0:00
- Hey y'all, I have told y'all so many times
0:04
how much I love hearing from y'all
0:09
when you share recipes,
0:11
it means so much to you
0:13
and has meant so much to your family through the years.
0:17
Well, I got a letter from Kara Sutton.
0:23
She and her family, her husband is a pastor,
0:25
and they were here for a meeting
0:29
or some kind of little convention
0:33
and they came by car so they had a cooler.
0:38
They went to the chicken box there
0:42
that's inside the Lady and Son's Restaurant
0:45
and she filled up her cooler
0:46
with every salad that she could find.
0:49
Had a picture made with Jamie.
0:52
She sent me two cards.
0:55
- [Eddie] I think she explored every nook and cranny
0:58
of 102 West Congress street.
1:01
- Yeah, that's wonderful to hear
1:08
she was here what, 24 hours?
1:10
- I think so. - Were they here.
1:13
I don't know. - It was just overnight.
1:15
- Yeah, I wish I could read the whole letter to y'all
1:18
'cause she is some more kind of sweet woman
1:22
and she told me to go to
1:28
Proverbs three, five through six,
1:32
Psalm 103, Romans 1513
1:35
and Philippines four.
1:39
So she is a god-fearing,
1:48
and she sent me, I think, two recipes,
1:54
- And I can't wait to do this recipe,
1:57
so I'm not going to tell y'all what it is.
2:00
We just going to do it one day
2:06
she wanted to share this recipe from her mama,
2:11
She made this over 35 years
2:13
and she'd gotten the recipe from the newspaper,
2:17
but she said it's always a hit at all the parties
2:23
and you can imagine all the church socials
2:30
Well, all this letter came in a package in a box
2:37
and I want y'all to see what Kara sent me.
2:44
She said the day that she watched my video
2:48
and I was ready to cry.
2:52
(spoon banging) Oops.
2:53
Because this was getting so old and I just love it.
2:58
- [Eddie] It has little, little, little, little pinhole
3:02
- Yeah, it's got a little pinhole in it and it's loose
3:06
and I just wanna cry every time I look at it
3:09
'cause I love that one so much.
3:13
But, Kara, this looks like it had never been used
3:18
and she said when she decided, when she saw this,
3:22
she decided that she was gonna just search
3:25
until she found one in good shape
3:28
and it's like it's never been used,
3:31
but it has been used.
3:33
You can see the nicks and knocks in it.
3:36
But I can't tell you, Kara, how much that meant to me
3:40
for you to take your time and your money
3:43
and do something so special for me.
3:47
I will treasure this.
3:49
Every time I use it, I will think of Kara Sutton.
3:54
So I'm gonna share with everybody, Kara,
3:59
the fruit dip recipe that belonged to your mama.
4:05
So that's what I'm gonna share.
4:06
I wish I could read all this letter to y'all,
4:11
but it would take too much time.
4:14
But just trust me, she's a beautiful lady
4:19
and I thank her from the bottom of my heart for my new ladle
4:25
'cause this one, I'm not getting rid of it,
4:30
but it can be put to bed.
4:32
In fact, I think I may frame it.
4:34
Put it in a shadow box, Eddie. (chuckling)
4:40
so the fruit dip that her mother made
4:45
is eight ounces of cream cheese.
4:56
This one is not wanting to let go.
5:05
All right, so we are gonna add two teaspoons of vanilla.
5:09
Yeah, two teaspoons of vanilla.
5:20
This is gonna be good and y'all,
5:23
four and ingredients, now you can't beat that.
5:31
All right, so I'm just gonna
5:36
get my cream cheese broken down and creamy, creamy.
5:47
And it calls for two sugars,
5:50
a light brown sugar and white sugar
5:56
and let's see, it's just real, real easy.
6:01
It's eight ounces of softened cream cheese,
6:04
three fourths a cup of brown sugar,
6:06
light brown sugar, packed,
6:08
a fourth of a cup of white sugar
6:10
and two teaspoons of vanilla.
6:16
We love those easy recipes, Kara.
6:38
And you can so make this ahead of time
6:50
Now, Kara said that her mother
6:52
used to serve this with apples.
6:57
Any kind of fruit, any kind of fruit she wanted.
7:02
So this could stand to be a little bit softer,
7:09
but we going to go with it like it is.
7:16
There's some things that y'all have sent me over the years
7:20
from friends that I've never met
7:22
and they have meant the world to me
7:29
and I've just gotten so many wonderful things
7:33
Somebody took their time,
7:35
gave me their time to do that
7:41
this cup that was made for me
7:43
it says, "Bo butt shots, Eddie."
7:48
- [Eddie] It was funny.
7:49
We were sitting in the airport one time,
7:52
you had that cup with you
7:53
and this woman across from you was just looking at it,
7:57
trying to figure out exactly what that meant.
8:02
- Did she ask you? - No.
8:03
But I could see just from the look on her face,
8:06
- Her trying to figure it out.
8:08
- [Eddie] What does that even mean?
8:09
- This dip is delicious, Kara, and
8:15
somebody sent me an ice cream scoop.
8:18
They had seen me struggling
8:24
some not so good ice cream scoops.
8:28
This is the finest ice cream scoop
8:31
I have ever held in my hand
8:34
and you put it in hot water,
8:37
leave it in hot water,
8:38
and those coals get hot in there
8:42
and that ice cream just slides right off.
8:47
So that's just some of the things.
8:51
But there's been so much,
8:53
there's been so much over the years
8:55
and I can't thank y'all enough for
9:00
your sweet actions towards me and my family.
9:07
stay tuned 'cause your second recipe that you sent me
9:11
is gonna be in the near, near, near future
9:16
and thank you for being you
9:17
and I hope the next time you come back to Savannah
9:20
that I get to meet you face to face.
9:23
Love and best dishes to everybody.
