Cooking Winter Dinners & Staying Warm at the Cabin

[@Astrohhh]

Was the audio super quiet for anyone else?

[@janicesantiago4152]

Yes! I thought my tv volume was broken lol!

[@mollyewithanE]

Yes I have it cranked up to 45! I hope it doesn’t scare me later in the episode!

[@wandac396]

Super quiet on my end too.

[@michaelmorrow6853]

Yes

[@janicesantiago4152]

@@mollyewithanE yes that’s what I was scared of cause I had to put my volume past 60. So I just switched to my phone.

[@warrenbruce-h6h]

Incredible openning sequence. National Geographic quality.

UP to National Geographic, for me 🙂

Except that Ariel's and Eriks are better.

You two should be proud of how good your cinematography and editing skills have gotten.

[@KentMarsh]

Absolutely, perfectly simmered production, giving thanks too them for sharing! Love you folks!

[@AntManBee19]

Couldn’t agree more. The intro drone video was spectacular!

[@Duncangonefishin]

100% true ! Always wonderful shots in every video

[@df4291]

Underrated part of this whole channel is the sublime nature footage in almost every episode.

[@Chasing72]

Totally agree!

[@joycehennequin8469]

The two of you should without a doubt get an award for your filming,its FANTASTIC ❤

[@lynnloehr1566]

Tonight the kitty is the star of the video, adorable in the box! The scene at the beginning was gorgeous, and the food looked amazing.

[@grantclarkson9184]

That isn't just any kitty..

The drone footage in the beginning is incredible. Can't wait to watch the rest

[@kathrynepler6877]

I love watching you two cook, such amazing recipes

[@puirYorick]

Pepper is such the savage defending her home-box from the alien cat toy. Your cooking segments are more enjoyable to me than any of the TV shows with star chefs, food stylists and production staffs.

Let me double comment because idk why I always look forward to you guys cooking a meal at end. It's amazing and looks delicious!!

The sourdough was the best looking bread I've ever seen 😊

Same. It was stunning.

[@angelakobriger2209]

@@MaryDanen-xq2zl I know! She makes it look so easy ! I’ve made sourdough a ton but I don’t have predictable results where I can just go by feel . I love Ariel ♥️ she inspires me so much !

[@Rostro-jl7ku]

Guys we never have any problems with the audio,but this video I’m having real problem hearing you guys. ??? We in our 60’s maybe the reason. Keep doing a wonderful job.

[@diannew5264]

Me to, hearing aids dead😂😂😂 shouldn't have been listening to heavy metal when I was younger

[@carybea]

No problem to hear them on my end . It was good

[@carlasworld8571]

It wasn't just you, I had to turn up my volume to hear, then boom high volume ads, ughhh!!!!

[@noyopacific]

I was wondering if the audio might have been messed up on my end too. I had to crank it up to hear it. Nevertheless, thanks for the video Arielle & Eric !!! I always enjoy the aerial shots. I got a drone myself but so far have been too worried about crashing it and so have yet to send it up.

[@Slassetter]

Problem hearing the video. I put in my ear plugs and it was better. I enjoy these videos so much. I hope y’all had a great Thanksgiving! God bless!

[@mrsp7324]

The video is great. For some reason the sound was very low on this video and I had to turn it up to 26. Then the commercials would blow me out of my chair. LOL Thanks for the teaching video on sourdough bread.

[@susie.goodwin1356]

🤣😅 Same! I had headphones on! 😅😅

[@mrsp7324]

@@susie.goodwin1356 Oh my! That would be painful. LOL

[@tylerbegg954]

Beautiful drone footage! I also agree with Ariel on the pasta, can't beat home made. I have the same roller/cutter and the trick is to let the dough dry out a little first before running it through the cutter. In a pinch if you don't want to wait, flour it, fold it and cut it 👌

[@djnana1156]

You guys can cook that's for sure. Love the way the both of you work together, its rare.

[@carlapierle8623]

Man, those gorgeous shots of God's beautiful Alaskan terrain and animals get me in tears every time! And your wonderful looking food makes me hungry every time! Lol. Love watching you both cook and how you utilize your ingredients.

❤❤❤ anytime I see you guys drop a video. I stop everything else so that I can catch it. I love the photography and the video that you guys always intro with. It's spectacular. I've been watching your channel for 4 years and I'm an avid fan😅😅😅😅

[@DesTondola]

I don't comment often, but the sound of the crust of the sourdough read just made my mouth water

[@Noone-rt6pw]

@@DesTondola Sourdough does sound good! Just think, at some point fresh dough or sweet dough was desired, but someone may have got sidetracked, forgot the dough having it in a bowl with previous dough not washed out, then were hungry and was the last thing they had, so went ahead and cooked it and found out it was good. Or someone ran out of fresh flour, so took mash from the mash barrel and cooked it!

[@barbjohnson8753]

Yes I noticed that also

[@connielikens3415]

Wow! The winter in Alaska seems cold and lonely. You managed to impart that feeling through out your video with intermittent silences. Then you've left me with a feeling of winter, full on, with the sprinkling of warm and cozy meals. Nice place to land! No audio issues here!

[@onmywayhom4994]

I can see you both enjoy, making the utubes, it shows, makes it even more enjoyable to watch people who love life...

I know that you as well as us miss the dogs but I am so happy to see you interacting with and talking about your cat. I've always had both in my family but due to age we have lost our cats and only have 1 dog at this time. Both animals can add so much to our lives with love and care and I cant imagine not having any. Please keep including your cat in your videos and all the ways he impacts your lives. Catching that mouse that tried to move in for the winter is something mine would do every year without fail. Good Kitty! A bit of salmon is a nice reward for your efforts, lol
