[@hs-qk9qf]

Life and cooking lessons! Elders are so important. There's an old African proverb that says "When an old person dies, a library burns down."

[@judithwalker8682]

AMEN . I had to smile listening to you talking about your grandma. May her memory be a forever blessing to you.

[@dharmon8798]

She gave you good advice. I told mine that everyone that smiles in your face aren't always your friends

[@karenwright2845]

Chef is the uncle everyone wants to have in there family

[@yeyesone1]

Chef is like that uncle that we never had He has no idea how much of a blessing he is to us; every time I watch him I get motivated to cook and that is how I show my family love. Love you and keep going strong sir.

[@OLDSCHOOLSOULFOOD]

[@ctaz8746]

I concur, thanks Chef for your warm spirit and inspiring us to cook those old school meals!

[@ebaynautica2732]

Facts 😂

[@brondisward9098]

He's a southern man and talks the way my dad used to!

[@ladyveevee2888]

If people do not like to hear you talk, then they need not listen. I love the stories because it reminds me of the good old days growing up in Alabama with my old school grandmother that cooked everyday three square meals with no exception in addition to cleaning white folks houses for crumbs.

[@latonyamcneil-williams4442]

It is a hurting thing when a grandmother passed away. I miss my grandmother, mother, and dad. But we do have memories to pass on the next generation.

[@kathrynbryant9705]

I love the stories and to hear you talk. I try your recipes every week

[@ajl8198]

Me too!!!

[@mariapenilla8206]

Back in the day good cookware

Don't stop talking! Love your stories! Can't wait to meet your grandmother & you in heaven!

[@callalily92]

Hey chef those pans I grew up knowing is called roasting pans, you can still purchase them at some stores still. My mom has hers as well a large one and a smaller one. Those are the best pans, we cooked our turkey in them. That meal looks so good. Thanks for sharing and enjoy. Love to hear you talk that’s where the education comes from. Have a blessed SUNDAY

[@sweetteame6814]

Amen Grandma, she told the truth, we all love our Grandma’s they tell you like it is. We don’t know until it hits us Grandma was right. If we all had Grandma’s these days that could get out in community and tell folks just how it is. Love your stories. I got lots of stories as well. Never Stop telling stories we love them. I think Grandma was sitting in your kitchen listening to your stories, because my Grandma always told me her folks and preachers back then said that when your remembering and telling stories those Angels come down and are very proud of you. ♥️♥️🙏🏼 The Nichols Family Pilot Mountain N.C. ♥️🙏🏼♥️🙏🏼♥️🙏🏼♥️

I really miss my beautiful grandmother. I love her so much I was 13th years old when she went home.

[@joshww2339]

I appreciate your story, my grandmother taught me to cook and sew as well as grow vegetables and preserve them. Depression era values. I can relate immensely with your story.

[@sherikahunter9435]

I’m probably younger..early 40’s but my granny & grandpa raised me she taught me to cook,clean,garden..we also had a huge vegetable garden I would help her can & put veggies up. Sure miss her but thankful for what she taught me so I can pass it on❤️

So much of the things u say remind me of the things my grandmother would tell me..as you were discussing..She would always remind me to be careful of the company I keep...she talked about the Lord so much too.Im so grateful that my parents and grandmother taught me these things.God bless.

[@WillowsGarden]

Hello Chef Jeffery and everyone! This brings back memories of my grandmother and mother’s Sunday meals. I was truly blessed to have a wonderful childhood. I love to hear you talk and your stories, you bring many precious memories I have from my childhood. Words of wisdom Chef, we where blessed to be taught from wise people in our lives. Sunday chicken meal was always a must. Dirty flour, I still laugh about that comment, guess I cooked with dirty flour for years, lol. Looks delicious Chef, have a blessed day!

[@gwenholcombe9705]

Yes that’s Pyrex, my Mother owned lots of Pyrex cookware. Clean. and healthy dishes to cook in. Not to mention she taught me that Stainless steel is also the best thing to cook in. 🙏🏽❤️

[@shaundratoney843]

Chef Jeffrey, it's your channel and you talk and reminisce as much as you like. I personally enjoy the ambiance that you bring.

[@donttakeitpersonal1]

Less is more AMEN! Someone had to say it and Im glad it was one from one of my favorite chefs. All these cooks out there throwing the kitchen sink into their recipes thinking they're Gordon Ramsay SMH. Love your food and stories. Keep doin' you.

[@angelastcyr1781]

Thanks for the happy and sad story. Keep talking as you cook! My grandmother's husband was a school administrator and did all of the fine cooking. I miss his sausage, mashed potatoes and corn to this day (Thursday night dinner).

[@annjordan6257]

Hi Chef, I wish our children would listen today when we tell them to watch the company that they keep, but they want listen.

[@sherylpatterson6022]

Good morning Chef Jeffery!!! I love watching your channel before Church. Very inspiring! I love your old school tales!!! Brings back memories of my childhood. My granny was about 4'9 and around 90 lbs but she was a strong spiritual woman of God. Her father lived to be 96 years old. They had so many old school stories that I will cherish for life. I laughed when you said you put vanilla in your gravy!!! LoL!!! Could be a new invention!!! Old school vanilla gravy!!! LoL. Keep on stirring up your gifts Chef Jeffery! 🎁🎁

[@tiffanylong3800]

[@vaquero1117]

We use to call your pans, given to you by your paternal grandmother, roasting pan with/ or without a cover. Love hearing your family stories. Keep up the good work.

[@lydiajoy1823]

That looks delicious and I love the stories about your grandmother. She sounds like a wonderful woman. When my grandmother died I discovered that she wanted me to have her little handmixer. I used that thing for years, the motor finally gave out but I will not part with it ever ever ever. How many batches of cookies did she make with that little handmixer? It’s a treasure for me.

[@MamaRayRayInTheKitchen]

Jeffrey I wish I’ll live in Texas I’ll drive 100 miles just to buy a plate of your food it’s always the best and looking delicious and you put that love in that food those chicken thighs look so delicious and superb I got to make me some today I love chicken and lemon 🍋 with string beans and rice you really smothered those chicken thighs beautiful 👍🏽🍋🍋

[@OLDSCHOOLSOULFOOD]

Thanks for the kind words

[@auntie9077]

Yes,Sir.... great memories of food lovingly made!!!!

[@ighsight]

What a wonderful gift and wonderful story. I remember those old school roasting pans, what I wouldn't give to have something like that from my mother or grandmother who have both passed on.

[@GrandmamaCherylyn]

Your grandmother was so right, love your stories My grandmother was the head usher and I remember if you were chewing gum in church, she would put a cup to your mouth and would tell you to spit it in the cup and if you didn’t want to be embarrassed, you better do it, lol

[@steveprice3541]

Yes sir! That's some good looking smothered chicken! And you keep on telling your stories. Your story about your grandmother telling you to watch your company sure hit home with me too... found a few tears to my eyes. I'm a little older than you I was in college in the mid 70s. I also have one of those roasters just like yours and the Pyrex cooking dishes. I don't have the whole set bit the couple I do have I do use frequently. My mother taught me to cook as my grandmother was a little old by the time I came along. Well in college I used to call her and ask her how do you cook spaghetti sauce, chili, goulash, pinto beans. Fried chicken, peanut butter fudge, strawberry pie. All the things I had at home growing up I wanted to have when I was in college. Have to say I became a pretty good cook and my roommates certainly enjoyed my experimentation. Yes sir you keep telling your stories. I'm sure there's a bunch of us that love to hear your stories and only one or two that don't and they don't have to listen.

[@jasonvickers2265]

Chef that makes me so hungry. It's also the stories that make the food better. Kids these days needs to listen to the stories of their elders. Bless you Sir

[@OLDSCHOOLSOULFOOD]

Thanks 🙏🏾

[@deniseholloway]

Happy Sunday Chef! I have those same roasters, I had them for at bout 25 years. Great story about your grandmother, she was a wise woman. Dinner looks awesome!👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿❤️❤️❤️

[@papageorgechronicles6792]

First off, love your channel! I, too, have been cooking for over fifty years! I remember when it was frowned upon for a boy to be in the kitchen. I do disagree, however, that a myriad of spices will destroy the flavor of a dish. I do a lot of Jamaican jerk, Cajun and Asian dishes...just to name a few! Depending on the dish, upwards of ten or more herbs/spices are used! In most Indian dishes, more than ten spices are used. There's nothing wrong with using lots of spices....IF one knows what they're doing! Be well!

[@sparkyfive4340]

HI CHEF JEFFERY ....Thanks G' MA. MINNIE......for this great recipe.......& ......HEAVENLY KISSES.....gonna try this recipe next weekend, looks delicious & OUTSTANDING !!!....thighs & wings are my FAVORITE parts.....HUGS from one of the "FAMILY "......."SPARKY "......YUP.....the glass cookware is ....."PYREX"....you're right to protect them when you pack to move....I had one break in half.

[@jennifergiles9521]

[@paulettecohen3593]

I just love listening to your stories

[@melodysfiresidefarm]

It's a enamelware roaster. You have the perfect size for normal use because most are the really big ones for the Thanksgiving turkey. I enjoy you chatting to us while you cook it's like sitting in the kitchen with you. Thanks for sharing!

[@OLDSCHOOLSOULFOOD]

Thanks

[@dorislenix2739]

I love That story about your grandmother. I have thoes pans that you have.They come in handy at Thanksgiving and other hollidays when your cooking a lot of food.Thanks for sharing your great recipes with us.I love all of your recipes .😋

[@reggieredmond2432]

My mom’s name was Minnie and my grandmother was ALMA both born and raised in Beaumont Texas. My mom and grandmother told me the same thing. I learned how to cook from them gumbo, fried chicken everything. Until the day she died she if I was making anything even if I knew how to make it I’d call her and ask “ now mom do I add this or that? Yes and baby do you have some of that Lawry’s. For your chicken? That’s what momma uses you know. Lol that conversation would make her day. And mine too. They with JESUS now and I miss. But they’re cooking smells fill my home and they are here.

[@OLDSCHOOLSOULFOOD]

Awesome memories and stories

[@candyparton9230]

Chef, that is some more great looking food. I still cook this meal as this is the way I was raised to eat on Sunday and we killed a chicken every Saturday to fix for Sunday dinner. Sometimes it was dumplings and dressing or creamed pots and rich onion gravy on our smothered chicken. Thank you for being such a blessing to us. Love and blessings.

[@ginafriend1690]

It's so good and thighs are my favorite. Such a good home-cooked meal!! I was going to ask you the other day, how your dirty flour was coming along! I don't use dressing on my salads. Pyrex no doubt. Probably the best $5 spent! Your Grandma knew what she was talking about 🙌🙏❤. (I always said if I ever Had to get married again, he would be a cook) Church is Important. I go myself! Thanks for sharing this. #helpsomebodyoldschoolsoulfood

[@aprilreed1274]

Straight facts-Watch your company! 💯

[@latonyamcneil-williams4442]

Those are really good roasting pots. You are so right you can't find those roasting pots anymore.

[@camillewhite-harrell7226]

Watching this I realized I never made smothered chicken. I will make it this week. Great video and I love to hear your stories. Keep them coming. Have a blessed day.

[@kathyannbatiste3548]

Love the "watch your company."

[@africangem67]

I remember my mom using those pots...she had the same color. They are " Vision Pots". Man you taking me back! I smell the aroma all the way in MARYLAND cooking with that main ingredient ....LOVE.

[@Jani28]

I can smell this thru the TV. I too was very close with my Grandmother. When she passed it was devastating to me. She was a few months shy of 90. I watched her cook & remember all she taught me. I was blessed to have her and I really miss her! ❤ I believe those glass pots are Corningware brand. I wish I had a set.

[@OLDSCHOOLSOULFOOD]

Thanks for sharing!

[@brendahenson211]

Hey Chef! The stories You tell I always look forward to hearing and I love your voice. Keep doing what you do. Yes that lesson that you learned from grandmother is so true. Good wisdom and your grandmother would be proud of you. Please don’t start me laughing again at the dirty flour🤣Chef. I'm enjoying this Sunday dinner. Great choice and I will be trying this. Thanks!

[@summerchild6893]

Chef, I did chuckle a little about the vanilla flavor in the gravy.But I know laughing is catching.I love your stories. Grandmothers to me are grand. Mine was blind when we were young, but I will never forget her Hugs and Love. Always praying for us.The food look so good too.Your grandmother sounded like a very very wise person and I am glad you listened to her.

[@OLDSCHOOLSOULFOOD]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@calisoul1326]

Awesome and delicious. I use the same flour to make may gravy. That was the way I was taught and I don't waste anything.

[@smcorral1]

I love Chicken Things also, they are my favorite peices of the chicken

[@sweetpeople9783]

Hi Chef Jeff!!!I love the recipe, smothered chicken!!!that remind me of my mom smothering chicken, she did just like you. She also cooked smothered liver and onions. When my Aunt came to visit and we had left over chicken from takeout, they would smother it the next day for breakfast as well. You know how to cook using the "Dirty Flour", it have seasoning in too!. The candied carrots, oh man, bring back memories. Thanks too for the wisdom as well and keep telling your stories😀. And yes those are Pyrex, clear pots/dishes.

[@lindapr9529]

WOW! I have those baking pans, too. I've had it for years.

[@cookingwithlindajane]

I was ready to hit that unfollow button if you was in Texas and was not in support of them cowboys 🤣🤣

[@richardallen6080]

Brother i really enjoy your channel and your stories. I too had those pans when i was growing up we would cook thanksgiving turkey in it good memories. Now i am 65 and i have bowls and things that my mother used it gives me comfort when i cook with them! God Bless

[@desireerusche4304]

Well done Sir. Just like my Grandma did back in New Orleans. You are correct, use that oil. The oil is not dirty. It is a huge part of the flavor. Enjoy

[@deranzbrown7046]

Those call roaster pans Chef. I grew up with the same ones. And I still use them. I enjoy your show keep up the good work. God bless.

[@tjohnson8538]

Blessed Sunday morning Chef Jeffery. Those pans your grandma gave you are called #RoastingPans and you can still find ‘em (#Walmart) but not sure about the “durability” cause I still have my set my granny gave me along with a few cast irons skillets from my great-great grandma💖 Beautiful story about your #GrandmaMinnie thank you for sharing. Always remember that she’s with you every time you cook this dish (hugs) and believe she’s very proud of you and smiling💖 Again Chef thanks for sharing 💖Have a blessed Sunday #BlessingsFrmSanAngeloTx

[@OLDSCHOOLSOULFOOD]

Thanks for the kind words

[@sharonavictoria7155]

Chef: Love your stories ! We cook alike. Those carbon steel roasting pans with an enamel coating with lid are a good heat conductor, & can be found on Amazon, some small supermarkets or houseware shops. Enameling makes cleanup quick and easy, plus they're light weight & inexpensive. I've 2 oval pans like the ones your great grandma gave you in 2 sizes[ small & large ]😅 I love these roasting pans because they keep meats or stews tender & juicy without drying out ! I'll have to make this smothered chicken dish this fall . When it comes to adding a splash of a liquid condiment, can be awkward because the spout doesn't necessarily facilitate controlling how much liquid comes out of the bottles opening & could ruin the dish. But I found a solution . I went to a drugstore & bought an eyedropper to remedy this issue. It's a great little tool for a cook. Thanks for the video ❤

[@elizabethwilliams1113]

Jeffrey another good looking meal. Nothing but love for you 🥰🥰🥰

[@wildman1111]

Your Gramma sounded like a very smart lady. You are so right about people making fun of a guy that like to cook in the 70's and 80's. But i didn't care either i still cooked lol.
