 The dapper doughnut, look, doughnut, looking for whole fat buttermilk and we couldn't find it so next we have to go to Albertsons and then if we can't find it in Albertsons we'll go to Fry's. So they did, they don't have whole buttermilk just low fat so we're gonna go to Albertsons with JV. JV was so good y'all, he pushed my buggy, rung up all my groceries it was just five or six things, then carried the bags to the car, opened up the trunk so we came, we came back inside, I'm gonna get him a toy because I didn't even ask him to do that, that was so sweet baby. Oh that's a keychain. We're at Denny's you guys. Yeah I haven't been in Denny's in like two years, yeah, two years almost. Hold on, what's going on? I have never been in Denny's. We were, we went to the one in Texas when you were around two years ago and we went to the one in Texas when you were around two years old. I don't remember that. Because you were just the baby, that's the last time we've been to Denny's. It seems like a little bit this year. Combo cake. Alright y'all we are done with Denny's. Combo. I didn't even eat all my food, I, that was really a waste, it was an experience for him because I know JV loves pancakes, I ate one and a half pieces of toast, two bites of my egg, a bite of each, a bite of, like literally that was, I didn't eat hard or anything but I'm not even full, it's just something for JV. Give it another hour or two then we're going to go to the gym, let this food settle and we're going to go to the gym and work it out and then, I have some groceries in the back too, but the only thing that's really back there boo boo, it's just bananas, there's nothing back there that's refrigerated okay, it's not bad at all, so y'all the name of that non-profit organization that I am volunteering for is called Dress for Success and I remember them being highlighted on the local news here and they have, this organization is in every major city here in the US and it basically helps women to prepare for the interview, for our jobs, so everything from, good, everything from helping them with their makeup, their jewelry, their clothes, the interview process itself, so I signed up to be a personal shopper, child, we're gonna talk about that in a minute, I signed up to be a personal shopper because I think I have impeccable tastes and I think I can put it well, I can pull myself well together when it comes to specially dressing the world, so JB, we up here eating, he's almost done with his fans cake, put your shoes down baby, put your feet down, what happens is that whatever you're stepping on outside is getting on the car, don't do that baby, halfway done with his food and he's like, he whispers, is this Mexican food? Because our waitress is Latino, I'm like, JB, when the hell did pancakes become Mexican food? Inja hair pasta, feta cheney, I don't know what you want to call it, creamy sauce, we got spinach, we have tomatoes, we have breaded chicken that's going on top, this is for me today, this is for my husband for today and tomorrow. Some Christmas presents, I think I know who this is from, maybe I don't, did I order something? Let's see, it's presents for me, look at JB already, JB, you did this last year, you know what, I can't even see myself, y'all may have to stop soon because my neighbor's coming over, Lord, so let's see, it'll be an early Christmas present wishing you and your family all the best for the remainder of the year and upcoming New Year, all the best tea. Oh girl, I hope it's some weight loss pills in here because mama's clothes are fitting back tight again, oh she got me, oh you know what girl, I really didn't like that other one you sent me, this is, I like this is copper or gold, no you know, you sent me gold last time, photo ready, eye art, love, this could be used for a lash line, I used it for actual eyeshadow, yes, let me go ahead, oh JB you in my way baby, beauty blenders, I needed some more of this, thank you, age rewind, eraser dark circles, yes, what is this, Hercules, got me two of these, this is so pretty, oh this is like a green light, it's pretty, he's made in Germany, all this hair, I haven't heard of this, have y'all heard of this, yeah it's my neighbor, hold on, oh y'all it is, I think it's a little class past 8 o'clock and not 8 30, two days before Thanksgiving, which just makes it too soon, we did a lot today, we did like six different places today, which is a lot, JB went to Karate which he did really well and shortly after that my neighbor came over, she said just to visit, you know, she came over to visit for a while and so funny, like she was asking me, and I'll be good, yeah, JB, JB has a problem with interrupting adults which is on your old school, like I was raised and how my neighbor, she's from East Texas too and she's almost 70, it was very very disrespectful JB, you cannot interrupt adults and he's only five years old, you guys, but it starts at the same time, five and a half, but that cancels out everything, you were horrible when she was here anyway, I don't want to talk about that, I don't want to talk about you right now, so don't do that while I'm recording, okay, anyway y'all she was like okay so what are you gonna do everything, I said yeah I'm gonna do everything, I'm from Longview, so she was shocked that I even do my chicken stock from scratch and so I asked, I said are you going to, she's the only thing that she doesn't cook, it's addressing what she gets from Marie calendars, let me turn it down a little bit, thank you guys, it is Thanksgiving Eve and I have stuff out, look I can't believe I did this, Thanksgiving Eve, I have all my, y'all now I'm getting old, now I have to write everything out so I don't forget anything, this is quite a list and a lot of these things depend on like the dressing depends on me making a stock and the cornbread before, so we're gonna have to go to the store because I need more butter, I need way more butter, I mean I have butter going into the cornbread, the cornbread dressing, pound cake, buttermilk pie, yeah I have all my dishes out and I need to clean everything today, dry everything off, this is gonna be for my grave, let me back out some y'all, I cannot believe that I was like I got all my stuff, I ain't got to go back to the store and I was talking to my best friend on the phone, y'all we were going over what we're all cooking, now she's hosting it at Thanksgiving at her house, she comes from a large family and all her family is their girl, a large Nigerian family and all her family is there and Texas so I was telling her about the cake, I'm cooking a brown sugar pound cake which I merged cooking with Caroline and Divas can cook recipes together and I've made it, this will be my fourth time making this cake and I told her I said you know last year when I made it I used three sticks of butter and that's too much butter, so we were going back and forth on what you know what I could do to still make it a good pound cake but use less butter so that it can still be more, so she was telling me how she did that cut at sour cream it, I wanted to tell y'all that my mom hosts a Thanksgiving dinner in her neighborhood every year, y'all you talk about some cooking people, I come from a huge traditional family and so what she does and I see her posts all the time, my mama's always on social media, girl you can't tell her nothing Oh no, we ain't got time for that, no, we ain't got time for three dogs, three German shepherds at that big dogs, everything eating them out of the house, they love if they got money though anyway um all she does not all but what she does is that she will you know ask for volunteers to uh which is not hard to do because that it's a lot of people in my family but she'll ask for volunteers to help excuse me serve the food, she'll ask for donations whether it be an actual you know ingredients or um money and people don't have to but they like to do it because she's she helps out so she says she may because I called her the day after or she said she made eight pans of dressing eight pans I mean she does it all she'll do dressing she does side she does all the um delicious desserts so I asked her how many people did you serve how many people came by the house 230 people she will rent out chairs and tables in their actual garage and how people they had the fire department out there the police police officers after I was like wow I know last year she had a little over 100 people that stopped by and it's just all outdoors you know people just stopped by grab a plate to go play and go because my mom is a um kitchen cook y'all she she has been doing that as a profession for about 20 years so she knows how to cook like that um she's very kind so my aunts were all out there helping and yeah I'm talking right now I'm filming yeah I definitely can't have nobody over here JV over here licking lemons that I have to put in the bottom of pot like you you dust your lemon in gosh Lord have mercy so right now I'm going to be making my desserts I have to pause the pop so excuse the background hello I have mercy making my desserts and right now I have my chicken on for my chicken stock cranberries are on all right you guys this is the buttermilk pie y'all buttermilk pie so easy to do I'm just saying I know I don't either I'm just saying one cup of buttermilk are balling that's one cup and then we're gonna add I'm gonna add lemon extract and fresh okay do the next one all right you guys I'm making my cornbread and that's enough baby that's enough and um I like to add seasonings directly to the cornbread mixture that way when you're tasting the cornbread itself oh that's new let me open that up when you're tasting the cornbread itself it needs to be opened the other way that has to be open baby so JV's helping me but he's being a pain I'm using the cornbread recipe off the backs of the cornmeal mix I'm omitting the sugar I don't know who likes sweet dressing but girl bless your heart I do not use a mix jiffy cornbread is way too sweet we traditional cornbread dressing does not call for sugar y'all I don't care who you talking to it does not call for sugar this is how we make it out in Texas very very simple the only thing that goes in it we don't do the holy trinity you need to stop it celery onion and a stick of butter no sweetened condensed milk or not sweetened cream of chicken no cream none of that okay chicken broth preferably made from the bones of a chicken you can use chicken stock you can do store-bought but there is a big difference okay you guys this is my buttermilk brine for the actual hands this is about two cups of buttermilk and to that I have onion powder garlic powder paprika Italian seasoning sage poultry seasoning black pepper a little bit of salt and that is it we're going to mix this up I'm going to place these in plastic bags and each individual hand it's going to go in when I only picked up three hands I figured my husband's going to have to work the next day y'all so I'll have one hand by myself the next day so yes let me go ahead and put this together washed off my hands packed them dry and then this is what's going to go over them they're going to be basically marinate for the 24 hours I will be roasting those with basically nothing else in the cavities but I will be putting some red potatoes around the hands towards the last 30 minutes of roasting okay these are my buttermilk hands that are going to be brining overnight like I said I put them in individual plastic bags now you never want to place your meat directly into your refrigerator you want to put it in something either a bowl or on a plate just in case girl just in case I have wiped down everything with chlorox wipes I have bleached down my sink look why do not play I will have um let me show you the cranberry sauce is done and I'm going to taste and see how it gels up a little bit and I like them still a little whole like that really good I did ended up adding like one tablespoon of carol syrup light carol syrup um and I'll probably put a squirt of lemon on here I will place this into the bowl put some saran wrap on it and that is it you guys um let's check on my cornbread I have my cornbread in here that pie will be done in about 10 more minutes the cornbread are given another 20 what is it on it's on 365 girl black people put everything on 365 don't we that cake has a the cake has another I will say another 25 to 30 minutes to go but this pie I give it another 10 or 15 um yeah y'all this is a complete fail um this is my fourth time making this cake many times making a pound cake and I'm trying to figure out what happened what went wrong this did not rise at all so that could be a number of things I didn't put enough bacon soda um perhaps I should have used an extra egg but it didn't rise at all since this is the highlight of my desserts I'm going to have to go ahead and purchase a kit um you're not going with me I'm going to get a box and then add some stuff to it because I'm over at this point and at least with the box cake mix it will be okay also this is a do over this is by Betty Crocker this is a butter for client cake mix this is the closest in my opinion of the brown sugar pound cake now what I added to that even though this says is made with pudding I went ahead and added like one to two tablespoons I didn't even I just not noticed this was sugar free that's okay I think they're all sugar free actually and then I added one tablespoon of vanilla I did three eggs one egg white this is usually what I do one and a half actually one box and like one fourth of this box oh yeah into a pound cake of course some vegetable oil I would rather do that than waste another two sticks of butter I don't want to waste any ingredients that I may need for tomorrow I don't want to waste any more butter no more eggs let's just go with the mix in order of what you think the first next and last picture is one two and three good job JB first next and last oh hold on baby hold on let's flip that page over get this front back and forth all right so these can be a little different I'm hell I can't even get this one let's go on to this one counting by tens do we remember how to count by tens 10 40 50 no no no no no no 10 10 20 60 70 80 90 100 good job JB what is this right here call do you know what this right here is plus sign or addition so when we're adding something we're adding two yes that's equal so if I have three we'll have to sneeze world all the other ones three oh here we go here this is upside down oh go ahead baby go ahead so three spaceship equal you have to count them so if you have three let's count after three there is what how many after three what comes after three what number comes after three don't worry about this what number comes after three four then one number comes after four five all right so do you see the number six over here yeah this blue stick is about on his last leg child go ahead baby I don't think that's JB doesn't get these sayings because he's just a child he's like on his last leg he doesn't have any legs I know baby I know it's meaning it's just about done all right go ahead and put that number on there darlin um this six yes this six at first I thought I was a nine I know right so four plus three what comes after four five but you have three keep counting you have six seven hold on you have four JB cut no JB come up here come up here don't give it up no no no no come up here and I don't think you have all the numbers up here something's off for what comes after four five six seven okay that's why I got this three oh excuse me so this is what we're looking for this is the type of height can you tell and it smells divine yes this is what we're looking for so I'm going to yeah to save on time I'm gonna go ahead and do my caramel sauce today um caramel sauce is fairly easy but difficult at the same time you want to swirl it around this is brown sugar be very careful because this is hot um butter heavy cream goes in and then vanilla and it's that simple I'm gonna take it off the eye and put everything in
