Backyard Breakfast, Red Corn Polenta And Goodbye 2023

[@RoutedOutdoors]

You mentioned that this wasn't much of a video. I'm afraid I have to disagree. It's a warm and wholesome video. So many people don't have the opportunity to spend time with their kids. Watching you and Nick together warms the heart and soul. I bet so many people will find some comfort in this. It's a very powerful thing. From the bottom of my heart, thank you! Enjoy your weekend. -Hollie

[@derekneumann]

yup.

Dave and Nick, thank you for your efforts to put a good spin on things. After my wife died last year your videos provided a littlle relief. I don't see how this year could be any worse. Please keep the videos coming, at least occaisionally. I hope your year is an improvement. Thanks agian for providing some bright spots along the way.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

I'm still sorry to hear about your wife, but I'm glad the videos helped! Let's hope for a happy 2024 and thanks for watching!

That ground corn should be great as it is parched and a native corn. The blue corn from the Navajo is good as well. Cold flower used in Colonial times was parched ground corn which you took with some maple sugar or what today is turbinado sugar followed by water. Actually any parched grain. In earlier texts from other places they said roasted grain instead of parched. As for those eggs, that yoke called for either toast biscuits or some crisp hashbrowns. Always good to cook over a backyard fire. I remember when my dad did it and the last time was over 50 years ago.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks for the info, very interesting!

[@silverbobcat1855]

2023 for us was the bedroom and kitchen and first year together on paper. Everything outside was miserable. I’m bundled up in our new Hudson Bay blanket wore out. Chris is making Grits from S Carolina to even out the continent and US unity. I found this frozen coneca sausage behind my organic heathy foods And have a hungering for a traditional American breakfast. I made Chris donate our plastic Mr Coffee and this steel pot- steamer to a veteran And family in a motel.. I like our old percolator Lodhe cast iron and French copper better. He’s got the eggs almost there. We will rewatch this together again . Rain is coming in and we’re staying put. Love, Amanda

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Nothing beats percolated coffee in my opinion! Our rain came back and Saturdays high here will be 26F! That's cold for the South. Enjoy breakfast and y'all stay warm!

Good day folks! First rain today since three month. No more danger of bushfires. So I can relax a bit watching the chefs in the backyard. Little hint : If you want nicely rounded eggs you dont need plastic . One can do that with some bigger onion rings as well. ( dont know if you have these big onions over there ) Taste much better.

I use egg rings and I leave mine on longer than you did. That way the egg maintains the shape of the ring better. Thanks for the video!

It was hard to tell with the super heat of the grill but, they were good!

[@papajeff5486]

Good to slow heat that griddle. Broke my first one heating it too fast on a gas stove. My next one has been protected and slow heated…and is still going. Good to spend time with Nick…enough said…you know. Love campfire cooking. Careful cooking with butter on a hot grill…butter burns fast and easy. Sausage sometimes doesn’t make a lot of grease; bacon grease is better anyway. Good to back off the heat, the fire, and cook a bit slower. It ain’t goin’ nowhere. Thanks for sharing…from an old vet, retired in the hills of east Tennessee. P.S. A little camp table build might be something to consider. You’re a good fabricator. Loved your bike trailer rig.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Good ideas Jeff! And thanks for watching

I was going to say that Melissa and Doug is a brand of normally quality made kids toys. Hence the stainless steel pan. Its actually part of a whole cook set.

[@craigmooring2091]

Howdy, Pearsons, it is, as usual, great to see you again. Yes, your griddle was too hot for that first batch of eggs. Like you, I always cook the eggs last, because they cool the quickest. But I always cool my griddle after cooking bacon, before cooking the eggs. My egg rings are metal, and I let them heat up for a bit on the pan, then I melt a pat of butter in each ring right before I crack an egg into it. One egg at a time. The melting butter spreads to the ring just ahead of the egg white and helps to keep it from leaking under the ring. Then, when I can rotate the ring around the egg, but the egg doesn't move with the ring, I can lift the ring and the egg stays round and I can flip it more easily.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Hello Craig! Its hard to regulate over a fire, especially with coals because if you add any wood then you get flames! I need some SS rings for camp

Backyard cookouts are always fun. Temps are 4degrees this morning here in Oklahoma. Best grits I ever had were on Louisiana....they really know how to fix them. Good part of 2023 is it's over. 😊. Stay warm guys.

If you look at the list of people who died and you're not on it, it's been a good year.
