    My husband and I came to St. Genevieve on Monday, August 7, 2023. We visited the lovely downtown portion of the city as well as the museums. It was worth the drive from Texas. Thanks for the invitation.

      @@elainefarley1895you can’t, but it is the precursor to baking soda, just use a little baking soda. I saw on the Townsends recipe they used a half tsp baking soda for 3tsp pear ash. They said u have to burn down a bunch of trees to do it, they must of bought it in their town, or made it themselves

    My 4th great grandfather was 9 years old when he came from Germany on The Thistle to Philadelphia Pennsylvania. He traveled to North Carolina in the early 1760s and settled about 4 miles from where i live today. I also wondered how they traveled so far in tiny ships and then traveled by wagon from Pennsylvania to North Carolina. We definitely had adventuresome ancestors. Johann Jacob (Griesemer) Creasamor

I bought a home during the housing crisis there and my real estate agent that helped me look at houses told me she was a descendant of Pochahontas...a great-great-etc granddaughter. She was quite a lovely lady, too.

      Hello, love you videos. I couldn’t help but think that while you were reviewing the honey cakes and a few other recipes you mentioned that the cakes were quite dense. I know that modern day wheat has much more gluten in it than older wheat varieties have. Baked goods have more lift but they can be gooey too. With that thought in mind, have you thought of making maybe a small sample of a recipe with a wheat variety like Einkorn? Or a similar variety? Einkorn wheat has never been hybridized or gmo’ed.
      I love making historical recipes that I find. Sadly I can’t eat as many baked treats anymore.
      Wish you the best with the house build and the upcoming wedding.

    You two are so funny! I was surprised when John Townsends name popped up towards the end, I love their channel as well! I'm going to see if my local library has a copy of that cookbook, I want to try to make some recipes. I make some of the ones that you present on the other channel as well, I just make it a low carb version. My favorite season is Fall and my birthday is in Fall as well! I'd just been depressed over the past few years, but I have a handle on that now and am working on mind-body-spirit healing, including eating more wholesome whole foods that I make myself, including deserts and snacks and making it sugar free and carb free (my doctor made me as I'm pre-diabetic/insulin resistant and I need to keep glucose stable and its helped me drop lots of weight as well without meds). I'm even learning to use real whole foods as remedies and finding what works for my body. I used some coconut butter on my mosquito bite that was driving me crazy (its on the side of my foot) and it actually helped. Hoping to visit St. Genevieve in the Spring or Fall of next year, especially for that festival you talked about, it sounds lovely! Maybe someday I can move there, it sounds like a kind of town that I would enjoy, but probably wouldn't be for 1 to 5 years. At least I could visit. Have a lovely week and look forward to watching more of the videos on this channel, and looking forward to more cooking videos! I really enjoy how you put those together.

    Send rain to Texas! It's been 104-108 degrees for the past month and a 1/2!

    Wish I could make the trip, esp. For Halloween. My favorite time of the year as well, Justine. 😊. Love captain cluck, I had a wee guinea hen that color. He is quite a handsome fella. Love this episode, it has put me in the mood for Spooks day, and I think I will work on a version of your honey cakes. God bless.

    I've read that in the 16th century Citrus arrived with European explorers. I was happy to know you are in Missouri. I'm a Missouri gal born and raised in Columbia MO. I had family in El Dorado Springs and grew up loving to fish and loving the country and learning gardening and eating fried polk stalks and catfish😀
