We starting filming late today
0:04
because by the time you see this, it will have been passed
0:09
but today is the first anniversary
0:12
of Jamie Deen's Chicken Box.
0:15
Eddie and I went down there and I took Jamie a cupcake
0:19
and sang happy birthday to in the Chicken Box
0:23
and I brought me a plate home
0:24
and I'm telling y'all, that food is so good.
0:30
But anyway, I was just standing up here
0:34
thinking about things that I feel like my memory's real bad
0:38
and Theresa just said, "your memory's not bad."
0:40
Well, it remembers stupid stuff,
0:43
stuff that's not life altering.
0:45
- [Theresa] Like this recipe- - Like this recipe, yes,
0:48
and where it came from.
0:50
My neighbor gave it to me in 1974.
0:58
Yeah, because she had the male name
1:00
and he had the woman's name
1:04
but I can't remember what his name was.
1:10
But it was Marion, sweet little redheaded woman,
1:13
gave me this recipe in 1974.
1:17
She brought me the pie over and I thought it was so, so good
1:24
so she shared the recipe with me
1:26
and not only is it good, y'all, it's easy
1:29
and you can make this year round.
1:32
I've been doing a lot of things with blueberries
1:36
just in the last week or so.
1:38
So I'm just gonna put this down into my pie plate.
1:47
And I like using the refrigerated
1:49
'cause I can use my own dishes
1:53
and it looks like it's like homemade and I kinda like that
2:01
'cause even though those tin pan ones, they're delicious,
2:05
but they sure do give you away.
2:09
They scream I'm frozen
2:11
and you don't have to do anything fancy with this.
2:15
If you wanna take the time to roll your dough out thinner
2:20
so you'll have some to overlap and turn under,
2:25
you can do that but I am so not worried about this thing
2:29
looking like a magazine picture.
2:31
- [Theresa] That goes, we're gonna put that in the oven.
2:34
- Yes, no, we're gonna "roll out the pie crust
2:38
pressing into the bottom and up the sides,
2:40
fold edges under and crimp lightly.
2:43
Press nuts into the bottom of the prepared crust."
2:46
- [Theresa] Look at you.
2:48
She read directions and I did not.
2:50
- She thought I didn't remember that.
2:54
And to me, I told Marion, I said,
2:57
the nuts, the nuts just make this pie.
3:02
So you just wanna press 'em down into your pie crust
3:12
and I don't even think you need to use pie weights with this
3:20
'cause those nuts are gonna I think hold that down.
3:23
So in the oven it goes off about eight minutes, 350.
3:28
Okay, so y'all, our pie crust is in the oven.
3:33
I'm gonna make our filling now which is so simple.
3:36
It's like three ounces of cream cheese.
3:42
I didn't know that they quit making
3:43
three ounce packages of cream cheese.
3:45
I didn't know that 'cause I always buy eight anyway,
3:50
so I'm gonna add our powdered sugar to our cream cheese.
3:58
Okay, so we're just gonna beat this until it's incorporated
4:03
and when our pie crust comes out,
4:05
we're gonna have to let it cool
4:07
because the cream cheese filling
4:10
goes directly onto the crust
4:14
so we'll have to let it cool for a minute
4:15
but this will be ready, this will be ready
4:19
and waiting on that pie.
4:21
Our pie crust is out of the oven.
4:29
Look who came in just in time to help me with this pie.
4:34
Our grandson Henry, Henry Reed.
4:38
Henry was sick a couple of weeks ago
4:40
but you're better now, aren't ya?
4:42
- He's got a baseball game tonight
4:44
and you're gonna start out pitching?
4:45
- Yes, ma'am. - That's my boy.
4:48
All right, you wanna do something for your old grandma?
4:52
- Okay, I would like for you to fold our cream cheese.
4:56
Remember we beat our cream cheese
5:03
with a little bit of sugar.
5:07
and when I say fold, Henry? - Yes ma'am.
5:11
- You fold, you kinda fold.
5:18
So we're just gonna spread this evenly
5:22
over that layer of crust and nuts.
5:27
- [Henry] Batter's good. - [Paula] Isn't that good?
5:31
Okay, there you go. - [Henry] I love cream cheese.
5:35
- [Henry] Best thing in the world.
5:37
- Yes, it is, I've got to clean this off a little bit.
5:42
And now, even though it's blueberry season,
5:45
I'm gonna take advantage of the blueberry pie filling
5:53
and we're just gonna put this on top.
6:14
This looks delicious, doesn't it?
6:18
Henry, I don't think we even gonna have to wash that bowl.
6:23
You licked that thing clean.
6:41
That crust is so crusty.
6:44
- [Henry] That's the best part.
6:45
- Uh huh with those nuts on top.
6:49
I probably should have put this in the refrigerator, y'all
6:52
and let it get hard again or firm.
6:59
Not gonna get hard but just firm.
7:05
- Ooh, we get to taste it.
7:07
- Yes, we're gonna taste it, honey.
7:10
So get your fork ready.
7:16
- Doesn't that look good?
7:20
And it doesn't get any easier than that, y'all.
7:25
Okay, Henry, you gonna make me take the first bite?
7:37
That means let's eat here, baby.
7:43
- [Theresa] I think it was cut and he was being dramatic.
8:04
- [Theresa] Paula, I'm gonna help you out, wipe your chin.
8:09
- [Theresa] Blueberry.
8:11
- My tongue won't reach it, will it?
8:16
I'm not like Gene Simmons.
8:17
I can't, I can't reach that with my tongue.
8:20
So let's tell all our friends out there
8:24
that we send them Love and Best Dishes
8:27
and we hope they have a wonderful Memorial Day.
