Baking Cookies For Our Crowd + it's another bake week.....Vlog 159

[@pattylokken7095]

I grew up about10 miles from a South Dakota Hutterite colony in the 1960s, and townspeople expressed a lot of curiosity and misinformation. Your vlog posts in which you share your life have been so interesting to me. Instead of struggling with excessive restrictions, you show us a life filled with joy and creativity. It's amazing what a group on people working towards a common goal can accomplish!

I have several food allergies I think it's fabulous that you guys find ways to make for folks with allergies & without

[@lisawermuth3572]

My grandparents farm is next door to a Hutterite colony in Minnesota. I actually got a tour of the colony with my children. My grandparents had become friends with the managers wife. What lovely people the Hutterites are & who are doing the right things. The garden produce they grew was huge and they are very amazing seamstresses. I was so impressed and still love them all.When my grandma passed away 10 years ago I donated her organ/ piano to the Hutterites. 💞🙏

Thank you for filming and sharing your life and unique perspective through such high quality vlogs. Please keep doing what you do, and just know that some random guy living in the lonely yet crowded concret jungle of NYC is hooked on your vlogs.

Giselle, I love your videos. They make me feel a little homesick because my Dad was a Hutterite, a Kleinsasser. We now live in California and though I never lived in the community, I visited my grandparents often. I really miss hearing German too. Dad doesn’t speak it much anymore. Sending love!

[@gisellewaldner9406]

Oh wow that is amazing, if you don't mind me asking have you ever gone and visited the colony where he is from? 😊

Thank you, Giselle! It's so good to see you again - along with those yummy-looking cookies!

[@michellesunshinestar]

I actually love German, and French. Spanish was too hard for me. I don't know why I didn't switch back into French for the community college. I need more of a schedule. I admire that of the Hutterites. I need an Orcam Learn for reading textbooks now. I have astigmatism.

[@shawndaheisser4462]

I enjoy your channel. I watch it before I sleep and it’s so peaceful and relaxing. 🙏

Bakery trick I learned: have a cup of hot water near you as you scoop and regularly give your scoop a swish. It makes it easier for the dough to come out of the scoop. Great to see you again!

I remember that one about the cookies your mum was baking the apricot ones. And you were making chocolate chip ones. Your mum won with the apricot ones, must say I really enjoyed that one your mum was great at that time. Well they cookies must have been great to make them a regular desert. Its good that mum's still help their daughter's cook , that doesn't happen so much thease days your on your own whether you like it or not.

[@debrachan1899]

Hi Giselle, long time I’ve been away. It was good hearing from you. I was afraid you were going to be cutting for awhile on those apricots. Lol thankfully, not so much. I feel like I’ve been gone for awhile or maybe you have. I’m not sure. I was in Missouri helping my Mama. She is doing much better so I came back home. Thank you for your video. This is a busy time indeed. Hi Priscilla!

It was lovely to see you back again my favourite you tuber.you have been missed a lot more than you know glad to see you're looking great as usual, while you've been away I've moved to Rothesay an island which is just across the water to Wemyss Bay. Which is not far from Glasgow, but I'm just so glad to see you again I hope where ever you're of to you have a nice time, see you again soon I hope. I know you're really busy but don't stay away so long even if it's a quick hi .does dandelions really taste like coffee? It's funny you seem to be the only one hearing the noises, i don't hear anything wonder if it's you being so close to it and you hear them .?

[@gisellewaldner9406]

I hope that your new place is wonderful, i don't know what they do to the dandelions but it's an all natural coffee alternative that tastes surprisingly very much like coffee and it is soo good 😊 i get mine from Amazon

[@mariegro09]

I think you could use the foodprocessor to chop the apricots if you added the sugar to the processor as well. Just do it every so gently.

[@gisellewaldner9406]

I think it would end up more of a paste or end up in a ball because they are so sticky, i have tried it before with dates, i do wish it would work would be much easier 😊

[@lindatohara6438]

Nice to see you. I have a suggestion to wear hand braces to prevent carpal tunnel syndrome caused by repetitive and excessive use of your hands. Any women on the colony experiencing sleeping, dead hands? I had surgery on both hands to release it. I also didn’t own a dryer so hung laundry daily for 36 years who knew it would cause arthritis? Please look into ways of keeping your hands from needing surgery. Aloha ❤

Good evening, miss Giselle, how are you ? Nice cookies, please send me some if there are any left. I am a cookie monster. Yeah, you guessed right, it's Doug from the land down under, your out in the open sacred admirer. I have noticed something about you over the last few vlogs, namely a special happy gleam on your face, something big is going to happen soon, right. You must tell us about it, so we can be happy with you. Nice scripture from the bible at the end. I think there is a little misconception about to whom it is referred too. Greetings, and lots of brotherly love to all of you. Doug.😘

It's great to see you back! I hope you have enjoyed the summer this far. Your baking always looks so amazing! I finally got to try some Amish baking yesterday after discovering they had a little stand set up for selling baked goods. I didn't even know there were Amish near me. After having tried it, I am sad because I'm in love with the goodies I got and have nearly ate them all. Now, I have to wait until Saturday to buy more when she opens again. Nothing beats home made baked good regardless of who makes it.

Worship and praise songs have a certain chord format that makes it easy to predict where it’s going next. That’s what makes them good community songs, and why certain songs become popular. Because they are easy to follow.
