You know the best part of your videos isn't what you do, it's what you don't. You don't run your mouth constantly like a lot of UA-camrs do. You say just enough and let the pictures show the rest. If there are recipes for making videos yours is the best.
Tipper tell Matt we used to cut our own wood and I have watched my dad split wood with his axe but I have never seen anyone split it in a tire before. I think that is really a neat way to do it. I love these videos everything from family time playing music to watching you make potato salad. I need to watch Matt sharpen knives more my dad always done this I am no good I SURE need practice. Well y'all have a good week. Hopefully staying warm it's supposed to get pretty cold in the next few days. Deb
Absolutely wonderful video, just like always! My daddy and his knife were inseparable and he kept it so sharp he could split a hair with it. After he died I found whet rocks all around the house. Talking about potato salad, you are so right that you can find a hundred different ones and they all are a little different. My daughter's grandmother in-law said her mother always mashed her potatoes first and then added the other vegetables and condiments. I make mine a lot like yours, but I don't use mustard because that is the way my mama made hers. I never remember tasting a potato salad I didn't like, though. Watching your family do all those different things made me think of something the old preacher Vance Havner used to say after his wife died. He said if God would let him live another day with her it would not be a day of celebration or vacation, but just a plain old ordinary day. After all, most of life, and mostly what we love, are just plain old ordinary things.
the intro and music had me grinning from ear to ear, remembering my dearest of friends who was a handsome, sensitive but wild and physically forward man from North Carolina and my time living there. my heart smarts from a thousand memories, lovely video
That potato salad looked scrumptious! Your videos have a charm of their own, meaning your attention to detail, consideration of content and how you treat that with a genuine reverence of all your subject matter that you bring to us in your videos. As always, you have our genuine thanks and gratitude for the time, effort and love of Appalachia that you bring to us.
I've got my mama's button box...its about 60 years old that I know of...don't use many of them, but I add to it from time to time. Sometimes I just run my fingers through all those buttons wondering where they all came from. ❤
It’s so soothing. Life is so hard here in Southern California. So disconnected from the earth. Your videos help me enjoy things that I ought to be experiencing. Quiet meal preparation. Food 🍱 grew up on but now people out here are shamed for making like bacon, and biscuits and gravy. Thank you for your work.
Sorry... I live here in California and it’s wonderful... I’ve never been shamed for anything, lots of our restaurants serve biscuits and gravy, and damn good chicken fried steak too... yes you should move... to a different part of the state. You’re as happy as you want to be... WVa - Scots -Irish roots... you bring your God and heritage with you dear... no shame here.
Not alone, I’m in Vegas and we are racing in our car’s like we are all late for something. These people are cool, and very grounded. So refreshing to watch calm.. and very talented, all of them.
I was born and grew up in California. We moved to the country when I was four. We had chickens, a fruit orchard, two large gardens and a boysenberry patch. Mom canned, froze and dehydrated the bounty and taught me. At age 24 I moved to Northern Idaho and those skills mom taught me came in handy.
I get so excited when I see your videos come out!!!! Thank you for sharing your life and your family with us and also your love for the Appalachian culture and people!!! Great video🙂❤️
Enjoying the video but your husband sharpening the knife brought back memories of my Dad ! It’s a lost art...I love potato salad but hold the pickles and eggs thank you. Y’all are living the life many wished they could.
Yes please you sound real similar to the pickles and are called the same as what the ones my mom and grandma used to make don't think I got the recipe for em
I live in the White Oak community just one ridge over from Cataloochee...I am blessed to live in such a beautiful place. Those beets look amazing! First time I canned them myself I swore I would never do it again lol...everything was stained and It was a lot of steps...I was exhausted! But when we opened the last jar I knew I would be doing them again and again...Love love love your channel! Blessings 🙏🏻💖
I love watching y'all! We cook so much alike, yes, I have a button jar! Love to listen to the girls play You make your potato salad, just like I do, paprika all over the top!! Xoxoxo
My dear Tipper, You and your brother brought so many memories back - when u & Paul talked about how music has changed especially country & western - that is what I grew up on. So when u talk about it like u did - brought tears to my eyes- my Dad liked Jim Reeves just to mention one my Mom favored Kitty Wells - my mom liked Glen Campbell , my dad Johnny Cash. When my dad past away he requested we play - this song I can’t remember the name - but instrumental that u played on the piano .My Mom’s favorite was the song The dreams of the every day housewife “ I have grown to love them all- the songs but I also like soft rock like my favorite would be the Carpenters- what a voice she had! Gone to soon . So many thanks for bringing up the music- tears running down my face - I had kinda forgotten how much we all enjoyed music growing up . Miss my parents!Thanks again! I am so happy to have found your u tube channel.Praise the Lord. Rhonda Lampe ( just an old country & western girl!❤️😊
I appreciate how music is the thing that seems to "infuse" almost any gathering. It is lovely. Many people would be astounded at how grounded and lively their lives are. And the food. The food is honest, grown well, and are used in recipes that may date to the 18th century when Scots and Irish moved into your mountains--along with the music!
This is one talented family! Love the music! That potato salad looked yummy!!! Yay! for the woodchopper. That man's got some mad skills! I liked his narration sewing the buttons. Great job on these videos. ❤️from SC, Jane originally from NC.
Very refreshing watching yall do things worth doing. I don't make pickle but I like to use Wickles in my potato salad They're sweet and hot at the same time..Those carrot cake muffins looked good too and thanks for the music. Yall have a nice evening.
I just love how you all live off the land, and know how to use everything God gave to us!! You are all survivors!! I loved seeing Matt putting on that button!! Most men know nothing about how to do that. Love watch all your videos!! God bless! 🥰🙏🏻
Dang it, we are close on the potato salad recipe! The "Texan" recipe handed down from my late mother to me included everything you had, save the vinegar, and mine has some celery and paprika. Back when times were more normal, we had a block party twice a year, and it was a pretty good presentation accepted by all the neighbors. We will hopefully get back to the days when we can have a spring crawdad boil and a fall barbecue on our little cul-de-sac that invites everyone for several blocks (or whoever shows up, for that matter.)
Never heard of adding pickles to potato salad before but I LOVE pickles and enjoy potato salad so I will be giving this a try soon. Not 14 day pickles alas but tasty pickles none-the-less. Thanks for the idea
Love this. Like when I was living off the grid in the WA woods in the '90s. I play cello & tried to jam like you on violin but nope, I was mostly a hymn-player! I learned to split wood, build fires in the cast-iron stove my bf built (we, too, kept a dutch oven of water on top for washing, etc), haul water (as well as oyster shells to pave the path up to our place...they kept the mud down and made the dark path much more visible...the other people out there were surprised & delighted)...I learned a lot of skills out there and cooking was fun too.
My father’s family was just like this in Barbourville, Ky. These videos are like coming home. I didn’t get it when I was a kid, but me and mine started homesteading and homeschool several years ago. No better life. This looks just like my house last Christmas. We had a white Christmas in Blount County for the third or fourth time in my life. My 6 year old daughter thought it was the best ever, even though we had a tree fall and we’re relying on the wood stove for 6-8 hrs. Love y’all !!!!!
15:32 Him:"I am more about function than what it looks like". Her "You know me, I don't care how it looks like. I care how it tastes". Perfect couple. Bonus: They all look gorgeous!!!! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!
I'm so glad to see you pick the bass with your thumb. That's how I've always played too and I'm 62 1/2. When folks ask me why don't you play with your fingers I tell them all my rhythm is in my thumb. Love your family's music.😊❤
This video imparts such a peaceful, relaxing, calming feeling to viewers. Those carrot muffins looked delish. Will you please post your recipe if you haven't already done so? It was even interesting watching Matt chop wood and sew buttons on his wool shirt. And being a fairly new subscriber, I didn't know what a talented musical family you four are! DELIGHTFUL!
The only potato salad my husband ever ate before moving to Texas was made with frozen hash browns. I don't care for that. I make mine with real taters. Almost like you. I put celery in mine. I use a blend of bread & butter pickles & kosher dills. I put pickle juice in it instead of vinegar. I put Nature's Seasons in mine. It's a seasoning blend. Looks to me like you're a fine cook. Now if I cooked the same amount as you do my husband would be starting. He's a big eater. He's not fat but he's 6'3". My son is 6'5". He's grown now. His wife cooks for him, thank the Good Lord!
My husband was born and raised in Naples Italy. Grew up extremely poor in Santa Lucia. I'm learning to make the food he had in Italy. Amazing how 3 simple ingredients can taste like heaven!
Love katies fiddling in the background! I could listen to that girls fiddling all day and never get tired of it! I'm not a fan of tater salad but those dang muffins you baked look delicious!
Ooooo, watch your fingertips there Tipper. My Momma took off the very tip of her right index finger grating carrots once. I sliced mine purdy good once too when Momma had me grind her some fresh nutmeg for a squash pie. Loved the music. So spirit moving. 😊❤👍🙏
I play a few instruments. That Ibanez acoustic bass is a beauty. Great tone and projection! I've had electrics for years but my next will definitely be acoustic. What kind of six-strings are the others playing? And the fiddle?
Everybody, please try these biscuits (featured in this video). I did tonight and they are GREAT, I think they're going to replace various recipes I've rotated, all much more complicated and time-consuming. THIS is going to be my new GO-TO recipe and my husband says he's going to make them at work (he works over-nights with a bunch of men and they take turns doing the cooking). He LOVED them, he put European butter and strawberry preserves on them and THEY WERE AMAZING. So grateful for this EASY (but still as good or better result) recipe. Also, I tried to remember how calm she was in the video bringing it all together and let that be my guide while I made ours. It worked.
You made me nostalgic for sing alongs with my parents, Aunts and Uncles. They sang things like Go tell Aunt Rhody and The Fox. Old folk songs, not 60's folk songs. I still have my Father's violins, but I can't play. I miss those days!
I make potato salad like you but with homemade bread and butter pickles. Very similar. I live near the geographical center of California. Learned how to make this type of potato salad - our favorite - from my late mother-in=law. Small world. Thank you for sharing so many wonderful videos.
That potato salad is almost exactly like we make. Don't have the 14 day pickles but we do use sweet pickles and juice. Also like new red potatoes and red onion for color celery seed, vinegar, yellow mustard and goat salve (mayonnaise).
Hey Tipper! One of the best things bout being a fairly new subsciber is getting to binge watch the previous missed videos, and, looking forward to Louisa Friday tomorrow. Your videos are so warm and welcoming that it feels like home. Thanks again for all you do; Kevin from Port., OR.
Beautiful family, beautiful life! I have a set of mixing bowls just like that one. My grandpa gave them to my mom when she was a new bride, so they're about 60 years old.
If you wrap the thread/line around the thread/line just under the button, it will raise the button slightly up from the material and allow more room for the buttonhole's material under the button. That keeps the material from puckering from tightness between the two sides of the shirt.
"course eggs" must be an Appalachian sayin too. I love watchin yall. Your girls have beautiful voices and your husband makes a mean cornbread himself! GOD bless!
Another great Sunday evening video. I enjoy these so much and look forward to them. And the videos of you using your Texas Wear bowl always puts a smile on my face. I made blueberry muffins this morning for the grandkids using mine.
I’m watching and rewatching these videos early morning as usual I love love watching this amazing channel to see working teaching cooking and hear storytelling and singing.
That so strange my mom use to make potato salad like that well not with 14 day pickles but with sweet pickles, my mom was born and raised in WVA your videos bring me close to home ty🥰💐
Thank you for telling about John Parris. I went on ebay & just received Mountain Cooking. I can hardly put it down. I grew up in the North Carolina Piedmont & still live here & we do things alot the same. Your husband sharpens his knife just like my husband. I made fried pies too. Growing up we made 14 day pickles.
I love listening to your wonderful accent. It reminds me of and takes me back home. While I left West Virginia when I was 4, it still feels like home to me even though I have been away for so long. I love your channel, it is bittersweet to watch: I miss home so much but responsibilities keep me in Florida. But I’m back home every time I watch one of your videos, and even though it’s only for a little while, I’m home again. Thank you for the hard work you do it makes an old lady happy for a short time.
You make me homesick for a place I've never called home.
It’s a glorious place to live.
clever.
Great title for song.."Homesick for a place I've never called home"
Aint that the truth!
The music sounds like Irish music. I love it
Great videos!
Recipes to food in video can be found in description. Thank you for watching! 😀 🍽 🥣
Russian tea is fabulous, I make it often in the fall and winter. I make fruit tea in the summer, it’s good too.
You and your family shows us how the world should be. Respecting the past and teaching the future. Many thanks.
I dearly appreciate your video. Thank you for allowing us all to enjoy your sweet and authentic life.

The opening music made me get up and dance around my dorm room, it's beautiful!
😀 That's wonderful! Of course I love the tune because Katie named it after me 😀 It makes me want to dance too!
I'd like to see you dance☺️

Those muffins look so good. A simple life is the very best life. Quiet and peaceful.

Oh My Goodness! You put the log roll in a tire to chop into pie pieces!! Where have you been all my life? This is brilliant. I must show my husband.

The tire on the chopping post is a great trick while splitting wood!

We used to use my grams button jar to play checkers. We made the board and used button.
Love love that music and those muffins look DELICIOUS
My grandmother used to make 14-day pickles. They were so good! And I also have a button jar. :) Plus I sprinkle paprika on my potato salad.

Thank you for the video. Thank you for posting the recipes. I have down loaded a copy of your muffin recipe and will give it a try.
Dang it, we are close on the potato salad recipe! The "Texan" recipe handed down from my late mother to me included everything you had, save the vinegar, and mine has some celery and paprika. Back when times were more normal, we had a block party twice a year, and it was a pretty good presentation accepted by all the neighbors. We will hopefully get back to the days when we can have a spring crawdad boil and a fall barbecue on our little cul-de-sac that invites everyone for several blocks (or whoever shows up, for that matter.)
That crawdad boil sounds amazing! Thank you for watching 😀
Ken, send me directions to your next ( God willing ) BBQ .....I’ve never eaten crawdads ! But sounds good!
Thanks for another wonderful video
So glad you enjoyed it 😀

Nothing plays like a foldin’ chair and a pile of shoes! So beautifully simple and elegant. TY
Love this. Like when I was living off the grid in the WA woods in the '90s. I play cello & tried to jam like you on violin but nope, I was mostly a hymn-player! I learned to split wood, build fires in the cast-iron stove my bf built (we, too, kept a dutch oven of water on top for washing, etc), haul water (as well as oyster shells to pave the path up to our place...they kept the mud down and made the dark path much more visible...the other people out there were surprised & delighted)...I learned a lot of skills out there and cooking was fun too.

Oh man that trick w the tire around the splitting log is genius...im gana tell my hubby about that! He has knicked all his handles up
I love this channel. It makes me feel homesick...even though I'm not away from home.
Can I just say, that using a tire to hold your round of wood while you’re splitting it, is brilliant! And that punch bowl was just beautiful! 💜
Do remember those 14 day pickles. Thank you for sharing.
Hey Tipper! One of the best things bout being a fairly new subsciber is getting to binge watch the previous missed videos, and, looking forward to Louisa Friday tomorrow. Your videos are so warm and welcoming that it feels like home. Thanks again for all you do;

Thank you Kevin 😀
Beautiful family, beautiful life!
I have a set of mixing bowls just like that one. My grandpa gave them to my mom when she was a new bride, so they're about 60 years old.
Ethel-wow what a treasure! Hope you have a great week 😀
If you wrap the thread/line around the thread/line just under the button, it will raise the button slightly up from the material and allow more room for the buttonhole's material under the button. That keeps the material from puckering from tightness between the two sides of the shirt.
"course eggs" must be an Appalachian sayin too. I love watchin yall. Your girls have beautiful voices and your husband makes a mean cornbread himself! GOD bless!
🙂
Muffins look really good. I enjoyed the music.
Another great Sunday evening video. I enjoy these so much and look forward to them. And the videos of you using your Texas Wear bowl always puts a smile on my face. I made blueberry muffins this morning for the grandkids using mine.
I bet those blueberry muffins were great 😀
I’m watching and rewatching these videos early morning as usual I love love watching this amazing channel to see working teaching cooking and hear storytelling and singing.
Thank you Shawn! I hope you have a great week 😀
That so strange my mom use to make potato salad like that well not with 14 day pickles but with sweet pickles, my mom was born and raised in WVA your videos bring me close to home ty🥰💐
Enjoyed it very much!
Your pickles and potato salad look wonderful!
Thank you for telling about John Parris. I went on ebay & just received Mountain Cooking. I can hardly put it down. I grew up in the North Carolina Piedmont & still live here & we do things alot the same. Your husband sharpens his knife just like my husband. I made fried pies too. Growing up we made 14 day pickles.
Yay! It is a great book-I love all his writings 😀
I love listening to your wonderful accent. It reminds me of and takes me back home. While I left West Virginia when I was 4, it still feels like home to me even though I have been away for so long. I love your channel, it is bittersweet to watch: I miss home so much but responsibilities keep me in Florida. But I’m back home every time I watch one of your videos, and even though it’s only for a little while, I’m home again. Thank you for the hard work you do it makes an old lady happy for a short time.
Debra-that makes my day! Thank you so much 😀
I've gotta try to make the 14 day pickles and the muffins too .
My mother had a few recipes, one was German potato salad. Everything she made was so good
I make 14 day pickles, we called them icicle pickles when I was a kid growing up in Mtn. Park Surry Co NC , That is what makes good tater salad.
