Mary Risley Swears Some More on YouTube

“Young people really listen to you if you say ‘fuck.’”

Beloved and profane local cooking instructor Mary Risley, of Tante Marie’s Cooking School, is capitalizing on the viral popularity of her Thanksgiving YouTube effort, titled “Just Put the F**king Turkey in the Oven,” and today she returns with a new holiday-themed video called “Just Pound the Peppercorns.” This of course doesn’t have the same nice ring to it, but it nonetheless features some of her signature, no-fuss advice for cooking a steak au poivre dinner to treat yourself during the holidays.

“Young people really listen to you if you say ‘fuck.’”

She opens by relaying this tale: “Last night I was in a restaurant, and everybody in the restaurant had seen me in my last video on turkey … EVERYBODY. And people kept walking buy going ‘Are you the fucking turkey lady?’ and I said ‘Yeah I am.’ … Young people really listen to you if you say ’fuck.’”
