Oh my, those donuts! I wanted to reach right into the video and snatch one up! 😅 Nothing better than beef stew on a cold winter's night! YUMMY! Keep on keepin' on!
I saw the artwork of Abigail Adams over your fireplace and knew we were kindred spirits. She is my favorite first lady. :) I use my clothesline as well. Fresh dried sheets are the best. We are hip high in snow here in rural Nebraska. I have to dig my way to the coops but worth it.
Hi Julie. Great meals. I love hanging out laundry as well. I love reading when I have time. I'm not really in to audio books. I like holding the book lol Ty for sharing with us. Love all your videos.
Hello, my friend! Thank you! I was never much for audio books, but I love reading so much that I had to figure out a way to get books read while still getting work done. Audio books solved that. I still read physical books, though. I love them! I'm currently reading "Old Fashioned on Purpose" by Jill Winger. I find it very relatable. I don't get to sit and pick it up often, but I still keep it close by for those quiet evening moments I can steal here and there. I think it makes a book even more special. Have a lovely week! 😊
No snow here in NC, but I so enjoy seeing your daily rituals. Spent the day in my kitchen with lots of cooking for the week. I also love to try new recipes! I cooked an Indian chicken dish with lentils today. The kitchen smells fabulous! I also make sourdough...will def try the focaccia! Looks delish!
Thank you, Melanie! I can't wait until we have no more snow! My husband and family love Indian food. Curry is a favorite around here! Let me know how you like the focaccia. 😉
Thank you, Kathy! The clothesline is so handy! I love that I don't have to walk through snow to get to it. The donuts didn't last long. We shared with family! ❤️
I love hanging laundry. It smells so good and saves electricity. I’m reading The Ride of Her Life by Elizabeth Letts , a biography of Annie Wilkins of Maine. Very good! The Foccacia bread looks so delicious! Val C
Your roast looked incredible! My husband also cooks, it’s always good because sometimes I just don’t feel like it. As always it’s good to see you again. The beginning of the video reminded me how grateful I am because my chickens all molted in the fall, they finally started laying again! They are getting older and I was afraid the were done laying, but happy to say they’re looking gorgeous and doing their part on the homestead! ♥️👍🤓🐓
Thank you! We are blessed! It's always a bonus when your husband is a great cook. I, too, was afraid that our chickens may have gotten too old to lay, but they are back to laying. God is good! 🙏
I so love your videos. I also enjoy laundry especially ironing (I know that's not needed much anymore) but I iron anyway lol. Do you have a video/recipe for your fried chicken thighs? They look delicious ❤
Thank you! Ironing is another household chore I enjoy. Not many people bother with it these days, but like you, I still do it. The chicken doesn't really have a recipe. We just add oil and butter to a hot pan... about Tbsp each. (We use cast iron.) Then, add the chicken skin side down. Let it brown nicely before turning. You can season the chicken however you like. Once turned, put the pan of chicken into a 375* preheated oven until the internal temp reaches 165*. This is really the best way to bake chicken! ❤️
Well done Joe, those doughnuts brought lovely memories of coming home from midnight mass to dad frying doughnuts and making hot chocolate (dutch style) for us to warm up before going to bed. Love pearl onions, I can't get find them here in the UK anymore unfortunately.
Thank you. That's a nice memory. I appreciate you sharing it. I'm not familiar with Dutch style hot chocolate. Do you have a recipe you would be willing to share? I'd love to try it. We can only find pearl onions here around the holidays, it seems. Great hearing from you. Have a nice week!
Of course, it's basically high quality chocolate melted into cream and milk and whisked together. I use about 1/2 pint of milk to 1/2 bar of chocolate - I really like to use Lindt dark if I can get it. The adults used to have a tot of something in it to keep out the cold lol.@@JulieKeeperofMyHome
Those squares you made in U.K. and Ireland would be called a fruit crumble. It's one of my favourite desserts, unlike bacon flavoured donuts - I agree with your husband on that, not a good idea 😊. Like you I don't have much time for reading so will listen to an audiobook now and again. At the moment I'm listening to Lord of The Rings again, but I don't use Audible. You can find plenty of free stuff on UA-cam. The one I'm listening now is amazing. I'm also reading (or trying to when I get the time) The Compete Tightwad Gazette and The Jesus Papers by Michael Baigent. It depends on my mood really.
Thank you! Lol! (Bacon grease donuts) 🤪 All of those books sound wonderful! I will check them out on UA-cam. I only have audible because it was a gift. I do love books! ❤️
Everything looks delicious. I love your clothes line! When we build our new house we will not be installing a dishwasher - they have been such a pain (although great for when all the kids were home and small). I love books! Audio while working helps me get in a lot of reading. My favorites are usually the classics and historical fiction. I see you have a wood cook stove… we are thinking of installing one instead of just a wood burning stove. How/where do you have it situated in your house? Might have to try that focaccia. Beautiful video! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you, Olivia! Historical fiction is my FAVORITE! Have you read "The Nightengale" by Kristin Hannah? Or "The German Midwife"? Both are on my top 5 favorite book list. Our cook stove is in our kitchen area. I designed our home, and it was built by family just over 10 years ago. You can go back and watch other videos to see it better. When are you building your new home? You must be so excited! ❤️
I have read the Nightingale but not the other. I have watched a few other videos and paused and took screen shots. Hopefully we’ll be building in the next year … we are downsizing our house but trying to upsize our homestead 😊 We will be designing our house too so I’m making lists of things I want and things that I can do without 😉
Great use of pantry challenge. Thank you
Thank you, Karen! ❤️
Really enjoyed watching this video. Team work ❤ it
Thank you! ❤️
Oh my, those donuts! I wanted to reach right into the video and snatch one up! 😅 Nothing better than beef stew on a cold winter's night! YUMMY! Keep on keepin' on!
Thank you, Doris! I thought the same thing about the donuts while I was editing! Lol! We each had one and gave the rest away. 😉
I saw the artwork of Abigail Adams over your fireplace and knew we were kindred spirits. She is my favorite first lady. :) I use my clothesline as well. Fresh dried sheets are the best. We are hip high in snow here in rural Nebraska. I have to dig my way to the coops but worth it.
Hello there, kindred spirit! You have way more snow than we do. 😲 Fresh eggs are definitely worth shoveling for, I agree! Have a beautiful week! 😊

I am ready the lady in the library. It's like a book within a book.
I read 2 books a week. There are so many good books I could never read them all.
I know just what you mean! My husband says I can easily get completely lost in a bookstore.
Hi i usually hang out my laundry too, it's winter here now so it takes a bit longer to dry especially thick fabric but it does dry eventually.
The smell is amazing, though, isn't it? 😊
@@JulieKeeperofMyHome indeed it is. It smells "fresh" to me
I have The Frozen River sitting on my ottoman waiting for me to read it. 🙂
READ IT!! 😊

Thank you, Val! Oh, gosh! I need to look that book up now! Have an awesome week!

I, too, was afraid that our chickens may have gotten too old to lay, but they are back to laying. God is good! 🙏
I love to cook as well. And I also love thinking of different ways to use one item to make several things out of it. Everything looked delicious ❤️
Thank you, Sharen! ❤️

Also think apple butter on it would be great too.
Yes!! 😃
My goodness that roast looks delicious
Thank you! It was. 😉
Have a blessed day!
Just finished Frozen River this morning! I’m now reading The Midwives Tail 😊
Did you like it? I loved it! I will look up The Midwife's Tale. Have you ever read The German Midwife? That was really good, too! ❤️
I have not read The German Midwife! I use Audible as well. The Midwife’s Tail is based on the same character in Frozen River.
I'm going to add it to my audible library. Thank you!

My grandma used to make it with fruit jelly

Very nice video 😊
Thank you! ❤️
Where did you get your clothesline?
We live near an Amish community. One of the families sells clothesline kits. You can also find them online at Lehman"s.
I have never heard of farrow
I would encourage you to look for some and try it. It's very good! 😉
Reading not ready..
