Do you want to learn how to make
meat patties without the meat?
00:00:01.40\00:00:04.76
We have a wonderful treat
for you today, a healthy treat.
00:00:04.79\00:00:08.55
So you stay tuned.
00:00:08.58\00:00:09.95
Welcome to
"Let's Cook Together."
00:00:42.88\00:00:44.58
My name is Angela Lomacang
and I will be your host today.
00:00:44.61\00:00:48.06
Our guest is MarVella Burton,
all the way from Alabama.
00:00:48.09\00:00:52.23
MarVella, welcome. Thank you.
00:00:52.26\00:00:54.63
I'm glad to be here. All right.
00:00:54.66\00:00:56.52
What are we gonna be
cooking today in our kitchen?
00:00:56.55\00:00:59.08
We have some
oatmeal patties. Okay.
00:00:59.11\00:01:02.33
And we're going to top it
with some delicious brown gravy.
00:01:02.36\00:01:06.50
And we are going to
finish with a coconut pie.
00:01:06.53\00:01:09.38
Sounds good. It is. It is.
00:01:09.41\00:01:11.75
Wow. Well, we have our skillet
ready and our bowls ready to go.
00:01:11.78\00:01:16.23
Okay, so where do we--
let's--what we need to do
00:01:16.26\00:01:18.61
before we move on is
look at our recipe for today.
00:01:18.64\00:01:22.70
Okay. And our recipe
for the oatmeal patties.
00:01:22.73\00:01:26.38
Well, that
sounds nutritious. Yes.
00:01:56.99\00:01:59.53
Okay. First of all...
00:01:59.56\00:02:01.74
Yes. I have my skillet heating.
00:02:01.77\00:02:03.75
Huge skillet. Yes.
00:02:03.78\00:02:06.71
And we're gonna place our dry
ingredients in the mixing bowl.
00:02:06.74\00:02:09.75
Okay. It's our old fashioned
oats and our pecan meal.
00:02:09.78\00:02:14.09
It gives it a flavor of
meat and it also gives it
00:02:14.12\00:02:16.79
that texture of a burger.
00:02:16.82\00:02:19.19
Oh, yeah, yeah. Nice
and firm. Yes, and grainy.
00:02:19.22\00:02:23.67
Then we are going to
add our whole wheat flour.
00:02:23.70\00:02:27.36
Okay, just a little bit. Yes.
00:02:27.39\00:02:29.60
Yeah. And just to
bind the burger together.
00:02:29.63\00:02:33.25
Okay. So it won't fall apart.
00:02:33.28\00:02:34.70
I see. Then we're going to use--
00:02:34.73\00:02:37.71
Yes. Some onion powder.
00:02:37.74\00:02:40.90
Okay. And some garlic powder.
00:02:40.93\00:02:45.68
A little garlic. Yes.
00:02:45.71\00:02:47.59
You can get those
at any grocery store.
00:02:47.62\00:02:49.34
Any store.
Yeah, they sell those.
00:02:49.37\00:02:52.32
We have some
thyme and some sage.
00:02:52.35\00:02:59.01
And about a teaspoon or
more of African cayenne.
00:02:59.04\00:03:05.21
And why did you say we use
African cayenne? It's better?
00:03:05.24\00:03:09.70
Yes, it really is
good for the heart,
00:03:09.73\00:03:12.32
improves the
circulation of the blood. Yes.
00:03:12.35\00:03:16.09
Gives it a nice little
kick too. Yeah, I like that.
00:03:16.12\00:03:19.10
I need that
large bowl over there
00:03:19.13\00:03:20.50
because I'm going to mix
the liquids together. Okay.
00:03:20.53\00:03:25.18
We'll pour in our
water and our soy sauce.
00:03:25.21\00:03:29.69
And this helps the flavor to
mix in with the dry ingredients.
00:03:29.72\00:03:33.59
Now this soy sauce you
use is that the Bragg's amino?
00:03:33.62\00:03:36.23
Yes, that's the
Bragg's liquid amino.
00:03:36.26\00:03:37.93
It's the natural soy sauce.
00:03:37.96\00:03:39.51
And I understand that
there are a couple of others
00:03:39.54\00:03:44.36
on the market there. Yes.
00:03:44.39\00:03:47.53
So we'll slowly just pour
this thing in and then mix it.
00:03:47.56\00:03:51.90
Okay. If you
want the patties dry--
00:03:51.93\00:03:58.02
Yes. Like I like them in firm.
00:03:58.05\00:04:00.30
You don't want to put
too much water in them.
00:04:00.33\00:04:02.29
If you like
them a little softer,
00:04:02.32\00:04:04.52
you may add more water.
00:04:04.55\00:04:06.62
Also to add more moisture
to your patties, if you desire,
00:04:06.65\00:04:11.54
you may grate some
carrots or zucchini
00:04:11.57\00:04:14.61
or vegetables like that--
00:04:14.64\00:04:16.01
Oh, good idea. Yellow squash.
00:04:16.04\00:04:18.05
Gives it a
different little flavor. Yes.
00:04:18.08\00:04:20.30
It also places a little bit
more moisture in your patties.
00:04:20.33\00:04:25.97
See, that's
firming up pretty well.
00:04:26.00\00:04:27.84
You see that? Yeah.
00:04:27.87\00:04:29.39
And it begins to look
more like burger. Yes, it does.
00:04:29.42\00:04:34.07
If you stir--you don't
want to stir it too much. Okay.
00:04:34.10\00:04:37.87
If you stir it too
much it becomes gummy. Okay.
00:04:37.90\00:04:41.41
And you want it firm but
you don't want it like glue.
00:04:41.44\00:04:46.76
Now, MarVella, can you
knead it with your hands or...?
00:04:46.79\00:04:49.03
I wouldn't recommend it
because it changes the texture
00:04:49.06\00:04:51.54
of the patty. Okay.
00:04:51.57\00:04:53.43
Like I said it makes it
a little bit gummy. Okay.
00:04:53.46\00:04:55.56
So you don't want that.
You want it nice and firm.
00:04:55.59\00:04:58.11
So use a spoon? Yes.
00:04:58.14\00:04:59.74
Now you see this
little item I have here?
00:04:59.77\00:05:01.78
What is this? Yeah.
00:05:01.81\00:05:03.18
It's like a top for one
of those can. Can. Yeah.
00:05:03.21\00:05:05.32
When you can tomatoes and
things. That's what it is.
00:05:05.35\00:05:07.29
For those who of us
who are from the country.
00:05:07.32\00:05:10.60
Yeah. We improvise.
00:05:10.63\00:05:12.85
Well, we're in the country here.
And most people can get these.
00:05:12.88\00:05:16.17
That's true. You can
purchase a burger press.
00:05:16.20\00:05:19.11
Yes. But this is simple.
00:05:19.14\00:05:21.63
Generally, people have them
around the house. That's right.
00:05:21.66\00:05:24.08
And I find that it's a
handy little gadget to use
00:05:24.11\00:05:27.75
to shape the
patties. Yes, that is--
00:05:27.78\00:05:29.77
We are going to
remove the top. Okay.
00:05:29.80\00:05:32.42
And as you can feel the heat--
00:05:32.45\00:05:34.03
I sure do, yeah.
Emanating from our skillet.
00:05:34.06\00:05:37.21
And, MarVella, I noticed you
did not use any oil in there.
00:05:37.24\00:05:40.06
No. That's why I
heated the skillet first.
00:05:40.09\00:05:43.18
It eliminates the
need to oil the skillet.
00:05:43.21\00:05:48.82
And then we shape
them into the little top.
00:05:48.85\00:05:50.28
Look at that with
the top. Isn't that cute?
00:05:50.31\00:05:52.39
Yes. We place them there.
00:05:52.42\00:05:54.12
And then we
press the little top.
00:05:54.15\00:05:56.27
And it comes
out perfect patties.
00:05:56.30\00:05:58.25
Perfect. Oh, my, I've just
learned something new today.
00:05:58.28\00:06:02.83
Now if you want a larger burger,
you can get the larger tops.
00:06:02.86\00:06:08.43
That's right. And--
00:06:08.46\00:06:10.93
Never seen that before.
00:06:10.96\00:06:12.33
Anyone can do this,
even the children do this.
00:06:12.36\00:06:15.45
And you know what?
00:06:15.48\00:06:16.85
We won't have to worry about
getting our hands all messy.
00:06:16.88\00:06:19.83
No, no. And
makes it really simple.
00:06:19.86\00:06:24.66
Now when we finish
placing these in the skillet,
00:06:24.69\00:06:28.71
we're gonna cover the skillet.
00:06:28.74\00:06:30.70
And when you cover it,
the moisture that's in it--
00:06:30.73\00:06:33.95
Yes. Helps the patties to
cook quickly because the steam
00:06:33.98\00:06:38.79
helps to cook it. Oh.
00:06:38.82\00:06:43.55
Boy, it does
smell good already. Yes.
00:06:43.58\00:06:46.05
And the cooking time,
anywhere from 7 to 10 minutes.
00:06:46.08\00:06:51.05
And it depends on how
firm you like the patties,
00:06:51.08\00:06:54.20
how brown you like them.
00:06:54.23\00:06:56.05
And once they're
brown, you flip them over
00:06:56.08\00:06:58.53
to the other side
and just let them brown
00:06:58.56\00:07:01.08
another 3 minutes or so. Right.
00:07:01.11\00:07:03.63
And they are
ready for the table.
00:07:03.66\00:07:05.27
Oh, my. Look at
that. Just put them in.
00:07:05.30\00:07:09.44
I love that little top you
use. Isn't that pretty good?
00:07:09.47\00:07:12.52
I'd never--I would
never think of that.
00:07:12.55\00:07:13.92
And look, how
shorter time it's taking--
00:07:13.95\00:07:16.00
Yes. To prepare this.
00:07:16.03\00:07:18.90
And then you can walk
away. Set your timer. Yes.
00:07:18.93\00:07:21.73
And when you come
back in a few minutes,
00:07:21.76\00:07:23.87
you have a dishful of
patties which you can freeze
00:07:23.90\00:07:29.08
if you are not going
to use them the same day.
00:07:29.11\00:07:30.48
Oh, yes. That's right.
00:07:30.51\00:07:32.06
For later use. That's right.
00:07:32.09\00:07:34.53
I'm so used to shaping
these patties with my hands.
00:07:34.56\00:07:36.92
And I really like this idea of
putting it in that little top.
00:07:36.95\00:07:40.38
In the event that your
patties stick to the little top,
00:07:40.41\00:07:45.25
you can just keep a little small
bowl of water and rinse it.
00:07:45.28\00:07:48.55
Because sometimes you put
just a little bit too much water
00:07:48.58\00:07:51.10
and it may make it
a little gummy. Yeah.
00:07:51.13\00:07:52.96
And you just rinse it
and continue to shape.
00:07:52.99\00:07:55.89
Wow. So we're gonna
put the top on here.
00:07:55.92\00:07:59.31
Set our timer for
about 7 minutes. Okay.
00:07:59.34\00:08:02.82
And bake them brown.
00:08:02.85\00:08:04.22
And with the
magic of television,
00:08:04.25\00:08:06.69
what do we have here?
00:08:06.72\00:08:08.12
We have some completed patties.
00:08:08.15\00:08:10.55
There we go. I tell
you this looks great.
00:08:10.58\00:08:13.59
And I'm looking
forward to tasting some later
00:08:13.62\00:08:15.68
and there's more to
go with the patties.
00:08:15.71\00:08:18.10
What else do we need?
00:08:18.13\00:08:19.64
We are going to
make a brown gravy.
00:08:19.67\00:08:22.02
Oh. Yes.
00:08:22.05\00:08:23.42
Okay. And for that
gravy we will need.
00:08:23.45\00:08:27.21
Okay, now let's
start this gravy, MarVella.
00:08:53.50\00:08:56.56
This is the
gravy for the patties.
00:08:56.59\00:08:58.27
Yes. Okay.
00:08:58.30\00:08:59.67
We already have on our pot.
00:08:59.70\00:09:01.82
Yes. Of boiling water.
00:09:01.85\00:09:04.26
It's usually cool water, to make
gravy but this one's different.
00:09:04.29\00:09:08.14
This is different. And
this way we don't need any oil.
00:09:08.17\00:09:13.01
So we have cut
our onions in rings.
00:09:13.04\00:09:15.88
And it only takes a short
time for the onions to simmer
00:09:15.91\00:09:21.38
and for the flavor to
be cooked into our water.
00:09:21.41\00:09:25.45
Okay. All right.
00:09:25.48\00:09:28.30
Next we're going to
add just part of our aminos
00:09:28.33\00:09:32.17
in there and that gives it
that brown colour. Oh, yeah.
00:09:32.20\00:09:36.59
We're going to
place the remaining part
00:09:36.62\00:09:38.26
in this one cup of our water.
00:09:38.29\00:09:41.07
And as you can see
it turns it brown. Yes.
00:09:41.10\00:09:45.15
And we're going to slowly
add our whole wheat flour.
00:09:45.18\00:09:48.78
And you want to stir
it slowly and gradually.
00:09:48.81\00:09:51.81
So it won't get lumpy, huh? Yes.
00:09:51.84\00:09:53.95
We want some smooth gravy.
And this water is cold. Okay.
00:09:53.98\00:09:59.11
Hot water causes it to lump up
00:09:59.14\00:10:00.75
and that's why we
want to mix it--Okay.
00:10:00.78\00:10:03.93
In the cold water
instead of in the hot water.
00:10:03.96\00:10:07.08
And the onions are
cooking in the hot water.
00:10:07.11\00:10:09.57
While we're doing this. So
by the time we finish this--
00:10:09.60\00:10:13.48
in a few minutes,
we'll have the gravy ready.
00:10:13.51\00:10:17.16
All right, so we're
going to continue to mix this.
00:10:17.19\00:10:21.76
And as you can see. Here we go.
00:10:21.79\00:10:24.82
Now it seems like
you've made this before.
00:10:24.85\00:10:27.76
Yes. This is--
00:10:27.79\00:10:29.16
Few times, huh? Yes.
00:10:29.19\00:10:30.65
We make this and put
it over mashed potatoes.
00:10:30.68\00:10:33.73
Oh, yes. Any type of burger.
00:10:33.76\00:10:36.67
Even if you make a
vegetarian meat loaf. Okay.
00:10:36.70\00:10:40.89
You can put this
gravy over the loaves. Yes.
00:10:40.92\00:10:44.13
So we want to stir
it until we see that
00:10:44.16\00:10:47.37
all of the flour is blended.
00:10:47.40\00:10:50.70
You see? Okay.
00:10:50.73\00:10:52.10
Okay? Yes.
00:10:52.13\00:10:53.50
And at the bottom sometimes
you'll see it tends to lump up.
00:10:53.53\00:10:56.97
So as you pour it in
there, you can stop at any time
00:10:57.00\00:11:01.79
and continue to stir
that until it's smooth.
00:11:01.82\00:11:05.13
Okay. All right?
00:11:05.16\00:11:06.53
And we're gonna
place our onion powder.
00:11:06.56\00:11:11.49
Even though you have onions,
why do you use onion powder?
00:11:11.52\00:11:14.00
Because it adds a
little bit more flavor to it.
00:11:14.03\00:11:16.30
Okay. And our garlic.
00:11:16.33\00:11:19.65
You may add fresh
garlic if you like. Oh, yeah.
00:11:19.68\00:11:23.50
And our nutritional
yeast flakes. I love those.
00:11:23.53\00:11:28.78
And we have a
bit of our sea salt.
00:11:28.81\00:11:31.24
Pinch of sea salt.
I'm gonna stir this.
00:11:31.27\00:11:34.80
As you can see, the
water is slightly colored.
00:11:34.83\00:11:37.57
Yes. Yes, it is.
That brown color.
00:11:37.60\00:11:40.20
And for those of you who
really love onions, as I do,
00:11:40.23\00:11:44.25
it makes a nice onion gravy.
00:11:44.28\00:11:47.52
Now we're gonna let that
come to another little boil.
00:11:47.55\00:11:52.33
And we're going to begin to pour
this mixture into the gravy.
00:11:52.36\00:11:56.64
Now what happens is
that the minute that this
00:11:56.67\00:12:00.73
starchy paste
hits that hot water,
00:12:00.76\00:12:03.56
it will begin to thicken.
00:12:03.59\00:12:05.04
Okay. And that's what you want.
00:12:05.07\00:12:07.83
If you want a thicker
gravy, you add a bit more flour.
00:12:07.86\00:12:12.21
Right. Okay.
00:12:12.24\00:12:13.61
And this will
give this thickness.
00:12:13.64\00:12:15.01
And that's the wheat flour.
This is a whole wheat flour.
00:12:15.04\00:12:18.35
Most starches will do
this. Potato starch--Yes.
00:12:18.38\00:12:22.43
Oat, the starch in oatmeal.
00:12:22.46\00:12:25.14
The grains have starch in it.
00:12:25.17\00:12:26.92
So this will be-- easy there.
00:12:26.95\00:12:30.26
And until you see that boiling.
00:12:30.29\00:12:32.19
And we will slowly pour
this in and we are going to stir
00:12:32.22\00:12:37.08
while we pour. Wow.
00:12:37.11\00:12:38.84
This prevents it
from lumping. Yes.
00:12:38.87\00:12:41.97
So that you will
have a nice, smooth gravy.
00:12:42.00\00:12:45.96
It's a lot of gravy. Yes.
00:12:45.99\00:12:48.16
We have a lot of
paste. That's true.
00:12:48.19\00:12:51.42
All right, now you
see how I stopped? Yes.
00:12:51.45\00:12:53.98
So that the little
thickness at the bottom.
00:12:54.01\00:12:57.52
You stir that up. Stir it up.
00:12:57.55\00:12:59.72
And then we're gonna
continue to pour this in.
00:12:59.75\00:13:01.87
You notice how nice
and brown the gravy is.
00:13:01.90\00:13:03.77
Yes, it is. Nice color.
00:13:03.80\00:13:05.73
You know some people out there
00:13:05.76\00:13:07.13
are so used to
using the package gravy.
00:13:07.16\00:13:09.27
You just tear it
open and pour it in.
00:13:09.30\00:13:11.07
Well, see how quick this
is. But this is very fast.
00:13:11.10\00:13:13.79
Very fast and already
you see how thick that is.
00:13:13.82\00:13:16.64
Okay. Yes.
00:13:16.67\00:13:18.71
And the onions, you
know-- see how soft they are.
00:13:18.74\00:13:21.33
Oh, yeah. So the flavor
is being cooked in there.
00:13:21.36\00:13:23.54
You can use whole
wheat pastry flour.
00:13:23.57\00:13:26.55
Oh, you can?
Whole wheat, oat flour.
00:13:26.58\00:13:28.54
Any type of ingredient
that has the starch grains.
00:13:28.57\00:13:32.27
All grains have starch.
00:13:32.30\00:13:34.76
And so this really
helps it to thicken quickly.
00:13:34.79\00:13:38.68
And then the
seasoning. You can smell them.
00:13:38.71\00:13:42.62
Gives it the
flavor that you want.
00:13:42.65\00:13:46.09
Very good. And
normally you just what?
00:13:46.12\00:13:47.94
Pour it over the patties?
00:13:47.97\00:13:49.34
You simmer that for
just maybe about 3 minutes.
00:13:49.37\00:13:52.69
Okay. And it's ready to eat.
00:13:52.72\00:13:56.19
All right. Now for
the-- after we make this,
00:13:56.22\00:14:01.11
we're gonna need dessert.
00:14:01.14\00:14:02.77
Yes, we will. Now what
dessert are we gonna make today?
00:14:02.80\00:14:06.99
Today, we have a
very delicious coconut pie
00:14:07.02\00:14:12.35
with lots of coconut. Okay.
00:14:12.38\00:14:14.97
And the
ingredients for the pie are.
00:14:15.00\00:14:17.84
Okay, we're gonna
start this coconut pie.
00:14:42.47\00:14:45.70
And what do we--
where do we start, MarVella?
00:14:45.73\00:14:48.28
Well, first of all, we
start with our milk in the pot.
00:14:48.31\00:14:53.20
Our soy milk? Soy
and coconut milk--
00:14:53.23\00:14:55.62
And coconut. That's right. Yes.
00:14:55.65\00:14:57.28
We have a cup of
each in there and we have
00:14:57.31\00:14:59.74
kept out one
half cup of soy milk.
00:14:59.77\00:15:03.94
And while that's
coming to a boil,
00:15:03.97\00:15:06.26
we are going to combine the milk
00:15:06.29\00:15:08.31
and the corn starch slowly. Yes.
00:15:08.34\00:15:11.58
To make a smooth
paste. Very good.
00:15:11.61\00:15:17.06
And we're going to
add this to our pot.
00:15:17.09\00:15:22.34
Now, MarVella, I noticed
you do not bake this pie.
00:15:22.37\00:15:27.89
No, this no bake. Well,
the pie has already been baked.
00:15:27.92\00:15:32.16
See, God baked the
coconut on the tree.
00:15:32.19\00:15:34.78
Okay. Come on now.
00:15:34.81\00:15:36.49
Here we go. You're right.
00:15:36.52\00:15:38.04
And the honey-- Yes.
00:15:38.07\00:15:39.60
In the honey comb. All right.
00:15:39.63\00:15:42.47
And so I want to get the women
00:15:42.50\00:15:45.41
out of the
kitchen in record time.
00:15:45.44\00:15:48.64
Yes. Okay, that's my goal.
00:15:48.67\00:15:50.79
Great. That's nice.
00:15:50.82\00:15:52.43
Keep it simple
and keep it sweet.
00:15:52.46\00:15:54.16
It really should be the no bake.
00:15:54.19\00:15:55.69
Oh, now what are
you doing? The coconut.
00:15:55.72\00:15:57.09
This is the
coconut. There we go.
00:15:57.12\00:15:59.70
Then we're gonna add our honey.
00:15:59.73\00:16:02.17
So simple. So simple.
00:16:02.20\00:16:05.07
You may add less or more
depending on your taste. Right.
00:16:05.10\00:16:10.03
The coconut, the honey,
the flavoring, and finally,
00:16:10.06\00:16:17.04
we're gonna add in our sea salt.
00:16:17.07\00:16:20.16
All right? No sugar?
00:16:20.19\00:16:22.97
No. This is the
natural-- I love this.
00:16:23.00\00:16:25.74
Sun baked sweetener
from the honey comb. Yes.
00:16:25.77\00:16:29.80
Now that's nice and hot. Yes.
00:16:29.83\00:16:32.05
And we're gonna make sure that
00:16:32.08\00:16:33.45
we have stirred all
of our starch. Oh, yeah.
00:16:33.48\00:16:38.24
And blended it
well into the milk.
00:16:38.27\00:16:40.35
That's what we will get it to.
00:16:40.38\00:16:41.86
Okay, if you see
there are no lumps.
00:16:41.89\00:16:44.14
That's right. Nice and
smooth. Now it's ready.
00:16:44.17\00:16:46.82
And you notice that
generally when I have a pot on,
00:16:46.85\00:16:50.16
I'm doing the other
preparations so that
00:16:50.19\00:16:52.79
they can be
ready at the same time.
00:16:52.82\00:16:54.76
And that cuts out
your time. All right.
00:16:54.79\00:16:58.94
So now we're gonna slowly
pour in our corn starch mixture.
00:16:58.97\00:17:06.90
And as you can see
it's beginning to thicken.
00:17:06.93\00:17:11.11
Yes, it is. So that when we
finish, our pie will be ready.
00:17:11.14\00:17:16.35
It will only need to chill.
00:17:16.38\00:17:19.66
I'm gonna stop here
because you see there's a--
00:17:19.69\00:17:22.93
Yeah, at the bottom.
00:17:22.96\00:17:24.33
Right, just a little
bit that needs to be mixed.
00:17:24.36\00:17:29.34
Okay, so you used everything.
00:17:29.37\00:17:31.74
Yes, I paid for it all
so I plan to eat it all.
00:17:31.77\00:17:35.61
That's right. Oh,
that's thickening up.
00:17:35.64\00:17:39.51
You see that? Very nice.
00:17:39.54\00:17:41.67
Now we're gonna
let that simmer. Yes.
00:17:41.70\00:17:44.90
Now, MarVella,
you have a school.
00:17:44.93\00:17:48.28
You mentioned in
our earlier program.
00:17:48.31\00:17:50.63
Yes. My mother owns and operates
00:17:50.66\00:17:53.49
her own school
and we work together.
00:17:53.52\00:17:56.05
How long have she been in...?
Well, she was my first teacher--
00:17:56.08\00:17:59.77
Wow. When I was
4-years-old. Oh, my.
00:17:59.80\00:18:02.08
And she worked for the public
school system for a while.
00:18:02.11\00:18:04.90
And then she
opened-- reopened her school.
00:18:04.93\00:18:07.90
Wow. And my son
graduated from there.
00:18:07.93\00:18:11.53
He is now 30-years-old.
00:18:11.56\00:18:14.09
And we still teach
children about the Lord.
00:18:14.12\00:18:17.80
And the basic three Rs.
00:18:17.83\00:18:19.67
Reading, 'riting, and
'rithmetic. There you go.
00:18:19.70\00:18:22.29
And we also
have cooking classes.
00:18:22.32\00:18:24.38
We teach them
how to sew. Really?
00:18:24.41\00:18:27.04
And they take electronics
and we try to teach them
00:18:27.07\00:18:30.33
some of the
practical things. Yes.
00:18:30.36\00:18:32.61
That will help them
to be productive citizens
00:18:32.64\00:18:35.36
and be good servants
in the field for Christ.
00:18:35.39\00:18:39.05
Amen. What about the grades?
00:18:39.08\00:18:41.19
What--is it kindergarten through
sixth grade or what is it?
00:18:41.22\00:18:45.00
No. One teacher
has the kindergarteners
00:18:45.03\00:18:47.22
through the fifth grade. Yes.
00:18:47.25\00:18:49.33
And I teach grade
sixth through twelve.
00:18:49.36\00:18:51.87
Sixth through twelve? Yes.
00:18:51.90\00:18:53.73
And I teach music lessons. Oh.
00:18:53.76\00:18:56.44
And we just have a
wonderful time in the Lord.
00:18:56.47\00:18:59.07
We had a garden this past fall
and we've ploughed up the soil
00:18:59.10\00:19:03.51
for garden for the spring time.
00:19:03.54\00:19:06.04
What a school. Yes.
00:19:06.07\00:19:07.74
I think that's wonderful.
00:19:07.77\00:19:09.14
It's quite a bit of
work, I must say. It is.
00:19:09.17\00:19:11.15
But my mother has
been teaching for so long.
00:19:11.18\00:19:14.45
Oh. And it's
hard for her to stop.
00:19:14.48\00:19:17.86
Yeah, yeah. Yes.
00:19:17.89\00:19:20.15
So I just love it. Oh, amen.
00:19:20.18\00:19:23.75
Now let's get back to
this pie for a moment.
00:19:23.78\00:19:25.60
It's ready. Oh, that fast.
00:19:25.63\00:19:27.74
We just--oh, look
at this. It's thick.
00:19:27.77\00:19:31.26
And you see the
coconut. Oh, my. Yes, you do.
00:19:31.29\00:19:33.74
And so we'll just pour it into--
00:19:33.77\00:19:36.87
Look at that. The crust. Wow.
00:19:36.90\00:19:40.95
Nice and creamy,
isn't it? Yes, yes, yes.
00:19:40.98\00:19:44.32
And you get that crust
that's already made that the--
00:19:44.35\00:19:47.33
Now, too, I love
the crust that I make
00:19:47.36\00:19:51.42
with coconut
and sunflower seeds.
00:19:51.45\00:19:54.96
Yes. And pecan meal.
00:19:54.99\00:19:56.60
It gives it a very nice
coconut and toasty flavor.
00:19:56.63\00:20:03.14
Isn't it lovely? Absolutely.
00:20:03.17\00:20:05.00
It smells wonderful,
doesn't it? Yes, yes.
00:20:05.03\00:20:07.57
So the meals that we
made today was the patties,
00:20:07.60\00:20:12.50
the oatmeal
patties with the gravy
00:20:12.53\00:20:14.75
and with that what would
you use to complement that dish?
00:20:14.78\00:20:19.64
We have our starch.
We have our protein.
00:20:19.67\00:20:22.81
So we need some vegetables
00:20:22.84\00:20:24.68
and we definitely
have to have a raw salad.
00:20:24.71\00:20:27.32
I was gonna say a
salad. It can be a coleslaw.
00:20:27.35\00:20:30.45
It can be a
romaine lettuce. Yes.
00:20:30.48\00:20:33.28
With other
vegetables. That's right.
00:20:33.31\00:20:34.79
And some steam broccoli on
the side would be delicious.
00:20:34.82\00:20:38.35
Have you ever made
this for a Sabbath meal?
00:20:38.38\00:20:40.29
Yes. It is delicious.
00:20:40.32\00:20:42.70
You can also
have mashed potatoes
00:20:42.73\00:20:44.55
and put the patties
and gravy over there.
00:20:44.58\00:20:47.03
That's right. Oh,
yeah, that's right.
00:20:47.06\00:20:49.25
Now do you cook like this
for the children at school?
00:20:49.28\00:20:51.55
Yes. I teach them.
00:20:51.58\00:20:52.95
As a matter of fact, in our
last class we made desserts.
00:20:52.98\00:20:56.73
We made coconut
pies, carrot pies.
00:20:56.76\00:20:59.80
They're anxious
to make the cookies.
00:20:59.83\00:21:02.04
That's the next. And
they made tofu lemon pies.
00:21:02.07\00:21:05.95
Really? No cook--we all did them
all on the top of the stove.
00:21:05.98\00:21:10.59
And they each got to
take their own pie home.
00:21:10.62\00:21:13.66
Some didn't quite
make it to the house
00:21:13.69\00:21:16.27
but they really
loved every dessert.
00:21:16.30\00:21:21.25
That's so cute.
When you said some didn't
00:21:21.28\00:21:22.81
quite make it to the house,
I remember when I was little.
00:21:22.84\00:21:25.12
I was born in England and my--
00:21:25.15\00:21:28.07
in school we had to
make little cookies.
00:21:28.10\00:21:29.93
And I brought some home.
00:21:29.96\00:21:32.05
Well, I brought a
tiny little piece home.
00:21:32.08\00:21:34.53
So I understand what the
children are going through.
00:21:34.56\00:21:37.46
I got a tiny little piece.
00:21:37.49\00:21:38.86
I kept eating it
all the way home.
00:21:38.89\00:21:40.26
And I said,
"Mom, this is for you."
00:21:40.29\00:21:41.67
She said, "What is
this?" "This is a cookie."
00:21:41.70\00:21:43.96
The remains. Yes.
00:21:43.99\00:21:46.35
So the children love this.
00:21:46.38\00:21:48.49
They love it. And
tell me something.
00:21:48.52\00:21:50.42
In your school, is
it a boarding academy?
00:21:50.45\00:21:53.25
It doesn't seem
like it. No, it's not.
00:21:53.28\00:21:55.44
The children commute and--
00:21:55.47\00:21:58.36
How far do they--
some of them commute?
00:21:58.39\00:22:00.04
Generally within 20
to 40 miles. Okay. Wow.
00:22:00.07\00:22:04.70
Some have come
from Madison, Alabama,
00:22:04.73\00:22:07.45
Huntsville, Tennessee.
00:22:07.48\00:22:08.85
Even some have
come from out of state.
00:22:08.88\00:22:10.68
Really? Yes.
00:22:10.71\00:22:12.27
And in the past, some friends
00:22:12.30\00:22:15.29
have brought down
their older students.
00:22:15.32\00:22:18.77
And they've been
guest in our homes. Oh, my.
00:22:18.80\00:22:23.29
And the Lord has
blessed tremendously.
00:22:23.32\00:22:25.73
Not just academically
and with the practical arts
00:22:25.76\00:22:29.14
but spiritually. Yes.
00:22:29.17\00:22:31.10
And we have some now who
are studying for the ministry.
00:22:31.13\00:22:34.25
Really? Some are want to
be engineers and teachers.
00:22:34.28\00:22:38.25
And it's just a blessing.
00:22:38.28\00:22:41.13
It's a blessing to see
what the Lord is doing.
00:22:41.16\00:22:44.02
Contrary to the belief of
some that our young people are,
00:22:44.05\00:22:47.24
kind of, you
know, hopeless-- Yeah.
00:22:47.27\00:22:50.28
I believe that God is
gonna do a mighty work
00:22:50.31\00:22:52.57
in these last days through them.
00:22:52.60\00:22:53.97
Yes. Yes, He is. Yes, He is.
00:22:54.00\00:22:55.64
And food is the part
of the message too. It is.
00:22:55.67\00:22:59.96
And we have some that
have lost weight. Oh, my.
00:22:59.99\00:23:03.37
Since they've decided
to change their lifestyle.
00:23:03.40\00:23:07.17
One family was
threatened with diabetes.
00:23:07.20\00:23:11.06
And they've decided
to change their lifestyle
00:23:11.09\00:23:13.65
and the Lord has
really blessed. Really?
00:23:13.68\00:23:16.40
So this is-- it's a simple way
00:23:16.43\00:23:18.57
to introduce a
better way of living.
00:23:18.60\00:23:20.91
Yes, the health
message. And I like it.
00:23:20.94\00:23:23.49
You're teaching the
children how to cook.
00:23:23.52\00:23:26.29
And many of them have taken
this back home. I was gonna say.
00:23:26.32\00:23:29.32
And this is what
inspires the parents. Yes.
00:23:29.35\00:23:31.63
It's what they see
taking place in their children.
00:23:31.66\00:23:33.55
Yes. They are great messengers.
00:23:33.58\00:23:35.77
And they bring these--
the things that they learn
00:23:35.80\00:23:37.89
and they bring it home.
00:23:37.92\00:23:39.29
And they're teaching
their parents how to eat.
00:23:39.32\00:23:41.21
It's wonderful. It's marvelous.
00:23:41.24\00:23:44.96
That's right,
MarVella. God is so good.
00:23:44.99\00:23:47.64
Yes. But He is marvelous, right?
00:23:47.67\00:23:49.34
Great and
wonderful are His works.
00:23:49.37\00:23:52.30
Lord God Almighty. That's right.
00:23:52.33\00:23:54.65

No long time. You're right.
00:24:03.93\00:24:06.48
We weren't in the
kitchen a long time.
00:24:06.51\00:24:08.40

Welcome back to
"Let's Cook Together."
00:26:39.05\00:26:41.62
What we're gonna do is show you
a display of what we just made.
00:26:41.65\00:26:45.59
All right, MarVella?
That's exactly right.
00:26:45.62\00:26:48.10
Okay. We first made
our vegetarian patties.
00:26:48.13\00:26:52.48
Our oatmeal.
Oatmeal and pecan meal.
00:26:52.51\00:26:56.47
Then next we made our
gravy. Delicious gravy.
00:26:56.50\00:26:59.45
Our oil free gravy
made with whole wheat flour.
00:26:59.48\00:27:03.60
And this is a sample
of how you can serve them.
00:27:03.63\00:27:07.14
Now can you bake
this? You can bake that.
00:27:07.17\00:27:09.68
You can put the
gravy over the patties
00:27:09.71\00:27:11.54
and bake it in the oven. Okay.
00:27:11.57\00:27:13.44
Then last, we made our dessert
which is our coconut pie.
00:27:13.47\00:27:19.91
Yum. We can
still smell that aroma.
00:27:19.94\00:27:21.97
Yes. And it's delicious.
00:27:22.00\00:27:24.02
Once it's chilled, it's
really super. All right.
00:27:24.05\00:27:27.89
This is--this looks good
and I know it tastes good also.
00:27:27.92\00:27:31.67
For those people out
there that want to learn
00:27:31.70\00:27:34.08
a new way to eat, you
can try this new style.
00:27:34.11\00:27:37.30
If you want to
get off from meat,
00:27:37.33\00:27:38.93
they can do it,
can't they, MarVella?
00:27:38.96\00:27:40.33
Yes. And just one
step, one day at a time
00:27:40.36\00:27:43.68
begin changing things and you'll
find that you feel better.
00:27:43.71\00:27:46.89
Yes. All the
weight will drop off.
00:27:46.92\00:27:48.79
It's cost effective to
make your own entrees. Oh, yes.
00:27:48.82\00:27:55.25
