Always fashionable. Carson Presley is going to be making a raspberry sherry trifle

Look at you, baby. Who's a little beater? Beverly Hills 90210. Cutie Jason Priestley is going to be making stuffed filet mignon with Irish potato salad

It's pretty good, Paula Dees. I know. Mm-hmm. Plus, from Ugly Betty, Mark in delicato

he's going to be making a seafood pot pie. You are so stinking cute

So y'all sit back, put that remote control down, and let's party

Hello

Oh, my goodness. Y'all got my heart to beating so hard. And are y'all some lucky folks today

Because you know what? is going on here in my kitchen. It's all about TV hotties

We have got some great guests. And I have to tell you

my very first guest coming out today is one of my favorite buddies

that's, like, in the show business. Carson Kressley, what can I say

How are you? Oh, sorry. Here

I think my bra broke. I didn't bust your bra, did I

That's what I do now. All kinds of bra stuff. Listen, I'm great

How are you? I'm great. How are you? You look fabulous. No, you look fabulous

New York suits you. Listen, I hear you're making people look great naked

I am. Do you want to come on the show? No. You could really show the world your hoe cakes

Could you pull up my Spanx? You kind of pulled them down a little bit

Here, let me just give a little hoist. Okay. Okay. How are the girls

The girls are great. They don't get out much anymore, though. Sometimes just, you know, just bend down and freshen them up

Oh, Carson. Oh, Paula. I'm so excited. I'm so excited. I have a new nickname for you

Why? Since we're in New York, I think we should call you Petey. Paula Deen, just P-D

Like Puff Daddy. Or you could be P. Dini. I could be P. Dini

That's kind of magical. What are we making here? Listen, something very special for you because..

Thank you. I wanted it to be beautiful. Okay. I wanted it to be tasty

Okay. And I still like it. This is sounding like you. No, it's you

No. It's all about you, honey. Stop it. Okay. So I decided that I would make you a raspberry sherry trifle

Oh, my gosh. And you know what I heard? That sounds so gay

A raspberry sherry trifle? Did you make that just for me? Honey, I can make a pork shoulder

We can do something butch. Okay? But if you want to do the trifle..

Somebody told me. Carson came back and said it was really too gay of a raspberry fish

Yeah, yeah. I don't want it to ruin my image. But we can trifle it out if we want to trifle it

Yes, I mean, I just think this is a great dish. It's colorful

Mm-hmm. Like you are. And like my shirt. So let's get started

Okay, how do we do it? Now, the reason I love this recipe, y'all, the reason I love making trifles is because you can cheat

Oh, excellent. You can start with a cake mix. You can go to the grocery store and buy a frozen pound cake

Okay. You can go to the grocery store and buy an angel food cake. You can really have this dessert together quickly

Okay. So we're going to start with a cake mix. Okay. And we're going to go just by the directions on the box

So you actually have to go to the store and buy this. Yes. Oh, my God, that's so much work

I'm exhausted. I know it. You know what? In New York City, it ain't easy to go to the grocery store

No, you know what? But they'll deliver. They will? Yes, anything you want

Well, I... Cake mix. No. Here, take this beater, honey. All of it

You can even have a beater sent to your house. Uh-uh. Yes. All right, now, I'm going to add your eggs

Look at that butter. I don't know how much it calls for, but that looks like a stick. A stick looks about right to me

So beat it, baby. Should we beat it? Beat it. Okay. We'll start out slowly

All right. Now, this calls for water. The butter log is a little hard to beat

No, it was softened, wasn't it? Okay. No, look at me. Look at you being it

Who's a little beater? Who's a little beater? I am, Paula. I am

Now, whenever I'm with you, I start talking Southern. I don't know why

I'm Southern by association. You know, folks have a tendency to do that when they're around me

Yeah. It's good. I like it. All right, now, instead of the water, Carson, we're going to replace it with sherry

With liquor. I heart you. And the sherry is going to really give it a nice flavor

Okay. So what have you been doing? I've been doing women. I know

Newsflash. I have a new show on Lifetime. I did not know you were doing women

I am. It's called How to Look Good Naked. Could you make me look good naked

Of course I could. You should come on the show sometime. How

I photoshopped. No, what we do is we, you know, undress you in front of the..

Come on, turn that beater up, baby. We undress you in front of the mirror and get you all loving your body

I would slap you in. And then we do a nude photo shoot. And you could, like, put a spatula here and, like, a frying pan there, and it'd be very tasteful

You know what? Give me that beater, honey. I'm just a beataholic. Okay

Who wants to lick my spatula? Guys. Now, take this and put in that because we got to get this in the oven

Now, we're going to bake this at 350 for 20 minutes. Here, let me put it up here so you can reach it

Thank you, Aunt Paula. I was taught that it was okay if I ate out of my bowls when I was growing up

Me too. All right, so hurry, honey. And I turned out perfectly fine. You are perfect

You are perfect. Thank you. And you're certainly my perfect guest for today's show topic

Thank you. TV hotties. Don't go anywhere, y'all. We'll be right back

Next, a big ol' bite of trifle and even more Carson. And later, the Beverly Hills star

and a Beverly Hills recipe, stuffed filet mignon. Would you take that off, please, girl

Hey, y'all! Woo, woo, woo, woo. Say what you can do in New York

Come on. You know what? I think you can do anything in New York

Welcome back, y'all. I here today with my TV cuties Oh stop One of my favorites Carson Kressley and we whipping up a raspberry sherry trifle Exactly Exactly

I love you. I love you too. Y'all, we're going to make just kind of a normal custard

Okay. We're going to take sherry. Oh, more liquor. I love it

More liquor. This is really gay. We're going to take egg yolks. We're going to take sugar

Okay. And we're just going to beat that and let it cook for about eight minutes until it's thick

about the consistency of mayonnaise, and then we'll take it off and let it cool

Right. Because we're going to add some fresh whipped cream to this

And as you know, hot custard would break the whipped cream down

Oh, the trouble with hot custard, Paula. I could write a book on that

I know it. So finish telling me. Oh, wait, so we're going to put the whipped cream into the custard

Yes. Should I stir it in? Actually, what I'd like for you to do, Carson, is kind of fold it

Well, fold it. Gently fold it. Yes, we want to gently fold it. I'm folding

Yes, you are folding. Gently folding. Now, we're going to take our cake, and we're just going to cut it into cubes

You don't even have to cut it. You can just tear it. Okay. You know, but if you're, you know, wanting to be precise, you cut it into about an inch and a half cubes

We're making like big cake croutons. Cake tons. Yes. Cake tons. Cake tons. Exactly. Yes

Like they make in New Orleans. Yes. Where are you originally from

I am from Allentown, Pennsylvania. Yes. A big horseman, y'all. Yes. Did y'all know he raises horses

I do. I just had a baby. I heard you just had a baby. I heard it was just like you. Not me personally

Not like the guy on Oprah, the pregnant man. But no, my horse had a baby

That's great. Oh, it's gruesome, though, when they're coming out. Oh, you don't want to see that

It's like making sausage. Let me ask you this. Let me ask you this

Is the horse cussing and crying and yelling? It's not fun. You know

You've popped a couple out. That's why I'm asking if they was cussing. And speaking of which, how are the boys

The boys are great. Oh, they're dreamy. I just love that. The boys are great

And little baby Jack. Thank you for asking. He's doing great. Well, I always like to check on your peeps

Yes. Okay. All right. So, y'all, it's time to start putting our trifle together, Carson. Okay

So, we've got our cake. Right. Oh, this is so easy. Listen, it's so simple

You know, down in the South, we make so many trifles. Oh, gosh. Because I've actually made trifles from, like, my leftover gooey butter cakes

Should I have one left over? Okay. Or brownies. Which I ordered one of those gooey cakes

What are you? A gooey gutter cake? A gooey gutter cake. And I was like, this tastes like a gutter

I don't know. No, the gooey butter cakes. I got one for the holidays. Did you really? I did

I ordered it to my friend. I hope you ordered coconut. I think I ordered, like, a molasses kind or something

It was really brown. Molasses? I don't make them molasses. Well, you sure it was mine

Maybe it was the other Paula Deen. Maybe it was your evil twin

No, you probably ordered the regular one. I think I did. All right, so now we've got our cake, we've got our fruit

I have a name, Paula. I'm not just our fruit. It's Carson. Okay

Let's put a layer of that, honey. That looks so good. Doesn't it look good

And if you don't like raspberries, you can use brushed strawberries. Could you use blueberries

Yeah, blueberries, any kind of fruit you want. Tell me about your love life

Are you dating? Well, actually, I just got big from Australia. And, yeah, the extent's good, right

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Did I over-layer? No, honey, you're perfect. I did meet somebody really cute and handsome in Australia

Did you really? But you might as well date someone on the lunar space station if you're going to date someone on a different continent

Yeah. Yeah, because it's like four in the morning. What are you doing? Oh, sleeping? Okay

I'll tell you later. All right. Help me get some more cake on here. Okay, more cake. So how often do y'all get to see each other

He's 35. How old are you? I'm older than that. Well, you don't look it

I'm 38, yeah. Oh, no, are you kidding me? You know what, I use good skincare products

and moisturize and moisturize for days. Do you remember that day we were on Oprah

I loved that. Oh, can you pick up that cream and salvage it for me, please

Hold on. That day we were on Oprah, and one of the new products that they were trying to sell

was that eye shadow, you know, where we just put that paper up there and rubbed it off

It was so easy. I was so jealous that shadow looked beautiful on you

It looked good on you, too. No, it was much prettier on you, honey. No, no

All right, I've got some of that. And if I'm ever in a pinch, I just slip it on

Oh, do you really? Look at that. Look at that. That looks amazing. And look how easy

So easy. Are we going to eat it now? Yes, we're going to eat it now

Jason Priestley is here. Come on out, Jason. Michael, I'm just kidding

I'm only kidding. Thank you. Thank you for coming This is great Everybody so up close and personal here Yes Yes This is like one of my favorite things to do is to be able to get up close to my friends and look them in the eye

And you are so cute. You're very kind. Blue eyes. No, I'm not

How about your blue eyes? Look at you. Fantastic. I love it

Uh-huh. I do too. Oh, my God. We got to cook before I... Yeah

All right, so now wait. What are you doing? I brought you a chef's coat

Oh, okay. This is from my... I know you like fast cars and I like racing and everything

I do. These are the chef's coats from my IndyCar race team

Are you kidding me? Rubicon Racing. So I brought you one, too, so we can look very professional while we're cooking today

Absolutely. All right. So anyway, you know, you're really a man's man

Well, I try. Yes. I try. You do a lot of things that..

That men like to do? Yes, that men like to do. And so I have selected a real manly dish for you

I'm going to make you some filet mignon bites. Okay. And we're going to stuff these with one of my favorite ingredients in the kitchen, and that's cream cheese

So what we're going to do... I love the murmur that just went through

Everybody's like, mmm. Yes, my friends are like me. They love cream cheese

They love butter. They love mayonnaise. Right. And what is your saying when you melt a stick of butter and everything

What do you like to say? You know, Oprah asked me that. And she said, what do you say about all your folks out there that say what you do is really not all that healthy

You know, I told her, listen, I'm your cook, not your doctor. You know, don't make me responsible for that

We all have to be accountable, you know, for ourselves. So, did I get it wrong

Yes, go, go. It's so nice to have a man around the house, y'all

All right, now we're going to just... All right, now what did you put in there

Sun-dried tomatoes? Oh, it was so easy. It was sun-dried tomatoes that we had softened in a little olive oil

cream cheese, and basil. Right, and a little pepper. No, we got to put our salt and pepper, yes

Right, which is here and here. That's a lot of salt. No, we're not going to use it all. Okay

All right, so let's just do, like, that much salt. Pinch salt, pinch pepper

Do you like hot stuff? Oh, yeah. Okay. Yes. Okay. All right

That's a good thing I'm keeping this on track, right? Sometimes I cannot focus, especially when there's good-looking men

You know, all right. Would you take that off, please, son? Of course

How long has the show been off the air now? Not until it was, but off the air for eight years

Has it been? Well, it's probably reruns, a lot of reruns, isn't it

It is. It is on the reruns. But I've done three other series, four other series

I stay very busy. So, well, here, honey, you're going to have to help me if we're going to get this done before tomorrow

What are we doing now? You have to tell the people at home. We've got filet mignon that we've sliced into like one-eighth inch slices so that they're nice and thin

because we're going to cook these on the grill. And we're going to tuck some pancetta around them

and then we're going to take our toothpicks, Jason, that we've soaked in water so they won't catch on fire

when we put them on the grill. All right, so you just sort of make little pockets around the cream cheese

Yes, around the cream cheese. And I'll spear if you'll stuff. Now, that's pancetta? Cheddar

Yes, it's very much like bacon. It's Italian bacon. Yes, Italian bacon

All right. I heard that y'all used to have the best time on the set of 90210

Yeah, we did. I heard that you and Luke would try to crack each other up, make each other mess up

by taking off your clothes while y'all were doing a scene. Is that true

Yeah, it's true. It's true. Do you still keep in touch with all of them

Yes. Yes, I do. Well, most of them. You know, there's a few of us over the years have gone by the wayside

You know, as I'm sure. I want to hear all about it, honey. Okay. It's time for us to pay that piper

Are you going to pay the bills? Yes, we've got to pay the bills. So don't go anywhere, y'all

We've got more of the great, beautiful, fabulous Jason Priestley. So y'all don't go anywhere

We'll be right back. TV's Hotties. Next, Jason makes his Irish potato salad

Very good. And later, Mark and Delicato is dishing up seafood pot pie

Welcome back. And when we went on break, I was just asking Jason to tell me about some rumors that I heard when he was shooting 90210

I heard that when they were shooting a scene that either he or Luke would be behind them stripping down naked to try to mess the other one up

Well, it's... Is that true? Yeah, yeah, it's all true. It's all true. We would... Would you get totally next

On occasion, yes. These things happen People Why shouldn't I have gotten a little guest spot on it

Well, you know When we do the reunion Paula, I'm sure I could arrange a little something for you

Could you come back and like be your school? Absolutely Absolutely Oh, I would love it

Are these done now? Yes, these are done So you're going to be making

When the people at home are making these How can they tell when they're done? When the cheese actually bubbles up

Well, you don't want the cheese to run out Okay And really depends on how you like your meat

Right. I love my meat medium rare. How do you like yours? Right. I'll take a medium rare, sure

Okay. Well, that's, we're only going to cook them like two minutes. But those steaks were thin. Like, those aren't going to take very long, right

They were very, very thin. No. And like I said, you don't want to cook them so long that you lose your center

Right. Because that center is what's so good. That cream cheese. I love the murmur of the crowd again

Yes. This is like classic, like, Greek theater right here. Like, this is

Yes. You know what I mean? I mean, they're foodies. I'm a foodie. You're a foodie

Yes, I am. And now that you have made the meat, you're going to help me make the potatoes part of this meal, okay

Right. So we're going to make an Irish potato dish called cold cannon. Has anyone ever had cold cannon

Cold cannons. I've never heard of it. So basically, you chop up some potatoes and you steam them and you make mashed potatoes

So I'm going to leave you to make the mashed part of the potatoes, okay? So milk and butter

I know you know what to do with butter and milk. Yes, I do. And salt and pepper and make mashed potatoes, right

Yeah, so just a very classic mashed potato. Right. I can do that, honey

Should we turn this off so we don't scold anyone over here? All right

And then can I take some of this butter here For what Can I just steal some of your butter here Because what I have to do over here is Well you can have more now if you need it Can I Is that all right Yes Do you need more

I know how you feel about butter. No, that's okay. What I have here is shallots, and we'll throw those right in there, and leeks

So there's, you know, the amounts are, you know, you guys will figure these out on Paula's website

Well, you know, yeah, you can always go to foodnetwork.com. Right, right. And then you throw the shallots

You shallots and leeks, and you cook these down. I want to talk to you about racing

I know that y'all all know that Jason was involved in really a deadly car accident

Yeah, it was a big one. It wasn't that deadly because I'm still here. But you were actually dead for like nine seconds, weren't you

About 90 seconds. Yeah, it was a flat line for a while

I know that that frightens your family's slap slum to death. Were you

Were you? What's wrong? So you were in a semi-coma, weren't you

No, no, not in a semi-coma. You were in a coma? No, I wasn't in a coma

You weren't? No, I was... Oh, my gosh, you do so need so much butter

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Not that. You're going to put me in a coma now

Oh, no. Oh, good Lord. It's perfect. And look up here. I'm going to use the rest over here, Jason

Wow. Do you eat healthy, Jason? Well, I used to. This is kale

Yes. So you dump that in there, and we're just going to cook this down until it's soft and wilted but still bright green

Okay. What's in this pot right here, Jason? Well, that's... Oh, that's already done

Wow, it's already done. No, but I haven't put the Napa cabbage in yet

Oh, but I love Napa cabbage. Now we put the Napa cabbage in

All right, so tell me about your racing team. This year, my partner and I, Jim Prudenberg, we're putting a car in the Indy 500

We're very excited about that. Are you really? I know that you love racing, and you love being in fast cars and driving fast

Yes, I do. I've seen... I mean, I'm scared. I squeal like a girl. But I still kind of like it

My sleeves are getting in my way. How are those potatoes going? I don't know. You tell me. Are they done

Mm. You're like, oh, this is pretty good. How much butter did you put? Well, I don't have to ask

And you know what? I didn't have enough. Look at that. Look at that

Look at that. I love TV kitchen fairies. You know, you know, you know, you know they went and stole that from Bobby Flay's set, right

I love Bobby. Do you love Bobby? I do. He's a pretty good chef

He's nothing compared to you, though. I see. I see that. All right, so

Oh, you say the nicest things. All right, so this is what it looks like when it's getting close to being done

Yes. Yes, it looks great. Right. And? I still haven't figured out what we're doing

And magically, that's what it pretty much looks like when it's done

Did you salt and pepper it? What you got that nutmeg for? Well, here's what we do with the nutmeg

Where's the salt and pepper? Right here, honey. Yeah, salt and pepper. I'm C-Y-ing you

Good. Thank you. I appreciate that. Why don't you get up and start taking your clothes off so Jason don't feel like I'm in it

Get him tickled. Everybody would run off. Everybody would run. I wouldn't

Now, this is the secret ingredient. This is nutmeg. Nutmeg. Don't you love fresh nutmeg

I love fresh nutmeg. So I tend to use about a half a fresh nut in this

Yeah, because I love the, because I just love them. Because nutmeg is a very, very strong spice, y'all

Yeah. So you're really going to get that flavor in there. Yeah, this really just sets it off, I think

Just like that. Wow. Yep. Okey-doke. There you go. Now what do we do

Then what you do is you just sort of mix this up. Put it all together. Stir it up

We're going to make balls? Nope. You just stir it all up, and that's it

Oh, you don't make balls? No, no, no, no. Yeah, you were getting all excited

We're going to make balls. We're going to deep fry, and it's going to be awesome. We're just going to wrap them in some bacon

Oh, and this is it. You mix it all up. Mix them really well together

Uh-huh. And that's it. You know how I'd like to do it? What would you like to do? With your hands

It's not too hot. Yep. See, I'd like to do them like that

These are great little utensils you got hooked to your arms. Ow

Is it hot? Well, that one was. I got a little close to the bottom of the pot, you know

Is it good? That's good. Bless them. Is it good? Yes, it's delicious

All right, here. I want you to taste my meat. All right

Like, we get a lot of bloopers and outtakes when we're doing the show, y'all

I know you find that hard to believe. Well. But there's a lot of stuff laying on the edit room floor that will never, ever be seen by anybody but us

We do sing a lot on our off time. Do you? Like when we're waiting for the next shot, we do sing, and we're often told to be quiet

Because, you know, I'm very loud, and I have to express myself, and being loud is the way I express myself

All right. Now, we have cooked our vegetables, kind of. Normalize them a little bit

Yeah, just a little bit. You know, we don't want to overcook them, Mark. So if you would now sprinkle in that flour All right And that going to make our sauce real thick in that pie So anyway I hear that you have an obsession

I'm a video game nut. All right, now we're going to put in a little Creole seasoning

Doesn't that smell so good? And this is cream that we're putting in there
