Speaker 3: You know, you get to a place where you're just

46
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 3: trying to transition in your career. I know, for me,

47
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 3: once I was in it and kissing thirty, I started

48
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 3: thinking like, Wow, can I do this for the rest

49
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 3: of my life? And what else should I be doing

50
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 3: for the rest of my life? And I think, you know,

51
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 3: for me, it was really just wanting to move on

52
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 3: and how do I move on? Was my big challenge.

53
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: And that's a challenge.

54
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 2: And the fear because when you're making changes, you don't

55
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 2: know because you in the business where it's not a

56
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 2: forty hour week job. Okay, you're an entrepreneur, that's what

57
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 2: you are. You're a small business owner. So that means

58
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,919
Speaker 2: that the great moments are great and die moments can

59
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 2: scare you to death because you don't know if you

60
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 2: can come up out of them. As you, as my

61
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 2: listeners are listening to the show or watching this moment,

62
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 2: then talk to them about how can they overcome fear

63
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 2: and what did you do to sustain yourself in them

64
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:07,519
Speaker 2: down moments?

65
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: Oh God, great question.

66
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 3: You know what I did to out overcome my fear

67
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 3: was to call myself fearless. I mean, if you have

68
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 3: my social media site I called myself Yo Yo, fearless. Really,

69
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,519
Speaker 3: I had to get real with myself. I had to

70
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 3: stop lying on myself, living a pretentious lifestyle, wanting to

71
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,519
Speaker 3: just be famous. I had to really focus on my

72
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 3: financial goals and really create a budget for myself, treat

73
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 3: my money like it was work. And that took work.

74
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 3: I really had to set aside some time for myself.

75
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 3: I had to let the old me die so that

76
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 3: the new me could grow. Going back trying to chase

77
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 3: old money, going after old debt, and really just trying

78
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 3: to chase an old dream. I had to create something

79
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 3: new and that took me pausing in my life, and

80
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 3: in that pause, I was getting myself together.

81
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 2: You know, it's really important people hear that, because there

82
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 2: are no rules in any of our lives, you know,

83
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 2: especially when you're an entrepreneur and a small business owner.

84
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:09,320

Speaker 2: not just want to be an entrepreneur, but want to

93
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 2: be an artist.

94
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 3: Well, you know, when I talk to anybody just about life,

95
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 3: I say, first of all, the first step you have

96
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 3: to do is get real with yourself. You really have

97
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 3: to do the work. A lot of people want to

98
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 3: be famous, a lot of people want overnight success. A

99
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:50,479
Speaker 3: lot of people are looking just to get rich, and

100
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 3: I tell them to go to longevity is you have

101
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 3: to find your purpose in life. I mean, right, if not,

102
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 3: you just you just you're just going from one place

103
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 3: to another place. But how do you create that foundation?

104
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 3: For me, I had to. I had to build my confidence,

105
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 3: and that was doing some outside work. I was me

106
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 3: going back to school working on my associates degree. I

107
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 3: was thinking that was gonna build my confidence. What it

108
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 3: did was it showed me just how to move forward.

109
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 3: I went to acter school thinking I was tired of

110
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 3: playing the home roles and how do I get the

111
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,039
Speaker 3: lawyer role. I went and learned out how fake I

112
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 3: really was, and so that helped me become my real self.

113
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 3: Knowing that I have to do the work. So a

114
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 3: lot of the things I went to do to advance

115
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 3: me in different careers really helped me align myself as

116
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,559
Speaker 3: a great person. And so I would tell anybody who's

117
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 3: trying to do anything in life, first of all, you

118
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 3: have to surrender to God. I mean, you know, you're

119
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,719
Speaker 3: taking yourself as far as you can take yourself. The

120
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 3: next level is you have to go to God. And

121
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 3: you know, don't be too big. It's not just me, man,

122
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 3: It's not I did it. I mean, you know, God

123
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:04,239
Speaker 3: has placed greake people along my path and I recognize them.

168
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 2: Rashan's Kitchen. Now, let's talk about because black people get

169
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 2: stereotyped on the type of meals that they can present.

170
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 2: You know, we always you see us black, they automatically.

171
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 1: Go soul food on Yeah.

172
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:33,559
Speaker 2: Okay you does that annoy you?

173
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 3: You know, because I've been because I've been in the

174
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,959
Speaker 3: industry since i was seventeen, I mean it doesn't. I

175
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 3: love soul food. I've been around the world, so I've

176
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 3: been able to eat different foods and try different things.

177
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 3: But when it comes to cooking, because I'm out so much,

178
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 3: when I get back home to Los Angeles, i want

179
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 3: my mother to make me some soul food. It's about water,

180
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 3: corn bread. I want to eat the greens, the way

181
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,439
Speaker 3: she make it, you know what I mean. I want

182
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,679
Speaker 3: to get some some ox tails and you know, all

183
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 3: of that good stuff, but on downright delicious. I take

184
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 3: some of these recipes that I use, and it's really

185
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 3: it's accent in the travel that I've been on my

186
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 3: entire career. So when I make my rearby oystered steak,

187
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 3: I mean I've gotten that in restaurants and pages.

188
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 2: What you said, rebbi Oster steak, Now, okay break it

189
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 2: down to us, because I definitely don't know, but it

190
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 2: sounds fantastic.

191
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 3: Really, you know, when you've had steak so many different ways,

192
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 3: it's just a what do you call a chef steakhouse

193
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 3: way of creating a different taste for your steak. So

194
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 3: the Rabbi steak is really, you know, the juice of

195
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 3: a juicy steak, and you're just adding some oyster, a

196
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 3: little sesame seed oil with some water and you're just

197
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 3: glazing it over your steak. I broil my steak, I

198
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 3: put me some rosemary on for some time, but throw

199
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 3: that girl up in there and the oyster gives it

200
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 3: that little glistening bubble with the glaze on top, and

201
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,199
Speaker 3: it's just delicious and however, you like your steak, and

202
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 3: it's just giving it a different flavor, like it came

203
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 3: out of Yoyo's Steakhouse.

204
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 1: Right, the Yoyo's flavor. And that's what we get. We

205
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:27,239
Speaker 1: get your uniqueness.

206
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 2: And I think because like I said, I've never had

207
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 2: that type of meal. Now I want that type of meal,

208
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 2: which means I want to watch your show and learn.

209
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 2: Now the big takeaway your show? Will you watch the show?

210
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 1: And because I watch what I do, and I go,

211
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: I can do that better. I can do that better.

212
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 2: The beauty of being in a position where you're actually

213
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 2: making people feel good, aren't you, Yoyo?

214
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 3: You know what the beauty of it is is? You know,

215
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 3: I love to say I'm not a chef. I just

216
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 3: love to cook, and that's pretty much my slogan because

217
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 3: I love to find new recipes and recreate. I started

218
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 3: cooking and really really cooking, during the pandemic. I've always cooked,

219
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 3: but during the pandemic I cooked a lot because everyone

220
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 3: was at home. I wasn't husband wrestling and running after

221
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 3: a show or a gig, so I got a chance

222
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 3: to really try some new recipes and it took me

223
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,439
Speaker 3: out of my depression. Going to the grocery market, to

224
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 3: different markets. You know, when you really start going into

225
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 3: these recipes and figuring out that you want to make

226
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 3: a dish from a different town or a different country,

227
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 3: you have to go to a different restaurant. This is

228
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 3: not you know, this is not a mom and pop store.

229
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 3: You have to go where you can find these ingredients.

230
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 3: And finding these different ingredients really just broaden my love

231
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 3: for cooking different dishes. So my mom now loves to

232
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 3: have me cook. She oh, come make that dish you make,

233
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 3: Come make that fish at Bay because, like you said,

234
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 3: she's so used to making Southern dishes. She want to

235
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 3: taste something different now. She she now she got to

236
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 3: the place where she when she make her tacos, she said,

237
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:07,559
Speaker 3: I want you to season my tacos tacos.

238
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 1: You know.

239
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 3: So it's just the basic stuff now, and really that's

240
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 3: what cooking is. I mean, how many ways can you

241
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 3: get fried? Chicken fried?

242
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,439
Speaker 2: You know? The beauty of this interview with you is that,

243
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 2: you know, because you mentioned COVID, and I remember doing

244
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 2: my time at COVID is when I started my gardening,

245
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,200
Speaker 2: you know, not my office. I got a plot of

246
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 2: land behind my office where I have my every spring.

247
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 2: I'm planning my cabbages, my collar greens, my tomatoes, my

248
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 2: my cucumbers. I do all the peppers, jalapeno, I do

249
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:44,559
Speaker 2: the bell peppers, I do the banana peppers.

250
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 1: I do all.

251
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 2: I do all, you know, all all versions from Roma

252
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 2: tomatoes to the steakhouse tomatoes. So it really helped me

253
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 2: calm me down. That's what the cod. It calmed me

254
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 2: down and gave me substance because I didn't know what

255
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 2: to do and now, and pointed.

256
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:02,679
Speaker 1: Me in the right direction.

257
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 2: And it made me a better person because I'm getting

258
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 2: food from my garden and I'm fresh.

259
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 1: Now.

260
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 2: I've watched some interviews on your other shows that you've done.

261
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 2: Mexican Food said that's your favorite style of cooking.

262
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:22,559
Speaker 1: Is that correct?

263
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 3: Well, you know what, if I had a choice, I

264
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 3: can eat tacos and burritos all day.

265
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 1: I don't come on, come on that.

266
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:34,079
Speaker 3: And I love I love a tomali, come on that.

337
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 3: me the proper way to place things. I always said

338
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 3: I wanted to take a knife cutting class, but of course,

339
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,719
Speaker 3: with anything you continuously do, you get better at it.

340
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:27,199
Speaker 3: I want to learn how to plate my dishes. You know,

341
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:29,359
Speaker 3: we have someone to plate my dishes for me. I

342
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 3: get home and my man, I'm trying to play this stuff.

343
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 3: He say, why just make my food.

344
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 1: Just make it. Don't try to do all of that.

345
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 3: To my plate. Just put my food on the plate.

346
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:40,479
Speaker 1: I'm hungry, you know.

347
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 2: You know, but people understand is that you know in

348
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:48,640
Speaker 2: that kitchen, you know that first meal is always a journey.

349
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 1: And then the second time you go that's how you

350
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 1: do it, huh.

351
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:55,640
Speaker 2: And that third and fourth thing you really every time

352
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 2: it gets better and becomes doing natural walking through that

353
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 2: step of you know, because people out there who may

354
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:04,680
Speaker 2: have never cooked before, and that's who watching your show,

355
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 2: they want to learn, and you make it look.

356
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 1: So easy, yo, yo, because it really is easy because

357
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 1: you love what you do.

358
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 2: But the process of that journey of doing it one

359
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 2: time and going through to each step.

360
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: Talk about it because it's a love that happens each time.

361
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely right, It's definitely a love. And I think

362
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 3: the trick is you have to get in the kitchen.

363
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 3: You have to build the confidence, build the confidence to say, hey,

364
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:32,919
Speaker 3: listen today I'm going to make breakfast. I mean, if

365
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,640
Speaker 3: it's just a breakfast dish and you might mess up,

366
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 3: you might put too much cheese and the cheese eggs

367
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 3: or you know you've chopped up, you know. But the

368
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:43,639
Speaker 3: more you do it, the more you get into it.

369
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,479
Speaker 3: If you've overseason your food, the love of cooking is

370
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 3: the overseason and of the food, then you know how

371
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 3: much you need. My process is I like to measure

372
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,359
Speaker 3: my food. I like to get it right all the time.

373
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:59,640
Speaker 3: You definitely use measuring cups. I definitely know what spices

374
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 3: I'm going to use, and then I try different things

375
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:06,920
Speaker 3: and if it doesn't work, I'll scratching. But the key

376
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 3: to cooking is you have to get in the kitchen.

377
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 2: It's beautiful now now people, everybody's listening and watching every

378
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 2: episode Downright Delicious with Yo Yo Thursdays every Thursday is

379
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 2: a new episode at eight pm Eastern Standard time, and

380
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 2: the beauty of watching the show because see, I had

381
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:28,879
Speaker 2: never seen a show that interview came up. I started

382
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:32,119
Speaker 2: going back, you know, on the YouTube because you know,

383
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 2: I want.

384
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:34,880
Speaker 1: To sit down here, because you know she's telling you true.

385
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 2: Because I on social media, you could after people be

386
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 2: criticized you or your apron that.

387
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 1: She don't get dirty. You know what I'm saying.

388
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:44,879
Speaker 2: You know, they may be hit you for all the

389
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 2: wrong reasons, but in the end, they like you.

390
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,439
Speaker 3: And you know, for Shina, everything you do is just

391
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:54,119
Speaker 3: about love. I think if you can get people to

392
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:57,159
Speaker 3: eat your food, if you can get people to be

393
00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 3: a part of whatever you're a part about, it really

394
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 3: starts with you. And more than I more than serving

395
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:06,400
Speaker 3: up a meal, what I'm really doing is serving up family.

396
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 3: I'm reminding us that I know we are busy. We

397
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 3: are all out here hustling.

398
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 1: Now.

399
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 3: We have women having more jobs than men nowadays. And uh,

400
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 3: and we're mothers, we're nurtures. I mean, you know, I can't.

401
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 3: I can't respect us more when when they know Mama's

402
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,640
Speaker 3: in the house and they can smell food cooking. I mean,

403
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:27,640
Speaker 3: you know, just that Yale you know upstairs that it's done,

404
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 3: you know, just bring something down here them, you know,

405
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 3: jogging down the stairs to come grab And it really

406
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 3: just reminds me and I'm so happy that God had

407
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 3: given me that pause in my life so that I

408
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 3: can be the mother that I always love to be

409
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 3: and not only just give things. You know, I was

410
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 3: in the industry where gift giving was just the norm.

411
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 3: Now I can give people a nice plate, I can

412
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 3: feed them, and then I can share this journey with

413
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 3: I've always loved to do that.

414
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 2: Inspire TV is giving you this option every Thursday night

416
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:05,479
Speaker 2: before we go, I want to just talk about because

417
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 2: you know, there's the cooking and there's the baking, and

418
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 2: there's a difference.

419
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 1: A lot of people don't understand.

420
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 2: That you kind of make a mistake a little bit

421
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 2: and when you when you cook it, you know, if

422
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,160
Speaker 2: you got the beans too salt, just keep adding water.

423
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 1: You vent to get that saut out of you know

424
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 1: what I'm saying that you keep adding water. You know, well,

425
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:25,879
Speaker 1: when you bacon though, were you bacon though? You better

426
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:26,920
Speaker 1: get it right.

427
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 2: You better get right baking bout of that bad book

428
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 2: Home Flat too much baked? So whoa so talk to's

429
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:35,920
Speaker 2: the difference between? Because I would tell people you can

430
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 2: kind of watch sports when you're cooking, but you better

431
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 2: not watch sports when you're bacon talk to us.

432
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 3: Let me tell you, Sean, I my family will never

433
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:48,199
Speaker 3: give me my grandmother's poundcake recipe. Okay, I mean I

434
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,880
Speaker 3: had to get it from somebody else. So really it's

435
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 3: just me.

436
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 2: You know.

437
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 3: Like you said, gardening for you really calms your energy

438
00:21:56,680 --> 00:22:01,159
Speaker 3: and gives you a place of comfort. Same thing with cooking.

439
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 3: So for me, like I said, I use measuring. I

440
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 3: measure everything out. I make sure I have it right.

441
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:10,199
Speaker 3: I do it right the first time and so and

442
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:13,200
Speaker 3: then from there it's only up. I just take my time.

443
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 3: It really is a place I can focus when I'm

444
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,680
Speaker 3: in the kitchen. So whether I'm baking, which I don't

445
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 3: bake a lot because of the things you said, I

446
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 3: don't really bake a lot. I'm really just a foodie.

447
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 3: I'm not really a sweet person. The only thing I

448
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 3: like to make is is pound cake and peach cobbler

449
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 3: and those two and wait, here's the key. I don't

450
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:40,880
Speaker 3: cook nothing. I can't cook. How about that away from

451
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 3: things that I can't cook.

452
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:45,639
Speaker 2: So if I am a blessed with opportunity to come

453
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 2: on the show, I'm gonna come on the show and

454
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:47,639
Speaker 2: do some baking.

455
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna use that's.

456
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 2: My skill set. I can I can bake. I can bake.

457
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:52,640
Speaker 2: I can bake.

458
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,400
Speaker 1: But the beauty of you, you know, stand your life.

459
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:57,600

599
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 3: really setting aside the stock, you know. And what I

600
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 3: did is after you, I didn't throw away my stock water,

601
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 3: you know. And that's really the secret. You can make

602
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 3: it the way you want. I mean, it's the sausages

603
00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:00,600

604
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 3: really it's the stock. It's the stock that creates that seafood,

605
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 3: you know, to make it quick and simple.

606
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:08,800
