 We'll get there eventually. So we are having a BLT for supper. I've been working on our website all day long, and it's been complicated and mind boggling. And Chris has been away from the house all day. He just got back from the grocery store. We're having BLTs for supper. I got a couple of packages in the mail, and I'm excited to open those. I thought I'd open them in front of you guys. I don't always do that, but if I got time, then sometimes I do. And then also, there's a storm brewing out there. It's going to come into Florida, come across Florida, and come right over the top of us. And of course, Florida is going to get the brunt of it, not us. So y'all keep everybody in your prayers. I'm assuming I think it's going to hit around Wednesday. So, whoops, my dogs. Kroger had coupons. And if you flip the coupons, you've got a loaf of bread for 99 cents. And you could get up to five loaves for 99 cents. So I got a wheat and a white. No, a soft wheat and a wheat. Honey wheat and soft wheat. Which one did you want tonight, Chris? Honey wheat will be all right, since we're having the BLTs. Okay, so we're going to press this, and then I'm going to open up my packages. And we just thought we'd say hey today. Y'all have anything you want to talk about? While we are just making a simple BLT, bacon lettuce and tomato. Are you going to want one or two, Chris? One will be all right. I think that I got a couple packages. I'm ready to open them. But I don't want to burn the bacon. So I'm going to get some of these out. They're already done. Is that time of year or it's time to have BLTs? So it really is a question for y'all while I'm thinking about it. My sister keeps getting on to me for something. I'm going to ask you about what your opinion is. Okay, because it's all about Facebook. My sister runs Facebook. And she don't like it. Sorry, I'm talking to my skillet, but I'm cooking. She don't like it because I put introductions at the beginning of my videos. And she says that you guys would watch them better if I did. What do you mean introductions? You know, like when I showed the little clip of me cutting the cake or mixing up the ground beef or whatever I decided to put at the front to get your attention. She says that Facebookers would rather not have that. Now I'm not talking about live video y'all because I can't make live videos for all my videos because you've got to have time to put and finish it live. Okay, so there's a lot of videos I do where I'm slow cooking something or making a cake that I can't do a live video on. I'm talking about those videos. When you guys go and I just make a post, what I want to know is does it bother you that I show a nice little clip at the beginning of what I'm going to be making? And I have my theme song. She says that you guys don't want to watch that and listen to the theme song, but it's only 30 seconds. So that's my question for you guys. Do I need to clip that off every time I post on Facebook to make it different? Or does it matter to you? It's my question. Or do you like it? Now if you have any cooking questions, we've had a couple of cooking questions, you need to look on cartervalleycooks.com. Like somebody's asking about how to make a moist cake, look on cartervalleycooks.com. We've got all of our cake layers and stuff on there for that if you want to see that. And somebody asked if you had a particular kind of bacon and we usually just buy bacon whatever's on sale. Yes, I buy what's on sale. This is Kroger brand you know where you get it in the package two pound pack. You get more for your money when you buy it that way than these 12 ounce packages. And so I like to buy it thick sliced. I personally like low sodium if I can get it. The salt in the bacon is just so salty to me. Does it bacon go up and down a lot in price? It's too extensive right now, it's ridiculous. But see I got this on sale a two pound pack on sale. Two pounds is like $9.99 for the Kroger brand I think for the most part. And it's thick sliced. But I even had a coupon for it I think. So I get what I can you know what I can get a coupon on or whatever's on sale. I don't always it's not really a bad bad bacon. Well yes there are some bacons well yeah they're in the 12 ounce packages um that are so thin that when you cook them yeah they just disintegrate almost. They really do. I mean it's almost like what? And so you don't want those? No you don't want that. Now I'm gonna use my tomato knife I'm starving. I'm gonna be honest with y'all me and Chris actually eat this and I know y'all probably think holy smogolas this cook this cook her and her husband will eat the things out of the can that I wouldn't. Well me and Chris were single for a long time weren't we baby? Both of us. Both of us. At the same time. At the same time. We should have just gotten together early for these spaghetti and meatballs. I love it. Me and Chris loves it. We like it we're weird I guess because we buy it there's never a time that you're going to come into our house that we don't have spaghetti and meatballs and it has to be spaghetti and meatballs and I like the jumbo style as well but we don't want the spaghettios. Y'all tell us what you grew up in. A lot of people eat spaghettios. Mama bought spaghettios when we were growing up. If my mama had brought spaghettios in our house we'd have threw it in the garbage. Well I was raised on spaghettios. Chris was raised on spaghetti and meatballs okay so when we met I really like these better than spaghettios because they're better. Yeah the sauce is better it don't just taste like tomato soup. Sometimes my grandmother tried to fool me and my sister and like not show us the can and put like some kind of spaghetti in there we'd immediately know but it was not oh yeah. Spaghettios kind of tastes like tomato soup with noodles in it. But anyway I'm going to open up these gifts while we're on here. I guess nobody said anything about the intro. Yeah a bunch of them said it but I'm not going to go through and count. Well I posted a video today and she said y'all would watch it if it didn't have the intro on it but because I have an intro on it y'all weren't going to watch it. So y'all go over there and watch that video and know that I'm posting every day at 10 and sometimes it's a new video and sometimes it's a rerun but not everybody's seen all the good recipes so y'all always check the site every day. I try to post around 10 o'clock in the morning and today it was a new video so y'all take a look at it all right. You can't depend on Facebook to give you any notification. So they're not going to notify you I can guarantee you that. Okay so I have three packages I have no idea what this is so I'm going to be real careful before I show it to y'all because it's from another country. Uh-oh. This says it came from China. It could be something one of the kids ordered. Better really watch it then. I know. It could be something crazy. You know we have young women. Yes. What is this? Nothing I ordered. Looks like a t-shirt or something here. Some clothes. It says it's a new shirt. I got a new shirt. Did you order this? Chris has never ordered nothing. Yes I have. What is this? I order fishing stuff on here. And where is this from? I don't know. That looks like something. That looks like something they might have ordered or something. Is that a hood on it? Hmm. It says Tammy Benfield. No this is a fishing shirt. Look. Maybe they want me to try out their product. Maybe somebody sent this to Chris but you know you think that I sent him something in it and told him about the product. So who sent us that? Okay. So let's open another one. I have to put my recycle in there. Y'all I have two different recycle bins. One is for plastic cans. That's what I put in here. This is my recycle bin. And then this one in here is supposed to be for cardboard. So I put that over there. And Chris hides these things every time we come on the air because he thinks they're ugly. I like to keep them in here so I can reach them. This is from somebody named Bailey in Alabama. Alabama. Alabama. I don't want them to see their whole address but yeah. Hopefully it's going to be good opening it out here. It's free. It's got a letter. This is from Lisa Bailey. I love to pop these things. I'm so weird. And Lisa Bailey has sent me a letter. He has sent me y'all sweet tea. So you can try it. We've already tried it. We'll try it again. Yes we did try it Lisa. But thank you for sending it to us. Now you know my favorite sweet tea was tatli tea. I love tatli tea. And so tatli is my favorite tea period. And this is for Chris. Hope he likes it. Lisa Bailey. But we like our other tea. What is that other tea? Yes. Southern sweet tea. We like that. Hey. That's pretty. Ain't it? That's pretty enough for me to wear it but I won't. Yeah. Ain't it pretty? Yeah. I probably shouldn't wear that. It's a pretty color. Yeah. And what else we got? Two tatli. Hope you like it. She sent me a y'all sweet tea. Girl do you work for them? Did you work for y'all sweet tea? She might work for them. Maybe. Because this is a lot of y'all stuff. I bet she does. Probably is. Georgia peach. That's pretty. That's really pretty. I might wear that. Okay. I like yellow. No you won't. I do. Okay she sent me peach tea. She sent me sweet tea. So I'll be making it. She sent me two y'all glasses. That's nice. Is she up there? I don't know. And she sent me spices that they sell. Uh-huh. This is gotta be from somebody there. Okay. It's a baby as a viewer. Or maybe just somebody that just really likes them. Sweet meat, honey barbecue, lime pepper, southern secret, and fancy steakhouse with, I'm going to smell this one because you know how much I like my steak and salt. Let's see what it smells like. I read the tea show. You know what it smells like? Oregano. Yeah. Which is kind of strange for steak. And it smells like garlic and onion. Let's see if it's got oregano in it. Tammy did you not understand that shirt? Because everybody's asking about my t-shirt. What? It said master baker on it. What? Because it said master and then baker. Oh my gosh. But we don't know that the person knew that. It's easy to get stuff and not really catch it. Because they put a lot of stuff on shirts now. This is as it doesn't have. It does not have that in it. It's got parsley. That's what I smell. Yeah. Parsley. Okay. All right. So thank you for all the y'all's stuff. And the obscene t-shirt you sent Grants. Well, Tammy. I bet she, I wonder if she got this shirt. There's no talent. I wouldn't picked it up because that's how it is. You would have bought it and not even thought there was anything wrong with it. Brought it home and said, I got you a shirt on sale. I know. We've seen obscene, I'm not going to tell you what it said, but we've seen an obscene sign that a guy had made outside when me and Chris were fishing one morning. She had no idea of what it said. We were fishing and we were at Lake Weiss in Alabama and leases from Alabama. And we were at the lake and there was a guy out there and he had a sign. You're going a little too far. There was a sign in the yard that was obscene. I didn't know what it stood for. And so I yelled at Chris and said, what does blah, blah, blah mean? And it embarrassed him to death because I yelled at him in the morning when everything's quiet. And he just couldn't believe I didn't know what it meant. I didn't. So I'm a little in the dark on something, y'all. Look at all this recycle. Two, Tammy from Joshua. We've got a lot of stuff from Joshua. I love this chicken that's on top of my refrigerator. I hate to tell everybody. It's liable to be anything from Joshua. Here we go. Isn't she pretty? Yeah, I like it. I love her. All right, let's see what else they sent me. Okay. Lord, a whole box of stuff again. Joshua, you are something. He's a gift sender. This is like Christmas. It is. Just like it. Christmas in August. Everybody's getting ready for the cooler weather. I know all y'all are. I don't know if Joshua will have watches on Facebook or YouTube. Yeah. Search his name and see which one he watches. We're up. Let's see. An angel. I got that right here. A pretty angel. I'm not going to unwrap it all the way because there's so much. He sent me that angel right there. She's really pretty. Is she pretty, y'all? Tomorrow's Recycle Day. I'm glad I got these today because Chris can take all the wrapping and stuff out to the Recycle. He wraps stuff now. He's determined. He's not going to let it get broken. This is another one of those angels, I think. You know what? He had the wrong address on there. We need to contact him and let him know. He did? Yeah. Oh, Joshua had the wrong address. Remember he did that the first time he had the wrong address to the PO box. This is another one of those Jim Showers. Oh, I love Jim Showers. Oh, my goodness. She's whole a ticket. What? Yes. Jim Showers. Hardwood, Hartwood Creek. Jim Shore makes the most beautiful things. How pretty is that? What? Look, she's got eggs. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. Thank you. Thank you, Joshua. Joshua, you can't keep spending money on me. Yeah, you need to save your money, Joshua. Save your money. But I do love mine. Yeah, it's nice to give it to you. The good thing about Northwood is that he knows how to wrap stuff so it don't get broke. He sure does. I have received quite a few things that get broke. Yeah, they're pretty rough with them packages, even if they say fragile. Yes, they throw them around like nobody's business. They expect you to wrap them. Melissa, I don't hear the gate. I think I saw her on there earlier. She's laughing about the shirt. Hey, Melissa. I think this is a chicken by the shape of it. It looks like a chicken. Looks chickeny. I think he just enjoys wrapping stuff. Oh, it's so pretty, too. Sounds like a chicken. No. I'm excited. Okay, I don't know if I'm going to unwrap all these chickens in front of y'all because I think this is a tall chicken. I'm excited. Go ahead and wrap it. Do y'all want it? Why not? Okay. We ain't got nothing else to do. Well, it's, you know, all we're eating is a sandwich for supper and presents. It doesn't get too excited over. You should have had this unwrapped before we came on. Well, maybe you should have all your stuff unwrapped at Christmas before you open up your Christmas presents. Is that what they say it? I didn't know it was going to be wrapped like this or I would have. We couldn't project that. But you know what? It's a gift and you can't complain. King. I guess if you didn't get one, you could complain. Oh, that looks just like a little chicken out there, don't it? What about that? I got chickens that look like this. How pretty is that? I love it. Are you going to sales and finding me these chickens? I think he is. He's going to a sales and finding me chickens. You'll have to tell me where you're finding all these chickens because they don't look, they look, these look like something they might have got at an extra work or You got like a peg on the bottom or something? No. My stars. It's another gym show where we're already finding these beautiful things. Look, she's cooking. Red-headed. Now y'all know there ain't no red-headed angels. Not for us. All right, my last one from Joshua. Tammy likes to get gifts. I do. And I don't open them all and I know it hurts some of y'all's feelings when I don't open them. But y'all, this has been a whirlwind of last few months for us. And they've got this now kind of getting back to normal because the kids are back in school and moved out of the house. And you know what though, what's our remodel starts? It'll be kind of chaos again. Well, a lot of times she unwraps stuff on Real Southern Woman too. Yeah, I do. We just sometimes we, but I just started Real Southern Woman back. Sometimes we do it, sometimes we don't. But you know, and a few weeks, like I said, we're going to be busy with the remodel. So a lot going on. We don't need some model. This is a rooster. A rooster? We got no roosters around here now. How pretty is he? I only rooster around here is me. Now Chris. Look at all my hoodies. Y'all. Titty? I'm going to have to make me some y'all titty. I've made it one other time and the bag busted, but they say that the bags are improved. Let me just see if they work. Because when I opened it up the first time I thought, man, this bag is so thin. I didn't think it was going to hold up. Yep. I can tell it's better quality. It's got a better quality bag now. Okay. I'm not kidding. When they first sent me one, the bag was so paper thin, I knew it was going to bust pieces. It smells good. So I'll make some. I'll make some tomorrow. How's that y'all? Good for. Is that it? And we're going to finish making our sandwiches. And then we can go about our lives. I'm so confused on the website stuff. I'm going to have to get Chris to go in there and see if he can help me figure it out. And he don't ever work on computer stuff that much, but I'm going to tell you I'm my mind is getting blown. Chris don't like a lot of tomato. Is that too thick, Chris, for you? He's not like me. I like a bunch of tomato. This will be mine. And so we're just going to have us a simple BLT. Last night I made a big breakfast. I made bacon and sausage and what else, Chris? A gravy bestie because May was here. Now we'll go ahead and give the tubs a bite. We're going to give them one bite a piece. There's you one happy. Where are the other two? I don't know. I can't believe they run off before you got bacon sitting out. They must have went outside. Happy you want all the bacon? Happy can't hear good. All the chickens think they're going to get bacon. Come here. Come here and I'll give you a bite. All right. This is come here. This is sit. Sit. This is Marcy and Soda. Sit happy. Happy. Sit. Good job. All right. They all eat like hogs because Soda eats like a hog and they're afraid she's going to get their food. All right. So really get us a little bit of lettuce and put on here and we're going to have a delicious BLT. We hope you've enjoyed watching this. Our simple dimple supper. This is the kind of supper you need in the summertime. Something simple. What do you have for lunch, Chris? Chicken nuggets. For McDonald's. Mm-hmm. Which one's mine? This one? Yeah. Nothing like a good old Mater sandwich in the summertime. Thank you, Joshua. And thank you, Lisa, for all my wonderful sweet gifts. And I'm not sure who sent that fish and church, Chris. And everybody else. And everybody else that sends us stuff. Because we just got, I just got apple butter from the apple barn. Yep. And what else did she send me? A sign for the chickens and Lord y'all. I can't think right off the top of my head, but I get stuff and I appreciate all of it. I got somebody that crocheted me some wash rags and put stuff out. Y'all have a wonderful night. And we thank you for watching us on Collard Valley Cooks. And let me know about that intro if it distracts you or not.
