    I can recommend that you can can up half and half to make it shelf stable. I have done it and it works fine in an emergency like being snowed in. Also, my Mexican mother in law would dip the tortillas into some of the sauce and cover them with it before putting it in her casserole to make sure they did not dry out. She always said it was worth the step to keep them soft.

    Becky.. Thank you for putting yourself out there. Social media can and is a daunting challenge these days, but you navigate it with class ,style and kindness. I am a retired ICU nurse who spent 18 years working in a large PNW teaching hospital, homeschooling my daughter and twin boys, and eventually started teaching Biology and coaching Science Olympiad for our local homeschool ❤co-op. In 2007 I was completely disabled. While I am wheelchair bound, and can’t garden/ preserve food/ or make freezer meals to the extent that you do. That’s ok, I do what works for me and my physical limitations. When I make a recipe that is freezer safe I double it. I made a spice garden in pots on my backyard patio last year. …and just ordered 2 Greenstalks for growing tomatoes strawberries etc, because I realized I could. YAY!!! Thanks again for inspiring me to get out there and do what I love. I may be in my 60’s but you teach me new things almost every episode. Thank you again for sharing this adventure we call life, and for being your genuine self …I feel blessed watching as you and Josh make your homestead into your dream. Blessing!!

      @lbacaterpillar Год назад +1

      I have the same and though I don’t use it a lot.. I love it. My psoriasis gets worse when I eat whole wheat products but I can eat fresh ground whole wheat. But alas, the fiber even after sifting it, is hard on me as a colorectal cancer survivor. But I love making the occasional bread or biscuit with freshly ground wheat. It’s so delicious. The only thing about the Mockmill 100 to mention is you can’t grind up certain things that are oily. I think that is the right info. Like don’t grind coffee beans or anything but wheat or barley etc.

    • @InForTheFood
      @InForTheFood Год назад +2

      @@lbacaterpillar Yes, they don‘t recommend grinding oily things in it, or else it gunks up. It can be easily taken apart to be cleaned though, and grading rice cleans it too. Regarding the bran stuff not being ok for your gut, did you ever try grinding buckwheat, millet, quinoa? The mill does it perfectly fine, and these gluten free grains/seeds might be gentler on your gut. You can make pancakes with it for example. Or even gluten free bread. I don’t know, of course, your dietary restrictions, I myself have some issues with gluten, so I explored other options, like Emmer and Einkorn. I like Emmer better for it’s easiness to work with, and better digestibility. And for gluten free bread, I am experimenting with a mixture of buckwheat, millet and some starch and psyllium husk for binding. And it turns out great. And it is definitely easier un the digestive tract, especially because of the psyllium husk, that has fibres. But I digress. If the fibre from the bran is causing you issues, maybe look into improving the intestinal flora. That is highly underrated and so very important. The yeast and bacteria there feed on that fibre and give us back nutrients and other good stuff. I try to eat as many sources of fermented food like kimchi, sauerkraut, kefir, all homemade. Good luck with your health journey and hope you improve and get to enjoy food! Cheers, Andra

    Hi Becky!! Thank you for your inspiration in the kitchen, garden and all around.
    I just wanted to bring something to your attention. The dough hook for your mixer is starting to lose that enamel coating, I had the same problem and just babied it, not putting it in the dishwasher and washing by hand. My last batch of bread ended up having many different size flakes of that enamel, so I ended up having to through all that bread out much to my disgust. This is not a new issue with the KitchenAid utensils. I have to get a new one. I like the shape of the enamel coated one and have the orginial that came with it, but surprisingly it mixes dough differently.
    Many continued blessings to you and your family!!

    Becky, I love watching your shows with my wife. This video is another example why I believe your videos would be so much better with a wireless lavalier microphone. The echo of your voice in your kitchen competes with what you are saying. And when you are close to the camera and there is little or no echo picked up it is so much easier to hear what you are saying. There are so many to choose from and some are quite inexpensive. You might ask your subscribers if they feel this way too but I'm sure it would be well received. You could even make it part of your content and say it's a trial for a week and ask for feedback. Thank you for considering this.

    Pam here….couldn’t you use evaporated milk for your half & half. I actually love a little sweetened condensed milk in my coffee, I had that in Spain and it was sooo good I make that for a dessert coffee with company…a really good dark roast or espresso and a dollop and SCM…YUM YUM YUM. And both are shelf stable in cans and the SCM will stay for a long time in the fridge because it has so much sugar in.

    Hi Becky, I highly recommend the Mockmill 100. I have the Mockmill Lino 100 which my husband chose for how attractive it looks on the counter. I love that it is slim, youcan adjust the coarseness of the grain, and the mess is minimal in that the flour shoots straight into your bowl. I have even ground course salt into a more usable size, as well as soft white wheat berries into a course grain for cream of wheat! Got that idea from Felicia at Grains and Grit, great resource as you experiment with milling wheat. Great job! 👍

      I decided not to go to the grocery store for a month. I cleaned my freezer out it was so nice to not waste money throwing so much meat out. I normally would go to the grocery store every 2 days because our stores have daily sales but I'd end up buying more than just that.

    Just recently bought a nutrimill classic. I really like it. Primary criteria were speed and the ability to grind corn, as I grow my own flour corn. I have an older different brand with stone milling plates and it takes FOREVER to grind a pound of wheat. Very happy with the nutrimill.

    Hi Becky, video as always it's so lovely to see you. Sidenote your dough hook for your KitchenAid has the enamel coming off of it which is not safe if I remember correctly They will replace it with a stainless steel one for free! I watch another channel's cooking videos and they explained The process I just can't remember who it is. Thanks again for taking us along in your kitchen and on your journey 👩‍🍳😊💕

    My grain mill is almost as old as I am and I can definitely recommend something of high quality because you have it your whole life. A good grinder in particular pays off in the long run. I'm from Austria and I have a Fidibus Classic with a ceramic grinding stone. But be careful, once you put your hands in fresh, home-ground flour, you fall in love.

    Your shelf stable cream has been very handy for you. If (when) you are snowbound again, you could use it in your coffee, straight or maxed with milk.

    You should try cashew cream for your decadent coffee habit… (raw cashews and water1:1… mix it up in a vitamix). No nut milk sediment … no straining … etc. it’s a great option I love when I’m out of soy milk.

      We do over on the north central Washington side. Mission Ridge Ski resort is going to extend season due to the extremely heavy snowfall this year. I think by listening to Becky she has mostly experienced rain rather than snow at the former home. This altitude and growing zones change very noticeably in just a few miles maybe. ? I live in the Wenatchee Valley. It is almost always a good amount of snow here.

    Becky, have Josh look into getting a snowblower for the tractor. We live 1/2 mile down in from the main road up here in Maine and the snowblower is necessary to keep our road open. We do also have a truck with plow, but without the snow blower we wouldn’t be able to keep it wide enough for the winter. 😀🦋

    I've learned so much from watching your channel and I'm very thankful for you! :) I have a KoMo Fidibus XL mill and I absolutely love!! I decided on the Fidibus XL due to the higher wattage motor. Since I started using whole berries, I've been baking 5 out of 7 days per week simply because I'm trying different berries and learning how to handle them. We have several friends that I drop baked goods to in order to get feedback, because we can't eat all of it lol. From my dent corn to my wheat berries, everything comes out great. Keep up the great work and congratulations on your baby!!

I'm not able to participate in the pantry challenge but I have been doing freezer meals myself which has been interesting and very tasty. I can relate to your snow situation since I previously lived in rural community in CA with 4000 feet elevation. Hang in there it will get better eventually. My husband said the snow blower may be your best option due to how your driveway is situated. Take care and happy anniversary!!!!
