00:00That's pretty good. Not great, but it's pretty good.
00:02This is my mom and we're gonna cook for my great-grandmother's cookbook today.
00:05So the recipe I found for us is goldenrod eggs.
00:07Do you think you can teach me how to make it?
00:08I think so, but you have to follow my direction.
00:10You have to listen to me.
00:12Boil the desired number of eggs and make white sauce.
00:14From my memory, I feel like you melt your butter and then you whisk your flour into it.
00:19Then you add your milk.
00:20You don't get too much milk.
00:21We have a runny white sauce.
00:22I know.
00:23Is it going to incorporate?
00:24Say a little prayer, ask for help.
00:27It's okay.
00:28This is what's cooking them with your mom is like.
00:30Always knows best.
00:32That's pretty good.
00:32Pretty good.
00:32Not great, but it's pretty good.
00:34I keep adding copious amounts of salt.
00:36Most of my family has died of strokes.
00:39Or heart disease.
00:40Heart disease.
00:40What is chipped egg whites?
00:43Not chop, chop, chop. You chip, chip, chip.
00:44Chipping is small chopping.
00:46That makes sense.
00:46So we've each got our toast.
00:48Spread the white sauce.
00:49Well, if you make it a little thicker.
00:51Then run the yellows through a sieve and allow them to remain fluffy.
00:55Would you eat these with a knife and fork when you were a kid?
00:57Oh, then you pick it up.
00:58You pick it up?
00:59Okay.
00:59It takes me back to my mom.
01:01Makes you feel loved.
01:02I feel loved because you're here with me.
01:04That's important.
01:05You are such a mess.
01:06I am a huge mess.
01:07That's part of your charm.
01:09I'm going to get the one.
01:09I SMICA.
01:09Okay.
