good morning my friends I was with y'all
0:06
through this instrument that we call a
0:10
phone the other day and I said I wanted
0:14
to help young so badly any way I can
0:19
you know I saw Trisha Yearwood and her
0:23
husband Garth Brooks
0:26
they came on and they did a concert from
0:30
their house and Trisha saying oh how
0:34
great thou art and I thought oh my gosh
0:38
I wish I could do that for y'all but I
0:42
can't yeah you don't want to hear me
0:44
singing and but I can cook so I thought
0:53
Bobby called me the other day and he
0:55
said mama why are you not doing cooking
0:58
well small little cooking shows on
1:00
YouTube and I said well oh I don't know
1:03
son hung up the phone went and found
1:06
daddy and said Eddie but little cooking
1:10
things on YouTube so with that I called
1:15
our little computer person in our
1:19
corporate office and then Theresa as we
1:25
eventually called her broom-hilda yes
1:30
very very very affectionately Theresa
1:34
has helped us get this off the ground
1:37
and it's Theresa and Eddie behind the
1:40
camera and just me with y'all so I don't
1:47
know what to say y'all this is the
1:49
craziest time that I've ever seen in my
1:52
lifetime I've never seen anything like
1:55
it so I'm trying though very hard to
2:00
remain positive and if God got us to it
2:06
he'll get us through it you know and
2:09
you may feel alone out there
2:15
for those of you that are not
2:16
quarantined with with other people but
2:22
you may be lonely but just remember
2:25
you're not alone every person on this
2:29
earth is in the same position that I'm
2:33
in that you're in that teresa's in this
2:35
Eddie's in so I just want us to be able
2:40
to keep our mental health as good as we
2:43
can and now with so much time on our
2:47

4:56
costs for Baldy it calls for green
5:00
onions and it costs for mayonnaise it's
5:04

5:09
salad instead of coleslaw at your fish
5:12
fry this is a great salad to do instead

9:08
Bobby and cloud are not going anywhere
9:12
they're not doing anything remind
9:15
everybody tending to those triplets
9:19
that's all they do one year uh-huh well
9:23
they they will be two years this coming
9:25
October it's hard to believe that they
9:29
will be celebrating their birthday in
9:31
what six seven months it's just hard to
9:34
believe but they are so well taken care
9:37
of
9:38
oh well taken care of and Cory Cory is
9:43
keeping Sullivan
9:45
you know all the schools have closed
9:47
here in Savannah
9:49
and I was so sorry we had to make the
9:52
decision to close the lady and Sons down
9:55
Monday but Paula Dean Creek house
9:59
because we're not in the city we don't
10:03
fall under that their jurisdiction so
10:06
the creek house is still open but
10:08
remember we taken it down to 50 percent
10:11
I mean we're following all of the CDC
10:13
diets we're just right right we've
10:18
removed tables yes so that people are
10:21
further apart
10:22
like I said we're trying to do
10:24
everything that that president has asked
10:28
us to do and what you doing with that
10:33
oh I'm sorry young I'm making Georgia
10:37
cracker salad so if y'all got a pen
10:40
around this will be great because you
10:43
know I don't I don't measure when I'm
10:48
making things like this and Teresa just
10:51
reminded me that it's on my website but
10:55
I'm gonna tell you exactly the
10:57
measurements you use one sleeve
10:59
assaulting crackers one large chopped
11:03
tomato which I'm fixing a chop three
11:07
finely chopped green onions
11:09
one-and-a-half cups of mayonnaise and 1
11:13
finely chopped hardball egg all right so
11:17
I don't know if I'm gonna do that much
11:19
mayonnaise I just don't know but I want
11:22
y'all to have the measurements as it
11:24
reads for the recipe for those of us
11:28
that have to follow a risk yes for those
11:30
that like to follow our recipe now let
11:33
me tell you this about that oh this
11:40
salad is so very tasty but you have to
11:46
eat it quick
11:49
because the saltines will get soggy so
11:53
how long when you say quick and quick I
11:55
mean I would have my whole meal ready
11:58
Theresa and you would be I would have
12:04
you sitting at the table and put this
12:06
together last minute and put this
12:07
together and then I would walk over to
12:10
the table and say okay start it because
12:14
I like mine I didn't get this knife to
12:18
sharp I like mine crunchy crunchy now
12:24
some people don't mind when it when it
12:30
goes soft now I'm gonna put a little bit
12:33
of house seasoning in there and it's not
12:36
gonna take much because there's salt in
12:43
those saltine crackers so and I'm not
12:46
gonna measure out a cup and a half of
12:48
mayonnaise it may take that but I'm not
12:50
gonna do it I'm just gonna add it as I
12:53
go and you can just do it too wet right
12:55
yeah some people might like more than
12:58
some people won't look right and if it's
13:00
just one of you out there he's a half
13:03
asleep my third of us leave excuse me uh
13:07
I've had a frog in my throat that he
13:10
won't hop out
13:11
I keep trying to get him out but he
13:17
don't wanna you don't want to leave
13:19
I'm not sick no no which is good um so
13:24
there we go
13:25
I mean look look how easy this is I
13:30
could have used a bigger bowl Paulo and
13:36
that really needs
13:40
it really needs a bigger bowl and it
13:43
needs more tomato a little bit more
13:49
tomato in it and this to earn this
13:52
recipe oh gosh it's just one that's been
13:55
the natural in the state of Georgia
13:57
forever
13:58
oh you know it's and I think probably
14:07
how it originally came about Teresa
14:12
southerners have loved has has learned
14:16
to cook good food cheaply and how many
14:22
times have you been hungry at night and
14:25
gone into the kitchen and just grabbed a
14:28
saltine cracker mm-hmm you know it's
14:31
feeling and it tastes good yes so here
14:42
we go and I like to serve this I like to
14:48
serve this on a pretty piece of butter
14:51
lettuce all right so I think I'm through
14:56
touching the food now y'all so I don't
14:58
see if I've got any less about my skills
15:07
in the kitchen you'd be proud of me I
15:09
like something cooking a lot since we've
15:11
been that's we're keeping I wouldn't eat
15:16
well you know that that's great cuz a
15:20
lot of restaurants have cotton
15:23
a lot of restaurants have closed so we
15:27
are trying to you know we're doing local
15:29
to we're trying to support all of the
15:30
businesses that are here so we're kind
15:33
