The recipes look lovely, we don't have any of them in the UK. The buttermilk pie looks a bit like our egg custard tart. Could you tell me how much a cube of butter is as I don't know that unit of measurement. I prefer the 20 min videos rather than the shorts but anything you folks do is fab Merry Yule
Hey guys, shorts are fine but PLEASE DON’T STOP the regular length videos 🙏🏻🍀 so much more information and awesome content! One more time. PLEASE???!!!
Love seeing you all in this way. I am one of the 30% NOT iooking for shorts from you, so please keep the longer form videos coming. I do not know what magic bars are either so now I'll have to look em up. Thanks for all you do bringing joy and gentleness into our lives. God Bless!
I raised rabbits and the best thing to do when using the cement mixing boxes, its to put the drain holes only on 1 end of the box and slant the box so that the urine will drain to the back where the holes are. Be sure the holes are in the back not facing the front where you would be walking to prevent having a wet mess. You will need to check to be sure the poo isn't blocking the holes. And thank you for sharing your baking and family recipes, such a special and loving touch. I love that you are sharing your family and holiday traditions with us, it makes me feel like part of your family! ❤ P.S. Noah is growing into such a handsome young man~
For those who was wondering about a "Cube" of butter, it is equal to one stick or 1/2 cup. It sounds delicious. Shorts are cute every now and then, but really prefer the longer videos where I get to learn things from you.
My daughter-in-law brought them and called the Magic Bars. . . They were called 7 layer cookies when I was growing up. 7 layers of ingredients. Yummy by any name!
Shorts are fine but I could sit and watch you chatting to Bella and Daisy for a long time and never get bored. Lol. Loved seeing Noah and you guys cooking. It makes me feel good to see you at home doing home stuff. Glad you had a good Christmas. May the new year be even better. 🎉
Not a fan of shorts but watch them when necessary. Bella will get the hang of the ball when a reward is included in the return of the ball. Daisy still reminds me of a puppy. Hope you all had a great Christmas, and have a wonderful New Year.
I watch you wherever you are. Always postive. No ranting at viewers etc no bad language. You rock. Look forward to all your videos can’t believe everything you have accomplished this year!!
How did you get Noah to be in a video? I thought he didn't like the camera. But it was really nice seeing him and seeing how much he has grown. Tell him hello from all of us. Love your Christmas cooking. Would love to see more of that. Personally I do not like to watch shorts. I would rather watch your full-length video. Happy New Year to you and your family!
Hello, reindeer chow is what i have seen it called! What a fantastic spread of cookies!! I have never heard of buttermilk pie but will be giving that a try. I was very surprised to see Daisy interested in the ball you got her! Love her little jumps that she does! The ever elusive Willie Coyote gopher! Have a wonderful day! Enjoy the thunderstorm!
My dog plays "fetch" the same way. We've finally admitted defeat and now just call it "keep away" I love the holiday season from Thanksgiving to Christmas. All the traditions and decorations and time with family. But I'm really ready for a new gardening season! Best wishes to you and your family for the new year.
Wow! So good to see Noah again! He is so handsome. But he's almost as tall as you, Brian!! He's growing up fast!!! God bless you and your wonderful family!! Thank you for all you bring to us! 😊
And also. Please don’t let any entity sway your own feeling of what you want to do when you feel like it. As far as yt. Great videos with great vibes 😎👍🏻
Nice video with the family. Noah is just getting more handsome by the day. I think Daisy really likes her ball. The buttermilk pie is perhaps like our Chess pie. My favorite is a lemon chess pie. The shorts are cute but I like the full episodes more. I am so curious about the new addition to the homestead. Please keep making your great videos.
I prefer the longer versions, too. Loved watching the Christmas video. I enjoyed seeing what you enjoy baking for Christmas, and thanks for sharing the recipes!
I have watched and LEARNED so much from your videos overs the years….I was surprised by the SHORTS video but enjoyed the addition immensely! As long as you ‘add’ in the SHORTS from your regular videos I’m sure you will find more ppl will watch AND move over to your channel to learn more and increase your subscriber base. I’m in my 70’s now and sleep habits change greatly, there are times where tossing and turning at night I realize I’m not able to get back to sleep and I pick up the iPad….not always wanting to concentrate on longer videos (as I’m hoping I will drift off into sleep again) but I go through many SHORTS videos, and I enjoy when I watch the longer version of someone’s video and I see where they cut the SHORTS from, or they add ‘bloopers’ So, I’m a fan of your regular videos, love the cooking additions and loved seeing that handsome young Noah in this video! God Bless and may you and your family enjoy a prosperous New Year!
That was a great video! It had everything in it that I love seeing! Bella and Daisy, of course, the cute little bunnies, your whole family, and some yummy looking baking. Very enjoyable☺️ Just my opinion, but I much prefer longer videos to the shorts. A few shorts sprinkled in here and there sounds good but there’s just not enough to them and they’re well, too short😂
Noah seems relaxed and fits right in. Nice to see him. Lots of wonderful treats. I like cookie cut cookies, but no longer have the energy to make them. My wife's co-worker should own a bakery because she does such a fabulous job. I wear shorts a lot but don't really enjoy watching them. I have a problem viewing videos longer than 20 minutes because it takes to much time. Another excellent video Brian. May the Lord keep blessing you and yours. I sure do love you like family.
It was nice seeing you all bake. I've never heard of any of those treats (except Buttermilk pie). I believe my mom told me that my grandma (who was from the south) used to make it when she was younger. I think I might try to make one myself. Thank you for sharing the recipes. Seeing Bella and Daisy both playing with their toys was so cute (and funny) 🥰😄 My sister bought your "Companion Planting for Beginners" book for my mom for Christmas. It was such a nice surprise because my sister had no clue that me and my mom watch your Next Level Gardening channel. I hope you, Emilie, Noah, and all the girls (🐕🐄🐇🐔) had a Merry Christmas and wishing you all a Happy New Year!
The jolly ball is what I have several of. I’ve tied a short rope on some. All of my animals love em. I even have a couple tied to tree limbs. The horses love em. My dog has one she plays with all the time, she’ll grab it by the rope n sling it around just spinning n a circle n running with it. She loves it. Another inexpensive toy Daisy might like is just a plain blowup exercise ball. Things that will move if they butt n kick it. Love the family video. Merry Christmas 🎄
Buttermilk pie is awesome. Daisy is so cute trying to play with her new ball. I've seen cows on video playing with stuff. Makes me not want to ever eat another hamburger. Hope you guys had a wonderful Christmas. Today is my birthday so enjoying my day relaxing.
I'll watch your shorts cuz I like ya! but definitely prefer the longer more thorough and in depth videos. thank you for all you teach and share and encourage and thank you for your down to earth honestly about successes and "failures", and challenges and of course goals. AND.... I never heard of the magic bar cookies. They look amazing!!! would love that recipe. tee hee. :)
The short is hilarious, but I also love the long-form vids, so please don't be in a rush to move entirely to shorts. Your buttermilk pie brings back memories of one my family used to make called sugar pie. Haven't had it since I was a kid, but I have my great-grandmother's recipe, and I may have to make it soon! I'm with you, Brian, about the run-up to Christmas. The anticipation is everything. Daisy is absolutely adorable with her ball!
A Jolly Ball!! We have a Busy Ball for our pig, and it got lost in the yard for awhile so I was looking to buy another, but they don't make them any more. It is very much like the Jolly Ball but without a handle. I am so glad to know this. We also have a Bob-A-Lot that he likes too. That is a dog toy but pigs like it too. I like the longer videos too, shorts show up in my feed and I can't avoid them, I think that is why they are getting more views. Well a lot of us guessed a goat for Daisy, myself too. So looks like that is not the answer. We have ducks to be companions for our pig... I really have no clue, it will be a wonderful surprise. (hopefully not a pig, they are a lot of work!) Great video, thanks so much!
‘Glad to hear you had a great Christmas with your beautiful family and Bella, Daisy, the bunnies and chick chicks! Have a wonderful New Year full of joy and good health. Regular or short videos…I have time for it all ! 😊
Love, love love your videos, thank you so much. Love Daisy and Bella, and your family is lovely Brian. I’m guessing a miniature goat or a miniature donkey to be the new companion for Daisy. Hopefully we don’t have to wait too long! Happy New Year to you all.
Thank you for this warm and feel good video. Glad you guys had a great Christmas. I did also. Loved the short afterwards was funny. Daisy was cute with the ball. Bella will learn soon how to bring the ball back.
Hahaha I had a dog that played fetch the same way. Daisy was so cute with that ball ! Wishing your entire family the best for the Christmas season and throughout the next year.
My grandmother used to make icebox cake! And buttermilk pie is awesome! I think you are right-it’s a southern thing. I’m from the north and I never ate it until we came down to Savannah Georgia!
I have been following your channel(s) since before the move a couple years ago but have not commented. It has been fun to watch you learn animals like you continue to learn plants. We had a Great Pyr/Lab Cross guardian dog for years. Bella is White. Our Gary was brown but the mannerisms are exactly the same. Fetch was a no go for Gary and shelters were out of the question. He wanted to be on the tallest space, well, to guard. I chuckled when folks asked about you keeping the halter on Daisy. Wise move on your part as a first time livestock owner. Being able to catch and control her with the halter will allow for easier behavior management and vet/health care in the future. I love your channels and have watched daily to catch up and I am about there. Thank you so much and I love the recent Christmas video. Looking forward to the coming month plantings! I am in North Idaho, so, it is going to be awhile.
Don’t like the shorts. It was great to see everyone. Please have Emily share the recipes. Wow those cookies look yummy. Hope your Christmas was filled with joy and laughter. Blessings ❤️🌺
Love your videos as is. Maybe shorts for things like "behind the scenes", that was fun! As for the longer videos, you demonstrate and explain things, beginning to end. It is vital to be longer for the awesome things you share!
I am from New Jersey, and I have never heard of a Buttermilk Pie. I couldn't imagine what it would look like, but I am going to make it because it looked so good in the video. Thanks for the recipe!
Merry Christmas! Don’t ditch your son’s bike… it’ll be a blink and you’ll have a grandchild that your hearts will swell over when you pass that bike on to him/her! Keep it!
Yup - as expected. Bella didn't like the rain noise (and windiness) on the metal sheeting. So only 2 (3) areas in which she hid out. Under the rafters of the protected patio deck roofing, within the cottage in the protected rabbit hutchery area, or down with Daisy in her semi wind-and-rain protected shelter. Which leads to the 2 previous statements of having 2 Bella dog bed locations in the cottage and down at Daisy's shelter - Bella can make her seasonal choices. Inside the warm cottage for Fall and Winter, while cooling down in the shade at Daisy's shelter in the Spring and Summer.
We in Melbourne Australia are experiencing weird weather. We had lightning, thunder, wind and 60 ml of rain in 2 days. Rest of the country had more rain flooding actually. Haven’t heard of any of your cookie recipes but we make a delicious slice called a Mars Bar slice, I’ll swap the recipe if you like. Really nice to see Noah. Your fur babies are gorgeous. Great hearing about all the different American recipes.
Never heard of buttermilk pie but I love buttermilk so that is one recipe I will have to try. Looks like you and the family had a lovely Christmas and Bella and Daisy got some nice gifts. Happy New Year 🎉
So lovely, to see your family celebrating Christmas was a treat! I'll be making that buttermilk pie! Never heard of it but looked delicious 🎉 Looking forward to THE SOURDOUGH recipe some day😊❤😊❤😊❤
I think I’m the only one who likes shorts, from what the comments are saying! Do both! I LOVE your channels, this one is one of my favorites and has been since you started it. I’ve been watching your gardening channel since you changed the name from California something. I’m here for as long as you post such great videos (and they are all excellent!). Keep doing these long videos, but I’m looking forward to seeing short versions of what you do. It’s so easy to watch shorts when you don’t have a lot of time. You could just show Bella’s zoomies, or Daisy being cute, or the chickens being chickens, or the bunnies. Just a walk around one of your gardens would be interesting. And anything humorous like your first short. I’m up for anything you decide to show. You don’t have to schedule them. The good thing about shorts is that new people will find you, and I think you’d be a worthy find! Thank you for sharing your family with us. I hope the coming year is a great one!
Not sure why Noah is camera shy. He is such a handsome young man. I am sure Bella will get the Fetch thing down soon. Bella was definitely jolly about that ball! she was bouncing around like a puppy. Too Cute. I cant wait to try the Buttermilk Pie recipe. Thanks for sharing
Brian you know Christmas has 12 days ? It is bad luck if you take down your decorations before the Epiphany!! I am so sick of eating sugar at this point I can’t wait to get back to my regular diet!! And my favorite Christmas cookie is the Pheffernusse.
Nice to see Noah. He’s a handsome young man. Love those bunnies. Give Daisy time and I bet she’ll be tossing that ball. Give Bella a treat to come back with ball. Maybe ?
I'm way behind on some of the videos. However, the buttermilk pie reminds me a lot of chess pie which is also Southern. I'm originally from the south and absolutely love my chess pie especially the lemon version. I will be trying the refrigerator cookies! Sound yummy. We always make cutout sugar cookies, peanut blossoms (have to try it with almond butter), magic cookies, and butter pecan turtle cookies which are amazing! Then also a couple kinds of fudge. :) Thanks for sharing your traditions, Brian, Emily, and Noah!
I have never heard of buttermilk pie but looks good, my mom made refrigerator cookies when I was growing up. I should make some and I like the sounds of your alternate version.
