We're putting a shepherd's pie in the oven tonight. Yummy! With collard valley cooks. And boy, we're gonna have something good tonight. Shepherd's pie. Today, I'm gonna start out by peeling my potatoes and getting them to boiling because you're gonna make a lot of cream potatoes. And when I make potatoes, what I do is I peel them all and I wash them after I peel them, okay? So we're gonna peel all of these potatoes.  Now, I'm just using a paring knife like mama did. That's how I like to peel potatoes. I'm faster at it than if I use a paring knife, but you use whatever makes you feel comfortable. I also slice them really thin so that they get done because you want your potatoes to be nice and creamy with no lumps. So make sure you slice them thin. I'm mixing them off and now I'm gonna chop them up, get them started and I'm gonna stove. If you put a lid on them, they'll get to boiling quicker. That way several belts mix away. Y'all can slice them thin like this if you want to. Or you can, mama always did it this way. She sliced it twice into quarters and then she sliced it. I'm gonna get this on the stove and get it started on high. Gonna put a lid on it so it'll start up quicker. This is the smallest onion I had. So we'll use it more in the mirror anyway. Now, if for some reason you're feeding this to kids, I probably won't eat it anyway because it's got mixed vegetables in it. But if you're trying to disguise the onion, use onion powder. Works really good. So you can always do that. This is not, I'm using my plastic cutting board today and it's loud. Chris just brought them back from the house and y'all know I got these beautiful cutting boards but I just thought for a change I'll use some plastic because when I use my wood cutting boards, the onion does sit down in there and I really need to put another coating and me and Chris will video that when we do it because we really need to season those boards again. And that way the scents and juices and stuff don't get down in the wood as much. So I'm gonna go ahead and start adding some ground beef to this. You're gonna use a pound and a half of chuck. And of course, if you've got beef, use it. Just drain it good. Should drain it anyway. So my shepherd's pie is pretty much, I guess the Southern version because I just use the spices that we all have in our cabinet already, which makes it so much more simple to cook. So we're gonna get the onion in here with our beef and I'm gonna brown this before I add my spices. These are my skins from my Korean potatoes today for my shepherd's pie. I'm putting them in here. I rent some really good. Now you're going to put them in here and cover them in water and that way they won't turn brown and get them in the refrigerator. And then tomorrow, if you have a sandwich or hamburgers or hot dogs or whatever, even if it's just a snack, you can get these out, let them dry a little bit and then coat them with some olive oil, throw them in the air fryer or in your oven and make some potato skins for the kids. Or for the adults for the snack. Now remember, we have so many questions about our kitchen items and our cookbooks. Remember, you'll find all those answers if you just go to our website at www.cowardvalleycoots.com. You're gonna find cutting boards and utensils and cookware and even all the way down to what I like to, what lotion I like to use, beauty items too. All right, we have drained our beef and so now we're gonna add a teaspoon of Weber Steak and Chop. It's just one of my favorite things to cook with. We're gonna put in a few squirts of Worcestershire sauce. I'm gonna put a teaspoon worth. And you can always make this more spicy if you've got a family that likes it. Where I grew up, we didn't need a whole lot of stuff. That was too spicy. We're gonna put in half a cup of brown gravy mix. We're gonna drain one hand into our beef mixture to help bind that gravy mix in with the beef. That way we get all of the vitamins that were packed in these vegetables. We're not just drain them down the sink.  This is gonna be our beef mixture that goes in the middle of our shepherd's pie. So simple and easy, y'all.  It has a lot of flavor in it. You just mix it up with a little bit of liquid like that. Just mix it good. All right, it's time to cream the potatoes. You want them to be fork tender. What I mean by that, they should just break the pieces just like these are doing. Now we're gonna get them over here and make some really good cream potatoes. I'm gonna drain them. I'm gonna use this over here because it just does a great job. We love this thing. And then we're gonna mix them up right here in the sink. You mix them in the sink then you don't have to worry about splattering everything. That's what mama always did. So we're gonna put in a half stick of butter, three quarters teaspoon, a black pepper. This is a little quarter teaspoon, just three of these. A whole teaspoon of salt, quarter cup sour cream. I'm gonna grab my cooking spray and spray this iron skillet. This is an iron skillet. I think shepherds pie is really pretty in an iron skillet. You're gonna put half of your potatoes in it. The potatoes in the bottom of the dish add your drained vegetables around the outside edge and add your beef in the center and then top it with the rest of the potatoes around the edges. So what I like to do is take my veggies and sprinkle them around the outside and you're gonna put your meat on the inside. I thought the skillet might be too big, but no, it's not. This is our three inch skillet. If you don't have one, they're wonderful. They're a 10 inch, three inch high skillet. So there's our beef in the middle and then you're gonna take the rest of your potatoes and put around the edge. And no, I don't season the vegetables because the meat has got plenty of seasoning and so does the potatoes. And when you dip it and serve it, of course, it all kind of blends together and it's just really good.  This is probably gonna need to be in the oven if you want it to get really pretty. I'll bake it at 400. If you want it to get really pretty and toasty, it's probably gonna be in there at least 50 minutes. All right, we're gonna bake this like I said for about 50 minutes in this oven, 400 degrees. If you got convection, that's even better. Turn it on so we'll get nice and toasty. Okay, I'm gonna dip me out some. I wanna get this out of the oven. You know, it looks so good. Nice and toasty and everything. Like I like it. Potatoes on the plate.  That's some good eat, y'all.


Question is from Prime and Glory. What are your favorite ways to use a sled for your training and for training clients? Oh, Prime and Glory, good friend of mine. Okay, sled is a, in my opinion, for me at least, was a game-changing piece of equipment that I didn't utilize until much later. I didn't understand its value until much later. Mainly because the gyms and stuff that I worked in didn't have sleds. Sleds require some kind of a space that you can drag them across, either fake grass or bring them outside. So I just wasn't exposed to a lot of them. But once I started using them later on, and once I started using them on my clients, holy cow, the performance benefits that they would gain. Part of it, I think, has to do with the fact that it's so functional. You're pulling or pushing something and moving through space kind of in a similar way that you would in real life. The other part, I think, is that- Your body knows how to do that well. Yes. Already. And I think that that's something that differentiates, like having to learn the skill of a squat, for instance. Like that takes some time for people to really build and develop that skill, where this is something that's almost immediate. And so if I had anybody with any kind of knee issue or anything that was a little bit where it inhibited their performance on the squat, that was another great alternative for me to then still build up leg strength and drive simultaneously while we worked on the skill of the squat. Oh yeah, you could have most people, unless you're dealing with someone who's very, very deconditioned or really bad issues, most people can push a really light squat, a really light sled. Like you could get the average person and say, okay, you can't squat yet, your lunges, we gotta be very careful, you're still not, but I can have you hold these handles and just push this sled here for 15 feet and then that's your exercise. And the strength gains that people would get were exceptional. I know Joe DeFranco was, he showed how the sled improved athletic performance, heavy sled drags, which now is a staple with athletic training.  I love knee extension, so I like actually pulling the sled. Focusing on the quads? Yeah, and focusing on the quads, where I sit down like a chair, like 90 degrees, and then I'm actually doing knee extension walking back. It's, to me, I would way rather do that. If I have a place to do sled drags, and I was even thinking about doing leg extensions on a machine, I'll be doing sled drags. Plus, I love the cardio benefits that you get from this way of strength training, too. Like, of course it's great and it's functional, it's great for building strength, it's great for athletic performance, and then it's also great for the cardiovascular endurance, too, your heart gets pumping when you push that sled. Well, earlier you mentioned lateral sled drives. That was like a staple for me, it was just because of the fact that, moving laterally to begin with is just not a whole lot of exercises that you can pull from, it's like a small category. And so this was one of them where, again, it's functional, like you intuitively sort of can know how to move sideways while something is, you're dragging behind you. And then improving on that helps then to then give you more stability whenever you're just squatting with both feet. Yeah, I would say I noticed the most benefit from lateral, like karaoke's or lateral pulling. Basically, okay, so lateral pulling basically means I have something attached to my waist, or I'm holding something with my upper body, and I'm pulling- It's kind of a harness. Yeah, and I'm pulling the sled, but I'm walking sideways.  Well, it's crossing in front, which is what I like to do, and then step sideways. That one right there is one of my favorites. Now the one that I like the most, because it's the most fun, are explosive sled pulls. I like to get a long strap. I like to sit down in a squat, stand up, and yank a heavy, as hard as I can. And that's just because when I did judo as a kid and jiu-jitsu, that ability to pull into you is really important. Well, think about that for power, you know? And like, I mean, using rows for strength is great, but now how do you make that more explosive? That's a great way to make that great exercise more explosive. Yeah, I would say if you own a home gym, of course, most important barbells, dumbbells, a rack, an adjustable bench, the next piece of equipment that I would say that would be a valuable investment would be a sled, you know, especially when you could push outside. I think that that should be a staple on a lot of well put together home gyms.

A non-governmental organization has commenced a training session for those described as community defendants against gender-based violence in our Damawa state. The two-day training is aimed at mobilizing men as advocates in promoting gender equity at the program coordinator. Amina Mohammed mentioned that the training would identify and discuss the high prevalence of violence against women and girls, as well as strategize in the response to search cases. A tremendous shift and change in the behavior and norms and practices of the people of the community because at times when they are when they are carrying out some of these activities they weren't aware that these things were offenses or they were harmful practices that should be refined from being carried out but with the awareness and sensitization that we've been conducting people there is a certain shift in the minds of the people that some of these things are wrong and then they have to be done away with this part that there are cultural things that they've been brought up believing that these things were right. Contribute a lot. We are together with them in the grass. We know how they contribute. Especially our wood health. They contribute a lot. All those can only tackle this issue by more and more sensitization. But as a result sensitizing the community to know what gender-based violence is, the process of gender-based violence and if it happens where to seek for a redress and also to also stand for their rights at any time. When they work and seek for these leaders they should do much follow-up on that to make sure that they have a better work they want as in they have a better justice. The project is supported by the European Union, the United Nations, in partnership with the federal government of Nigeria. Wide-region topics were lined up for the training to include ensuring access to justice for victims of gender-based violence, communications and advocacy strategies for engagement towards a prevention, intervention and action on ending violence against women and girls.

Thank you all very much, and let me get right to the business at hand. Excellence in education is a key to the health and well-being of society. That's why when I came into office in 1981, I brought a mandate from the American people to turn over a new leaf in education, to rededicate ourselves to the highest standards of achievement and excellence in our nation's schools. For the last eight years, we've made much progress. And working together with Congress, state and local governments, parents, teachers, charitable, religious and community organizations, and business, we have begun to turn back what our Education Commission five years ago called a rising tide of mediocrity that threatens our very future as a nation and a people. We've taken a firm and uncompromising stand against drugs in our nation's schools. We've encouraged a return to basics and common sense in primary and secondary education. And we have shifted authority away from distant federal bureaucracies and returned it to parents, principals, and school boards. As Secretary Bennett's report this week makes clear, much remains to be done. We remain, as that earlier commission said, a nation at risk. But today, more than ever before, the American people, the federal government, and the states are working together and not at cross purposes. We all have come to realize what is at stake, our standard of living, the cohesiveness and unity of our society, our moral standards, and in short, our future. The legislation that I'll sign today is a product of that common purpose. HR5, the Augustus F. Hawkins Robert T. Stafford Elementary and Secondary School Amendments of 1988, reauthorizes and improves a wide variety of federal programs at the elementary and secondary school level. At the same time, it recognizes a fundamental truth that the primary responsibility for educating these children lies with the local communities and the states and not with the federal government. The School Improvement Act will further this important but supplementary role of the federal government in elementary and secondary education. It'll extend programs for the disadvantaged and other students with special needs, stimulate education, innovation, and reform, enhance local control and flexibility, improve program accountability, and focus program benefits on those with the greatest need. I'm pleased to note that the bill reauthorizes the magnet school program and expands parental choice. I'm also pleased to see that the bill amends the Bilingual Education Act in ways that provide greater flexibility to local school districts in the selection of instructional approaches. This administration has struggled for several years to amend federal bilingual requirements so that we may more effectively teach students English. I'm also pleased that the bill enhances parental involvement in programs for disadvantaged children. Parents are, after all, our first and most important teachers. These central features at the bill echo the themes that the Vice President, Secretary Bennett, and I have been sounding, and I'm pleased that they received overwhelming bipartisan support in both the House and the Senate. From the beginning, we worked with Congress, educators, and interested members of the public to ensure legislation that would improve basic education for America's youth. I want to commend the members of Congress who are here today for their leadership in guiding this bill through the Congress. I want to note that this bill renames the guaranteed student loan program after Bob Stafford. Bob has had a major influence on federal education policy for many years, and I commend him on his distinguished career. I urge the Congress to focus in the appropriations process on the existing successful programs that this bill reauthorizes. It is these current programs that offer the greatest promise of educational opportunity and educational excellence to our nation's children. HR5 also contains provisions making dial-up-horn services a criminal misdemeanor. I commend Congress for joining the administration's long-standing efforts to combat hard-core obscenity. I am bound to note, however, as much as it displeases me that current Supreme Court jurisprudence is unfriendly to parts of this bill. I hope that the courts and the Congress will work with the administration to do as much as is permitted by the Constitution to enforce the provisions of this statute. On balance, HR5 is a solid achievement, one that deserves to be signed, which I am about to do right now. Good to see you. Now, I'm going to do what the little 11-year-old girl told me to do in a letter that she wrote to me when I first reported here for duty. She told me all the things I was going to have to deal with, and then said, now get over to the old office and go to work.
