(Paula laughing)
0:04
- The witches are here.
0:05
- Yes, the witches are here, y'all.
0:07
I am just over the moon 'cause my bestie's here.
0:10
Y'all know her as Bubbles.
0:15
And she came in to spend three or four days with me
0:17
and I've been so excited.
0:20
Y'all know- - It's been fun.
0:21
- In 2012, I started a foundation to help other women
0:28
and Susan is the president of that foundation
0:33
so she is here redoing the board
0:35
and we're trying to get that cranked back off
0:39
'cause there's a lot of women out there that need help.
0:41
- That's exactly right.
0:42
- I certainly was not the only one that needed help.
0:45
- We have found a lot of organizations
0:47
and they are most grateful.
0:49
- Yes, yes, yes.
0:50
So she does a good job.
0:53
Real good job.
0:55
So she is in here to help me with some Halloween recipes.
1:00
- I can't wait.
1:01
- This is gonna require a little artist.
1:03
It's been a long time since I've done anything artistic.
1:10
- I have no artistic bones in my body.
1:13
- Well, the person that really has the artistic bones
1:18
is running the camera
1:20
so I may switch with him in a few minutes
1:22
and say, "Okay, Eddie."
1:25
We need a sharp blade too but I don't have it.
1:28
You know those little cutters that you push out
1:31
and they got the sharp blade?
1:32
Really could stand that for some of these cutouts.
1:35
But y'all, what it is,
1:38
what we're doing
1:38
is basically a cheese straw, right, Sissy?
1:43
- Mmm.
1:44
- And we're gonna put our cheeses.
1:49
And this is cheddar.
1:55
- Extra sharp.
1:56
- Yes, yes.
1:58
- I've made cheese straws and it doesn't have the zing.
2:01
- You have made so many cheese straws, haven't you?
2:05
- If your cheese is at room temperature, it helps.
2:07
- Yeah, yeah.
2:10
All right, well, speaking of room temperature,
2:12
after we get this together,
2:19
it's gonna have to go in the refrigerator.
2:21
- All right, that's Parmigiano and Reggia, how you say it?
2:24
- Pa, pah, pah. (laughing)
2:26
- How do you say that word?
2:27
- Oh, you know, I'm so good with pronunciation.
2:29
Let me get it.
2:30
- Get it lady.
2:32
- Parmigiano reggiano.
2:33
- Yes, hey.
2:35
- Did I say it right?
2:36
- You could work in Italy.
2:37
(food processor buzzing)
2:38
In Italy. (laughing)
2:41
Alright, let's see what we got.
2:44
Ooh, we got some pretty stuff.
2:48
Alright, now I'm gonna mix our salt in with our flour.
2:53
And this calls for a teaspoon
2:56
of cayenne pepper.
2:58
- That gonna be hot.
2:59
- To me, that's a lot.
3:01
That's a lot.
3:03
So I think I'm gonna cut back a little bit on that one,
3:06
Sissy, how about we do half?
3:09
- Half is what I do.
3:10
And it's a pound of cheese and you don't wait.
3:13
Yeah, you did a pound.
3:16
That'd be hot.
3:18
(spoon clanking)
3:19
- It'll light your fire.
3:22
Okay, you and I can take turns doing this.
3:26
How about this?
3:27
- Anybody that wants to make any donations
3:31
to the Bag Lady will be more than happy
3:35
to accept them.
3:38
(bowl clanking)
3:39
- [Paula] Yeah, Susan.
3:40
I said, "Lord, have mercy."
3:42
- We need to get us out there again.
3:47
- Yeah.
3:48
- You can just mail it right here to 121 Dogwood Avenue.
3:52
And the zip is 301041. - 30
3:57
(Paula laughing)
3:58
10410?
4:00
Is that Eddie?
4:01
- [Eddie] 31410
4:02
- 31410.
4:04
And listen, yes, we're doing well.
4:06
But you know what?
4:07
There are a lot of women and children out there
4:09
that need our help.
4:10
- Yes.
4:11
- And we met yesterday.
4:14
- I said, "Lord, have mercy."
4:14
I said, "If I ever make it, Lord,
4:17
I wanna find a way,
4:20
to, you know, help help other women
4:24
in distress." - And the nice thing
4:25
about it is, if we've got the money to give,
4:28
I mean we're generous.
4:29
- All right y'all.
4:30
So I got two balls
4:35
out of our mixture, so I decided to divide it
4:38
because this will be easier to roll out.
4:41
So just about 30 minutes.
4:44
All right.
4:45
The cheese straw dough
4:46
has been in there about 30 minutes now.
4:48
I just took a little bit of my bench flour
4:52
and we are to roll these out.
4:53
I'm gonna take off my rings because it's gonna keep,
4:56
this is one of my favorite sweet little rings
4:58
in my jewelry line.
5:00
Isn't that the sweetest little ring?
5:02
- Love that one and I love these.
5:03
- Oh, I know it, I love those two.
5:05
Mine don't fit my finger, so I haven't been wearing those.
5:09
Oh.
5:11
So anyway,
5:12
supposed to roll 'em out to 1/4 of an inch,
5:15
but I mean 1/8 of an inch.
5:19
But I don't think I'm gonna do 'em quite that thin.
5:24
Alright, so we got different size cookie cutters.
5:29
I've got some little eyes left over
5:36
from my Halloween previous baking.
5:40
All right, so how do y'all like that with the eyes?
5:44
All right.
5:46
- Now do me one 'cause I've got some.
5:48
- I need a little smile.
5:49
- Well just hold on.
5:50
- All right which size you want?
5:52
You want that size pumpkin?
5:54
Or where did I put my cookie cutter?
5:57
Oh, it's right there.
5:58
Blind baby.
5:59
- Okay, here's the white of the candy corn for his nose.
6:05
- Oh, perfect.
6:06
- And then we're gonna give him some jagged teeth.
6:09
- I can tell you a,
6:11
Ooh, look how thick that is.
6:12
That's a good 1/4 of an inch.
6:15
I better roll that out a little bit more.
6:19
Oh how cute is he?
6:21
- That's all one candy corn.
6:22
- Alright, so we would need a sharp, thin knife.
6:29
- I got one over here, a paring knife.
6:32
- [Paula] Yeah and-
6:35
- There's the tip of the candy corn.
6:38
- [Paula] Oh, that's what I started to tell y'all.
6:39
You wanna make sure that you place your cutters
6:44
- [Sissy] In the flour.
6:46
- No.
6:47
Take advantage of your,
6:50
you don't wanna just go like that.
6:51
You wanna think about what you're doing.
6:55
Okay, so this is what we're gonna do.
6:58
And I'm gonna need to change places with Eddie
7:03
because I'm so shaky.
7:05
You might not wanna take up this much time y'all
7:07
on something like this
7:11
but if you got little children and grandchildren,
7:15
you know we'll do most anything for 'em.
7:18
- Got that right.
7:22
- So
7:25
there's his eyes.
7:28
- [Sissy] I bet all that candy corn decoration
7:30
is gonna melt right into that cheese.
7:32
- You know it may but that's all right it's cute.
7:35
They're a little thick, but,
7:41
alright, I'm gonna do one other thing to him
7:43
to make him look like a pumpkin.
7:46
You know how pumpkins have those-
7:48
- [Sissy] Ridges.
7:49
- [Paula] Yes.
7:50
- [Sissy] I think just the ridges.
7:52
- It's a lot of trouble y'all.
7:57
Remember who it's for,
8:03
my precious children.
8:06
Oh, you got a kitty cat.
8:11
How do you like that one?
8:13
- Hmm hmm.
8:16
- You don't sound too enthused.
8:20
- [Sissy] Well, he's cute.
8:21
- But listen, y'all just let your imagination run wild.
8:27
Run wild.
8:28
- Wild.
8:29
- And have a good, good time.
8:32
Because I know some little ones.
8:34
But listen, if you are making this for little ones
8:38
you'll wanna be very careful
8:39
because I cut the cayenne pepper in half.
8:43
- [Sissy] Oh yeah.
8:44
- So you just wanna make sure that you,
8:49
you know, don't make them so hot
8:51
that the children can't eat them.
8:55
All right so we will just put our leftover edges
8:59
back together,
9:00
and we'll re-roll it,
9:05
and then keep moving on.
9:07
Okay, y'all, we did it.
9:10
And let's see which ones did Eddie do?
9:14
Eddie did those.
9:17
- [Sissy] I did the fat face.
9:18
- [Paula] Oh, okay, he got a big fat face.
9:20
- [Sissy] Eddie did the cute ones.
9:24
- And I did that one.
9:29
And then I just did some plain ones.
9:32
But you know, you could take all day
9:36
if you were perfectionist, you know?
9:39
I like the little cat.
9:41
- I do, I like the cat.
9:41
- And Sissy did all the, that's cute with the face.
9:43
We'll see what happens in the baking process.
9:46
But that cracker has been to the doctor too much.
9:53
Too many lip injections honey.
9:56
- She got some big lips.
9:57
- So we're gonna put this in the oven.
9:59
It's 325 and my gosh,
10:01
I can't remember for how long,
10:03
maybe 15 minutes.
10:05
Something like that.
10:07
Little kitty's cute.
10:09
I tried to give him some hair, you know.
10:12
So y'all, this is the cutest one.
10:15
The very first one that Sissy did.
10:18
Look how cute that is.
10:21
Those little fake eyes.
10:22
I can't believe we didn't put any more eyes.
10:25
But we got another ball to do.
10:27
- Candy corn teeth and a
10:29
the white candy corn. - The orange part.
10:31
And this is a yellow part of the candy corn, right?
10:34
And of course this one just showed up,
10:37
I love those eyes.
10:39
- [Sissy] I do too.
10:40
- [Paula] And the kitty cats got raisins.
10:44
And then I did one that was where we just-
10:47
- [Sissy] Cut out.
10:48
- [Paula] Cut out and I like that one.
10:49
- [Sissy] I like Eddie's.
10:51
- [Paula] Eddie's are, oops.
10:52
Eddie's are beautiful.
10:53
But I knew they would be.
10:57
I knew that they would be.
10:58
And then I just did some - Pumpkins.
11:00
- you know with like the pumpkin stripes.
11:04
So get in your kitchen and have fun.
11:07
If you're lucky,
11:08
maybe you can get a grandchild to come in and help you.
11:12
Yummy.
11:13
- That is good.
11:14
- That'll be so good with a martini tonight Eddie.
11:19
And a vodka and water. - How about
11:20
vodka and water or soda?
11:22
- It'll be delicious with my-
11:24
- See Aunt Peggy.
11:26
- I think Peggy's favorite drink.
11:29
I think she does water, not soda water.
11:31
- It depends
11:32
- If she's got it or not.
11:35
I'm so glad-
11:36
- She always has water.
11:39
- I'm so glad that I cut back on the cayenne.
11:43
- It would've been-
11:44
- That would've just been a Michael Cracker.
11:46
Get in the kitchen, y'all, and have fun with this recipe.
11:50
Make it as hot or as cool as you want it.
11:54
And just have fun using your imagination.
11:58
- It is fun.
11:59
- So thank you Sissy for being here
12:01
and thank you for doing the most beautiful one.
12:03
- Thank you.
12:04
Happy Halloween.
12:05
- Happy Halloween.
