    W'e're building, so I've been stuck in town. After two years without a garden, I've never appreciated my gardens the way I do now. I miss the dirt and the seeds, the watching and the waiting, the weeding and the worrying, the picking and the cooking, the eating and the canning, and the sharing. Most of all I miss the satisfaction that came from watching my family gather round a table full of food that came from itsy bitsy, teeny, tiny seeds.

    This summertime meal looks delicious. During this time of year we take every opportunity to enjoy the wonderful vegetables made available. Often, we elect not to have a meat entree with the meal, we just enjoy the home cooking of the fresh garden vegetables. Almost always have a skillet of cornbread or some homemade biscuits. We always keep a large mason jar of cucumber and onion salad in the refrigerator. Eat it with everything. Add a plate of sliced vine ripe tomatoes and your good.

    You're so right, it's very hard not to go crazy with adding more scrumptious dishes to a lovely supper when there's such abundance! This reminds me of one Sunday when I still lived at home with my folks when my Mama had planned a roast chicken supper with corn on the cob, a salad, and pie. Somehow it turned into that, plus green beans with ham hock, biscuits, pinto beans, mashed potatoes, and two different kinds of pie. Fortunately my brothers and their families were over visiting and helped eat it up. For me it's one of my loveliest cooking memories with my Mama.

    I grew up in Illinois with a dad from Farmville, Virginia. We had a garden the size of a football field it seemed and had lots of veggies to eat. My mom canned everything she could so we would have things to eat all winter long. Dad and I hunted squirrels, rabbits, pheasants, quail and deer. If you could eat it we shot it. That was some of the best eating you can ever imagine. My dad passed away in 2013 but, I still carry on the tradition by eating off the land.

      @@CelebratingAppalachia I love okra so much that I am of the mindset of "why wouldn't you leave the ends of the okra"? This meal was an absolute heck of a feast! Most everything looked so good. I'm not the biggest fan of spinach, but perhaps if I try the Malabar sometime I might find I like that variety. How do from New Bern. Y'all take care. I loved how Katie was so sweet to you and helped clean the kitchen with Matt. It looks like they caught you a nice mess of fish for supper, you lucky lady you.

    My great grandfather was born in a log cabin in Kentucky in 1880. At the age of 16 he ran away from home an ended up in Southern Illinois working the coal mines. My grand parents eloped and my grandfather went to college and law school. His law practice was in the Chicago area. My mom tried to cook like her mom, but she never got things quite right. As a suburban housewife neo hippie; my mom purchased the Fixfire books and as a child I wold read them for hours. I even tought myself hiw to pkay her mountain dulciner. Although i am generations away from my Kentucky heritage, my geandmothrrs cooking and the way she managed her kutchen looked liked things in your videos. My great gtandfather passed un 1977, my grandmother passed in 1998, and my mom passed in 2008. Your recipe and cooking videos keep happy nemories fresh in my mind's eye.

    A few things; meatloaf is so person specific that when two people marry, one of the things has to be whose Mom's meatloaf will rule, or perhaps a new tradition. I just started Malabar spinach. For fresh corn, I grew up in NE and you went to the farm stand as early as possible and let the corn rest on the counter till the magic moment. Had to be cooked that day, but you had to test the softness of the kernels before committing to the length of the boil time

    Thank you for the video. The food looks amazing and delicious. I usually fry my okra the same as you do. Sometimes I do a deep fry depending on company. A very long time ago, I was on my way to go camping at the OBX, and I stopped by the corn fields and got some silver queen corn from a farmer's stand. When I got to the campground, I found that I didn't have a big pot to boil the corn in. I then remembered how my Mom used to cut the fresh corn off and pan fry it in some butter and bacon grease. And after that time, I've been doing my corn that way ever since. Your sweet family is so full of good humor and kindness. You all are truly blessed to have one another. LOL! If you'd invite me for supper, I'd not only do the dishes, but I'd sweep and mop the floor AND wash 'n dry 'n fold a load of laundry for you.😄 Thank you again for the video and for sharing your wonderful home with others. Take care and blessings to you all. 🙏🏻😊💖

    When I saw that pot of beans, I was back home. I watched you cook this meal that I have eaten myself so many times, and it brought tears to my eyes. Mama made biscuits every day except for once in a while when it was cornbread at supper, but Granny made cornbread and biscuits both every day. She had seven children and I understand how those habits run deep, now that mine have grown and gone. There is no reason for me to cook big pots full of anything.
    When my son was little, he would get up after every meal and kiss my cheek and tell me thank you. They all said thank you, but he was the only one that would give me a kiss. I don't know if he remembers that, but I'll never forget because it's one of my favorite memories. And oh gee, I'm still crying. The world is going through some stuff right now, some bad stuff, and it makes you put up defenses because it hurts to see it. For a little while this morning I was back on solid ground. Thanks.

    True comfort food. My grandma would love it, except substitute beef for turkey burger. She only at pork, fried chicken and catfish--no beef. She was raised on a hog farm in Shreveport, LA, Grandpa from Forsyth, MS. They had a creek that ran through the land with catfish and a chicken pen. One cow for milk and cheese.
    God bless you and your family for sharing such rich American good home cooking with us. I'm still learning to cook like grandma.

    I'm really enjoying your channel, as an English person the food is very 'exotic' to me and I'm fascinated by it all! 😃 I would love to be able to grow veggies, but I live in a city and only have a tiny backyard. My great-aunt and uncle used to have their own veggie garden and lived in a cottage in the country, I used to have holidays with them back when I was at school in the 1980's! My auntie was such a good cook and all the veg was from my uncle's garden - I really miss that. Seeing your beautiful home and family reminds me of those happy times in my childhood and how good the food was! I tried your Apalacian breakfast a while ago, some things you cook with (like the types of bacon) we don't have here in the UK, but I managed to cook most of it in the end and it was very nice, the biscuits turned out extremely well - so your recipe is exellent! Of course you probably know - in England a 'biscuit' is what you call a 'cookie' in the US, the American biscuit is more like an English scone! I've visited the US twice, but not your neck of the woods, it does sound so idyllic! 🙂

    You made me hungry right after supper tonight, and I was already stuffed ! I think tomorrow we're going to have fried fat back, white half runner beans, corn bread from coarsely ground meal, and steamed silver queen rosnears. Sliced cherokee purple tomatoes, cucumbers, and Vidalia onions mixed and salted and peppered.

    In our 1950's Mexican kitchen here in Southern California, my dear Mother, who had 11 children, made this cucumber and tomato salad. We kids did not care for salad greens, but loved other veggies, so this was a favorite. Sometimes she would add avocado from our backyard trees or sliced white onions and a wee bit of rice vinegar, which Daddy loved. A great salad to pack for trips to the beach.

    I never even heard of okra until I moved from SW VA to NE TN after the Flood of ‘78. I was the nerdy kid that traded things from my lunch tray to get the okra everybody else rejected. Lol. I soaked okra in buttermilk last night, dredged in cornmeal with salt and pepper, fried it up, and served it up to my family last night. It’s a good thing I taste tested for quality control, because I wouldn’t have gotten any otherwise. It’s amazing how much growing country boys can eat!
