I just found your channel today. I love the homemaking slow living channels and am subbed to many of them. The world is crazy and way too fast and it's nice to be part of a community that is still sane and real. So many people tell me I annoy them because I do things the slow way and take too much time doing things that machines can do (like clothes dryers). They say I waste too much time when I could be doing something else...but I AM DOING what I want to be doing. I love to line dry all of my clothes and living in the desert I can do it all year. Nothing like sheets that have hung out all night in the night breeze or in the day in the sun kissed air. I learned when living in Europe to air out my bedding once or twice a week. I line hang air my pillows every week in the sun when I change my sheets. Nothing like getting into a fresh bed of line dried linens and pillow. I'll never be too tired or too old to do these simple things. I'm subbed and look forward to all of your videos. Let's all slow down and do more for ourselves and our families.
Hello! I'm glad you came by. It's a good idea to air out your sheets for sure. I'm so glad you shared to air pillows! I will start doing that.❤ Keep living the slow life. There's no need to hurry up just to sit around. God bless.
I love to hang laundry on the line! I read one of your readers comments on etiquette on hanging clothes and I had to laugh! My mother taught me as her mother taught her about that etiquette. Underwear was always hung on an inner line between towels or something so as not to be visible to others. Like items were hung with like items. Clothes pins were carefully placed on shoulder seams, etc. Just brought back fond memories of my mom and grandmother. I can almost everything and what I don't can, I freeze. I did dry some herbs on a rack for the first time this year. I have an apple peeler/corer like yours, but I don't know where it is. I am going on a mission to find that thing before my apples are harvested in September. I love your channel!
That's a great memory! We always used the dryer when I was growing up.😁 I admire people who can! It took a little bit for me to remember where I had placed my apple corer. Thank you so much for stopping by!
I just stumbled across your channel and I have to say it brought warmth into my heart! I’m 33 and a mother of 6 little ones, all of my grandmas have passed and I miss them so much and yearn to go back in time to walk into their homes for a visit.. and watching your video gave me that simple quiet joy feeling as if I was here for a visit.. May God bless you and fill your home to the brim with peace joy and kindness 😊
Your commitment to homemaking, guided by the timeless practices of Grandma, is genuinely inspiring. It’s heartwarming to see how you embrace her methods with such dedication, creating a home filled with love and care. Your efforts bring a sense of nostalgia and warmth, making each moment spent at home feel truly special. And I am Floating Village Life.
Hi there, I just found your channel today & wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed your video! I love the interior of your home and the quiet, gentle way you go about your daily chores. I live in a small village in England and my days are similar to yours - I love laundry dried outside and I enjoy my garden too 😊
Hi! How beautiful that you live in a village & in England! I've always wanted to visit England. Thank you so much for watching! I hope you have a lovely homemaking week.
Love to see anyone hang out fresh laundry. It’s a lost art!! I don’t use a specific method for hanging out clothes, it’s so hot in Alabama that they dry quick. Those salmon patties make me want Mamas. She would make salmon patties and black eyed peas.Great memories🥰
I'm from Mississippi. I know Alabama is hot! I love to cook a meal that reminds me of growing up. I love to have salmon patties with purple hull peas. Thank you for watching. God bless!
I was afraid to can for so long. We broke down and bought an all american canner with the lock knobs. You really can't mess it up with those! I would recommend it.
I don't like to comment on channels as it is yours, not mine. No judgment, just my experience of my family owning and running steam laundries, etc. There is an etiquette to hanging clothes, which I still do in my seventies. Hang most clothes from the bottom. Like shirts, tees, and pants as to not leave marks, stretch fabric, and dry faster. There are many other etiquette on a clothesline. Like hanging undies behind towels and sheets. Using connecting clothes pins to save on space and pins when you can. Just my experience from my grandparents laundry etc.
Yes! I was raised by my grandmother & she took pride in hanging her clothes. I hang my wash cloths together using the same pin on each corner. My shirts always from the hem to prevent the marks on the shoulders. It’s like an art!
Thank you for sharing laundry etiquette. I love to learn better ways of doing anything. I will see if I can find the other etiquette on clothesline. God bless.
Good grief! Each to their own when hanging the clothes...shirts still stretch when hung from the bottom & have pin marks...I'm 71 and have hung clothes for 50+ years...who cares if my undies can be seen...😮🥺
@@homegrown1015 I totally agree. They wouldn't want to see the way I hang clothes. Lol. And it looks like she lives in the country, who is going to see. 😂
New subscriber ❤ I have been canning for at least 25 years and have never had an issue. I still use traditional pressure canners, however I love my electric Presto pressure canner for smaller jobs. It's a vety relaxed way of canning that fits right into your day ... and it's great for this season of my life whete I'm not feeding as many on a regular basis. I'm sure you'll love it and wonder why you waited so long! 😊 For elderberries - I like to steam juice the berries first (I cut off the thick stems but leave the small ones). I then reduce the juice by half and waterbath can with a little bit of food grade citric acid in each jar (1/8t per half pint). Mow the reduced juice is dhelf stable and ready for a bottle of elderberry syrup. My oldedt and his wife grow the berries, I process them, and then share the jars of reduced juice with my 3 children and their families. As for my favorite way of preserving .... it really just depends on the item! I do all the methods - canning, freeze drying, dehydrating, freezing, and fermenting - and some things are really nice one way but not nice another way. For example, my favorite way of preserving beef is canning, but sometimes I'll freeze dry a load to use in camping meals. Elderberries don't freeze dry the best, but dehydrate really well. Zucchini 😊😊 usually an abundance... I have learned that shredding and freeze drying is perfect. I throw handfuls of freeze dried zucchini shreds into all sorts of random things. Herbs - most are best freeze dried ... they seem fresh out of the garden! I usually grow a small bit of potatoes here, but my son-in-law grows a thousand or so pounds each year to share. He gives them to me in a 5 gallon bucket every so often and I can them throughout the week. I love canned potatoes!! Many people don't, but I wonder if they just don't know how to use them? If I want crispy potatoes, I put a jar of potatoes into a strainer, rinse well, spread onto a cotton flour sack towel to dry excess moisture off, spread onto a baking pan, toss with extra virgin olive oil, add some seasoning salt, and roast or broil until crisp. Yum!! Rinse and mash for mashed potatoes. Or just rinse and add to a soup or stew. Easy. Anyway... nice video!
@@SlowLivingWithAutism Hi and welcome! I'm so glad you're here. I really want to try freeze drying, but I'll have to wait til the price goes down.😊 I have heard good things about the electric canner so I'll go the Presto then. Love that you and your family share food! That is such a blessing I'm sure.
@@cottagetime3336 the freeze dryer is nice, but expensive for sure. I had it on my "wish list" for several years before actually getting it. I try to invest in one bigger / more expensive item each year, so 3 years ago was the year for the freeze dryer. :) I don't use it all the time, so I remind my daughter and daughters-in-law that they are welcome to give me things to freeze dry for them. It's nice to be able to share it!!
I agree, I don't like wasting either. I waterbath and pressure can, dehydrate, and utilize my freezer. When I first started canning on my own, my grandmother taught me waterbath canning. Her recipes and methods were old and do not meet current USDA guidelines. She even explained this and bought me Kerr and Ball canning books for the current standard of the day. My mom canned and made various pickles, peppers, fruit, and jams too. My father even had us children canning pickles one year when I was about seven.. I called it playing Pickle Factory because he had us lined up assembly style, and each child had a duty in the process. And my father used to make sausage with a German friend and my dad had a smoke house. Food preservation is something I enjoy doing and really, a variety of family members enjoyed it over the years too. One method is not necessarily better than others overall. It depends on your needs, what you have on hand, and what you want from the product. My grandmother even taught herself to preserve olives after sending away for information on the process from her extension office. I really like that spirit of wanting to make and preserve that I saw in them. Your potato harvest looks good. I lay mine on a flat surface in the basement to harden them off. I'm going to look at the package of masa flour for tamales at the store to see if it's plain corn flour like you used in your recipe. 👍
@@witsonsmom729 you have a rich history in preserving. Love the pickle factory story! I do have the ball canning books. My sister said if I follow those I shouldn't have any problems. If you have an Azure Standard drop near you, they have the best corn flour at a great price...well, last time I ordered. Thanks so much for stopping by.
I use all methods of preservation that I can. Dehydrate, water bath, pressure canning, waxing cheese, I even tried leather britches last year with my beans. My mom did not can and grandma did outdated methods so for the most part taught myself. I love growing medicinals as well. I also like making sauerkraut and other fermented foods. With the triple digits this year I’m ready for fall. I love salmon patties as well, usually paired with broccoli and polenta. Have a blessed day❤️
Fall is my favorite. I feel for you in those triple digits! You have got the preserving going on!! I'm impressed you do so much! Too bad we aren't neighbors. How was the leather britches? That is on my list to try. It'll be my off grid adventure.😊 Your salmon meal sounds delicious. God bless
I really enjoyed this video. I too am into the traditional style of living. You can never go wrong putting food up, no matter how you preserve it. Canning by salt water bath or pressure canning is a great way to taste summer and spring in winter 😊. Thanks for the good wholesome channel.♥️🙏👍Brooks,Oregon.
I have a Lacunza that I cook on only in the winter. We actually live in a cottage and it heats the house too well so cannot use the oven too much on the wood cookstove. You have to get it up to 350 to bake anything and that is too hot for such a small space. My potato harvest was disappointing. Spent 80 dollars on seed potato to get maybe 30 pounds in return. I live in zone 7a. This gardening season for me was a bust in everything except peppers. Too many of those! I am an old fashioned grandma living on 4 and half acres in Kentucky. Good to meet another one. 🙂
Our little back porch and basement have wood burning stoves that are made with a heavy metal plate for cooking. I have cooked on them both, not recently, though, and they cook very well. I really love cooking on our little yodel stove, but we don't use them unless the temperature is below 20 degrees. One of my favorite things to cook is pot roast and veggies. But, it takes work to properly maintain a wood stove, so it's not used that much anymore...blessings, Cindy
@@tedrudiselle7802 what a blessing to have two! Mmm pot roast & veggies sound good. My sister has tried breakfast... homemade biscuits. I would like to get one soon to learn how to cook on it in case I ever had to.
I am 80 years old and have been hanging out clothes since I was old enough to reach the line. I have yet to see anyone one youtube who really knows how to hang clothes neatly so that when you take them in you won't have to give them more than a lick and a promise with an iron.
You have inspired me to try potatoes again for fall. I love reading the comments of people who are new subscribers! Yay! I freeze a lot of food but I want to move away from that because we would lose a lot if we had a long-term power outage. I really want a dehydrator. That won't be in the budget for at least a few years.
Yay! I hope you get a huge harvest. We have all of our meat for the year in freezers. Canning meat is on my list. I would hate to loose all of that. The dehydrator I have was not too expensive, less than $100. It was on sale though. I would say pray & watch for sales on Amazon or even check thrift stores. I would add, lesson learned, to get a dehydrator with the fan in the back instead of the bottom. Those dry more evenly. God bless you, friend.
Hello Alisha. Thank you for another beautiful and inspiring video. There is just something about Cottage Time that brings tranquility to my heart. I agree with you that line dried laundry has a freshness and unique fragrance that only nature can give. Salmon patties are one of our favorite meals too. I have never tried corn flour in them, but will certainly give it a go. :) Home canning is tremendously rewarding. There is nothing quite like seeing rows of jars filled with the work of your hands. I do not put up game, because my husband does not hunt. I do take advantage of meat markdowns and specials at local supermarkets and can it. I also have a dehydrator. When you were talking about the ease of growing potatoes it made me think of a saying I was taught as a child. "Flowers need God to bloom and bud, but any fool can grow a spud." lol Have a beautiful day my friend. Much love to you from my cottage to yours.
Lol😅 I'll have to remember that saying. I long to see home canned food on my shelf. Meat markdowns is a good point! Buy it cheaper and preserve it. We get a great deal on meat from a local farmer. It's so good to hear from you. I wish you a beautiful week.
Your salmon patties looked delicious. I always use cracker crumbs instead of flour. I enjoy food preservation. I really like dehydrating certain things, but canning is my favorite.
Alisha - your channel has quickly become my favorite. The only thing I make and preserve right now is salsa sauce. I would love to learn how to do more but it has always seemed just a bit intimidating to me! I will definitely be trying the salmon cakes - Thank you for sharing!
You are so sweet. Thank you so much! I totally understand feeling intimidated. My sister told me to follow the recipes in the ball canning book and I wouldn't have anything to worry about...so I'm going to give it a go. I really want to make all of our salsa.❤
I preserve food in many ways. Freeze, canning, storing etc .....i like to can meats especially. Such a sure way to ensure we can have them in any given situation. I save all my meat parts/bones and veggie scraps in the freezer and also make homemade broths in which i mostly can. I do keep some frizen in smaller portions for when i just need a small amount. Nothing should go to waste....so much we can use in various ways as our ancestors did.
Hi there, New subbie here. Im a Salmon patty fan, crispy as well. I prefer Cornmeal with just a bit of flour as well. I love to put Apple cider vinegar on top....so good! Really enjoyed your video.
I hope you enjoy your electric canner! I wish I had two! It is amazing. I have a video showing step-by-step instructions how to use the Presto. Blessings on your canning future, I know you will love it!
I have a pioneer princess woodstove i cook on in the winter b its always been a dream of mine to have a simmer kitchen with a wood cookstove. Maybe someday❤
Welcome! I'm so glad you're here & thank you for watching. My dehydrator is Septree. The one with 4 trays. It's a cheaper dehydrator but works really good. God bless!
Great deal at hobby lobby!😄 For sweet potatoes, just be careful to not over water & if any danger of frost run & dig them up. I hope you get a great harvest!
Hi everyone! Thank you so much for watching. I hope you have a wonderful week! God bless you.🌻🪴❤

Hi Jenna! It really does. I'm surprised in the difference in taste.
I've always made my salmon patties with cornmeal., I define it cornmeal an egg to help it stick together and an onion

Those sound like how my mama made them. ❤ I love saltines, but sadly, I had to stop gluten for awhile.
I can dill and sweet pickles and hot peppers and salsa. I always say if grandma didn’t eat it 100 years ago we shouldn’t either!
Amen! That is a great motto to live by. I love all those things you can! I'm so excited to get a canner. God bless you.
I'm so happy I found your channel! New subscriber here!
@@susanwheeler949 welcome! I'm glad you're here. 😊❤️
Alisha - your channel has quickly become my favorite. The only thing I make and preserve right now is salsa sauce. I would love to learn how to do more but it has always seemed just a bit intimidating to me! I will definitely be trying the salmon cakes - Thank you for sharing!
You are so sweet. Thank you so much! I totally understand feeling intimidated. My sister told me to follow the recipes in the ball canning book and I wouldn't have anything to worry about...so I'm going to give it a go. I really want to make all of our salsa.❤
The salmon patties look delicious! Great video! I hope you have a blessed week!!
Thank you so much. You too❤
Fermenting veggies, especially jalapenos, onions, and cabbage, and carrots. It's my favorite way.
I love fermented jalapenos. Fermented foods are so good!
I preserve food in many ways. Freeze, canning, storing etc .....i like to can meats especially. Such a sure way to ensure we can have them in any given situation. I save all my meat parts/bones and veggie scraps in the freezer and also make homemade broths in which i mostly can. I do keep some frizen in smaller portions for when i just need a small amount. Nothing should go to waste....so much we can use in various ways as our ancestors did.
Canning meat is so important. Love that you use every part of food, even scraps. It's like the old saying, "waste not, want not." Have a great week.😊

Hi there,
New subbie here. Im a Salmon patty fan, crispy as well. I prefer Cornmeal with just a bit of flour as well. I love to put Apple cider vinegar on top....so good!
Really enjoyed your video.
Hi and welcome!! I have never had them with apple cider on top. I'll have to try that.❤ Thank you for watching. Have a blessed week.
You have such a sweet spirit. I enjoyed your video and pray God blesses you, your family, and your home, in Jesus' name.🙏❤😊
Thank you so much!! God bless you too.❤️🙏
Really enjoyed this❤
@@debby891 thank you for watching.😊
I hope you enjoy your electric canner! I wish I had two! It is amazing. I have a video showing step-by-step instructions how to use the Presto. Blessings on your canning future, I know you will love it!
I will definitely go watch that! Thank you so much. Bless you.
@@cottagetime3336 😁
Ved your whole video awsome😂❤
I have a pioneer princess woodstove i cook on in the winter b its always been a dream of mine to have a simmer kitchen with a wood cookstove. Maybe someday❤
I want a woodstove for winter. Your dream kitchen sounds perfect! How relaxing to cook outside.❤
Amazing video 😊❤
Thank you for visiting.❤
Try running your onions under cold water before cutting them.
I tried it and it works! Yay! Thanks so much.
Im a new sub & so happy to have found your channel. I will binge watch. What kind of dehydrater is yours?
Welcome! I'm so glad you're here & thank you for watching. My dehydrator is Septree. The one with 4 trays. It's a cheaper dehydrator but works really good. God bless!
We need to preserve the history of food making. It needs to be shared by our younger generation. I hope they are interested.
Agree. That is such an important skill.❤
The best thing about having a garden for me is hanging the washing out on the line.
I love both of those.😊
hello, from Michigan
Hi and welcome!
My husband to be taught me how to can fruit before we were married 40 years ago! Im not strong enough to do it anymore!
Aww, well that's a sweet memory!❤
I have that same spoon rest that you have! I am growing sweet potatoes this year for the first time, do you have any tips for growing them?
Great deal at hobby lobby!😄 For sweet potatoes, just be careful to not over water & if any danger of frost run & dig them up. I hope you get a great harvest!
@@cottagetime3336 thank you! I’ll remember that! Thank you 😊
Just caught your video , Do you have a fermented kraut video ?
I don't. I wish I did.❤
You don't want an old wood cookstove because they are not airtight
I've heard that. I would love to get a second hand one from the Amish.
I would like to learn to can.
Me too but was nervous about it. My sister told me if I go by the Ball canning book it will be fine.❤ I'm rooting for you! You can do it.
Where did you get your knife?
It belonged to Shaun's grandparents. We got several of their knives. I love this one. Bless you❤
I could have misunderstood what she said; but did she say she wants to grow marijuana
