[@mickeymousey1239]

diploma or certified are two diff things; a chef goes to University and works hard under the direction of a master chef for years usually owning their own restaurant. A cook just words hard but not saying your not a good one just a difference in what is considered a "real" chef which has a staff under him and runs the entire show.

[@mariansmith7694]

Awww, last bite sharing. When I was a young married woman, we were poor, my husband was young and always hungry. I ALWAYS gave him my last bites. Now I often give last bites to my dog, lol.

[@mikehoward8201]

I love lamb chops! My mother would salt and pepper them and cook in a cast iron skillet….just delicious! The last time I had some, we were on an unscheduled layover in New Zealand waiting for our plane to arrive to go to Perth, Australia. The airport fed us from a buffet. I spotted lamb chops prepared exactly like my mom’s, so I embarrassed my wife by getting g 10 of them with nothing else other than a drink! Oh, they were so good!

[@markshutt1476]

It's not just that it's hot and humid, but you are in period clothes in the woods. Really makes us glad air conditioning was invented. Why do you not talk us thru the cooking on the Early American channel? I love all your videos I've seen, thanks so much for sharing with us.

Dear Youngests, this looks delicious! But every time I see you moving the Coles around in the fireplace you remind me of my Great Great Great Grandmum. I am 99 and I remember seeing Grand mum working in the fireplace. And your oven , were do you put your wood ? But I remember at Great Great Great mums house having an out oven, but it was in a shelter connected to the storage room in Great mums house. It snowed there and so the oven could not be outside. Thank you both again!

[@LadyMeikoDubs]

I am not religious what so ever, but when you startet saying your prayers, I actually started to cry. What you said was really beautiful and I am happy, that you have so many wonderful people and so much love in your lifes. That is what I will always wish for, but that just doesnt seem to be my fate.

....I am very particular about Lamb, and I cannot eat it unless it's cooked a certain way. The best Lamb I ever had, tasted like that, similar to beef. It was cooked on a Rotisserie spit and glazed with an amazing sauce, but nit quite " BBQ Sauce ". Even my children, who are in junior high school at the time, did not know what this was when they were eating it and I did not tell them...lol ! It was a barbecue party that we went to and everybody brought a side dish and the host was providing the meat ..He had two of these on the Rotisserie and it was absolutely DELICIOUS and it did not taste gamey or anything like that..... I can't eat stuff like that. They ate two helpings, lol. Wonderful job on this, Miss Justine !

[@mariansmith7694]

I love your outdoor living area.

[@yvettejones5323]

I want to make this now. It looks so, so good. Even though it's 100 outside, the small breeze helps to at least move the air around. The stagnant heat is awful.

[@maplecosy9429]

Our neighbors gave us a croquet set and my whole family learned. I love croquet !!❤❤ The ' hoops' are called wickets. There's also mallets and stakes. You set it up in a circle with one wicket at the center of the circle. Your starting point and the one directly across each have 2 wickets to go through. The rest have one.

[@susansuits8001]

I've never had lamb....may have to change that. You two are awesome!

[@dimpleza]

Only halfway through, but keep the bones, simmer them for 24 hours on a low heat with a little bit of apple cider vinegar. Et voila: Lamb bone broth for use in soups, or cook it down to make "broth-leather" you can store and use later. Wonderful content guys!! Hope you can make it through the summer ok!

[@mariat3276]

I put bones in my crockpot covered with water overnight 10-12 hours. Very good broth.

[@normafleming2518]

My family plays croquet at every family dinner. We have two sets. One for the adults and one for the littles.

[@cindymckimm9947]

Hey guys, I think croquet has the misconception of being a wealthy person's sport. Have you seen the 1878 photo of Billy the Kid playing it? Think it's been proven it's authentically him. Your meal looks delicious and I really like the oven. Thanks for enduring the sweltering temps for this video.

[@debbiecrouch709]

Awe love the prayers always a must at our table. My husband had lamb in Jerusalem but I haven’t had it yet, he said it’s wonderful. As always love y’all’s videos so much. 💕 and yes Ron can do anything so talented!

[@SD-de4do]

Check out the history of the flood story! So much to learn

[@bohemiangypsy99]

Debbie I am from Australia and still here and lamb was a staple of most Australian homes. Lamb chops during the week and a roast leg of lamb with roast vegetables and gravy or a mint jelly to go with it. Now we send most of our lamb to export and we have some of the best lamb in the world apparently. I have never tasted gaminess in lamb not once in all my life and I am 65 now. Lamb is a farm "domesticated" animal right along side of beef and pork. I've had goat before and didn't find it real gamey not like wild rabbit in rabbit stew. Goat should be slow, slow cooked and it is some of the tastiest meat out there. You just have to want to experience different foods. Michelle

[@gaylefaulkner2360]

I am in Australia and I love lamb. When I went to America it was so expensive. This was a long time ago. So Lamb is my favourite.

[@mrstoner2udude799]

Being Greek...I LOVE LAMB! Lamb turns pink when cooked, smoked. Fresh gf lamb doesnt smell gamey. Also sea salt will not raise your bp. Its a whole food.

[@annam.6661]

I cook lamb often in Middle Eastern cuisine and in my experience when I rub the lamb down with spices and oil before cooking it gets rid of the gamey taste. Your way of preparing it by coating it in herbs, spices, eggs and bread crumbs and frying in butter is probably to credit for neutralizing the gamey taste. Sometimes you just get a bad cut though that is just a little more gamey and goat tasting. 😂

[@mitchellkruszyna109]

The casserole looks amazing! Croquet we used to play on picnics years ago, like horse shoes, many games have been forgotten. We weren’t rich, but knew how to have fun!

[@Towanda99]

It’s pronounced cro-kay. Not a rich people game. We played it when I was a kid and we were definitely not rich! I think it’s a 50s and 60s game. Maybe it’s a rich people game too but I don’t know any rich people. Lol... I can hear the stream in the background. Why not go for a quick dip to cool off?

[@hdfemale]

Watching this video today reminded me of when my family used to go camping in the mid late 60s and 70s. We all love the outdoors, and my stepmother had to be pretty innovative to figure out ways to feed five hungry kids, and my dad, and whoever else came by the campsite. I wish she were still here and I could share some of your tips and techniques with her. She would have liked that! She cooked a really good stew in her deep iron pot with a lid on it. But she put a layer of biscuits on top of the stew and piled ashes and coals on the lid and all around the base of the pot. I knew when she started playing in the fire that we were in for something good. She even baked a pie like that one time. Anyway, you all look like you're having so much fun, despite the heat. Blessings to you both! 🥰👍

[@kevinbaker6168]

The summer is why so many pioneers built porches on their cabins. It gave shade and a place to work outside of the cabin. Your outside oven and a "campfire" would be most often used cooking places. You need to get Ron to build a roof over the oven and the fire ring so you have shade and some protection from rain. Ron, you ought to hold a shoot sometime. If you remember the prizes were a butchered ox, it's hide and tallow. Since there are so many wild pigs you could shoot for the pork, hide and lard.

[@olbluetundra881]

Thank you for the video and prayer. Lamb is so good when prepared in traditional means. Living in the northTexas heat I feel for ya. I do all my cooking outdoors in the summer into the fall. Such a beautiful place and relationship you two have. Keep the videos coming

Baseball history... The game of rounders has been played in England since Tudor times, with the earliest reference being in 1744 in A Little Pretty Pocket-Book where it was called base-ball. In 1828, William Clarke in London published the second edition of The Boy's Own Book, which included the rules of rounders and also the first printed description in English of a bat and ball base-running game played on a diamond.

[@CosmicGaijin]

Lmao I was so waiting for a jumpscare at the end with the chicken. 😂

[@WarpFactor999]

Remember, "Good food, good meat, good God, lets eat!" Young lamb with the fat trimmed off won't be gamey. You may have had mutton (mature sheep) which has a very strong taste. And, if it gets Justine's seal of approval, you know it has to be good!

[@magtye40]

Played croquet at all family functions as a child, those I recall...few and far from memory!!! Hate the smell of deer blood...any game blood, really ...

[@mrs.g.9816]

You said it was 100 degrees? The food you cooked up must have smelled and tasted wonderful, because I know I have no appetite when the weather is that hot. I usually get pretty darned cranky, too.

Hi Ron and Justine, I would love to see an episode in which you guys forage for food in your local forest. I'm thinking along the lines of walnuts, leeks and mushrooms such as morels, chicken of the woods, oyster mushrooms, chanterelles etc... Even if you guys aren't familiar with this process I'm sure you could find a local person who you could dress him or her in proper attire and then Justine could do a episode on preparing and cooking them on Early American and Ron eating them on Frontier Patriot. Just a thought. Love the shows.

[@firstlastname7437]

I want them to try Yaupon tea, it is the only native (holly) plant in the states that is caffeinated naturally. The Native Americans were drinking it as a morning tea and ceremonial tea for over a thousand years. They roasted the leaves then used them like tea. It was so popular that it nearly ruined the East India Company trade until they put a corporate hit piece on it by naming it a vile name other than the name it was called in England "South Seas Tea". They hired a botanist to find it, identify it, then give it a scary name. That name scared business away in droves and ruined a starting tea trade. The name registered by William Aiton was "Ilex vomitoria". People in England thought it would make them sick and it further became lost to history after many native tribes were wiped out or relocated. Only poor people who could not afford regular tea/coffee still drank it. And it was looked down on for being a poor man's drink. But it was rediscovered a few years ago and is considered exotic now but can be bought on the internet if you have no local native bushes. You can buy them easily at a nursery as they are considered a good evergreen shrub. There is a mutant one call "Weeping Yaupon" and makes a beautiful small weeping evergreen tree/bush.

[@theresabravo6971]
