- [Paula] Eddie just said something
0:01
that it reminded me of...
0:05
Who, who did our..
0:08
- [Eddie] Our counters?
0:09
- Uh-huh.
0:10
- [Eddie] Uh, Ralph Chapman with Creative Stone.
0:13
- Ralph Chapman with Creative Stone.
0:15
I just have to say that those folks are so good.
0:19
Ralph really cares
0:22
about his final product
0:23
And, um, my first countertop that was in here
0:27
he knew it wasn't right.
0:29
Uh, that the,
0:30
what hit the did the material done it.
0:32
- [Eddie] It It was, um, courtside and it was,
0:35
it was, uh, warping, I mean,
0:37
I mean it's a very
0:38
- Yeah
0:39
- [Eddie] it's a very hard stone but it had
0:40
- Yeah, it was warping.
0:42
And, um, Ralph said "You know we we can't have this,
0:47
I want the project to be perfect."
0:52
So, uh, they couldn't get him on that stone
0:54
so they asked me to come out and
0:56
pick out another one.
0:56
Is that right, Eddie?
0:58
- [Eddie] Yeah, well, the ones were picking out
1:00
were were having the same issues.
1:02
- Having the same issue, so,
1:03
- [Eddie] So we different,
1:05
- So Ralph said,
1:06
- [Eddie] different direction (laughs)
1:07
- Just go in a all new direction.
1:10
So, um, seventeen years ago when we built this house
1:14
I put in this soap stone.
1:17
And I liked it soap stone is beautiful.
1:21
In fact, you can see some of the original,
1:23
uh, soap stone is in the pantry.
1:27
And, um, its been there since the house was built,
1:30
so, you know what I decided what the heck
1:32
I'm just going back with soap stone
1:34
because I know that I like that,
1:36
and it was good,
1:38
but, um, when they, when they finished
1:41
putting it together,
1:41
Eddie and I looked at it and I said
1:44
Eddie...
1:50
that um, (laughs)
1:52
- [Eddie] Paint color
1:53
- The island needs to be painted white. (laughs)
1:56
And he said, you know I totally agree with you Paula.
2:00
Because it was like dark and dark
2:02
So, we'll get around to painting the bottom white.
2:06
One day won't we? (laughs)
2:09
Someday we are going to get it done.
2:11
But in case you think,
2:12
what's different about her kitchen,
2:14
that's what it is,
2:15
it is soap stone.
2:17
So, anyway,
2:19
um, you know it is strawberry season.
2:22
Eddie was telling me up where his mother
2:24
lives in New Hampshire,
2:26
there's, she's probably got another month
2:28
before strawberries come in.
2:31
They have like plant city flora,
2:32
I mean, the strawberries are just...
2:36
scrumptious!
2:38
And, um, so in this issues magazine
2:43
look, uh, there's a story about my surprise
2:47
birthday party that was thrown for me.
2:52
And, uh, you see on the cover,
2:57
I want to show you all,
2:59
is this issue still out Eddie?
3:01
- [Eddie] It's just coming out right now.
3:02
- Oh, just coming out, good.
3:05
- [Eddie] This is...
3:06
- I don't mean to brag but
3:08
this is a wonderful magazine y'all
3:10
it is so so good.
3:13
Uh, you know, just really family friendly recipes.
3:19
So, uh, this is the story
3:22
on my surprise birthday party.
3:25
And I want to show you that,
3:33
that was my cake.
3:36
Totally edible!
3:39
And the flowers, uh,
3:42
I mean that's not glass,
3:45
that's cake!
3:46
It's all cake!
3:48
And, uh, I just could not get over it.
3:52
In fact, I said,
3:54
Eddie we've got to save those flowers.
3:56
So, we took them out and they are know
3:58
in the china cabinet.
4:01
You want to show them how,
4:02
what we did with them, Eddie?
4:04
(footstep sounds)
4:06
- [Paula] And the ladies that made the cake
4:11
uh, said they would last until the year.
4:14
You know what,
4:14
they're not as pink now as they were.
4:17
- [Eddie] Yeah, yeah.
4:17
- [Paula] The color, they they kind of turning white.
4:20
- [Eddie] I have a feeling once the humidity
4:22
hits here they may...
4:23
- [Paula] Yeah, yeah.
4:23
- [Eddie] They may be going away. (laughs)
4:25
- [Paula] But Bonnie Bedingfield, uh,
4:28
and Eliane Drewin.
4:31
- [Eddie] Elaine make the flowers
4:33
and Bonnie made the cake.
4:34
- [Paula] Uh ah.
4:36
Yes.
4:37
So, those two girls are located, um,
4:41
around the Atlanta area.
4:43
- [Eddie] I'm thinking Newnan?
4:44
- Newnan?
4:45
- [Eddie] Newnan, Georgia?
4:46
- [Paula] They are so incredibly good!
4:48
And naturally Sissy Bubbles.
4:50
Uh, told Michael and Eddie about these girls
4:56
and Susan arranged for them
4:58
to delivery the cake to me.
5:02
And it sat right over there and I,
5:04
I just, I was just floored.
5:07
All those folks surprised me.
5:10
But I hope y'all can find an issue.
5:13
And Peggy came.
5:17
Oh, we had a good time.
5:19
But if you see this magazine and
5:21
you interested in seeing about the surprise party
5:24
you go pick that up.
5:25
Plus, it is full of great recipes,
5:27
in fact, um, I'm fixing a recipe today,
5:32
from this magazine, and um,
5:36
it's kind of a salute to strawberry season.
5:40
Alright, so I'm watching this
5:43
over here,
5:44
this one does not go all the way up to 350,
5:47
that candy thermometer.
5:48
It's so old.
5:50
But so anyway, this is very very simple
5:53
to put together.
5:54
I've got one and three fourths cup
5:56
of all purpose flour.
6:00
No, it's self rising,
6:01
I'm sorry.
6:02
One and a fourth cups of sugar,
6:04
but that's divided.
6:06
I've got one cup over here that
6:07
I'm going to use later.
6:08
So, a fourth of a cup of sugar.
6:14
Into our self rising flour.
6:19
And, I think it's a half a teaspoon,
6:22
fourth of a teaspoon of salt.
6:25
And...
6:27
One and a fourth teaspoons of cinnamon
6:29
divided so, uh, about a fourth of a teaspoon
6:34
is going into our actual batter.
6:39
And we are just going to blend that together.
6:42
(stirring sounds)
6:43
(glass clanging)
6:46
(egg cracking)
6:48
And we are going to put in one egg.
6:53
(whisking sound)
6:55
And we're just going to try to beat it up
6:56
a little bit in this
6:58
little bitty bowl.
7:06
And we've got three fourths of a cup,
7:10
two thirds of a cup,
7:11
of buttermilk.
7:13
(stirring sound)
7:18
So, we're just going to stir that all together.
7:21
I'm worried about my...
7:26
My oil over here getting too hot.
7:32
I would fry 'em in my deep fryer
7:35
but I hate to do that because
7:37
I don't think most people
7:39
have a deep fryer, so...
7:44
I want to do this just like
7:47
you would be doing if you're doing it in your house.
7:51
Plus I'm not crazy about that air,
7:52
that deep fryer. (laughs)
7:58
Okay, so this batter's going to be stiff.
8:02
And, I am,
8:05
using naturally fresh strawberries
8:08
for these fritters.
8:09
(stirring sounds)
8:14
And, uh,
8:16
(glass clanging sounds)
8:21
Now I'm going to fold in
8:23
one cup of fresh strawberries.
8:26
That have been cut up and, uh,
8:31
drained or dried.
8:35
You want to just dry them off before,
8:36
you, start dicing them.
8:40
(stirring sounds)
8:44
Oh, it looks good, good!
8:46
And it smells so good!
8:47
You smell the strawberries, Eddie?
8:48
- [Eddie] Mmm hmm!
8:49
- [Paula] All right, I want to make sure
8:51
I've got everything right,
8:52
ready when these come up.
8:55
All right, I'm going to get me some cold water.
9:00
(water rushing)
9:03
So, hopefully,
9:07
I'll be able to,
9:09
Okay, so I think,
9:11
this candy thermometer just goes up to 300.
9:15
Which is a hard crack.
9:18
So...
9:21
All right, we're going to need something
9:22
to drain these on, Theresa.
9:24
- [Theresa] Okay.
9:25
- [Paula] Um, please.
9:29
(banging pot sounds)
9:32
- [Theresa] Do you want something like this to go over it?
9:35
- [Theresa] Are you just going to...
9:36
- Yeah, that that that, would be good.
9:38
Or I can just drain it on the paper towels.
9:43
Okay, and then, uh,
9:46
- [Theresa] Do you need a bigger bowl to roll the?
9:47
- No, I don't think so.
9:49
- [Theresa] Okay.
9:50
- I'm going to go ahead and, uh,
9:53
add my cinnamon.
9:54
A teaspoon of cinnamon to the cup of flour.
9:58
I mean, cup of sugar.
10:00
(stirring sounds)
10:02
- [Paula] And this is what we are
10:04
going to roll our fritters in.
10:06
(stirring sounds)
10:09
(spoon clanging on glass)
10:11
Okay, so I'm going to get my spoon
10:13
in water and hopefully this
10:17
batter will come out all right off the spoon.
10:20
(spoon clanging in glass)
10:22
(sizzling sounds)
10:31
Looking good!
10:35
(spoon clanging in glass)
10:38
(sizzling sounds)
10:39
Oh, thank you, I, uh,
10:40
this is where I make my hush puppies.
10:43
If you water your spoon down every time.
10:49
Uh...
10:54
And you'll want to start turning these pretty quickly.
10:57
Because if you don't, they got top heavy.
11:01
(sizzling sounds)
11:04
And they don't want to stay flipped over.
11:07
So, see what I'm saying?
11:10
If you've ever...
11:11
Put up, (laughs),
11:13
turning back over.
11:16
These are going to have to stay buddy,
11:17
on that side, sorry.
11:19
(sizzling sounds)
11:25
And you too.
11:28
Uh, they look so good!
11:31
(sizzling sounds)
11:40
So good!
11:41
All right, now, our instructions tell us
11:43
to, um, cook them for about four minutes.
11:51
(sizzling sounds)
11:51
And I'm going to cook them
11:52
in kind of small batches
11:54
so that I don't have to wait so long
11:57
before I start turning them.
11:59
(sizzling sounds)
12:03
Yum!
12:06
You know what,
12:07
these would be good with a glaze.
12:11
That would taste like a strawberry donut, wouldn't it?
12:14
(sizzling sounds)
12:19
So if y'all do that let me know, okay? (laughs)
12:23
I'm going to want to know how it
12:24
turns out if you decide to glaze them
12:26
instead of rolling them in the cinnamon sugar.
12:33
Mm, look at that y'all!
12:35
- [Theresa] Those are so pretty!
12:36
- I say its been four minutes.
12:37
And you can, uh,
12:40
make these kind of any size you want.
12:43
(glass clanging)
12:47
In the book we recommend,
12:49
just a scant...
12:51
under a fourth of a cup.
12:57
Now that was a good bit.
13:01
Okay, so those should be all I need
13:03
to be cooling off for me to, yeah,
13:05
it's cool enough for me to touch.
13:10
- [Theresa] I timed it.
13:10
- [Paula] Yeah, yeah, oh good!
13:13
Yeah, just keep flipping those Theresa,
13:16
or either change places with me and
13:20
roll, what you want to do?
13:22
- [Theresa] I'll flip if you want to
13:24
- [Paula] Okay.
13:27
It don't matter to me cause it's all got to get done.
13:30
(mixing sounds)
13:45
Those look good enough to eat!
13:47
- [Theresa] Yeah.
13:47
- My Grandma used to make up fritters.
13:52
She would make apple fritters and,
13:55
- [Theresa] And you could make this look,
13:56
could you pretty much use the same recipe
13:57
and change out your?
13:58
- Oh, yeah.
14:00
- [Theresa] First
14:01
- Yes.
14:05
I'm a glutton for punishment
14:07
but I'm going try to finish.
14:11
Use up all that batter.
14:16
- [Theresa] Those are beautiful!
14:17
- [Paula] Aren't they beautiful.
14:20
- [Theresa] Think the babies will eat one?
14:22
- I bet they would.
14:24
If their Momma would turn her back. (laughs)
14:28
So I could give them to them! (laughs)
14:33
I think all the babies would.
14:35
I know Davis would.
14:36
Davis has got a sweet tooth on you
14:39
(Eddie laughs)
14:39
like you wouldn't believe.
14:41
He comes in and he says "suck suck" "suck suck".
14:46
He's looking for gimmes.
14:47
Jar of suckers.
14:49
(Theresa laughs)
14:51
I said well I'm your biggest sucker. (laughs)
14:55
(stirring sounds)
14:58
Okay, Eddie,
15:01
do I have you takers to taste with me?
15:08
- [Eddie] Oh yeah!
15:09
- [Theresa] I'll hold the camera.
15:10
- [Eddie] I think I can hold it.
15:10
(Paula laughs)
15:12
- [Theresa] Ohh!
15:12
He ain't giving up control, honey. (laughs)
15:15
- [Theresa] He don't want his face on the camera.
15:16
- Do you want a hotter one?
15:18
Or do you want one that is cool down?
15:19
- [Eddie] I'll take a cooler one.
15:21
- [Paula] Okay, I'll take the hotter one.
15:23
- [Theresa] Be careful.
15:25
(biting sounds)
15:26
(chewing sounds)
15:31
- [Eddie] It's good.
15:33
- It is good.
15:35
- [Eddie] Mmm hmm.
15:38
- So next time I'll try with a glaze.
15:45
And then the next time I'll try
15:50
confection sugar.
15:53
You know?
15:54
- [Theresa] And blurberries?
15:55
- Just dusty, uh,
15:56
blueberries would be one.
15:57
- [Theresa] Right after Easter.
15:59
- [Paula] Uh ha.
16:06
- Mmm, mmm, look at the mess I've made.
16:10
You like it, Eddie?
16:11
- [Eddie] Yeah, it's very good.
16:13
(Paula laughs)
16:13
- [Theresa] He can't eat and film at the same time.
16:15
(Paula laughs)
16:16
Loving best dishes y'all.
