I'm back in the kitchen with Teresa, and Eddie.
0:07
What's the name of this video now?
0:16
calling it Quarantine Cooking,
0:18
but has the name gotten changed over a way?
0:21
- [Teresa] Love and Best Dishes!
0:22
- I think, I've asked y'all before.
0:23
- [Teresa] We called it Love and Best Dishes.
0:23
- Love and Best Dishes!
0:25
- [Teresa] Best Dishes, Paula Dean's Best Dishes.
0:28
- [Teresa] They actually helped us with the name
0:29
different people sending in requests.
0:30
- Oh really? - [Teresa] Yeah!
0:33
I still love quarantine cooking because,
0:35
we'll never forget being quarantined.
0:38
- I mean, it was like no other.
0:41
- [Teresa] it was QuaranDean cooking.
0:43
- QuaranDean cooking. (laughing)
0:47
Well, Bubbles, our friend,
0:54
she sent it to Teresa and said,
0:55
tell Paula to make this salad.
0:59
And when I make things like this,
1:06
you making some of them geriatric salads, I see.
1:15
And I happen to like geriatric salads.
1:18
In fact, I liked 'em when I was not a geriatric person.
1:25
And my mother made something similar
1:27
to this every Christmas,
1:31
yeah, A good bit different from Mama's.
1:34
So this is real easy y'all.
1:38
You need a 16 ounce carton of cottage cheese.
1:43
And Bubbles told me that this works real good,
1:47
if you're trying to cut the calories,
1:50
that it works just as well with that fat free stuff
1:56
You know, I'd rather just cut my portion,
2:00
and gimme the good stuff.
2:02
All right, let's see.
2:03
I'm gonna use a 3.4, I think it is.
2:07
- [Teresa] It's already a,
2:09
Three ounce package of lime jello gelatin.
2:15
So we're gonna stir that together.
2:21
Ooh, I just love the lime.
2:23
The gel salad that Mama made at Christmas
2:27
was a lime and a lemon,
2:31
- [Eddie] You know, I was reading some of the comments
2:34
we asked, like whatever flavors we, you know, they might
2:38
would like to see on those orange blossom,
2:40
and lemon blossoms? - Yes.
2:41
- And someone brought up a key lime one,
2:44
which I bet would be good.
2:48
- [Eddie] And then cherry would be good too.
2:50
- [Teresa] And you can buy the key lime juice,
2:52
- [Teresa] You know you can buy 'em.
2:55
- [Teresa] Maybe, we can ask Michael
2:56
to bring us some back from Key West.
2:57
- [Eddie] Key West, yeah.
2:59
- (laughing) Yep, Michael's in Key West.
3:00
Eddie is back in place,
3:03
and me and Teresa, we ain't been nowhere.
3:05
We don't get to go nowhere. (laughing)
3:07
- [Teresa] We haven't been anywhere.
3:08
- All right, now, the next thing I'm gonna do
3:15
yeah, this is a 20 ounce can
3:17
of crushed pineapple,
3:21
Bubbles says to drain it slightly.
3:25
we've called ourselves draining it slightly.
3:29
And we are just gonna fold that in.
3:34
This is so dad gum simple, isn't it?
3:38
And the beauty of this one
3:40
is you don't have to put it in a mold
3:44
or anything like that.
3:47
This will just be a spoon up,
3:52
you know what, there's not many left.
3:54
(Teresa laughing) (Paula laughing)
3:55
So we'll just get rid of 'em all,
3:58
get done with that one.
4:02
And then the last ingredient
4:05
that we're gonna put in,
4:11
I think this is eight ounce.
4:14
- [Teresa] No, it's like a,
4:15
it's a little bit bigger than that, almost
4:17
- Well I don't see it, let's see,
4:22
An eight ounce container of your frozen whipped topping.
4:28
- [Teresa] And look, what's even better.
4:30
because unless you save carton,
4:32
- [Teresa] unless you save the plastic cartons,
4:34
which a lot of people do, it's all going,
4:37
Cause they just work out
4:39
well good, yeah. - [Teresa] They're great,
4:40
but it all goes, there's no bowls or,
4:47
- So, I think children,
4:50
I think children would like this don't you?
4:54
- Kinda like a dessert.
4:55
- [Teresa] Have them sit in front of a TV.
4:58
And if you don't have the frozen whipped topping,
5:01
and you got fresh cream,
5:04
you could take one cup of fresh cream,
5:07
and a fourth a cup of sugar,
5:09
and make your own eight ounce carton of topping.
5:19
You know, I used to make,
5:21
I hadn't made it in years,
5:25
salad, or something like that,
5:27
that's much like this.
5:30
- [Teresa] It had marshmallows.
5:31
- [Eddie] With marshmallows.
5:32
- Yes, it had marshmallows. - [Teresa] Yeah.
5:33
- What was the name of that, salad?
5:40
- [Teresa] I don't know.
5:41
I don't know that I've ever had it.
5:43
- Oh, I got it somewhere.
5:45
It's somewhere rattling around, up in there.
5:47
- [Eddie] Did it have pineapple?
5:50
- Seems like it had pineapple in it.
5:51
- [Teresa] You could put marshmallows in that too.
5:56
Okay, so we just gonna put this (spatula banging)
5:59
in the refrigerator, and let it kind of set,
6:06
and then we'll come back,
6:08
and enjoy some of this.
6:17
this needs to be a little bit
6:24
good enough to taste.
6:35
Reminds me of my Mama.
6:47
and add marshmallows to it,
6:50
you know whatever you can come up with.
6:59
I always took maraschino cherries
7:03
Cause that little bit of red is pretty.
7:12
delicious, delicious.
7:15
Go geriatric salads! (laughing)
7:21
There's a lot of us baby boomers out there,
7:25
appreciating our salads. (laughing)
