This channel has helped me understand why hearths were so important. It was basically your stove. Yes, the fire itself was used to cook over, but see how much of the cooking she does by bringing coals onto the heart and putting pans over them. The bigger the hearth, the more you could cook at one time.
after all, the saying "home is where the heart is" originally was "home is where the hearth is" a hearth warms the ambient, allows you to make basically every type of cooking (boiling, stewing, frying, if you have a dutch oven even baking...), heats the water for your ablutions, even provides light in the evening.... a Hearth was truly the heart of the house
A most interesting channel. In my years of wandering in the Ozark mountains of Arkansas I have often found old homesteads long abandoned with little remaining. I often wondered about the people that lived there and their lives. Your channel is a glimpse back in time.
When I lived in rural Montana, I’d see the old cabins falling back into the earth & always wondered about their history! Loved photographing them! Have a beautiful day!🍂🦃🍂
I lived in the Ozarks in Missouri as a child our closet neighbor was two miles away. I lived with my mom my auntie and my five cousins we were all close in age . My grandparents lived a bout a half a mile away up on top of a big hill we lived in "the cottage" an old two story three bedroom house. I was in kindergarten and would take schoolbus. Neighbors had horses and cows. We would go exploring and play til started getting dark. We loved the frog ponds and empty barns the creeks and climbing the tallest trees we could it was really wonderful. I lived there in Rogersville til I was in second grade then my mom got married and we moved to Springfield. I don't remember ever going to a grocery store the whole time I lived there in Rogersville. I only went into town to go to school. I remember a lil gas station my mom would stop at and I'd sometimes get a piece of candy. Even though I was only there for a few years it was most definitely the best time of my childhood it was wonderful.
I loved cooking on a fireplace. I still think the food tastes better. I worked in a historical village for 15 years. Brought my kids up there Your videos bring back great memories.
The only problem with cooking on a hearth is that everything you eat is basically smoked. It's hard for me to imagine now since I love the taste of real smoke flavor, but I can imagine that many people got worn out by it.
I love this....I am Mexican American and embrace both cultures. While I was visiting my family in Mexico I was taught by my family to cook in a hearth such as this and later they upgraded to stove. It was so interesting to think that this is how it was in Conquistador era. We have really evolved to more easier and quicker way of living and eating
I used to be a Civil War re-enactor and cooked all these things over a campfire. It was so much fun and the soldiers in my unit always gobbled everything up. Great memories!
We bought a meal at a re-enactment cooked by a couple who attended different venues. Everything was 100% authentic as grown, smoked, cooked in 1860s, except for one minor exception I can't remember. I was totally unprepared for how DELICIOUS that food was. It was all cooked over the fire, including the raspberry pie, tarts. Just thinking about it makes me so hungry!
I'm tired, too. And I cooked using a microwave, food processor, stick blender, and an electric range today. Justine is an Early American cooking champ!
If you want to shake things up a little and cook 18th century foods but only have modern equipment then you might like this channel if you haven't seen it: ruclips.net/user/jastownsendandson
@@BloodInTheStrawberries Yes, I follow Townsend and Son, too. Thank you! Edit: I have 19th century pioneer cooking equipment, handed down in the family. Cast iron skillets, dutch ovens, some later enamelware, wooden butter churn, things like that. I can cook pioneer food, which was very plain--and traditional Native American meals--all over a campfire. Not reenacting, just life, camping, hiking, etc. I think of the main part of my ancestry as Earlier American. In our daily lives we garden, forage, fish, hunt, and sometimes prepare meals like nut soup, pine bark flour flatbread, acorn cakes, roasted cattail roots, succotash, venison stew, and masa tortillas. There is a video on RUclips of a woman processing acorns the traditional way. I use modern gadgets whenever I can. I like to understand the origin, history, availability, and preparation of all foods.
Closest I come to cooking like that is my brick firepit. But yeah. In the kitchen I use electric griddle, an electric skillet, I had a manual egg beater/mixer, oven, stove, pressure cooker, and deep fryer but can never imagine doing a whole dinner like that. Although watching this channel I would like to try it on my fire pit.
I don’t know how I ended up here on this side of RUclips, but I’m loving these videos. That’s the thing about RUclips you come here to watch 1 thing and end up watching a video you would’ve never search for.
I just got done baking pies, making cornbread for my dressing and cranberry sauce for tomorrow. The rest cooked tomorrow. Ugh, already tired. Happy Thanksgiving to you and everyone!!
When I was young I used to love the day after Thanksgiving and especially Christmas there was plenty of leftovers and the kids had new toys I could sit back and read a book . Now it’s just myself and husband and that’s not fun anymore 😩. Cherish the little ones because even my grandkids are grown .
I only did the sweet potato pies today. I'm only responsible for sides this year, mashed potato, gravy and green beans casserole is going to be cooked tomorrow (aside from turkey--that's the hubby's duty). Happy Thanksgiving, enjoy!
I've been cooking from scratch since I married almost 40 years ago. When we married there wasn't as many pre-made frozen foods there is now. I tried some of the frozen dinners but we didn't care for most of them at all. My daughter cooks like I do. My 21 year old granddaughter is a fast food junkie. I can only hope when she marrys she will begin to cook healthy, nutritious meals..
All the prep work and cooking reminds me of being at my maternal Grandmother's house for Christmas. All of us "women folk" would be in the kitchen helping Grandma prepare the meal. We would have carrots, corn, turnips, turkey, gravy, and for desert, Grandma had mince pie and apple pie. We children would sit at a card table, while the grownups would sit at the big dining table! Such fond memories! Her woodstove was always hot, and we kids learned how to use the tongs for lifting the iron top on the stove. That was back in the 1960s and 1970s. Gosh, seeing Justine prepare everything by herself made me wish that I could go there to help her! No wonder she's so tired! Poor dear! I wish you all a happy Thanksgiving! God bless! ~Janet in Canada
I love seeing how the entire meal was prepared from scratch. Now we have it easy, just go to the grocery store and buy ready made meals like I did this year 🙂 Happy Thanksgiving 🦃
I fail to understand how anyone could exchange a home-made feast from recipes passed from generation to generation for some store-bought crap, but if it makes you happy, who am I to judge.
@@YamiKisara First of all you don't know my life. I work full time. Actually overtime since my company is very understaffed right now and I am exhausted when I come home from work. I worked on Thanksgiving and the day before and the day after. My parents don't celebrate the holiday because they are Polish immigrants so I am in charge of buying the meal. Stop judging people.
@@YamiKisara I cooked as part of a Thanksgiving dinner this past holiday--I made the yams, mac & cheese, dressing, homemade cranberry sauce, and more and I wish I HAD just bought a ready-made meal! I was wiped out by the time I was done and was so tired, I could barely eat, LOL. Not everyone wants to cook their guts out (or is able to) on the holiday.
This is so great! Interesting to see how hard women had to work and thanks for showing how tired she was doing her daily work. The actors are great! Whoever thought to develope this was a genius!
I can just imagine the work to clean the pots & pans too. And the ladies must have had such sore backs from cooking on an open stove. Incredible what folks accomplished.
I have learned so much from watching you. We have a wood stove as our back up heat and in past storms where we have lost power we have cooked on it, made coffee, stayed warm, heated water, etc. IF we had to, we could cook over an open fire, as well. Your cooking is solid. I could do some basic meals to keep us fed. ❤
I know what you mean, cooking is great, you learn so much, experiment all the time, and you feel so proud of what you have made , I started cooking from age 16,and I’m still going I’m now 75 years old 😊
May the Lord keep everyone in good Health, may there be Peace, Joy and Love in everyone's heart in this world. Let us pray for those who are struggling with minimal to no food, homeless, fear, etc., Lord please open their hearts and/ or hear their prayers. May we be generous and give joyfully when panhandlers ask, for the Lord our God sees and knows all. Please let us remember Thanksgiving and everyday is about giving our Lord Thanks and Praise for all His Goodness and Blessings. May we never take anything for granted, lest we find out the true feeling of being ungrateful. Peace, Joy, Health and much Love to all. Happy 🙏Thanksgiving 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣1️⃣-November
Sprinkle the cast iron with a liberal amount of salt, rub with a rag, then when it’s clean, use some oil/butter and oil the pan. I use this method all the time on all my cast iron. It’s super easy and does the job very well.
This may sound weird, but would like to see you clean up the cast iron cookware at some point. That is a loooooooot of work you have done Justine. I can smell it from here! :)
I was kinda wondering the same when the duck came out. How did they clean cast iron back in the day with no running water or steel wool. That would be a Herculean task in and of itself.
This is literally everything I learned and second grade history being played in front of me really neat stuff you guys are doing there was no way I could cook over a fireplace I would definitely catch myself on fire.
Many women did. The coals on the hearth and long full skirts were a dangerous combination. Even cook stoves were a problem. When kitchens, cooking utensils, and recipes started being standardized, one of the things they did was put the stove in a sensible place so you didn't have to walk around it all the time as you gathered and prepped your ingredients.
Its a shame most of school stopped teaching baking, cooking, canning, sewing, basic math, cursive writing, grammar or spelling. They don't teach financial responsibility or budgeting. Our schools replaced skills needed to survive, especially in today's economy with gender and sexuality issues. If a war comes to North America today it Will be much worse than the great depression as most Canadians donot know the basic household skills. On top of that butter is 8 dollars a pound, sugar and flour is so expensive. Maple syrup is 15. For 500 ml. Most people hear do not shop bulk, dont realize how much they can save. They could shop in bulk as multi family shoppers. God bless channels like this.
Watching the two of you together makes me thankful for my husband, my son and my home. How thoughtful of you to invite your landlord to share your abundant meal. Everything looks tasty! Happy Thanksgiving to my Early American friends.
Lovely Thanksgiving table you've set. How funny your landlord turns up just in time for dinner. Sweet video. One tiny note, back in the day, a working class housewife would usually have a second task at hand, like knitting a sock, mending a shirt, making new clothes or preparing food for storage for times she wasn't actively cooking. Doing something along those lines would add to the ambiance, give your viewers anticipation as we watch how some projects develop, and would be in line with a working class housewife's busy day. Women without a maid spent a lot of time keeping their household's textiles in good repair. Any time Ron is at home and not cooking, he would have a second task like carving, casting musket balls, or mending leather items. It was the only way everything got done. Nice video 😊
What a great feast you are having! Justine has done a fine job of cooking and Ron bringing in such a great kill! I think the reason Justine is so tired is she is expecting!!
It’s the clothing, it just makes her look that way. When I wore my costume, my mother-in-law would say, “that’s not very flattering”, and I would say, “no, but it’s authentic!” That’s the sign of a good reenactor!
This far exceeded what I was hoping for. Beautiful meal and table and the coziness of the cabin just makes this a feel good video. You and Ron have out done yourself!! Happy Thanksgiving to you both.
I stumbled on your channel quite by chance, and I am so glad I did! You recreate an often under researched time period in history, and bring such interesting facts and history back to life. Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving!
I do enjoy your channel… my family is spread all over the United States and I shall be alone this thanksgiving. Your video gives me some solace and joy
I am a Malaysian but there's something about your videos that makes me feel at home and nostalgic. I came across your channel only yesterday and I am already addicted to it :)
This lifestyle was so "simple" even though very hard. They lived to survive, and i think it's the true meaning of life. Each day, i try to simplify and minimalise my way of living, and it's really making me happier!
May Jesus bless you guys and give you strong will to endure all this work! I work as a cleaning lady even though today we in general work much easier than before, I sometimes had a lot of work to do, but , and this is just a testimony, when I pray Jesus gives me will and strenght to work!
Justine i have so much appreciation for how much you work as a wife in the home. Being a stay at home mother n wife myself I know how hard it must be on you. I look forward to You n Ron's vlogs everyday! 💜 God bless you both your both so loving n kind hearted . Love from California 💛🙏🥰
This was so amazing 🤩 thank you guys for all your hard work! My new favorite channel. Even my husband watches with me and today he brought me food from the story and said “for you my lady” lol he’s getting into it Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 to everyone!
Happy Thanksgiving! This is pretty much the same feast I prepare every for my family, every year (also cooked over an open fire, in dutch ovens etc...). Sometimes we have roast venison and salmon, or rabbit and quail or goose, depending on the hunt. Thank you so much. Brilliant episode!
Ok, someone else said it!! I’ve been wondering because she keeps tying her apron higher likes she’s covering a baby bump!! Now with the fatigue in this one!! They will have to add a bedroom to their sweet little cabin soon!
I love how this house is decorated in pumpkins. I love pumpkins. I just threw my larger fall pumpkin away today. It lasted almost eight months. My small ones are still going. I have a couple of decorative pumpkins in my living room all year too. It's the perfect primitive accent in my opinion.
EN los tiempos que vivimos dé escasez, no me extrañaría que vuelvan ésas costumbres tradicionales sí quieres salir ADELANTE.... Gracias por vuestra enseñanza. 👏👏👏👏👏
Ευχαριστουμε που μας ζωντανευεις μνημες απο τα παλια οι ανθρωποι τοτε ητα ποιο κοντα στην οικογενεια αγαπουσαν οτι εκαναν και ζουσαν ειρηνηκα και ομορφα .οι συταγες σου ειναι εξερετικες !!! Καλη συνεχεια σε οτι κανεις...
Well of course not. Don't you get it ? They are doing these videos for the public. And how do you know if they don't have the money for sugar ? They said in the video that Ben killed a duck. So just enjoy the video and don't judge.
Wow! Lots of work. And all the wonderful foods. I remember Mom made and baked three pies the evening before Thanksgiving, but she made the other side dishes while the turkey was roasting. It took at least 8 hours for my mom to roast a 24 pound tom turkey in our Welbilt oven. The windows would steam up, and the house was filled with sage, rosemary, bacon and other great smells. That's how I imagined the cabin would smell!
I don’t think people realize how good rabbit is. I’m Italian and grew up eating rabbit. My Nonno would make it into a ragu and we would eat it with pasta. So delicious!
@@Dingdongbingaling I could NEVER EAT RABBIT! SEEMS LIKE THE FAMILY PET! NOR LAMB FOR THE SAME REASON! "MARY HAD A LITTLE LAMB WHOSE FLEECE WAS WHITE AS SNOW AND EVERYWHERE THAT MARY WENT, THE LAMB WAS SURE TO GO." FROM OLD NURSERY RHYME
Rabbits are indeed delicious. Roasted with spinach and garlic, with a cream root vegetables sauce or any other recipe. Although if I can have one, I prefer a hare. It has stronger, more gamey taste.
Happy Thanksgiving from my family to yours!!! You guys have such a warm inviting spirit. I just watch the videos for the sense of family and community. Also I'm cooking right now too. I'm roasting chicken, making candies sweets and collard greens. Oh and mac and cheese.
I am loving your videos and can’t articulate why. I just love the idea of life being like this. It must have been hard work but immensely satisfying. I’ve just finished reading little house in the big woods to my kids so a lot of this resonates.
Amazing!! Reminds me of cooking on the hearth myself! Love history and the old way of doing things! Thank you so very much for sharing and Happy Thanksgiving
As a trained Chef in Germany I saw this video with delight ! Times have changed meanwhile, but to cook these dishes today, we would do it the same way - just with a modern way of heating.
Wifey and me are considering to sell our kids and move into a cabin and live like this as well! Haha, we would love to, but with a bunch of kids it's way more complicated! We are finding a nice way in the middle tho
Try going on a couple only weekend to a cabin. In at one now with my entire family for Thanksgiving and it’s like living back in time. It’s so relaxing. So grateful. Loving god’s creatures and fresh air and beautiful nature.
I learn a lot from watching these videos. I never knew the shovel was for getting the coals, I always used it for getting the ash out. And the masher thingy I have, but use for crushing pills. I did not think to use it for mashing potatoes, I use the wavy wire masher and wind up with lumps, not anymore after watching Justine.
it seems like everything seems so neat and tidy with out wrappers, packaging, plastic cling film and all that sort of stuff all over the place like in my kitchen
I am so excited for this video , I love your videos, the sounds are so satisfying and the food you make looks so professionally done, I am a history nerd so I am into this stuff.
I am so impressed with how Justine can cook an entire dinner in a fireplace!! That was a feast!
Had to they did know Amy other way a coal stove was a luxery
That s what they had those days
@@francesodle6069 You need to proofread before you post.
@@francesodle6069 they didn’t even have coal stoves back in the 1820s
I'm more impressed that they could eat all that between the two of them.

Yes, the fire itself was used to cook over, but see how much of the cooking she does by bringing coals onto the heart and putting pans over them.

My grandma made several dishes at the cabin in the fireplace. I was too young to really learn anything
I thought it was very clever. I didn’t realise that hearths were used in this way and it makes so much sense.
Not exactly but close 😀
after all, the saying "home is where the heart is" originally was "home is where the hearth is"
a hearth warms the ambient, allows you to make basically every type of cooking (boiling, stewing, frying, if you have a dutch oven even baking...), heats the water for your ablutions, even provides light in the evening....

On top of that butter is 8 dollars a pound, sugar and flour is so expensive. Maple syrup is 15. For 500 ml. Most people hear do not shop bulk, dont realize how much they can save. They could shop in bulk as multi family shoppers. God bless channels like this.
You are OVER 100,000 subs!! CONGRATULATIONS!!! I'm so happy for your success!!! Keep on keeping on!!!
Justine is thoughtful, purposeful, effective and slow. I'm like a bull in a china shop, that soot would be in everything. Bravo
😂
Watching the two of you together makes me thankful for my husband, my son and my home. How thoughtful of you to invite your landlord to share your abundant meal. Everything looks tasty! Happy Thanksgiving to my Early American friends.
I’ve watched a few videos just tonight. I truly have enjoyed watching. So cool to take us back in time.
Lovely Thanksgiving table you've set. How funny your landlord turns up just in time for dinner. Sweet video.
One tiny note, back in the day, a working class housewife would usually have a second task at hand, like knitting a sock, mending a shirt, making new clothes or preparing food for storage for times she wasn't actively cooking. Doing something along those lines would add to the ambiance, give your viewers anticipation as we watch how some projects develop, and would be in line with a working class housewife's busy day. Women without a maid spent a lot of time keeping their household's textiles in good repair. Any time Ron is at home and not cooking, he would have a second task like carving, casting musket balls, or mending leather items. It was the only way everything got done. Nice video 😊
Don’t forget chopping wood! Especially with winter coming soon
stocking the larder for the winter ahead as well she needs to do that or they will starve, canning, pickling, whatever what will they eat
Amazing to see how every day task's were done.
What a great feast you are having! Justine has done a fine job of cooking and Ron bringing in such a great kill! I think the reason Justine is so tired is she is expecting!!
I was thinking the same thing 🤣
My first thought too
It’s the clothing, it just makes her look that way. When I wore my costume, my mother-in-law would say, “that’s not very flattering”, and I would say, “no, but it’s authentic!” That’s the sign of a good reenactor!
Everything looks so good - I'll be right over!! 🤩😄🤗💗🕊️🌷
This far exceeded what I was hoping for. Beautiful meal and table and the coziness of the cabin just makes this a feel good video. You and Ron have out done yourself!! Happy Thanksgiving to you both.
I enjoy watching your videos soooo much!! Seeing how the cooking utensils/pots were made from that era is just amazing!😊
I like the cranberry recipe: "add spices till grateful". Appropriate for Thanksgiving!
I love this channel it's amazing! Thank you for sharing!💗💗💗
Awesome channel... What a wonderful escape to our American past....Thank you
This is truly heart-warming and beautiful but I don’t understand how someone feel nostalgic about those times.
I stumbled on your channel quite by chance, and I am so glad I did! You recreate an often under researched time period in history, and bring such interesting facts and history back to life. Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving!
This is definitely a whole day affair and continuous hard work ❤❤
I do enjoy your channel… my family is spread all over the United States and I shall be alone this thanksgiving. Your video gives me some solace and joy
I am amazed too how everything cooked perfectly.
Yum! The place looks so warm and cozy too!
The scene at the end with the landlord was so funny! The flat rock bit made me laugh out loud while I was sitting alone in my living room 😂
I am having a blast with this newly-discovered channel! I have been watched it and I think I've seen almost all the episodes now!
How wonderful to be healthy and be able to cook this old way. Happy life and days 😙💗
I love how you and Ron take me back in time! Looking forward to your Thanksgiving feast 😊
I am a Malaysian but there's something about your videos that makes me feel at home and nostalgic. I came across your channel only yesterday and I am already addicted to it :)
Look how quickly you both took off‼️loving it...😉it has been so fun watching you guys evolve 💕
This lifestyle was so "simple" even though very hard. They lived to survive, and i think it's the true meaning of life. Each day, i try to simplify and minimalise my way of living, and it's really making me happier!
I wish you Americans all a wonderfull Thanksgiving! God bless!
May Jesus bless you guys and give you strong will to endure all this work!
I work as a cleaning lady even though today we in general work much easier than before, I sometimes had a lot of work to do, but , and this is just a testimony, when I pray Jesus gives me will and strenght to work!
Happy Thanksgiving, Ron and Justine! That was a feast for us viewers too and we're very grateful! Thank you! :)
You two are awesome. Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful meal,Justine!
Looks absolutely delectable!
Happy Thanksgiving to ALL the members of “ Early American!”
Justine i have so much appreciation for how much you work as a wife in the home. Being a stay at home mother n wife myself I know how hard it must be on you. I look forward to You n Ron's vlogs everyday! 💜 God bless you both your both so loving n kind hearted . Love from California 💛🙏🥰
This was so amazing 🤩 thank you guys for all your hard work!
My new favorite channel. Even my husband watches with me and today he brought me food from the story and said “for you my lady” lol he’s getting into it
Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 to everyone!
So cute!!
@@BrittneyM7777 hehe thank you 😊
I'm a 37 year old bodybuilder, and I have anxiety. This is very calming, thank you.
Happy Thanksgiving! This is pretty much the same feast I prepare every for my family, every year (also cooked over an open fire, in dutch ovens etc...). Sometimes we have roast venison and salmon, or rabbit and quail or goose, depending on the hunt. Thank you so much. Brilliant episode!
I loved watching! The sounds of cooking remind me of my grandma. It makes me want to take a nap. 😊
I'm thinking miss Justine is expecting . That's why she has been so tired. 🥰
I'm a mama of 3 and recognized that right off the bat! 😆 Great minds!
Ok, someone else said it!! I’ve been wondering because she keeps tying her apron higher likes she’s covering a baby bump!! Now with the fatigue in this one!! They will have to add a bedroom to their sweet little cabin soon!
Yep!
I agree! I was sitting here watching this video thinking the same thing. 👏🥰
I thought that a few videos ago, but I didn't want to assume. ;)
I love how this house is decorated in pumpkins. I love pumpkins. I just threw my larger fall pumpkin away today. It lasted almost eight months. My small ones are still going. I have a couple of decorative pumpkins in my living room all year too. It's the perfect primitive accent in my opinion.
hi, i’m not a fan of asmr, but love watching your channel. i love how authentic everything is. thank you ☺️
Exactly my thinking...And my 7 year old daughter absolutely loves it too!
This is just wonderful!!!! My new favorite channel!!!
Justine is a marvel ... what an amazing cook and all of that done in 1820s style! I also love their landlord, what a character!!
EN los tiempos que vivimos dé escasez, no me extrañaría que vuelvan ésas costumbres tradicionales sí quieres salir ADELANTE....
Gracias por vuestra enseñanza.
👏👏👏👏👏
I can't wait. You inspire me. So glad I found you.
Ευχαριστουμε που μας ζωντανευεις μνημες απο τα παλια οι ανθρωποι τοτε ητα ποιο κοντα στην οικογενεια αγαπουσαν οτι εκαναν και ζουσαν ειρηνηκα και ομορφα .οι συταγες σου ειναι εξερετικες !!! Καλη συνεχεια σε οτι κανεις...
My Greek mother loved to cook.
I've been waiting for this .. Y'all did not disappoint me. I loved it. Your so good at living that time. I can't wait for the next one. 💋❤
Well of course not. Don't you get it ? They are doing these videos for the public. And how do you know if they don't have the money for sugar ? They said in the video that Ben killed a duck. So just enjoy the video and don't judge.
Wow! Lots of work. And all the wonderful foods. I remember Mom made and baked three pies the evening before Thanksgiving, but she made the other side dishes while the turkey was roasting. It took at least 8 hours for my mom to roast a 24 pound tom turkey in our Welbilt oven. The windows would steam up, and the house was filled with sage, rosemary, bacon and other great smells. That's how I imagined the cabin would smell!
I don’t think people realize how good rabbit is. I’m Italian and grew up eating rabbit. My Nonno would make it into a ragu and we would eat it with pasta. So delicious!
I'm English and also grew up eating rabbit 🙂 I have many happy memories of rabbit stew
@@Dingdongbingaling I could NEVER EAT RABBIT! SEEMS LIKE THE FAMILY PET! NOR LAMB FOR THE SAME REASON! "MARY HAD A LITTLE LAMB WHOSE FLEECE WAS WHITE AS SNOW AND EVERYWHERE THAT MARY WENT, THE LAMB WAS SURE TO GO."
FROM OLD NURSERY RHYME
Rabbits are indeed delicious. Roasted with spinach and garlic, with a cream root vegetables sauce or any other recipe.
Although if I can have one, I prefer a hare. It has stronger, more gamey taste.
@@irisscott9488 if you'd rather not eat rabbit, thats your decision :). the all caps are a bit much :).
@@everlyw7892 OH, REALLY! SUCK LICKS AND FLY!! HOW BOUT THAT!?? DROP OVER THE MOON! SING A LOONEY TUNE! DON'T FORGET TO EAT A PRUNE!
One year later still amazing. Thank you for keeping our history alive. Happy thanksgiving!
Oh I loved this! Your French neighbor is a gem....glad he came by to enjoy your wonderful meal!
Can I just say, I really enjoy the near constant stream of verbal respect and gratitude that flows both ways in your relationship?
Happy Thanksgiving from my family to yours!!! You guys have such a warm inviting spirit. I just watch the videos for the sense of family and community. Also I'm cooking right now too. I'm roasting chicken, making candies sweets and collard greens. Oh and mac and cheese.
OMG the absolute coziest peaceful videos I have ever seen!!! Very influential and educational as well!!! I’m a HUGE fan 🩷
I am loving your videos and can’t articulate why. I just love the idea of life being like this. It must have been hard work but immensely satisfying. I’ve just finished reading little house in the big woods to my kids so a lot of this resonates.
I love to watch you cook, it’s so therapeutic. I love all the sounds. Thanks for the great videos and all the hard work y’all do to produce them.
Amazing!! Reminds me of cooking on the hearth myself! Love history and the old way of doing things! Thank you so very much for sharing and Happy Thanksgiving
As a trained Chef in Germany I saw this video with delight !
Times have changed meanwhile, but to cook these dishes today, we would do it the same way
- just with a modern way of heating.
Wifey and me are considering to sell our kids and move into a cabin and live like this as well! Haha, we would love to, but with a bunch of kids it's way more complicated! We are finding a nice way in the middle tho
Cabins are overrated. Get an old farm house. We got one, best choice we've ever made :)
Lol! 😂
LOL!!!
Try going on a couple only weekend to a cabin. In at one now with my entire family for Thanksgiving and it’s like living back in time. It’s so relaxing. So grateful. Loving god’s creatures and fresh air and beautiful nature.
Just need a really big cabin and a really big fireplace 😉
I love that you two found each other. It’s so beautiful and heartwarming 🥰
Just love this 1800’s historical drama! Outlander watch out! If you ever need a neighbor, count me in! Happy Thanksgiving!
I learn a lot from watching these videos. I never knew the shovel was for getting the coals, I always used it for getting the ash out. And the masher thingy I have, but use for crushing pills. I did not think to use it for mashing potatoes, I use the wavy wire masher and wind up with lumps, not anymore after watching Justine.
it seems like everything seems so neat and tidy with out wrappers, packaging, plastic cling film and all that sort of stuff all over the place like in my kitchen
NOPE!! No paper of any kind!! I hadn’t noticed that, but that is kind of nice!
Thank you for adding the amounts of ingredients to the video.
I am so excited for this video , I love your videos, the sounds are so satisfying and the food you make looks so professionally done, I am a history nerd so I am into this stuff.
The cooking method, foods and the clothes are so old-school and i absolutely adore it! The 1800s were a fascinating time.
Not for everybody.🙄
@@Rob774 k
This was so wholesome and entertaining. Thank you very much!
I love watching you two together! You must have a wonderful life together! You two compliment each other so well! Love your videos!
Your channel is really a treasure 🍄🍄🌱
I really love this era and everything in it💗
This is great reminds me of my mom cooking for us when 'we went camping in the 70's
