Living off what we grow, forage and hunt (Week 5) 

This is my comfort channel during exam phase in uni... When i feel like life is to fast, to short and to hectic i come here and watch these videos to get the feeling of what i want my life to be some day and feel peace.❤

The sound balance between music and real life is PERFECT yall!

Milling corn suddenly turning into a thirst trap 🤣🤣🤣

The slightly smoky tomatoes could be bbq sauce.

Smokey tomatoes make great salsa! I always char my tomatoes to make my salsa!

Im noticing how your skin is so clear. This lifestyle is truly a healthy one

My mother made butter tarts and used black walnuts instead of pecans, it was divine! Thanks to you guys we harvested a bunch this year.

The information you guys share is priceless and the way you create/edit your videos is so artful...that combination is something I really appreciate!!❤

Tea cookies are an excellent choice for a treat when you don't want that super sweet taste some cookies have. I used to live how light they always seemed.

Thats a nice way to think about winter, thanks

Love the slow motion sifting of corn flour, followed up by the time lapse shelling of walnuts.

Have you considerd raising or hunting ducks or geese for cooking fat? Waterbirds can be really fatty and it from what I can gather it is quite shelf stable if stored correctly. As the fat percentage is quite variable I am not sure if they would be a good source but if more variation in meat or eggs is desired the side product of their fat could be a good addition.

Your musician friend's music reminds me of my older brother that passed away. He would write his own music and I'd just sit near the piano and listen. He would've loved your lifestyle and videos as we've always had dreams of an abnormal and beautiful life. I have a feeling some of your friend's music is improvisation. But even if not, its a beautiful combination with the snippets of life you all show us. I look forward to all of your shorts and videos. Thank you!

With those tomatoes you could make bbq sauce. The apple cider is probably something you could throw in the sauce. I’ve made apple bbq sauce before where I used homemade applesauce and it turned out great. I canned it and used it on pork mostly

The shot of sylvan walking through corn at 2:50- guh! I could practically *feel* the summer sun!

I like how even the piano music is homegrown by one of their friends

I loved the balance of music and speaking this week. They didn't over run each other. Thank you.

The music, your home, and the food were all beautiful. I love your genuineness the most. I too will set my cookie sheet on top of my dinner pans and sit watching a movie over a basket of laundry. You are truly making a good life together and I thank you for sharing it with us. God bless you both.

The smoky tomatoes could make great salsa!

I make hard cider every year and I will say that if you add a little honey once it’s done fermenting and a couple ginger peels at the bottom and let it sit in the fridge it’ll carbonate more and get sweeter, and act as a probiotic when drunk straight. I don’t know how much drinking you guys do but as a nice every so often alcoholic treat that also improves your microbiome I think it’s worth making a gallon or so

This was a beautiful video to watch and I really enjoyed it . I love that you put glimpses of the ingredients being foraged, harvested or preserved as you made the recipe. The music is fantastic. I'm watching earlier videos too at the moment and they are all great. Thank you for sharing lovelies ❤

So much admiration and respect for this couple.

Great video

you guys are actually the coolest ever

I hear "smokey tomato sauce" and visions of BBQs dance in my head.

love the way you use different clips to go through a story (like the corn section, or tomatoes). Your videography is improving a lot with this series. Audio balance is also great

Smoky tomatoes could be the base of a pretty tasty Indian-style curry!

nuts make a great low carb pie crust. especially nice with custard pies!

This looks so lovely. I hope to someday have a lifestyle like yours aswell. Looking into planting local nut trees like hazel around the city i live in so people can harvest in the future. Also have bought a small previous farm next to the city for very cheap that we are renovating. Looking forward to making a garden there the coming spring!

Immediately captivated

Watching this is giving me so many ideas. I wonder if the corn flour could make pasta? Maybe something like a spaetzle or a more traditional long noodle. I know some cultures, like the Philippines, make noodles from corn starch. Also, idea for next year's gathering. If you live in an area that has native sumac, maybe you could dry the berries, maybe grind them up to make sumac spice? I know your husband is Middle Eastern, and sumac is one of their common spices in things like za'atar. It'd be interesting to know how it compares. Or save it for tea or stew.

In addition to field corn, I grow sorghum. It’s very easy to process. The grain can be boiled into porridge, milled into delicious flour and even popped like popcorn! I process the stalks of this “hardy sugar cane “ into syrup. Sorghum is a relative of corn and is easy to grow.

I so enjoy watching the two of you work together as a team.

Have you guys considered adding a little hard wood ash when using cooking your corn in your various dishes? It'll add more calcium and make more nutrients bio available from the corn. Love your videos.

I discovered your channel from an oyster mushroom short, and now I’m watching your videos and loving every moment. New subscriber here and so happy to find you guys!

I like that the music intro was shorter this time.

Audio levels are perfect with this one! Thank you!

So glad you collaborated with Pro Home Cooks, otherwise I don't know if I'd have found your amazing channel! Your content and way of life is so inspiring. And your dog is such a sweetie :) Watching your videos is like meditating to me. Keep doing what you're doing!

The smokey tomato sauce would be awesome with tacos. Venison tacos are awesome and that would be next level.

The new sieve you guys use looks exactly like the stuff we use in Cameroon to sift sorgho/tapioca/corn flour etc to make fufu and gari 😹😹 never seen it outside of Africa that’s so cool and yes it’s a much finer sieve

love your pup

I love ur videos! Very calming. Also, gonna maybe try to make cornmeal next season cause of you guys.

Do you guys ever go bird hunting? Duck or quail would be a nice change from venison. Possibly rabbit if you have an area where you can set snares.

thank you that was wonderfull to watch ❤

I’ve always wondered if you could use the nut shells for cooking fuel?

Maybe try using the smokey tomatoes in stuffed cabbage. I usually don’t stuff them but make a casserole or soup instead. Same ingredients but quicker.

I loved this video!

Great content, I have learned so much from this youtube channel. Thank you for sharing.

this is so inspiring❤❤

Waow absolutely love this, wish we all had a significant other like her

Being from the south I know good grits. Yours looked really creamy and buttery which is the best. I would love to try hand ground grits. I bet yours are delicious.

Please tell me you guys are compiling these recipes into a cookbook?? I’m so motivated by your videos and Instagram content! I love what you guys do and want to achieve it as well! ❤

If you beat the honey and butter together and then add the egg it will emulsify better.

I’d love to hear more about the sweet woodruff vanilla substitute!

Omgosh, this is so crazy amazing! Can I come live with you? Lol

Wonderful videos!

can you do a video about how you winterize the hives? and beekeeping in general? I think it could be a great couple of episodes

I love your videos! This is so amazing, please keep sharing the journye with us! What is the food that you miss the most during this challenge?

How do you know when the moisture content of the corn is low enough to grind it ?

Make BBQ sauce out of the toasty tomatoes

BBQ sauce sounds like a good idea for a slightly smoking tomato sauce 👀

You seem to eat pretty healthy year round but do you feel any difference in the winter eating food that is not highly processed? I noticed you soaked the corn and ground it wet to make tortilla chips recently and you grind the dry corn for corn meal. Does wet grinding give you a better texture for tortillas & chips vs grinding dry and adding water afterwards? Love your videos! I really look forward to them. Thank you for sharing your food and your lives with us.

I saw someone soak walnuts in water and used them as a meat substitute in pasta sauce

I know what you mean about missing the cookies, cause after my husband was diagnosed with Celiac disease and I became gluten intolerant I miss the actual making of all those Christmas cookies.

I just realized there's a black walnut tree near me! I was wondering what those fruits were and tried smashing them with my foot. Not sure if it's worth trying to harvest them though when there's a giant pecan tree right outside my door and those are a bit easier to harvest and process

Do you have a link to your grain mill? Love all of your content!

The video was fantastic this week, guys! Have you given any thought to growing sunflowers for the oil? It seems laborious, but I'm considering it.

So you mentioned that you burned the first batch of tomato sauce, I would love to know if any of your canned products or preserved foods have gone bad ❤❤❤

My question is. When grinding your corn or whatever with that grinder, does bits of the rocks not come off over time?

Where did you get/what brand is your corn mill. I've tried to find a similar one but haven't been able to find any as nice as yours.

I’ve heard of the float test to check if black walnuts on good or not but at what point do you do that? Is it too late if I’ve already started drying them out for several weeks?

I am so curious if yall have plans to eventually make your own oil?

You could make a smoked tomato pasta or boulanese

How were the cookies?

Pralines or pies

Floriani Red Flint, might be the ideal corn for your situation. It is considered the most flavourful and versatile culinary corn buy many. Have you ever tried it?

First

Share awareness about Gaza Palestine and the ethnic cleanse happening there. Please 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
