hey friends on today's show I'm not
0:02
cooking right this minute but you know I
0:07
ask people to send me a recipe that
0:10
they'd like to share you know with
0:12
everybody or I just get letters and I've
0:18
been sitting down going through the mail
0:19
and so today I just want to talk about
0:27
the people that I've heard from and it
0:30
just puts this big smile on my face that
0:32
I think if you threw a bucket of water
0:36
in my face I'd still be smiling so I'm
0:39
gonna start with the first one y'all and
0:41
this is from Lisa and she tells me she
0:52
said your Apollo you have so brightened
0:54
my time during quarantine I have loved
0:56
following you for many years she says
1:00
she's never been a banana pudding fan
1:03
because she doesn't like the texture of
1:04
the bananas after they've set in the
1:06
dish for a while and I feel the same way
1:10
as you Lisa about that when that banana
1:12
start turning brown I'm not too crazy
1:16
about it but she told me that last night
1:21
she was with her family for the first
1:23
time it was the first time my
1:26
grandchildren had been to my house is
1:28
all this started well I made nacho
1:32
Mama's banana pudding without bananas
1:36
opting to let them put as much or it's
1:41
little fresh sliced bananas in the
1:44
dishes they enjoyed it she said it was a
1:48
huge
1:49
CAPITAL LETTERS huge hit and they said
1:53
they renamed it we dubbed it no Nana
1:56
puddin and Lisa I think that is genius
2:01
and you know what I think I'm gonna
2:04
start doing the same thing because you
2:07
can slice your banana squeeze a little
2:09
lemon juice on them and they won't get
2:11
brown
2:11
you know right away so and you can you
2:16
can cut slice as many as you need thank
2:19
you girl
2:20
you know I just love learning from
2:24
everybody in hearing what everybody else
2:26
does I know what I do but I love hearing
2:29
what y'all do alright now the let next
2:32
letter is from Paula Mathis and she said
2:38
I want to thank you so much for your
2:39
YouTube video videos you really put a
2:41
smile on my face I am a nurse who works
2:44
night shifts so I'm usually too tired to
2:47
cook work is more stressful than you can
2:52
imagine
2:53
and so let me say right here Paula my
2:57
hat is so off to all of y'all out in the
3:00
medical fields I've always held y'all in
3:08
in high regard but the way y'all have
3:12
all come to the forefront of the line
3:15
with this virus going on you know the
3:19
whole world thanks you for being who you
3:23
are in doing what you do because I
3:27
understand that every time you go to
3:30
that hospital that you're putting your
3:34
own life on the line so thank you thank
3:36
you so much for your unselfish
3:43
contribution to this crazy crazy world
3:48
she said I have two questions do you
3:51
have any tips I'm cooking in a small
3:53
kitchen well Paula let me tell you when
3:59
I started the bag lady
4:01
in 1989 I got me a business license but
4:07
I prepared all the food at home I didn't
4:11
have a dishwasher I had a little t90
4:13
kitchen
4:15
and I had like this much counter space
4:18
and I prepared meals for up to 300
4:24
people in that tiny kitchen I looking
4:28
back I don't know how I did it I don't
4:32
know how I did it but I did have my
4:35
husband build me a wooden it was a slab
4:41
of wood and like a 2x4 here and a 2x4
4:46
here that sat on top of my stove and
4:49
that was my counter space so after I
4:51
turned off my stove that became my
4:54
counter space ah so I feel your pain
4:58
girl lord have mercy
5:03
maybe if your husband could build you a
5:05
little drop drop leaf table you know on
5:08
the wall and let it drop down you pull
5:10
it out
5:11
stand it up when you're in the kitchen
5:15
cooking I don't know but I think she
5:19
said I know what I was thinking when I
5:20
bought this house and then she asked me
5:25
what I consider a real southern meal
5:27
your coin casserole is already on my
5:29
radar
5:29
honey that coin casserole is out of this
5:33
world and it don't take much room to put
5:38
that coin casserole together but to me a
5:40
real southern meal is fried chicken rice
5:45
and gravy corn butter beans collard
5:49
greens sweet potato yams black-eyed peas
