@@paulettagyurik2644 yes! We can fit 50 Roma tomatoes in two - 1 quart jars. It allows us to store so much in a compact space. Best investment we made was our freeze dryer for long term food storage

@@kjohn4330 That’s a great tip for other people who need to substitute chickpeas. Very creative! We have an almond tree and this is our first year with nuts so I may have to try this. Thank you for sharing!

@@hollyjollyjunk7616 you’re going to love it! Just used ours to steam juice our elderberries. Thank you for sharing!

@@msherry5 welcome to our RUclips family! Thank you 😊

@@hulabiker21 I would recommend finding a flat rock, but I live in New England and there are rocks everywhere here. Not everyone has that convenience. Next, I’d suggest scraping the ground down to dirt as that won’t burn and when you’re done, you can cover the spot over leaving no trace. These little stoves do get very hot. Thank you for watching!

@@KeepingItRielwithMarilynSteve I had a thought, you could just rest it on an upside down frying pan if that’s part of your kit. We have a lot of moorland round here so even the ‘dirt’ is combustible. But then there’s always some rocks in the moorland (there are dry stone walls as field boundaries) so maybe I’ll just stick with a rock on moorland. Thanks for the video, I might make this more robust version for my husband on his allotment…he tends to break delicate things!

@@hulabiker21 Robust and made from old cans… always a good choice for those of us that play rough with our equipment. 😁 The upside down frying pan is a great idea if you’re already carrying it and not using it for cooking.

@@myaccount2825 Ouch!!! That’s a big horse to fall from. If the bolted lettuce is typical domesticated lettuce (Iceberg, Romaine, Arugula…), unfortunately no it will not work. The medicine is only found in wild lettuce (Lactuca virosa). I hope it works for your pain and that you get well soon.

@@ildiko1vt It’s easier to buy pain meds at the store but this is an alternative to big pharma. It does take a little work but I know exactly what’s in it and it helps me be more self reliant. It helps with migraines and helps to fall asleep when having a migraine.

@@ildiko1vt It’s always good to know what plants are common in your area that can be used for either food or medicine or in this case, both. Thank you for watching!

@@asc3998 welcome to our RUclips family! Stay tuned for a short showing the syrup 😊

I just posted the short showing two different thicknesses from that batch (Using up the last jars of what we made back then). The difference in thickness is based on how long you let it process down. I hope this answers your question :)

@@KeepingItRielwithMarilynSteve I just watched it, thank you so much!

You're welcome, thanks for asking the question!

@@lisaabate3574 You know how I love my cheese & mayonnaise sandwiches! YUM 😋

@@KeepingItRielwithMarilynSteve you’re killing me!

The standard canning lids we used in the video work well and will seal with an oxygen absorber if you intend to store the jar long term. We often store our long-term product in mylar bags as it also keeps the light out. Thank you for watching!

@@MicheleMcVey-up9nt Hahaha - YOU ARE GOOD! 1 Congo African grey and 2 Goffin’s cockatoos.

@@CynthiaOpperman I’m glad the video helped. As far as osteoporosis goes, wild lettuce tincture may help with pain but will not help with the disease itself (brittle bones). Thank you so much for sharing!

@@lolitabonita08 I usually use an extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice but wanted to show that anyone can make this with common kitchen ingredients. So easy! 😊

@@lolitabonita08 Definitely better than store bought mayonnaise.

@@KeepingItRielwithMarilynSteve thank u for showing us this new way..(old>?) there is more than one way to skin a chicken...

@@rebeccabertoldi definitely! Let us all know how it turns out. Olive oil does tend to change the flavor but maybe an infused grape seed oil would be an option 😁

@@belindadunne4312 That sounds delicious!

garlic give the mayo a kick..so good..

@@Deacon_T Thank you! There’s lots of veggies that can be dried and powdered like garlic, hot pepper, celery… we make most of our own seasonings. Thank you for watching!

@@chaoticcow4357 that was my Dad’s favorite way to eat them. We didn’t buy sweets like candy so this was my Mom’s sweet treat for us kids as we always had tons of garden tomatoes.

@@whiskeycook3323 We don’t make kefir ourselves but I heard the probiotics are through the roof. Thank you sharing!

@@baby-turtle Does that actually work? I know you can medicinally smoke Mullen for coughs but have never heard about smoking wild lettuce.

@@sheilafelton9957 They are!!! Yum!

@@lolitabonita08 I’ll have to look into that. Thanks for the info. The Mission brand tortillas are labeled as GMO free. They have a strict process to ensure that all ingredients are non-GMO by checking with their suppliers.

@@KeepingItRielwithMarilynSteve it is incredible how our food is poison...even the can soups, the tuna (half is soy paste), bread even the ice cream...anything with soy i do not buy, nothing with oils that are not coconut oil, peanut oil, olive oil or avocado oil. I will chech the mission brand...i like to eat tortillas sometimes (no good for my waist lol)...and buy that brand. Blessings.

I'm not sure why. Click on the "3 replies", "16 replies"... link at the bottom or the comment and it should expand to show the replies. We try to reply to every comment so there should be at least a "1 reply" link to click on. Good luck and thanks for watching!

@@quinntheeskimooutdoors6234 Thanks Quinn!

If you have severe latex allergies, we'd recommend avoiding it but you can also check with your doctor regarding this. The latex in wild lettuce is called Lactucarium. That may help with your research but from what I found on the web: "The “latex” in wild lettuce is not the same as the “latex” in gloves that is commonly associated with latex allergies. Latex allergy typically stems from an allergy to the proteins of the Hevea (rubber tree) plant (which are not present in wild lettuce) or chemicals used in the processing of Hevea latex." Thank you for watching!

Great question! If you take a look at the ingredients, both the Arm & Hammer Washing Soda and the Borax are household cleaners for dishes, counters, etc. as well as for laundry. The only item listed specifically as a laundry soap, stain remover is the Fels Naptha. It will work to clean your dishes (I wouldn't use it in a dish washer) but it does NOT create a foam or suds which most people are accustomed to in their dish detergent. It does a good job cleaning pots and pans but again it can be disconcerting for some that there are no suds and I would make sure to thoroughly rinse your dishes because there are no sudsy remains to show how well rinsed an item is. Thank you for watching and leaving us a comment!

I've been doing this for years and have no scratches on my glass at all. The big thing for me was getting away from the chemicals that are in the store options with some even having a warning that it can burn your skin or cause cancer. It's also a free option as if you burn wood you end up with ash you normally dispose of and I can use the newspaper from the flyers that come in the mail.

We love being able to make it to our own taste and have a variety of flavors on the pantry shelf. There are so many variations possible and so many uses it's a must have for us. Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to leave us a comment!!

@@goldenrules3763 Good question. Meat substitute and extenders, especially during the depression were more than just fillers that kind of look and taste like real meat. They did put some thought into the ingredients they used and more importantly, what they had available. Oatmeal is high in iron and B6 and has a decent amount of protein and calories. Egg are packed with protein and also have some vitamin and mineral content. The rest of the ingredients are more for flavor but depending on the herbs used, there is also some health benefits there. Thanks for this question and thank you for watching!

@@hgw90026 great tip! Thanks for sharing and for watching!

You can leave the needles in if you choose to, I separate them out as I prefer to just use the pine tips as they don't poke out of my tea ball. :) Thank you for watching!!

Young wild lettuce leaves can be eaten as food and mature wild lettuce can be made into a medicine for pain.

Definitely a savings making it yourself :) With today's prices around the world going up every thing we can do to save money and know what is in our foods is a good thing. Thank you so much for watching!

@@newgabe09 That’s a good question. I was unaware that the currency of Cambodia was called riel. Riel is actually our last name. It is French Canadian in origin. As far as a Cambodian connection… not the we’re aware of but you never know. Thank you for sharing!

I suppose you could but it wouldn't have much flavor. Traditionally an aromatic and strong flavored green is used, like basil or even garlic mustard... Wild lettuce has very little flavor until it gets older. Even then, it has a bitter flavor.

You can just jar the greens with alcohol to make a tincture but it wouldn’t be as effective. Similar to steeping tea, dried leaves release the compounds (lactucin and lactucopicrin in this case) into the alcohol better than green leaves.

@@destinyandpurpose Yeah, the ketchup didn’t do so well but the others are very handy. No refrigeration needed and you just rehydrate what you need. 👍 Thank you for watching!

The baby was so beautiful I had to share :)

Thanks and thank you for watching!!

@@Mike-nk3su We love that stove too. We put our old one in our outdoor summer kitchen so as not to heat the house up. In the winter though, the Nordica cook stove is how we heat the whole cabin. We have to process a lot of cordwood but it’s worth it. Free heat and the stove / oven are always going. Thank you for watching!

Curd and yogurt are created differently they have a different bacteria strain used in their production. This may account for the difference in consistency. I'm not sure what that difference your seeing is... grainy, lumpy, watery...? Thank you for the question, no one else has asked this. Thank you for watching!

@@TexasNan You sure can. The younger leaves taste good, the older leaves are very bitter. It is lettuce and can be used like any greens bought at the grocer. If you are trying to use it for pain relief, eating it won’t give pain relieving benefits. For pain relief, a tincture has to be made to concentrate the active compounds. Thank you for watching!

@@francesmaurer185 Thank you so much for watching!

@@rOymOnd421 If you have any concerns, especially life threatening, I would suggest consulting your doctor before using any type of self medication.

@@shirleytruett7319 That’s great to know. I’ll definitely have to look into that. Thank you so much for the tip and for watching!
