    Kyle's comments in the background when she's showing all of her stuff from the thrift store is pure gold that's pretty much my reaction on my wife shows me all the stuff she just went bought

    I own an off-grid cottage in eastern Ontario. Long drives in the country are not the same as the city. There's no stopping and no traffic - just beautiful scenery: very calming.

      One thing to maybe try, here in Canada we have milk that is fine filtered and the expiry date is much longer. You could buy a litre carton to try and a 1/2 litre of the other one you showed us. The filtered milk cost more but throwing out milk is expensive too! I have this same issue and that was my solution. Awesome video's Cierra!

    Oh wow, that’s the first time I’ve hear Skeeter bark like that and it brought back instant memories of the sound of my Grandpa’s springer mix barking at chipmunks💕

    I also love flannel shirts - I have thin ones, thick ones, insulated ones. Buffalo plaid is my fave color, but I have them in many colors - I even have one in the color you are wearing! At 78, they are my cool/cold weather staple! Plus I ahve a buffalo plaid cap with ear flaps. My dog has a matching buffalo plaid coat, and we both have fleece Packer jackets!

    Kyle being a wise a** about your thrift mugs had me cracking up. But I like your thought for them & I love glass mugs. They hold heat nicely too. My tip for milk.. buy a qt, pour half into a zip lock bag and freeze it. when the qt from the fridge is done rinse it out, defrost the bag of milk and put it in the clean empty bottle

  • @ChiChi_Shaw
    @ChiChi_Shaw 2 роки тому

    I feel so stupid, I mentioned in one of Kyle's videos that I wondered if he doesn't feel cold but now I know he wears flannel jackets which are warm lol. 🙈. The flannel jacket looks good on you. I love the colour. I also love your sofa it looks so comfortable and cozy. The mugs are cute. Cerrato, I have the same milk problem. I use long-life milk in carton boxes. I can even keep it unrefrigderated for days even after opening the carton, even better refrigerated. The good part is you can have cartons on milk and you'll never have to run out. You can buy maybe 4 or 6 and refrigerate one carton at a time and you can use it for a long time after you've opened it, it doesn't go bad quickly. Thats how i manage. So lasts longer and is cost efficient. Love you guys❤

    @sandyleonard1605 2 роки тому +1

    To solve your milk problem buy a half gallon, put half in a glass jar or plastic container (allowing space for expansion) and freeze. Freezing the milk will reduce the nutrients a little but other than that it will be fine.

    I live alone & a quart was not enough, but if I bought a half gallon it would spoil before I used it all. I spend a little more for organic milk and I never have spoiled milk anymore. If you buy a half gallon of organic milk it will last for over a month. I haven't had any spoil.

    We usedt have the same problem with milk going bad. We buy a brand called horizon organic, has a very long date (ultra pasteurized). Might be hard to find in your neck of the woods but walmart might carry it.

  • @alexkasacous
    @alexkasacous 2 роки тому

    Looks like this cabin is so much more comfortable then the tiny trailer house. Noticed a couple of gaps in the door (light coming though the gaps) - possibly the wood is drying out? Maybe you can find a nice used small woven rug at to hang on the inside of the door for winter to stop drafts?

  • @RicardoCoyote

    #1. Since we've been drinking non-dairy milk we don't waste as much. It takes a little getting used to but I like it now. We drink soy milk. #2. Swiss Miss is the bomb! #3. I love flannel. It's the best part of winter. I honestly think I would wear it year-round if I could accept its Uber hot down here (California). #4. I love your clear mugs. I love that they are clear and also big. They are great for soup also.

    Milk... I am widow and live alone, I had the same issue with milk till I found this out... add a pinch of salt to milk as soon as you open it, shake it up and it will keep it fresh for a week or so past the expiration date (I promise you will not taste the salt). Also, keep it in the back of the fridge on a shelf, it maintains a more constant temp.

    Thanks for the video Cierra! If you like thrift stores check out the Hospital Thrift Shop in Cook, MN sometime. It’s only open Thursdays, Fridays and occasional Saturdays 9-3 in the winter. Lots of cookware and the prices are low enough to tempt a tight-fisted an old Fin like me! BTW, I’m driving out to Lake Vermilion from Mendocino, CA right now for my annual ice fishing and chill solitude trip. 🤣 See you around!

      @raycaster4398 2 роки тому

      @@skeeterspringshomestead Yes, milk and half-and-half freeze perfectly. Butter freezes very well! But NOT whipped cream or sour cream (lose their structure and turn flat). Unwashed berries (blueberries, cranberries) freeze very well. Sliced banana kinda soft when defrosted.
      I freeze those great sweet mini peppers sliced raw, and sliced raw carrot, celery, green onion for say soup or stir fry.
      Chop/chiffonade fresh herbs, fill ice cube trays with herbs and some water --> frozen fresh herb ice cubes!

    love it, and look how good skeeter listens, I would have to chase after my dog, she will keep going to get whatever she is going after. You are a lot braver than me to drive in the snow, I am a great driver, but when cell phones came into play, my driving is done when it is snowing only, and if the roads are like you described I will turn around and wait a whole day if I have too. If a snow mobile could do the job, I would use one of those instead. Stay Strong and lots of love and light to you both.
