This is so very good and I love you guys you deserve this in your lives. I want you to try this. Here is my modernly written down version translated from the original 18th century receipt so that those at home can make it: Ingredients: The chicken itself: 2 Cornish hens Plain bread crumbs, 3 cups Parsley, fresh if able, 1/3 cup chopped fine nutmeg, 1 tablespoon the zest of one lemon salt & pepper to taste oil or lard (historically accurate) for frying 4-5 egg yolks For the sauce (don't think that you can skip out on this. You need this sauce in your life!): 3 cups of brown gravy the juice of half of a lemon a good dash of mushroom catsup cayenne pepper, to taste Directions: quarter your Cornish hens, which means cut each hen into 4 pieces. Do not use frozen hens. If they are frozen be sure that they are completely defrosted before doing this. In a bowl combine diced parsley, salt, pepper, bread crumbs and nutmeg. In a separate bowl whisk your egg yolks. Dredge your chicken pieces by placing them first in the egg yolks till thoroughly covered then put into your bowl of bread crumbs, rubbing around until covered well. Repeat until all of your chicken is done in this manor. Have a deep pot of hot oil or lard ready. To test if your oil is ready for frying dip your fingers into water and flick the water into the pot. If the oil sizzles on contact with the water then it is ready to fry. Do not use more than a drop or two of water to test this out for safety reasons. Once hot, fry your chicken pieces for 13-15 minutes. You can fry multiple pieces at once. I was able to fit 4 at a time in my cauldron. Once the time is through carefully remove your chicken pieces from the pot to drain. For the sauce in a pan on medium low heat combine your brown gravy with your mushroom catsup, lemon juice and cayenne pepper and stir till well blended. Have this bubbling gently for 5-10 minutes. You may either pour the sauce on the chickens and eat right away or have the sauce off to the side for dipping. Enjoy! ^_^
The ASMR with text is brilliant. Turning up the volume is a must. I noticed that little grin upon tasting. You guys are cool. Thanks for the content. Sanity in crazy times. 🙏🏻
i just made this for my family tonight (scaled up to feed 6 people) and wow, this is probably the best fried chicken I've ever had. The gravy takes it to the next level.
You know especially after the recent smothered steak video, where not only the sounds of the cooking but a good rain storm with some thunder... I would so love a lengthy video to just put on to fall asleep to...
Ron was so sweet cutting up the chicken for you. He appreciates his sweetheart. The looks and gestures between you two when he left the cabin and you were sitting at door was so touching! Always appreciate each other and never take each other for granted. Y’all have found in each other something so rare in the times we live in! Cherish it!
Yes. I am knowing that someday I will find a German guy just like Ron! Kind, sweet, honest, will dress up in his traditional clothes and a loving sweetheart! ☺️
@@kristopherwright6073 exactly!!people in this comment section really tend to over romanticise the videos and leave reasoning and sense behind for the sake of cuteness when really its not actual reality
I love your videos. They’re relaxing like Bob Ross videos and informational, too. I just love how quiet your kitchen is too. I can feel myself relaxing when I’m watching. My jaw literally unclenches.
It looks delicious. Nice to see people enjoyed great food back in 1796. You're not only showing delicious food preparation, but history. I love good food and history both. Frying in lard. My grandmother on the farm in North Dakota used to fry with lard, and her food was always so good. Lard fried chicken with potatoes. I remember that from over 50 years ago. Great memories. Thank you for the video.
They actually ate very healthy as there were no preservatives jammed in the food like it os now. They only had canning and smoking to preserve food. The chicken looks great and those bones would be fieldstripped.
Me too, my grandparents were farmers, 3 meals a day, starting about 6am. meat, potatoes in some form, or fresh eggs, garden fresh or home canned veggies, depending on season, fruit, and always fresh whole milk, for every meal. Meat cooked with lard, on a huge woodburning cookstove. Kitchen always smelled like yummy food!
@@elliecobb2734 if they were farmers they burned off every calorie they ate. They ate straight from the ground and had a better fiet than we do today. Milk straight from the cows tit theres nothing like it
@@arturgolak9035 I think hunger (especially during winter) is a very good motivator. Now.....we just have stockpiles and the Government provides incentive to overproduce. But........why are there so, so many hungry in our country? Just very disheartening.
This looks absolutely delicious! It reminds me of the ice storm we had in February. The electricity was off a couple hours and I was hungry. By candlelight I mixed flour, shortening, an egg and enough milk to make a batter. I placed an iron skillet on some hot coals from the fireplace I’d sectioned off and added the batter to the melted butter in the skillet. Those pancakes were looking delicious until I decided to spray a can of aerosol cooking oil into it. I almost singed off my eye brows but I ate pancakes that night!
Yes, it's a serious fire hazard to spray cooking aerosol on an open flame, or to squirt lighter fluid or gasoline onto a standing fire. The flame travels up the spray or spew, and will explode the container. With outdoor cooking time coming along, ER rooms see many avoidable burns, and worse, from this practice. DON'T.
So cool! I put my cast iron in my fireplace and cooked up some chicken and onions for tacos :) we even tried popping popcorn. It worked ok but my pots weren’t made for a fireplace.
Hell-o Justine, I have been watching your channel for months now. I must say, I think you are an amazing cook! It has surprised me what wonderful dishes could be made long ago on the hearth. Love your charming cabin and the warm relationship that you and Ron have. Enjoy the stories, too! Thank you both!
Do you know what I am absolutely amazed at? Your amazing ability to tend the coals at the exact heat you need. As a camper who cooks outdoors, I wish I could do that!
I find this soothing. What is really cool is I can smell the fried chicken, because I'm cooking it in my kitchen with mashed potatoes and fried green tomatoes from the garden. Great video.
I don’t know how the heck I came across this channel.. But this channel relaxes me to the point that I can get some sleep at night.. it’s been a while, thank you and keep up the great work.. love your videos. ✌🏻🇨🇦
Looked delicious I'm craving fried chicken now, also if I may recommend. Next time when you're breading any food, try the dry hand wet hand technique. Use one hand strictly for the egg wash and the other hand for the breading. I find doing it that way, you won't have those clumpy fingers and your breading stays cleaner as well.
I never thought I would like videos like this but happened upon yours. Now I can’t get enough of them!! I just love watching all your amazing recipes. Thank you for all the hard work and time you put into these. ❤
Wow! The chicken looks amazing! I'm glad you showed us your chickens outside. I know there here for the long haul but, I still worry about them every time you make a chicken dish. Lol And who would have guessed the sauce would have mushroom catsup as one of the ingredients.🤣🍄
Well that's dinner sorted for the night then, I was gonna have a sandwich but now I've gotta dig out my Dutch oven. Edit: that "Yep, nailed it" smile at the end was great.
I luv what u r doing! Please don't stop bc of negative comments. U r bring back a realistic earth friendly way of living and moral values. I mean people getting back to family and communities and not an instead gravitation world we have now.
I just discovered you guys a few days ago but man I love this channel and I love what you do. You guys are the cream of the crop and I could watch your videos all day long. ❤️
Reminds me of growing up on our farm Ne in the 50's, not of "grid", but definately rustic compared to todays kitches. These similar type of dishes and meals. Most of our kitchen items were from the grandparents, so early 1900's. Many of our items were considered antiques but they just seem like the every day utensils and cookware to us.
I watch many utube channels about gardening, food preservation, sewing & quilting, etc., but your channel and Ron’s channel are the two I watch just for fun. I love them. I love history, especially American history and I love the cooking history you present. I have 4, gr. gr. gr. grandfathers who all fought in the American revolution. I also have one home raised chicken left in the freezer that I’ve been trying to decide if I’m going to grill or fry. Guess what I have decided! Blessings from Idaho, TeresaSue 👋🏻
A couple of years ago when I learned how bad processed seed oils are, I started buying olive and avocado oil for cooking, and more recently lard for frying and pastry crusts. It's amazing how much better the flavor is when frying in lard. And as a really nice bonus, when you make pie crusts with lard and are rolling them out, you don't get splits at the edges. The dough just stretches as you roll.
I love this channel so much. Can you please do one with the fried chicken, white rice and buttermilk biscuits dinner in the near future, please? I was told that that was a real peasant meal back in the day for hard-working men, soldiers, hunters, etc. that is guaranteed to satisfied hungers in a time of need.
Would they have had rice back then in Colonial America? I know they had tea and spices, but how common was rice as a staple, since it had to be imported from Asia?
I really love that there is no talking at all. It's as if we're secretly peering in on the life of an average, unassuming 18th Century housewife, just trying to eke out a living on the harsh frontier. I love it. You've got something really special here, and I'm glad I could take part in it.
Love the little looks and gestures between you- so sweet! Justine, you certainly know the way to Ron's heart! That chicken looks sooo good; Can't wait to see the Chew and Chat when Ron takes that first bite! Love you guys- from CT
I love seeing this show, when I was 5 I remember going to my grandpa’s and he didn’t have electricity and he had to get water from a well. He had a wood burning stove.
That looks delicious. I can taste it from here. You didn't say how long you let it deep fry in such a setting as that. Funny, eh? ....that no-one in the 18th century thought of opening a fast food chain that sold only fried chicken!!!
I LOVE THIS CHANNEL!!! I think I like it so much because she is slow with movements.....shows everything from start to finish. Also, heartwarming to see the husband and her. I used to LOVE cooking. But not anymore. I am in a long slum. Hate the Hamberger helpers and mac and cheeses. I would like to be in this time period. My parents lived off the grid when I was growing up. HUGE white cook stove, would heat water....all cast iron. In a way makes me sad to have strayed so far from knowing where everything came from. Please keep up the excellent videos! I made a chicken thingy that was made on another video. The one with the gravy Bacon wrapped around two chickens. And the story behind the recipe.....just really, really showed to love of the recipe.
This looks beyond delicious. I am going to a nearby organic meat market on Sat. for some chickens to can and will definitely make this dish. And I am enjoying the different style of head coverings Justine. Thanks so much. In Joy
I find your videos relaxing. I feel like we are glimpsing back into history and seeing what life was like back then. The chkn and sauce look delicious.
!Que bonito lugar, tranquilo, junto a lla naturaleza,!comida exquisita! Y la cocina con su fuego de leña,! necesitamos un lugar así muchas mexicanos!! saludos desde Cuernavaca México,!
You should watch the BBC's historical re-enactment shows, featuring Ruth Goodman and Peter Ginn. They cover historical eras from the 1200s to World War II, showing how people lived, dressed, farmed, cooked, and ate. Some methods stayed the same for centuries. The railways had the biggest impact of all, even bigger than the internet.
@@SiberianIce2022 I believe breaded fried chicken has been traced to Scottish immigrants in the America’s. But frying chicken has existed all over the world for who knows how long.
I love watching you cook, Justine. The sounds of the kitchen really are comforting. I've noticed when I'm cooking after watching a video I take time to be in the moment and enjoy the process of cooking for my family. Thank you for sharing these wonderful videos.
Looks great! Going to make this myself! My ancestors came over before the Revolutionary War. As part of the Virginia Colony. We have chairs, books, coal bin and tables from early 1800s. No one is allowed to touch. Lol. I do have cast iron but not sure of where they were gotten. I don't get to use them often. I don't want to scratch the glass stove top. But I'm doing this fried chicken recipe for sure. What is mushroom catsup?
@@kathrynpupos9103 usually when I do use our cast iron I use it in the oven, grill, or an open fire. I just don't get to do it as often as I would like.
This is the life❤❤❤I cherish my younger years living in the country, I remember my mum cooking over a fire, dad and brothers out in nature hunting or getting food from the forest, bush, paddocks❤❤❤❤I remember us riding horses, swimming in the fresh water streams❤❤❤love watching these videos cause they remind me of those great times❤❤❤❤
We cook a lot of food on the wood stove at our off grid deercamp, but I love this fireplace that has room to pull out coals and cook. Where can I find one of those pots you fried the chicken in? So cool, thanks.
Oh, gosh, I used to love fried chicken and other fried foods, but there is nothing in the world that would make me prepare fried foods at home with the most advanced deep fryers, etc., much less like this on a hearth. Grease splatters everywhere! How do you keep things cleaned??
I know right I worry she is going to start a fire; she places the rack very carefully and uses a small pot and adds two pieces at a time, she is very careful using the long spoon thing to take them out. its all in the skill of things
@@mickeymousey1239 Yes, she is very careful and methodical. Personally, though, I am not keen to make fried foods regardless of the tools at hand. It is too much of a mess. In my old age, I want less to clean up than ever before! (LOL)
Hi there! Im new to your channel and love everything about it. I have a few questions about it all. Is this full time living for you both? Do you grow and harvest all of your own food? Do you practice 1800 medical practices? Just curious because of how legitimate your whole set up is. I absolutely love your content. Thank you for sharing.
I'm so glad you asked these questions! I just found this channel a couple of days ago, and I was wondering the same thing. Do they live like this full time, or is it just a fun hobby that they do on the side of a modern life. If it's full time, how off the grid are they? It looks like there's a community of people that do this, but other than the Amish, I had no idea that people were living this way, following how our ancestors lived in the old colonial U.S. It's amazing! I would love to see a video with a full tour of the farm and cabin.
They do have modern lives outside this cabin. They rent this cabin/land. But I remember a post where Justine said they were looking for land in the area to purchase and build a permanent home. And be able to live this lifestyle more.
Hi Justine. I think your videos on early American living are fantastic. I enjoy watching you put together a meal from scratch. Please ignore those who don't understand the quiet life of cabin living. There's no need for music of any kind while you go about your chores and meal preparation, unless you want to add it in. Thank you so much for bringing the past to life for a history buff like me.
The scene with the chickens is so endearing as is the one where you both hold hands and smile tenderly before Ron departs. I'm waxing poetic today, but 'tis true (geez).
I am dealing with being diagnosed with RSV right before thanksgiving. I almost didn’t want to cook this year or do anything. This is the night before and I have planned a wonderful meal to share with my mother who is also sick. I need some prayers and good thoughts. This channel gave me a little peace before I drift off to sleep thinking about what I’m making tomorrow. Health is so important and a simple life is so beautiful.
Recently moved into a little tiny house, or what was a 2 story barn shaped structure in a backyard. It’s been built out normally but seeings how there’s no room for much I’m forced to begin a new kind of life and the nature of these videos gives me such inspiration to reverse time and be happy about it. Thanks!!
I made this not with a cauldron but iron skillet. I used doterra lemon and put it in the eggs. I love: nutmeg in it, .parsley in, I cooked it 15 minutes on each side then put it on aluminum foil for 20 minutes on 300 degrees. Wow, my grandma always cooked it on top of the oven then in oven. Nutmeg and lemon I could smell and wow tasty. Thanks for the lesson.
I cannot imagine having to do that in the summertime, especially in the deep South where it's 100° with 70 and 80% humidity. That house is a sauna! I've always wanted to make a campfire/wood cooked meal like this though.
They cooked outside or in Summer kitchens. Most farm houses in the Midwest had Summer kitchens. It does get very hot & humidity in the Mid West too. Summer kitchens for most were wide porch additions with screens. A Hoosier cupboard, a cook stove, cream separator, large table with benches or chairs were typical furnishings.. During the heat of summer, canning, cooking, meals were done here. They were useful for feeding field help( threshing crews,etc). It helped to keep the heat & flies directly out of the house.
I swear watching you cook in such a calm environment always helps me to destress if I'm anxious or depressed. Thank you for these videos - they help to ground me.
so nice, the fire place in the cabin in the woods like that with that small cauldron with frying chicken, wow, this stuff you see or read about in fairy tales. I love cauldrons and collect miniature cast iron ones.
Okay... this isn't even fair!! Making me watch you make this incredible looking fried chicken and awesome sauce... Just torture me why don't you?!! Lol Love your channel and have watched all your episodes over and over ... This channel and Frontier Patriot... Including all the drama episodes ... Please do more!! You two are the cutest couple ever and please keep going!! Keep the receipts coming!!
Im definetely going to try recipe for chicken.. Never tried nutmeg before.. Looking forward to it.. And will let you know. Blessed be to Our Father. May he continue to bless you. Love from AZ❤
I have the exact same iron skillet with the wooden handle. I bought it as part of a set over 30 years ago. They're indestructible. The chicken really does look delicious. And Justine's so pretty in her summer outfit and hair held back with the scarf.
This is so very good and I love you guys you deserve this in your lives. I want you to try this. Here is my modernly written down version translated from the original 18th century receipt so that those at home can make it:
Ingredients:
The chicken itself:
2 Cornish hens
Plain bread crumbs, 3 cups
Parsley, fresh if able, 1/3 cup chopped fine
nutmeg, 1 tablespoon
the zest of one lemon
salt & pepper to taste
oil or lard (historically accurate) for frying
4-5 egg yolks

Y'all's videos are so nice and quiet. Please don't ever change that!
Who knew I would be binge watching this content. Excellent telling of history
I really love that there is no talking at all. It's as if we're secretly peering in on the life of an average, unassuming 18th Century housewife, just trying to eke out a living on the harsh frontier.
I love it. You've got something really special here, and I'm glad I could take part in it.
Love the little looks and gestures between you- so sweet! Justine, you certainly know the way to Ron's heart! That chicken looks sooo good; Can't wait to see the Chew and Chat when Ron takes that first bite! Love you guys- from CT
I love seeing this show, when I was 5 I remember going to my grandpa’s and he didn’t have electricity and he had to get water from a well. He had a wood burning stove.
That looks delicious. I can taste it from here. You didn't say how long you let it deep fry in such a setting as that. Funny, eh? ....that no-one in the 18th century thought of opening a fast food chain that sold only fried chicken!!!
I LOVE THIS CHANNEL!!! I think I like it so much because she is slow with movements.....shows everything from start to finish. Also, heartwarming to see the husband and her.
I used to LOVE cooking. But not anymore. I am in a long slum. Hate the Hamberger helpers and mac and cheeses. I would like to be in this time period.
My parents lived off the grid when I was growing up. HUGE white cook stove, would heat water....all cast iron. In a way makes me sad to have strayed so far from knowing where everything came from.
Please keep up the excellent videos! I made a chicken thingy that was made on another video. The one with the gravy Bacon wrapped around two chickens. And the story behind the recipe.....just really, really showed to love of the recipe.
That looked fantastic Justine. Looks like a great recipe. Thank you
I will try this recipe! My husband loves this kind of food! Well done! Always love seeing the loving relationship between you and Ron!
This looks beyond delicious. I am going to a nearby organic meat market on Sat. for some chickens to can and will definitely make this dish. And I am enjoying the different style of head coverings Justine. Thanks so much. In Joy
A video where she shows all the different ways she wraps her hair would be fun! It could be a how-to, so we can do it, too.
I find your videos relaxing. I feel like we are glimpsing back into history and seeing what life was like back then. The chkn and sauce look delicious.
I truly enjoy your videos, they are so satisfying and wholesome, plus the bonus of some great food recipes from the past! Keep up the good work!
You two have it made in the shade! Looks like you absolutely love each other, and love the way you're living. Totally awesome! 👍🙂
!Que bonito lugar, tranquilo, junto a lla naturaleza,!comida exquisita! Y la cocina con su fuego de leña,! necesitamos un lugar así muchas mexicanos!! saludos desde Cuernavaca México,!
Thank you for sharing this peace and calm. It’s much needed
It never occurred to me how far back foods like this go in history 👍
🙄🤔🥱
I would imagine in Europe.....go back much further.
You should watch the BBC's historical re-enactment shows, featuring Ruth Goodman and Peter Ginn. They cover historical eras from the 1200s to World War II, showing how people lived, dressed, farmed, cooked, and ate. Some methods stayed the same for centuries. The railways had the biggest impact of all, even bigger than the internet.

I believe breaded fried chicken has been traced to Scottish immigrants in the America’s.
But frying chicken has existed all over the world for who knows how long.
@@majorlazor5058 I wonder why Scotts made that modification. Of course, I am now thinking of the "Scottish Egg" seems to be a Scottish thing.
I love watching you cook, Justine. The sounds of the kitchen really are comforting. I've noticed when I'm cooking after watching a video I take time to be in the moment and enjoy the process of cooking for my family. Thank you for sharing these wonderful videos.
Oh my goodness. That looks delicious 😍
yes specially the dipping part
I love how lovingly they look at one another so sweet
I just love your channel so much. It’s so soothing 🥰 Thank you for the great content!
I absolutely love this. So peaceful and humbling
Looks great! Going to make this myself! My ancestors came over before the Revolutionary War. As part of the Virginia Colony. We have chairs, books, coal bin and tables from early 1800s. No one is allowed to touch. Lol. I do have cast iron but not sure of where they were gotten. I don't get to use them often. I don't want to scratch the glass stove top. But I'm doing this fried chicken recipe for sure. What is mushroom catsup?
Use your seasoned iron skillets over your grill rack. Or set up a rack over your fire pit. Personally, I'd not want a glass cook top.
@@kathrynpupos9103 usually when I do use our cast iron I use it in the oven, grill, or an open fire. I just don't get to do it as often as I would like.
This is the life❤❤❤I cherish my younger years living in the country, I remember my mum cooking over a fire, dad and brothers out in nature hunting or getting food from the forest, bush, paddocks❤❤❤❤I remember us riding horses, swimming in the fresh water streams❤❤❤love watching these videos cause they remind me of those great times❤❤❤❤
We cook a lot of food on the wood stove at our off grid deercamp, but I love this fireplace that has room to pull out coals and cook. Where can I find one of those pots you fried the chicken in? So cool, thanks.
The pot can be found at Samson Historical. It comes in 2, 5 or 8 quart sizes.
I love how slowly and quiet you move whelping your cooking. It's so relaxing and enjoyable to watch.
I think there should be more funny interactions between the two of you. I still love the beginning of the ice cream video 🤣
I drove 12 hours to get to my vacation spot and I’m lying here by the ocean watching this!!! I’m content. I love your videos!!❤
I didn’t realize they had video back in 1796. Wow, great find and the quality is amazing!
Oh my goodness! I should NOT watch your channel when I am hungry. Having this tomorrow for dinner. Thanks for the modern receipt. Love your channel.
This looked so good and sounded so crispy! The chicken looked like little cornish hens.
Just the sounds of the kitchen are so lovely....but the love put in to making this meal is extraordinary
Oh, gosh, I used to love fried chicken and other fried foods, but there is nothing in the world that would make me prepare fried foods at home with the most advanced deep fryers, etc., much less like this on a hearth. Grease splatters everywhere! How do you keep things cleaned??
I know right I worry she is going to start a fire; she places the rack very carefully and uses a small pot and adds two pieces at a time, she is very careful using the long spoon thing to take them out. its all in the skill of things
@@mickeymousey1239 Yes, she is very careful and methodical. Personally, though, I am not keen to make fried foods regardless of the tools at hand. It is too much of a mess. In my old age, I want less to clean up than ever before! (LOL)
I love every episode! Very soothing and wonderful way of helping us feel like what it was really like being there! Hugs and Love you two!
Your videos are my refuge! Would love to know more about this mushroom catsup, struggling to find a good explanation online :)
Go search mushroom catsup from J Townsend (19th century cooking) on youtube
There's an episode of tasting history on the history of ketchup that talks about it. Search "white ketchup"
Your Kitchen is Beautiful !!!💕💕💕
Thank you ! 👏👏👏
Looks amazing! Is there a video for the mushroom catsup? I've seen it in a lot of your videos I would love to try it 😋
A search should yield a few videos, but I recommend Townsends. Their store also sells it.
@@kirkvoelcker5272 Unfortunately we don't have that store in Canada but maybe I can find something like it. Thanks for the info 😀
The birds singing as you prepare the meal so relaxing!
Hi there! Im new to your channel and love everything about it. I have a few questions about it all. Is this full time living for you both? Do you grow and harvest all of your own food? Do you practice 1800 medical practices? Just curious because of how legitimate your whole set up is. I absolutely love your content. Thank you for sharing.
I'm so glad you asked these questions! I just found this channel a couple of days ago, and I was wondering the same thing. Do they live like this full time, or is it just a fun hobby that they do on the side of a modern life. If it's full time, how off the grid are they? It looks like there's a community of people that do this, but other than the Amish, I had no idea that people were living this way, following how our ancestors lived in the old colonial U.S. It's amazing! I would love to see a video with a full tour of the farm and cabin.
Following!
They do have modern lives outside this cabin. They rent this cabin/land. But I remember a post where Justine said they were looking for land in the area to purchase and build a permanent home. And be able to live this lifestyle more.
@@lynnbetts4332 That's really cool, thank you!
Hi Justine.
I think your videos on early American living are fantastic.
I enjoy watching you put together a meal from scratch.
Please ignore those who don't understand the quiet life of cabin living. There's no need for music of any kind while you go about your chores and meal preparation, unless you want to add it in.
Thank you so much for bringing the past to life for a history buff like me.
I see that you watch Jim Gordan as well, great chooses.
🐴🐎
I always love watching you guys💕
The natural sounds in the kitchen while cooking ❤💯
You make it look so easy God bless you and thank you
I love how every time you take a bite of what you’ve just cooked, you smile.
The scene with the chickens is so endearing as is the one where you both hold hands and smile tenderly before Ron departs. I'm waxing poetic today, but 'tis true (geez).
the hands the casual work the warmth of home and inspiration from gratitude.
I am dealing with being diagnosed with RSV right before thanksgiving. I almost didn’t want to cook this year or do anything. This is the night before and I have planned a wonderful meal to share with my mother who is also sick. I need some prayers and good thoughts. This channel gave me a little peace before I drift off to sleep thinking about what I’m making tomorrow. Health is so important and a simple life is so beautiful.
Thank you for showing us the way it was!❤ I can see how my grand parents lived!! God Bless you!😇
The way you guys look at each other was so sweet and wonderful it made my eyes water up instantly, I adore that!!!!
Recently moved into a little tiny house, or what was a 2 story barn shaped structure in a backyard. It’s been built out normally but seeings how there’s no room for much I’m forced to begin a new kind of life and the nature of these videos gives me such inspiration to reverse time and be happy about it. Thanks!!
I made this not with a cauldron but iron skillet. I used doterra lemon and put it in the eggs. I love: nutmeg in it, .parsley in, I cooked it 15 minutes on each side then put it on aluminum foil for 20 minutes on 300 degrees. Wow, my grandma always cooked it on top of the oven then in oven. Nutmeg and lemon I could smell and wow tasty. Thanks for the lesson.
Pre-ground nutmeg!!??! You would give John the vapors! Good job as always. Love you channel.
Omg I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that Ron cut up the chickens. You guys are the best, seriously!
So nice seeing the love between you two. Great fried chicken video!
I cannot imagine having to do that in the summertime, especially in the deep South where it's 100° with 70 and 80% humidity. That house is a sauna! I've always wanted to make a campfire/wood cooked meal like this though.
That was my thought when she shut the door! I guess it's either hot in the kitchen or buggy! I don't think they had screens back then.
They cooked outside or in Summer kitchens. Most farm houses in the Midwest had Summer kitchens. It does get very hot & humidity in the Mid West too. Summer kitchens for most were wide porch additions with screens. A Hoosier cupboard, a cook stove, cream separator, large table with benches or chairs were typical furnishings.. During the heat of summer, canning, cooking, meals were done here. They were useful for feeding field help( threshing crews,etc). It helped to keep the heat & flies directly out of the house.
1796 was off the chain when they learned to make fried chicken! Thanks for sharing. 😄👏🏽💪🏽
Your videos relax me after a stressful day. Thank you.
That looks delicious 😋! I love fried chicken with lemon and parsley.
I swear watching you cook in such a calm environment always helps me to destress if I'm anxious or depressed. Thank you for these videos - they help to ground me.
so nice, the fire place in the cabin in the woods like that with that small cauldron with frying chicken, wow, this stuff you see or read about in fairy tales. I love cauldrons and collect miniature cast iron ones.
Such a relief to take a break from the world modern sounds. Nice to just listen to the sound of Life, cooking Oh yes. This is amazing, thank you.
Okay... this isn't even fair!! Making me watch you make this incredible looking fried chicken and awesome sauce... Just torture me why don't you?!! Lol Love your channel and have watched all your episodes over and over ... This channel and Frontier Patriot... Including all the drama episodes ... Please do more!! You two are the cutest couple ever and please keep going!! Keep the receipts coming!!
Excellent Justine!!
I can’t have deep fried foods but that looked oh so delicious!! 🐓🍗
Im definetely going to try recipe for chicken.. Never tried nutmeg before.. Looking forward to it.. And will let you know. Blessed be to Our Father. May he continue to bless you. Love from AZ❤
I have the exact same iron skillet with the wooden handle. I bought it as part of a set over 30 years ago. They're indestructible. The chicken really does look delicious. And Justine's so pretty in her summer outfit and hair held back with the scarf.
