I'm kind of recovered from my eye surgery.
0:09
And I want to thank everybody for
0:11
the best wishes and the thoughts
0:14
and the prayers that was sent my way,
0:16
I appreciate it so much y'all.
0:18
And I'm glad to be back.
0:20
Well, in today's video,
0:24
I want to talk about some of the mail that I get
0:28
from y'all out there.
0:29
And it just touches me to the core.
0:33
(paper rustling) And I'm gonna read
0:36
just some of the things,
0:39
some of the gifts that y'all send to me.
0:42
I just want to share this with everybody out there.
0:45
'Cause I said, you know, this world's has got some,
0:48
booty holes livin' in it.
0:51
But then the nice people far outweigh the booty holes.
0:56
So it's nice to just be reminded
0:59
of really nice, caring people.
1:02
And this comes from Heather Drucker,
1:06
and she said, "I've been entertained by you for years.
1:10
Your love of family, food and utter joy
1:13
is the essence of who you are.
1:15
And did I mention your laugh?"
1:18
To me, I sound like, kinda like a witch, Heather.
1:23
And you actually tell me that I autographed
1:27
my cookbook, Kitchen Classics.
1:29
I adore that cookbook.
1:32
You said it's your go to well, you know what,
1:36
I don't let it get far from my stove.
1:41
And let's see, "after watching your quarantine videos,
1:45
I just had to send you this Danish whisk.
1:50
Like you, I love to use a whisk when cookin'.
1:54
But so often the ingredients are too thick
1:57
and the whisk ends up just getting clogged.
2:01
I hope you enjoy this utensil as much as I do.
2:05
Thank you for inspiring me in my cooking and challenging me
2:11
God bless, Heather Drucker."
2:14
Heather, I love this!
2:18
You know You're so right, those whisks,
2:20
they just get full of gunk and then trying to get everything
2:24
out of every corner. And you know what?
2:31
may be very, very smart people.
2:35
And I think this might be a great idea
2:37
because let me tell you,
2:39
I've had a Danish before, and they are so good.
2:46
I especially love the cream cheese Danish.
2:50
Thank you darling, for thinkin' of me.
2:52
And loving best dishes to you
2:55
and all of our friends out there.
3:06
Okay, do I have time for another one Eddie?
3:09
- Okay, good. (paper rustling)
3:13
this one says, "Dear Paula,
3:15
thank you so much for your quarantine cooking videos.
3:19
I heard you read someone's letter who said she has you on
3:24
and you just cheer her up. And I thought me too!
3:28
You absolutely cracked me up when you were making tomato pie
3:32
and you said, 'what the hell did I say cauliflower for'
3:41
I was bent over about to wet myself.
3:44
And that laugh, you are a big bright spot.
3:49
I always text my sister and tell her to be sure to watch
3:52
whatever you're makin'.
3:54
Then we laugh about it together,
3:55
and we're right there with you, we're 68 and 62."
3:59
Y'all are kindergartners, girls.
4:03
"We call the roll just to speak to our grandchildren
4:07
and can't remember our own names some days.
4:10
And thanks for introducing Eddie to us as well.
4:15
It's always nice to put a face to the name."
4:18
Eddie is sitting right across from the table right now y'all
4:21
and he is shootin' this video.
4:25
he is one of the gifts that God has blessed me with
4:35
"I have been in Savannah 38 years.
4:37
Born and raised in Valdosta,
4:39
but lived in Wilmington and Whitmarsh for many years
4:42
before moving to Guyton.
4:44
My husband wanted a little patch of dirt work on his toys,
4:47
classic cars and four wheelers.
4:49
So I have grown accustomed to the country
4:51
and love it out here now.
4:53
But Savannah, Guyton,
4:57
We're so blessed to live in such a beautiful city.
5:01
Thanks again much love and good health, Ginger."
5:06
Ginger, I'm not sure, is that,
5:08
does that say Deep, Eddie? Ginger Deep?
5:14
Dees, I bet it's Dees.
5:18
Well, thank you. Thank you.
5:21
Ginger for such a sweet letter and
5:28
it's such a privilege for me to come in
5:31
and help y'all out on bad days where you feel like you might
5:35
need a cheerleader, I know I have those days.
5:38
And we just got to remember, girl, keep on laughin'.
5:47
Do I have time for anther one, Eddie?
5:49
- [Eddie] I think we got time for one more.
5:50
- Okay, one more y'all.
5:56
I truly enjoy your quarantine cooking shows.
6:00
I'm learning how to make so many of your dishes.
6:04
Would you make some hot water cornbread?
6:07
Mine just doesn't come out right.
6:10
I highly appreciate it.
6:12
Miss Ira Strong from Houston, Texas."
6:15
You know what, Miss Ira?
6:19
I make a lot of cornbread.
6:22
I don't think I've ever made hot water cornbread.
6:26
if on one of the quarantine cooking videos
6:30
I do some investigatin' and we'll try to make it together
6:35
and see if it works, okay?
6:38
Thank you for your request.
6:40
Loving best dishes to you miss Ira?
6:44
- All right, Eddie tells me that's all,
6:48
(Woody the Woodpecker impersonation)
6:51
(woman chuckles) The end.
