Golden Girls Livestream This Sunday the 30th at 6:00 PM EST!

It's time to break out the cheesecake, fluff your hair into a cotton ball and come relax with me out on the lanai!

This coming Sunday we are remembering Betty White, while we catch up on everything that has been going on (and there has been a lot) and watch two of my favorite Golden Girls episodes together!

First episode will be 'Isn't It Romantic?' Season 2 Episode 5

Second Episode is 'The Case of the Libertine Belle' Season 7 Episode 2

For copyright reasons, you won't hear or see the show from my end, so you'll want to set it up on either your computer or TV separately and I'll just tell you where to start it once we get going!

This month's project episode is coming before the end of the month... I had a minor eye surgery a couple weeks ago (which went well) and the recovery was more exciting than I had anticipated.

I'm so jazzed to watch these episode with you and share some really fun things this Sunday :D

1980's pajama wear is encouraged and I will leave the link to the plant based cheesecake I'm going to try below... (I really love the SoDelicious brand cream cheese, so I'm going to try that and I'll also be making a raspberry sauce for mine)

Love Golden Girls and Betty White in the Mary Tyler Moore Show as Sue Ann. Highly recommend watching it!

Brooke Redmond

I’ve also been sick with covid! I hope you feel better soon. Mine was 3 weeks!!! Finally on the mend but still very little energy and still congested.

Kelly (Nellas)

Hi from England 🥰 going to be having a go at the cheesecake, my usual recipe was a flop Christmas when I tried to convert it to plant based 😂 xx

Linda

Today is the day!!!!!

Alyse Kiyuna

She posted a link to a vegan cheesecake above, just under her name

Brenda Karnes

Any recommendations for a good vegan cheesecake or cheesecake recipe?

Andie C

I absolutely LOVE that movie! When I watched it for the first time as an adult, I was pretty taken aback by how handsome Liam Neeson is in it!

Christine McConnell

This made me audibly laugh :D

Christine McConnell

Christine, have you ever seen the movie High Spirits? It's a bit ridiculous, but I think you might enjoy it. It's about a haunted castle. I loved it as a kid and I still do!

Buggie

I’ll be having an ice cream clown with a sugar cone hat!

Jordan Nuckels

Picking up some cheesecake for the occasion!

Aimee G

EDIT, DAMN JOB 😔WONT BE ATTENDING...NEVER GET TOO! .... I'm so excited!!!! Too bad I had to get Covid to be able to attend a live party but I'm excited none the same!!!!

Brandy Gunter

Feels really good to be back on your patreon after having to step away for awhile due to life changing events with my Mom last July. 🕊 I definitely can’t wait to get caught back up and looking forward to any upcoming projects. 🤗 I’m glad your minor eye surgery was successful and you’re doing well, Christine ❤️ Have a wonderful week and thank you for all you do and for always being an inspiration 💫

Paulette Mickle

Tuning in from Queens! 😆

Rez NYC

I have the perfect silk pj's for this!! Well... "silken" 😄

Brieann Chapple

I’m so glad the procedure turned out excitingly! ♥️

Gypsy426

So excited to see what the wallpaper will look like in this month’s episode!

Tracy

So glad to hear your eye surgery went well! How long was your recovery time, or are you still recovering? I won't be able to watch the live stream, but I'm looking forward to watching it the next day. I look forward to these episodes every month! I wish there was some way to have a link to a community space to post pics of the patrons submitting photos of: PJs they are wearing for the live stream and/or food, tea, popcorn they have made for it. It would be fun to check out before the live stream started. I've also always wanted to see what others have created with the tutorials. I bet some amazing, interesting things have been made through those.

Deb McGrath

Omg I have the BEST old lady pjs for this 🙌 I can’t wait

Ashley Lucero

Awww, I can’t wait!! This will be so cozy and fun!

Maggie Walsh

YAYYY hoorayyy your eye surgery went well (insert Kermit the frog spastic celebratory flailing)! You, the captive and family must be SO very relieved. When my husband had two major surgeries I was a complete hot mess and was the most smothering nurse ever LOL. Hopefully you're being kind with yourself during the recovery process. I'm so looking forward to the live stream. I need some Rose Nylund in my life! BTW So Delicious vegan ice creams are phenomenal and some of their flavors are gluten free! The Peanut butter brownie cashew milk ice cream is dangerously good as is the chocolate cookies and cream! :)

Jenny McKinsey

So glad your eye surgery went well. I'm going to figure out the time and hopefully I can watch this along with you. I cried when I heard the gorgeous Miss White passed away 💔I had just rewatched Lake Placid and then she was gone!! ❤️❤️

Liana Palumbo

YAY! Can't wait to watch with you. Glad your eye surgery went well and that you don't have to wear an eye patch! Although you could totally rock an eye patch. I imagine you'd look a lot like 'Elle Driver' from "Kill Bill"! 🤩

Amanda Upchurch

Looking forward to it!

VStreet

So exciting, this will be such a wonderful way to honour our girls being together again 💜

Lauren Elizabeth Burns

Sounds fun! I love the Golden Girls. I'll have to watch it later though. It would be great if you could do a live stream on a Saturday, occasionally. 6pm on a Sunday in NY is 10am on a Monday in SYD, AUS. I'll be at work. :)

Carla Morgan

Oooo I can't wait for this! I hope your eye is doing alright!

Christina Rodriguez

Always look forward to your live streams. Cheesecake? My favorite! And who doesn't want to get comfy in some 80's pjs. I can relive my college years. lol

Leslie Langenegger

Such a fun idea for a livestream!! So excited! I'll have my cheesecake and Blanche-esque nightgown ready

Amanda Nikolov

For those watching from Germany: All 7 seasons are on Disney+

Tim van den Berg

Glad you're healed up!

Katie Kelley

If you have Hulu, all episodes are on there

Allison Zatarain

Where can I get the episodes?

Honey Do

This will be the first time I watch your live, I'm very excited! 😻

Maria L.

Can’t wait!

Christina

SO EXCITED!

Emily Schwall

'The Case of the Libertine Belle' is one of my favorites too! I'll be tuning in from Brooklyn. Thank you for proving that the COOLEST people love Golden Girls. HOT TIP: if you need more of a fix, you can stream "Hot in Cleveland" on Paramount+ (I go via Amazon Prime channel) and it's Betty White in the sassy Sophia role. SO GOOD. Amazing what a few decades can do with 50-something lady fashion.

Allison Zatarain

Oh what a wonderful way to celebrate Betty and those amazing women 💗 I am glad your surgery went well and excited to hear all of your news!

Deborah Wiltshire Whaley

I’m so excited for this! Also thought I’d share my homemade cheesecake recipe (non-vegan) for those that eat dairy. This is the recipe I use for catering. Serves up to 16 guests or 2 people if you like a lot of it 😁 Elderberry House Cheesecake Pie Crust 6 tbsp Salted Butter 1 1/2 Cups Ground Graham Crackers (Roughly 2 packets) 2 tbsp Granulated Sugar In a food processor break up graham crackers and pulse until finely ground. Add sugar and pulse again, then cut in the butter in small cubes. Pulse until combined. Press into a springform Pan and bake for 15-18 minutes at 325° until golden brown. Remove from oven and cool for 15 minutes. Add a large layer of heavy duty aluminum foil to cover the bottom and edges of the springform pan to prevent water from seeping into the crust. You can take two pieces of tin foil to make a seam together in the center and folded 3-4 times to make it water tight. Filling 2 lbs (4 packs) Cream Cheese (Softened) 1 1/4 Cup Sugar 1 1/4 Cup Sour Cream 6 Large Eggs 1 tbsp Vanilla Extract In a stand mixer, add room temp softened cream cheese and the sour cream and mix on medium high until light and fluffy. Add in the sugar and mix well to incorporate. Add the eggs one at a time on medium to low speed then the vanilla. We sure to scrape the bowl with a spatula to combine all ingredients. Pour into the springform pan. Gentle tap the pan on a counter to remove as many air bubbles as possible. You can also run a toothpick through the mixture to remove excess bubbles at the top to prevent cracking. For the water bath, boil a large pot of water. Use a large roasting pan and set the springform pan in the center. Add enough hot boiling water to come up at least halfway to the top of the pan, careful not get water in the cheesecake. Slowly push the oven rack back in. Bake for 1 hr and 10 minutes @ 325° Turn oven off and leave cheesecake for an additional hour to cook in residual heat. Remove from oven and sit at room temp for 2 hrs then cover with plastic wrap and chill overnight or 8 hours minimum.

My roommate and I have been bingeing this for weeks now. We always miss the livestreams, so we'll have to set a reminder!

Suzanne Weiner

Sooo excited for this! I recently had a full historectomay and it was much more recovery time and pain then expected. I have been watching Golden Girls none stop. It's my comfort show and I have so meny wonderful memories attached to it. From watching it with my grandmother while she would sit and crochet, to watching it with my best friend while we had tea and cookies to relax from the pressers of adulthood. I will not be missing this!

Ann Baker

Thank you for being our friend Christine!

Rez NYC

Looking forward to it :D Glad to hear you're recovering well <3
