- I'm fixing to share with y'all
0:03
one of the best sandwiches,
0:06
and I'm gonna start with tablespoon of butter.
0:10
And I've got one whole sweet onion
0:13
Vidalias are coming in season, so you know,
0:17
if you can get your hands on a Vidalia, ooh, I would do it.
0:23
But if you can't, a Texas Sweet will work good too.
0:28
Texas sweet onions, they're good.
0:31
All right, so we gonna caramelize these onions,
0:34
and you know, if you've ever caramelized onions
0:37
for onion soup, French onion soup,
0:42
it does take a while to caramelize them.
0:45
But you can caramelize these when you just kind of shuffling
0:49
around your kitchen, 'cause they'll last
0:51
for a good five days in your refrigerator.
0:54
So you can do this at the drop of a hat,
0:59
because it's, yeah, (indistinct) on everything.
1:05
And so it's just gonna take a while.
1:10
You're supposed to stir constantly on a lower heat,
1:14
and then you need to turn it up
1:16
and get them like a golden brown, but not dry.
1:22
So I may need to add some more butter, I don't know.
1:25
So we're gonna let that be for a little while,
1:28
and then we're going come back to it
1:30
and make us a great sandwich.
1:33
I'm fixing to cook our eggs,
1:34
and I'm gonna use some butter flavored olive oil,
1:39
and it's so good.
1:42
Can you get this one in our store?
1:44
We carry the butter?
1:45
I love especially love the butter and the champagne.
1:48
It's so good on salads.
1:51
All right, so here's our caramelized onions.
1:55
I think we cooked them down to nothing.
1:57
So if you're making french onion soup,
1:59
you'd want 'em about that color.
2:01
So I am suggesting, if you're gonna make four sandwiches,
2:06
I'd double that recipe.
2:08
So there we go.
2:11
And I've got my four eggs, and a tablespoon of milk,
2:19
little salt, a little pepper,
2:25
and I'm gonna cook these kind of on low.
2:33
And we want 'em done, but like not dried out, y'all.
2:40
You know what I'm saying?
2:43
Well see, it's a little hard for me
2:45
because I'm funny about my eggs, and the temperature.
2:50
So y'all, this is my new cookware
2:53
and I want you to look at it.
2:56
I love the size of it.
2:59
Have you cooked anything in it, Theresa?
3:02
- [Theresa] Which one? Oh yeah!
3:03
- Our new cookware, I love it.
3:05
I love, love, love.
3:08
And there's two pieces that are special that don't come
3:13
with a set, but I tell you what, you just,
3:16
that pot is incredible, you know?
3:19
'Cause all of our cook sets have
3:26
what they call the stock pot,
3:30
but it doesn't hold very much,
3:32
and they're all the same size.
3:37
But do we have...
3:40
- [Eddie] There's one right underneath it.
3:41
- Okay, well I'm gonna cut those eggs off,
3:44
'cause I don't want them too hard.
3:47
Oh my goodness.
3:49
(pots clattering)
3:52
I made gumbo the other day, and it was perfect.
3:57
Look how big that is.
3:59
So do we have 'em in the store yet, Eddie?
4:01
- [Eddie] Oh yeah, they're (indistinct).
4:02
- Oh, good, so all the Paula Deen stores.
4:05
How about if you're not gonna be near a Paula Deen store?
4:09
- [Eddie] I would still ordering.
4:11
- You can order 'em off, how?
4:13
- [Eddie] Through the Paula Deen store.
4:14
- Through the Paula Deen store.
4:15
So you're not talking about Amazon
4:17
or anything like that, right?
4:20
All right, so I think those are done enough,
4:23
'cause they'll finish cooking,
4:26
and,
4:30
I'm gonna just wipe my pan out.
4:34
Look at that pan.
4:37
And I didn't use any kind of spray or anything.
4:43
Just a little butter.
4:47
Alright, so now I'm gonna add a little bit more olive oil.
4:54
And this is a healthy sandwich. (laughing)
5:00
It's got spinach in it.
5:03
So you know, if you don't like the spinach, leave it out,
5:07
but I would suggest that you use it,
5:13
'cause it's just gives it a nice little flavor.
5:17
Oh, I didn't turn my eye on.
5:22
I didn't have my eye on you. (laughing)
5:27
And you know who I'm talking to?
5:31
The captain.
5:33
Peeps.
5:35
Half of our grandchildren call him Peeps, or Pee Paw,
5:41
and then the other half call him Papa.
5:46
So that's our Papa Peeps, Papa Peeps! (chuckling)
5:55
And they got that name of something.
6:00
Can I give you that, There, please?
6:02
- [Theresa] Yeah, I was gonna say, if you want me to...
6:05
- Because yeah, you...
6:06
- [Theresa] Had to help you out (indistinct).
6:08
- So,
6:09
(Theresa speaking indistinctly)
6:09
we were at a casino one time, (chuckling)
6:13
and...
6:17
Watch your sore hip.
6:20
And Michael was at the card table, he was playing Blackjack.
6:25
And he was doing good.
6:26
He had like doubled down, and so when it was over,
6:31
I mean he had a hearty, hearty bet going on.
6:35
And this woman came up, and she said, "Go, you go, Pee Paw!"
6:42
And I looked at him, I said, "You are now Pee Paw!"
6:46
I laughed and laughed and laughed.
6:49
So I don't know if we even had any grandchildren
6:54
at that time, did we?
6:57
- No.
6:59
(Paula laughing)
7:00
- I thought that was so funny, 'cause you know,
7:03
he looked like a Pee Paw.
7:06
With his beard and his...
7:08
- [Michael] Well Peeps, Pee Paw, and Papa.
7:09
- Yeah, Peeps, yeah.
7:11
Pee Paw, they shortened it.
7:14
Jack and Maddie shortened it to Peeps.
7:20
I think, didn't they?
7:21
Aren't they the one?
7:22
- Yeah, well they had just come up with Peeps.
7:25
- No, it was from that Pee Paw.
7:30
Peeps is easier.
7:33
But they love their Pee Paw.
7:40
All right, so we are soon
7:42
gonna put these sandwiches together.
7:46
You know, I don't want...
7:52
I don't want my eggs getting too cold, nor my onions.
8:01
Okay, Theresa, would you mind slicing one
8:05
of those tomatoes for me please?
8:07
- [Theresa] Not at all. - Thank you,
8:08
and not real thick either, you know?
8:12
'Cause these are gonna be kind of a hearty sandwich.
8:18
Okay, oops!
8:20
I was about to put it in the wrong place.
8:22
That's a plate for our sandwiches.
8:26
(spoon tapping)
8:28
All right.
8:30
Now I'm gonna use the same pans to toast our sandwiches in,
8:36
and what's gonna make these sandwiches really ever so good
8:41
is the bread we're using.
8:45
And this is sourdough.
8:50
And sourdough bread is incredible with some butter on it.
8:59
And I tell you what, I could only eat half
9:01
of a sandwich like that.
9:02
How about you, Pee Paw? (chuckling)
9:06
And I'm gonna mayonnaise.
9:13
I'm gonna mayonnaise these, and you can put
9:17
however much you like.
9:21
I'm a mayonnaise girl, so I like a lot.
9:31
- [Theresa] (Indistinct) more than that, Paula?
9:33
- What's that?
9:34
- [Theresa] Tomatoes?
9:35
- No, I don't, ooh, that's a pretty tomato, Theresa.
9:38
- It was yours, yeah. - Yeah.
9:40
(Theresa speaking indistinctly)
9:42
- They're those that come off the vine, you know?
9:47
All right.
9:51
So I'm gonna go ahead and put one together.
9:54
And I don't think it really matters, how you load it up.
10:02
And now, it didn't call for this kind of bread, so...
10:09
So it's gonna take a little bit more
10:18
for this great big bread, ooh.
10:22
That, ooh.
10:24
Oh good, that spinach is hot, hot, hot.
10:28
All right, now I'm gonna put a slice of Swiss cheese,
10:35
maybe a slice and a half because of our big bread.
10:46
All right.
10:54
Looks pretty good, doesn't it?
10:59
All right, because this bread is so fresh,
11:01
and my butter is
11:04
not real soft,
11:09
you can toast your bread using mayonnaise
11:16
rather than butter, because it has the oil in it
11:19
that you need, and it makes a nice, brown, toasty bread.
11:27
Woohoo!
11:31
I'm excited.
11:35
So here we go.
11:37
You know, to me, two of these sandwiches
11:40
will feed four people, because we gonna have something
11:43
to go with it, like macaroni salad.
11:50
All right, so next is our spinach.
11:53
Ooh, and it's so good and hot.
11:57
Next is our caramelized onion.
12:02
It's a big sandwich.
12:05
A big boy. (chuckling)
12:13
I think he's hungry, 'cause you know,
12:16
he asked me first thing this morning, he knew I was filming.
12:20
He said, "What you cooking today?"
12:22
So I knew he was gonna want some of whatever I was cooking.
12:27
Alright, and one more time, uh oh.
12:31
One more time, we're gonna spread a little mayonnaise
12:35
on the outside rather than butter.
12:37
(bottle sputtering)
12:38
Oh, excuse me. (chuckling)
12:43
Excuse please.
12:47
Alright, so we're gonna toast these
12:49
until our cheese is melted.
12:57
You know what I think'd be good on this, Theresa?
13:00
- [Theresa] What?
13:01
Some bacon.
13:02
Oh, I forgot the tomatoes.
13:04
Oh, holy, holy camole.
13:14
Those tomatoes are beautiful.
13:19
All right, so let's take a peek.
13:27
It's not quite brown yet, but now I can turn it back up,
13:37
'cause I'm able to watch it now.
13:39
See how good that mayonnaise toasted that bread?
13:43
Like butter.
13:46
All right, let's look at this piece.
13:50
Mmhm.
13:53
It's beautiful, beautiful.
13:59
So I hope y'all learned a new little trick
14:02
about that mayonnaise.
14:05
All right.
14:07
Ooh, everything is so hot up here.
14:11
All right, now I'm gonna slice this.
14:14
So I'm saying this will serve the four of us nicely,
14:19
along with some macaroni salad.
14:21
- [Theresa] Mmhm.
14:29
- I gotta get that off (indistinct).
14:33
All right, look how pretty.
14:36
So pretty.
14:42
All right.
14:45
Pee Paw, you get the first bite.
14:49
- [Michael] It's dripping.
14:51
Do you have a plate?
14:52
- [Theresa] I can get you a plate.
14:53
- Thank you.
14:57
Thank you. (chuckling) - [Theresa] You're welcome.
15:01
- [Michael] Thank you. - You're welcome.
15:06
You have some pepper?
15:12
He's high maintenance, y'all.
15:13
- [Michael] Thank you. - What you want now,
15:14
hot sauce?
15:16
- No, this is good.
15:17
- Good, 'cause you ain't getting it.
15:20
'Cause I am fixing a bite into my sandwich.
15:25
Mm, look at that y'all.
15:27
Cheese, tomatoes, eggs, spinach, and my mouth.
15:32
(Michael chuckling)
15:40
I do love sourdough.
15:45
I love it, love it, love it.
15:48
(Michael grunting satisfactorily)
15:50
(Paula chuckling)
15:51
We got it, mm. - [Michael] Delicious.
15:54
- So Theresa and Eddie, I'll get your plate,
15:58
and let's eat some lunch,
16:00
'cause I'm sending y'all loving best dishes too
