I didn't realize how much I needed to hear this. We are full-time RV travelers and it's been a struggle to get "wholesome" meals made every day in this hot and smokey weather. I am thoroughly interested in your sauce canning as we have limited freezer and fridge space. Thank you for your content, I love your perspective and look forward to your videos. 🌒✨💜
Hi Angela, It's the rainy season here in the southern Caribbean. Rain every day for six months where I live. It helps that I love rainy weather. It's not very hot, but the humidity is at nearly 100% all the time. Mold is the enemy. Bread must be frozen. I envy your tradition of preserving and canning. I love pickles and have tried a few. Will do more when our harvest time begins in December. Stay well.
So many brilliant ideas. Ill be watching this video again and taking notes. Thankyou! Its starting to warm up where i live and feeling like summer despite it being winter still. Ive been getting nervous for summer.
I feel like I’ve watched all your videos 😂 And I don’t remember your outdoor kitchen prominently featured. I know you’ve cooked outdoors but I would love a nerdy “see the whole setup” hgtv style tour of your outdoor kitchen. Thanks for the great entertaining educational videos and my thoughts are with your family during this time.
I will try to do a video on this! The reason that I never managed to do it is because I’m scrambling to make dinner at the times when I’m thinking, “I should talk about how we cook outdoors a lot!”
Having been through the parental house clean out process for both my parents and my wife's parents, I know what you've gone through. I hope I can avoid leaving my kids in this situation.
Thank you for the suggestions. I envy your freezer. I live in Texas and have lost all my frozen food when the electricity went out. All that home grown; home cooked food was ruined. Ugh. It is 103 out today and no rain for 50 days. We are eating accordingly. I run my appliances in the early morning so it does not heat up the house. All the best.
I love the idea of moving the kitchen appliances (slow cooker, air fryer, etc) outside. Just brilliant. Can’t do it in my current place but in my next home, absolutely.
I love your meal ideas for a long hot summer day! My stomach was growling too. Im a huge fan of “de-constructed” dinners. Tonight it’s Greek-style salad from garden, hummus that I made, corn cobs cooked outside, leftover bbq chicken shredded, flour wraps if anyone wants it all wrapped up! Plum ketchup??? Gonna try it.🐇🐇💕
❤😮 omg I know exactly what you're going through right now. We are doing the same for someone who passed away as a tenant living on our ranch in the front house. This is so hard to go and get rid of other people's stuff
I've been really getting into three parts fruit (right now it's blueberries and strawberries) to one part cottage cheese. Add a little sweetner of choice, (I use monkfruit or stevia) toss it together...OMG--So good! Sometimes, I have this three times a day! My vegetable garden has had a horrible year. Even the cukes are now only maybe a 1/4"! Some of your ideas sound so good. I will be trying many of those combinations. Thanks.
Have you tried to bake bread in your slow cooker? I have tried basic no knead bread and banana bread. The sides are crusty but the top is soft. It is fine for me because I don’t want to turn the oven at all in the summer.
Wow that's crazy hot! You have a really great outdoor cooking setup. It's not as easy for us to cook outside because we don't have a covered area and there's a lot more stairs to get to the backyard, you can't just step out. However we do use the bbq a lot in summer to reduce the heat, and we eat cold meals. One of our favorites are Vietnamese style spring rolls, it's rice paper filled with fresh veggies like carrots, cucumber, basil, tofu and vermicelli noodles. Then you dip it in a cold peanut sauce. Do you have a lot of outlets outside? How do you run all the appliances without blowing a fuse?
Also really love the making and freezing things all year long so that you can just pull out and defrost in summer. I do a huge batch of carmelized onions before Summer to turn into dairy dips all summer. (I’m almost out - I should make more next year). But that’s the only thing I think to do specific for summer rather than just cooking ahead for the next few weeks. I’m awful at planing but that seems a worthwhile idea. Especially as summers are getting worse, and in my area, now we’re having wildfire smoke days too to compound the awful and general feeling of I DONT WANNA COOK. (I know y’all have been dealing with that on the west coast for a while, but it’s kind of new in Brooklyn.)
We do a lot of outdoor cooking most of the year. We love grilling meat, and do that year round. We use the oven roaster, crockpot, and any other small cooking appliance outdoors every summer. Why heat up the house, if you don't need to.
I buy bread in the summer instead of bake it. My kids and husband are big sandwich eaters, so they don't like to do without that in the summer. I try to buy it on sale and freeze it, but that isn't always an option.
Tofu is made from GMO soy. If you can grow soy and make tofu for yourself the better. I stay away from domestic soy products. Organic Chinese soy, good.
One of my favorite videos of yours. Thanks for all the great helpful ideas!
You are so welcome!
Thank you and Your welcome.

This vid almost got by me and it is so helpful! Thanks!!!

I already wanted an outdoor kitchen, but you sold me at avoiding greasing up my kitchen. I think my husband can get behind that. 😂

Love Love Love thank you
Fig balsamic, sounds good.
This sounds really yummy. My favorite it’s too hot to move dinner is popsicles or really cold almost frozen watermelon.
Sandwich week! I got lots of different sandwich fixings along with fruits and veggies and we eat them for as long as we can handle

Hold on to the house for rental! You will be glad you did.
I went to Earlham in the late 80's (22k)

Question do you ever sell pawpaw cuttings or seeds?
Do you guys ever have issues with yellow jackets, cooking outside?
Use Blue Peruvian and Pink Himalayan as well as Sea Salt. They add flavor and are muck healthier than processed trash salt!
Great video! Please use Balsamic sparingly. Too much lead. Please be careful if you are pregnant.
Where do you buy your berry bushes? I am near Portland and can't find northline serviceberry, currants and others.
Haha, I feel like you were reading off the menu from Chez Panisse or the French Laundry. Sounds Devine!
Have you tried to bake bread in your slow cooker? I have tried basic no knead bread and banana bread. The sides are crusty but the top is soft. It is fine for me because I don’t want to turn the oven at all in the summer.
Not yet!but I’m intrigued!
Tell us more! I bet zucchini bread would work if banana bread does!
I've done banana bread in the Instant Pot. I recommend doing it in a ip sized bundt pan so there isn't a soggy middle. Works great.

What are dairy dips?
I want to recommend a rocket oven to go with your rocket stove. I have a DVD about it that I can lend you. (I'll cross post on your Patreon.)
Info comes in at 2:55 :)

I have never heard of fleur de sel before. Isn't that just salt?

Your use of probability is probably profuse.
