I have never seen such a *huge* bath container for sterializing and final cooking of tomato jars. And OMG, I was concerned watching Marc carry that same very hot container onto the floor! But I also want to christen Marc as the New Renaissance Man! There are not many men who put up a garden, wield a baby carriage (w/baby) while picking tomatoes and still maintain their sense of masculinity and self:) Well done, Mac!
So cute, the opening! Instead of engraving, why not make a lino stamp, and stamp the pattern for slip before cutting the square tiles?
A very valid suggestion. The issue with making stamps or moulds is that unless it's an identical, repeating design on multiple tiles, it's a waste of time and resources to produce. If I decide on a repeating pattern I'll definitely do something like this. Probably plaster moulds because I can make a tile first in clay and then make the mould by just pouring plaster around it. Look out for it on a future video!
I grew up in Wisconsin USA. Just before the first frost, my father would pull up whole tomato plants, roots & all. Then hang them upside down in the dark cellar. The tomatoes would all eventually ripen, even the tiny ones. Do try it!
Great tip!
Дякую, я цього не знала. Ми клали дозрівати на підвіконня або робили салат.
I love the new intro, with Julliette and Piggy! I'm so impressed with your tile making skills Amy, your glazing is so pretty. Can't wait to see the next lot with the slip! Marc, you're a silent chef aren't you? I do like your tomatoe preserving technique, a lot more refined than mine is! You've got a good supply for winter! How are the ribs healing? Hope they're settling down. Much love and big hugs xxx
TRY A DREMEL TOOL. LESS COMPRESSION ON THE LEATHER STAGE. VACUUM CLEANER TO PICK UP THE CRUMBS AS YOU GO
I love how you incorporated Juliette in the intro. Marc dapper as ever on the tractor, Clement the child prodigy on the piano and of course Amy who we all love and adore. Crack On!
Try slicing the green tomatoes and dipping them in seasoned flour and frying them. Fried green tomatoes are great!
Southern recipe;
Slice green tomatoes, egg wash then fry in bacon fat till somewhat soft. Lay on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Yummy!
Pure yum. I coat mine with cornmeal with salt & pepper added after the egg wash. Works great with okra too!
Fried Green Tomatoes! My fave!
Try fryed green Tomatoes!!! They are great . 😀😁😀😁😀😁😀😁😀😁😀😁😀😁😀😁😀😁😀😁😀😁😚😚😚😗😗😗😗😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😉😉😉😉😉😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎bye!!!!!🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
I love the vintage, old-fashioned nature of your vlogs. It is almost like stepping back in time.
Great job juggling children, harvesting and making progress on the renos.
The Thomas Toft of the Chateau, well done ! My Dad always did the 'Bottleing" in England with produce from his garden... This brought back so many memories. We always went "Blackberrying" in the country lanes (away from main roads with lead from vehicles). His store cupboards were full. soft fruits and apples grew in th garden. I miss all that, living in Texas which is not only a harsh climate, but every insect and 'varmint' raid any crops I plant.
Finally Juliette is in the intro! Looks like she wanted to help harvest the tomatoes.
Great job with the tomatoes Marc, loved seeing harvest to pantry process.
Hello how are you doing?
The new opening is superb! So glad Juliette is in there now! You do have the best opening trailer of all the Chateau vlogs! The music choice at the beginning of the blog is just beautiful!
Dental tools are better for enscribing than wooden tools
Love the new intro with Juliette. Amy you are taking this tile making to a whole new level. I'm enjoying the process. Marc has a new kitty!
Love your tile making! Just a suggestion for the green tomatoes.....I gather them and make Green Tomato Mincemeat for Christmas pies. Your tomato canning looks so good! Juliette is such a pretty little thing and Clemente such a handsome little man.
Amy, i just wanted to say that Marc gave you a nice compliment about your creativity and I would have to agree 🦋 I really like the new introduction with Juliette now included. I’m glad you both didn’t quit UA-cam as it’s enjoyable/interesting watching your restoration project and every day, down-to-earth life at the Chateau. And to add, Adonis is very good at videoing. Thank you for another great video 🍂🐿🦔🪺
Pick your green tomatoes before the frost. Store them in paper bags or a cardboard box. They will ripen et voila.
Hello how are you doing?
Yay! Your tiles are flat....so far! Amy, you are such an artist! First the tiles, then the labels for the tomato sauce. You and Marc are a great team! ❤
I love that that you kept the original format of the opening & just updated with Juliette! It is the most creative opening I have seen and I always look forward to seeing it!
There’s is the only one I always watch. 🥰
Me too! I love it 😍
Nothing like a good ‘Let’s get ready for some fun’-bit before jumping into your wonderful vlogs!
Sending you warm greetings from The Netherlands 🇳🇱
Great to see Juliette on the intro ❤
Loved seeing sweet Juliette added to my favorite intro!
Canning plan! lol. Such a lot fo hard work. Enjoyed both the tiles and the tomato canning. Bon weekend les quatre.
As a big canner myself, I was fascinated seeing your process here! In some ways very different than how it’s typically done here in the States, but in other ways just the same. I’ve thought about experimenting with rubber-sealed clamp jars vs the U.S. standard metal lids, but I’ve already invested in so much of the one variety it doesn’t make much sense to deviate now. But it’s so interesting. And that massive canner pot! I’ve never seen one like that before, it’s fantastic. Complete with that thermometer insert… genius. Off to research pots like that…
So glad to see Juliette in the new opening!!!
Things are coming along really well.
Great canning Plan
Ohhhhhh little Juliette looks so cute xxxx
Your love for each other really shines through in your videos! So refreshing to see 💜!
You guys are all gorgeous. Where is that million dollar patron.
Thank you for this xoxo
Marc you should try Green fried tomatoes they are delious!
Hello how are you doing?
Beautiful episode! I've never seen such a big canner! I can only do one layer of jars at a time. Your art works are very exciting, Amy. Can't wait to see more. Merci beaucoup!!
All is coming along so beautifully. The tiles will be perfect - cannot wait to see a sample Amy. ( Sure wish I had some of that delicious looking tomato sauce! 😋😁
I love the music you played on this video. It was a nice accompaniment to the video scenes. I would love to taste your canned tomatoes. I remember how much better home grown tomatoes are than the perfect looking ones in the grocery stores.
Loverly video 🤗💐Marc is so funny Poor Amy 😂Amy can not wait for next instalment of the tiles 🤗👍
Love Sue❤❤❤🇬🇧❤❤❤
You are all so adorable ❤️…x Dottie
Love the music accompaniment & making use of the tomatoes, I hope the tile experimentation goes well, lots of interesting bits, thanks, John
Make some fried green tomatoes. So good. It's a Southern thing in United States. I am loving watching your wife doing the tile work. I used to do ceramics. I'm trying to get back in it. You have beautiful children. Merry Christmas. And keep safe.
Hi! Amy, I watch chateau dairies but missed your presence, I found you today ,you are amazing. I love crafts and decorating and always keen on new ideas, so impressed with your tile making , I’m going to try having a go, not from scratch but by buying pre- baked ones . Let’s see how I get on.
Love your new intro! This video was wonderful. Cunning and crafty. 🥰
Hello how are you doing?
The new opening is adorable.
The two of you are just what this chateau needed. Marc in the gardens and your eye for detail on the chateau are well suited to the property.
As the kids get older you will have so much more time to devote to your passions as well as pass that on to the children. I can't wait for the next video.
THEN, A MAKEUP - TYPE SOFT BRUSH TO POLISH THE EDGES
SHORTEN THE WORK TIME BY COOKING THEM IN AN INSTAPOT PRESSURE COOKER. THEN USE A FOOD MILL TO SEPARATE THE KINS AND SEEDS FROM THE PULP.. ADD THE HERBS TO THE PULP AND SLOW COOK OR RETURN TO THE INSTAPOT ON SLOW COOKER SETTING.
I love watching the whole tile making/planning process, it's fascinating.
I also loved watching Marc preserving his tomatoes although he did make me nervous in the pantry when I thought he was going to drop them. I can't help but smile everytime he speaks to the camera as his accent makes me think of Inspector Clouseau everytime. 😄
You are both so cute. This was a great vlog. Your vlogs are excellent, the music, filming, editing all of it is so much fun to watch. You are both naturals in front of the camera and the children are a joy. Love the new opening. xx
Mark is a keeper. I never canned but my parents did and some of my friends do. Cost of food today growing your own is a necessity. Look forward to seeing how the tiles turn out.
Yes, the plastering, the disassembling a wardrobe to recycle the doors, adding a lot of beauty to the utility area of that bathroom - a truly wonderful, spirited and very educated couple, using every opportunity to learn something for next time. Careful notes so that favorites can be replicated. Your sense of mischief and true caring for one another as you slip in child caring duties is a joy ! Love your videos...
What a great vlog! I'm fascinated by this tile journey Amy and impressed how dedicated you are to doing it well. And well done Marc! That obviously wasn't your first time. Was that big green bunch of leaves that went in the pot bay leaves? Wow I'm curious how it tastes. Maybe I should be using more bay leaves than the few I add. For green tomatoes I had good success with green tomato mince filling for pies and tarts.. Christmas is coming. It's mostly green tomatoes with pears, raisens, spices, suet or butter - my recipe calls for freezing (in zip bags) to preserve but I'm sure it could be canned too. Wouldn't hurt to add some brandy also. The kids are growing so fast - Juliette is getting more interactive.
Love the Black Adder reference!
Filming creativity, film quality, and accompanying background music is excellent. You both seemed very relaxed. I enjoyed very much 🌼
Hello how are you doing?
Green tomates in the South of the USA are made into fried green tomatoes. Very Yummy!
Thanks for a lovely video. Beautiful family.
Wow Marc, your sauce looks delicious. Cheers!
Amy Ian Currie's book, Stoneware Glazes, particularly chapters 4, 5, and 6 might help you in developing your slip colorations. Peter King's book, Architectural Ceramics, and Frank Giorgini's book, Handmade Tiles, can provide design inspiration and maker's methods. A blunt colored pencil tip makes great thin lines and ribbon tools are great for incised designs as they give a much cleaner edge. Much success as you explore tile making.
Hi Amy and Marc, my word Amy you are so talented, the tiles are going to be amazing! So unique, how cute are you Marc having Juliet help you with the tomatoes, your a great dad and a good cook, you and Amy have so many talents and the cutest children ever, so enjoyed this video, I could almost taste them tomatoes, they look so good, much love to you all xxxxxxxxxxx😘❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Such a lovely pair these two
Love the tile’s and the delicious tomato sauces. Nothing better then homemade tomato sauce.
Well done Amy! If you mist the bone dry tile you can do slip work, no need to put back between the bisque tiles.🇨🇦❤️Marc your tomato sauce looks great, nice production for the winter.
If you have a lot of green tomatoes you can make a nice jam with ginger or/and cinammon.
GREEN TOMATOES FOR SALS VERDE
AH AH YOU KNOW ABOUT THE FOOD MILL LOLOLLLLLLL
Lovely to see sweet Miss Juliette making an appearance in your introduction!!
If you have lots of green toms left on the vine, the whole plant can be pulled out and hung upside down inside somewhere warm and they’ll continue to ripen (apparently!).
👋 🇦🇺 ❤️
Loving these intros! a beautiful family keep up these lovely videos ❤
Thank you lovely xxx
I canned tomatoes as well, except I put it in the freezer. A bit easier than canning
Hello how are you doing?
When it seemed that you were practicing I suspected that would be Juliette’s
premier into your introduction. So adorable. Love your family and your sweet interactions.❤️
Such a lovely family - you make me smile! It was so much fun watching the tile making and the cunning canning! 😆🥰
Yes I really love your new opening
Hello how are you doing?
Mmmmm..... Fried green tomatoes. I was introduced to them in the Southern parts of America! Devine!
Kim
USA 🇺🇸
What an interesting vlog! Took me right back to my pottery lessons 40 years ago, I wasn't a natural, but I made very nice hedgehogs! :) xx
This was a great video loved all the different things you were doing . And love seeing you both having a fun family life 😊
Enjoyed the canning and tile production. Fun!
Brilliant video, loving the new introduction. Wondering who you were thinking about as you bash the clay to smithereens 😊
😂😂😂
What a great video! I love watching people work through a process!
Absolutely love your videos. You are a brilliant family,so talented in so many ways!!❤xx
Wonderful! This video was so full of fun, achievement and beauty where should one begin with the compliments. Amy was in her “happy place” with successfully flat tiles. Marc (and gorgeous baby girl Juliette) gathering tomatoes (in a beautiful garden he called messy!) that Papa very professionally canned. Plus, everything so very, very beautifully photographed!!!!! It doesn’t get better than this on UA-cam!😊
Right!!!!!!
Love the processing of your final tomatoes. Just something so satisfying of making it yourself and then having such a wonderful space to store them! thanks for sharing!
fyi: green tomatoes will ripen on a tray in the sunlight through a window - tho' won't get bigger. 😊
Lovely video Amy. I just loved seeing Juliette appearing in your introduction. Well done to Marc on his tomato harvest, and for harvesting your crop for the winter . Was also very interesting watching you working on your tiles. I can’t remember, did you finish your peacock tile? Xx
Thank you Janet! Did you see last week’s episode? I showed where I got to on the peacock tiles and the ones that I made for TV last year xxx
Love the new intro!❤
Love the new intro! The tiles and the tomato preserving were great to watch too - thanks for all the you hard effort you put into making these videos! X
Love seeing the progress with the tiles. Definitely pick the green tomatoes and place them in a paper bag so they will ripen. Juliet is so adorable and getting big as well as Clement. Love the large pantry area. The canning labels are beautiful. Thanks for sharing 😍🎉
Loved your music choices, it is a great feeling to see all your hard work in preserving the product from your garden, something I did when I was young but not done very often these days. Well done, both of you. You are giving your children the best life, so lovely to see
Fun to follow what you are up to. Amy, given that the indentation doesn't have to be deep, could you carve a lino stamp to use? Maybe stamp when you make the tiles, maybe after they dry for a day...Might be worth experimenting with. Just thinking about those 14 bathrooms...
Always loved your entry video, loved the new one with Juliette and the family. I’ve been enjoying your tile making endeavors. Can’t wait to see the most recent tiles finished.
Beautifully created story! Love your music choices! From one Archy gal to another - we don't mind getting our hands dirty! 😊
That is a beautiful video. The cinematography and editing are excellent.
Fried Green Tomatoes is a great tasting side dish. My mother made them by pan frying the firm green tomatoes in some bacon grease after first coating with a dip in egg mix and then dip in bread crumbs or panko. Flavor the bread crumbs or panko with salt and pepper and a little of your favorite spice (garlic, onion powder, maybe) In the deep South in the USA, they are deep fried which another option but not my choice. The bacon grease was my mother's secret ingredient and each slice was turned over once to crisp up both sides, firm green tomatoes were pan fried (no covering the pan) to the point just before they started to fall apart and they could still be picked up with a stiff spatula. The taste is delicious and a great way to use up the green tomatoes. You could sprinkle the tomatoes with fresh basil, parsley, finely chopped scallions or whatever your heart desired.
Try a mix of bread and corn meal as a coating. It's delish.
@@gailwarshaw7388 Yes, was going to suggest fried green tomatoes! :)
It is so Satisfying making your own products whether it be tomato sauce or tiles. You two are so funny and so talented lessons from Canada
Your vlogs are beautifully filmed and edited. Bravo.
What a talented couple! A crafts person and a chef - good to have for a chateau. 😊
Love the new updated intro! Sounds like you have a plan for the tile.
Hello how are you doing?
You two are adorable together…
Beautiful! I have never seen canning with old jars and all the other pieces of equipment! I enjoyed this video very much. I also enjoyed learning about the traditional tile making process!
Looking forward to your experimentation with the tiles and colors in the slip.
BRAVO The new intro is very cute.
BEST WISHES TO YOU ALL, THANK YOU FOR THIS NICE VLOG
Love your vlogs! Always learning something new here and appreciative to get some minutes of peace on a hard day.
Thank you Amy & Marc for a most enjoyable video, keep up the good work.
Greetings from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺
LOVE the new intro! 🇨🇦❤️
You two do make me laugh. Lots of lovely Tomato Sauces preserved. The tiles look really great. Loved watching😘
Green tomato pie
