    Not talking about charity or donations is not just a British thing, it is a humility thing.

    You and Charlie are just the best. I appreciate that you not only provide such wholesome content for us to watch, but that you do good in the world without the need to announce it. I really admire and respect that about you. merry Christmas Irons!❤

    Charlie is correct about not storing champagne in the fridge. It becomes too cold and cork dries out. A few days is okay but not weeks and months. Also, maple syrup and golden syrup are not the same. Josie is doing her usual substitutions which affect the final product. Well done doing a shout out for Foodfare. A great charity to support x

    My grandparents were substance farmers and we barely ate store bought produce when I was growing up. While we ate our fair share of meat, most of which we grew ourselves, the majority of our meals were vegetarian. Sadly I did not inherit their gardening abilities or the gardening ability of my dad so I just have to do the best I can with store bought. I do try to gardening I’m just terrible at it. My husband eats sooooo much processed food but he will not listen to me so c'est la vie. 🥺

    Pop the dough back in the fridge after you have cut them, tray and all, this will definitely help the none spreading. Lovely video Josie.

    Lovely to hear you mention Fare Share, not only do they prevent food waste, but they have excellent schemes to help enable disadvantaged young people to re engage with learning, life skills and work through their charity the SOFEA project. I used to work in a pupil referral unit with teenagers who were very vulnerable, some who had truly had terrible luck in life, who were removed from main stream education for whatever reason, and I saw first hand the incredible work the SOFEA project does in helping build their confidence through volunteer work in their distribution centres and helping them access careers support and qualifications. A fantastic charity who tackles food waste whilst supporting the community. Thank you Josie for acknowledging them. 🥰

    I just love your gingerbread people, Josie and those candy canes or Js. Love watching you and Charlie, you always inspire me to do something positive after watching your videos. Can't wait to hear how your egg nog ice cream turned out. Thank you for mentioning the charities, I find it a good thing, how else would I know I could help give back by putting the video on repeat a few times? Giving is a gift we give to ourselves. Merry Christmas!

    Hi Josie, thank you for your content. Although I sometimes feel like being on an homeshopping page, I really appreciated your todays approach of checking the ingredient lists and start comparing. I believe that it is so very important for all of us getting into the habit checking what we exactly put into our bodies. Same thing with medicine. You are an influencer and I really find that this is a very good influence which may even lead to save someones health or life. Please excuse my english, I am German and live in Germany. Have a very merry christmas. Lots of love Alexandra

    @jellyfish6796 7 місяців тому +3

    I think yr gingerbread cookies look great. Ginger is useful for many things, digestion, nausea, chop up into smaller pieces and freeze them for hot teas, summer drinks and spicy dishes.❤Also keeping dough already flat in fridge reduces cookies from spreading and keep their shape as they bake.

    Loved this video. When you look at the food we eat in this country, it's no wonder everyone is tired all the time and obesity is a problem. Well done to Charlie for shopping local and trying to keep away from the supermarkets who do not have our best interests at heart. Asda have started covering some citrus fruit in Apeel which you cannot scrub off, and Tesco are also doing a trial. Look it up because it is not good and most people are unaware. Thank you for educating us all about our food.

    • @rebeccarendle3706
      @rebeccarendle3706 7 місяців тому

      Apeel is a lipid ie fat obtained from living plants. Generally grape seeds. The lipids are a byproduct of eg making grape juice. It is not harmful.
      Don't listen to the propaganda! .. read and learn the science!
      You should be more worried about the plastic you are eatting in all products kept in plastic..or even in lined tins eg. Sweetcorn in tins...some research showed it came out in pee for 3 days after consuming tinned sweetcorn.

    Lovely vlog gastronomique !
    Christalized ginger is full of vertue indeed. My late beloved yoga teacher who also was a herborist used to prepare for us clementine-candied ginger skewers as a vitamin boost and treat for winter season! They are delicious.
    The best way to add candied ginger to an ice-cream is to knife chop it into tiny bits and add those at the end to the mixture to have tiny spicy bites in your ice cream.
    Thank you for the idea of lemon -candied ginger tea! Will try it right away. Ginger is so boosting and energising.

    You can try pointing the light to the ceiling (if its white), it will give a more natural look. Another option is to buy a reflector it will bounce of more of the natural light, if you put it at an angle between you and the window. Or try a softbox if you want natural looking light inside when its dark, you can also try putting a white cloth over the led lamps to soften it up.

    It's OK to keep champagne in the fridge for a few days but not longer as the cork could start to dry out and spoil the wine......at least that's what I've been told in the past.....I so love your vlogmas intro, the music is lovely and it is serving ultimate cosy, christmas vibes...

  • @maureenrose9771
