  • Winter life in Alaska is a busy season, from ice fishing to keeping up with snow removal around the cabin. With the continued blustery weather outdoors, we spend a day indoors making savory homemade chicken stock to replenish our supply. For dessert we whip up a delicious coconut and spaghetti squash custard pie.
    ~ Coconut Spaghetti Squash Custard Pie Recipe ~
    Filling:
    1 large Spaghetti Squash (or 2 cups flesh cooked and strained)
    14 oz can of coconut milk
    1/2 cup half and half
    4 eggs
    1/2 cup sugar
    1/3 cup cornstarch
    1/8 tsp kosher salt
    1 tbsp butter
    1 tsp vanilla
    1/8 tsp cinnamon
    Pie Dough:
    1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
    6 tbsp butter (or a few heaping spoonful's of lard)
    1/8 tsp kosher salt
    5-6 tbsp cold water

    I enjoy the “daily life” part of your vlogs the best. The cooking, clearing snow, chopping wood, maintaining the homestead, the chickens (and your pups of course!!), the garden and the bees. The fishing and hunting are always a nice bonus though. Come to think of it, I guess I just love your channel!

    We live in Switzerland and i really never liked the cold or the snow that much (unless skiing you know). Especially since we have kids, i always felt like winter weather just ruined our outdoor plans (we are very outdoorsy). Ever since i watch your channel i started loving and appreciating winter and any weather really. You guys never seem to let the weather getting in the way of your fun..now, when its raining, i say no problem, put on your rain pants and jump in the puddles...snowing and freezing? snow suits on, winter walkies with our dogs, snow angels, collecting fallen pine cones...as long as youre dressed appropriately, its always fun.🥰

      Dressing appropriately is always important, but our lives get so busy, a lot of us just don't stop actively think about what we may need. Best advice I ever got was to dress in layers, so that you can layer up or down for whatever you need. Alas, that advice never says what to do about the layers you don't need at that moment! I think a light backpack, ideally one with an expansion zipper, being carried everywhere as a constant accessory is a good idea. They have those "stuff themselves into their own pocket-sized pouch" bags, but they're always one strap deals, so it's hard to wear as a backpack...but it's hard to resist something that looks like a strawberry when it's all stuffed away!

    I’ve always only used spaghetti squash for spaghetti dishes instead of pasta. Something like this never occurred to me. I really enjoy what happens in my brain with videos like this… “She did WHAT with spaghetti squash!?!?😯 I didn’t even know that was possible! She’s AMAZING!!! HOW DOES THIS WOMAN NOT HAVE A SUPERHERO CAPE!?” And your all “… la-ti-da…. Just another day for us simple folk. If ya think of something.. just try it. If it doesn’t work… fix it and take value in the lesson and keep trying. When you perfect it… REALLY enjoy it!” And then in like “….YA!!” Like a bada$$ who feels like she can take on anything!
    Thank you for just being you and sharing yourselves with all of us. I appreciate you both.

    Love the bloopers! 🤣. Your rooster has beautiful color. Wow, bet he would make a winner in 4-H. It’s amazing their combs don’t freeze. When we had out chickens in IL, they would freeze every year. Anyway, great video as always. 😃👍🏼

      I was thinking the same exact thing! Rooster 🐓 and back in the 4-H days. She would have definitely won a blue ribbon and state fair trip in both Poultry and Photography. Probably in egg production, too, and in pie baking.

      I'm your neighbor in St Paul, and have had to do soooo much snow removal this winter. Much of which was water removal, because we keep getting these freak thawing days, followed by an artic blast, which means dangerous ice on the walkways and driveway. Gotta keep an eye on that thermometer! Winter is not over yet in Minnesota.
