00:00The two most important books in any southern household, the Holy Bible and
00:03your grandmother's cookbook. Today we're going through mine. Okay, y'all gonna
00:06help me know what to make next. I'm gonna read some names and you tell me if
00:09there's anything that sounds good. Dot Fur's chocolate cake. The names in here
00:12are great. Fridge cookies. I wrote a story a while back about how Christmas
00:16cookies in my family are not fancy and my mom has had her feelings hurt about
00:19that. So in here she has penciled simple, mundane, unfancy. She's still mad about
00:25it. My great-grandmother's divinity recipe says my recipe and it says
00:29perfect and my mother just said that it doesn't work. I think my great
00:33grandmother's gonna haunt her for that one. Amalgamation cake. Caramel cake. The
00:36matriarchy of my family kills caramel cake. They are good at it. Her peach ice
00:40cream recipe. Now that's a good one. Cheese casserole. Cheese casserole? Nut bread. It
00:45just calls for one cup nuts. The south we just assume it's pecans. It's got coconut
00:48macaroons in here. Boiled custard and that's like eggnog but for Baptists. This
00:52is barbecue chicken. I love an old recipe that calls for catsup. Congealed chicken.
00:56Like the whole chicken? Fruit thing. Pineapple strawberries, red and green grapes,
01:02cantaloupe, lettuce. It's a fruit thing. Just to flip through it's like it's
01:06culinary history and it's family history. This is all handwritten and it's it's
01:10more than a cookbook. It's really like a diary. Tell me what I should make.
