Yes. 02:46 But he just doesn't love it. 02:47 He didn't, he's a good cook now, 02:50 but not until he started having his own children. 02:52 Oh. 02:56 Well, we've also... 02:57 We get a lot of cards and letters 02:59 because we do talk about our mom so much on the program 03:02 and I can't even tell you how many of the cards 03:05 and letters and e-mails saying, 03:07 "Please, why don't you have your mom on the program? 03:09 Why don't you have your mom on the program? 03:10 Wouldn't your mom coming on the program?" 03:12 Well, guess what, today she is here, and sisters, 03:15 why don't we show them up what we're going to cook today. 03:17 All right. 03:19 All right, the big huge surprise, Mom, 03:20 our very favorite dish growing up number one 03:23 what is it? 03:24 Cabbage roll. That's right. 03:27 And then we have Sloppy Joes, and this is a... 03:31 That was a big family treat, right. 03:32 Yes, this I learned from mom. 03:34 And then we have Mama's Rice Patties 03:36 and I still love those to this day. 03:39 And then we're going to make Corn Fritters. 03:42 That's right. 03:43 And it's such a simple, 03:45 these are really simple recipes. 03:46 The cabbage rolls take a little bit more time 03:49 in terms of time 03:51 but the other rest of the recipes... 03:53 Are very quick. Very quick quite easy. 03:56 So, Mom, should we read the recipe? 04:01 Good idea. That's all right. 04:02 Cinda, why don't you read the recipe for us? 04:03 All right. 04:05 So for cabbage rolls you're going to need: 04:30 And then you'll also... 04:32 We also add sauerkraut, 04:34 so you can add some sauerkraut too. 04:36 Or you don't have to whatever. 04:37 I don't add the sauerkraut but... 04:39 We love it. We love it. 04:41 And the reason why we love it 04:43 is because our Grandma made her own sauerkraut 04:47 and, Mom, do you want to tell everybody 04:50 how you learned to make cabbage rolls. 04:53 Well, when I got married, my husband said, 04:56 I had to learn his favorite dish. 05:01 So his mother taught me how to make cabbage rolls. 05:06 Even to go on to pick out the cabbage. 05:09 Now this one is a little too small, 05:12 the leaves are tight and not good to bring off. 05:16 So this one no... 05:19 Let's give a camera get a good picture of this 05:21 so other people can see. 05:22 So they can see that here this is the difference. 05:25 You can see the loose leaves 05:27 and look at what Mom was saying about the tight, 05:29 you see how tight these leaves are right here. 05:31 She said, this is not the size, the kind you want, 05:34 you can kind of see. 05:35 And it's too small. 05:37 But look at the leaves on this one. 05:38 You don't want to on this too big either. 05:40 Okay. 05:41 So here Melissa is off camera, here Melissa catch. 05:45 Oh no, pressure's on. 05:47 Oh, she caught it. Yes. 05:49 Wish you could have seen that. 05:53 You want leaves like this, 05:56 because when you have nice leaves like this there. 05:59 They're pretty green but you also use some them. 06:04 Yeah, you... 06:05 And you wash it really good 06:07 and you can tell this has been washed. 06:08 Yeah, this one is all has been washed. 06:11 You want to choose a pan, a nice heavy pan. 06:15 It doesn't have to be quite this big 06:17 but a nice heavy pan because you can't stir these, 06:21 they have to cook and you can't stir them, 06:23 so you take these leaves so you take off from here 06:26 and you put them in the pan like this 06:31 and I'm going need one more. 06:33 I don't care how many times I've made cabbage rolls. 06:36 You'll always give us a little something 06:38 that's going to stick on the bottom of the pan. 06:39 So what Mom is sharing with you 06:41 that if you put those leaves down there, 06:43 it protects your cabbage rolls 06:45 because if anything is going to stick 06:46 it's going to be those leaves, right Mom? 06:48 That's right. 06:49 And then you want to take those... 06:51 Now wait a minute, you got to love them. 06:52 She's fine, she's cutting the hard stem out. 06:54 So that it will lay the way down you want to cut this out 06:58 so that it'll laid down in there. 07:01 And this one if it burn it's okay, 07:04 just throw it away. 07:06 Because it is outer leaves. 07:08 It's not what you want anyway. 07:09 And you just place that around your pan. 07:11 Okay, now let me switch places with you. 07:13 Oh, wait now, you have to show how to core it. 07:16 You core it. Let's get our trash can. 07:19 In order to get the leaves off 07:22 you have to cut it at an angle. 07:26 You stick your knife in there and cut it at an angle. 07:31 And this is called coring the cabbage. 07:33 If anything it's the most difficult to me 07:36 this is the part that's the most difficult 07:37 to do it right 'cause I don't want to cut 07:40 and I don't want to cut into the leaves. 07:42 And so you've got a core it correctly. 07:44 So let's show them the core. 07:47 So that you can see what that looks like. 07:51 And you need to go deep enough 07:53 so that your leaves will come off good. 07:57 So mom turn it towards the camera in here 07:59 and they can get yeah, now they can get a good shot 08:02 of what you're doing in there. 08:05 She's taking her knife in and around 08:07 and she's getting even more. 08:12 And what's the reason that we core the cabbage, Mom? 08:14 So the leaves will come off. 08:16 Right, because if you don't, they're not going to come off 08:19 that easily anyway. 08:21 And so she's just going to keep... 08:27 All right, now leaves are not there too tough. 08:32 Tight. 08:33 So right, so they're not... 08:36 We need to soften them. 08:37 So we put them in the boiling water 08:40 and it needs to be boiling and covered. 08:45 Slide on down. 08:47 Here let me get you a paper towel, Mom. 08:51 Here you go, and... 08:54 So this is like it has a quite a few different steps to it. 08:59 But it's not like difficult to do. 09:01 No, it's not difficult. 09:04 But then the leaves come off very easy. 09:08 Do you want me to de-vein them? 09:11 Just a minute. 09:13 I just want to get another one out here, 09:14 then I'm gonna let Linda take the rest of the leaves off. 09:19 If you can... And you can see... 09:22 Mom had all of us kids helping her with this. 09:27 We all had... 09:28 You need something to hold on to it. 09:29 So it will stay where you want it, 09:32 so you take the leaves off. 09:34 See how nice they come off. 09:36 I'll let you do the rest of them. 09:38 Okay. I'll slide back over. 09:40 Okay. 09:41 So now Mom's going to do the next step. 09:43 She's going to take this vein, 09:45 but go slow so the camera can get it close up now 09:47 so right down here. 09:48 So she's just taking what we call the vein 09:50 and she's sliding that off. 09:52 And you don't want to go all the way through, see. 09:54 So keep your hand on here 09:56 and the camera can catch it, Mom, 09:57 if you just do one more so that we can show them. 09:59 Okay. Okay. 10:00 And just keep it down here and then get a close up. 10:02 You want to put those leaves on the hot water 10:03 so they'll be softer. 10:05 Sure, sure, there you go. 10:11 So you can see this, she didn't cut it, 10:13 see how it bends now, before it wouldn't have bend 10:15 so nice, so if you de-vein it like that, 10:18 then you got a nice little roll for you. 10:21 Okay. See this, all right. 10:23 Okay, while she's getting the leaves piling up, 10:25 you want to, you want a cookie sheet. 10:29 Here I need something to put this in 10:30 because we need to put the... 10:31 Melissa, do we have a cookie sheet. 10:33 You know we call Melissa 10:34 because Melissa's Brenda's assistant, 10:36 Melissa Hoffman. 10:38 She's our Kids' Network assistant. 10:39 Her and CQ Neibauer, they are right off set here. 10:44 And so they just hand us whatever we need, 10:47 isn't that awesome? 10:49 Wish they would come home with me. 10:50 We don't know what we do without our crew, 10:52 I got to tell you. 10:53 So let me get this here. 10:56 We are thankful for Carrie too. 10:58 And Carrie, yes. Carrie Avery. 11:01 And I got to tell you, 11:02 recently we have a really wonderful team 11:06 but we have somebody that joined us recently 11:08 in our team. 11:09 She works for our Kids' Network as well 11:11 Carrie Avery Durfee. 11:13 And you might have read about her 11:15 in my book Passionate Prayer, the story Opening Prison Doors, 11:18 the story of Carrie is in there, 11:19 you want to read that but Carrie's joined our team, 11:22 she's our programming manager for Kids' Network 11:25 and they also when we're doing cooking they come. 11:27 So we have Chrystique Neibauer, 11:29 we have Melissa Hoffman my assistant, 11:31 and Carrie Avery Durfee. 11:34 So we really appreciate and love them 11:36 and Chrystique is in charge of, 11:38 the head of all the graphic department at 3ABN. 11:40 So we've got a really awesome team 11:41 and we appreciate all of you. 11:44 Okay. All right now... 11:45 So you want to explain the next step. 11:47 I'm going to move over here... 11:48 The next step is to make, to make the inside the filling. 11:53 And you'll want to... 11:57 Turn the oven... 11:59 Did you turn that on? Cinda, that burner. 12:01 I will. She's gotcha. Okay. 12:05 And we've already precooked the onions 12:07 because Mom knows her whole family like, 12:09 we do not like raw onions, we like cooked onions. 12:12 And you start out with an onion dry stuff. 12:18 And you brown that. 12:21 And that's already cooked 12:22 so you can sense it is already cooked, 12:24 you can, you can add your burger. 12:27 You just leave this one down, Mom. 12:28 I know the camera won't get it. 12:30 You can use any kind of burger that you prefer. 12:35 This is the kind that I've found 12:37 that is the closest to grandma's. 12:40 Well... 12:42 Grandma's hamburger. Grandma's flavor. 12:44 It's the closest to a real hamburger texture 12:47 that, that we have found 12:48 and it has wonderful mild flavor 12:52 so it takes on whatever seasoning you give it 12:55 which is nice. 12:57 That's right, it does, it takes on... 12:58 And that's what you want a burger 12:59 that is not already seasoned. 13:01 I add a little bit of beef style seasoning 13:06 from Mckay's, right. 13:09 There we go. Put that in there. 13:11 Which kind of helps to give it a little bit better flavor. 13:16 And a little bit of salt. Okay. 13:22 And then you want to put your rice in it. 13:25 Not yet. Okay. 13:27 And, Mom, you always do the medium grain rice. 13:31 Yes, you can use the large, 13:33 you can use any grain you want, whatever you like. 13:36 I just prefer the medium grain rice for texture. 13:41 Well, grandma always used it so you know 13:43 how you get used to the kind of rice 13:44 that you're comfortable with. 13:46 I actually don't like it with the long grain rice 13:50 because I'm so used to the medium grain 13:52 so I always prefer medium. 13:53 It does make a difference in the texture 13:55 and you just add the rice, there are three cups of rice. 13:58 It's raw rice, it's not cooked. 14:00 No, because it cooks inside of your cabbage roll. 14:13 When I first learned to do this... 14:18 We were not vegetarians at that time and of course, 14:21 Mom was not either. 14:23 And she taught me with hamburger so ground beef. 14:29 So it was a challenge to me to come up with something 14:34 that was similar to that. 14:37 Mom, maybe you can tell us when did we become vegetarian. 14:40 Oh, that was not until after Linda was born. 14:43 Oh. 14:44 I had been, I had left the church 14:47 and I came back 14:49 and it wasn't until I had a child 14:51 that I realized 14:53 just how important the responsibility 14:56 that God had given to me. 14:58 And I wanted to be sure 15:01 that I was able to raise my children 15:05 so that they would be in the church. 15:08 I think every mother... 15:09 And you also want us to eat healthy. 15:11 That's right. 15:12 So we've told stories and we hear Mom, 15:15 we shared, shared stories. 15:17 I know you've listened to but you know where you've been 15:22 we grew up without a lot of money 15:23 and you were really ingenious, very creative... 15:27 About cooking. 15:29 Cooking and fixing meals 15:30 that were healthy little and nothing. 15:32 You know so... 15:34 You can turn this off now, it's ready. 15:36 We did, we did. 15:38 But isn't that true, Mom, you had to be creative 15:41 because you always didn't have a lot of ingredients. 15:44 Even to this day I can't follow a recipe 15:47 because if I look at a recipe 15:49 and it tells me to use something I'll say 15:51 well, I don't have that 15:52 but I have this and they'll work. 15:55 And sometimes it comes out even better you know, 15:59 you created some really awesome things that way. 16:02 And that's the way I raise my children 16:04 so that they know how to do that. 16:06 Well, now you're going to show us, Mom, 16:08 how to roll the cabbage rolls and this is... 16:12 Okay. 16:13 Here let me give you, here Mom I'll give you... 16:15 I just need one. Just give me one. 16:18 You want littler one, a little one. 16:19 She just needs to show. 16:21 This is the end right here we're to cut off. 16:25 And you just take a little bit of this mixture 16:30 the rice mixture... 16:31 And you just spoon it in so when she says a little bit, 16:36 it's just going to feel kind of like the palm of her hand. 16:38 Yeah, kind of like, whatever depends on how big your leaf is 16:42 and you take one side and fold it over. 16:45 And then you roll from this end and bring it over, 16:50 roll it like this 16:53 and then you just simply tuck this one end. 16:56 And there's your cabbage roll. 16:58 Let's each do a few of them so that we can show them 17:00 how to layer in the pan. 17:02 Okay. 17:03 Also I want to see if you all still know how to do it. 17:06 I'm just teasing, we make cabbage rolls... 17:08 We all make them all the time. 17:10 And you can just put in them in and you can fold over one side 17:14 and fold over and go that way too 17:16 'cause I've seen both ways, 17:18 but I think the side one is better. 17:20 Well, this the way grandma taught me, 17:21 so that's the way that I do it. 17:24 That's right. Give me a little bit more. 17:27 Okay, so I'm just going to fold it over like this. 17:33 Let me just bend in... 17:35 Here, Mom, keep going. 17:36 We want to show how to layer. And then tuck it in. 17:40 And we just layer it right in the pan. 17:42 Here's mine. Okay. 17:45 And you just keep layering it up 17:46 and layering it up 17:48 and once we have filled all this with the layers, 17:53 Mom, what do we do? 17:57 So when you get your layer 18:01 and you can't put anymore on the bottom layer. 18:04 You start at the top. 18:06 Well, first, now you know tomatoes... 18:08 You put half of your jar tomatoes 18:11 and I use the can tomatoes. 18:12 These are Mom's can tomatoes. 18:16 Home can tomatoes. 18:17 So I can a couple cases of tomatoes 18:19 for each one of the girls. 18:20 And I love helping you. 18:22 I'm glad you're little close to me now. 18:25 Linda lives only like 25 minutes from Mom, 18:28 so she gets to go over and help Mom cook 18:31 and so she's very blessed so I wish we could, 18:37 and sometimes 18:39 my husband and I will make a trip up there, 18:41 and Mom and Dad both will help Joel and I put up freeze corn. 18:45 They'll help us do blueberries and all kinds of stuff 18:50 so sometimes we're able to do that. 18:53 Okay, Mom, so now you've got your second layer on there. 18:56 You're going to put the rest of your tomatoes. 18:59 You put half of them on this one. 19:02 Half on the first layer. Half on the first layer. 19:05 And then the second layer. 19:08 And I have washed my hands but I always squeeze them 19:11 so that they, there's, they go around 19:14 and then we like sauerkraut on ours. 19:17 Because grandma always made her homemade sauerkraut. 19:20 Right. So we put sauerkraut on. 19:21 I'm the one that doesn't like sauerkraut. 19:22 And so for mine, mom always makes mine special, 19:25 she leaves it off. 19:26 Accept you do you like sauerkraut. 19:28 I love sauerkraut, just not with cabbage rolls. 19:30 And I don't like the flavor 19:32 because Grandma always made it for me special 19:34 and you always made it for me special. 19:36 When you're there by yourself. 19:38 Yes, so Mom, when we get the second layer on here, 19:41 you're going to do the repeat it. 19:42 Then you repeat it what you've done. 19:44 And then how much water you're going to put in there? 19:46 If you have had little, how much water? 19:50 Yeah, we're gonna tell them how much 19:52 and we're gonna show them the finished products. 19:53 Okay, you want it not to cover 19:56 but where you can see the liquid in it. 19:58 It usually takes in a pot this size, 20:00 it will take almost a quart of water. 20:04 So not to cover 'em completely 20:05 but just where you can see the water. 20:07 We're going to cook them for how long over... 20:10 Bring them to the boil and... 20:11 At least an hour. At least an hour. 20:13 And you want to bring it, bring it to a boil, 20:15 then turn it down on low so it won't be, 20:19 so it won't burn. 20:20 And then you want to cover it. 20:22 And then we're going to show you one 20:24 that you've already done, 20:26 and we've got one right over here 20:27 and look at, these are all ready to go, 20:29 ready to eat and so you can... 20:32 You know what? 20:33 I think I should get to try one. 20:36 Wait a minute. 20:37 Yeah, we got to wait till the end of the program, sis. 20:39 What? 20:40 I know because right now... 20:42 We know you like these. 20:44 We have, we have something else coming up, sis, 20:46 that is really special... 20:48 We have my Sloppy Joes. 20:50 That's right. Actually it's mom Sloppy Joes. 20:52 I know, she made them for us. 20:54 Let me read the recipe. 20:56 For Sloppy Joes you will need: 21:30 Now, Mom, I don't know where you got this recipe 21:33 but it is always been one of my favorites. 21:36 I think you can say 21:38 it's a family favorite for sure. 21:40 It is. That's why it's in the show. 21:45 My husband loves it. He'll eat it for breakfast. 21:48 So I'm going to... 21:49 I'm going to start it, Mom, like you taught, 21:53 so if I'm doing it wrong, you tell me. 21:55 I'll tell you. I'll tell you. I'm sure she will. 22:00 Okay, so I also want mom, 22:04 can you tell them, we say... 22:08 In fact I think every single program 22:11 we tell the folks out here that we don't, 22:14 none of us like raw onions, where do we get that? 22:17 I don't like raw onions. 22:21 I cook with them but I don't like them raw. 22:25 So you never serve us raw onions, 22:27 never did, did you? 22:29 No. No. 22:30 And so see now you know why we don't like raw onions. 22:34 The secret is out. The secret is out. 22:37 And, Mom, we love you. 22:38 Yes, so, Mom, just like you would be approved of this, 22:43 this are pre-cooked, 22:45 we call them Micheff Sister onions 22:47 but we really should call them Micheff onions. 22:49 Yeah. I'm gonna use the wooden one. 22:51 So these are pre-cooked onion. 22:53 So since we precooked them, 22:56 I'm not going to add the two tablespoons of oil 22:59 because anytime you can cut down on the oil, 23:03 that's good. 23:04 Your body needs a little bit but just not a lot. 23:09 Okay, so since we've already got our onions still clear, 23:14 we'll add our burger. 23:15 We'll give you the job, Mom. 23:17 And I'm using the Eve's burger. 23:20 My favorite. We all love that. 23:25 And then the celery, the diced celery. 23:32 And like I said, I don't know where you... 23:34 How you came up with this recipe 23:36 but you were always creative. 23:39 Where did you get that recipe, Mom? 23:41 I don't remember. 23:43 That's how she answers. 23:44 She don't remember. Maybe she just created it. 23:46 She'd done it for so long. 23:47 It's probably one I just made up. 23:50 Probably, because you were, you must have... 23:54 Dad must have loved Sloppy Joes. 23:56 When I started in the kitchen, Mom, 23:58 I never actually have a lot of memory of you 24:00 with a cookbook. 24:02 In fact, I don't think I've ever seen her with a cookbook. 24:05 Well, she displays ours. I have it. 24:10 They're right in her kitchen. She doesn't use them. 24:14 Well, yes I do sometimes. You use our cookbooks? 24:16 Yes. Mom. 24:18 Wow! 24:19 See our own Mom uses our cookbook, 24:21 that's a really big compliment. 24:25 Yeah, I do sometimes. 24:28 So you really just had to create recipes 24:31 because you didn't have a lot of food 24:32 and a lot of ingredients. 24:34 A lot of times we didn't know 24:35 what we're going to eat the next meal. 24:37 That's true. 24:38 Maybe our church member 24:40 or somebody would bring us a dozen corn 24:44 or something from their garden or whatever 24:47 and that's what we had to eat, 24:49 so you learn to use what you had. 24:54 That's true. 24:55 I remember that you had a lot of beans 24:57 and one time you were really creative 24:59 and Daddy came home and what happened? 25:01 Yeah, bean sausages story. 25:03 Remember those bean sausages, they were good. 25:06 Actually, we were living with another colporteur family, 25:08 I mean I colporteur, 25:10 my husband sold books at that time 25:12 so they called him a colporteur, 25:13 now they call him literature evangelist. 25:16 But we hadn't had any sales for a long time 25:20 and we did get beans have it, 25:24 we have beans and we cooked those up 25:26 and they were red and I thought 25:28 I went through different cookbooks 25:30 and I finally came up with one that said sausage patties, 25:34 and I thought, oh, why can't we roll those out 25:37 make a more quite little sausages 25:41 and so we did 25:42 and when the guys came home that night, 25:47 they were sitting on the counter 25:48 waiting for them 25:50 and they thought that they were real sausages. 25:53 That's pretty good. 25:54 You know Daddy came home with a lot, 25:56 but our Dad really, it was so important, 26:00 more important to him 26:01 that he gets the Christians books 26:03 in the homes where people can have that spiritual food 26:06 that if they didn't have the money 26:07 to pay for those books, Daddy traded them 26:10 whatever they had to trade for them. 26:11 So what are some of the really unusual things 26:13 Daddy would come home with that he traded book for. 26:16 A miniature horse. You know what? 26:18 I remember Daddy pulling up. 26:20 As kids we would always run outside 26:22 because we would be so excited to see Daddy's coming home 26:26 with something today. 26:28 We came home and I can still remember to this day 26:31 seeing that little horse 26:33 in his backseat of his little car, 26:37 we were so excited. 26:41 One time it was a boat. 26:43 Oh, we liked that too. Yeah. 26:45 Because that's how we all learned 26:46 how to water ski. 26:48 We just never knew when Dad was coming home. 26:50 Not from that boat, he didn't learn 26:52 how to ski... 26:53 water ski because there was a little robot 26:55 that I had to pay, I had to paint it and fix it up 26:59 so that he could sell it 27:01 and get the money for the books. 27:04 He brought it home and you fixed it up 27:05 so it would sell. 27:07 Yeah. That happened a lot. 27:09 And you know that's another thing 27:10 that we all get from Mom, 27:14 Mom's extremely artistic Mom can draw, she can paint... 27:19 Very creative. And sing like an angel. 27:22 I mean I still remember, 27:23 I was so proud watching mom sing solos up in church, 27:28 and I still remember that 27:29 but Brenda is actually got the most of that talent 27:35 for mom of the painting, 27:37 because Brenda paints incredible 27:40 and sing beautiful but you play incredible. 27:44 I'm getting it Mom, Mom, Mom's after me 27:46 because she says, 27:48 it's time to add the ketchup so she's after me, 27:51 you all aren't even seeing that. 27:53 She's like add that. 27:55 She's aren't you gonna add that? 27:57 I go, just a minute, Mom. Aren't you gonna add that? 27:59 But I got to share since they were talking about 28:02 how we'd love to hear and Mom sing. 28:04 That was such a special, it's a special, 28:07 we're talking about childhood food 28:08 but the counted memories are special to not just food 28:12 and would Mom would sing first of all 28:15 when I started playing the piano 28:16 when I was eight years old. 28:18 I played for my first church service 28:20 when I was eight and a half. 28:21 And I still to this day remember the very first time 28:26 that Mom got up to sing 28:27 and I was accompanying her on the piano and I... 28:30 It's such a special memory to me, Mom, 28:32 to this day of all the times 28:34 that Mom would get up there to sing 28:36 and I could play for her. 28:37 That was just so special 28:39 and then I know my sisters are going to be able 28:41 to jump right in here on this one, 28:42 but one of our very favorite things in the evening. 28:45 If we didn't get in trouble and we were in bed on time 28:49 with all our trips to the party 28:50 and our extra drinks of water over with 28:52 and we were in the bed on time. 28:54 All five of us had to be Mom would do something very special 28:58 and she would play the piano 29:00 and sometimes she would sing to us. 29:01 He could have called Ten Thousand Angles. 29:03 That was my favorite, 29:05 she sing it over and over again. 29:07 And it was and I love the one, Mom, you would sing, 29:09 I don't know about tomorrow. 29:13 That just a beautiful songs that Mom would sing. 29:16 And so that was a special thing 29:18 we were all peer pressure would make sure everybody, 29:21 whoever gets to trouble, we're going to bed in time 29:24 because Mom is going to sing to us. 29:25 Even if one of us would start to complain 29:28 we'd go, no, no, no don't do it. 29:35 Do you remember that, Mom? I do. 29:40 You know that I think that parents today 29:45 don't spend enough really good quality time 29:47 with their children, 29:49 they need to spend more time to make those, 29:51 those moments count with their kids, and you know, 29:53 I'm sure Mom with five kids 29:55 couldn't wait to get all her kids in bed and shoo 29:57 she give over a minute to herself. 29:59 And yet she was still thinking about us 30:01 when she in tucked us all in to go to the piano 30:04 and sing just so sweetly to all of us 30:06 and sing us to sleep. 30:07 I know, I know. 30:09 Looks like Cinda's ready for the Sloppy Joe. 30:11 Okay, so Mom, you always told me 30:14 that if you let it simmer, the flavors intensify. 30:17 Right. 30:18 And in fact the color gets a little bit deeper. 30:21 This is some I made ahead of time for the sample. 30:24 You want to taste it and see and see if I, 30:27 if I did a good job. 30:29 Now we like Cinda to be the taster for us. 30:31 Yeah, Mom, is saying the same thing, 30:33 Cinda you're not getting out of that job, 30:35 she is our taster. 30:38 Hey, I don't mind because I even got little tiny buns, 30:42 aren't they cute? 30:44 They are so cute. One bite? 30:45 Okay. Can't believe she did that. 30:49 I'll join you. 30:51 Is that like yours? That's good. 30:55 All right. All right. 30:58 Well, our next recipe is then again another family favorite 31:02 and that is... 31:03 Oh, oh, we can't do that yet. 31:05 We got to show you the finished product over here. 31:08 I'm not going to cheat you out of that shot. 31:10 Look at this, it's garnished so nicely 31:12 and look at that beautiful Sloppy Joe. 31:15 She's got some celery sticks and carrots 31:17 and some baked pita chips right there. 31:21 That's good. Oh, you like it, Mom? 31:22 Okay, so now... 31:25 Mom's gonna finish that she's like. 31:28 We're finishing ours. 31:29 All right, while they're chewing, 31:31 I am going to read the recipe for Momma's rice patties. 31:35 For this you will need: 32:03 Now, I love rice patties so much. 32:05 But when we were growing up, 32:07 we weren't completely vegan growing up when we started 32:09 and so we did used some eggs and some cheese. 32:13 But they were overall vegetarian. 32:15 And so Mom's original recipe, you had eggs in it. 32:19 So it was a little bit challenging to come up with, 32:22 you know, this recipe to make it vegan. 32:26 And in fact, there's a recipe in our cookbook that I, 32:29 you know, came up with it was something really close 32:31 and that's good, but one thing about that particular recipe 32:34 it will, you know, 32:36 don't be afraid it will crumble a little bit sometimes, 32:39 it doesn't hold together... 32:40 The crumbles taste delicious though. 32:43 Yeah, they do. 32:44 So when I was creating this recipe, Mom, 32:47 for trying to tweak it little bit, and I was like, 32:49 you know, I used corn starch 32:51 when we're baking the replaced eggs, 32:53 what if I do that for this, and guess what? 32:56 It was, it works. 32:58 And I should have just called Mom, I should have just, 33:01 it has save me a whole lot of trouble 33:03 and of course, 33:04 I wouldn't have enjoyed all those crumbs so much. 33:08 So this is really easy recipe. 33:11 So Mom, I'm gonna have you mix it up, 33:13 so you're gonna dump the rice in and... 33:16 Just like when we're little, Mom. 33:18 Yeah, so. We just watch you. 33:19 Are they doing? What? 33:23 What are you making? 33:25 Well, I would have let you do it. 33:31 That's right, which is really when we were little girls, 33:33 we wouldn't have Mom doing, she'll have us doing it. 33:36 That's right. 33:37 And that how we learned, isn't that right Mom? 33:40 You learn by doing it. Just dump everything in. 33:43 Yup, just all in 33:45 and again we've used the Eve's burger and... 33:48 You never worried about the mess 33:50 and that's where we all get it. 33:52 We don't worry about the mess. 33:53 No, I do want to tell you... 33:54 No because she had us cleaning up. 33:57 So she wasn't worried. 33:59 I do want to tell you about the breadcrumbs. 34:02 I have these just, 34:04 these are just whole wheat bread 34:06 that I put in a food processor and that's it. 34:08 They were not dried, right? 34:10 And they're not dried and this is not dried, 34:12 it's just a fresh bread. 34:13 Because I did not, you know, realize 34:17 that when you buy seasoned breadcrumbs 34:18 in your regular grocery store, look at that label 34:21 and those ingredients on that label are so long 34:24 and if you've got all kinds of ingredients in there, 34:27 what else is on there is that they have, 34:30 they're not vegan, they have eggs, 34:32 they have dairy, they have milk, 34:35 they have butter and... 34:37 Whole lot of words you can't pronounce. 34:39 That's right. And wasn't that scary. 34:41 Whey, a lot of people don't realize 34:43 that whey is dairy. 34:45 So W-H-E-Y is in there, that's dairy. 34:48 So that's not vegan. 34:49 And so when I looked all that, I was like, 34:51 "Wow, this does not look like I'm gonna put in my body." 34:54 So I thought I'm gonna try this with just fresh breadcrumbs 34:59 and that's what I did and it worked out really nice, 35:01 it was a good binder, 'cause one of the things 35:05 that's works as a good binder is, 35:07 you know, the breadcrumbs. 35:08 So I'm just gonna add those to you, Mom. 35:11 Okay. 35:12 And then the Bragg's liquid aminos 35:15 which is substitute for soy sauce. 35:19 Soy sauce. 35:20 Okay, and I want to help her out with that. 35:22 Cinda, you can... You want starch? 35:24 Yeah, you can, here you go and just put that. 35:27 And that cornstarch will make 35:28 all the difference in the world. 35:30 Linda, you can get this pan a little bit hotter. 35:32 We always say that you're watching them, 35:34 we have to get everything out 35:36 because what did you always tell us as kids. 35:38 Tell them, are we lying, 35:40 do you like us to get every drop out of the pan? 35:43 When you have to do without and you are wondering 35:46 where the next meal's coming from, 35:48 you watch those little crumbs. 35:50 Yeah, we're telling you the truth. 35:53 Mom's will get every drop out of that bowl or pan 35:57 or whatever it is. 35:59 So we do, Mom. We don't waste it. 36:04 Well, Mom's gonna have to get that one out 36:06 because it's, yeah, we're stuck in there a little bit. 36:10 Put that over there. 36:12 And I'm gonna make sure this is nice and hot. 36:15 Is that turned up as high as it go. 36:17 As far as I can held. 36:19 All right, so Mom is going to just be mixing that up 36:22 and it looks a little crumbly 36:24 but I think when it's completely mixed, 36:27 you'll see because what we're gonna do girls 36:29 is we're all gonna shape a patty. 36:32 Yup, so you're gonna get your gloves here, 36:34 gloves for your Mom. 36:35 Get our handy-dandy gloves. 36:37 We want to thank Melissa for giving us, 36:38 she always stuffs our pockets in here with our gloves 36:41 and the things that we need. 36:42 She's very talented, 36:44 'cause she doesn't want her running back 36:45 'cause if you know, 36:47 if any of us know all three of us girls, 36:49 we don't stand still too often, we're always moving. 36:53 And Melissa just kind of goes with it. 36:56 Yeah, she just catches up with where we are 36:58 and you don't even know sometimes she stuck that 36:59 in our pocket but can I just take a second 37:02 and I know my sisters want to join us. 37:03 And, Mom, I want you to be able to thank Lucy too. 37:06 I want to thank Lucy Neuharth, 37:08 who was our wardrobe director for Kids' Network, 37:12 for our Kids' Time Bible Story. 37:13 She is in charge of all wardrobe, 37:15 and she sews all those beautiful costumes 37:18 for Bible stories 37:19 and she volunteers all of her time. 37:21 She works with us in Tiny Tots. 37:23 Yes.

Let's read the recipe. 41:50 For the Corn Fritters you'll need: 42:07 I have to join Brother Jim, I love corn fritters. 42:12 Mom always made them for us and they are simple, easy 42:15 and when you see them, 42:17 I mean you can make them the day before 42:19 and even serve them the next day. 42:21 They hold together really well. 42:22 In fact, Linda eats them cold the next day. 42:24 Sort of. I like most things cold so. 42:26 And when you see how easy, I was thinking that's all. 42:29 But sometimes they're so simple recipes, 42:32 that are really the favorite, you know, 42:33 we're gonna too quick. 42:35 But like you always say, Mom, you had simple ingredients. 42:38 You never, you didn't have money 42:40 to buy real expensive stuff. 42:42 That's right. People would give you things. 42:44 And the other thing about Mom when you cooked, 42:47 you didn't usually, I mean, 42:48 you didn't put things out of the box. 42:51 I mean... 42:52 It was all from scratch, 42:53 she even made homemade potato chips 42:55 when I was kid we were like, 42:56 "Oh, that kids at school have potato chips, 42:58 we don't have any." 42:59 So she said, okay. 43:01 So she made some much potato chips 43:03 and they were good. 43:04 Yeah. 43:06 Okay, we have cream corn going in the bowl here 43:10 and you would just will not believe 43:12 how easy this is. 43:14 Let me turn this on here. Okay. 43:16 Someone must have given daddy a case of corn for some books. 43:21 She took some and blended up 43:23 and then she made her own cream corn. 43:25 Okay. Was that true? 43:28 Did you make it? I have in the past. 43:30 Yeah, that's what I thought. 43:33 Now we're gonna just do some red pepper flakes. 43:35 And that's optional if you don't. 43:37 A little bit of salt there. 43:41 So where do we get our love for hot food. 43:43 From daddy. Daddy. 43:46 See how she said that. Not me. 43:50 Okay, here is cracker crumbs 43:52 and they're just been crushed up really fine. 43:56 And we're gonna just stir that together. 43:59 You need to get the skillet hot. 44:00 Yes.

She does. She's very strong. 44:33 Mom, Mom I can punch them too. 44:35 It also keeps the food off her on her apron. 44:40 Thanks, sis, that looks pretty good. 44:42 So now all we do I've just put some spray in there 44:46 and we're gonna, 44:48 this is actually about a fourth a cup, 44:50 you can make these any size that you want. 44:52 And we'll just put it like that. 44:54 I usually take this and does... 44:56 See that padding Melissa.
