Ahhh! my sweet Sunday pleasure. Beautiful music, lovely company and my favorite life coach. If you only knew how much I look forward to all your adventures and how you have inspired me to be my best self you would understand why I love 💕 Sunday. That dinner was a heritage moment. Thank you so much for the experience. See you next week! Your friend needs a fedora and some 😎 sunglasses. 😂
Awwww it really means so much to hear that! Sundays are my days to catch up on all of my favorite TH-camrs! Knowing that there are people out there that look forward to my videos is just a dream. Thank you!!! 😘
This was (dare I say) my favorite pop-up dinner of all time. It was Gabrielle's storytelling and warmth that took it over the top. She made us feel like we were sitting in her personal kitchen. My favorite line: ' I hope it feels like a hug from your grandma'. Yes, it did.
Love the Halloween scape! I use to be all about...When the kids were growing up! I use to dress up too! LOL...It use to be so much fun! Waiting for the spiders!!!
Brought tears to my eyes. Many of us here in the North don’t have any “home” or traditions left in the south. This was so amazing to see. Thank you for bringing us along❤
Awwwww. It actually made me emotional as well. I have a close family, but nothing like the connections she has all the way back to her great grandfather. And to know they all lived on the same land was just really really beautiful. Such a special evening!
Thanks Jessica, I can't tell you how much I love these vlogs, taking us into these events , shopping, travel etc! Everything looks so good and looks like a very nice time.
Thank you Sharon - I so appreciate that and am happy that you are enjoying videos. I love creating them so much so it brings me joy knowing that enjoy watching them. I have some really great content coming up over the next several months so get ready!!! 😆
I can't get enough! Every minute of content is elaborate. I want to mention how much I love my pottery. Another beautiful piece to add to my collection. I'm wishing you an early happy birthday and all the joy and blessings you so greatly deserve.
Wow, just wow! What a gorgeous event with gorgeous food and gorgeous people. Loved your hat, Jessica! I am a foodie with a deep love and appreciation for historical dishes. (My fave is Creole). I hail from a lineage of Pennsylvania farmers, and it brought tears to my eyes to hear Gabrielle speak of her family and their contributions to her life and to the dinner. Btw, your front porch was a lot of fun! Your skeleton buddy must've had a pretty rough life bc he looks a little too happy to be dead 🤣 Fall Blessings to All 🙏❤🧡💛
Wasn’t it beautiful?! My favorite parts of the evening were hearing her talk about her family and how they inspired each dish that we were served that evening. I wanted to make sure that those stories were shared here in this video. Everything felt so personal - it really was magical! Hahahahaha about the skeleton / that is hilarious!!!! And yes he must have. 😂😂😂 Thank you so much for watching - im so happy that you enjoyed the episode! 💕
What a beautiful dinner so full of heartwarming family history that inspired her “soul food”. Loved how intentional everything was down to the bonfire. And you and Roz looked great. I spied what looked like a pumpkin spice pod. I love my nespresso. Your outdoor fall decor turned out great. Enjoy your birthday!
Thank you!!!!! That is the perfect word - intentional. Every single decision was intentional and that’s what I loved so much about it. Just a beautiful soulful experience. Thank you for the birthday wishes!! 😘
You are an adventurous diner! Gabrielle Eitienne's explanations and reminiscences, before each course, were magical. Your ticket-purchasing technique is very similar to my e-bay bidding technique. Glad it worked Looks like you had a wonderful time. The bonfire intentions leaves were wonderful. The autumn decor looks great but I have to say, I held my breath when you were lighting the candles on the hay!😁 Have a very Happy Birthday and enjoy your trip!!
Hahahaha that used to be my eBay technique as well! But yes I am SO happy to have scored tickets. It was definitely a special and very personal event. I loved every second of it and so glad you enjoyed it. I do like to try at least everything once so that’s allows me to be quite adventurous when it comes to food! 😆
I’m still thinking about this dinner - it was truly such a special evening! I loved that all of the food was sourced by local Black farmers - that just made the event even more amazing. I so hope I can grab tickets again next year!
It was wonderful having you take us along this beautiful dinner. I would love to go to one. The experience and memories alone is worth it. Congrats on getting a ticket. Loving the fall decor and anxious for what's to come for Halloween. You should create a Spotify of all the music you add to your videos. It's such a vibe!!!
That is such a great idea to create a Spotify playlist of all of the music I include. I will definitely do that!!! 😆 So glad you enjoyed the video - I would LOVE for you to come with me to a dinner one day!!!
First off I Loved your outfit for your dinner and the food looked amazing! How cool that they did s’mores! Also I need you to come decorate my front porch like you did yalls!
Absolutely loved this video!!!! The dinner was magnificent in all aspects! It looked beautiful and I’m sure was delicious! What a beautiful setting! I can’t express how gorgeous this was! -And your decorating!!!!!! It was fun to see how you put it all together! That painted pumpkin was awesome ! Good job!!! The only thing I’m missing in these videos are the artist of the music you play. Please consider sending us that missing part! Great job,Jessica! Loving these so much!
It truly was magical - I can still taste the food, it was that good! I’m just so lucky to have gotten a seat at the table! And thank you!!! I love how the porch turned out and am loooooving the pumpkin - so thank YOU!!! 😘
Oh! And I promise moving forward I will list all of the music I used. So happy to hear that people are loving it - it’s my favorite part of creating the videos!!!
Jessica, I just made the time to FINALLY sit and enjoy this video! As usual...it did not disappoint! So many elements of this specific video highlight my childhood and certainly parallel Gabrielle's up bringing! My grandmother had 240 acres in Arkansas, we still have 140 acres left. On that property is a hand made lake which my family still uses to this day. It's filled with perch, specs, catfish and what the call croppies. Now the way I learned to eat fish was to tear out the back fin then you can open the fish and eat the white meaty part on the sides which, is enough for me...but some folks eat the fins and bones! LOL too much for me! My grandmother had a muscadine on the side of her house and we use to climb it and eat the little grape like fruit until we were sick! LOL Now, The chicken and "dumplings" aka macaroni is exactly how I cook y chicken and dumplings! I know you said you may have tasted a hint of dill...I don't use dill but I cook chicken and dumplings very much as was shown there. That was certainly a fun visit!
Reading your comments each week makes me wish we could just sit more with a cocktail or 3 talking about life. You’ve lead such an interesting life, with what seems to be amazing experiences and I would love to hear all of your stories. I wish I knew more of my families heritage - listening to her that evening made me realize that I need to do some research. Thank you as always for watching - im so glad you enjoyed it! PS. I would LOVE to try your dumplings!!! 😋
@@jessicapayne Depending on whether we see you first in NC or we stumble upon you in Elyria I will personally make you some dumplings! Easy as all get out! You'll be like "WHAT" that's it! it's a good fall/winter dish! Jessica, I often shelve memories once it's off my Blossom List! And then when you are sharing your journeys and experiences I go, Oh yeah...I remember doing this or that...And it truly brings me JOY! I hope you will continue with a Well-Lived Life! Heading to California for the winter...Gonna hang out with Elease in London for her birthday in January!

Good morning Jessica, I love all of the videos that you show us. Listen, I noticed a ring you were wearing, are you Aquarius, because I am Aquarius. And also, where do you get your 🎶 music from on your videos.
Thank you Joann!!! I’m so happy that you are enjoying the videos. I put so much love and thought into each one so it makes me happy they are being received as I intended! 😘 My birthday is October 8th, so I’m a Libra - to the core, lol!!! I get my music from Artlist and Epidemic!!
