The look on Ariel's face when she heard all those mustard seeds hit the floor made me laugh out loud! I'm certain I've made that same face when I've spilled something 😂

[@jnash5137]

I missed the seeds hit the floor; do you remember about the time stamp? Thanks,

This is a pleasant surprise on a Monday evening! I enjoy watching you guys so much!

[@suseyq4559]

Hey guys, just a note about your pasta maker. Start out with thick setting and put dough through. Cut your dough, put through smaller setting. Repeat until desired thickness. You don’t ever need a rolling pin. That is the general rule on these machines. It will preserve your pasta maker and allow for great dough for your needs. Love all of your videos. Watching since you decided to move to Alaska. Your progression in life is very commendable. It’s all hard work and your viewers know it. Great, great, beautiful videography and content!

[@shodson314]

Well said on all points!

[@mrwes100]

fold in thirds and then reduce the setting

[@heartofmythril]

Came here to say that but wanted to check if someone else said it already. Nice job.

[@loisbourgault47]

Exactly

[@dremaclover9775]

Exactly the instructions that came with my same pasta maker

[@anishasen8959]

Hi Ariel, awesome recipes. We too make sweet brown mustard here in India. It's called Kasundi. The brown mustard seeds are nothing but mustard seeds with the husk on. The husk gives it a more pungent taste and once de-husked, we get the yellow mustard 🙂

[@karenmckay1372]

Hello Eric & Arielle!...& of course Bandit , Bo & Pepper 😁 Look so forward to watching your video...keep them coming...thanks for sharing! 😉

[@tina6277]

For a smoother tasting percolated cup of coffee add a pinch of clean crushed egg shell and a scant pinch of salt to your ground beans then perk. Cuts the acidity and bitterness from the oils it can get after sitting a bit. This is a tip from my great grandmother when she had me make her a pot of coffee. I was about 13 she was 82. She learned to cook on a wood stove.

[@SalLeeHolland]

Tina, my Grandmother and Mother use to do that too! Then later took the grounds and shells outside and put it on the plants.

[@kimkerley4218]

Yes my Dad always put salt on his grounds before turning the coffee maker on.

[@karobythell4425]

Yes I do that too in NZ because my Grandpa did

[@robynearl]

This is true! The eggshells really work!!

[@LINBCATES1]

Would this work with ground beans for French Press?

[@tjs114]

I hope you know that the mixing bowl you said was porcelain is actually pyrex? As is glass, not ceramic. And in case you're curious, the pattern on your bowl is called "Butterprint" and was one of the original pyrex designs, made between 1957 and 1968. It is also what's called a "Cinderella" bowl because it has the pour spout/handles.

[@SimpleLivingAlaska]

Yes that was a mistake :)

[@suzannesnow7485]

The opening drone footage is simply gorgeous… can’t wait to watch the rest… 2:02 … Mustard making was amazing! Ptarmigan bites sounded delicious! Great fun, thanks for taking us with! 💞

[@sherryl8203]

You pretty well covered it all nicely!! I agree with you all the way! Such beauty, character, & truly educational. I love reading all their comments as well! Eric & Arielle, thank you so much for continuing to share your life's journey with us!!! I'm a thrift store fanatic & love looking at every little thing. Like Christmas, you never know what you'll find! God bless y'all. 🙏❤️🙏😊

[@johnensminger7675]

Beautiful countryside up there! God's creativity and handiwork!! Nice Job on the camera footage! Thanks for sharing your life and your thoughts with us!!🙂 Love your channel!!💗

[@annstewart1983]

OM gosh, that was amazing. You guys did a fantastic job with the mustards. Don’t you just love to look at your beautiful cans of food on the shelves? I literally sit at my island and watch my jars seal, it’s music to my ears. You two are such exceptional young people and are good role models for others. Please stay safe and warm-God bless you both.

[@donnamullins2089]

Mustard and jellies look delicious. Puff pastry is a winner. Great find on the pasta roller.

[@lynnloehr1566]

Loved the bloopers! Great video. I make homade wontons and crab rangoon and you can put a little less meat on those and then fold the square over into a triangle. Before you fold, dip your finger in water and rub that around the edge, it helps the pastry to seal, and then when you bake the filling wont dry out. Your pastry looked great!

[@Zentranii]

the trick with the pasta machine is to start at the thickest setting and work your way down to the thickness you want the dough to end up with. yes, it also depens on the dough, but i think you would be able to work that dough you had down to the thinnest setting. loved the video, as always. lots of love from germany.

[@joanntucker2742]

Never thought about canning mustard. You sure are smart.thanks for sharing 😊😍

[@PoliteTeeth]

I’m always so amazed by the understanding you both have of flavors and how to pair things together. If you ever have another Q&A, could you elaborate a bit on how you guys cultivated that? Was it just by trial and error and testing what tastes good together and what doesn’t? So fascinating to me.

[@brendag2891]

Minnesota and Alaska have the same weather, and amount of daylight. Gorgeous drone footage, you are so professional!

[@sohailakhtar5474]

Hello guys. Beautiful video of canning homemade mustard with all organic ingredients.Keep cooking,canning and smiling.

[@staceyhazelett2397]

I love your honesty while making food. Things have to be modified as I go along as well! Ariel's face though 🙃😂

[@saraherber1887]

Sometimes I use pickle brine in place of vinegar...just because I am frugal. My family also likes red onion and chili peppers in the mustard. I can it in the smallest ball jars. You mustard looks wonderful!

[@elizabethfairlie8296]

Sounds yummy.

[@contactsuzi7096]

TRUFFLE SALT?! I just love it when you get in the kitchen. Now that I know snow keeps you in the kitchen (Arielle said so), I hope you have a few more snowy days before winter skedaddles. I'm so impressed with tonight's creative cuisine. Buckets of homemade mustard, berry butter and then PUFF PASTRY? to make Tarmigan-in-a-Blanket for dinner. Knock me over with a feather. And Eric found the handle to the pasta maker in a pile of cutlery....I would have assumed the machine was donated busted and left the store teary-eyed. Well. What a lovely surprise tonight. Many thanks! Suzi

[@angelahagood3639]

Can I just give a big Thanks for the first two minutes of this video??? So completely relaxing! The snow is beautiful. (We only got a skiff this year ☹️) Love the canning episodes! My favorite mustard is a raspberry mustard I received as a gift and have wanted to try making my own. You both inspire us to go for it! I enjoy canning this time of year. During late summer/fall it’s just too hot! 🥵 Love the treasures you find thrifting! You guys rock!🙌🏻 Looking forward to the Dijon mustard!

[@Jaynes-Path]

For the pasta roller, Acre Homestead makes her own pasta and she shows you how to roll it out. She has made many different kinds. I'm sure they are in a playlist. Great find!

[@marcellacruser951]

Hi guys! Great video. I'm a homemade condiment fan, myself. One thing you might want to add to your kitchen gear is a hand cranked food mill with a couple diameters of mesh screens. They're fairly inexpensive and invaluable for processing large batches of everything... fruit sauces, berries, tomato and tomatillo sauces, what have you. It removes skins, stems, core gunk and seeds; leaves you with a really smooth puree.

[@elizabethfairlie8296]

You guys just warm my heart. Kia Ora from WHangarei New Zealand. I've been canning and preserving all my life. I call canned goods "look like" food. I'm just sorry that so many people don't get to taste the real thing. So I love your videos.

[@KirstenEvans232]

Looking forward to your next one!

Great lead in with the drone. I wish I had vids of my Grandmother canning. Reminds me a lot of those long gone days. We use some Worcestershire Sause on our ruffed grouse, different sweet but spicy taste. The berry butter looks wonderful, could almost smell it. Picked those when I was up in the north country. Very good. Thanks, you all take care.

[@dorothyallen3614]

Beautiful scenery, thanks. Love the pastry maker, your mustards were amazing, it made my mouth water and my imagination of the taste of the mustard ❤, yummy and what fun to watch.

Hi guys love the home made mustard. I do a Spicey Honey Mustard that is so good. Homemade has so much more flavor and way cheaper to make. Thanks for sharing!

Im not a mustard lover but I actually find honey mustard is great to add to so many dishes for a flavour uplift . I loved your apple berry butter recipe , it looked so wonderful and I could almost smell it ! Love your channel , warmest greetings from New Zealand

[@danamama6766]

I always leave the apple peels on when making apple butter. If you cook it long enough, when you blend it, you can't even tell that there were peels in there, and it enhances the flavor. Love the mustard and berry butter!

[@starfarms664]

Great job you guys! I've been making mustard for several years. Using an Ale, or a white wine to soak the whole seeds in gives an awesome balanced flavor. The difference between same day mustard vs 30 days old is night and day. Every mustard I have made is hot the day off, and more mellow and complex over time. Can we have an update down the road??

[@ArielleViking]

Your mustard and fruit butter sure look yummy. Some great finds can often be got from thriftstores. Awesome Ptarmigan recipe. 👍

[@davidstoddard9160]

Years ago I had went to Mall Of America and saw the pumpkin butter and thought if they can make it , so can I and did. It was a lot of work starting with baking the pumpkins and organizing all that first , and next step is cooking it down of course, I made it like a apple butter recipe or similar and I was really happy with the results. It takes a lot of pumpkin, similar when you do apple butter, because it is cooked down so much .

[@artemiasalina1860]

As an experiment you might want to try a little baking soda in your mustard recipe to make it a little less spicy. I do that with tomato sauce to make it less sour. You could even put some of your finished mustard in a test container and add some baking soda to that so you don't spoil the whole batch. I only use a tiny amount to sauce (it depends on how mild you want it, but a very small amount does a lot). Its also fun because it makes the sauce foam up for a few minutes as the acid is converted into CO2.

[@paulinemanca-dl6qf]
