  • It was a leisure week and by leisure I mean very little to no garden work. most of the veggies are not ready yet and the garden was still looking good, weed wise. although the wind would have made it tricky to do much of anything.
    hope you enjoy and sending you much love ❤️
    #Hutterite #summer
    my chocolate recipe:
    1/4 cup + 2 tbsp coconut oil
    3/4 cup cocoa powder
    2 tbsp honey
    1/2 tbsp espresso powder
    pinch (or more) of salt
    mix well, top with almond butter or nut butter of your choice, sprinkle more salt on top, freeze until hard enough to break into bite sized pieces and enjoy.
    I store mine in the freezer.

    Giselle! The Sweet Marjoram. Must not let the plant dry out. Keep trimming top(I mound mine round) to avoid going leggy. Recipe: Cut peeled potatoes into large chunks (1.5 inch square as much as possible). Boil until soft for stews. Drain and remove from the pot. While the pot is hot, back on the stovetop with 2-3 tablespoons of chopped fresh Marjoram per stick of butter. Allow butter to met and meld with herb very well. Place potatoes back in pot. Add Salt to taste. Stir (don't mash) until all potatoes have been covered well with herb butter mixture! I usually heat and stir until potatoes have surrendered a small bit that almost makes a sauce! Voila!

    One of my favourite TV chefs Ina Garten ALWAYS adds a touch of espresso to her chocolate dishes (especially cakes). It doesn’t really change the profile but makes the chocolate stand out more.

    Giselle, congrats on 200 vlogs! I'm a Mennonite from Oregon, and I've been watching your videos for quite a while now, which only stoke my interest in fellow Anabaptists. I've always been interested in our related groups, and your videos capture what most people never see about a Hutterite colony. My dad grew up in Minot, North Dakota, and remembers seeing a number of colonies not too far away. My family is planning on visiting a colony in Washington or Montana at some point because it's been on my dad's bucket list since he was a kid. Keep the wonderful videos Giselle, we love watching them! Segenswünsche aus Oregon.

    I just love to watch your video's,vall about the basic good things life (and/or the Lord) can bring and give you. And that's important to remember in a life that's also full of the 'big things' who are in the end 'ugly things' (hope you know what I mean🤔).
    I will try try to make your chocolate, it looked delicious. Only problem: we, in Europe, don't use the 'cup- measurements', we do everything in grams. So I have to figure out how to make your cups into my grams🤪. Well maybe mr Google can help me👍
    Thanks again🌷🌻🌷

    Giselle your wild flowers may not be gone. They normally flower early spring. not summer. Put a note in your calendar on your phone to check next year in the spring. Oh the chocolate looks good. I was just thinking a little salt would be good on top. and then you put some on. Can you please tell me what the Lilacs and honey is used for? OH!! I really like the Pink container you got for Kona's treats.Thank you for sharing parts of your life with us. Your videos make me so relaxed, with your music thank you

    Lilacs are my favorite scented flower...The aroma is wonderful...I used to have them on our little farm, when my husband was still alive. I've been wanting to get a couple of new bushes for my home here...this has inspired me to look into doing that now!! The fries & drink look so delicious!! Ooh, the addition of coffee was a fantastic idea, Giselle...I know in some recipes, I have added coffee to the chocolate too, like brownies...yum!! Have you ever made Gingerbread? A long time ago, I bought this cookbook, can't think of the name right now, but it had such wonderful recipes & one of them particularly caught my attention...it was for Gingerbread, but it had the added ingredient of pepper in it. I made the recipe & I can't tell you exactly what it did, but it enhanced the flavor so much...it became my favorite Gingerbread recipe!! Giselle, I so love the pink print of your dress & the sleeves of your blouse too...you find the prettiest prints for your dresses & make the cutest blouses too. Thank you so much for sharing, Giselle.♥ I always love seeing Kona...she is such a faithful little friend🐾♥
