- Lovin Off The Land is our 365 Day Challenge to only Eat what we Catch, Grow or Raise.
This week we forage for seaweed in The Pacific Northwest (Bladderwrack and Sea Asparagus) and show you how we prepare it to eat.
Hello from a Vancouver Island fan! You two are freaking awesome. I hope you don’t take the negative comments to heart. You know what the Internet is like these days. I love what you’re doing ❤️❤️
Thanks so much. Appreciate the nice message. The good messages far out weigh the bad so we try not to let them bother us ❤
Wicked Cool! Really enjoying your channel! 👍
i love your when you guys sharing all your experience to us
Well done…most likely by the end of your 365 days challenge there will be a complete change in your lifestyle and both of you are happy
Oh yes. We are definitely going to keep going with it
Thanks for sharing. Kitchen hack: Next time if you put your Bladdewrack on a cookie sheet with parchment paper its alot easier work work with.
I was going to say the same. The air fryer takes up a lot of power inside an off grid home.
I love seaweed i do go to seaside sometime to get them good idea to put it in freezer and cooked later thanks for sharing I’m new to your channel. God bless..
You guys are so funny, I love your videos!!
Thanks Keka ❤

Healthy snack and awesome Food guys
It is easier and quicker to just use a large spoon to get the juices and fat. Also, if you use a bit of the juice with the fat to cook the vegetables in. It adds even more flavor compared to just the fat.
That said, it was delightfully amusing watching you and hearing your husband's enjoyment in watching you 😄
Just found your channel, great info and fun to watch...
Was I the only one mentally screaming, "JUST USE A DAMNED SPOON!" while she was trying to use that baster?
I was wondering the same thing
Omg looks yummy food
I did not expect to view an extended Turkey Baster Struggle Session lmao
Haha. Neither did I 🤣
A lot seaweed Chris .. yumm Make snack
me encanto el video
I had sea asparagus 2 years ago via misfits market and its a fave veggie! I wish i could find it here!
For the fat.... in a hurry put the bowl in the freezer while its separates it solidify for your... if you have time to spare! Put the bowl/jar in the fridge...it will solidify and separate and you will get ALLLLLLL the fat... just crack the surface with a spoon and it comes right out... and you have the chicken stock left after you take out the fat!
the cooking is painfull to watch, lol. im digging your channel excellent work with all the food you are harvesting , very impressive
I'D FREEZE IT AT LEAST 48 HOURS because some critters are durable enough to last a simple overnight freeze.
Then run it under warm water to defrost enough to handle.
Where did you get your dehydrator? I am on the hunt for a good one.
Lucky have a lot food around u and Awesome try
Can you harvest both throughout the year or are they seasonal? And if seasonal, when? Plus, what about Red tide?
Just new to your channel! Where do you get all the water to service your irrigation system? Rainwater? Well? You must use a lot!
We are definitely currently using too much water right now. We currently also have 2 small rain barrels and are super excited that we have a 10,000 litre water storage tank coming next month
Why didn't you thaw the seaweed in warm water instead of ripping it apart when frozen?
wow ... i never thought u could even get sea weeds into ur list of ..."never done this before "
Put the bowl inside the pan and everything you spill will end up in the pan, then when you are done, just wipe off the bottom. And a large flatish spoon to scoop the oil off the top would be quicker and easier for her.
If you ever need to cut drywall, give her a skill saw to do it with.
Freezing on cookie sheets then placing into freezer bags seems to work for me!
That's what I came here to say! I do the same with cooked chickpeas and beans. Once frozen, transfer to the bag. It's saved my kitchen worktop a lot of pounding over the years!
can you take that sea asparagus and take it back and grow it?
I’m sure I taught you how to baste Stef …didn’t I?
ha ha ha ... that was truly stressful 😪
is there a reason the chicken was cooked upside-down? better fat rendering?
Great question!!!! Yes. Its cause the crispy skin is one of our few treats so we cook it upside down. Cut off all the skin on the bottom, then flip it and back in the oven to crisp the other side :)
@@LovinofftheLand Makes sense :) using all the bits
The food Make me hungry
How do you make the sea salt?
I don't think they actually made it. But if you want to make it yourself. You just go collect seawater in a large jar. Let it sit for a day or two. Check to see is you caught any sealife (guaranteed you did unless you had a cheese cloth over the top of the jar while collecting the seawater) and strain them out while pouring gently into another jar. Now you can just cover the jar of sifted seawater with a clean peice of cheese cloth and set out in the sun to evaporate completely leaving just the salt behind for you or you can boil it down til all the water is completely evaporated leaving nothing but the salt behind.
However, I would not recommend doing this as it is well known fact that the most polluted seawater is right along the coastlines!! That is from the beach to 20 miles out to sea.
Or freeze in thinner layer
The giggling throughout the video is very irritating and childish and sounds like a 10-year-old doing an adult thing. Please re-do this video! Ugh!!
You need to go get therapy asap
