    I commented on a recent video you posted about how I appreciate that you are just the two of you homesteading, because it's more relatable to me that most CZcams homesteaders who have like 3 kids. Another thing I find wonderful and relatable about you is the lack of gender rolls in your relationship, it looks far more like my real life than most CZcams homesteaders, where the woman is inside, cooking and homeschooling, and the man is outside working the farm and do the animal chores, and the wife and kids jsut come out to work the garden or sometimes milk a cow or goat. Its wonderful that Eric makes cinnamon rolls and Ariel goes hunting! This s how the majority of people actually are in this day and age, I feel!

Next time- with the gnocchi- put the gnocchi’s directly IN the sauce, with a bit of the pasta water! It will make a world of difference and the sauce will be even creamier, and coat the gnocchi! Let them cook about 2-4 mins, in the sauce, after the water- with a touch of the pasta water..... I promise- it’s life-changing! Lol! Well, at least, tastebud changing! Love y’all’s content!

    I can just see all the men out there thinking how much they'd love to drag their wives to Alaska and live like these two wonderfully motivated young people do. The truth is these amazing kids show us about one tenth of the struggle and toil it takes to carve out a lifestyle like you see here in these videos. Now that struggle can be and is very rewarding. But it's still struggle. It's HARD. I've lived in Alaska. I live in Montana. I know what it takes to accomplish what these people have. I like many of you love this channel and would die to live like this. However, I am 51!!!! This is a young man's (woman's) game no doubt!! I have zero business pestering my wife to move to Alaska!!!

    With the potato ricer you can also make spätzle: Just add flour and eggs with a bit of salt to make a dough (we do 1,5-2 eggs per 100g (a heaping cup) with 2 beeing on the thinner side). Then press the dough through the press into boiling salted water, let the water boil up again et voilà. Great with any kind of gravy or mushroom sauce, baked with cheese or pan-roasted with vegetables. Safes on the whole rolling/cutting the dough for pasta and since the dough is about as thick as a thick muffin dough you don't need to knead to combine. Also they're delicious and soak up sauce like nobodys business :)

    The reason for the fork tong backwards roll/imprint is so the gnocchi will pick up the gravy, sauce, in the grooves, might want to give it a try. Yes, it is a pleasure to watch you both inside and outside, conquer the tasks you face.

    I love that you guys love eating! It makes a difference, you can see how much you both enjoy cooking and eating good food 😋 last Jan was awesome but I understand how time consuming it must be to do a 30 day-er again. Thanks for taking us along, excited to make bread bowls next time I make soup or chili! Can't wait for the breakfast videos!!!

    Hi guys. One trick you might want to try with bell peppers is to freeze them hard in a unsealed baggie for one day. Then seal them quickly from air, don't let them thaw any. This seem s to keep them crisper when you put them out to use them. It might be because the unsealed freezing dries the cells out a little so they don't break so much during the regular freezing process, so not turning to mush when thawed. I do this for mine because I usually just cook for my self.
