    The fact that he is making his own birthday cake is amazing. I love when he questions the tablespoon to teaspoons conversion. “How sure are you? There’s a lot at stake here!” I absolutely love that. My husband has a hand full of meals that he knows how to do and I LOVE LOVE LOVE when he decides he wants to cook dinner. They are far in between but highly appreciated. He knows how to do one dessert and makes it maybe once a year. Which is completely okay. I’m not a huge fan of sweets. He has the sweet tooth in this house. It’s not only nice to not have to do it but having him just in the kitchen with me is nice. I too do all the cooking and preserving so I know how lonely it gets being alone in the kitchen for what seems like forever. It’s nice seeing Josh in there with you! ❤

I am having so much fun in the kitchen for the 1st time ever. I have a lot kitchen knowledge & am more intuitive than I realized. You are probably the 1st person I began watching at the beginning of my new journey. I love your videos!! You're down-to-earth, you cook other people's recipes, you speak in layman's terms, you're organized, frugal, educational & motivated. Girl, you make me tired with all your projects. 😅 Amazing!
    I would like to see how to videos on freezing techniques (what & best practices) as well as a video for making homemade broths. Keep doing what you do & sharing it all. I'll continue to follow. Thanks & God Bless!! 😊

    Becky, a suggestion for when you are adding cream and milk, if you are using the same measuring cup/glass, add the cream first, then pour the milk into the container that you had measured the cream in, because the milk will help get the rest of the cream out of the container you had used.

    I'm SO happy to see that you include kids at your dinner parties. It's such an important way to teach and reinforce table manners and behavior from a very young age. My kids could point to what they wanted from a menu at 2 and could verbally order their food by 4. Having them at dinner parties allow for a private talk away from everyone, when the kids may get too loud or rowdy at the table. Whereas, that's a little harder to do at a restaurant when there may be other kids acting out.
    It looks like a beautiful spread of food, drinks and great company!! Happy Birthday Josh!! 😊

That way that layer was also seasoned and with the egg would swell up a little to fill layer or manicotti noodle. Just a suggestion. This is how I was taught! We learn from seeing others do. There are so many ways to have a wonderful outcome! Find what works for you. I enjoy seeing simpler ways. They all have their different tastes. I say try them all!!! Find what works best for you!

    When creaming butter and sugar, we were taught to get a little bit and put it in a glass of water. When its creamed right... it floats.. If it sinks...keep beating.. Love this video and love the fact that Josh is wanting to make his own cake or even just cook in the kitchen.. way to go!! Awesome video as usual Becky thx and Happy Belated Birthday to Josh and Happy Easter to all who read this. 🐇🐰

      How interesting. Does doing this mean that the butter and sugar are now fully incorporated together and are now smooth?

      @@joandavis8818 Yes, the sugar would be largely dissolved by that stage, allowing the mixture to become lighter as the 'creaming' takes effect. This creaming process not only alters the beginning weight ratio but also traps a little air throughout the mix which together results in the mixture floating and not sinking.

    What a lovely video, the two of you are adorable. Just a heads up on something you might find helpful- Roses need to be cut and *immediately* put into water. They begin to develop a sort of scab within 60 seconds of being cut, and this prevents them from drinking, and therefore shortens their life. If you prep your containers with water and floral food before hand and place the roses in directly after being cut they don't have a chance to develop that 'scab' and you can enjoy them for longer :)

      My mother used to “smash” the end of the rose stems with a meat mallet to have more pores open to soak up the water.

    I am late to the birthday party so belated Happy Birthday to Josh. I just wanted to comment that everything turned out beautifully and is that not the best? To see your vision come alive and you get to share that with your family and closest friends. That is what life is about. Love, celebration and a great meal! I enjoyed watching how the planning organization and all of the components came together so that instead of being stressed you could get things done and enjoy the party yourself. Thanks for sharing all of it.

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOSH WITH, you did a great job! With my Bosch, I just dump and mix ingredients, no need to dirty extra bowls.
    When I make bread, the Bosch cleans the sides, so after shaping loafs, I just throw in cookie ingredients in and mix up. ( Also I can make 1 loaf bread, a few buns, pizza crust, and a few Cinnamon Rolls out of same recipe)Since I have the oven heated, I bake the cookies after the bread items.. Easy clean up Takes no time to have a weeks baking done in 1 1/2 hr.
