• 0:56
  you guys, we're supposed to be talking about, you know, the
• 0:58
  holidays, which is right on the corner. Mm hmm. I got a
• 1:02
  question for y'all. Okay, I'm not a cooker. I'm the person in
• 1:07
  the family to bring the drinks, the juices, do laugh at. I
• 1:14
  got to so, what is this raisin and a potato salad thing? I
• 1:19
  mean, my family doesn't do it, but do any of you guys do
• 1:22
  it? No? No, no, that's that's not a black thing anyway,
• 1:27
  that's not what we do. That's that's not it's not an option and
• 1:34
  it's not an ingredient on the list to make potato salad. Y'all don't do
• 1:41
  potato salad and Thanksgiving we do, but it doesn't have raisins in it.
• 1:48
  Black Diamond, we can't hear you. I said, I do. I
• 1:51
  make potato salad, but I don't put raisins in it. Yeah, that's
• 1:53
  not an ingredient on the list for potato salad. It's just not the potato
• 2:00
  salad. Yeah, yeah, that that's just not there. Not sure where
• 2:07
  that comes from, but no, I mean, everybody talk about it.
• 2:15
  I think it comes from a skit that someone did a few years ago when
• 2:21
  they were having kind of like a pot look kind of situation and someone of
• 2:38
  another race brought the potato salad and it had raisins in it, and that
• 2:45
  they they they had to ask the question who made the potato salad because it
• 2:52
  doesn't go here. Raisins don't go in potato salad. So it's a little
• 2:57
  skit. If I can find it, I'll post sick. But yeah,
• 3:01
  mm hmmm, that's not one that we do at all. Now I do
• 3:08
  cook. However, I've never ever done that one. So I guess what's
• 3:16
  everybody's favorite dish for Thanksgiving? As far as to make eat like, you
• 3:29
  look like you can throw down on some color greens, you look like you
• 3:31
  can do it. Go ahead, let me tell you. I know how
• 3:37
  to cook, but I don't like cooking. Being the youngest of eight that
• 3:43
  everybody else cooked, and when they told the children to get out of the
• 3:46
  kitchen, I was probably one of the first ones to leave. Watch Ever,
• 3:51
  I watched my mom and my sisters. Now one of my sisters,
• 3:53
  she can really cook. I watched them cook, and they don't think that
• 3:57
  I was paying attention. I was paying attention. I just didn't want to
• 3:59
  cook. It was really no need to. And then when I got married,
• 4:02
  my husband wanted to cook. So I was like, oh, real,
• 4:04
  baby, I don't have to cook. Babies, you know, they
• 4:09
  had baby food and stuff like that. I didn't have to cook, but
• 4:12
  he cooked. And then by the time he stopped cooking, my children got
• 4:15
  older. Then they started cooking, So I never really cooked. I do
• 4:18
  cook Thanksgiving. Now that's a meal that I have to cook. Okay,
• 4:21
  okay, I have to cook Thanksgiving for two reasons. For two nobody else
• 4:26
  wants to cook Thanksgiving for three. I really don't like anybody messing up my
• 4:30
  kitchen. And I know when I sit down after cooking everything, I want
• 4:33
  a meal that I know that I cooked. I don't want to be sitting
• 4:36
  there question like who made the potato salad? But mustard in her potato salad.
• 4:43
  I used to tease her and say that this was soup. Get the
• 4:46
  straws because it was just so loose all the time. But darkness, Yeah,
• 4:51
  a potato salad. At least, I'll say. I'll miss seeing it,
• 4:56
  you know, not eating. I've been seeing it so matter of fact,
• 5:02
  I just went out and bought some some Hamhoks for my Greens. So
• 5:06
  see, there you go your fame. A Greens person put this way.
• 5:12
  They never complained. If they did, they went in secret and complained that
• 5:15
  mommy can't cook. But I've never heard them. Now he tells people in
• 5:19
  a minute, my mommy can't cook. Well, yes, what you are
• 5:21
  healthy and hungry and sol me long air, God promise you bread and water,
• 5:27
  meat and meeting the side is a luxury. They don't look like the
• 5:31
  starving, so right, come up here and say that they starving so that
• 5:36
  I must be doing something. Yeah, my kids grew up on home cooked
• 5:44
  food, so it's a rare occasion when they want to go to a restaurant.
• 5:47
  Like my kids staged an intervention one time because I had been working so
• 5:54
  much that I was just stop on the way home to like Burger King,
• 6:00
  McDonald's, KFC whatever. On the way home. One day I came home.
• 6:04
  I got home probably about six o'clock. I got off a little early.
• 6:09
  Do you know. My children put a chair in the middle of the
• 6:12
  floor in the living room and said, we need to talk. I said,
• 6:15
  what are we talking about? They say, we need to discuss this
• 6:21
  menu, this food that you keep bringing here. And I'm like, okay,
• 6:26
  y'all are eating. What's the problem? No, Ma, we like
• 6:30
  home cooked meals. We like fried chicken, macaroni and cheese, green beans,
• 6:33
  collars, turnips, all of this stuff. We like cakes, cookies
• 6:39
  and pies and brownies too, So what's the problem. I said, Well,
• 6:44
  first off, y'all like the car that I'm driving. Y'all like this
• 6:49
  roof over your head. Y'all like to be able to watch the behinds and
• 6:54
  everything, which means and I have to work, So which one of these
• 6:58
  luxuries, would you like to get it up? Give up in order for
• 7:00
  me to continue to prepare these nice meals for you. And they were like,
• 7:05
  okay, well, since you put it that way, we'll settle for
• 7:09
  this, but can we at least make sure that we have a home cooked
• 7:14
  meal at least twice out of the week. So yeah, my kids are
• 7:19
  home cooked children. They don't believe in eating out like that, and that's
• 7:27
  my fault. So I can't really complain too much because I spoiled them that
• 7:31
  way. How about you. I thank god that since I've been sick,
• 7:42
  my daughter cooked. She's twenty one years old, and she really was watching
• 7:46
  me in the kitchen because there's nothing she can't prepare. But my favorite from
• 7:53
  Thanksgiving is nothing. And when I used to cook, my family would always
• 7:59
  want me to either make Aalian food or the peach cobbler because it wasn't until
• 8:05
  I was in college that they found out I could cook. Because I just
• 8:13
  get up cut up potatoes every day. I'd be like, I come with
• 8:16
  my sister. It's a wonderful cook and she loves to cook. As a
• 8:20
  matter of fact, she's cooking the whole Thing's giving dinner. I just oh,
• 8:28
  okay, now it was Angela. I know you're about to throw down
• 8:33
  in the kitchen. What you cooking? No, I'm not. I never
• 8:43
  have none of that. But I can cook. That's the funny thing is
• 8:52
  I can cook. Like if if my sister, right to this day say
• 9:00
  I want you to cook something, I can cook it. But I just
• 9:03
  know my sister she is. She's the baker in the family. The people
• 9:07
  want cakes, pies or whatever, they always call her. But now so
• 9:11
  she done went up on her prices. People don't want to pay. They
• 9:15
  won't. They say she got the best cakes, but they don't want to
• 9:16
  pay. But she she hands down like she everything. Always we used to
• 9:24
  go to her house for everything. Yeah, always, Holidays was always her
• 9:33
  house. I don't care where it was. And then even if she if
• 9:35
  we was at one of my family members say, we used to go to
• 9:39
  my aunt's house for Christmas. If we did Thanksgiving at my sister's house.
• 9:43
  We used to go to my aunt's for Christmas. But my sister will always
• 9:46
  be the one bringing most of everything. They always say, well, in
• 9:50
  that brain, this, in that brain this, and that brain this,
• 9:54
  And she always seemed like she just cooked the whole meal at home and just
• 9:58
  took it there. But yeah, she she the cook. I don't need
• 10:05
  none of that. But I can cook, don't get it wrong. Now
• 10:11
  I'm mad and I can cook, but I just choose not. See.
• 10:20
  That's why I because even at my job and it's some of my best fool
• 10:24
  that I can cook this food. I don't even eat Huh, macaroni cheese.
• 10:31
  I don't like. Huh, you don't like macaronis macaroni cheese. What's
• 10:41
  the matter? I mean, we have to revisit this besty relationship and see
• 10:48
  macaroni and cheese. I'm like, you got to have the macaroni and cheese,
• 10:54
  like I'm making you a nice cheese. You see mac and cheese,
• 11:00
  But I don't need it. Speaking of cheese, I don't eat okay,
• 11:09
  and you from South Carolina. You don't eat grits, no fishing grits,
• 11:16
  no shrimp and grits. Rice. I like rice, Okay, I love
• 11:24
  you, Okay, my feelings hurt. I just don't. I just don't
• 11:37
  understand. Like we just had shrimp grits not too long ago, because Nate
• 11:43
  wanted though, so I made him. That's when we ended up having for
• 11:46
  dinner. Yes, grits, but she just she's like, I don't do
• 11:54
  grits. Mm hmm, cheese grits. It's a lot of you will probably
• 12:05
  talk about y'all will probably talking about that. I don't eat like. I
• 12:07
  don't like turkey decks. I don't like turkey wings. I don't like what
• 12:16
  what do you eat? What? What's the name of the the cow tails?
• 12:24
  What's that's called? I sell tell I don't like them either. I
• 12:33
  don't eat that either. But yeah, okay, she just likes chicken.
• 12:37
  That's that's that's just like chicken. It's okay that that's what I got.
• 12:46
  She just like chicken like I eat turkey. I just don't like the in
• 12:54
  the oh, I eat chicken. Yeah, I know you eat the chicken.
• 13:07
  I'm so confused, how are you? Okay? So who I'm cooking
• 13:28
  at house? Well, I gotta cook, but I gotta take it to
• 13:31
  Kyla's house. I can talk. Oh. Now. My favorite dessert is
• 13:39
  a pound cake. It don't even matter. Can be traditional, it could
• 13:41
  be sour cream, pound cake, whatever. But like my favorite one to
• 13:48
  make, I would say, is my red velvet cheesecake with almond cream cheese
• 13:54
  froster. It's my favorite one to make and my kids love it. And
• 13:58
  then and I do a strawberry short cake, the strawberry short cake with almond
• 14:07
  cream cheese frosting as well, and a red velvet cheesecake cake. Like I
• 14:26
  just made no baked cheesecakes for the kids this past Sunday. And when I
• 14:33
  tell you there were there was no cheesecake left. Like I did a homemade
• 14:39
  no baked cheesecake. I made four of them, two for my house and
• 14:45
  two for Kiwa's house, and there's there was none left by Tuesday, and
• 14:54
  I made them on Sunday. So this is how this is about. And
• 14:58
  I I found have you ever heard of a pecan cheesecake. It's a mix
• 15:09
  between a pecan pie and a cheesecake. Yep, make them. Uh huh.
• 15:15
  I've done a strawberry sports cake with the R cheesecake double food in it.
• 15:22
  So yeah, I just listen. I love to cook. I love
• 15:26
  the bake, and I love to come up with different recipes, which is
• 15:28
  part of the reason why my kids are the way that they are when it
• 15:31
  comes to food and cooking. So yeah, but yeah, I've done that
• 15:37
  before too. Why are you making that face? O time? Yeah,
• 15:46
  y'all are two other kinds? What your bacon over that? For trees?
• 15:50
  Oh? Big what? I have a home girl who I go to for
• 15:56
  my bigon. Her name is Kimberlieve, and she has this thing called Pink
• 16:02
  Butterfly, and she does all the cakes and stuff I don't. I'm trying
• 16:07
  to get my line up because I'm about to go to Black Diamond, catch
• 16:11
  a flight the Black Diamond's house to get the greens. Then I'm coming to
• 16:15
  Myrtle Beach and i gotta get the rights for the greens. Then I'm going
• 16:18
  to Amma and get the peach cobbler, and then I'm gonna come on back
• 16:22
  around to be I'm gonna have to call Deltonnsey if they do some type of
• 16:26
  discount for me as something and all. I'll bring sodas to everybody house I
• 16:34
  mean, and I'll bring the real sos. I won't bring big. There's
• 16:47
  only three in my household, Like these kids don't believe in well jeans doesn't
• 16:55
  leave leftovers. I'm that's ever any leftovers in my house. So even when
• 17:03
  it's just myself and Nathan here, like my oldest son is home now,
• 17:07
  and so there's definitely no leftovers. But when it's just me and Nathan,
• 17:15
  there's never leftovers there. I don't know what a leftover is at all,
• 17:22
  because it doesn't last. Like the last thing that I tried myself. There's
• 17:30
  a recipe that I saw that I wanted to try, and it was asparagus
• 17:33
  stuffed chicken with the Creole sauce on it. Now, you know the cafeteria
• 17:40
  pants that you have that has that's a really big deep pan. Now I'm
• 17:47
  trying to do something that I'm not quite sure if anybody's gonna like it,
• 17:51
  but I made a big pan of it just in case, thinking okay,
• 17:56
  if they don't like it, at least i'll have some for, you know,
• 17:59
  lunch the next day. When I tell you, like, we had
• 18:02
  the stuff asparagus chicken, I made some pasta to go with it, and
• 18:07
  of course the asparagus, and I made the Creo sauce. So I'm thinking,
• 18:11
  okay, this should be enough for me to have lunch. When I
• 18:15
  tell you, I only got the plate that I made to eat dinner that
• 18:19
  night and that was it. I went back for seconds and they had all
• 18:23
  been in there and got the rest, and I'm like, hold on,
• 18:27
  there was a whole pen of chicken and asparagus and pasta. What happened?
• 18:37
  Oh you didn't. You didn't put your plate up for your second helping.
• 18:41
  I was like, I didn't think I needed to. There was plenty.
• 18:45
  Oh well, you know you should have put that up because it's gone,
• 18:48
  y'all? Would the pans were empty and in the sink there was enough.
• 18:52
  I was so mad because I was like, this was a trial one.
• 18:56
  They said, well, add that to the recipe box because that you need
• 19:00
  to run that one back. So y'all, I just I don't know.
• 19:04
  Anything that I come up with. They never have an issue with to say,
• 19:08
  well, don't make that no more. That wasn't good, Well don't
• 19:11
  try that. No anything that I have come up with, they end up
• 19:15
  eating at all. And if I don't put it away from my lunch or
• 19:21
  whatever, yeah, I don't get no more. I get to try it.
• 19:25
  I get to taste test. So there's never a leftover in this house.
• 19:30
  Left over where nowhere? Not here? Mm hmmm. Wow. And
• 19:41
  listen, let me tell you my very first meal that I had to cook
• 19:45
  when I was twelve because i'd always been in the kitchen up under my aunt
• 19:51
  when she would cook. And so we go to the grocery store. We
• 19:55
  in the winn Dixie. Were getting all the good stuff for dinner, Like
• 19:57
  we're getting the turnip green the stuff to make the macaroni and cheese, the
• 20:02
  candy gams, the pork chops, all of that. So I'm like,
• 20:04
  we're gonna eat good this Sunday. So we get home and I'm like,
• 20:08
  okay, bit ma, you get ready to cook. You was like,
• 20:11
  no, I'm not getting ready to cook. You finna cook. Wait a
• 20:15
  minute, I'm gonna do what she said. No, you're gonna wash them
• 20:19
  greens, you gonna cut them up, you gonna put them in the pen.
• 20:22
  You gonna peel them potatoes. You're gonna do all what is necessary because
• 20:26
  you're always up under my heel when I'm in here cooking. So you gonna
• 20:30
  cook. Come on on, bread from scratching everything. Now, y'all,
• 20:34
  I was twelve. I'm not really sure on what I'm doing. But she's
• 20:40
  supervising. She's not helping, she's just watching, literally, not really saying
• 20:45
  too much. I cook the dinner. My other aunt comes home, and
• 20:49
  so does my cousins. They come to eat dinner cause that's Sunday dinner at
• 20:55
  the house. So they eat their play and I'm like, lord, please
• 20:57
  don't let me kill nobody. They don't let me have them have upset stomachs
• 21:03
  or nothing. When they finished, they all thanked her for the meal,
• 21:07
  and she was like, I didn't cook that meal. They was like,
• 21:10
  well, who cooked? And she was like, y'all she never said my
• 21:12
  name right, and she was like, Terita cooked that meal, and so
• 21:18
  they were like VVU cooked. I said, she made me cook. I
• 21:21
  said, I hope y'all don't get sick or nothing, because she made me
• 21:25
  cook this food. She just sit in the chair and watched. So that
• 21:29
  was my very first meal at twelve, cooking all of that and the bake
• 21:33
  pork chops, the candy ams, the macaroni and cheese, the greens and
• 21:37
  the corn bread. That was my first Sunday dinner. And I've been cooking
• 21:42
  ever since. You could how you learned how to cook? Theatrees learn how
• 22:00
  to cook. I used to my grandmother. Everybody knew my grandma mother grumble
• 22:07
  for her cooking. Every my grandma, Oh lord, you used to go
• 22:11
  to church on the corner and the house next to the church. My granny
• 22:15
  be up all night cooking food for the church. After church, everybody come
• 22:22
  and eat, they sit down there, we go back to church at seven
• 22:25
  o'clock at night. So my family is known for cooking. Me. I
• 22:29
  didn't get all those jeans. I got the technology, Jean. I got
• 22:34
  to read the book, Jean, and I got the like to make people
• 22:38
  laugh, Jean. I know to fry. I could fry some mean chicken.
• 22:44
  But I know. But yeah, I'm not not. My sister lu
• 22:48
  Trees, she's the cooker. She can cook. My child has told me
• 22:53
  plenty of times. Can I go to Auntie Canda's house and eat? You
• 22:57
  can stay to Auntie candas house home. But no, I'm not the cooker.
• 23:03
  So this Thanksgiving we're going to my aunt Jackie's house, and it's like
• 23:10
  everybody brings their dish. You know, everybody got that one signature dish.
• 23:15
  That's what happened. And I bring the suitus in the juices in the water.
• 23:22
  See well, I mean they got to wash it down. So that's
• 23:26
  the necessity. That's an important part of the meal. I ain't got the
• 23:30
  good. I ain't get the check I got the good suits. See you
• 23:36
  know that that's the best part right there, and it's less clean up.
• 23:41
  Now. One year, y'all, they asked me to make, like the
• 23:45
  one meal that my family, my entire family loves for me to make,
• 23:48
  is lasagna. Like I don't know what that is about, but my lasagna
• 23:56
  is the staple of whenever somebody want something. That's the first thing that they
• 24:03
  asked when you make in lazagna. Because we're coming, So I have to
• 24:06
  make the cafeteria pan of lasagna, and I also have to make an additional
• 24:12
  pan because that's not enough. Like that pan gets gone and they're like,
• 24:22
  okay, so we need a pan that we can divide to take home.
• 24:27
  And I'm like, okay, that should have been enough. I had.
• 24:30
  I learned that lesson the hard way because the very first time I made it
• 24:33
  for my family and my uncle, he's a cook, he's a chef.
• 24:38
  He used to work at Watford College in the kitchen, and so it was
• 24:44
  always a competition between him and I with the lazagna. So one year we
• 24:48
  were at the beach and he was like, Okay, we're gonna compare the
• 24:52
  lazagnas. And I was like, Okay, I'm really not competing, but
• 24:57
  I'm gonna win because my lasagna's just better. He got mad. So,
• 25:03
  you know, it's always Vita's lasagna over anybody's. And I've had people who
• 25:10
  don't eat lazagna tell me that they like my lasagna even compared to the restaurants
• 25:18
  that they've been to. One gentleman like, I made it for church one
• 25:22
  time, y'all, and and a lot of people didn't. They didn't.
• 25:27
  They was like, well, we're not gonna eat that because we don't eat
• 25:30
  lazaia. Well, I was like, just taste it if you don't like
• 25:33
  it, it's not gonna hurt my feelings or whatever. I didn't have anything
• 25:37
  left. And there is one of the gentlemens that had never tasted lazaion,
• 25:41
  never ate it at all. He was the piano player for the men's choir.
• 25:47
  He would come to church on the opposite someday when he didn't have to
• 25:52
  play, just to see if I was there, to see if I could
• 25:53
  make him some lasagna. He told me the story of him going to a
• 25:59
  restaurant, I think like Capris or something like that, an Italian restaurant.
• 26:03
  He got mad at them because he said that they should not have that on
• 26:10
  the menu because it's not real lazagia. It was disgusting. I said,
• 26:15
  you can't go to people's restaurants where they make a living off of making this.
• 26:19
  He said, well, it didn't taste like yours, and it hurt
• 26:22
  my feelings and I wasted my money. So now I really need you to
• 26:26
  make me some so that I could get that nasty taste out of my So,
• 26:33
  yeah, lasagna is one of my other favorites to make for family and
• 26:38
  friends because they like it and I enjoy making it for them. So you
• 26:44
  know what, my sister, My sister make lazagia too. Like my first
• 26:52
  time eating lazagna was probably about six years ago. Years ago. Started making
• 27:00
  it because my mom didn't make it and it just reminded me of macaroni,
• 27:07
  so I didn't And when I tasted hers, it was so good, and
• 27:12
  like I only eat hers, ye made some. She made some about two
• 27:21
  weeks ago. She made a big old, like a big old tray of
• 27:26
  it, and I think I was the only one for two days. Woman
• 27:32
  it up and it just tastes better after that, I swear it tastes better
• 27:40
  the second day it definitely does. But y'all, yeah, I hope everybody
• 27:52
  have a happy Thanksgiving traveling, and that's all I just wanted to jump on.
• 28:03
  And I like having these little, these little powows so people can get
• 28:10
  a chance to see us outside of our shows because we can be so profecial
• 28:17
  trying to y'all do such a great job with our shows, and I like
• 28:22
  for people to see us in our natural realness so they can really get to
• 28:29
  know us and see how we are off the stream, so that that that's
• 28:33
  what this is really about. And I thank y'all for coming on and just
• 28:40

  sometime, whenever you're trying to do something positives, whenever you're trying to do
