I Tried Cooking: 17th Century Style (and i sweat a. LOT.)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 июн 2024
- If you've ever wondered: Gee, I wonder if people were hot whilst cooking by a crackling hearth in 4 layers? The answer is YESSIR.
ANYWHO for this video I wanted to do something a little bit different hehehe. I am always so eager to learn history through actually DOING vs reading or listening, so I ventured (with the help of the crew over at Plimoth Patuxet Museum) to learn about different cooking customs of 17th century New England. With their guidance, I learned about Wompanoag cooking and also the English, which is what this video is!
As you watch, know that there were beads of sweat present the ENTIRE time, and enjoy.
LOVE YOU BYE

The woman teaching her how to cook is so sweet. She's looking at her like have you ever even seen a kitchen?
But what is that accent?? I'm British and it seems like she's mashing up every accent from Ireland to Scotland to Scandinavia
@@hannahdoubleyou9961 it's probably a colonial accent which if you think about it, would make sense that it's a mix of irish, english, scottish, and scandinavian considering thats who moved here to the states originally. also since we don't 100% know what the colonial accent would be mixing those together is the best we got.
@@emosasukelover222 Like a Scotch Irish accent?
@@hannahdoubleyou9961linguists are actually able to determine (pretty) accurately what language of the 1600s would have sounded like through things like rhymes (specifically Shakespeare's work). It does sound like a weird amalgamation of many accents (Including a current New England accent, bc it came over and didn't change as much!) There are some great videos of actors performing Shakespeare in the "correct", which sounds wild; I definitely recommend!
@@beckmannm no one actually talked like in the Shakespeare pieces though. He completely just made up words lmao (which honestly, I stan)
But I suppose there's still something to gather from the rhymes 🤔
Petition for Rachel to do 80 more of these videos, and also for Rachel to recreate that lovely grey jacket she wore it was so beautiful
Yes! :D
Agreed!
Early American is an amazing channel that does this ❤
Where do I sign? ❤
I suspect the main reason the jacket looked so good was wearing proper historical underwear, not a bra, under it :)
This woman is giving it her all and staying in character, I stan her
Stan?
I used to go to the Plimoth Patuxet Museum very often as a kid. They always stayed in character.
She is a professional, and a queen of cookery
@@theclumsyprepperstan, like Eminem's song.
I fully believed that was her accent!! She played it so well! 👍👍👍
"Thou not expecting a loaf?" lmao that was fantastic. I feel like that woman knew you were digging her quips and played on it. She's awesome.
I feel like Rachel is a little tongue-tied for fear of messing up the historic vibe, so she has to put all her meme-y thoughts up on the screen in writing for us instead. I honestly love her introvert extra spice. They’re the pepper to my carrots 😂
i love this comment as much as i love peppered carrots.
yeah noticed that 😂❤
I was wondering if it was that or just the intense heat making her brain fuzzy. Whenever I get too hot I become way less talkative and my brain get confused about life…
@@luciemunne6322
Definitely. Happens to me, too. Heat and high humidity really do a number on me.
Boiled salad!! 😅❤❤
Yes! Finally someone depicts cooking as it really is: a lot of sweating.
it is SO MUCH SWEATING
No it's not.
sweating and swearing (:
Dishwashing too
🤣Especially over an open fire!
love that the actress realized you were into sniffing things and eventually just offered things for you to sniff lol
This video was such a cool experience but I find myself wishing the Wampanoag food culture video wasn't locked behind a paywall because that information seems very valuable to share to larger audiences. I just think that native cultures can be ignored and taken for granted in the mainstream so it'd have be nice to see. All love to Rachel and I know I would watch any video of her experiencing new things in olden times
+
I thought the patron stuff was just early access and the video is on a delayed release. It would be a pity if that's not the case
@@JM-wt4bf either way it feels a little strange for a white creator to be using a paywall and profiting off of indigenous culture. especially when it's directly regarding history. (I love Rachel and I don't think she's a bad person. I do think it's food for thought though.)
@@TheDisellyeah Rachel. Not a good look.
Yeahh indeed well said
The goodwife doing the teaching is an absolute gem❤ this is like a chaotic English Heritage episode 😂🎉
Can you imagine Rachel and Ms. Crocombe?! That would be a phenomenal video.
@@heatherhernandez4304 I'm thinking of having Rachel meet Townsends, instead, for an event like this.
Yes! She's so good!
@@TheSaneHatter either or both would be excellent!!
the accent is amazing, is it local or historical?
As someone who works in museum education this video was amazing!! I hope that you are able to more videos like this in the future! If you ever want to do a museum video in the southwest, I can help with that!
That would be so cool! I hope Rachel sees your comment
I love how hands on this was. I would love to do something like this, but not if I have to be filmed. I'm not the on stage talent type.
@@lajoyous1568 a lot of living history museums have programs like this! I know Colonial Williamsburg has a whole blacksmith course! I worked for the Musicial Instrument Museum for awhile and they have a whole room dedicated to Instrument that can be played
Yes GLAM love!
She could do a whole series of videos from just one museum. Possibilities are endless.
- Cathy (&, accidently, Steve), Ottawa/Bytown/Pimisi
All the anxiety giggles, sniffing everything, and sweating made this pure gold. 😅 So relatable.
Okay, but there is nothing more wholesome in the world than hearing the difference between the hearty voice of the lady in the kitchen and Rachel’s quiet little remarks like a kid in the biggest candy store in the world. Amazed, overwhelmed, and a little shy. 😂💖 WE LOVE HER
European me was just about to go to bed but naaaaah, WE GOT RACHEL 🎉
*high fives in European*
Nice.. same 👍
literally same!
🙌
Omg same 😂🌙
"thou not expecting a loaf?" I replayed this part so many times
i've never heard the term toothsome before but i love it
What the heck 😂 I've NEVER seen a comment from RUclips 😂 Love it lololol
@@mo0nstonegirl lmao theyre kinda like the Where's Waldo of RUclips; occasionally they show up under videos n make their presence known 😂 Seen 'em a few times
(... may actually be a testament to how often I watch videos but thats irrelevant lmao)
I absolutely loved this, I visited there with a friend once and it was so cool to step into a piece of history ❤ I do wish you had shown the Native American demonstration on the main channel as well, such beautiful representation deserves to be available to all.

I was an "informant" (costumed interpreter) at Plimoth Plantation around 1980. I immediately recognized the costume everything there was so familiar. I really loved that job.
how cool!
i went there for a school field trip in 3rd grade and it looks the same!
Hi!! 👋🏻 I was the graphic designer from 2016-2020!
I just want to say props to the interpreter. She stayed committed all throughout this madness 🤣
I know she mentioned there is a video of indigenous history/cooking on her Patreon. Will that ever be available on RUclips for her non-Patreon followers to view?
Rachel moving the coals to fry curds, makes me think of Claire from outlander, she gets frustrated with a modern stove and cooks dinner in the fireplace, and her guests comment on the wonderful smokey flavor……this was a fun video, thanks Rachel.
I know who Claire is.! I love her van the Mouse
I thought of the same thing!
I can't express how much I need Lucretia to follow me around and walk me through how to do things in life.
😂😂😂😂😂 same here, lol!!!
The pride that she shows whenever she is doing a small task or learning about it is so adorable. Her separating the eggs so gently is very heartwarming😂
This is giving me real "Grand lady from the big house visits with her tenants" vibes 😂
Looking forward to an eventual 18th century cooking Townsends collab! 🤞💕
Yes!!
Undercover boss: 17th century style
Lily Tupper is an absolute star, so intereating and engaging! What a brilliant museum experience!!
Does she have an Instagram account or something? 😊
@@OdaMariaютюб канал
Okay can I just say how I was thinking, "Oh wow! This vid looks so cool and historically accurate. Rachel's garb, and the homes at this museum are like walking into another time!" and then literally 0.5 seconds later cackling at the very fake fried chicken leg sitting on a random bench. Love it
i think that was a gourd 😅
@@n.i.n.a.oOMG I replayed it and you’re 100% right! 😂 I guess I’ve got fried chicken on the mind 🐔
@@rebeccaking9990you’re not the only one who mistook the gourd for the little plastic fried chicken legs that come with a kids cook set 😂
@@roxyortiz8819 Oh thank god I wasn't the only one! That plastic fried chicken leg (and plastic food set) is ingrained on my 90's childhood brain
I do 17th century reenactment in the UK.
It’s fascinating to see the difference between what food was going on over here and things like corn that we just don’t have in our recipes over here at the time.
Always love your videos. Absolutely love this one! 😁
How does one get involved in such things in UK? I’m asking for a friend and the friend is me 😅
@@AndersWatchesI was wondering that too
@AndersWatches Best way is to go to an event in your area and talk to the people there to see if their goals align with yours. If not, they can likely point you to other groups. There are some very large and organised societies (like the ECWS) that have a fixed calendar of big public events, but also some loose groups of living historians that meet up a few times a year at historical sites, even without public. Living history and reenactment are a spectrum. Think about what activities you want to do (military/cooking/crafts...), how much time/money you want to spend to be as 'historically accurate' as possible, how much public interaction you prefer, and how far you are willing to travel for events. It takes a bit of research and talking to people to find a match for what you want to put in and get out of the hobby.
It also can be good to start with your local chapter of the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA). There are some living history groups that are really strict on historical accuracy, but the SCA tends to be the most relaxed in terms of garb rules and all that, so you don't have to show up totally 100% perfectly authentically historically accurate right out the gates. You'll meet people to help you get your kit together and teach you new skills and everything.
Can we get a Native history video in RUclips at some point? Would love to see something like that! 😄✨
if you want Native history, try to find creators from the actual First Nations instead of from a non-Native person.
@@SmartPuff_ Yes, I fully agree. I want to priotize watching native creators, who teach and showcase native history. But I also would love to see a non-native to learn about native history and spread the information.
I would love if Rachel collaborated with an indigenous creator. or made the Patreon video public.
oh also V. Birchwood did a cool collaboration talking about indigenous dressmaking. if anyone's interested in that type of content.
adding other indigenous channels that are related/not related:
- indigikitchen
- NDND
- Micah Bisbee
- Patrick is a navajo
- Andrea tso
- Diana onco ingyadet
- jacobjamesvlogs
- Wii chiiwaakanak
@@TheDisell Thank you for sharing!!💚👏✨
I love this kind of video! :) But: Since you want to amplify indigenous voices, the best way to do that isn't behind a paywall. Let's see Melissa centered next time!
it feels really weird that it's on patreon like she's directly profiting from indigenous people, no donations of proceeds or anything
yeah I'm not indigenous but my daughter and partner are and this was really disappointing. I know she didn't intend for it to come across negatively but it does feel like a disservice.
I second this!! I hope Rachel sees this comment and the comments of others who have voiced a similar perspectives
+
I 100% agree with all of this, but also want to just add that Rachel does donate to the Wampanoag tribe every November and encourages her followers to as well. I don't think it was intentional at all, but hopefully she sees these comments and can make the video public and donate some of the Patreon income as well 🖤
The cooking instructor is such a lovely lady❤
I wish to encounter more people like her in my daily life.
I have absolutely no idea what her accent is however, It's like a smash between scottish, irish, northern english and trans atlantic.
@@sotetsotetsotetsotetsotet2379it's pure chaos 😂
@@sotetsotetsotetsotetsotet2379 it's very confusing lmao!! i think it would have been more immersive if she had used her regular accent
@@gingeelise There are a lot of unique accents in America, especially near the Canadian border; it might not be an affectation.
For a moment I thought you'd traveled through time accidentally but its only Rachel dressing up and having a wander through a living history village. Thanks for bringing us this amazing video.
I love that even after all the crafts she's done, cooking is the thing making her nervous.
I'm a little boggled that she's never separated eggs before... but then I can't sew or sculpt like Rachel csn.
@@corgiw7281right?!? I was like wait wait wait she’s never SEPARATED AN EGG 😂
I was at that very museum just the other day. The Pilgrim called John Howland taught me calligraphy with a real quill pen and said you can send letters to the museum addressed to a Pilgrim and one of the cast will write you back presumably in character.
I love Rachel being completely flustered by all the direction and information she’s getting 😂❤
She looks so nervous I wanna tell her to take a deep breathe and shake it off.
I can see and feel her anxiety (like the hand wringing) I just want to hive her an introvert hug
The" No, I can not say I have" was everything
I would have loved to see more of the indigenous cooking!
Petition for Lily to have her own channel.
That was delightful! I love watching videos like this where people go to historical places and the employees stay in character. Tis toothsome.
Me too! I had so many questions to ask. I wanted to ask why her and her family came to America. I wanted to ask about the passage, especially if she was pregnant on the ship or not. I wanted to make up an excuse for Rachel not knowing how to cook (in that setting), like she just got out of an indentured servitude contract, and they only had her clean. Most importantly, when she kept saying ingredients came from England, especially the butter, I wanted to ask, “Is from England a code for stolen from Ireland?” Sorry, I got way to into it lol.
There was something that utterly warmed my heart when it came to seeing how “fish out of water” Rachel was in a 17th century kitchen and garden (or really ANY kitchen and garden 😉). I loved seeing her taken under the wing of a good teacher with a wonderful sense of humor. What a fantastic video.
Had some very traumatic times that ended in a traumatic divorce a year ago and essentially dropped everything I enjoy including creators I used to watch... this one was a fun one to return to Rachel. You seemed like the [1600s] schitts creek. Like an eccentric rich woman who didn't know how to cook like a peasant and was adopted by several patient and kind townspeople to teach you how to survive!
Congrats with your divorce and f@ck him. Enjoy your life!
I hope you are doing better and can enjoy your favorite things again! This was such a lovely video.
This was interesting...but it's a bit weird to group the indigenous cooking video with the "extra stuff" (as you say) on Patreon after saying it's important to share the Wampanoag 17th c. cooking methods too. Maybe you could make the Wampanoag video available here too, or switch them and put this video behind the paywall instead?
That roasted quail drawing at 1:47 hit me in my funny bone 😂
She is beauty, she is Grace!
@@serenahottal8102 She is launching into space 🐔🚀
The curd fritter needs work, though ! Lol 😂
Came here to say this. It’s legs! She got gams for days
@@izzyinnit82omg Chicken Invaders??!
I CANNOT express the amount of joy I felt when I realized that it is a Rachel Maksy Friday this week!! WHEEEE! Made my day! ❤
OMG same! ❤
Me too!🎉
They just adjust calenders. Fridays and FriYAYs!!
Two things in particular I love (aside from Rachel’s always inviting presence gracing the screen): 1. Seeing that gardening borage and lovage was traditional at this time made me stupidly happy because I have them growing in my own garden. 2. Hearing the old pronunciation of English here is delightfully fascinating and I could listen to it for ages!
I was interested in her accent too.
Couldn't agree more!!!!
Sauce! It sounded so Dutch which i found very cool
this was so much fun!! I loved the vibe between you and lucretia. it was also really sweet bc it really felt like an older sister teaching you how to cook, so when she said “cookery is normally taught to you by other women” it got me a lil 🥲
I’m very excited to see the Patreon video! just a suggestion if you do this stuff again is to maybe make the indigenous culture one the main video, just so it reaches more people bc there’s less educational stuff on their history (:
obviously it’s your choice tho!
Give Rachel a break. You don’t know what the agreement is between her and the museum.
@victoria-8967 I agree. She probably just didn't get a chance to think it through with all of the filming and social interaction 😊
Okay Lily was a DELIGHT - thank you for sharing her and her expertise with us!! As a lover of ALLLL the old shit (Latin teacher), I truly appreciate anyone who works that hard to preserve and invigorate history. And my. Was she witty.
Wert thou not expecting a loaf??
During my binge-watch of food-making videos, Rachel drops THIS cooking video?!?! Perfection (Toothsome)
Baby girl really used a little slice of accent from every region of the UK and I love it 🤭 what an absolute sweetheart!
I loved this!!
it...feels a little weird for the indigenous content to be behind a pay wall. not trying to attack Rachel at all just like wouldn't hurt to explore that thought y'know.
I can’t explain the amount of joyful nostalgia this brings me! I went to that museum on a 3rd grade field trip. I felt like a part of history when I was there and I think about it often.
I went to one just like it too! The homemaker made us eggs over the hearth. Hands down, the best eggs I ever had! They were so fluffy! Maybe she used curds.
I had a cat named Marigold. She did gladden my heart. She passed earlier this year but my memories of her still warm my heart.
I loved this video! Have you ever heard of the channel Early American? It's an ASMR cooking channel with a girl named Justine who cooks historically accurate recipes from the 1800s mostly. So cute and relaxing. She also shares the original recipes so others can try them!
Great video! I can’t wait for the Indigenous part of it 😄 as an indigenous i really appreciate when people i admire acknowledge Indigenous history 🤎
Unfortunately the Indigenous cooking video is only on Rachel's Patreon, so not available for free :(
"Lucretia" is a fantastic teacher, this was fabulous 🎉
Love these kinds of videos! Please do more. “An introverts day out,but make it historical.” 😊
I want to start a petition for Rachel to head over the pond to cook with Mrs Crowcombe
Oh my gosh YES
@rosacanisalba Mrs. Crowckmbe would not spend time training so new and inexperienced help, especially one with little idea how to crack eggs! Bless but that is a task for Marianne or even the lower scullery maids.
@@Blackthorne369 :XD
Oh my goodness! This brings me back! I was costumed staff at a 17th century historic site for five summers while I was a student. I absolutely loved it, except our site historically had no women at it, so all the girls were dressed as boys. Thankfully we didn’t need to do first person, but I have mad respect for those that do. What a fun adventure for you!
What a fun, charming team you ladies make! Best edition of Butt Naked Vintage yet!
“Hasty Pudding” took 40+ minutes to make. In case you were wondering what our foremothers did with their time.
I'm guessing it was "hasty" in comparison to boiled puddings that just took all day.
So was the name tongue-in-cheek/sarcastic, or did regular, non-hasty pudding take even longer? I’m afraid I already know the answer…
It was their “fast food” for when they were in a hurry.
I just microwaved Pad Thai for lunch today . . .
Rachel and living history? PERFECTION!!!! Thank you for filming this! So much fun!
I fear that your ‘comfort zone’ was last scene nonchalantly whistling to itself, and walking quite quickly in the opposite direction.
Cooking instructor’s accent fills me with Autumn warmth 🍂🥰☕️
I love this! But I am really disappointed that the content about the indigenous peoples, an underrepresented group, being put behind a paywall making it inaccessible to those exact underrepresented groups. I would have loved to see just a short clip with a bit of that content and then knowing I could go to Patreon for extended content. I hope you do this again in the future!
Yeah, I unfortunately feel exactly this. I adore Rachel, she is awesome and I know it was totally unintentional (as anyone who saw her born-in-the-wrong-era video could tell), but like... Why? I really hope this will change because in my own opinion it just doesn't feel at all fair.
@@wherefancytakesme yeah I don’t think this was intentional. I’m surprised I haven’t seen anyone else mention it in the comments tho. This is super cool! And awesome! And could have included both and then had more of both on patreon. Love Rachel and hope for a little more thought on this but know it wasn’t malicious.
@@shaaaandYeah it just instantly crossed my mind, "Wait, but the 'white-people history' is free?" I'm also surprised barely anyone has commented on it, but I do want the indigenous content to come off the paywall at some point. This is just a white person's thoughts and all, but I really want to learn about that part of 17th century America anyway.
'making it inaccessible' I get your point but in turn nice assumption that all indigenous people can't afford a patreon sub.
@@xXxlaurenthyxXx interesting that that’s what you assumed was being said and what you took from this.
Rachel getting closer to her final form. I love it.
I was having a not so good day and just came home to a quiet house, two cuddly dogs, and a new Rachel video. ✨perfection✨
There is a reason why many cultures have something like a summer kitchen. The swankiest versions are basically little shacks with no walls and a roof to keep out sun and rain, the most basic ones are a fireplace outside, ideally with some shade, benches and a table.
This video as a whole is amazing but can we just take a moment of appreciation for "emotional support bangs" because if that isn't a mood I don't know what is
I love when you do something
A little different
But I also love the comfort of your usual content. This is the epitome of a comfort channel for me
Epitome, not apitamy.
Your caption team did a lovely job and I applaud them for keeping caught up with everything you and Lucretia were saying! One tiny correction, at 7:27 she said "boiled colworts" (also spelled colewort or colwart, so good luck with that, lol...). I wouldn't have caught it except for the fact that a few days ago my youngest brother and I couldn't figure out if Kale belongs to the colwort family or the mustard family, looked it up, and could hear Ruth Goodman probably laughing at us from Tudor England when we found they were basically the same thing.
Also pleeeeease collab if at all possible with Ruth Goodman. You. Would. Love. Her.
Well done you, stepping out of your comfort zone! I do hope we get to see the native American segment here on RUclips soon as well. 🧡
Rachel you canNOT refer to Jonathan Frakes as "the guy from fact or fiction"! My inner Trekkie is rioting!
That was so much fun! I grew up by Olde Bethpage and took my kids to Sturbridge Village when they were young. I’ve always loved learning about the 16&1700’s. Our town graveyard had graves from the 1600’s. I also honeymooned at Colonial Williamsburg. History nerds unite!!❤
What - no Mystic Seaport, CT?!?! 🥺
Rachel is the best!
I always laugh, when somebody tells me, that old-fashioned clothes were not especially hot despite many layers. I guess, those people never tried to cook in a summer heat in a traditional kitchen with a big oven, while wearing traditional Western multilayered outfit.
Obsessed with the instructor’s accent
I love the fact that the second mention of “this is coming over from England. Everything is coming over from England…” sounded almost bitter 😂😂 Something about that made me giggle in impending revolution
My mom lived on a farm in the Depression, and she mentioned once they made cottage cheese by hanging it in a cloth bag on the water pump for it to drain. Turns out that's a really old trick.
I turn beet-red when I get hot like that. Rachel stays beautiful and just glows. I am so grateful to live in these days with stoves and ovens and refrigeration.
Oh my god I loved this so much. The whole experience seemed lovely, but... when she said borage... I literally screamed. Borage is the most common veggie in my hometown, we eat the stems and leaves (we call it borraja). But it's not known in the rest of Spain so I can only eat it when I visit my mom. I learned (reading Outlander 😂) that it is common in the UK to use the flowers for infusions and such. So the more you know... Thank you!
Fellow maña here. I remember having a Galician cousin over one summer and when my aunt put the plate of borrajas in the table, the cousin explained that they would fed that vegetable to the pigs. Needless to say her mum called a few days after she came back home asking for a recipe 😂
@@claudial.2214 Hello there. It is not the most visually appealing thing to eat, I admit it. But it tastes like home.
*in a David Attenborough voice* Behold! we see the floor troll in the wild as she learns the old "cookery" methods of the 17th century.
This was a fun video! I'm looking forward to more of them in the future, especially ones that include Indigenous history (since I'm Indigenous myself from Canada).
You gotta do this with Old Stirbridge Village too! We have so many great historical museums in Massachusetts and New England. Maybe a visit to the Newport mansions? *eyebrow wiggle*
Oooo, I have never been to Newport , so would LOVE her to do that!
There’s a ton in Maine too. There’s multiple colonial forts. Native American culture is huge especially the wabanaki
Hey in history today I was just teaching my kids about the Wompanoag people. I have a relative named Lucretia, it's not a name you hear too often. You reactions, Rachel, would have been exactly like my own. A bunch of "whoa, ooh, ahh" smelling everything and just a grin on my face the whole time. Neat video :)
If you're grinning when learning about genocide, either you're racist or you're not actually learning the truth.
@@cyborg_siren the grinning is only a response to learning to cook like that, not in response to the devastating history of the Native Americans.
Watching Rachel learn to separate eggs was like watching the Dunning-Kreuger effect in real time 😂
14:20 I LOST it at “thou not expecting a loaf?” 💀
I’ve been going to this place all my life since early childhood, this is such a wild trip I love it so much!!!
I actually freaked out when she pointed out the borage, I ate some borage in one of those gardens as a tiny little kid and instantly loved it, edible flowers are wildly underrated 😂
I've never had borage, but totally had a similar experience with nasturtiums as a kid! The flowers are pretty AND yummy, what's not to love, right? XD
@@readmachine18 and nasturtiums are easy to grow. Love their peppery tang!
@@MsShellectable Right?! 😆
As a history nerd, this video brought me SO MUCH JOY!
SAME!!!!!! Rachel, we'd love you to make more videos like these!!!!
so impressed by Lily for staying so completely in character as Lucretia, the way she reacted when you shook her hand was perfect
That was so much FUN! What a creative way to get out of the house, use old tools for authentic old time cooking AND I spotted a Nick in the wild. Thank you so much Rachel. Made my Saturday!
aaahhh yes yes a wild Nick appeared here or there very delightful
Loved this format. If historical activity vlogs are content you want to do more of. I'm all in. Or sew things. Or henna your hair. Or decorate your house. Or do a fashion show/ montage. Or a craft.
Mostly film yourself and add your references and flair.
Lucrecia is a goddess I mean she slayed all the way through
4:45 her saying “aye” was so comforting. 😂
Holy crap! After years of watching you, how have I never realized that you’re local to me until this video? Aside from feeling INCREDIBLY stupid, this video was not only awesome for all the usual reasons, but because I grew up in Plymouth (and am still living in another town in this state). Thank you for another funny and charming video. Every one of them is an absolute gem. 💗
Is there a reason that you decided to put the wampanoag video on Patreon rather than the main feed? I am looking forward to seeing it, but it feels like this could have been a more diverse video instead of putting indigenous content behind a paywall!
Oh, right! I was wondering where the Wampanoag cooking was. I, unfortunately, am on a limited income which prevents patronage.
Yeah.. I find that a bit odd too. She says she’s passionate about showing it but puts it behind a paywall? Interesting..
It is very jarring that the indigenous content is the paid content…. Unfortunately this was a missed opportunity…
Oh dang I'm so friggin excited for this! This is most excellent training for your life as a friendly neighborhood bog witch.
I maid most the clapboards and pails for the house and fencing in the intro, all done by hand though I didint build that fence or house, just broke down the logs into the materials! YAY LILLY
Hello! I'm from Eastern Europe. Your video's are so amazing! I definitely remembered how I visited my grandmother in the village as a child. We had a garden and my grandmother taught me from childhood to care for beds and understand plants. It was a need, not a whim, unfortunately. I remember my exactly same emotions as yours when she taught me how to separate the yolks from the whites and prepare different dishes from what she had grown with her own hands. I ran to my neighbor for fresh milk and we made homemade cheese. Of course we had a gas stove, not opened fire 😮 How I plunged into nostalgia! Thank you so much ❤
That lady's accent threw me through a loop.
Where is her accent from, it’s definitely not English, (i know this because I am English) and it’s not American English ?
English here and having the same thoughts! Very confusing to listen to. I can hear a Northern English accent, but also irish and Scottish? And a bit American?
@H0dgehegg I hear all of that too (also English here)
@@indiabilly I can hear Scottish at times. UK here too
It was horrendous and all over the place. Caricature snippets of Irish, Scots, Cockney worse than Dick Van Dyke... *Mute*

yay rachel posted 😊 this video is kindly going to let me slide into a nice, relaxed sleep now and I wish everyone a nice day/morning/evening wherever you are if you’re reading this! ❤
I love the garden bit. That she went into the metaphysical properties of some of the plants, and what they were used for medicinally. It’s so important that the knowledge from our ancestors is pasted down so we don’t forget who we are.
Great video but I do think it’s strange to put the indigenous cooking behind a paywall after saying that it’s important to you to feature that aspect of history
yeah it feels really weird that it's on patreon where she's just directly making money off of indigenous people and traditional practices
this. it felt very contradictory.
yeah, i feel like it should have been the other way around
As much as I love Rachel, I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who thought that was odd/wrong :/
absolutely this, I was so confused by that choice. glad I wasn't the only one
Abby will be so proud of you! You did such a good job! The cooking part, I felt your anxiety. Thank you for doing that. The veggie patch, you felt a little more comfortable. I imagine that experience will help in planning your veggie garden purchases for next year.
Except for the waistcoat, stockings and shoes, I thought you were wearing your own clothes. 😊
I giggled when the interpreter pointed out the Marigolds that "Gladden the heart!" ❤
I have a couple of pots on my stoop filled with tomato plants, green pepper, eggplant, marigolds, and a lovely red flower. They definitely "gladden my heart" !
I HIGHLY recommend just starting a few pots around your door, shoving veggies & flowers in it, and water when needed. (Sometimes I must water daily, but due to lots of rain lately, I haven't had to.)
It is lovely coming home to my pots sprucing up my entrance.
Don't be afraid to start. I may only get a few cherry tomatoes & a green pepper or two, but it is SO satisfying to see the flowers, touch the plants, just interact with them....
P.s. marigolds will bloom more if you "deadhead" them. Basically break off spend flowers. Save them and dry them though. They will be full of seeds and Marigolds are some of the easiest seeds to start ! Just dry them & save them for next year.
P.s. also, join a local "seed swapping" group & you will end up with TONS of seeds, normally just for the cost of postage ! (Anything under a pound is normally '1st class', so cheap!)
The way Rachel glows with obvious joy in the thumbnail
I like that Rachel steps back in a video like this, like we're learning with her
15:00 THAT’S ME! It was a pleasure to have you in the village ❤
