am I. I really think I ought to be on your other side, but here we go

We are going to make jambalaya. You know you got a diamond growing out of your nose

Look here. Wait, I want to show them. How do you grow diamonds

I want to learn. I'd be growing them suckers everywhere. All right, come on over here

All right, now this dish is so easy to make, so why don't we make it even more challenging

Let's try to finish it up in two minutes. We've got rice

We've got some minced dried onion. No! Look, see this bowl right here

All right. Some folks just look pretty. They ain't got to cook

All right, we're going to put everything in this bowl. All right, I got it

See now, you got it now. Okay. All right. We've got some dried parsley

Let's come back over here. We've got some black pepper in the bowl

Okay. We've got thyme. And we've got some garlic powder. I'm not left-handed

Here, taste. What is it? I don't know. Is it hot? Yeah

That would be cayenne pepper. All right, now let's come back over here and see what you got

All right, you've got house seasoning. All right, and you got a bay leaf

There you go. All right, now we're just going to put all of our dry ingredients in our pot

and you get the water, but don't burn yourself. You're not supposed to use that hand

That's not legal. It was heavy. Perfect. All right, now we got some sausage

Don't spread it on our clothes. All right. Now we've got a can of diced tomatoes

I've already learned your way, girl. All right. Now we've got a cup of tomato sauce

All right. Hold it and let me scoop it out. All right

Now you've got a wooden spoon. All right. We did it, y'all

Looks good to me. All right. Now, all we're going to do, Kelly, is put the lid on this

and we're going to let it cook for about 20 minutes. Now, you can't get any simpler than that, can you

And this is what it looks like after 20 minutes. So we're going to add our shrimp to this pot

and we're going to cook that for about five minutes. and we come over here

and we have the finished product with the shrimp already in it

Doesn't that look good? It looks delicious. Uh-huh. So I'm going to dip you up some

You hold with that hand. I'm going to dip with this one

All right, Kelly, look at that. We have proven today that this dish is so easy to make

you can do it with one hand tied behind your back. Haven't we

Yeah. All right, I'm going to get me a little bit. I was going to toast you

Oh, I'm sorry. I can do it again. Okay. To Kelly. To me

The one-arm cook. We'll be back in a minute with more accordions

And up next, look how pretty. A unique birthday cake. And later, an anniversary salmon all wrapped up in love

I don't know when I've had such a good time

Just talking and standing up here thinking about the parties I've been to

and the parties I've thrown is so much fun. And y'all are just full of energy and you all look like you might have a little party animal in you

So y'all are just perfect for y'all that's just tuned in out there

We're incorporating games into our birthday celebration. All right. We have kind of done a twist on pin the tail on the donkey

Because after all, we're trying to cook and get ready for our party

There's three of y'all out there that have some ingredients to help me make the next dish

Y'all ready to help me? We're going to be making ice cream cone cakes

Now, even adults love these, but if you've got children around, you know, they don't always like just a regular cake, but they adore

They adore these cake ice cream cones. All right, so I have the cake mix, and because these are going to mainly children

I'm not going to worry about making a wonderful homemade cake. I'm going to use a box mix

So what we're going to do is we're going to blindfold you three

and you're going to pin the ingredient on the bowl instead of a donkey

All right, now, y'all, I've got the cake mix. I've got a half a cup of water

But somebody has got two eggs out there for me. All right, now, you can't just come up here, honey

You have to spin. Spin? Yes, you have to spin. Now bring me the eggs, please

You're getting hot. Ah, ah, ah. No feeling. Stop. Turn and face me

And go back a step. No, no, I'm sorry. Go to your left side

Okay, now walk forward. All right now reach out about a foot Move to your right about six inches Oh I sorry your left Alright come forward about four more inches

Now dump. Perfect! Yeah, you can take it off to get back to your table. That was perfect

Spin, spin, spin. My next ingredient that I'm going to need is vanilla

Spend one more time and then start walking towards me. Because I really, I can't do

without that vanilla. Alright, walk towards me. Stick that hand out about

a foot. Is that a foot? No, that ain't a foot. Yes

Alright, now dump. Is that a foot? The last one is all

So spin, baby, spin. Okay, head this way. Where are you going, baby

All right, come back to your left about a foot. All right, reach your arms out about a foot

Oh, he thinks two inches is a foot too. Another one of those disillusioned men

Bring it to me about six inches. Six inches. Dump. Thank y'all

Y'all were so cute. All right, so I'm going to beat this up

And you normally beat a cake mix for about two minutes. All right, now, because our batter's a little thick

and our openings to our cone are kind of small, I'm going to use like a butter scoop or a small ice cream scoop

And I'm just going to dip that out, and I'm going to fill them about halfway up

Now, I want to show y'all a little thing that you can do for your muffin tins

I like to take a piece of tinfoil and just nestle it in there

And that way, see it won't rock where the other one will rock and turn

But that tinfoil will secure that cup so it won't spill on you

So we're going to put these in the oven, in a preheated oven, at 350 degrees

We're going to bake them for about 20 minutes. And after they come out of the oven, we're going to let them cool

And then we're going to frost them. Now, who wants to help me frost

You do. Come on up here, honey, and help me frost our birthday cakes

So, what's your name? Lori. I'm so glad to meet you. I'm so glad to meet you, too

You have beautiful blue eyes. Thank you. Now, this is frosting, and all we're going to do is pipe it

And I like to pipe it because you can get it up real high where it looks like one of those ice cream cones that you get from the ice cream stores

That is beautiful. That is beautiful. Doesn't that look just like an ice cream cone

I'm just going to do one with... I like lots of frosting

So I'm just going to take it to the edge. Going to take it to the limit

All right. Now you can... Yours was actually prettier than mine. Yeah, but that's okay

See if you can fix mine. Okay, I think I can. All right. And then we're going to just take sprinkles

and perfect. We're going to take sprinkles. Now, you know you can get all kind of flavors

in all these little sprinkles. You can get them just in chocolate

Go ahead and sprinkle? Yeah, let's just sprinkle some of them. How cute is that

You want to go ahead and frost that one? We'll let you do that since you're so good at it

Look how pretty. All right, now sprinkle this one. and we're just going to pop a birthday candle

down in there, and it's a perfect birthday cake, isn't it? It is

And we've got a surprise for y'all. Guess what? We've got an ice cream cone cake for everybody

Stay tuned. We'll be right back. Up next, y'all

I'm going to be fixing a paper-wrapped salmon. And later, an anniversary worth celebrating

Today's been so much fun. We've just gone from one celebration to the next, hadn't we

Well, it's not going to be complete until we celebrate this next thing

What do y'all think that is? An anniversary. That's exactly right. We've got to have an anniversary party

And there is a couple here that's celebrating their first anniversary. Is that right

Joey and Brooke? Yes. Y'all get up here. Get up here over at your..

Y'all stay right there at your station. And because it is your first anniversary, Brooke

do you know what the appropriate gift is? I think it's paper

Sorry, but after one year, you just get paper. No diamonds. You've got to wait for some bling, honey

You've got to stick around. And because paper represents the first anniversary

I'm going to make y'all a dish that's cooked in paper. Do you like salmon

Oh, it's my favorite. Is it your favorite fish? Well, that's what we're going to make

And I've even got help from the audience today. They're going to be out there helping us thinly slice vegetables to go on top of our fish

While they're working on that, I want y'all to slice those leeks very, very thinly

And while you're doing that, I'm going to be julienning a red bell pepper

Oh, okay. So y'all want to get started. All right, where's my choppers? You've got the shrooms

Are my choppers out there? Okay, I see one chopper. Do I have another chopper? Okay

there's another chopper over there. Yes, and you slice the mushrooms. Yes. Okay, we got

yellow squash. We got zucchini. We got mushrooms. We got leek, and we got bell pepper. Now

I'm going to julienne my bell pepper, y'all, and the way... I had to cut it. It looks like I've got a lot of waste here. I would never ever waste this much

bell pepper. I have popped many a hand at the restaurant because I'd find this much bell pepper

in the trash can and I'd come back and I'd say, oh no, no, no. You pop that stem out and you use

every piece of that expensive bell pepper. So you just want to throw this in a bag and save it for

something else. I usually throw that away. You throw it away. I usually do. I usually top up. No, you, listen, you have to, you have, it's your job to save money so he can buy you diamonds. That's right. So you don't have anything going in the trash that could possibly fill up his belly. All right. Now, Julianne just means very, very thinly, thinly sliced. And this one's got a lot of meat on it. So I'm going to cut that

kind of fat meat out of it. These knives are a lot sharper than the ones at home

Yeah, and you know what? She doesn't ever use knives at home, so... Well, that could be a good thing, Joey

I know. She can't kill me. He's a very good cook, but I like to cook too. Is he? Yes, he's very good

Well, you know what? A dull knife is much more dangerous than a sharp knife

Did you know that? Because you have to bear down so hard

That's true. You know, with a dull knife, and it makes it so easy for you to slip

All right, now see, I've got these coming along pretty good. They're starting to really look like a matchstick

Mushrooms are great. See how they look like matchsticks? And those are just going to be so pretty on top of our salmon

Yes, they are. All right, girls, how are y'all coming out there with the squash and the squash

Y'all coming good? All right, well, how about bringing it up here to me

Thank you, girls. You know, when I have parties at the house

I kind of like to involve everybody, especially those that enjoy cooking

Perfect. So nice and thin. All right, now y'all bring me your mushrooms

Okay. And your leek, and you got your fish. Do you like all these vegetables, Brooke

Yes. Okay, nothing in here that y'all want to eat? Oh, no

You're not a picky eater, are you, Joey? Not at all. Good. I can't stand a picky eater

I can't either. So, we're just going to mix these together. Look how beautiful all those vegetables look

Y'all take your fish, season it. Okay. With a little salt and pepper

Should we put it on this bowl first? No. Just take your piece of heart parchment paper Okay And we going to spray the back side of our paper so it won stick to our cookie sheet just like that And where it folded in the center you

going to want to place all your ingredients on just half of that, okay? All right, so

I'm going to take a little salt, a little pepper. What y'all doing? What y'all hit

Oh, she's taking her time. All right, place your fish right there

We're going to place some black beans. Do you see your black beans

Uh-huh. Yeah. Okay. All right, now sprinkle your beans. And up here I have you some herb butter

Now cut you a generous little piece of that. I think I'm going to cut mine in two

I don't have any of that. I do. Oh, sorry, I had y'all's butter

All right, now we're going to take our vegetables. that everybody has sliced

and we're going to just kind of pile the veggies on top of our fish

Now we're going to sprinkle it with a little wine. I'm going to come get some vegetables from you

Oh, I'm sorry. I took all your vegetables. All right, we're going to take our wine

and we're just going to sprinkle it with a little wine, and then we're going to top it with a little soy sauce

Do you all have soy sauce? Yes, ma'am. Okay, maybe a few tablespoons

Now, how good does that look? It's awesome. So it sounds like y'all have everything in there

Let me look. Thanks, sir. Come check us out. It's beautiful. Maybe a little skimpy on the butter

Oh, well, he did that. So, you know, I'm all about the butter. Listen, what was the first thing I told y'all

You like butter? No, I told you that, too. But what was the first thing I told you, Joey

I don't know. She's the girl. to build your dish on the right hand side of the paper

See, because we're going to fold that. When we come back, y'all, we're going to fold it. We're going to play a little game

So we'll see you back in a minute. See, you've got to put it to the side

so you can bring that over. That's all right. That's all right

Next, a romantic celebration with paper wrapped salmon. Welcome back, y'all

I'm here with Brooke and Joey. It's their first anniversary. First anniversary symbols paper

So we're cooking them a nice salmon that's rolled up in parchment paper

All right, so y'all have got all your ingredients in there now, right? You've got your vegetables, your black beans, your soy sauce, your wine, your herb butter

So what you say let roll up our fish We got yours moved to the side now so we can do that can we Joey Yes ma Just like this Did you spray your paper Yes we did Okay Now take it and try to keep it in the shape of the heart

Start at the little pointy end and just kind of wrap it up and then just keep bringing it along

Now we're going to bake this in a 350-degree oven, y'all, for about 20 minutes. Okay

Because, you know, fish doesn't take long, and you don't want to overcook it because it's just not the same

Does it still need to be pink in the middle when it's spinning? Well, you know, it depends on how you like salmon

Some people like it towards a medium. So that's strictly up to you, Brooke

Okay. All right. Is y'all's coming along better than mine? Yeah, we're good

I about stuffed mine so full of stuff. Okay, but I think I got it sealed up

So we're going to put this in the oven. Okay. And we've really got everything we need in this dish

except maybe a nice yeast roll. Yes. And your meal is complete

So I've got one that's ready here, and I want you all to taste it

Come on over. Ooh, it smells wonderful. Doesn't it smell good? Yeah, I love salmon

All right, here's us some forks. Ooh, wow. We used to serve this at the Lady and Sons a lot

Different kind of fishes. Get our, like, little ice cube camera, Joey, and let everybody get a good look at that

Oh, that looks awesome. Doesn't that look out of this world? Yes, it smells wonderful

Mmm. I'm ready to eat that. I'm swallowing hard. All right, let's dig in

Okay. All right, you first, Brooke. Okay. I'm going to get one right there with all the butter

All right, now listen. I want you to take this back over to your side. Okay

And y continue to eat Here Joey take your fork Wait we do that Thank you ma Because we not finished yet Joey it your first anniversary party

and Brooke and I want to give you a little test. So, Joey

if your wife was a food, what would she be? Piece of corn

How long? there's good reason. A piece of corn. Because a real piece of corn still in the shuck

has silky hair, silky blonde hair. Okay. And it's good whether it's cooked

roasted, boiled, however, anyway. Well, you know, I was about to get mad with you

but you've almost convinced me that's a good answer. But what did you say, Brooke

Chocolate covered strawberries. Baa! All right, you get another shot at this

You took your wife to the movies and then out to eat. Afterwards, on your first date, what did Brooke eat

Ice cream at Swenson's. What's ice cream? Show us cookies and cream ice cream cone

You're right! So you redeemed yourself. But you know what? You've got me convinced that that corn's not a bad thing to be

See? Well, listen, you two. Now, we can't have an anniversary party or celebration without some dancing

Oh, I love to dance. Oh, you do? Oh, yes. Well, I've got a surprise for you

I've got a couple of people here that are going to dance for us

Their names are David and Hillary. Where are y'all guys? Oh, aren't that great

Can you do that, Joey? Well, I'm not convinced. I can't either

Oh, you know I want to try, don't you? All right, let's go to the shop. Come on over. Y'all want to try

See, we two-step. You two-step. Well, do whatever you want to do, and I'm going to go away with David wherever he leads me

All right, are you ready? I'm going to try to. Okay. Are you two ready

Uh-huh. Ready when you are. I just want to tell y'all, I've had so much fun with you today

It's been a wonderful, wonderful day for me. Y'all have a great time

Best dishes at your next party, and we'll see you later. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you
