Well, hey y'all. Welcome to What's
0:02
Cooking with Paula Dean?
0:09
After the day at the restaurant, I went
0:12
to a comic store with my dad. You did?
0:17
And so at the comic store. Uhhuh. Dad
0:20
goes there all the time. And I didn't
0:21
know that they had a big section of kids
0:24
comics. Okay. And is this old comics or
0:27
all brand new comic books? some old ones
0:29
and some new ones. Okay. So, if you're a
0:32
if you're a collector of old comic
0:35
books, you could possibly go to that
0:37
store and find one that you've been
0:38
searching like there's some like the
0:41
first appearance of a Star Wars
0:42
character ever that they have in there.
0:45
It's $100 for it. Wow. It used to be 50
0:48
cents. Wow. Inflation.
0:53
All right. So, uh, your dad has always
0:56
loved comic books from the time he was a
0:59
little boy, and he still reads them to
1:01
this day, doesn't he? He does. He He
1:04
goes every week, and it this this guy is
1:08
so nice, and he hangs out he talks to
1:11
him for a while. Oh, he does. So, I was
1:14
happy to go to the comic store because
1:17
I've been reading this series called
1:19
Skywalker Strikes and it's a Star Wars
1:22
Uhhuh. comic and I read book one at my
1:27
house and I've kept in my house. I've
1:29
kept on looking. I was like, I wonder
1:31
when the second one will come out. And
1:33
then we went to the store and I asked
1:36
the guy if they had the Skywalker
1:38
Strikes and he said that they do. Book I
1:41
have book two. Next next week I'll have
1:45
book three. Uhuh. So book three comes
1:47
out as quick as next week. All right.
1:49
Now, how long has it been since you read
1:51
book one? It uh Matthew's birthday,
1:54
which is May 18th. Oh, so they come out
1:56
pretty quickly then. One behind the
1:59
other. It's not like you have to wait a
2:00
year or two. Yeah. I I got it from
2:04
my school book fair.
2:07
And I also got some Plants vs. Zombies
2:09
books. I got that one from my book fair,
2:12
too.
2:14
And Well, that is wonderful. So, what
2:17
else did you get? I got And this these
2:20
were my last things. I got Skylanders.
2:23
Uhhuh. Um, two comic books. Well, three.
2:27
I got the part one uh of Skylanders and
2:32
I got part five and part six.
2:36
And not really parts, they're just
2:37
different stories. Well, let me ask you,
2:39
Jack. What does a a comic book run
2:42
nowadays?
2:43
What would you pay? What would you have
2:45
to pay for a comic book? $3.99 for a
2:48
really small one. It's like this big.
2:50
3.99. It's crazy. $3.99. I think they
2:54
used to be either five or 10 cents when
2:56
I read them. Yeah. I I would probably
2:59
call those $2 maybe or $1 cuz they're
3:04
this thick. Yeah. You know, I'll tell
3:07
you a secret. A secret that I've never
3:09
told anybody ever. But your granddaddy
3:12
Dean and I, before your daddy was born,
3:16
we would go to the store and he would
3:19
get him three comic books and I would
3:21
get me three comic books and we would
3:24
come home and get in the bed and read
3:26
our funny books.
3:28
And of course, we were young. your grand
3:30
I was maybe 19 and and Granddaddy Dean
3:34
was 21.
3:36
So, can you imagine
3:39
in the crawling in the bed on a Friday
3:42
night excited because you was able to
3:44
buy your three comic books.
3:47
So, I share your love uh for comic books
3:51
with you and your daddy.
3:53
And I still will pick one up at the
3:56
grocery store. You know, sometimes
3:58
they'll have like the little Archie
4:00
comic books or something like that.
4:02
Archie and Jug Head or Veronica and
4:04
Betty. I've never heard of those. Oh,
4:06
you had? Well, it was just real popular
4:09
back in the the 50s and 60s. The space
4:13
that you live in really affects the way
4:15

5:08
Okay, we're back with Adam and he
5:10
brought something to show us, y'all. I
5:12
have no idea what it is. I know it
5:14
involves fire cuz I saw the torch. So,
5:16
Adam, tell me where to stand, where to
5:19
be, and what you're doing. So, I brought
5:22
um actually the chocolate that won us
5:24
the award for top 10. Oh, good. Um and
5:26
so this is our creme brulee truffle. Oh
5:28
my gosh, do I love creme brulee. So,
5:32
this is creme brulee chocolate. It is.
5:35
However, there are sugar crystals on the
5:37
outside. You see how it's kind of
5:38
sparkling?
5:40
Oh, no. I don't. And I don't know where
5:43
I've got my glass. Well, it has this
5:46
little shimmer to it. I've got glitter
5:48
on my face because I've been buying uh
5:50
Christmas pillows. So, yeah, it kind of
5:53
looks like my face.
5:56
Well, um so we take these sugar crystals
5:59
and um it actually encapsulates the
6:01
whole chocolate. And what we end up
6:04
doing is when you order it at the store,
6:07
we take this blow torch. Uhhuh.
6:10
I'm going to turn it on. I love these.
6:12
It's very dramatic. It's bringing the
6:14
drama in the theater. It is. What? So,
6:16
I'm going to turn this on. And then that
6:19
Clipper, don't get too That's on the
6:21
outside. Don't get too Oh my gosh. It
6:25
does turn into creme brulee. Exactly. Do
6:28
you want to try one? Yes. Okay. Ready?
6:29
All right. Do I have to mash that? I
6:31
don't want to burn Clifford. And so, you
6:32
want to do it very close. Oh, real
6:35
close. Fast. Yep. Whoa. You want
6:37
otherwise on fire? Yeah. There we go.
6:40
All right. Can I go a little bit here?
6:42
Okay, we're good. Okay, a little bit.
6:44
So, the key is to go as fast as
6:45
possible. More right here. Okay. Okay,
6:47
perfect. Wait, I missed that edge. Okay,
6:51
you're a pro.
6:53
Awesome. Oh, those are beautiful. And
6:56
y'all, um,
6:59
and then, so, Adam, I I hope that you
7:02
heard what he said. This won him the
7:05
award for the top 10 chocoliers in the
7:10
northern North America. United States,
7:13
right?
7:14
Like not South America, but all of North
7:17
Carolina. Number 10. North America.
7:19
North America. What did I say? North
7:21
Carolina. North Carolina. That's just as
7:23
important though. All of North America.
7:27
I mean, this is unbelievable. And then I
7:30
brought you something special. Oh my
7:32
gosh. Look at this, y'all. I know you
7:34
love your milk chocolate. So I Yes, I
7:36
do. I love milk chocolate. Now, what is
7:38
that? So, this is the Georgia peach,
7:40
which is white chocolate. And uh it's a
7:44
butter ganache. So, I take butter and I
7:45
whip it up. Um Yes. And then this is the
7:49
mint jeulip. Oh, this is the uh Georgia
7:52
peach. Okay. Yeah. That has the peach
7:54
preserve. This is Adam's favorite,
7:55
y'all. The milk chocolate peanut butter
7:57
cup. We make our peanut butter in house.
7:59
I know. And look at this. That's
8:02
beautiful for Valentine's Day. That
8:05
one's our red velvet cake. Oh my gosh.
8:08
What is that? That one's our passion
8:10
fruit. And what is that? The golden
8:13
Bailey's.
8:15
You know what everything is, don't you?
8:17
Absolutely. That's a golden Bailey. Mhm.
8:21
But look. And do you have this box to
8:24
display everything in? We do. This is
8:26
our book box. So we have an assortment
8:29
of 14 that you can pick. and kind of
8:32
build. Oh my gosh. If y'all come to
8:35
Savannah, you've got to promise me that
8:37
y'all will come by Adam's um shop
8:40
because it's unbelievable how beautiful
8:44
uh his cabinets are with these wonderful
8:46
little bites. Speaking of bites, you
8:50
ready? Yes, I can have a bite. Yeah,
8:52
I'll try that. Okay.
8:55
I just made those yesterday, so it's so
8:56
good.
9:01
Mhm. That little bit of salt really
9:03
helps. Tastes like that peanut butter
9:05
cup I buy from the grocery store. It's
9:07
not your mama's peanut butter cup for
9:08
sure.
9:12
That's so good. So, this is going to be
9:14
sweet, but it's caramelized white
9:16
chocolate, so it's going to taste just
9:18
like a creme brulee.
9:23
I'm sorry.
9:28
That is out of this world. Thank you. I
9:31
can see why you walked away with that
9:34
award. Thank you,
9:37
y'all. It's gooey in the center like a
9:41
creme brulee and it's got that
9:45
crust.
9:49
I think that's the best thing I've ever
9:51
tasted that you make. Oh, no. That's too
9:53
nice of a compliment from you.
9:56
That's very sweet. Thank you. You don't
9:58
expect it to have those textures in your
10:01
mouth, do you? Yeah. And you know, they
10:04
say chocolate you can't overheat it. You
10:06
can't, you know, you could burn it. And
10:08
I say, let's take a torch to it. Yeah. I
10:11
know. We are talking about the
10:13
opportunity that we had to go on
10:15
Celebrity Family Feud.
10:19
That was exciting. It was exciting. Uh,
10:24
I've had so many people ask me, "Well,
10:26
tell me who won. Tell me who won." And
10:29
of course, it was it was uh in the can
10:32
for maybe three months before it
10:34
actually aired. I can't believe you kept
10:36
it quiet. I have I did not say one word.
10:39
When people would ask me, I'd just say,
10:41
"Well, you got to watch." Well, now
10:43
you've watched, so tell me what you
10:45
think. Let me tell y'all, though, I hope
10:47
that y'all enjoyed seeing my aunt Peggy.
10:50
Oh, and Peggy sweet. As much as I
10:52
enjoyed watching her, to me, she stole
10:55
the show. Oh, I think so. She She
10:58
literally almost did because she said
10:59
she started she uh when she started
11:02
asking questions. I know.
11:06
She said, "Let me ask the audience
11:08
something."
11:11
She
11:13
She was so cute. She She never watched
11:16
that show, so she really didn't know
11:18
what I was talking about. And I found
11:20
out after she had told me, "No, uh,
11:23
somebody had mentioned it to her and she
11:25
said, "No, I'm not going to go on TV and
11:28
feud with my family. I'm not going to
11:31
start a feud when there's no feud going
11:33
on." So, she thought that we had to
11:36
fight amongst ourselves. Oh, we could
11:38
have done that, too. Yeah, we could have
11:39
done that, too. But she didn't realize
11:41
that we were feuding with another
11:44
family. So, after she figured after she
11:47
finally understood uh what Family Feud
11:50
meant, she finally agreed to come. And
11:53
I'm so glad she did because she stole
11:54
the show. Oh, she did. So, and I I just
11:57
love Steve Harvey. He's he to me. Oh, I
12:00
do too. I just love that man. You know,
12:03
he can stand up there and not say a
12:05
word. But Michael, you know, the best
12:08
part, uh, besides all the great fun and
12:12
being with my family and being with old
12:15
friends that were there on set, um, the
12:20
fact that I could go play for such a
12:25
wonderful, wonderful cause, which is my
12:28
foundation, Paulaine's Bag Lady
12:31
Foundation. Uh, it was uh, formed. we we
12:35
finally finally were able to get to the
12:39
place where we could form this
12:40
foundation because starting a foundation
12:43
y'all is very very hard. I mean it you
12:46
don't do that in a few minutes. You
12:47
don't just go out and say I'm going to
12:49
start this foundation. Um you know you
12:52
have to work with lawyers and everything
12:55
to to get this foundation set. And we
12:59
finally did it in 2012 I think. Uh, so I
13:05
was so proud to be able to go up there
13:08
and say that we are playing for the po
13:11
Paulyine Bag Lady Foundation. And the
13:14
foundation helps women and children in
13:16
in in need. Yes. It was formed to
13:20
benefit women and their children should
13:22
they have any. And uh I'm really proud
13:27
of the things we've been able to do with
13:31
the monies that uh people have donated
13:34
to our foundation.
13:36
They do. So that was that that was a
13:39
real proud day for me.
13:42
And then get back to um Steve Steve
13:45
Harvey uh family feud. Uhhuh. Um,
13:50
I was up against this other guy and the
13:53
point values had tripled and so it was
13:56
only four or five answers and yeah, I
13:59
think they have like four answers. The
14:01
question was what what would u what
14:04
would be bad to get stuck on your shoe
14:06
or and um he hit the buzzer before I did
14:11
and his answer was gum. Mine was dog
14:14
poop and I and his answer was first
14:18
anyway, but he he got to
14:21
So even if I would have made it first,
14:24
you' had the wrong answer. I had the
14:26
wrong answer.
14:28
But that is bad on because you're so
14:29
used to stepping in poo, ain't you?
14:31
Well, yeah. Some days you do it, but
14:34
some days you don't. And that's the days
14:37
we really like when you don't step in
14:39
dog poo. And I hope today is a day that
14:42
y'all don't step in dog poop.
14:46
We'll see y'all next time. Bye y'all.
