I’m glad meals are a special time in your home. It should be for more people. Such a great time to visit and really be in touch with each other! You two are sure a great team!! Be proud of what you have gotten done!
We just had a new clutch put in our tractor and some type of cable. It was pretty expensive. People don’t realize how much money it cost to farm. You’ve got me wanting to make bread and egg salad. 😊
Thanks for sharing your day. I tried some of the Meal in a jar recipes in the Ball canning book and we really liked Beef Stroganoff and Beef stew. I wanted some emergency meals put ahead but I seem to be using them up for lazy meals! I haven't used any of my canned tomatoes yet because I also froze a bunch at the end of the year and want to use them up first. Summer lasted a long time here in South Central Illinois and it has been warm so far.
I would like to can some meals in a jar this year. I’ve actually never done any before. I am so glad I canned so many tomato products because we are going through so many lately.
I have frozen raw egg yokes and whites separately and used them for custard and meringue later on and it’s worked fine. I will have two ziplocks on the go and keep track of the number in each with a sharpie. Eton Mess or trifle are good and affordable desserts to use them up.
Hi there. I just found your channel today. I am enjoying your videos and it warms my heart to see young folks like your self living the way y,ou do, we are retired now and just bought 70: acres of land, I am so excited for our next stage in life. Thank you for your channel, 🇨🇦🌷
Thank you for sharing… I would like to know if you have made a video re. the kitchen sink. I think you said that it belonged to Ben’s grandmother. I’d be interested in seeing the process of how it was installed onto the table. All the best with your future projects.
Yes, it was Ben’s great grandparents sink. We didn’t. Ben built the sink base last winter when I was sick and he didn’t film the process. He built the outer part of the base that you can see, doubled braced it underneath since it’s so heavy, and the sink is secured to it. I hope that makes sense.
1st time viewer. I subscribed. Great video. I would like it to be louder. I got it open all the way, and I don't have a hearing condition. My husband can't hear you. You have a lovely voice. Thank you for being on. We live nearer the Alabama , on the Tennessee side. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Perfectly cooked eggs! I always overcook mine a little bit, discoloring the yolks. How many minutes do you boil yours? We ended up never using our water glassed eggs because our chickens never stopped laying either. I ended up scrambling them and feeding them back to the chickens. I did try freezing some. I heard they were great for baked goods - this turned out not to be true for me. I ruined a cake with them that I was baking for a Christmas gathering. They did turn out to work fine to use as poached or fried eggs though.
I boil mine for 12 minutes and they come out perfect every time. I will have to get creative and figure out how to use up all our water glassed eggs because I refuse to let them go to waste, lol!
Great video i have just found you. I have a glass loaf pan and i have a trouble getting the bread out as it stuck. I decided to use it for meat loaf instead. Being English we call it a tea kettle rather than pot. We dont really can as a nation but there are some who have homesteads do. Im looking at canning meals and meat. It will help having many disabilities. I would love a digital electric canner but i cant get it imported here. Im too afraid to use a pressure canner. Fear due too a gas explosion in a campervan. The instant pot here does can but it only takes pints 4 at a time. There is my son and me. Would a pint of chicken or mince be enough for 2? Sam uk
Hi! 👋🏼 Thank you so much for watching! Typically when canning meat you can fit 1 pound of meat in pint jars. It is just my husband and I and anytime I can meat I can it in pint jars. 1 pound is usually plenty for us.
Would you do grocery haul videos? I would like to see how you shop with a homestead. We have a homestead and this year my goal is to not buy as much from the grocery stores.
I’m glad meals are a special time in your home. It should be for more people. Such a great time to visit and really be in touch with each other! You two are sure a great team!! Be proud of what you have gotten done!
I used to make bread all the time.i love it! Looks beautiful!
Thank you!

They really don’t. We dread seeing the bill, lol!
Its called "pop! fly trap" and you get it from tractor supply, it works on our fly issue

Great video! The bread and soup look delicious! Ben's knife sharpener looks like it would do a great job also
Thank you! He loves it! He has been sharpening knives for everyone, lol.
I love your videos! Much love from Germany to Kentucky
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoy them. ❤️

Why do you wash your eggs? If you don't wash the bloom off them you can store them on the counter and they'll last longer. Just curious.
We only wash them because we sell them. Usually they have some chicken poop or dirt on them and if they’re dirty people won’t buy them.
What kind of plant is that.?
It is a Fiddle-leaf fig tree.
Would you do grocery haul videos? I would like to see how you shop with a homestead. We have a homestead and this year my goal is to not buy as much from the grocery stores.
Great idea! I will add a grocery haul to my list of video ideas!
I really love your videos showing the farm life.
Glad you enjoy it! 😊
