0:14
You know my tongue, - Quinetta,

(laughing)
0:27
- I say, I get to that Q...
0:28
- Some people do Queen.
0:29
Okay.
0:30
(laughing)
0:31
- But she shared
0:35
a good part of her story with us.
0:38
And it's amazing.
0:41
In fact, I have, is this the first book or the second?
0:45
- The first.
0:45
- This is the first book
0:47
and she shares her journey with us,
0:50
"Naughty But Necessary."
0:53
And I love the title.
0:55
- Thank you.
0:56
- Says a lot.
0:57

1:09
I love the print in it because I can read that.
1:13
- Awesome.
1:14
- I can see that. (Q chuckling)
1:16
So for older eyes, it's great, Q.
1:20
I hope that y'all pick it up
1:23
because it's a very interesting, wonderful
1:27
success story to come from the depths of hell,
1:32
- Yes.
1:33
- To heaven.
1:33
So Q has a bakery in Albany
1:36
and that's where I first met her.
1:38
Bubbles, took me to her bakery.
1:42
And I think I had this peanut butter bar
1:45
and I think I like it. - Yes, you loved them.
1:47
Okay. - Yes, yes.
1:48
- So Q is gonna share her recipe with us
1:51
and it's like so many of recipes that I share with y'all,
1:57
it's doable.
1:58
- Yes.
1:59
- It's easy.
2:00
Good chance you got all this in cabinet, right?
2:03
- Yes, yes, yes.
2:04
- So and, oh, you took your air conditioner off.
2:08
- I did. (laughing)
2:10
- Q is like me.
2:11
We're head sweaters.
2:12
- Yes, yes.
2:15
- So somebody sent me a air conditioner
2:17
to go around your neck and I love it.
2:19
So I got it out for Q.
2:20
So you're welcome to put it on.
2:23
- Okay.
2:24
- You might just can't turn it on cause of the sound.
2:25
- Okay. Okay.
2:27
(both laughing)
2:28
And if I have a flash, I'll have to borrow it from you.
2:31
- Okay.
2:31
We'll share it.
2:32
How about that?
2:33
We'll share it.
2:34
- Okay, so get going, girl.
2:36
- All right.
2:37
So we are gonna do the peanut butter bars.
2:39
Some people call 'em
2:40
old school, Old Fashioned Peanut Butter Bars.
2:43
Are they either call 'em Nutty Buddy Bars.
2:45
- Nutty Buddy, yeah, they taste like a nutty buddy,
2:48
don't they?
2:49
- Yes, yes, yes they do.
2:50
So the first thing we're gonna do is take our ingredients.
2:53
We have two cups of sugar.
2:55
We have two cups of self-rising flour.
2:58
We have two cups of oatmeal.
3:01
We have two eggs and one cup of creamy peanut butter,
3:04
things that you can find in your cabinet
3:06
all day long.
3:07
- You're so good.
3:08
I kind of forget to tell my ingredients.
3:11
(laughing)
3:12
- So we'll start with the oatmeal
3:14
and we mix it all in the same bowl.
3:17
- Love it.
3:18
A one bowl.
3:19
- Yes.
3:19
- One bowl wonder.
3:21
- Yes, one bowl wonder.
3:22
Nice and quick.
3:24
So there's no special way.
3:26
We also do two cups of,
3:30
we do two cups of, two sticks of butter.
3:33
Two sticks of melted butter.
3:35
That's it.
3:36
That's it, Paula.
3:37
- See, I told y'all she was my soul.
3:38
(Q laughing)
3:41
- So I'm getting it all in here.
3:45
All right.
3:49
- So who rode with you today from Albany?
3:53
- I have my dear friend that rode with me from Albany,
3:56
little Shakka,
3:57
Barney Pate. - Shakkakan.
3:59
( all laughing)
4:03
- So I'm so thankful that she was able
4:05
to come with me today.
4:07
- I know that you were.
4:08
- Yes.
4:09
- That's got to be the most boring drive.
4:11
- It is, yes.
4:13
Oh my gosh, it is.
4:15
- You think you're never gonna get off of 16.
4:18
- I know it.
4:19
And luckily that's what she likes to drive.
4:22
So guess what?
4:23
She was a great help.
4:25
- Oh, so you drove, Shakka?
4:28
- And then my two stick.
4:30
(audio drops)
4:43
- Do you know that margarine,
4:45
this is what I hear,
4:48
margarine was first invented to use
4:52
on automobiles and things like that.
4:56
- Oh no, I did not.
4:57
- On machinery.
4:59
- Oh wow.
5:00
- And they finally found a way for us to consume it.
5:06
So, you know, I said, "God made the cow
5:08
"and the cow made the butter and stick with the real thing."
5:12
- [Q] Yeah, stick with the real thing.
5:14
- [Paula] Stick with he real thing.
5:15
- [Q] I use a pure butter, real butter on everything.
5:18
- Absolutely
5:20
- I do, so I'm just...
5:21
- Some people like margarine,
5:23
but I recommend that you
5:27
stay away from it maybe.
5:28
- I do too.
5:30
So I'm folding this.
5:31
- Yes, you are.
5:32
- It's very simple.
5:34
Very, very simple,
5:35
very quick. - And this doesn't
5:36
need any spay?
5:37
- [Q] No spray, we've got...
5:38
- [Paula] Because of the butter?
5:40
- [Q] Yes, the butter.
5:42
We got lots of butter.
5:44
- [Paula] All right, well I'm gonna be your sous chef
5:46
and your cleaner upper.
5:48
- [Q] All right.
5:49
So we gonna fold this in
5:52
and then we are gonna get it ready to go.
5:55
- That's what I meant to ask you.
5:57
I'm gonna cut the oven on.
5:58
What do you bake it on?
5:59
- We bake it on 325.
6:01
- 325.
6:03
- Yes.
6:04
- [Paula] Well, I'm gonna get our oven to going.
6:07
- Okay and now I've got it folded.
6:10
I'll put it into the pan.
6:13
Do not spray your pan with these.
6:16
Do not.
6:18
You will mess up the entire recipe if you do.
6:22
I've done it before, y'all.
6:24
(laughing)
6:28
- Cause I believe in those sprays, you know?
6:30
- Yes.
6:31
- [Paula] I've had some disasters.
6:35
- So I'm just spreading it evenly.
6:42
And we're gonna pop it in the oven.
6:44
- [Paula] Q,
6:45
- [Q] Yes.
6:46
- [Paula] In case people missed our video,
6:49
our conversation video?
6:51
- Um hm.
6:53
- [Paula] Tell everybody about your YouTube.
6:56
- Oh yeah.
6:57
You all can find me on...
7:00
- [Paula] It's new thing that she just started, y'all.
7:02
- Yes, "Mixing It Up With Ms. Q."
7:05
And it's a combination of recipes,
7:09
great talk and inspirational conversations
7:14
that I have with my audience.
7:17
- [Paula] Kind of like therapy, isn't it?
7:18
- It is, it really is.
7:20
So you don't wanna miss it.
7:22
I'm sure someone you know, if not yourself,
7:24
can use some of that great information that I give.
7:29
I also added resources.
7:31
If you need a second chance,
7:34
you've had some struggles with getting on track with life,
7:38
you can get some resources off my YouTube,
7:41
"Mixing It Up With Ms. Q."
7:43
I did a pink table and I offered a lot of resources after
7:46
at the end of the pink table.
7:48
So go and watch us,
7:49
on "Mixing It Up With Ms. Q." - Is that done
7:51
in the bakery, Q?
7:53
- Actually it is,
7:55
it is, yes.
7:58
So we're gonna put this in the oven for 25 minutes.
8:02
- [Paula] Okay.
8:05
I got your oven heating.
8:06
- Okay.
8:08
- That looks like delicious.
8:11
And you know what?
8:13
I think this might be a healthy recipe.
8:16
You think?
8:18
- Peanut butter.
8:19
- The oatmeal
8:19
and the peanut butter. - Yeah.
8:21
The eggs. - Well, most people, yes.
8:22
- Most people that come and they say,
8:24
"What do you have healthy?"
8:26
And they say, (Paula laughing)
8:27
"Oh, it has peanut butter and oatmeal.
8:29
"I'll try that."
8:30
(Paula laughing)
8:31
We're not gonna talk about the chocolate
8:32
that goes on top of it once it's done.
8:34
- Oh, oh, oh chocolate.
8:35
- Yeah.
8:37
(laughing)
8:37
- Yay.
8:39
(both laughing)
8:40
- All right.
8:41
So we're gonna start with our chocolate.
8:44
- Yes, while our oatmeal bars,
8:46
peanut butter oatmeal bars are baking,
8:49
Q is gonna make the chocolate icing to go on 'em.
8:51
- Yes, yes, yes.
8:53
So we're gonna start with like a half cup of milk,
8:57
and we're gonna pour it in the saucer.
9:00
We gotta turn it on first, don't we?
9:02
- [Paula] Actually that's heavy cream.
9:04
- Heavy cream, yes.
9:05
I love heavy cream.
9:07
So I would do heavy cream opposed to regular milk.
9:12
- [Paula] Yeah.
9:13
- Okay.
9:13
- Or half and half
9:14
- Or half and half.
9:15
You can do half and half.
9:16
- Yes.
9:17
- Yes you can.
9:18
- But ain't nothing like that, y'all.
9:20
- I call heavy cream my secret weapon.
9:24
I just love it. (Paula laughing)
9:25
I just love it.
9:26
So we got about three cups of powdered sugar here
9:31
and we gonna add it into the heavy cream.
9:34
Just making us some good old fashioned,
9:36
homemade chocolate icing.
9:39
- [Paula] Yeah, so simple, isn't it?
9:40
- Yes, very simple.
9:41
- When does your butter come in?
9:44
- The butter is coming up next after this,
9:47
so we're gonna go ahead and add some cocoa.
9:52
- [Paula] Do you need a whisk?
9:53
- Yes, I do.
9:58
Thank you.
10:04
We gonna add a stick of melted butter.
10:06
- [Paula] Okay.
10:08
I will get it melted for you.
10:10
- All right.
10:11
Gonna put that right there for the time being.
10:16
And we just going to whisk this up.
10:20
- [Paula] How many employees do you have in your bakery?
10:24
- Right now, I have five.
10:26
- That's good.
10:28
And are you open six days a week?
10:31
- I am actually open five days a week.
10:35
I'm open on Tuesday through Saturday.
10:39

11:10
Oh yeah, this is cooking up real good.
11:12
- [Paula] You look so good to have son 38 years old.
11:17
- A daughter.
11:18
A daughter 38, and a son 28.
11:21

11:23
- Yes. Yes.
11:24
Well actually my granddaughter graduated from college.

11:42
I'm just waiting on my butter
11:45
and this is going to be amazing.
11:48
- Okay,
11:51
it's melted enough.
11:52
I think it'll finish melting in your chocolate.
11:55
- Thank you.
11:57
- You're welcome.
11:58
- This is perfect.
11:59
- It's an honor to be your sous chef.
12:01
- Well, I thank you.
12:02
I'm gonna add a little vanilla.
12:06
- [Paula] That's good old homemade vanilla.
12:08
- I see.
12:09
I want this y'all.
12:11
Paula got everything.
12:12
(Paula laughing)
12:13
She's got everything, I'm telling y'all.
12:15
- We made this almost a year ago, didn't we?
12:18
- Wow.
12:20
Y'all gotta help me talk her into
12:22
taking some of that to the bakery.
12:23
I bet y'all will like that, huh?
12:25
- Yes, and you know for it to really be good though, Q,
12:28
it needs to sit for a couple of months.
12:30
That's the only thing. - Really?
12:31
Yes, you get - Oh wow.
12:32
the vanilla beans and slice 'em and then scrape
12:35
all the goody off of 'em.
12:36
- Oh wow.
12:37
I'm gonna add the rest of this.
12:39
- With your vodka?
12:41
- Oh yeah.
12:42
- Bourbon.
12:43
- Or Bourbon.
12:44
- [Paula] Yes.
12:46
That's the only thing.
12:47
You can't wait until you're out.
12:49
- [Q] Right, you gotta make it, yeah,
12:51
because it has to sit and marinate for so long.
12:55
All right.
12:55
So we're about finished with our chocolate icing.
13:05
It's looking really good.
13:07
- Um, um, um.
13:10
That is chocolate-ate.
13:12
- Yes.
13:14
At its absolute best.
13:16
(Paula laugh)
13:18
I love it.
13:21
- All right.
13:21
That you get it thin enough,
13:23
so you just pour it.
13:24
- Pour it.
13:25
Yes, it's a pour.
13:26
Yes. - Okay.
13:27
The good old fashioned grandma icing.
13:30
- Yes, I was gonna say, it's more like an icing
13:32
than a frosting, right?
13:33
- Yes.
13:34
Yes it is.
13:35
All right.
13:36
So we've got our peanut butter bars out of the oven.
13:40
Just pay attention to the color.
13:43
We don't want 'em that dark,
13:44
'cause we want keep the moistness in 'em
13:46
and we gonna bring them over here,
13:49
where Paula is,
13:50
and we're just gonna pour the chocolate
13:53
that has been made. - I tested your chocolate
13:55
to make sure it was good enough for you.
13:57
(laughing)
13:59
- So what'd you think?
14:00
- I think it's good enough for you.
14:01
You do think it's good enough?
14:03
- Yes.
14:03
- All right. all right.
14:04
So we're gonna pour it on top
14:07
and Paula's gonna spread while I pour.
14:09
- [Paula] Yes, yes.
14:11
- [Q] Yes.
14:12
- [Paula] Oh my goodness, Q.
14:14
- [Q] Yes.
14:16
- Oh, I forgot it was so hot.
14:18
Don't touch. - It's straight outta
14:19
the oven. (chuckling)
14:20
- Yes, don't touch.
14:22
- Mm, this is, like, yummy looking.
14:28
You got some more? - I'm gonna pour
14:29
a little more.
14:30
- May I take this?
14:31
- Yes.
14:33
By all means. - Every drop.
14:34
Yes.
14:36
Get it.
14:38
Perfect.
14:39
- You know you can tell I'm from the old school.
14:42
I get every drop out.
14:43
- Every drop that's me.
14:44
They laugh at the bakery (speaking over one another)
14:45
cause they say, "Ms. Q is gonna get you
14:48
"if you throw some of that away."
14:49
- I'm telling you what.
14:50
- We want every drop
14:52
- Every drop.
14:53
And I'd watch the kitchen staff like a hawk,
14:56
to make sure they wasted
14:58
nothing. - Nothing.
14:59
- [Q] That's it.
15:01
That is it.
15:01
- I told them one day, (chuckling)
15:04
I used this as an example
15:06
and I think it made it clear for 'em,
15:10
you know, what I was saying,
15:13
but I said, "I want y'all to think about this
15:16
"because this does have something to do with y'all.
15:21
"All right, you think about this container,
15:26
"this dish of dessert.
15:32
"And I want you to think about it this way."
15:35
I'm gonna wait for you to come back over here.
15:36
- [Q] Okay.
15:38
- 'Cause I think it's a great way to get away the, okay.
15:42
So you think about,
15:44
I asked them to think about this pan of desserts.
15:48
All right, this third of it.
15:50
- [Q] Don't touch it.
15:51
(Paula chuckles)
15:52
- [Paula] This third of it pays for the ingredients.
15:57
This third pays your salary.
16:03
And this part is a profit for the restaurant.
16:07
And it's very important
16:09
that you don't throw the restaurants profit away.
16:14
- That's good.
16:14
- 'Cause you need all of that.
16:16
- All of that to make one.
16:19
Perfect. That's perfect.
16:20
I like it.
16:21
I like it.
16:22
So I want you to taste it. - They understood.
16:23
- They understood.
16:24
- Oh good.
16:25
Very good. - It was clearer to 'em
16:27
when I could involve - When you did like that.
16:29
their paycheck.

- Exactly.
16:31
I do a lot of that at the bakery with customer service.
16:36
Just telling them how important the customers are.
16:40
If you you treat them good, - They're everything.
16:42
and you show great customer service,
16:44
they'll keep coming back and we can keep the doors open
16:47
and then I can pay you more.
16:49
The more the customers, the more you can get paid,
16:52
the more the company can make.
16:54
- That's exactly right.
16:55
- I always telling 'em, let's just keep that in mind.
16:57
- I'm telling you.
16:59
I've been in some businesses queue where you walk in
17:03
and that person in that business acts like
17:08
they are doing me
17:09
a favor. - Favor.
17:12

17:28
but we'll get,
17:31

I hope it'll come out with it being so hot.
17:37
- If you get a strong enough spatula
17:39
I know how to get it out. - Yeah, that's what
17:40
That middle one right there. I'm looking for.
17:41
- Well, this one, this one is my grandmother's spatula.
17:45
I've got one that's not quite as wide
17:47
that my Aunt Peggy gave me
17:51
but this was my grandmother's spatula
17:55
in her restaurant at River Bend when I was little.
