The insanely talented musician Jon Batiste is coming to spend the day at the barn with me, and I understand he likes peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
So I thought, "Wouldn't it be great to make peanut butter and jelly bars for him?" So this is what I've done.
Basically what I'm doing is I'm making a shortbread with lots of peanut butter in it.
Okay, so that's the eggs, and now I'm gonna add two cups of smooth peanut butter.
So three cups of flour, all-purpose flour, one teaspoon of baking powder, and one and a half teaspoons of salt.
Okay, I'm just gonna sift these together, and while I sift them, let me tell you about Jon Batiste.
[upbeat music] Jon Batiste is an incredible composer, singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and band leader.
Born in Louisiana, when he was just eight years old he played drums in his family's legendary Batiste Brothers Band before switching to piano and then going on to study jazz and classical music at Julliard.
He formed his band Stay Human, famous for their impromptu street performances called Love Riots, who became Stephen Colbert's much-loved house band on The Late Show.
Jon is famous for his unique mix of classical, jazz, and modern music styles, and has written and performed a symphony documented into the film American Symphony.
He's recorded chart-topping albums, and he has won many prestigious awards, including an Oscar, an Emmy, a Golden Globe, and seven Grammys.
They've known each other since they were teenagers, and Jon's been at her side throughout her long battle with cancer.
Jon's done so much, from acting, performing at the Super Bowl, and receiving honorary degrees.
