    One of my most favorite memories is of my Mama (God Rest her Soul) and me when I was about 8 years old in Oklahoma City... we were dirt poor at the time... but for some odd reason we found our way at a dinner late one night... I was old enough to know that we didn't have the money to spend in this dinner, but went with the flow, following my mama.
    Sitting up at the counter, Mama order herself a cup of coffee and one piece of Ice Box Chocolate Pie... I thought I was in heaven.
    The gentleman asked if we wanted anything else, but knew we couldn't afford anything more, by the look on my Mama's face. She, the lady that she was, declined with grace.
    That night, was one of the best nights of my life, sharing one piece of heaven...
    A woman near by, overheard the conversation and paid for our pie and coffee... someone else whispered to the man behind the counter, to give us a hamburger and fries, or whatever we wanted... he paid for that. We never got to thank these very kind people disguised as angels...
    So that you so much for bringing back a beautiful memory... (now I'm crying)...

      Judi what a wonderful story and memory. I have been fortunate in my life to have never gone hungry and try to give back when I can. We have two ladies in our town that have been friends for over 50 years. They feed the homeless or just people down on their luck every Sunday out of a church kitchen. It breaks my heart to know that may be the only decent meal they have had for the week. There is definitely a place in heaven reserved for these two angels on earth. Whenever we have a little money to spare we either donate or buy groceries for their cause. They are the most precious! We always kid them about "we are riding their coattails to heaven".

    Tammy, I gotta say that cooking your pudding in the microwave is sheer genius. I'm 60 and have always used the cooktop to make pudding. Back in my day microwaves were thousands of dollars and the only people who could afford one were rich people. I wish I had had one. I will NEVER make another pudding on the cooktop as long as I live. By the way, I live right down the road from you in Jacksonville, FL. Howdy neighbor. You and your hubby have a very blessed and wonderful day. 🙏🙏🙏🕊️🕊️🕊️❤️❤️❤️🌈🌈🌈

      As a young child I didn’t want to eat meringue and I’m 99% sure it was because one of the adults in the family called it calf slobbers. One of my favorite memories about meringue is the summer I was 15 I fell in puppy love with my friend’s cousin. One day my mom made pizza and some pies, bf was at my house already but I was allowed to invite a couple more friends, so I invited my bf’s brother and my best friend. After we ate pizza and started eating dessert my bf’s brother said to my bf why are you eating those calf
      slobbers, you don’t eat them at home…I’m gonna tell momma. We all cracked up, but bf turned beet red…. My daughter in law doesn’t like meringue either, so I always buy whipping cream for her, just sliding meringue off a slice of pie is no big deal.

    You are a beautiful person. A wonderful cook. Like Chris I like my peppers and onion in my hamburger. I also put onion in my potatoes when I fry them this way.I don’t mind if they are soft or crunchy. Unfortunately I love potatoes any way they are cooked . Your pie looks so good. I got my daughter watching you as she loves cookin. Only when she’s watching you for a receipe does she want complete silence. We have been in Arizona about. 3 years. Out here no one cooks like we do. We’re from South Carolina and lots of your cooking is how I cooked. So glad to have found you and Chris.

    Hi Tammy! We had hamburger steaks for supper tonight, too! Served 'em up with onion gravy & mashed potatoes. Anything with sugar & chocolate is automatically going to get a 5-star rating with my crew. We all have enjoyed the chocolate pie recipe. My crew always hollers for more chocolate in the pie so I had to chuckle at your heaping tablespoons. I found, by accident (picked up the wrong container & opened it before noticing my mistake ! ) that using a combination of the regular Hershey's cocoa and Hershey's dark cocoa (has a red "ribbon" across the front of the container) gives a depth of chocolate flavor all my crew really enjoy. The ratio that works for us is a 3 to 1 of the regular cocoa to the dark cocoa. The addition of the relatively small amount of the dark cocoa really makes a difference in the flavor if you have a chance to try it sometime! Thanks for another video, y'all!! 😊

I have been curious about the evaporated milk option because I can't drive. I always keep it on hand just in case for making bread and I am excited to see that I can use it if I am low on milk.

    I never liked chocolate pie growing up, but we had it all the time because it was my mom's favorite she'd be 94 if she were alive today. My grandmother, who we visited once a month when i was a kid, I'm 65 now because grsndma lived 3 hours away, always had 2 or 3 pies on the counter. Grandma made chicken and dumplings or fried potatoes and porkchops. Don't know how my poor grandma did it she had RA so bad and so crippled up, but bless her heart. She was the best cook until she passed away.

The hamburger steaks look delish. The pie incredible! Gonna try again tomorrow. The last one was a disaster! I used A corning ware pie plate & I think that could have been the problem? Don't know?

      @helencato9234 3 года назад

      It's funny. As I watch your videos, I find that we make a lot of the same dishes, but we do them a little differently. For example, my traditional chocolate pie uses flour instead of cornstarch, and of course, I learned to cook it on the stove top. I may have to try the microwave though. Also, My pie has three egg yolks instead of two, and my liquid is one 12 oz can of evaporated milk, and one can of water, which is the equivalent of three cups of milk.
      Also, when I was growing up, and when I was raising my two kids, there would be weeknights when we would have hamburger steak, fried potatoes, and usually corn or green beans. Sometimes with our hamburger steak, instead of fried potatoes, we would have macaroni and cheese out of the Kraft box! 😁 Plus, we also don't put onions in our fried potatoes, never did, and my mom never did either. Our hamburger steak is just fried with salt and pepper. No onions, no bell peppers, just plain beef! I always have mine with ketchup on top, but sometimes we put steak sauce on them, but that's mostly my husband and kids, I rarely put steak sauce on mine, it's almost always ketchup. Also, when I was growing up, Saturday nights were hamburger night. Hamburgers / cheeseburgers with french fries and/or deep fried mushrooms. My mom would open a can of mushroom pieces, drain it, dump it in some batter she'd made, and drop by spoonfuls in the hot oil. Good stuff! Those were the days! We would watch The Muppets and enjoy our burgers, fries, and mushrooms!

    My SIL once made fresh grated“hash browns” with a glut of oil and refused to turn the heat up. The potatoes simmered in oil and turned translucent. No browning at all. They were awful, but they worked well as a laxative. I don’t know why she wouldn’t turn the heat up and brown them. Some people have weird ways of making potatoes.
    I love to par cook the potatoes in seasoned boiling water (I use Better Than Bouillon chicken or beef stock paste). Sometimes I roast them at 450F in a preheated cast iron skillet with a little lard, beef tallow, or bacon fat.
    There was a lady at my parents church that made the best chocolate meringue pies. It’s been over 40 years, and my family still uses her recipe.
    Does Chris like forgotten cookies made from whipped egg whites, sugar, pecans, and chocolate chips? I love them. Brown sugar makes them really good.

It's berry time! We left for 2 weeks vacation and our power went down on the freezers. It's a BIG MESS. But we have it 75% cleaned up. I wonder how many couples spend so much time in the kitchen together? We sure do. Just about every meal since the 'stay at home' we are always watching over the stove together.

    Mama Tammy I have told everybody about microwave pudding. I don't by putting anymore I just make it that's how easy it is. And I make the sugar-free to my husband is diabetic. Plus he's been through a lot of radiation treatments and it scarred his throat and he has a hard time swallowing without getting choked so he ate a lot of pudding and jello he is a lot better now. Praise God everyday his last CT scan was clean❤❤🙏

    Speaking of using the microwave, you've never had such good scrambled eggs as when you put them in a glass measuring cup (no milk) cook 2 minutes, stir then another 2-3 minutes. They are fluffy like in a restaurant. I'm going to try the chocolate pie in the microwave. I'm all about shortcuts!

    Make a semi strong solution of water and chili powder in a spray bottle. Then spray any veggies that you want to protect against any pests like rabbit or squirrel biters/chewers daily. It can be washed off when cleaning before you use and or eating.

    My mother always made a chocolate pie for my dad at Thanksgiving and Christmas. I dont ever recall that she made meringue for it although she did make excellent meringue for other pies.
    My mother was not from the south, and seemed really resistant to trying southern recipes.
    My dad wax born and raised in Alabama, so when I finally started cooking he enjoyed it. He would stay with me sometime when he was traveling for his job, and would really annoy my mom when he would tell her what I had cooked for him and suggest she try making whatever it was. She wouldn't, but when I visited I spent all my time cooking and washing dishes because she wouldn't cook at all.

I love the way you make it in the microwave. I was making a banana pudding on the stove top and got so tired of stirring it I put it in the microwave, and it came out perfect. I made your lemon icebox pie Friday, and it is so good. I love vanilla wafer crusts. I enjoy you so much. You remind me so much of the way my mother cooked. Love yall

    I make all of my custard pies in the microwave. As for meringue, although my mother had all the newest gadgets, I learned to make meringue using a dinner fork. I am in my late 70s, so the cake recipes that I learned to make called for beating by hand 150 strokes and 200 strokes. I am trying to teach my granddaughters that you don't have to have gadgets to cook. It just makes it easier. Happy New Year.

    Hi Tammy,
    I love your cooking it gives me a taste of old fashioned American cooking , I didn’t grow up in the USA so when I cook things like what you and other cooks that make things the old fashioned way it’s like traveling thru “history”. Chris is right about the measurements in “spoons” in Europe we use mostly grams or if we used spoons it would be a real soup or tea spoon which it was not always accurate because everyone had their own idea of a heaping spoon … lol !
    A tip for the merengue if u place the bowl and beaters in the freezer to get really cold it will help the whites get volume
    And air that they don’t get runny. Your dinner looks delicious. Bon apetit !! Enjoy !
