    I have just recently come across your videos and can’t believe what I’m seeing. Your videos r like little documentary s. the way u set things up and the clarity of the videos r breath taking. Each video is a little story and the two of u r so adorable together. Each of u r so talented in your own chosen fields.

    Not sure if anyone has said to put the wood ashes in your garden beds and mix in the pots. Your plants need lime or potash. I love the pigs too! My parents were raised Amish and my grandparents have taught me so much. I did not realize how much was passed down. When you have children make sure to pass on your knowledge to them. 😊

    I have only recently begun trying to formulate my concept for a youtube channel. I discovered you standing out among others of the homesteading community. Your style, photography, editing and discussion of your life is so endearing that I cannot help but share the emotion of your experiences. Seeing your disappointment with the outcome of your first at home cheese-making broke my heart, too. I was also personally inspired by your cheerful ability to taste and find even some small enjoyment in that; some success in the outcome.
    Your struggles are being shared my many others, friends all sharing the same spirit. Thank you for your patience, determination, good humor, honesty and devotion to your noble aspirations. You have much for which you should be quite proud and satisfied.
    I am looking forward to seeing the rest of your videos that I have already missed. What shame that I cannot come by to offer encouragement and support. Please continue to follow your hearts in this without despair. Keep going...

    Of course the transition from school to real life would be a challenge, but if you can eat what you make or use it - it's not really a fail. It's just a necessary learning experience. That you come together to think through the process and determine what you need to change will get you there. Be patient with yourselves learning, creating, fixing - you're doing better than you think. There's a lot to be said for making do with what you have.

You asked what to do with the skim milk, one of my favorite things to make with it is baked custard, and all sorts of quiches with your wonderful eggs! It makes them very light and tender. Just be sure to bake the custard in a water bath so it doesn’t get tough. Enjoy!

    I think the 'crumbs' or 'lumps' are called curds in English (about 30 minutes in). It's nice you do things together and the slow pace is very relaxing to watch, but you seem frustrated sometimes that you're not making faster progress. My job requires that I'm very organized and especially when I'm very busy, I have to prioritize tasks. Usually I can do this in my head, but when things get overwhelming it helps to make a list and work on one thing until it's finished and then start the next. Aside from your daily chores of course. Also you could set-up the camera for one of you and the other be off working on additional projects. Thinking the drone could record your house construction work.

    WHAT HARD WORKERS! You are soOOOoo young and live like wise, old ones! Lovely life! Mathias, those pancakes looked delicious. I had a friend from Germany, his name was Hans. His mother was a VERY healthy old woman who ate well and swam in the ocean in her 80's. Hans was always trying to teach our family how to live a healthier life style. Hans would always stress that vegetables and fruit are never to be mixed. I know it's yummy but vegetables are FORTIFIERS and fruits are CLEANSERS. Mixed together, the one eliminates the benefits of the other. I have found this to be true and live by it. If, for example you want a fruit desert after your dinner with vegetables, it is suggested to space the time after your meal by about a half hour. Makes you look forward to desert and allows your supper to do it's most beneficial work for you. Just sharing what I have learned with you. The clothes/hat look good on you Mathias. Tova, you now have a wealth of information about cheese and production, I am happy for you watching your talents put into practice. NO WONDER cheese is soOOoo expensive as it is labor intensive.

    I googled this; Why is my basil plant pale?
    Improper watering - Root rot, a result of too much water, is one of the most common reasons for yellow leaves on basil plants. Water basil only when the top 1 to 2 inches (3 cm.) of soil is dry, and remember that slightly dry soil is healthier than soggy soil.

In areas of the US where the temperature gets very hot they especially use them to cann everything from their big veggie gardens so nothing went to waste. they avoid heating up the house this way. But if the house is big enough to bring these tasks indoors during winter, the house will stay warm. in the olden days the master bedroom was always right off the kitchen, to keep warm and make mamas life a little easier. ❤️ i love your sweater, it looks very laplanderish. 😍

      Tack så mycket för din fina kommentar, känns bra att vi kan inspirera lite med det vi gör! Vi får lite nya prenumeranter varje dag men inga hastiga ökningar, vi får väl se vart vi hamnar :) Ha en underbar helg! /Tova

    Tuva. You don't have to be angry at yourself. That year at school made you understand what you did wrong without waiting months go find out the cheese is no as it should be. You should be proud of yourself and I'm sure Mathias is proud of you.

    Curds (lumps) and whey. I find it especially refreshing to see a couple working in an equal, shared partnership, interchanging jobs and being true helpmates to one another.

    Within all the challenges you encountered your audience opens their fridge, grabs the cottage cheese or goat cheese and eats it without any basic awareness of how it is made. Your knowledge about fermentation is vital knowledge.

    50/50 skim milk and water sprayed on the leaves with crushed and dried egg shells added to soil will compliment the rabbit and chicken manure when it comes to nourishing the garden. I noticed you ask when you pointed out blossom end rot and pale peppers, as well as asking what you might do with excess skim milk. As old as this Vlog is you’ve probably learned this by now. Keep up the good work!

    "old cheese" is called "aged" cheese [in the US]. It brings out the taste better. The longer you "age" it, the sharper it will get. It has a more pungent taste.
    Love all of the translations. You guys are doing great. Thank you!

    and you can use the whey to make "sik". I don't know the name of it in english or even in my own langage. It is a old german word and it is a kind of caramel. It requires a lot of work but taste pretty good and sweet. all you to do is to let whey simmer in a pot with a circular piece of pine wood (smoothed of course) and constantly stir it until it looks like caramel. it will agglomerate and become stiky at the end. Big prolem is it takes hours....

    • @Talasbuan
      @Talasbuan  6 років тому

      That sounds like our "Mese" or "Messmör". You boil the whey down to a sort of caramel och fudge like cream we use to spread on bread. Maybe 6-8 hours of work :)

    Hi, I am from Bulgaria and down here we are proud of our “qwari”. We call it sawer milk and eat it all the time, especially for breakfast! They used to cure stomach and gut deceases with this culture! The bacteria are typical for the Balkan region! So interesting that you have something like that too and eat it for breakfast! We don’t take the fat out of the milk though! It makes it richer and you don’t need to mix it with creme, hehe... Anyway, I admire everything you do and utterly enjoyed this! I would love to have my own place like yours like that and live there with my husband! Bless you!

    Hey! I listen to Wardruna and Eivør a lot, awesome music. It's great that you guys like this kind of music and enjoy going to concerts. I live in South America and can't never see live my favorite Scandinavian bands, well not as often. I also love Cult of Luna, Opeth and Fever Ray from Sweden. Sweden has so many great musicians and score composers. Definitely will come visit Sweden some day.

    What a wonderful vlog. Informative and relaxing. I wonder if you will ever make a smoke house ? Imagine all the farm things you could smoke ? Meats and fish and cheeses - you have it all. All things that will last long and get you through the winter with many choices.

    • @Talasbuan
      @Talasbuan  4 роки тому +2

      Thank you so much! Yes, we're going to build a smoker of some kind. I want to build a traditional finnish smoke sauna as well. And I want to build a Texas style offset smoker also. But I have no idea when I will have the time for all these projects..

      @@Talasbuan - yeah you are super busy as I have seen, good luck with all your projects. You even have pigs now too and you will get cows, that is going to take a lot of energy, I wish you much luck and that you two are full power physically and mentally. I imagine in the future many people will want to learn your skills. You are setting a wonderful example.

    Try to trim down your chili plants before the frost and bring them inside or maybe to your parents. Then next year you dont have to start from seed. I do this in the Netherlands and it works really well. The plants can't take any frost at all.

    So I’m camping for the next couple of days. And I accidentally bent a pole on my tent’s rain guard. And my first thought was to just slow down, breathe, and channel your humility. I’m still not entirely sure what to do, but I’m confident I’ll learn from the universe....in whispers....

    Also do you have vinegar? If you add it to the skim milk after heating to a high temperature (google that) you can make mozzarella cheese. My children like that the best. It gets stretchy and squeaks. 😊 I have been binge watching! I need to go feed horses and goats and chickens!

    • @007shinette
      @007shinette 4 роки тому +1

    maybe fiel is similar to kefir. We wrap our yogurt in lots of blankets. I make it in a Dutch oven since it holds heat well and wrap it after adding the starter in 1 towel and then 1 thick blanket overnight. And keep it in a warm place.

    I don’t mean to be nosy, but I thought I’d just point out that you need to watch your little one around the tub full of water. Babies love to play in water, but can also fall in and drown.
    I love the way you care so much for your place and take such good care of it. It’s absolutely beautiful.
