0:00
- Do y'all wanna know what I'm doing? (chuckles)
0:04
I'm dipping marshmallows into some hot cream,
0:09
and I'm making coconut bonbons.
0:14
So, we have put our cream in the microwave
0:20
for a minute and a half,
0:23
and we're just gonna roll it around
0:24
in here for about 15 seconds.
0:27
And then we go and roll it in our flaked coconut
0:36
And that's sweet and shredded coconuts
0:42
and cashews, salted cashews.
0:50
And how long did it take us?
0:53
Why don't y'all help me count?
0:54
One, two, three, four,
0:56
five, six, seven, eight, nine,
1:00
10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15.
1:07
And you just wanna shake the access off
1:14
and roll them in that beautiful cashew
1:28
All right, here we go.
1:31
If you start moving a little slow,
1:33
you may have to stick your heavy cream...
1:36
This was cream with a half a teaspoon
1:41
of vanilla extract in it.
1:44
So if it starts to cool off,
1:46
just stick it back in the microwave.
1:49
And I've got like half coconut,
1:51
half a chopped cashews in here.
1:55
So it's real, real simple and easy.
2:10
Coconut bonbons. (chuckles)
2:16
And you wanna just leave them in there
2:17
until the outside of your marshmallows
2:21
start to get a little soft.
2:25
And this would be a great recipe
2:28
for the little children, your grandchildren,
2:33
to get in the kitchen and make.
2:36
We'll go ahead and finish these last three up.
2:55
Just gonna cover it in coconut and cashews.
3:09
Ooh, those got (laughs) real good and soft.
3:14
You know, and if it was a certain holiday
3:18
or anything like that, say it was St. Patrick's Day,
3:24
we could put some green food coloring in this
3:30
and have St. Patrick's Day bonbons.
3:44
Some people don't care for it, but I am a coconut lover.
3:49
And Eddie went to the China cabinet
3:53
and got out the only piece of silver
4:01
And I remember this being on our coffee table
4:04
as far back as when I was five,
4:08
and she would put mints in it.
4:10
Well, today in memory of my beautiful sweet mama,
4:16
I'm gonna put my coconut bonbons in it.
4:21
And I still love you, Mama, like it was yesterday.
4:26
In fact, yesterday, I was thinking
4:30
my mother has been gone
4:38
54 years, and she lived to be 44.
4:43
So she's now been gone longer than she actually lived.
4:49
It's hard to believe.
4:52
It's hard to believe,
4:53
but those of you have lost your mother,
4:55
you know what I'm talking about.
5:00
You learn how to cope, but you don't ever get over it.
5:06
So I just savor those good memories. (chuckles)
5:09
So love and best dishes to all of y'all
5:12
from one mama to another.
