A freezer full of moose, a crawl space full of food, buckets full of eggs and a shed full of firewood...it doesn't get better than that! Thanks guys. Cheers.
Además deben ayudar a sus vecinos.. Imposible que ellos dos solos consuman todo lo que cosechan .. en mi país con la mitad se alimenta un pueblo😮 Felicitaciones por tita riqueza. Desde el sur del sur del mundo saludos 🤗 😉 🙂 👍 😊 😁
wonderful video and very smart use of of the eggs...pasta making tip: once you've scrambled the eggs, just keep using the flour that is touching the eggs but don't break the ring of flour surrounding the eggs.....as you draw more of that flour into the mixture the ring will get thinner but the mixture will become far less liquid and you won't have it running away from you all over the table. A lesson I learned the hard way...lolol
Also, with such a big batch ... consider using a shallow (1" high) full or half size baking sheet when mixing in the eggs. Less chance of egg on the floor lol.
Pasta maker here. Ditto on making an interior egg ring in the flour & slowly incorporating more flour. Also take small amounts of dough and put it through the 7 setting a few times, this will “knead” the dough a bit more. Then do it once in 6, then once on 5, then on 4. I go to settings 3 and 2 because I like mine thin but setting 3 is a good one (especially for ravioli or those types of filled pastas). If making lasagna sheets with the pasta it helps to let the sheets dry out a little (leave them out for an hour or so, if not completely dry). Have fun!
What Fred said…I start with 15 c of flour making chicken and dumplings, no eggs though..more eggs the stiffer the pasta…..great video…love the bloopers 🤣🥰
An easy way to separate eggs is to use your fingers like a sieve. The whites slip through into a bowl and the yolk is left in your hand (to then go in a different bowl)
I am “92” now and of Italian descent from about age of four or five I would watch my mother make pasta, There were no machine then and watching my mom make pasta was like watching an artist paint a picture. She had a dedicated pasta board that covered the table and a long round rod for rolling, made for her by her father,she was amazing, I was born in 1932 , my Dad wasn’t working and I never knew how poor we were because we always ate well.I look back on those days as the richest days of my life. It made us a strong family, it made us appreciate what we have now and what we became. PS years later my mom went to a pasta machine !
@@joycedimaggio3816 Joyce/ you have a great Italian name my family were all yankee fans amd practially worshipped Joltin Joe. May the years be kind to you and your family.
What a beautiful comment and memory to share Ladies, reminds me of my grandma she’s Norwegian she is 88 & she tells me stories of when she was young how they were so poor but they too would never know because there was always great home cooked homemade meals on the table and food always brings family together ❤❤ Family Food and Home is definitely where the heart is! Mine anyways & everyone else I hope & pray lots of love and blessings too all ❤😊
Thank you for taking me back over 60 years. I remember gathering the eggs and watching my mother make noodles, I would then kill and dress an older hen that had stopped laying. Mom would then make chicken noodle soup while dad and my brothers and I worked the small family farm. Now much more of my life is behind me than what's ahead. I'm sure I'm not the only reader who is glad that there are young couples like youselves who are keeping an important way of life alive. Stay strong, stay happy Gary, Tucson AZ
Italian here 💗 your pasta looks great. I suggest you incorporate the flour little by little with the fork until the eggs are not runny anymore! Also, the more you knead it the softer it becomes, and you are then able to make smoother and less chewy fettuccine.
did a pasta making class in Rome you need to knead, knead, knead till your arms drop off and the pasta is silky. Also you have to flour your board more.
Thank the lord for an Italian. I’m Australian and this was killing me. They could only get the roller down to level 6 I was 😳😳😳😳😳at the 10 minutes of kneading. So naive. 😂
Tortellinis were over the top, they looked amazing. Many years ago my uncles mom would make noodles (she was from Germany) and she'd lay out the noodles on clean sheets on top of the beds to dry, (she didn't use the egg whites) and on that same day she'd make angel food cakes, using the whites of course.
Oh yes!! My family has German roots and this is how we make noodles too!! Always with angel food cake! The older generations had noodles and cake every Sunday!
What a wonderful, resourcefully couple you are. Ariel, I take my hat off to you. So many people - the world over- have so much MORE at their fingers but you demonstrate such diversity - you are Incredible. You are the most resourceful lady I’ve ever heard of. If I had my way you would be named Lady of the Year, for so many different categories. 🐶 🐕. ❤❤❤ you both.
@@SimpleLivingAlaska Yes, indeed....Arielle you are AMAZING! I could actually smell those lemons! The pasta and Lemon Magic Cake Looked absolutely Delicious! Yummy! Eric, you need to remember that anytime you want, you could open an "Off Grid" Restaurant! You are indeed a chef! 😊 You 2 are so Groovy! ❤
Right? I started watching when they built their in ground rot cellar at the old Alaska home. I was hooked. Now I'm happy that they have one under the house.
Every family in Italy has that pasta maker, it's a MUST! The extension makes tagliatelle and spaghetti. Tagliatelle is what you made. Also Tortelloni (big tortellini) e Ravioli! Pasta made in this way is called pasta all'uovo, eggs pasta.Nice work!
I've been making pasta for about 45 yrs now, I must confess I always use a bowl. One thing that is different to do with it is cut it into little squares and add them to your soup beans when they are almost done. A fun way to change up the same meal. Love the video (like always) Great to see you guys cooking!
I love that you made and dried your own pasta! You guys certainly do it all! Those tortellinis looked divine! Eric is a master chef and Ariel is a master baker!
I was saying to myself, “ You CAN make them thinner,” as Eric was discovering how to make them thinner. I appreciate how you discover and explore new things in your own ways. That is what this journey is all about! Thanks for sharing.
Yay for handmade pasta! When you’re harvesting and drying things from your garden, do some dried spinach, dried tomatoes tex- make into a powder & add one or the other to your pasta dough. You’ll get beautiful green ribbons and red ribbons. You can also marble the dough for an interesting look and taste. Also make sheets of pasta, sprinkle with fresh herbs & edible flowers, lay another sheet on top and run through the rollers to thickness 6 or 7. in our restaurant we cooked these in “rags” …so pretty.
Years ago, my grandmother & I found a stall at an antique market- at all places- that had homemade pasta. They made a lemon pepper pasta that was incredible. Sadly, they just evaporated. The market had no forwarding information, and I've never found anything like it again.
One of my oldest memories of my sister is making egg noodles together. She was 9 years older than me, and I was probably more of a hindrance than a help, but she let me help every time. We rolled them and cut them to the size of Rheame's noodles that we get in the freezer section at the store. I had not made noodles in decades, but one day, I decided to try again. I was making them to go with turkey, so I put a bit of sage in the flour. It was so good! Seeing this video makes me want to make more.
I saw you guys as hunters, gatherers, fishermen, beekeepers, gardeners, harvesters, cooks, builders, farmers, lumberjacks, woodworkers, concrete layers, electricians, mechanics, plumbers,, travelers, adventure seekers, and now large-scale pasta makers. Is there anything you haven't tried yet? You are a perfect example of what true people can do if they want it.
You always make your videos so fresh and entertaining and interesting, always something different and great video quality, that's what keeps me watching, most homesteaders it gets to be the same thing over and over . You live full and adventuresome lives and thanks for taking us along! Alaska looks absolutely beautiful
I just wanted to say that I love ur show. I have been a fan for over 5 years. I remember when u guys stay at the old place and u guys used to sleep up in a loaf and wash clothes, then hang them in ur place. Love it❤... I never watch you guys on my phone. I have u on the big screen with all the notifications... I wait on a new episode weekly.... Thanks for everything ❤❤❤ Inspired American
You may want to consider getting a harvest right freeze dryer. You can freeze dry raw eggs and they reconstitute like new, you can also freeze dry scrambled eggs like you get in backpacking meals ❤
As the egg dam broke and started running toward the edge of the table.... I'm over here yelling "Ariel, stop the eggs, they are going to run off the table"... like you could really hear me. Great video, I love watching the both of you on your journeys.
Those eggs are beautiful!! I am eternally jealous of your abundance of eggs (because they’re so pricey here in Los Angeles!) but also happy for you both 🫶🏻 I am always inspired by your channel. Many blessings to you both, Eric and Arielle!
nothing better than fresh pasta!! love it. Wife actually bought a large bag of flour so we could bang out a few batch and dry it. Looked like a great meal guys!!
I love your pasta drying method. They're just beautiful. When I make my pasta, they're hung everywhere in my house you name it. Great job. These are just gorgeous tortellini, Eric!!! Yum.... Beautiful Lemon Magic Cake, guys!! Love the goofy back scene, too. You two rock!!! Thanks for sharing.
I loved the bloopers 🤣 I always enjoy watching y’all’s adventures and how you work together so well as a married couple. Prayers for a safe and warm winter!! Take care. 💕
Aww you guys are lovely and I watch each video with anticipation. You never disappoint to keep myself and many others, enthralled I am sure. Many happy blessings you both, not forgetting the beloved animals💖🐕🐕🐱🐥🐤🐣🐓🐔
So it’s set, after I’m done with chemo I’ll invite myself over to your cabin to eat those absolutely deliciously divine meals you guys are whipping up 😅😊
You two just blow me away; so many talents! I'm 57, and never made pasta but have wanted to for years. Now I need a pasta press, or roller or whatever they're called! Thanks for the inspiration!!❤✌
Arielle thanks for posting the lemon cake. I have been looking for this recipe for ages as my late mother made it. She called it lemon chiffon cake. I believe she got the recipe from my father’s old boss and his wife from Arizona when they came to visit us in Northern Ireland in the 1960’s. 👍🏻
If you have an ehh slicer open it up and cracked the egg into it and rhe white drains through, yolks left behind, quick and easy . Look forward to seeing you start gardening and fishing 🙂😁😁💜💜
I'm from Croatia and here they make dough that we call "mlinci". Roll out the thin dough and cut into approximately 20x15 centimeters. Then place that dough on the hot surface of your wood stove and let it bake a bit and bubble up, which should turn brown. Remove it from the oven and let it dry a little. Store them so they don't break. You prepare them by cutting them in half into palm-sized pieces and then placing them in boiling salted water for 10 seconds. put in an ovenproof dish and cover with juice and fat from the roasted meat. If they are still a little hard, pour a few tablespoons of boiling water or soup over them. Leave covered for 15 minutes, shaking them occasionally so that the fat gets everywhere and that they don't stick. It is eaten with roasted meat, the fat of which you poured over the grinders. I love watching you. Greeting!
Culinary Class with Simple Living Alaska!!! You don't want to miss this one. Homemade fettuccini pasta and tortellini filled with mushrooms, shallots and moose (and I think Kiefer cheese). Sitting down to dinner in front of curtains of drying pasta. Then a custardy lemon cake showered with powdered sugar, a bright yellow and white confection. (Areille talked through the recipe for this Magic Cake and we can all make it now. Fabulously intuitive cooks up there in Alaska. I love it when they get in the kitchen. Sending you tons of Love. Suzi
Lovely colour to that egg pasta. And who would imagine those wonderful restaurant-ready tortellini come from the same hands that accomplished all that cement laying and shed building etc! What a pair you two are!
I absolutely love your cooking and preserving segments, your kitchen is like a restaurant kitchen, you are so adventurous. Its great that you control the ingredients going into your food and body. You give us all great encouragement, I have definitely changed what is coming into my home - slowly getting the family adjusted to a lot more home made from scratch. Thank you for sharing.
I have never attempted homemade pasta because it appeared to be too hard. I will definitely be giving it a try now! I absolutely adore you guys! I swear I will convince my husband to live in Alaska for at least one year. It's definitely on my bucket list!!
Oh the wonderful world of homemade pasta! There are so many wonderful things you can amend your pasta with! Herbs, spices, veggies, and even wild flowers! Dill is one of my favs, sounds weird but dill pasta with salmon and a little lemon, garlic, and olive oil... yum! & Tarragon pasta with roasted garlic and olive oil... So many pastabilities! I love the idea of a giant batch, but you really have to kneed the crap out of it. You will get much better results with smaller batches, which is cool cause you can make them all different flavors/sizes/styles. More importantly though, smaller batches are easier to kneed well and get to rest a little longer while youre mixing up another batch.
Great episode, guys. Might have mentioned it before, but if you have the power generation capabilities, you guys would be a perfect match for a HarvestRight freeze dryer. (They might still sponsor channels) The wife and I love ours. Those eggs would be a perfect batch. Side note, I think you might need to get your cameraman in a counseling session and go over some contingency expectations. Like helping avert disasters like the great flour dam burst of 24. (I could almost hear a director in the background yelling “Keep rolling!”) 😄 Kidding aside, you twos cooking skills are pretty impressive. Maybe a side channel “Simple Cooking Alaska”?
I was a nervous wreck when you were mixing the pasta I was yelling at the video lol. You did a wonderful job love watching you two cook. Your eggs are beautiful
I'm so glad you kept your hens! All the trouble you went to for making their luxury accommodation was worth it. I'm looking forward to seeing you start your new garden next in that extreme climate! We in Australia call that dessert "lemon delicious". And it is, isn't it? One of my favourites. Plus, with all those eggs, dairy and lemons, it's officially a health food!
The 2 of you are simply amazing with what you won’t try and always pull it off regardless letting nothing get in your way. Y’all did a beautiful job on the pasta and the cake looks delicious. I love how well you work together. Love 💕 y’all!
I’ve been watching you from afar for so long. A whole different continent. Surely different upbringing and not so much in common. But still, I look forward to your videos every week, and sometimes I rewatch old videos before the new comes up. Don’t let me down and keep them coming.
Really needed to watch this tutorial. Made pasta once back in the 1970s on my porcelain kitchen table. I don't think I waited for the pasta to dry adequately and I cooked it that night. Well, I knew when it was done cooking because it floated to the top of the boiling water. I absolutely loved it and then never did it again. Now that times are tough and we face food shortages, I'm back to making it. You two are lovely. Thanks, again.
I've raised chickens for years, and when I have lots of eggs, I'll pickle them. A genius way to preserve an excessive amount of eggs and they're delicious
This is a comedic version of your channel and I’m very like rock ‘n’ roll and all that good stuff. I don’t remember your quotations, but they’re great.
The small generator and a large stand mixer wouldn't come a miss for you two. And a biscuit cutter! Thanks for sharing. And hugs to the boys and Miss Pepper.
With all the delicious food you two make you two must constantly work out in all of that Alaskan fresh air. Deb and I absolutely love your videos. Now we have to try fresh pasta. Thank you!
Winter is kind of the best, I feel like the time to prepare food is a lot more abundant and creates such yummy meals. I LOVE the bloopers. You make me feel like I could thrive in Alaska just cooking/baking all day, although you clearly show its a lot more work than that haha.
This is the first homemade pasta video that makes me feel like I could actually make my own pasta 🤣 others make it look ridiculously complicated. The skills you two have acquired along your journey are truly more valuable than gold!
"Simple Living Alaska Bloopers"...😂😅 Absolutely love when ya'll make things in the kitchen to eat, delish! The lemon magic cake looked amazing. The tortellini were spot on. Love ya'll ❤️
Ariel and Eric and the boys are our favorite informational enjoyment. Ariel you are a culinary genius, love your laugh and your drive. We smile when you were fishing and caught your big fish and kept screaming ERIC! Eric you are the best. We love you both. Joe & Penny NH
I think your past turned out Fantastic! I noticed you had some tortolini rounds left. Next time separate the egg take the yolk and carefully sandwich between two rounds and use a fork to seal edges and pop and cook till they float. When you cut into it your greeted with oozing egg perfect for breakfast.
Ariel, love all your videos as there’s a certain magic living in Alaska which comes through the lens. Prayers for you and Eric as you continue on through winter and perhaps an Illias addition. 🥰🥰🥰🥰😇😇😇❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏
It all looked really good and I'm sure by the time all was prepped and some enjoyed and of course the cleanup you were both exhausted and satiated. Slept like babies. We all had fun watching too.
You all live the good life. I know that it is a hard life because you have to do everything the old fashion way to a certain extent. All your videos show how hard you all work. Hats off to you two. When you are cooking the food always looks good. Thank you for sharing and God Bless you and your family. 🥰👍👍👍👍👍
The yolks on farm fresh eggs always amaze me. The color is so vibrant orange compared to what I get at the super market.. and I'm sure that's 100% due to quality of life for the chickens. They look amazing! I'm sure they taste just as good.
😂 it was quite obvious that your egg volcano would burst out and flood the table, I held my breath close to suffolcation. Thanks for the joy you bring!❤
When prepping foods you two are the best to watch and learn because you make a lot of different style of dishes with one ingredient (for example eggs). 🥰
Bo knows! Mmmmm, fresh pasta rocks! And man-sized tortellini too. Gotta love that. A continual bounty of fresh eggs this winter, what a treat that is. Trading stock too!
I like cooking with y'all. So nice to have a work table and a dining table at the 'new' house. Amazing egg production, now it's paying off what y'all did to insulate, heat, and light the coop.
You two crack me up! Every episode is an adventure and incredibly entertaining. I always learn something from your videos. Blessings and continued success! BTW, Great pasta!
A freezer full of moose, a crawl space full of food, buckets full of eggs and a shed full of firewood...it doesn't get better than that! Thanks guys. Cheers.
Aloha. Don’t forget the salmon.

did a pasta making class in Rome you need to knead, knead, knead till your arms drop off and the pasta is silky. Also you have to flour your board more.
Also let the pasta rest before starting to roll it out, just like bread it needs time to absorb and relax all the ingredients.
Thank the lord for an Italian. I’m Australian and this was killing me. They could only get the roller down to level 6 I was 😳😳😳😳😳at the 10 minutes of kneading. So naive. 😂
That bowl of eggs is so beautiful it’s like a work of art all by itself!
I believe it's PYREX Amish butter print.
I always like seeing that bowl. And ghat it's not broke. It's a collector item....
How I miss all that fresh made pasta, tortilla and ravioli ❤
if I were to try that I'da made a huge mess
then it turned into a science project
Tortellinis were over the top, they looked amazing.
Many years ago my uncles mom would make noodles (she was from Germany) and she'd lay out the noodles on clean sheets on top of the beds to dry, (she didn't use the egg whites) and on that same day she'd make angel food cakes, using the whites of course.

This probably explains why my grandmother who was of German descent made angel food cake which my father loves.

The key for thinner sheets has always been letting the dough rest.
And maybe not quite so much flour…
Awe. True love 💕 cook together eat together laugh together. Y’all are so blessed.
Please please please more Ariel bloopers!!! Y’all make my day with new videos!
Everything looked amazing! I would have loved to try some MEGA stuffed tortellini! Those were giants! You two are tOo cute! Great video kiddos!
You two just blow me away; so many talents! I'm 57, and never made pasta but have wanted to for years. Now I need a pasta press, or roller or whatever they're called! Thanks for the inspiration!!❤✌
Fresh pasta is so different from the other kind. You two made such a banquet from it. Good eating folks.🎉
Arielle thanks for posting the lemon cake. I have been looking for this recipe for ages as my late mother made it. She called it lemon chiffon cake. I believe she got the recipe from my father’s old boss and his wife from Arizona when they came to visit us in Northern Ireland in the 1960’s. 👍🏻
After shoveling 7 in during our winter storm was great to come in to relax to your latest video! Thanks Ariel and Eric for sharing your adventures
Wow 👍
That’s one happy flock… thanks for sharing your joy. You live abundantly
Love you guys❤ I crack up when you're decided to put the bloopers in the video
I also love when you have cooking videos! So much fun with the both of you doing the cooking! Love to watch the bloopers at the end all the time! ❤❤
Please make a Pavlova next time. It's a great way to use eggs.
If you have an ehh slicer open it up and cracked the egg into it and rhe white drains through, yolks left behind, quick and easy . Look forward to seeing you start gardening and fishing 🙂😁😁💜💜
It’s easier to cut into fettuccini or spaghetti if you allow the sheets to dry out somewhat before sending thru the cutting side.
I'm from Croatia and here they make dough that we call "mlinci". Roll out the thin dough and cut into approximately 20x15 centimeters. Then place that dough on the hot surface of your wood stove and let it bake a bit and bubble up, which should turn brown. Remove it from the oven and let it dry a little. Store them so they don't break. You prepare them by cutting them in half into palm-sized pieces and then placing them in boiling salted water for 10 seconds. put in an ovenproof dish and cover with juice and fat from the roasted meat. If they are still a little hard, pour a few tablespoons of boiling water or soup over them. Leave covered for 15 minutes, shaking them occasionally so that the fat gets everywhere and that they don't stick. It is eaten with roasted meat, the fat of which you poured over the grinders. I love watching you. Greeting!
Your lemon dessert looks heavenly. I love lemon flavor!
Thank you both. I enjoy your variety in life. The behind the scenes was a cool addition!
Culinary Class with Simple Living Alaska!!! You don't want to miss this one. Homemade fettuccini pasta and tortellini filled with mushrooms, shallots and moose (and I think Kiefer cheese). Sitting down to dinner in front of curtains of drying pasta. Then a custardy lemon cake showered with powdered sugar, a bright yellow and white confection. (Areille talked through the recipe for this Magic Cake and we can all make it now. Fabulously intuitive cooks up there in Alaska. I love it when they get in the kitchen. Sending you tons of Love. Suzi
Lovely colour to that egg pasta. And who would imagine those wonderful restaurant-ready tortellini come from the same hands that accomplished all that cement laying and shed building etc! What a pair you two are!
Love making pasta. I’ve never tried that amount though. Y’all are so funny and I love everything y’all do. Take care and God bless y’all! 😀❤️
I absolutely love your cooking and preserving segments, your kitchen is like a restaurant kitchen, you are so adventurous. Its great that you control the ingredients going into your food and body. You give us all great encouragement, I have definitely changed what is coming into my home - slowly getting the family adjusted to a lot more home made from scratch. Thank you for sharing.
Love your cooking/food videos! The problem is I'm always hungry by the end of the video! 😅😋
So glad your chickens are thriving in their heated coop! That is awesome!
I have never attempted homemade pasta because it appeared to be too hard. I will definitely be giving it a try now! I absolutely adore you guys! I swear I will convince my husband to live in Alaska for at least one year. It's definitely on my bucket list!!
I enjoyed u playing in the mixture!!!! This is how life should b lived!!!
Love fresh pasta! Great job as usual you two 👏
Oh the wonderful world of homemade pasta! There are so many wonderful things you can amend your pasta with! Herbs, spices, veggies, and even wild flowers! Dill is one of my favs, sounds weird but dill pasta with salmon and a little lemon, garlic, and olive oil... yum! & Tarragon pasta with roasted garlic and olive oil... So many pastabilities! I love the idea of a giant batch, but you really have to kneed the crap out of it. You will get much better results with smaller batches, which is cool cause you can make them all different flavors/sizes/styles. More importantly though, smaller batches are easier to kneed well and get to rest a little longer while youre mixing up another batch.
When the filled pasta is that big they’re called tortelloni ☺️ You guys did a great job!
Arielle & Eric,
Perfect, thanks for sharing. Yumm!❤❤
You guys rock!
Great episode, guys. Might have mentioned it before, but if you have the power generation capabilities, you guys would be a perfect match for a HarvestRight freeze dryer. (They might still sponsor channels) The wife and I love ours. Those eggs would be a perfect batch. Side note, I think you might need to get your cameraman in a counseling session and go over some contingency expectations. Like helping avert disasters like the great flour dam burst of 24. (I could almost hear a director in the background yelling “Keep rolling!”) 😄 Kidding aside, you twos cooking skills are pretty impressive. Maybe a side channel “Simple Cooking Alaska”?
Yes we are looking into them :)
The bloopers at the end are gold. You 2 are incredible, genuine and a true inspiration . Keep on truckin’ - much love from the PNW
I was a nervous wreck when you were mixing the pasta I was yelling at the video lol. You did a wonderful job love watching you two cook. Your eggs are beautiful
I'm so glad you kept your hens! All the trouble you went to for making their luxury accommodation was worth it. I'm looking forward to seeing you start your new garden next in that extreme climate!
We in Australia call that dessert "lemon delicious". And it is, isn't it? One of my favourites. Plus, with all those eggs, dairy and lemons, it's officially a health food!
Respectfully request deviled moose meat eggs
Now there's an idea. 😋🤤
The 2 of you are simply amazing with what you won’t try and always pull it off regardless letting nothing get in your way. Y’all did a beautiful job on the pasta and the cake looks delicious. I love how well you work together. Love 💕 y’all!
I’ve been watching you from afar for so long. A whole different continent. Surely different upbringing and not so much in common. But still, I look forward to your videos every week, and sometimes I rewatch old videos before the new comes up. Don’t let me down and keep them coming.
Really needed to watch this tutorial. Made pasta once back in the 1970s on my porcelain kitchen table. I don't think I waited for the pasta to dry adequately and I cooked it that night. Well, I knew when it was done cooking because it floated to the top of the boiling water. I absolutely loved it and then never did it again. Now that times are tough and we face food shortages, I'm back to making it. You two are lovely. Thanks, again.
We love you both, and your dogs and kitties. Stay safe, warm well. Peace.
Glad in the new house you get to sit and eat versus having to stand up in the old one! 👍🏻
I've raised chickens for years, and when I have lots of eggs, I'll pickle them. A genius way to preserve an excessive amount of eggs and they're delicious
you know what would make for some good winter content? A full length outtakes video. :)
I love how resourceful you both are, on the tools and in the home; very inspirational couple!
This is a comedic version of your channel and I’m very like rock ‘n’ roll and all that good stuff. I don’t remember your quotations, but they’re great.
The small generator and a large stand mixer wouldn't come a miss for you two. And a biscuit cutter! Thanks for sharing. And hugs to the boys and Miss Pepper.
With all the delicious food you two make you two must constantly work out in all of that Alaskan fresh air. Deb and I absolutely love your videos. Now we have to try fresh pasta. Thank you!
Winter is kind of the best, I feel like the time to prepare food is a lot more abundant and creates such yummy meals.
I LOVE the bloopers. You make me feel like I could thrive in Alaska just cooking/baking all day, although you clearly show its a lot more work than that haha.
This is the first homemade pasta video that makes me feel like I could actually make my own pasta 🤣 others make it look ridiculously complicated. The skills you two have acquired along your journey are truly more valuable than gold!
"Simple Living Alaska Bloopers"...😂😅 Absolutely love when ya'll make things in the kitchen to eat, delish! The lemon magic cake looked amazing. The tortellini were spot on. Love ya'll ❤️
Living off grid, making pasta, and lemon cake in the middle of winter in Alaska… can’t get much better than this!! ❤🍰
Ariel and Eric and the boys are our favorite informational enjoyment. Ariel you are a culinary genius, love your laugh and your drive. We smile when you were fishing and caught your big fish and kept screaming ERIC! Eric you are the best. We love you both. Joe & Penny NH
I think your past turned out Fantastic! I noticed you had some tortolini rounds left. Next time separate the egg take the yolk and carefully sandwich between two rounds and use a fork to seal edges and pop and cook till they float. When you cut into it your greeted with oozing egg perfect for breakfast.
Ariel, love all your videos as there’s a certain magic living in Alaska which comes through the lens. Prayers for you and Eric as you continue on through winter and perhaps an Illias addition. 🥰🥰🥰🥰😇😇😇❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏
It all looked really good and I'm sure by the time all was prepped and some enjoyed and of course the cleanup you were both exhausted and satiated. Slept like babies. We all had fun watching too.
You all live the good life. I know that it is a hard life because you have to do everything the old fashion way to a certain extent. All your videos show how hard you all work. Hats off to you two. When you are cooking the food always looks good. Thank you for sharing and God Bless you and your family. 🥰👍👍👍👍👍
The yolks on farm fresh eggs always amaze me. The color is so vibrant orange compared to what I get at the super market.. and I'm sure that's 100% due to quality of life for the chickens. They look amazing! I'm sure they taste just as good.
😂 it was quite obvious that your egg volcano would burst out and flood the table, I held my breath close to suffolcation. Thanks for the joy you bring!❤
When prepping foods you two are the best to watch and learn because you make a lot of different style of dishes with one ingredient (for example eggs). 🥰
Bo knows! Mmmmm, fresh pasta rocks! And man-sized tortellini too. Gotta love that. A continual bounty of fresh eggs this winter, what a treat that is. Trading stock too!
I like cooking with y'all. So nice to have a work table and a dining table at the 'new' house. Amazing egg production, now it's paying off what y'all did to insulate, heat, and light the coop.
You two crack me up! Every episode is an adventure and incredibly entertaining. I always learn something from your videos. Blessings and continued success! BTW, Great pasta!
Wow, that's a lot of eggs. It's always fun to watch others having fun, so thanks for sharing.
