My name is Paula Eakins
00:00:48.50\00:00:49.87
and this is my

00:00:49.90\00:00:52.37
Thank you very much
honey welcome to our show.
00:00:52.66\00:00:55.02
Welcome to our show,
00:00:55.05\00:00:56.42
I'm so excited
about this program.
00:00:56.45\00:00:58.58
This program.
Because this is entitled
00:00:58.61\00:01:00.36
dinner for two. So, all cooking.
00:01:00.85\00:01:02.97
All cooking, the
entire program is all cooking
00:01:03.49\00:01:06.01
and there is a couple
of special things as well.
00:01:06.04\00:01:08.59
Special things,
what special things.
00:01:08.62\00:01:10.24
We'll tell you later. Okay.
00:01:10.27\00:01:11.84
Dinner for two
does not necessary mean
00:01:12.82\00:01:14.65
that it has to. I'll tell
you what one of the things
00:01:14.68\00:01:16.86
I like about, when I
talk about dinner for two
00:01:16.89\00:01:18.95
is that there are
times when people just do
00:01:18.98\00:01:21.59
special things for
you, umm! umm! and you are
00:01:21.62\00:01:23.66
so excited about
it and you wanna try
00:01:23.69\00:01:26.55
to find a way to
give something back. Okay.
00:01:26.58\00:01:28.95
Alright, for me it's
always easier to do some
00:01:28.98\00:01:32.05
cooking because
that's my favorite subject,
00:01:32.08\00:01:34.22
outside of God and
then Curtis, my children,
00:01:34.25\00:01:37.74
then it's cooking.
Okay. Oh, so, I'm right
00:01:38.09\00:01:40.07
behind God, right
behind God, that's about
00:01:40.10\00:01:41.49
as high as I can
get. A lot of times,
00:01:41.52\00:01:43.52
when there are parties
or, yes, or you trying to
00:01:43.55\00:01:45.51
give someone a
party, a birthday party,
00:01:45.54\00:01:47.16
you want to do some
special for someone this is
00:01:47.63\00:01:49.57
an ideal time, to
actually make something up
00:01:49.60\00:01:52.13
and take it and share
it. You know that's the way.
00:01:52.16\00:01:54.80
Okay, so this is more of a,
00:01:54.83\00:01:56.20
this could be a ministry then.
00:01:56.23\00:01:57.60
This could be a
ministry all by itself.
00:01:57.63\00:01:59.29
Okay, food can be a ministry.
00:01:59.32\00:02:00.69
Yeah, dinner for two.
00:02:00.72\00:02:02.09
There is no relation
in loaf of bread that most
00:02:02.12\00:02:03.49
people think.
Absolutely, absolutely. Or food.
00:02:03.52\00:02:04.89
Yes. Okay. Our
first recipe. Alright.
00:02:04.92\00:02:07.23
Is actually going to
be a Citrus Pecan Salad.
00:02:07.26\00:02:12.00
Umm! That's sounds interesting.
00:02:12.03\00:02:13.40
Let's look at the recipe. Okay.
00:02:13.43\00:02:14.80
It calls for:
00:02:15.92\00:02:18.69
Okay, soy bacon
bits. Now, of course,
00:02:33.50\00:02:36.95
soy bacon bits, I
have to assume that maybe
00:02:36.98\00:02:39.01
people watching
this for the first time.
00:02:39.04\00:02:40.41
So, soy bacon bits
as apposed to the other
00:02:40.44\00:02:44.05
regular soy or what.
Okay, what we do now,
00:02:44.08\00:02:46.87
we are not going to
use the regular bacon bits.
00:02:46.90\00:02:48.98
Right. Because you
know we are totally
00:02:49.01\00:02:50.54
not doing pork at
all while on 3ABN or
00:02:50.57\00:02:53.18
anywhere else for
that matter, that's right,
00:02:53.21\00:02:54.58
this is plant based
soy. But believe or not,
00:02:54.61\00:02:56.73
soy bacon bits are
actually in the regular
00:02:57.04\00:03:00.25
supper market.
And we've been seeing
00:03:00.28\00:03:02.66
it over the
last several programs
00:03:02.69\00:03:04.94
that all these things
had now had moved into
00:03:04.97\00:03:07.20
mainstream grocery
stores. Yup, look at them.
00:03:07.23\00:03:09.84
Yes. So they are
yes soy, umm! umm!
00:03:09.87\00:03:11.24
Look just like
regular bacon and I like them
00:03:11.27\00:03:13.63
because they has that
hickory kind of a flavor,
00:03:13.66\00:03:16.13
it's got that
crispiness. Yes, okay.
00:03:16.50\00:03:18.14
Just like regular bacon does,
00:03:18.17\00:03:20.01
but it is not bacon, it's soy.
00:03:20.04\00:03:22.12
Right, it has that
flavor there and is ready to go.
00:03:22.15\00:03:23.62
That's right,
that's right. Okay, good.
00:03:23.65\00:03:25.02
Okay and then of
course the spring salad.
00:03:25.05\00:03:26.71
I like this because it's
got all the different color
00:03:27.05\00:03:28.94
leaves in it, umm!
umm! okay, it's got.
00:03:28.97\00:03:30.34
They're really;
the curly leaves,
00:03:30.72\00:03:32.55
the red curly
leaves, it has the different
00:03:32.60\00:03:36.25
combinations of
lettuces not iceberg that's
00:03:36.28\00:03:40.39
in here so it's
very, very nutritious,
00:03:40.42\00:03:41.85
alright as well. Okay.
00:03:41.88\00:03:43.25
And then of course
we've our mandarin oranges
00:03:43.28\00:03:44.99
we are gonna be using
in this recipe, it is very
00:03:45.02\00:03:46.98
quick recipe as
well. We've our pecans.
00:03:47.01\00:03:50.03
Pecans. Ahah! and
we have red onions
00:03:50.06\00:03:52.76
and we also have the
favorite dressing and
00:03:53.16\00:03:55.06
my favorite dressing
today is raspberry dressing.
00:03:55.09\00:03:59.86
Oh! And I like that yes.
00:03:59.89\00:04:01.91
Did you make that or
you can purchase that.
00:04:01.94\00:04:03.57
No, no, you can
purchase it. Okay.
00:04:03.60\00:04:04.97
You can
purchase it from a store.
00:04:05.00\00:04:06.37
You probably can make it though.
00:04:06.40\00:04:07.77
Yeah, you could make it. Yeah.
00:04:07.80\00:04:09.17
But why go through all that.
00:04:09.20\00:04:10.57
Yeah, I go
through all that, yeah.
00:04:10.60\00:04:11.97
Okay, we are gonna
get started because what
00:04:12.00\00:04:13.37
you want to do, I want
you to do, because if you
00:04:13.40\00:04:14.77
would is go ahead
on and get the onions
00:04:14.80\00:04:16.17
chopped up and
these onions. Okay.
00:04:16.20\00:04:17.64
Are actually, let me
just see now I've got the
00:04:17.98\00:04:20.55
onions sliced thin. Slice thin.
00:04:20.58\00:04:22.92
So, if you would do
that for me slice those
00:04:22.95\00:04:24.32
real thin. This is one of those
00:04:24.35\00:04:25.72
quick recipes put
together. Chopped or
00:04:25.75\00:04:27.22
Slice just slice
them real thin. Oh! Okay.
00:04:27.25\00:04:29.46
Okay. Alright.
00:04:29.49\00:04:30.86
While you doing
that, I'm gonna reach over
00:04:30.89\00:04:32.59
and I'm gonna take.
Oh! Reach over baby.
00:04:32.88\00:04:34.25
This spatula, I'm gonna
start put the other things
00:04:34.64\00:04:37.50
in and this is like I
said a very quick one.
00:04:37.53\00:04:39.69
So, I'm gonna putting
the mandarin oranges in first
00:04:39.72\00:04:41.42
and sometime
just adding. You know,
00:04:41.45\00:04:43.25
think about it,
your normal salads people
00:04:43.28\00:04:45.51
usually make a salad
up and they will have
00:04:45.54\00:04:47.11
a cucumbers and
tomatoes and they will have
00:04:47.14\00:04:50.48
maybe a couple
radishes in there, bell peppers
00:04:51.16\00:04:53.99
and onions. This is a
nice combination because
00:04:54.02\00:04:56.91
it's a kind like a
sweet and a sour combination
00:04:56.94\00:04:59.13
together on the
tongue. Umm! Alright, so you've
00:04:59.16\00:05:01.41
got the mandarin
oranges that kind a citrus taste
00:05:01.44\00:05:03.91
and then you've got
that raspberry dressing as
00:05:03.94\00:05:05.99
well and then you've
got those nice onions.
00:05:06.02\00:05:09.07
I love red onions, okay.
00:05:09.10\00:05:11.01
Appealing to those taste buds.
00:05:11.45\00:05:12.82
Appealing to the
taste buds. Let's put those
00:05:12.85\00:05:14.41
onions in there for me. Okay.
00:05:14.44\00:05:15.94
I'll move this out
of your away alright
00:05:15.97\00:05:18.98
this gives nice color as well.
00:05:19.35\00:05:20.86
Is this alright, to
it, yeah that's fine,
00:05:21.46\00:05:23.24
that's fine, they
are too good. Okay. Okay.
00:05:23.27\00:05:25.11
Now, we are gonna
go ahead on and put in,
00:05:25.14\00:05:26.53
go ahead and do the
pecans, I was just gonna
00:05:26.98\00:05:29.64

pecans. Is it pecans or pecans?
00:05:29.67\00:05:32.59

your favorite
dressing is raspberry.

My favorite dressing,
on this one and I usually
00:05:51.61\00:05:52.98
use a different,
I always say. Okay.
00:05:53.01\00:05:54.38
Be creative just make
your salad a little bit
00:05:54.41\00:05:56.03
different, okay. Okay.
00:05:56.06\00:05:57.43
A little bit different,
not the same salad over

00:05:58.86\00:06:01.87
salad for a dinner for
two, so. Dinner for two.
00:06:01.90\00:06:05.03

Absolutely. Absolutely.
00:06:09.39\00:06:11.49
Okay. Okay.

00:06:38.30\00:06:39.73
we incorporate a Smell-O-Vision.
00:06:39.76\00:06:41.58
Smell-O-Vision, yeah. You know.

Come through TV
sets, you know it's kind a.
00:06:43.01\00:06:44.38
But you know we
have had people call us
00:06:44.41\00:06:45.78
and say. When I see

And that's a good thing.
00:06:58.15\00:07:00.62

00:07:00.95\00:07:02.32

at the end of the
show. Hallelujah. Hey. Hey.
00:07:21.99\00:07:23.36
Alright, now let's just
go then to our next recipe.
00:07:23.39\00:07:27.89
That we will be going
to be preparing because
00:07:27.92\00:07:29.58
we are gonna be
moving to a sauce is gonna go
00:07:29.61\00:07:31.63
over something
real special. Umm! Okay.
00:07:31.66\00:07:33.36
So, just look at
that next recipe. Alright.
00:07:33.39\00:07:34.84
Sweet And Sour Sauce.
00:07:35.65\00:07:37.78
It calls for:
00:07:37.81\00:07:40.14
Now, I'm excited about
this particular recipe.
00:07:57.83\00:07:59.75
Because it is a
Sweet and Sour Sauce,
00:07:59.78\00:08:03.07
but not like the sauce
that you're used to seeing.
00:08:03.10\00:08:05.51
It's actually a
Sweet and Sour Sauce,
00:08:05.89\00:08:07.69
but we're gonna be
not using the things like
00:08:07.72\00:08:10.46
the vinegars and stuff
that are usually in there.
00:08:10.49\00:08:12.64
We're gonna make it
up with our cornstarch.
00:08:12.67\00:08:15.02
Cornstarch. Lemon
juice. Lemon juice.
00:08:15.05\00:08:17.23
Okay, then we got
our pineapple juice and
00:08:17.61\00:08:19.67
this is unsweetened
pineapple juice by the way.
00:08:19.70\00:08:21.37
Unsweetened, okay.
00:08:21.40\00:08:22.77
So, just to replace
of the vinegar. Right.
00:08:22.80\00:08:24.17
That's normally
found in sweet and sour.
00:08:24.20\00:08:25.57
The lemons gonna take
the place of that, alright.
00:08:25.60\00:08:26.97
Okay, good. And
then we are using
00:08:27.00\00:08:28.37
fruit fructose,
which is fruit sugar.
00:08:28.40\00:08:29.77
Fruit sugar. A

pineapple juice inside
00:08:38.41\00:08:43.54
of the pan and
get it started because
00:08:43.57\00:08:45.33

order to be able to make
00:08:45.36\00:08:47.07

00:08:47.10\00:08:48.47
Okay, the juice of a lemon

00:08:56.66\00:08:59.02
And I'm gonna go
ahead on it and we're gonna
00:09:01.16\00:09:02.75
start up the... that's
getting itself together.
00:09:02.78\00:09:05.55

I love this. I
know you do. Easy to do.
00:09:08.05\00:09:10.03
People always ask the
question, where did you
00:09:10.06\00:09:12.08

gadget girl and I'm always
00:09:12.11\00:09:15.41

00:09:15.44\00:09:18.45
I can't remember,

00:09:20.38\00:09:22.39
So, don't even
email us. We've no idea.
00:09:22.42\00:09:24.26
They are still gonna,
we will still get emails,
00:09:24.29\00:09:26.17
but I don't have any idea.
00:09:26.20\00:09:27.57
Yeah, we just told them, yeah.
00:09:27.60\00:09:28.97
Well, I tell people
all the time. I go to flea
00:09:29.00\00:09:30.37
markets and get
things and sometimes,
00:09:30.40\00:09:32.36
I find them in
regular stores, gadget store.
00:09:32.39\00:09:34.68
Gadget store.
That's where you really
00:09:34.71\00:09:36.08
find lot of
stuff, gadget stores.
00:09:36.11\00:09:37.48
You know, in our
travels too people introduce us
00:09:37.51\00:09:40.42
to certain things as well. Umm!
00:09:40.45\00:09:42.34
So, had this
quite sometime though.
00:09:42.99\00:09:45.67
I've had it for a while. Okay.
00:09:45.70\00:09:48.43
And just go and take
your fork and go ahead
00:09:49.18\00:09:51.12
and stir it up.
Lemon juice is ready.
00:09:51.42\00:09:53.85
Lemon, you got all
three lemons there.
00:09:53.88\00:09:55.25
All three baby. Okay. Umm! Umm!
00:09:55.28\00:09:57.94
Alright, okay.
This is cornstarch.
00:09:57.97\00:10:02.57
Umm! It's cornstarch,
let me just hold this
00:10:03.14\00:10:07.07
for a minute here. I
want to go ahead on then,
00:10:07.10\00:10:09.31
I'm gonna put my fructose in
00:10:09.34\00:10:12.18
and I'm gonna put
my soy sauce lite in
00:10:16.69\00:10:20.16
and you know am I
tell you when I used to do,
00:10:24.16\00:10:26.01
my Sweet and Sour
Sauce's before, we started
00:10:26.04\00:10:29.12
changing our diet
out. I remember that I was
00:10:29.15\00:10:31.58
putting like the
ketchup in there and I was
00:10:31.61\00:10:33.77
putting the vinegar
in there and all kind
00:10:33.80\00:10:35.88
of stuff and then. We
tried to get away from
00:10:35.91\00:10:37.99
all those things
because the problems with the
00:10:38.02\00:10:40.20
vinegar, with the
digestive tract and the ketchup
00:10:40.23\00:10:44.65
with lot of sugar and
stuff in it so. We began to
00:10:44.68\00:10:47.31
move around till
we got to the point,
00:10:47.34\00:10:48.71
where we would use
different combinations.
00:10:48.74\00:10:50.92
Yes. And by the way
this has pineapple juice
00:10:50.95\00:10:52.73
in it and you could
also use orange juice in it.
00:10:52.76\00:10:55.36
Alright. Okay.
00:10:55.39\00:10:56.76
So, either one of
those can be want.
00:10:56.79\00:10:58.16
I guess the key is with
the acid type based juice.
00:10:58.19\00:11:00.44
You have that in
acid type base. Okay.
00:11:00.47\00:11:01.84
And you also have
that have had a cornstarch
00:11:01.87\00:11:03.24
because the
cornstarch helps thicken it up
00:11:03.27\00:11:04.94
to make it into that
kind of a same texture
00:11:04.97\00:11:07.56
you have for sweet
and sour. Oh! Okay.
00:11:07.59\00:11:09.14
Okay, so we bring this
to a boil and I tell you
00:11:09.17\00:11:11.54
we're gonna do,
we're gonna go ahead on and
00:11:11.57\00:11:13.19
slowly pour in your
mixture and you gonna need
00:11:13.22\00:11:16.11
a spatula because I
want honey all that,
00:11:16.14\00:11:17.54
like cornstarch you
always wanna make sure
00:11:17.57\00:11:19.32
that when you pour any
kind of a cornstarch base,
00:11:19.35\00:11:22.32
okay, into a hot
item the cornstarch or
00:11:22.35\00:11:24.99
whatever is being mix
with, it has to be cold.
00:11:25.02\00:11:27.00
It has to be cold.
Otherwise it will lump up,
00:11:27.42\00:11:28.79
when it goes into
the actual product itself
00:11:28.82\00:11:30.51
the liquid product, okay. Okay.
00:11:30.54\00:11:32.38
So, you can go ahead
and put that in there,
00:11:32.41\00:11:33.78
slowly pour it in.
Cornstarch, okay alrighty
00:11:33.81\00:11:41.74
all the
goodies, all the goodies.
00:11:42.60\00:11:44.45
Yes dear, has a TV
program isn't it, yes dear.
00:11:44.48\00:11:48.50
Okay, I think I got it
all, do I have it all honey.
00:11:49.28\00:11:51.39
Yeah, yeah that's
it. Okay. Okay. Alright.
00:11:51.42\00:11:54.35
We are going to stir
this around and this is gonna
00:11:54.38\00:11:55.90
get thick and what I
usually do when it does
00:11:55.93\00:11:58.53
is there is a
couple things that happen.
00:11:58.56\00:12:00.25
Number one is you're
gonna keep on stirring.
00:12:00.28\00:12:02.59
Because you don't want
it to stick, just check
00:12:02.62\00:12:04.91
the cornstarch stick
to the body of the pan.
00:12:04.94\00:12:06.43
Okay. Green peppers
or diced green peppers I
00:12:06.46\00:12:09.04
put in because it's gonna
be special for this dinner
00:12:09.07\00:12:11.25
for two or
something I am gonna do later.
00:12:11.28\00:12:12.65
You can also do a
combination of the green
00:12:12.89\00:12:14.70
pepper and the
red pepper together
00:12:14.73\00:12:16.38
and you could also
put in little pieces of
00:12:16.82\00:12:20.33
pineapple. Because it's
actually pineapple juice
00:12:20.36\00:12:23.31
we are using and all
this is because we got
00:12:23.34\00:12:25.45
a special thing we're
gonna be doing on this
00:12:25.48\00:12:28.25
particular segment
called dinner for two.
00:12:28.28\00:12:30.14
Dinner for two. I want
it also to look very nice
00:12:30.17\00:12:32.98
and have the pretty
presentation as well.
00:12:33.01\00:12:34.92
It could be dinner
for two romantically.
00:12:34.95\00:12:37.72
Romantically, dinner for two.
00:12:38.13\00:12:39.50
Might wanna. There you go,

excited already. Okay. Okay.
00:12:46.40\00:12:47.77

00:12:49.67\00:12:51.33
