You may have one, but I was hoping y’all might do a video on selecting, choosing a cast iron pan. I want to cook with cast iron and make cornbread, but I just feel like I’m unsure of the size, which kind, is all cast iron created equal, and how to begin seasoning, maintenance. Thank you for channel and amazing videos and congrats on becoming grandparents! 💙🩵

I'm a 60 year old single man . I grew up in southern Wv. I love watching your channel . I like the biscuit dough better in chicken and dumplings . Take the Dumpling out and break them up and butter them and then put the chicken and broth on top . As a kid when grandpa and i would go hunting , grandma would make squrill dumplings . Matt is a lucky guy . Country life is the best .

So happy that Katy and your grandson are well. You must be thrilled to have your first grand baby. I know that Matt will be proud to have a young'un to teach all a boy should know to become a man. I love chicken and slicks. Probably my favorite soup. My okra seldom makes it from the garden to the house. I like it raw better than any other way. I am disappointed when harvest is so big I have to freeze it .

Mom used to cook her chicken in a separate pot and skim off anything that was floating at the top of it. She'd pull apart her chicken. Then with her dough, she'd make a double bach, cut them up in long strips, let her noodles dry out and then ball up her noodles to make them thick or thicker. She made wonderful homemade chicken and noodles! They were awesome ❤❤

[@gracelandone]

Good grief, Tipper. You are accustomed to it, but there is a huge amount of organization, talent and stick-to-it-ive-ness in the execution of this meal. I would give up ten of my big dogs, eight brooder hens and a pair of sixteen hand horses with a bad attitude for a meal like this. A nightly supper of this goodness will surely keep a family together, as you, Granny, and anyone who provides daily sustenance to their loved ones knows. Mazeltov on the birth of your grandson and the health of Katie!

My mom always cooked a whole chicken and lots of celery, carrots, and onions. Her dumplings were drop biscuits, and so fluffy and covered with fresh parsley.

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

We had the fluffy but yet dense, steamed dumplings that were yes, slimy if I admit it But they were coated w/fat flavor actually They were plopped on top the stew or soup and cooked 12 min - blossoming into balls of heavenly bliss that the stew was then served over I always ate 1 plain too Just SO good noodles are just noodles to me, not dumplings

Mama worked a full time job and brought sewing home at night to raise 2 kids on her own. But she ALWAYS had a southern supper with scratch biscuits or cornbread on the table every single night. Amazing woman, she was. You cook your dumplings just like my mama, and her mama cooked them. Somewhere down the line I started adding fresh parsley to the dumplings. I still do occasionally.
