My grandfather, Prince Washington, grandmother, Rebecca Washington, mother Laura Washington Ashe lived here. Laura is my cousin. We came here as children and stayed most summers. The family home burned down and I built a new home in 2020. I feel so fortunate to have my family history resonating throughout Sandy Island. Thank you for sharing this video. Dr.Frances Ashe-Goins
This beautiful woman has a beautiful soul. And the patience of a saint. This very inquisitive man with his PHD is an example of why Grandma would shoo us out the kitchen until we got a certain age. ❤😂❤ thank you for your patience my lady! I love your grandma’s kitchen. 🥰
"Let it, cook" i felt that. We're really not that far that far removed from all this history. My ancestors and my mom used to say "A watchpot never boils" I personally love our history. 🤎
She said she’s frying the eggs in the bacon grease, now if that ain’t good southern cooking, I don’t know what is. 😂😂 And then she said said get outta self and it’s then that you can see the blessings of the Lord!!! Love it!!!❤❤
I was 8 yrs on My first time visiting my Grand mommie in Bennettsville SC...from NY.. First, the garden staples: corn, potatoes, etc.. But it was the fried okra, fried green tomatoes and squash ,homemade rolls that was good for the soul. I was taught how to make homemade applesauce, and even bread pudding w/ raisins! I learned early how to build meals. Thanks for sharing.
My dad recently passed away, and he was from Charleston. One thing I remember about him was that he ate rice with everything. We never had a meal without rice. Until this day my children and grandchildren love rice.
Growing up in Florida in my mothers house there was never a meal cooked without rice. I thought it was the most ridiculous thing I’d ever seen. Even if we had potatoes or macaroni, she’d still cook rice. Btw, she was born and lived entire life in Florida, but rice was a daily staple.
My mom was born in Mullins South Carolina, and at 18 married my dad then went into the military World. Although she passed in 2003, I vividly remember eating breakfast rice, and the bread pudding. In Germany she worked at the mess hall, and invited almost all the young soldiers to our house for Thanks Giving. They were so happy to get some real southern food. I do believe my mom was STRAIGHT Gulla Geechee. I knew and heard about Geechee, but as an adult, I just learned about the Gulla Geechee.
My paternal ancestors came from South Carolina. There first documented presence there was the first cencus after the Civil War, in 1870. My great grandfather was a fisherman using an old techingue called "sanding" (wading or swimming out into the water and throwing a net. They migrated to Georgia in the late1880s. My grandmother, who was born in Georgia, often made bread pudding and red rice. I wasn't too keen on the bread pudding, but the red rice?!!! Oh my. I wish she had made a pot of that rice for this demonstration. Not many people here in the northeast where I was born and live know about red rice. I visited the islands around Beaufort, SC years ago. The African American history is rich in those parts. I hope to be able to visit other areas of the Sea Islands one day. Thank you for this presentation.
Generations of my ancestors, including my great - great grandfather; great - great grandmother; & both great grandparents lived on the barrier islands off the eastern coast of USA. 😔 💔 🙏 ♥
My mother, who was a born New Yorker made Red Rice, and we still make Red Rice today, as we were taught. Her father came from this area, and her mother (from Virginia) taught her to cook - she was a phenomenal cook! Like you, I wasn't keen on the Bread Pudding or Rice Pudding 😀
My maternal ancestors are from Valdosta Ga, Savannah GA. Paternal Ancestors are from Rockford,and Sylvania Ga Bread Pudding was a stable both sides of my family made each with their own twist. I still make Mulatto Rice( Red Rice shrimp. I make Red Rice with sausage for those with Shellfish allergies. Recipes have been in my family since 1700's.
Us South Louisianans must be Geechee too, because we have to have rice with everything too. The cooking is very similar too. Im do that vacation soon. Always wanted to.❤
This Gullah geechee woman is one of our special Big Mama. she going to make sure all the children eat. We love you big mama out here in the RUclips world much love and respect and prosperity to business 👏 back to the study
Most kitchens were not attached to houses in the previous centuries. Even Mount Vernon was designed that way and it was because of the fear of fire caused by the stoves.
This was, and is, such a beautiful way of life!...It's simple. Nothing overly complicated about it. I would assume the community is still in tact, and the people are a lot friendlier. Today, in most communities in urban and suburban areas, everyone gets lost in the shuffle. Neighbors don't even say "hello". It's very sad. I appreciated watching this, and hearing of the rich history and culture. Ms. Laura seems like a very sweet lady. Thank you!
"What size pan is that?" If I was a young one back in my Grandma Mary's kitchen, that's the little big pan. Though it could be a big middle pan. I don't know Miss Laura's Grandma Mary's kitchen so I have no business speaking for Miss Laura, but Miss Laura's quiet words remind me of my own Grandma Mary 😊 Bless and thank you, Miss Laura 🖤💛❤️🇦🇺
I'M WATCHING THIS ONCE AGAIN IT IS GIVING ME THE BEST MEMORIES OF MY CHILDHOOD THE PUNCH I NEVER KNEW HOW TO MAKE BUT IT WAS SO GOOD!!! AND THOSE TEA CAKES MY GRANNY MADE FOR THOSE TRIP'S BACK TO FLA TO SEE HER BROTHER'S AND SISTER'S SHE SAID SHE WAS PICKING APPLES AND CAME TO ROCHESTER N.Y AND LIKED IT AND STAYED I'M GLAD SHE DID I WISH WE COULD GO BACK IN TIME I WOULD GO BACK TO BEING 5YRS OLD WITH MY GRANNY THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!!
i remember the punch bowl with the hanging cups in the middle of the table sitting top of a lace thingy and u couldnt touch it and if the pastor and or church folk was coming over u had to sit and wait and with manners she took me alllll the way back
Yes, yes, my grandmother bawn in Arkansas by way of Mississippi and VA and TN ancestrally....she made ye same and would often change up her fruit - sometimes raisins, sometime apples or both, sometimes peaches even pineapple. It is our culture to use what you have, magical almost what we can create from 'not enough' etc. We are a resilient people.
I'm really enjoying this movie, it reminds me of my Grandma and Auntie, they loved to cook. And this is lady is a trooper, she haven't sit down not for a minute, that's a love for what she is doing. That food looks so good,now she is a real Cook, I would like to visit Gullah and have a meal with the lady that is cooking now, God Bless you 🙏🙏 and keep up the good work 🙏 👍
I love those vintage Pyrex bowls. That's a nice pattern. I love raisins also, so I will be trying this. Then I'll start my diet, once it's gone LOL. Thank you for sharing this lovely lady with us.
Why did he act like he came from Planet Acadamia the whole time?! Lawd u know dang good n well she was annoyed when he asked 3 times how long the rice was gona take… she done told u 20mins😂😂😂
I am also a descendent of Gullah Geechee people. I absolutely plan to visit your cottage when this whole Covid has slowed down permanently. I remember as a teenager hearing stories of the Gullah Geechee culture from my grandmother.
Im an old white girl from Virginia and I have the same exact curtains that are in this beautiful kitchen. I love to visit some time cause I love the old fashioned simp!e life and its just the way I live too. Simple food and simple living. God Bless everyone.💕🙏😊
Oooooo my GOODNESS dis brought back so many fond memories. I'm from the South Carolina Gullah County. My sweet Granny would make it dis way & make bread pudding with Figs from her fig tree.& dat punch" We made it with RUM 😎 & I still have a LOVE affair with RICE. I'm Gullah Geechie Proud Baby.
My mother's family are from Sumter SC who were brought there from Barbados. My Mother migrated to NC, however, I still eat and cook these Meals Today. She also, made our clothes and taught us how to sew.
I am from Barbados and I know that people from Barbados were the first to settle in SC. There was no more land available here for the plantation owners to give their sons. So a plantation owner here wrote to King James of England asking he could claim some of the land, it was swampy. First group was about 2 owners their wives, other family and slaves, some of whom died but others came. Willie Lynch actually came from Barbados.
My grandmother and my great aunt are from south Carolina, james island in Charleston. We had rice every day. Uncle Ben's rice and shrimp, salmon. Rice fried with eggs or grits. MMMMM . Sometimes with sugar toast.❤
This is the kind wisdom and conversations I had with my mother and father’s family and all older people who had a hand in raising us. More of this kind of interaction with older people would change our young people for the better! I love this!
I love her sweet personality..she reminds me of my grandmother and my aunt cooking in the stone stove outside of the main house in the back woods high up the mountain in the Dominican Republic..everything looks 😋 😋 😋
Wow, what a pleasure to watch. Bread and butter pudding is popular in the UK. My mother, who came to the UK from Nigeria, used to make it when I was a child. She learned how once in the UK. She used to add a llittle brandy. Such a comfort food....yum😊
I agree 100% we do need more of her videos. That's if she is up to making more. I would love to have any videos she might care to make. She brings back alot of memories for me. She reminds me of my Aunt Sally who I loved and adored. She has gone home to be with Jesus. May she rest in perfect peace.
She’s so precious & Wise. I would love it if she made videos of her cooking authentic dishes. I would subscribe and pay yearly. She has a calm, loving presence. I’d love to visit her & stay overnight. Being able to watch her prepare meals would be a phenomenal blessing.
I am so happy to have come across this video! Thank you for sharing! I’m thinking of my father and his family on their land in the valley of West Virginia. Much love to Ms. Laura!!!❤️🙏🏿❤️cleveland7-14-23 A beautiful history lesson that I’m happy to learn about!!! Peace blessings Ms.Laura❤️😊
Oh my Lord , I truly enjoyed watching this, and the history and culture this lady talked about. However, that professor was a bit much. Ms. Harriet endured about 82 questions (2 per minute) from him. By the 22nd question, I would have put him out my kitchen. Gonna try that bread pudding recipe. I would like to tour this island one day on a road trip on the way to Myrtle Beach. God bless this sweet lady.
I wonder if more consideration for communicative norms( relative to Mrs. Laura's age and generation) should have been considered. Perhaps if the professor had tailored his communication style to Mrs. Laura's energy and temperament, he might have made things easier for the both of them, while obtaining the information he needed. Time was likely a factor here, also, space. I would liked to have seen Mrs. Laura with her cleaning materials, including extra cooking utensils and paper towels easily accessible to her. Thank you, professor for bringing this piece of history to life.
She wanted you OUT the kitchen🤣🤣. You act like you really don’t know what’s going on in that kitchen but no matter how far removed you might actually be, you know momma wanted to do her dishes before you rushed her to that next dish🤣. I was yelling through the tv! Thanks for the history and cooking lesson. I’d love to visit her cottage when I venture down south.
I appreciate you sharing your beautiful soul Ms Herriott😇♥️🥰GOD brings us all together and you are definitely a Beautiful example of his pure love! Thank you very much for the Dr for his valuable years of education and research to share & teach! I really enjoyed this video😊
I just needed him to shut up for longer than just 10 second intervals while this pleasant lady worked her magic in the kitchen. Like GAHDAMN!!!! Hush!!!!
I'm 57 and was raised in Wisconsin, but! of course like a lot of us! our families migrated accross the united states. Watching this it shows me just how connected that we are. My mama wound cook EVERYTHING! that she cooked. Except! for the punch! We would always drive her crazy! So their was no way she would have made us some punch unless! it was sugar less, in which case, a cold! glass of sugar free WATER! was always our other option! lol! And we were very! healthy! So said the doctors.
I desire to visit and have sweet lady cook everything on this menu. I have to get to Sandy Island and discover my roots. She is encouraging me to make my way south within a year. God I pray this is alignment with your will and my desire. ❤️
Love this lady and her cooking expertise!! I will be trying her breakfast rice dish. She makes bread pudding like I do ... eyeballing the ingredients. I would love to know more about the culture.
How does this not have millions of likes? Every second of this was completely delightful, and I never wanted it to end. When I was little my great grandmother lived with us, and I remember all of these recipes. I even have her Fostoria glass punch set and dinnerware. My great grandmother was from Arkansas, but I'm sure that she had contact with other people of the American south who shared their traditions with her. (She had a lot of Appalachian traditions, too.)
Thank you to whoever it was for posting this wonderful You Tube video of Gullah culture and food. Reminded me so much of Grandmother who was part black and part Indian and part Cajun. Grandmother was a cook for rich white folks on St. Charles Avenue and could cook anything and everything Cajun. There was always a pot of Gumbo z'herbs on the stove and occasionally it had some creature from the backyard garden and menagerie - pigeon, duck, chicken. Whoa: Did she stir in a stick of butter in that cabbage? Terrific! Julia Child always said you could never use enough butter.
I love your comment and agree One thing though, I'm watching this July 2023. Hoping people realize now how much of a lie it was forcing people to wear those masks. Peace and Love.
It is too bad that these folks and their land are not protected . Developers have the advantage and these People get zoned out of existence.Only a handful😅 left to be used as tourist attractions. Thank God for granting a New Heaven and New Earth 🌎 for the future, people will finally get a chance to live and live without encroachment.❤
Oh the memory she brings back. My Mom made Rice 🍚 and Bread 🍞 pudding. I personally never like rice pudding. Now watching her I will make this for my Son who I am sure will love it.
Geechee History is Amazing, People Please do your own research!! Shout to Grandma Bread Pudding and all the delicious foods of Gullah Geechee Ancestors!!!!
Yummy for my tummy! Be happy with what you have and grateful and thankful for all South Carolina has to offer! Be appreciative of what GOD has given you! Each day above ground is goid day,AMEN! 🙂🙏💪😭!
She is a COOK! I bet that house smells like heaven, and I'm very impressed she did all of that on an electric stove without burning anything, although I'm suprised I didn’t see any cast iron. She probably only used the new stuff for the camera. The metal utensils in the non-stick were triggering though. Get it, Motha!
I luv this...my mother and grandma is Geechee from charston S.C and breakfast rice wasmy grandma's favorite..I never liked it as a kid but I make it for my family for sunday breakfast if I have leftover rice and don't feel like making grits..I just made plain cabbage the other day with bake chicken was so good.I'm making red rice right now for a family party tomorrow while Im watching this video😍
I would love to see her season her broth for collard greens. Kitchens in the back of the house was done to prevent fires in the main house. If you tour Charleston historic district you can see some kitchens in the back of the homes. (Courtesy of CBS TV 39:54 Sunday Morning Show)
This was wonderful! ❤❤❤ Thank you Miss Laura for allowing us into your kitchen and sharing your love of cooking with me. I really enjoyed watching this beautiful meal come together with so much love. That breakfast rice looks amazing! I wanted a bowl of everything! Yummiest!
I have thoroughly enjoy watching this. Our family have Gullah roots too. The video was well excuted and learned a new way of cooking rice and sausage with eggs. Loved the host and your guest on the show. She was adorable. I learned so much. Thank you. I would love to see more. 🥰
My grandfather, Prince Washington, grandmother, Rebecca Washington, mother Laura Washington Ashe lived here. Laura is my cousin. We came here as children and stayed most summers.

😂😂😂
She has a great sense of humor . Love the fact that she still have most of the kitchen wear that belongs to her grandmother.
When she rinsed that spoon off before she stirred that punch up it shot me back to my grandmother's kitchen.
His insulin skyrocketed with that punch lol
She's so darling
Lol fo real😂
😂
"Let it, cook" i felt that. We're really not that far that far removed from all this history. My ancestors and my mom used to say "A watchpot never boils" I personally love our history. 🤎
She said she’s frying the eggs in the bacon grease, now if that ain’t good southern cooking, I don’t know what is. 😂😂
And then she said said get outta self and it’s then that you can see the blessings of the Lord!!! Love it!!!❤❤
I will remember that saying it is so beautiful and loving. It truly lifts my spirit. I am so happy I found this video,it made my day.
I was 8 yrs on My first time visiting my Grand mommie in Bennettsville SC...from NY..
First, the garden staples: corn, potatoes, etc..
But it was the fried okra, fried green tomatoes and squash ,homemade rolls that was good for the soul.
I was taught how to make homemade applesauce, and even bread pudding w/ raisins!
I learned early how to build meals.
Thanks for sharing.
Oh yes, the fried okra brings me back every single time!

Just like my mom..dats how she taught me😁
Yes, great cooks don’t measure unless there baking and if you’re a really great cook, you use your senses.

Eat em wit everything
Yep. My aunt Sweetie was Geechee. She visited us for a few weeks, and there was rice at every meal 😂
It’s the RICE. I’m GG and I get withdrawals from not having rice.
Us South Louisianans must be Geechee too, because we have to have rice with everything too. The cooking is very similar too. Im do that vacation soon. Always wanted to.❤
Amen! Rice is a daily staple with us!

Most kitchens were not attached to houses in the previous centuries. Even Mount Vernon was designed that way and it was because of the fear of fire caused by the stoves.
My grandmother used a wood burning stove. Bread pudding & corn pudding were my favorites 😊❤
No body ever knows what corn pudding is when I mention it
Gosh so gentle and loving. Whats so wonderful she was patient with the interviewer . ❤

Thank you for sharing, I love learning new things about our history. Never thought in nj schools when I was going.👍👍👍
My father’s family is from Sandy Island and Pawleys Island.
Oh my Lord , I truly enjoyed watching this, and the history and culture this lady talked about. However, that professor was a bit much. Ms. Harriet endured about 82 questions (2 per minute) from him. By the 22nd question, I would have put him out my kitchen. Gonna try that bread pudding recipe. I would like to tour this island one day on a road trip on the way to Myrtle Beach. God bless this sweet lady.
I wonder if more consideration for communicative norms( relative to Mrs. Laura's age and generation) should have been considered. Perhaps if the professor had tailored his communication style to Mrs. Laura's energy and temperament, he might have made things easier for the both of them, while obtaining the information he needed. Time was likely a factor here, also, space. I would liked to have seen Mrs. Laura with her cleaning materials, including extra cooking utensils and paper towels easily accessible to her. Thank you, professor for bringing this piece of history to life.
I loved this, thank you.
I love her cooking techniques!!! Regulate heat??!!! She feels it without all the rules!!
She wanted you OUT the kitchen🤣🤣. You act like you really don’t know what’s going on in that kitchen but no matter how far removed you might actually be, you know momma wanted to do her dishes before you rushed her to that next dish🤣. I was yelling through the tv! Thanks for the history and cooking lesson. I’d love to visit her cottage when I venture down south.
@LaRica Grant, Exactly, lol. We clean up as we go!
haahhaahaaaa!!!!! That's FACTS! 😂💖
Right lol!!! Bruh acts like he didn’t grow up around any Black folk whatsoever lol.
lol
Okayyyy!!!! Clean as ya go ‼️‼️🤣🤣🥰
Loved this and i dont even like rice like that. Her spirit is everything.
I appreciate you sharing your beautiful soul Ms Herriott😇♥️🥰GOD brings us all together and you are definitely a Beautiful example of his pure love! Thank you very much for the Dr for his valuable years of education and research to share & teach! I really enjoyed this video😊
I just needed him to shut up for longer than just 10 second intervals while this pleasant lady worked her magic in the kitchen. Like GAHDAMN!!!! Hush!!!!
YES!!!!💯
It was so frustrating!!! Uuuuuugh!
Agree, working my nerves
I'm 57 and was raised in Wisconsin, but! of course like a lot of us! our families migrated accross the united states. Watching this it shows me just how connected that we are. My mama wound cook EVERYTHING! that she cooked. Except! for the punch! We would always drive her crazy! So their was no way she would have made us some punch unless! it was sugar less, in which case, a cold! glass of sugar free WATER! was always our other option! lol! And we were very! healthy! So said the doctors.
I desire to visit and have sweet lady cook everything on this menu. I have to get to Sandy Island and discover my roots. She is encouraging me to make my way south within a year. God I pray this is alignment with your will and my desire. ❤️
Love this lady and her cooking expertise!! I will be trying her breakfast rice dish. She makes bread pudding like I do ... eyeballing the ingredients. I would love to know more about the culture.
How does this not have millions of likes? Every second of this was completely delightful, and I never wanted it to end. When I was little my great grandmother lived with us, and I remember all of these recipes. I even have her Fostoria glass punch set and dinnerware. My great grandmother was from Arkansas, but I'm sure that she had contact with other people of the American south who shared their traditions with her. (She had a lot of Appalachian traditions, too.)
Although it's delicious. It's not healthy so maybe that's why it's not getting likes and views. People are focus on eating healthy these days.
She is so humble,food looks good too.
Thank you to whoever it was for posting this wonderful You Tube video of Gullah culture and food. Reminded me so much of Grandmother who was part black and part Indian and part Cajun. Grandmother was a cook for rich white folks on St. Charles Avenue and could cook anything and everything Cajun. There was always a pot of Gumbo z'herbs on the stove and occasionally it had some creature from the backyard garden and menagerie - pigeon, duck, chicken. Whoa: Did she stir in a stick of butter in that cabbage? Terrific! Julia Child always said you could never use enough butter.
Awesome! I loved the host; she was outstanding! Thank you to the professor for his dedication to such a rich culture!
I love your comment and agree
One thing though, I'm watching this July 2023. Hoping people realize now how much of a lie it was forcing people to wear those masks.
Peace and Love.
It’s not a lie in most European, Asian, and Oceania countries where the prevalence of Covid was lower…
It is too bad that these folks and their land are not protected . Developers have the advantage and these People get zoned out of existence.Only a handful😅 left to be used as tourist attractions. Thank God for granting a New Heaven and New Earth 🌎 for the future, people will finally get a chance to live and live without encroachment.❤
Very nicely done, a pleasure to watch!
Oh the memory she brings back.
My Mom made Rice 🍚 and Bread 🍞 pudding.
I personally never like rice pudding.
Now watching her I will make this for my Son who I am sure will love it.
Geechee History is Amazing, People Please do your own research!! Shout to Grandma Bread Pudding and all the delicious foods of Gullah Geechee Ancestors!!!!
Thank you for this video !!! Much love and many blessings. 🧡🙏
Yes, this was a blessing to watch. Thank You 🙏🏾
My mom always made the best bread pudding ❤
Yummy for my tummy!
Be happy with what you have and grateful and thankful for all South Carolina has to offer!
Be appreciative of what GOD has given you!
Each day above ground is goid day,AMEN!
🙂🙏💪😭!
She is a COOK! I bet that house smells like heaven, and I'm very impressed she did all of that on an electric stove without burning anything, although I'm suprised I didn’t see any cast iron. She probably only used the new stuff for the camera. The metal utensils in the non-stick were triggering though. Get it, Motha!
I luv this...my mother and grandma is Geechee from charston S.C and breakfast rice wasmy grandma's favorite..I never liked it as a kid but I make it for my family for sunday breakfast if I have leftover rice and don't feel like making grits..I just made plain cabbage the other day with bake chicken was so good.I'm making red rice right now for a family party tomorrow while Im watching this video😍
Loved it. Simple but delicious food. Layers of flavor without being overly seasoned. Thank you.
We still have homes in African Villages that have the kitchen outside (a separate building or attachment).
I would love to see her season her broth for collard greens. Kitchens in the back of the house was done to prevent fires in the main house. If you tour Charleston historic district you can see some kitchens in the back of the homes. (Courtesy of CBS TV 39:54 Sunday Morning Show)
This was wonderful! ❤❤❤ Thank you Miss Laura for allowing us into your kitchen and sharing your love of cooking with me. I really enjoyed watching this beautiful meal come together with so much love. That breakfast rice looks amazing! I wanted a bowl of everything! Yummiest!
Adding fruit peels to the bread pudding, that go into fruit cakes is a delicious addition too. Plus pour a little rum on the hot, baked pudding
Bread Pudding, my favorite dessert. I was focused, on the oven door, the entire time. 😛 😋
I have thoroughly enjoy watching this. Our family have Gullah roots too. The video was well excuted and learned a new way of cooking rice and sausage with eggs. Loved the host and your guest on the show. She was adorable. I learned so much. Thank you. I would love to see more. 🥰
I love that she loves her life...Priceless
She most definitely made that with love
