    Maw broon is a character from a famous Scottish cartoon called our Wullie (and the Broons) that started way back in 1936 in a newspaper. A lot of us were brought up with it here in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

    When. Making hand. Pies use leftover biscuit dough. Add a little more flour to make your dough stiff. Then use apple pie filling. Then fry in cast iron skillet. Make sure you roll your dough very thin, addd a good T. Spoon of pie filling. Fold over wet edges thin crimp with a fork. Fry in cast iron skillet till brown in a little lard. The best fry pies ever.

    I remember when we brought a bloated sheep into the house.
    Took a knitting needle and inserted it between 7/8 ribs & let the gas out of the sheep (what a smell).
    Let her out the back door porch & she ran into the barn (300 ft.) away, in record time.🐑

    I wondered if Maw Broon was the Maw Broon from the Scottish Sunday Post newspaper. The Broons were a cartoon page in the paper every week. They were meant to be a family in a Glasgow tenement. So not a real family but much loved in Scotland! Amazing that someone sent you the book!

    I live in the North of England, but I'd never heard of Maw Broon until this video. I'm so intrigued that I've just ordered a 2nd hand copy and can't wait to sit down with a brew and look through it. Also, I use a pastry cutter like that. It was my mum's and i remember watching her use it when I was a little girl and I'm 60 now. Given that I'm the youngest of 8 and my eldest sister is approaching 80, that cutter has been well used and whatever mum paid for it, was definitely money well spent. Things were made to last in those days.

    I love the fact that you keep it REAL LIFE. You could have edited out the hand pies after you said they didn’t turn out, but you didn’t. I think your ‘rustic’ pie looks awesome and so do the hand pies. Mine have done that more than I care to admit 🤣 I learn so much from your channel. Not just the information you share with us, but how to handle things when they don’t turn out how we intended and we adapt. How to give ourselves Grace. How to enjoy the beauty all around us from the food stained recipe books to the glorious sunrises or diamonds twinkling on the snow. Thank you

    “Pay close attention” is such a big truth…intuition is a gift from above…some people being more ‘tuned in’ than others. And, I so agree that motherhood is a great place to develop that skill 💖. I think that’s why women are better at intuition. It will be interesting to see if the one that you found to be “really pregnant” will start her labor after her startling experience with the sheep shears! (that would surely do it for me)😅😂. Your new living room is soooo inviting -- & beautiful to peek at.

    Love Haggis if done right. The trick is in the seasoning. And must have a rich gravy.
    Traditional dinner for January 25 which is Robbie burns day.
    Roast beef, carrots, and neeps( turnips), haggis with gravy, and mashed potatoes or roasted potatoes. A good traditional Scottish meal.

    • @kimmcvitty3580
      @kimmcvitty3580 8 місяців тому

      Try your haggis with a whisky sauce next time! Double cream, dijon and whole grain mustard and whisky. Delicious. In Scotland we dont have roast beef at the same time as haggis . It is a frugal dish but the seasoning makes it. Enjoy!

  • @elysiana8889

    I have the same pastry cutter. I actually used it yesterday for making pies. And I cracked my mixing bowl in the process. It was a plastic one, not very clever but normally I don't use the pastry cutter in that one. This time I doubled the recipe for piecrust and the only bowl big enough was the plastic one. Big stainless steel mixing bowl was added to my amazon shopping cart :)

    I am so happy I saw this video! I admit, I was multi tasking when I heard your pie crust recipe with vinegar. I had lost my grandmother's pie crust recipe years ago and have never been able to duplicate it, but know that it had vinegar and she used vegetable shortening and an egg. She actually originally got the recipe from "Hints from Heloise" which was a newspaper food column in Ohio. I listened again, without multitasking but you do not say how much water to mix with the egg and 1 TB vinegar. I am so grateful for your terrific videos. As someone who also has a short growing season (Western WA State), I listen acutely to your gardening suggestions and follow a ton of them. Again, thank you!.

    Hello Chelsea. Interesting that you shear your sheep when they are in lamb, never heard of that being done. We have a small sheep farm and have just started lambing and hope to have around 12 sets of twins and 40 single lambs. Ours are Welsh Mountain sheep, very hardy. The singles birth outside whatever the weather, and the twin mums stay in the barn until they give birth then are put in bonding pens for a couple of days before being turned out into the nearest field to the barn. Good luck with your arrivals.

Used to be one year 'Oor Wullie' then the next was 'The Broons' until they joined them together and are still going to this day. Was Maw Broon, Paw Broon, Granpaw Broon. Their children were Hen, Joe, Daphne, Maggie, Horace, the twins and the Bairn (baby). Sorry I've run on a bit there. Thank you for the video x

    That animal intuition thing definitely is real. I don't have livestock now but I grew up on a hobby farm and we've had chickens, cows, horses, dogs, and all kinds of pets and rescued wild animals. I do now however have 3 dogs and I pay super close attention and just know ... if I think it is time for a vet visit... it's time for a get visit. There's only been once I have spent money to go to the vet over the past decade that there wasn't anything medically amiss that I thought there was. Every other time has been a check up or something wrong that I caught at the beginning before things got worse. The vet can't believe how accurate I am either. And one of my dogs has had a lot of issues over the years (we just had a cancerous tumor removed 2 weeks ago). The amount of issues has significantly diminished since feeding a raw diet, but any animal can get sick and its amazing how often I am accurate

    I am wondering if the zucchini bread was more like scones because the water was drained so well from your frozen zucchini. When cooking with FRESH zucchini, all the water stays in. I feel like the recipe was expecting more liquid in it. I know when cooking with frozen spinach, it is a very good idea to drain the excess water for things like quiche. (Ask me how I know.) But perhaps in this application, the moisture can stay, or maybe some of it can stay? Just something I was thinking about while watching. Thanks for all your amazing videos. I knew I was going to love your channel, the moment I found it.

    You did a wonderful Rustic meal today. Yummy! Maybe it didn't live up to your visual desire, but I'd bet money it was tasty!😅 I don't know if you're aware of this baking tip or not, but I've been doing it for years. When baking batter breads, cakes, or brownies, after I put batter in my pan, I lightly tap the bottom of the pan against my counter. It spreads it out a little flatter and supposedly takes care of air pockets. My products always come uniform in shape and size, and insides are not pocketed.
