Justine's Cat Taxi at your service for all of your feline transportion needs! You can find images of the original recipes (or reciepts as they used to be called) at the end of the video. If you have any questions please drop them below and I will try my best. Probably the most commonly asked question that I get is, "how would they have had lemons in Missouri?! Lemons don't grow in Missouri, especially in winter." To that question I wish to present one back to you. Do lemons grow in Missouri even in 2024? If not, then how are you able to buy them at the store, even during winter? It is the same now as it was back then. Lemons, which ship exceptionally well and can last for months when storred properly, are grown in warm climates such as Florida and are then are shipped up to wherever they need to go. You would then purchase it from market. In our modern age citrus fruits are often picked 6 months before they even make their way to a grocery store. Also, while it may be cold up here, down where such fruits are grown it is not so cold and it is still possible for produce to be grown throughout the winter season. Many of the cookbooks that I source these recipes from are published in Boston or London, places of whom are even farther from tropical climates than Missouri. In fact, the cookbook that this pear tart is sourced from was published in London in 1822 and was intended to be purchased by those of the "middling class" (which is the time's equvilant to the middle class that we have today). It is titled, "The Frugal Housewife" and mentions the word lemon 54 times throughout its pages.
Mashed Trunips (The Frugal Housewife, 1822)
2 Turnips, peeled
2 tablespoons of Butter
Salt to taste
Peel and remove the heads off of your turnips. In a pot cover them with water and boil till soft, or around half an hour. They are done once a fork easily passes through them. Mash well with salt and butter.
Pear Tart (The Frugal Housewife, 1822)
3-4 medium sized pears, cored & sliced
1 lemon
2 tablespoons of sugar
A top & bottom pie paste
Gently simmer your cored and sliced pears in water with the zest of 1 lemon until tender, or about 10 minutes. Remove the pears from the water but be sure to keep the water that they were boiled in. Lay a paste at the bottom of a tart pan. Sprinkle over it 1 tablespoon of sugar. Now lay in your pears. Over the pears squeeze in the juice from half of a lemon and sprinkle over it 1 additional tablespoon of sugar. Lay a top crust over it and crimp the edges. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 30-40 minutes.
To Stew Red Cabbage & Sausages (American Domestic Cookery, 1823)
1 head of red cabbage, cored & sliced into ribbons
1 tablespoon of butter
2 tablespoons of vinegar
Salt & pepper to taste
Sausages. The quanitity of your choice
In a skillet over medium heat melt some butter then fry up your sausages in it till done. Remove the sausages from the skillet, reserving the drippings. In the same skillet, again over medium heat, add your cabbage and cook till soft. Once soft add salt, pepper & vinegar. Cook for an additional minute only then serve.

The sounds r sooo calming for me😊🦋💜
DId kittys wear collars in 1820?....lol
@@mac11380Yes actually based off of paintings and mosaics we know that cats and dogs were wearing collars going back thousands of years.
@@EarlyAmerican Well, learn something new everyday! Thank you
I couldn't imagine having to do all this being pregnant or have 3 or 4 toddlers running around or feeling sick.Yet women do this daily still around the world.
Well I mean your unmarried brothers/sisters and your husband would be there to handle that. Men weren't distant father's in the early 1800s. They had key roles in the family to play with and discipline kids.
I think younger ladies and older ladies would have helped from time to time and would have been great social time well spent.
Imagine yourself single then.
I would love to see you clean up after dinner ( washing dishes, drying) and getting the kitchen ready for the next day
I would be interested to see the cleaning and care of cast iron. If there is any difference between how it’s done today. Thanks!
Ron and his sneaky, sheepish smile after taking some of the food when Justine wasn't looking 😅 so cute!
All of my skillets are cast iron. Some were passed on to me from generations of passing down. I use them daily! You're right about being heavy. I'm 4'11" and weigh 95 lbs. I can sling those things all over the kitchen. Oh and I'm 70.
I salute you 2:27
Hope I can still sling my skillets in 10 years
I would set my dress on fire! And burn myself daily 😂
I schlep mine around the kitchen but its much beloved despite its weight and the fact that you can't really use soap to clean it
I grew up with cast iron skillets, and I have one in my possession now, but I can no longer really use them due to rheumatoid arthritis. 😫😢
Who else is watching this at bedtime to wind down?!👋
Meeeee 🙌🏾
Me 😅
😂That kitty has a Sweet Life.Simply Beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
😂
Justine you are truly a lady of the old west as you fought that skillet ❤
I watch your videos and my BP goes down. Thanks you!
I know turnips were a staple because they were easy to grow…as I little girl on my granny’s old farmstead in Arkansas, I never liked cooked turnips but I loved to eat them raw. Drove that poor woman NUTS!
I’m the same way, I like them uncooked, same with cabbage
My family adores turnips. Especially my girls. I have never tried them, mashed. Sounds delicious ❤.
@@kimholch1006 mashed turnips are not that great but raw ones are. Love raw turnips and haven't had them in years.
I like them pickled or raw. Turnips get too sweet when cooked.
My grandmother made Turnip Slaw when I was a child!! Very good 👍👍👍👍
HAHAHA Ron being on the sly with the bite of sausage and then smiles to the camera!! Adorbs! Nice move.
LOL - No words needed. Wonderful sight and sound of cooking the old American way. Thank you.
That meal looks BEYOND delicious!!!!
Mish Mish sure is one spoiled putty tat! 😊
Erm, anyways, a meal like this looks and sounds absolutely perfect right now! We just got done having four days of nonstop rain here in southern California, and nothing goes better with that cloudy, chilly weather than large plates full of warm, heavy food! 😋 Thank you both as always for all of the work you put into your videos! It's deeply appreciated it!
EDIT: 11:33 Ron, you sly dog! 🤣
Grown kiddos in So Ca, you all stay safe ♥
@@keahithefieryone8513 Will do, thank you! ☺
I'm on the Central Coast and it's STILL raining here! Justine's cooking is just wonderful! I'm STILL thinking about her chicken casserole. I was drooling!
Loved how Ron breaks the fourth wall when Justine is acting a little agitated. What are you reading, girl?😂❤
You must be so warm with fire chilly today looks so delicious too!❤😊
Justine's Cat Taxi! So funny.
Such a classic pear tart. Timeless, beautiful and I’m certain delicious. Thank you Justine.
My night-time viewing is complete, love your content. Best wishes from the UK
Turnips are awesome!!!! And of you leave them in the ground until after a hard frost, they're sweeter! I love them raw, cooked, mashed....maybe I should try them roasted!🤔
You absolutely should try roasting turnips. I use olive oil and a little salt and pepper. They become very sweet. Small ones I cut in half, larger ones into chunks.
The only thing that I must comment on is that by the time the
and then try grilled or in a roast
Everything looks really good-especially the pear tart-it’s nice to Ron helping out with the cooking😄
Wow girl! That tart in the Dutch oven, inside, and the way you handled the fire…Impressive!! You are such a good cook!! And you pull off looking pretty while you do it too 👏
Thanks for another great video and a wonderful looking meal!
My family’s dog just passed away today and I’m watching this before bed to calm myself down, thank you guys 🧡
I am so sorry. Losing a pet is hard. I hope in time you will find another one to love. It took about 2 years for me after we lost our dog of almost 14 years. Now, we have a wonderful puppy boy we have had for almost a year.
Thank you for the great videos as always!
Wonderful meal! But I tend to think thats why ladies rarely smiled when picture taking, just cooking a meal was even hard!!! Plus congratulations on your marriage to each other, cant wait to watch ! 💞
A winter comfort meal! I still make this all the time in exactly the same way! Timeless receipts. Thanks Justine. And Ron, everyone saw you sneak a bite of sausage! LOL!
Nice! Love mashed turnips during the winter. A great alternative to tired potatoes, with a slight kick and more nutrients. Also, great roasted with just simple salt, pepper, and a bit of roast beef.
The food looked really good. Stay awesome.
Imagine all of the wonderful meals cooked in that old skillet!
This all looks so good. EXCEPT the cooked turnips. I LOVE turnips raw, but I can't stand them cooked. And yes, my mom was a good cook and she fixed them a lot, but I never would eat them so she always let me have some raw. 😉 But then again, I have never eaten them mashed, so who knows?? Maybe🤔
Some like to mix the cooked turnips with some rutabagas and yukon gold or russet potatoes, coarsely mashed together 🙂 ?
Can even put ribboned leafy greens in too. And some meat drippings, au jus or veg broth - especially also broth of yellow onion skins boiled for 10 or 15 minutes.
Love your cat taxi and mmmmm those sausages look really good!
Boy...They ate very well back then!
Justine, you are amazing as usual. I love the channel! Keep up the good work!
Love cabbage so much will even eat sauerkraut cold.
Another great cooking video, you make it look so easy but I know it’s anything but. Thank you for all your hard work, I really had no idea how people cooked 200 years ago until I started watching your videos. I like the way you’ve added Ron helping with the cooking, seems only fair that he gets to help seeing as how he loves to eat on the chew and chat. 😆😂😁God bless.
Your so skilled! I can tell that you love what you do and we love learning from you! 🌷🌷🌷
WOW !!!! You make everything look so delicious and easy.😊
I absolutely love your channel. Thank you!
Yummy. This meal looks delicious. Think you for sharing it! ❤😊❤
Sausage/cabbage, pork/cabbage, bacon/cabbage omgosh it's so good! I go home to Hawaii my mom knows I want Sausage ( Portuguese) and cabbage, love you mom R.I.P..
your channel brings me peace ❤
I love Mish Mish so much! He reminds me of my kitty, Lovey, that was all black and lived to be 19. I think black cats are good luck and wonderful! I also love how happy you always seem when you cook. You can tell its a labor of love and not just for viewers benefit. I have an antique cookbook from early 1900's, that was my great grandmother's. Thank you for what you do!!!
If you're Scottish or Irish , the impromptu arrival of a black cat at your home, means prosperity!
Ahhhh the luck o' the Irish 😊
I got your Christmas reply the other day. Thank you so much for taking the time to reply to everyone. So kind of you. 😊
Erin Stover
Love this looks delicious ! ❤
Not a fan of turnips but that recipe will work for other root vegetables for me… the red cabbages and sausages is one of my favorite meals! Looks delish!🥰💕❤️👍👍
So,so enjoyable....thank you!
Love the new episode guys ! Always a true pleasure to watch and learn and reflect on a better time
Perfection! Absolutely love it. Enjoy!

This meal looks absutely amazing! Great job, Justine!
That dinner looks devine! So colorful. I’m going to make it and add sauerkraut on the side!!! Thanks❤️.
A hearty winter feast! Tried and true recipes that last the test of time.
Hello, you two made my evening and the sweet 🐈. The fun, scenic, peaceful atmosphere and delicious food is just so inviting to watch! Thanks for posting these videos! Take care & blessings!🙂
I love to see Ron cooking too! I work while my husband does the cooking and hes so good at it! Ron also looks like he can cut a mean cabbage!! Lol. Justine makes me laugh how she can add a bit of humor handling that heavy pan!! I just love her. What a great couple!! Thank u for fantastic videos
This looks like a very filling meal!! I think Ron will enjoy it also! Blessings.
What a perfect meal! Prepared with such care and love.
I love, love, love this channel! I really love history, and this is so well done. Close to a time machine.. The sounds of the cooking and the fire are so nice. And the food always looks delicious.❤😊
I so agree!!
The sneaky sausage bite… LOL
With all due respect Ron you have yourself quite a beautiful lady and her cooking is set apart . I bet her meals taste as good as they look. Take care you two , God bless . I sure enjoy these videos you all put together.
So pleased I came accross this channel, I love to watch the early methods of cooking., from England ❤
I've just discovered y'all... WOW! One of my favorite vacations was Old Williamsburg. That was 30+ years ago. We need to return. I just LOVE watching y'all and the crackling fire just makes it feel like I'm right there. THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep it up please!!!!
Love watching these videos. I have made a few of the recipes and have been so tasty. I will be trying these. Outside is extremely windy and pouring with rain, so this comfort good will be welcome!
My Oma used to make this for us all the time. i love it. didnt think that the recipe was that old. awesome !
The sausage and the red cabbage looks delicious! I will have to try. Great video as usual.I like to see Mish Mish riding on the wagon! David Back.
Great handling of that heavy skillet!!!! Dinner looks very good. ❤
I thought maybe I was an odd ball loving these videos so much until I looked at how many people subscribe to your channel!!!!!!!!! Can you imagine telling a family from 1820 that people subscribe to watching people live their lives how they did every day and become so fascinated with it. They would be like 😳🙃.
Beautiful prepared meal🤤 Puts to shame tonight's tuna fish and buttered French bread of mine...
Justine, another beautiful meal . I love your recipes and everything about your channel. I am a super fan and I tell everyone about you. I love mashed turnips, also mashed rutabaga, and mashed parsnips. They are all wonderful root vegetables, all on their own, whichever one one of them I decide to make , I make them the same. I peel them boil them and then use my electric mixer with real butter and salt and pepper. I don't even know which is my favorite, each one is so good.
But I also like to make a root vegetable casserole, that is so amazing. And when you made the mashed turnips it made me think of a recipe that I will share with everyone.
Peel, slice and partial boil;
Turnip
Parsnip
Rutabaga
Carrot
Sweet potato.
Partial boil so they do not fall apart layer in a large casserole dish.
Slice up a stick of real salted ebutter and insert it all into the casserole. Salt and pepper the top.
Sprinkle pecans all over top
Spinkle brown sugar all over the top (half cup-whole cup depending on how big your casserole is). and a tsp of cinnamon. Some people like a tiny bit of powdered clove like a quarter tsp.
Bake at 350 until the vegetables are soft, and break with a fork. the pecans and brown sugar will get a crisp up as it cools a little. The salt and sweet in the casserole and the mixture of the roots, just make an amazing dish.
Looks so good, Justine! Loved every minute as usual. You are glowing and not from the cooking. You'll be a beautiful bride. May you and Ron be blessed and I'll see you next week! xoxo
Love this meal. My family loves everything you cooked... Looks wonderful❤
Back in the day when FOOD WAS FOOD!! And everything looks so delicious!
Greetings from Montana 😊❤👋🇺🇸 Mish Mish looked like he was an Egyptian god being carried around in his chariot! 😂🤣 Another delicious frontier meal!! Thanks, Justine! 😊🇺🇸😊🇺🇸😊🇺🇸
First time commenting here !!, love your channel and the peaceful and quietness of it, and the cat !!……….. your techniques using the methods of old like you do are really interesting !!!, and congratulations on your upcoming wedding !
Beautiful! It looks like a delicious meal! I love sausages and cabbage, too.
Thanks for this good video,, I love the old recepts greetings from the Nederlands.
I’ve just stumbled upon your channel today and I already love it. While I love modern convenience, there’s a charm to this.
I always enjoy watching the full dinner videos. As someone who's often too lazy to cook for myself, these videos help motivate me to get back to cooking full meals again.
Yum.. Love red cabbage with sausage. Turnips are hard to find so I use rutabaga. Such a wonderful hardy meal in winter! Love your cooking videos Congratulations on your coming wedding!
I eally like the way you prepared both the sausage and the cabbage. Never occured to me to brown/fry cabbage with a little butter. Must have riched up the flavor. Cooking cabbage with a little vinegar makes perfect sense. I'll have to try making both your way. Thanks for this video!
Haha when he snuck a bite. 😂
This meal looks so delicious! And I love the MishMish taxi service! Lol! 💕😼
I can’t tell you how much my golden retiever enjoyed this video 😆❤️
Oh, yum❣️ Mashed turnips looked interesting. Great presentation and most entertaining. 🙂👍
Looks so good as always. Good to see Ron and Mish Mish in the video. Sneaking food Ron! for Shame! Justine will get sme serious muscles with that pan in the house ❤❤
I think I’d try anything you cook. I don’t think I’ve ever had turnips. I love pears so the tart looks wonderful. Watching the chew & chat that I’ve missed again next. ❤
Justine, my kids and I never miss an episode! We ❤️ your content!!
Everything looks so tasty! And MishMish looks like he enjoyed his ride!❤
Lovely winter dish!
Oh, my gosh! You two are such dorks, and I love it! 😂 Ron's face while watching Justine read, then when he sneaks a bite of sausage was classic!
Love your videos, they’re very soothing 🌻
I just cracked up when you were tossing that skillet. So funny😂
I love you guys and your videos!!
So cute you giving your kitty cat a ride. Nice to see Ron helping you. Your food looks delicious like always.👍😊❤️
Watching this channel, for me, is how some feel about watching Bob Ross.
It's peaceful, comforting. She teaches you so much & doesn't even speak. (I know she can & does.) It's just so good.
Wow, that looks amazing! I’m going to have to make this soon.
So yummy! I, too, love cabbage and sausage in winter (albeit, vegan sausage). There's nothing better!
Love the "SAUSAGE" bite Ron!!! Absolutely classic!!! I bet that was really good!!!
Looks great Justine and No doubt, it's delicious. Justine's Cat Taxi...😹
You are so funny Ron ! Your food looks wonderful Justine.
