- Hey, y'all, I'm back to Paula's
0:03
quarantine cooking shows, but you know what?
0:06
I think we're going to have to find another name
0:08
for the show because I truly feel
0:11
like we're on the tail end of our quarantine.
0:15
Hopefully very soon our problems are going to be over
0:18
with, but I'm not gonna stop my cooking shows
0:23
because I have loved reconnecting with y'all again.
0:27
And I get so many cards, so many letters
0:30
so many recipes, and I love each and every one of y'all.
0:34
And I love the fact that we are conversing.
0:40
So let's think of a new name.
0:43
Okay. Y'all help me, help me.
0:46
So I am going to start off.
0:49
I'm going to get this started, and then we're going to talk.
0:53
You want to talk, Theresa?
0:56
- [Theresa] Let's talk. - We're all talk.
0:59
Alright, now where's my other sheet.
1:01
I had another sheet.
1:02
I don't know what I did with it
1:04
- [Theresa] This one, but it's the same.
1:05
- Oh, it's the same thing.
1:07
- [Theresa] Yes ma'am.
1:07
- That may be a little easier for me to read.
1:13
I'm going to make a chocolate chess pie today.
1:16
And this recipe and request was sent in
1:20
from Stacy Thompson.
1:23
And this, this pie was served at the Angus Barn
1:29
in Raleigh, North Carolina, and Stacy loves this pie.
1:36
So she was gracious, gracious enough to send me the recipe
1:44
and she's tweaked it a little bit.
1:45
So I'm going to make it just like Stacy does.
1:48
And like I said, I so appreciate y'all's recipes.
1:54
I just like, I like hearing what, what y'all like out there
1:58
and what y'all are doing.
2:00
So I'm going to put a stick
2:02
and a half of butter in
2:08
a double ball or whatever.
2:11
Thank you.
2:12
Whatever kind of pot you're using.
2:16
And that's like I said, that's over boiling water.
2:20
And so we go melt our butter.
2:24
Our, let's see, how much Theresa.
2:25
I can't even remember.
2:27
An ounce and a half
2:29
of unsweetened Baker's chocolate.
2:35
And then Stacy said that she added this to the recipe.
2:41
A handful of Ghirardelli's unsweetened chocolate.
2:46
I think bittersweet, bittersweet chocolate.
2:49
She said,
2:50
cause she just wanted a little bit richer than what it was.
2:55
So we got richer.
2:58
Alright. So.
2:59
We just gonna let that melt,
3:01
and all I have to do is just stir it occasionally.
3:06
We'll turn that down a little bit.
3:07
Cause you know, we're going to talk.
3:12
What was in that?
3:13
Oh the chocolate.
3:14
I've already put that in there.
3:17
Y'all.
3:19
(chuckling)
3:21
Look at me, I done put on my makeup today.
3:24
- [Theresa] You look so pretty.
3:26
- Oh, well thank you.
3:27
- [Theresa] I told you to tell them how pretty you are.
3:29
- I ain't telling them how pretty I am.
3:31
Cause I don't think I'm all that pretty,
3:34
but I tell you what.
3:36
Powder and paint makes us what we ain't.
3:41
I'm addicted to powder and paint.
3:43
So anyway, how many months now?
3:46
Have, when did life stop for us?
3:49
March? - [Theresa] March, March 17th.
3:51
- March, April, March 17th? - [Theresa] 'Case we had no
3:53
St. Patrick's Day.
3:54
- That's exactly right.
3:56
They cancel St. Patrick's day.
3:58
And you know,
3:59
Savannah has the second largest celebration of
4:01
St. Patrick's day in the United States.
4:04
Second only behind New York city.
4:07
And I think they cancel theirs too, didn't they?
4:09
Yeah. So hopefully we're getting back
4:12
to normal, but that's March,
4:14
April, May, June, July, August, September, seven months.
4:20
- [Theresa] Tell them how your eye's doing.
4:21
- Yes. - [Theresa] Because remember,
4:22
you've been off a little bit for that too.
4:24
- That's what I'm getting to, you know, we've been
4:26
in quarantine for seven months, almost eight months, right?
4:32
Eddie. - [Eddie] Yes.
4:34
- And so when we were quarantined, I started thinking
4:41
about, you know, what can I do to
4:43
just have the ability to pop in to people's phones or iPads
4:48
or computers and just cheer them up a little bit.
4:52
And so Bobby said, mama, please, please do a cooking show
4:59
on YouTube.
5:01
So I asked Gabby, I said, why am I not doing?
5:04
And he said, I don't know.
5:04
Nobody knew why I wasn't doing it.
5:06
We hadn't thought of it.
5:09
So I started doing it.
5:11
And you saw me in a much more casual...
5:17
- [Eddie] Atmosphere. - In my real way,
5:19
in my real self, you know, in my atmosphere.
5:24
So last night I had a two hour show
5:29
with JTV and JTV is jewelry television.
5:36
And I have a line of jewelry that I come on with.
5:44
And so it just got me all hyped up last night.
5:48
What is Emily's last name?
5:49
I can't remember.
5:50
- [Eddie] Peterson. - [Paula] Pierce that's right.
5:52
Emily Pierce. - [Eddie] No, Peterson.
5:55
- Peterson, Emily Peterson.
6:00
One of the most wonderful sweet
6:02
girls you could ever hope to meet does my hair
6:05
and makeup and nobody can do it like Emily.
6:10
Well Emily came in yesterday and did my hair and makeup.
6:14
And I did my show on JTV and it was so nice.
6:19
Cause every day I get up and I look in the mirror
6:22
and I say, oh, Paula, you just got to be butt ugly
6:25
the rest of your life.
6:26
That's just the way it goes.
6:28
You got a bum eye
6:31
that you're not supposed to be putting makeup on.
6:34
So 73 and just butt ugly for life.
6:39
Well, last night, Emily just fixed me
6:43
up and I just almost felt pretty again.
6:48
So I tried to duplicate it today.
6:50
Course it's nothing like Emily does, but you know what?
6:53
I'm just, I'm just forewarning y'all.
6:56
Some days you're going to see me looking
6:59
like I just crawled out of bed
7:02
and some days you're going to see me where I tried to gussy
7:05
up for you.
7:06
But my hope is that you enjoy these enough to put
7:12
up with me being butt ugly straight out of bed day.
7:16
Right? - [Theresa] That's it.
7:18
- Because I've just got no intention to leave y'all.
7:22
Nobody can make me leave except y'all.
7:26
So, ooh, look.
7:32
Look, look, look.
7:35
You know, now a chess pie, y'all.
7:37
I've always thought of a chess pie you know,
7:41
having meal, corn meal, mama used to make them.
7:45
And she, I think she would just sprinkle it on the top
7:49
but you know, this, this recipe does not call for any meal.
7:56
Nope, no meal.
7:58
So I guess chess pie recipes come in
8:01
all different shapes and sizes.
8:04
So I'm going to stop right here and let this finish melting
8:07
and we'll come back to that after it's melted.
8:13
So good to be back.
8:14
But I want to tell y'all I do appreciate
8:16
my sons taking full responsibility of this stove while I was
8:22
out with my eye.
8:24
And, but you know, we're a team, the three of us,
8:27
we're a team.
8:28
So you'll be seeing them right on.
8:31
Okay gang we're back here, back on our
8:35
chocolate chess pie that Stacy Thompson sent me.
8:42
And it's such an easy, easy pie.
8:45
Course chess pies are easy anyway.
8:49
And the only difference in a regular chess and a chocolate
8:53
is you just have to melt your chocolate.
8:55
So, and I am using a store bought pie crust.
9:02
And you know, it, this just works well in my life.
9:07
It cuts a lot (dog toy squeaking)
9:08
of time out and one of the dogs had found their noisy toys.
9:12
So if you hear a lot of squeaking,
9:15
it's not Theresa down there crying.
9:18
(laughing)
9:21
Listen, Max is...
9:23
- [Theresa] Give me that toy!
9:24
- Max is crazy.
9:26
When he gets a toy y'all he won't share it.
9:30
- [Eddie] He's already back around.
9:32
(laughing)
9:33
- Hey Max, hey buddy.
9:39
And listen.
9:41
When the other dogs have a toy,
9:44
like when my children's dogs come over
9:47
and they may have a toy with them, Max will get their toy.
9:52
He'll run, take it off. And then he'll pee on it.
9:54
And then he keeps it
9:56
like, no, you're not getting my toy back. This is my toy.
10:00
Gimme that toy, Max. - [Eddie] Max has issues.
10:03
- Gimme that toy, Max.
10:05
Gimme that toy, gimme that toy.
10:07
Gimme that toy.
10:09
Gimme that toy. (laughing)
10:13
Oh my gosh.
10:14
They have a lot of fun.
10:17
Okay back to our pie. (dog toys squeaking)
10:19
So I have three eggs that are unbeaten
10:25
and I am just gonna,
10:27
and Stacy says to just use the hand mixer
10:32
on this recipe and, and in goes her sugar.
10:41
And remember it calls for one
10:43
and a fourth cup of sugar, I think in the original recipe.
10:48
But Stacy took hers down to one cup.
10:52
So I'm doing this just like Stacy.
10:54
So remember if this pie to your tongue is not sweet enough,
10:58
you're safe to go ahead and add a fourth of a cup
11:01
more of sugar.
11:03
- [Eddie] She added that extra chocolate.
11:04
Maybe that took care of it.
11:05
- She added the extra chocolate.
11:07
Yes. So she felt like she had to take away something.
11:11
Alrighty.
11:15
Let's see.
11:16
Next goes our carob syrup.
11:20
How much is that supposed to be?
11:22
Quarter of a cup.
11:23
- [Theresa] Yes ma'am.
11:26
- Okay, I was thinking I had seen three quarters of a cup
11:30
and I'll give y'all a little tip right here.
11:34
We didn't do it, but it sure does help.
11:38
If you'll spray your measuring cups
11:41
with a nonstick spray before you, before you put honey
11:46
or syrup or anything like that, it's sticky.
11:49
It'll just cause it and flow right out.
11:51
- [Theresa] See, you needed to a good tip.
11:53
- Yes.
11:54
- [Theresa] I was helping you out.
11:56
- All right.
11:58
(mixer whirring)
12:04
Okay. So this is cooled down enough
12:08
that we don't have to worry about tempering our eggs.
12:15
So in goes a melted chocolate and our butter.
12:21
And this is smelling wonderful.
12:25
- [Eddie] Mm-hmm.
12:26
- [Paula] Doesn't it smell good, Eddie?
12:27
- [Eddie] Yes.
12:30
- Yum yum, whoa.
12:34
Get every drop out.
12:37
And then I think it calls for like a half a teaspoon
12:40
of vanilla flavoring.
12:46
I'm trying to put a teaspoon
12:47
'cause I like vanilla flavoring.
12:52
And the recipe Stacy tells us to put this
12:56
in a preheated oven, preheated to 375 degrees.
13:03
But now, you know your oven better than we know it.
13:07
So use your own judgment
13:12
on whether you want to stay at 350 or 375.
13:16
I'm actually starting this one out at 350,
13:20
- [Theresa] But you're gonna be--
13:22
- Yeah, but I've also flipped this oven to convection
13:25
so that will make up.
13:29
So that is it, I spend a lot of time talking.
13:34
If I hadn't have been talking
13:35
we could have made this pie in like two minutes.
13:38
Really.
13:43
This reminds me a little bit
13:44
of our chocolate, gooey butter cakes.
13:49
The way it smells.
13:54
- [Theresa] This has got Eddie's name written all over it.
13:56
- [Paula] All over it. - [Eddie] It does, doesn't it.
13:58
- [Theresa] I almost, I told him I almost had to make two.
14:02
And he was like, well, there's never enough chess pie
14:05
in the house. - [Paula] Uh uh, uh uh.
14:06
- [Theresa] I think he's a little disappointed
14:08
that we only got the one.
14:09
- Between Eddie and Michael and me.
14:11
(phone ringing)
14:12
Excuse me.
14:13
Let me look at the phone.
14:14
It may be, it is, hello?
14:19
- [Man On Speaker] Yes (indistinct)
14:21
- Thank you.
14:22
(beeping) (dogs barking)
14:26
Okay. Excuse me y'all.
14:31
- [Theresa] I was going to say you don't ever leave anything
14:33
in the bowl.
14:35
- I'm trying to get it all y'all.
14:41
I want us to have every bite.
14:44
- [Theresa] Eddie was hoping you were
14:45
going to leave a little bit for him to lick a spoon.
14:46
- [Paula] Oh he was?
14:47
Oh okay, then maybe I won't get that little bit right there.
14:51
Maybe I'll just leave it.
14:56
Okay there, Eddie.
14:57
- [Eddie] She ain't kidding.
14:59
- [Theresa] I'm not kidding. (laughing)
15:01
- No honey. (dog barking)
15:09
What?
15:12
Do we have company?
15:15
Do we have company?
15:20
Alright. Stacy also says she recommends cooking it on a
15:28
on a baking sheet.
15:31
So it just makes it easier when you go to get it out
15:35
of the oven.
15:36
And I totally agree with her.
15:38
I dripped a little chocolate on the crust.
15:41
But I think it's okay. (dogs barking)
15:46
So she tells us to bake it uncovered for 30 minutes.
15:57
Oh my gosh.
15:59
Theresa turned on the oven, but she didn't put it to temp.
16:05
So I don't know.
16:06
I maybe should take it out.
16:09
Yeah. I thought Theresa turned it.
16:11
- [Theresa] I did turn it on, didn't I?
16:12
- It wasn't on, it was on 200.
16:14
- [Eddie] Is this oven on?
16:15
No? - No.
16:17
This one was turned on, but it was just turned
16:21
on at 200 degrees, you know, where (laughing).
16:24
- [Theresa] Your markings are a little funny on that.
16:26
- That is oh... - [Theresa] Fancy oven.
16:28
- That is okay, Theresa.
16:31
- [Theresa] We fixed it?
16:33
- Yes. That is an easy fix.
16:36
If that's the worst thing that goes wrong today
16:41
we are doing good sister.
16:44
- [Eddie] It just means chocolate pie
16:45
ten minutes later.
16:46
- Yes.
16:47
And Stacy said it's fabulous with vanilla ice cream
16:54
and whipped cream and a little chocolate drizzle over it.
16:58
- [Theresa] Well, we'll be back to show 'em.
17:00
- Yes, we will.
17:03
And I came out with a hand sanitizer y'all.
17:08
I take it on to Shop HQ
17:11
and I enjoy, enjoying using it in the kitchen rather
17:15
than having to walk off and wash my hands every few seconds.
17:20
This way, I feel like I'm, I'm clean.
17:27
(dishes clinking) (dog toy squeaking)
17:29
Just makes me feel better.
17:32
I got to stay clean for all these grandchildren
17:34
that we've got.
17:36
So that's it.
17:37
We're going to bake it for 30 minutes.
17:38
And then Stacy said every five minutes, look at it
17:44
and determine.
17:45
She said it needs to jiggle just a little, which sounds
17:49
like our gooey butter cakes.
17:51
We want to jiggle just a little bit, but not much.
17:54
So Eddie, you'll be eating pie in 30 minutes baby,
18:00
or maybe 35 or maybe 40.
18:03
Okay. Y'all.
18:05
Stacy Thompson's chocolate chess pie is ready.
18:11
Hopefully it's cool enough for me to cut.
18:15
And you know, I told John that we used
18:16
a frozen pie crust, so, oh my gosh.
18:25
And she said, leave it a little jiggly.
18:31
You know, when you take it out of the oven and I have shared
18:36
with y'all how I get that first piece of pie out of the pan.
18:44
You know, it's, if you're gonna mess up one piece
18:48
and be able to get to the rest of the pie.
18:50
Well, I take my scissors and I snip.
18:56
Oh, there went the crust.
18:59
I snip where I have indicated where my piece of pie
19:09
what size my piece of pie is going to be.
19:12
And then you just want
19:12
to take that down, pull that down.
19:24
And it makes it so much easier to get that first piece out.
19:31
Oh, I didn't get all that.
19:34
I left some I didn't mean to.
19:37
There you go.
19:38
I'm not, I'm not missing any of it.
19:43
Wow. Oh gosh.
19:47
My glasses won't stay up on my nose.
19:49
I'm starting to sweat.
19:54
Gosh, I wish I could give you chocolate baby, but I can't.
19:59
I just can't.
20:00
It's not good for you.
20:05
Pie and ice cream.
20:09
Many, many pies scream for ice cream.
20:14
Or fresh whipped cream.
20:16
Now, I've got ice cream
20:19
but I don't have any fresh whipped cream.
20:21
So I'm going to cheat.
20:23
I think this was
20:24
bought for my grandchildren when they were over here
20:30
you know, and going to make something.
20:33
So, and I am so hungry.
20:47
Stacy girl.
20:53
That is some more ever good.
20:57
Stacy Thompson's chocolate chess pie.
21:03
- [Eddie] The handful of extra chocolate
21:04
makes the difference.
21:06
- Yes, but you know what?
21:10
Stacy cut the sugar by a fourth of a cup.
21:13
- [Theresa] You would've kept it.
21:14
- I would've kept it.
21:15
(laughing)
21:17
Because chocolate is really not sweet.
21:18
It's bitter.
21:22
So if y'all make it every tongue's different though.
21:27
Look at this.
21:28
You know, when I was on that Food Channel
21:31
they tried to teach me how to take princess bites
21:34
but I didn't know how
21:39
I've never been a princess.
21:40
So I didn't know what a princess bite was.
21:45
Thank you, Stacy.
21:49
Thank you so much for sharing that recipe.
21:53
And I want to thank the Angus Barn
21:58
in Raleigh, North Carolina, for sharing this recipe
22:01
with you so you could share it with us.
22:06
So thank you darling. I appreciate it.
22:09
And I'm sending everybody love and our best dishes.
