7:15
wonderful six point five shows crazy
7:18
but you were that was one of my other
7:21
questions for you
7:23
oh my goodness well let me tell you you
7:27
know when I decided to really get
7:30
serious I was I was really rough and
7:33
tough on myself but I'm so happy yeah
7:37
I'm so happy that you control Jers with
7:39
just diet oh that was so hard
7:42
I can see phase a week two hours of time
7:46
oh my grimace
7:47
uh yeah yeah do you have to lose anymore
7:52
do you have to lose gimme me I'd say I
7:56
need a waist 30 more to get tomorrow Amy
8:01
I'm hoping that at the end of the year
8:04
you know trying to be realistic you know
8:06
yes go 30 pounds is what I've got left
8:11
to lose
8:12
so well I would give myself a me one day
8:15
a week to go get me that cheeseburger
8:18
wrap that I love so much because that
8:22
kind of kept me from jumping off the
8:24
cliff you know what I mean now Bobby
8:30
Bobby is my real real clean eater Bobby
8:35
do you have any suggestions find me
8:38
well congratulations Amy I think that's
8:43
great and I am happy for you to confirm
8:47
that your type-2 diabetes has been
8:49
brought under control through diet and
8:51
exercise because
8:53
there is no magic wand that is the only
8:56
way to do it and people that people that
8:59
are type 2 diabetic eat really the way
9:02
that we should all be eating which is
9:05
cleaner you know more more whole foods
9:08
more fruits and vegetables and nuts and
9:10
drinking a lot of water and and try not
9:13
to I'm sure that you found Amy that a
9:16
big culprit and and and it's something
9:19
that you really don't think about a lot
9:20
is drinking your calories you know what
9:23
I mean and drinking sugar and stuff like
9:26
that and it's so easy to take in a lot
9:28
of extra and - I'm sure that you had to
9:31
start paying attention to the labels of
9:34
the food that you were eating you know
9:35
so the more you know processed food the
9:41
more the more informed you are about
9:44
what you're eating the better you will
9:45
eat and the more time you put into the
9:49
gym and work on your body through
9:51
exercise perfect is unattainable and and
9:55
and your and most of us are probably not
9:58
ever going to look perfect or look like
10:00
these people that are the ads for gyms
10:02
or in magazines but you can but you can
10:04
certainly feel great and better about
10:07
yourself and I'm so proud and happy for
10:11
you of what you've done because you're
10:12
doing that is what you do what you're
10:15
doing is what you do and and I'm proud
10:18
of my mom for having cut out sweet tea
10:21
you know and that's that's what you have
10:23
to do you have sex but this is something
10:25
interesting my doctor told me the other
10:27
day Amy I just went in for my physical
10:30
and she said Paula are you drinking diet
10:34
sodas diet coke or diet Pepsi and I said
10:38
I live off of him she said you've got to
10:40
get off of those that diet sodas
10:44

12:48
ask a question on my podcast ideas a
12:54
long time yes and well today we're
12:57
trying to get around to some of the
12:58
questions and I came up on yours do you
13:04
remember do you remember what it was
13:06
Debbie I can I'm gonna intervene I see
13:10
what's going on here Debbie this this is
13:11
Paula Deen and I am her son Bobby and
13:14
we're right now in the middle of doing a
13:15
live podcast and we're sorting through
13:18
questions that
13:19
been called in and one of them from you
13:22
is from you I see that you're Debbie
13:24
Buford from Alabama and you asked how do
13:26
you keep greens from being bitter
13:28
without using sugar and you really are
13:31
talking to Paula Deen alone you never I
13:45
sent you flowers
13:46
I had a flower shop oh my gosh when I
13:49
was in mobile oh thank you thank you yes
13:55
oh my question okay well you know what
14:01
Debbie that's a tough question um you
14:05
know sometimes it depends on if they're
14:07
like old if they're old greens is
14:12
going to be bitter and I will flip I'll
14:15
slip like a teaspoon of sugar in them
14:17
but like I said you just avoid that you
14:22
want to get as young and tender greens
14:24
as you can okay because those old ones
14:28
they they might bite you we have a big
14:34
garden and we had lots of greens and so
14:39
I hope you know I didn't know if it was
14:41
just something I didn't do oh no you
14:44
know I planted collards a couple of
14:46
seasons back and they were so not good
14:51
they had no flavor at all so I didn't
14:55
realize at the time that there's a lot
14:57
of different types of greens and we just
15:02
happened to plant the tasteless kind and
15:05
what a waste what a waste it was so I
15:09
think I'd rather have a bitter batch
15:11
than a tasteless batch I know taste at
15:16
all but like I said just trying to keep
15:20
up with what kind you planted oh and do
15:25
a little investigating on which makes
15:28
the best southern collard green like we
15:30
like to eat
15:32
we'll do that because we we plant summer
15:35
spring and fall
15:37
oh I personally I love the winter of
15:41
greens all I just say that I think the
15:44
ball one does it better
15:45
oh the color weather things to maybe not
15:50
make some kind of message yes right well
15:55
at the thing is when they get a little
15:57
frost on them that tenders them up like
16:02
you wouldn't believe it is true it is
16:08
true uh my grandmother said it and
16:12
everything she said about food she she
16:15
gave me the right info oh yes and she
16:18
said those greens have to have that
16:20
first first first little frost on them
16:26
well thank you daddy I appreciate you
16:28
calling me back honey
16:30
thank you well thank you and uh you too
16:35

16:40
questions I have in front of me about

the lady and sons in Savannah Georgia
17:20
very so that's where you can see my mom
17:24
a lawyer you can see my sons
17:26
I have another question I suppose you
17:29
see there too Michael sometimes as
17:30
Victor but Jamie and I are always there
17:34
with mom so we have one more question
17:36
from Blake in California and that is
17:38
Paula how do you make the perfect route
17:40
do you think that's like Shelton colony
17:43
in y'all like California
17:46
he's out there doing the voice right now
17:48
maybe it's blade
17:50
well hey blade the lake cares about a
17:53
few things but Ruane tuo I think you
17:57
might be right
17:58
well let me tell you blade to make a
18:01
good rule you have to dedicate about 45
18:04
minutes to doing nothing else but making
18:06
that root and I usually start off with
18:09
half half fat
18:12
half flower for equal amount of fat and
18:16
flour and if that's too thick then I'll
18:21
add a little bit more fat and I usually
18:23
make mine with a vegetable
18:25
oh now people may not yes okay
18:29
because people may not know what you're
18:30
talking about when you say fat because I
18:31
mean I know what kind of fat are you
18:33
telling me you're not oil yes yes
18:36
something oh you can make it with a
18:38
solid shortening bacon grease collected
18:42
bacon grease well no I've never made it
18:44
with baking grease oh you mean like a
18:46
store-bought solid shortening yes but
18:49
like I said I just use a vegetable all
18:51
when I'm making mine and I'll usually
18:56
add a little bit more all you want it
19:00
like the consistency of maybe a pancake
19:05
batter something like that and you want
19:09
to cook this on low heat low low and you
19:13
want to stir it until it becomes the
19:15
color of a new penny
19:17
a comprar penny and that will usually
19:20
take about 45 minutes if you do it
19:23
correctly and never quit stirring that's
19:27
the secret
19:27
yeah you got to watch it or you'll burn
19:29
it you've got a completely stir does it
19:32
matter the cast-iron skillet the best
19:33
place to do it
19:34
I like the cast-iron skillet for that
19:36
but you don't it's not required but I
19:40
tell you what I've ran up on a product
19:44
but somebody gave me a a basket of gifts
19:51
and it had a jarred root in it and I
19:56
said well you know a giant already
19:59
prepare drew and I tried it and it was
20:02
very very good it was a good product so
20:06
if you're having trouble blake go in
20:10
search of already prepared route in a
20:14
glass jar at your grocery store
20:16
bang but 45 minutes of constant stirring
20:19
is going to be your secret cool Thank
20:21
You Blake and thanks to everybody out
