Hi Mary, I love that u have started making videos more often. I really enjoy hanging out with you, you are so calming.

[@fkeen1954]

I love ordinary, quiet days, getting chores done, and just enjoying staying busy. Good video.

[@janetjohnston6281]

I love the mundane too. I spent many years as an ICU nurse so a quiet home is perfect for me. I love to piddle around my kitchen, baking, planning dinner, laundry- just everyday stuff. I am blessed.

[@janicew6222]

There is a book/movie called The Magic of Ordinary Days, both were good and I love the title because it is true.

[@jannier9766]

One of my favorite movies

[@CaliRose2020]

I love that movie! One of my favorites also.

[@lisabeten6457]

The simple things in life are the best!

[@VeronicasVeil333]

I love the simple and mundane too. I am 72 and retired and just love not having to be anywhere…….my fresh milled flour/bread is rising as I watch this. I was just telling my friend the other day that God speaks to me when I am doing the dishes……..for some reason……things get clear when I do my dishes or just putz around doing simple household tasks etc. Soaking flour!! Never did that!!

[@VeronicasVeil333]

Did you do a video on soaking flour, Mary?

[@vickiulrich6694]

I am grateful my husband had a good job so I could always be a full time homemaker. I never found anything difficult or mundane until my 3rd back surgery and now I dread doing dishes only because it’s so difficult to stand in front of the sink to do that chore. Hunny made risers for my dish pans so it’s not as painful but it’s still a difficult task. I always do a lot of my praying while I do dishes but now dishes are broken up into segments. Jack says that should be more time for praying and I guess he is right. I still like not having a dishwasher so I have learned to rethink how I do them. I have always wanted chickens but we have bald eagles flying around and my heart couldn’t take the loss. We live on the Chippewa River here in the middle of the mitten and ducks are not possible either. I do always enjoy when you share your animals with us. I do now have an outdoor kitty which I also said I would never have but someone dropped her off and when she found me she was starving and very thin. At first I just couldn’t feed it but my heart just broke so I guess you know I now have an outdoor kitty that I’m feeding…and have named Ethel because we have a kitty living up the road from us named Lucy☺️. I pray every day nothing will happen to her because she can’t be an indoor kitty as my 3 indoor boys just aren’t impressed with her. Life sure gives us trials to deal with and thanks to God I pray for all things to be easier and now kitty is part of my daily prayers!!!:):):)

[@mariaramsey7803]

I love when you post videos - it feels like a good friend came to visit.

[@pippylongstocking5939]

My sink is where I pray. I find the chore to be comforting. I have soapy water in my sink even before I begin cooking so I can drop what I'm using to "clean as I go". That way I never end up with a huge amount of dishes after a meal or bread making.

[@bmattyd]

I LOVE your kitchen! It’s so homey and inviting 💕

[@cricketnylund7329]

My morning has been so full of irritants , it’s dark and gloomy here in wine country, so it’s quite calming spending some quiet time with you. Cricket

[@cherylleatherman5037]

I also like washing dishes. I find it relaxing!

[@stephencameron1709]

Love the story of your turkey. Naan bread looks amazing! I too love ordinary days at home.

[@lynne5893]

Thank you Mary. Next best thing to sitting in your kitchen with you. ❤️

[@Marie-ey3bq]

One of my favorite household chores is doing dishes also. My next favorite is hanging laundry on the line. I really enjoy your videos. Thank you so much for all the time and content you put into them.

[@avillamomy7961]

So sweet of you to give that turkey momma some eggs to nurture. Love your channel ❤and your homestead.

[@tanyadvyse]

Thank you for tip on soaking the freshly milled flour i will remember that

[@debrapaulson7882]

I made a sourdough sandwich bread using almond milk and it rose so beautifully. It was nice and soft too.

[@cherylselby8476]

Your kitchen is so comforting to me. God bless you Mary.

[@houndherder6982]

I love your channel Mary. You have such a soothing voice and I enjoy all you do. Your bread sure looks beautiful and you are so correct about soaking the flour in the water. The bread comes out so much fluffier. The simple days are the best of days!

[@asa6987]

The simple ordinary days can be so rewarding.

[@beatricealcaraz5799]

Thank you I really enjoyed watching your video so relaxing .

[@brendajones8948]

Thanks for the info on the Berkey filters. I didn’t know what to do. If you Google Berkey you will see what happened to them, pretty unbelievable. Love your channel and I look forward to all of your videos. Have a blessed day.

[@lucyjones2184]

Love the simple days!!! Thanks for taking us along. 😊 I started following the Grains in Small Places method of adding everything except the yeast and letting the dough sit for 20-30min then add the yeast and knead, my bread has been amazing! Soaking really does help. Also an alternative for those struggling after the Berkey stuff - look into The Water Machine. It is made by a guy who used to work for Berkey and it’s awesome! It’s glass so you can easily see your levels and it doesn’t rust or taste metallic. Also fluoride filtration is built into the filters and not an added filter / expense.

[@TheRoseHomestead]

I will definitely be checking this out! Thanks for sharing!

[@suzie2080]

Could you do a video making the yeast bread from start to finish? I bought wheat berries and a grinder. I am so intimidated by it that I've only tried it once and the bread seemed so dry. I love watching your way of life.

[@TheRoseHomestead]

I will definitely get working on that! Look for it in the near future!

[@codyleeser392]

I 've been praying for you and Casey. I should have included the turkey. I buzz about the house on Saturdays getting ready for no work on Sunday.

[@TheRoseHomestead]

Thank you!!

[@sherriscreativemind]

I so love your kitchen with it's warm and inviting feeling... wishing I could stand up and bake myself some good bread. I broke my foot! Oh, well, it is what it is... God knows... :)

[@TheRoseHomestead]

I'm so sorry! I will be praying for you, I know that has to be hard!

[@sherriscreativemind]

@@TheRoseHomestead thank you! Prayers are appreciated!

[@jillslimm3949]

Love this type of video. Thanks friend :)

[@ruth8583]

Such a compassionate idea for the turkey momma! 😍

[@beatricealcaraz5799]

Yes that would be great I also bought berries and grinder but have been too scared to try it .

[@leahjeffries1215]

I love to wash dishes also!!

[@sicame580]

Hello Mary. For how long you soak the flour? Thank you for sharing your day😊

[@sharonmaresh]

I totally get that you enjoy washing dishes. For me, it's ironing, I love it. There's something relaxing and meditative about smoothing out wrinkles with a hot iron. 😊

[@vickiulrich6694]

Sharon…my son tells me no one irons anymore but I guess at least there are two of us still ironing. I can’t stand wrinkled clothes and doilies. Now every time I’m ironing I will think of you!!!:):):)

[@sharonmaresh]

@@vickiulrich6694 funny, my son said kind of the same thing when he was in high school. He's 36 now, but back then he said, "Mom, I'm the only kid in school whose boxers are ironed." LOL! If its wrinkled, I iron it, from underwear to bedsheets. LOL!

[@TheRoseHomestead]

I love to iron, too, ha ha!

[@vickiulrich6694]

Mary…I think we were born in the wrong century,🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

[@lailakassardjian3035]

Hello love your channel do you have this sandwich bread recipe somewhere? Thank you

[@cindypalumbo7503]

Thank you!!

[@sandrasykes3026]

The dough is beautiful! ❤️ your videos!

[@sicame580]

Ok, I got it🙈...30 minutes

[@wmjtalkington]

What butter do you use that is left out in the counter? Music is super soothing what is it? Thank you Mary for opening up your home and sharing gratitude💕

[@TheRoseHomestead]

It's just an organic grass fed butter. The music is on my video editor and I can't remember the name of the song. Thanks so much for watching!

[@rebeccaludwig7849]

I just love your dresses, the ones you bought in all the colors. May I ask where you bought them? I looked to see if anyone else asked, maybe I missing it. Thank you

[@TheRoseHomestead]

Thank you! Here's my link for the dresses: amzn.to/3QPoITW

[@marymundy-jones5663]

I'm going to do that with my elderberry syrup! Thank you

[@yadymoncayo294]

Thanks ❤

[@cindydavidson8511]

Mary I have subscribed to your channel and love learning your technique.Simple and delicious.Id like to ask you about the rise of my sour dough.My oven has a proofing function to it .I have not used it on your recipes.Could I use that proof function to help your recipes to rise quicker from my oven??You have encouraged me to cook more from scratch for me and my husband ,we are empty nesters so we don't need massive amounts of food.Your simplicity is especially appealing.Love your channel, thank you

[@TheRoseHomestead]

Yes, if I had that option, I would definitely use it. Thanks so much for watching!

[@FarmhouseWorthy]

Beautiful loaves. Simple joys are the best. I’m growing an elderberry, if the deer don’t eT it I’ll make syrup too. Is there a recipe you follow?

[@onThisJourney]

❤

[@suzyvance7328]

Mary, do you use the egg or sunflower lecithin in your bread. I made it yesterday and although I greased my pans it stuck. The recipe said to remove from pan right away but I think you have said if it sticks to give it 10 minutes then it will release?? I was thinking to use parchment paper next time. What do you think?

[@TheRoseHomestead]

Yes, I never remove my bread right away. I give it a little bit to release. Of course, parchment is great insurance against sticking. I mostly use egg. We have tons so that works out for me.

[@WholeBibleBelieverWoman]

BREAD QUESTION! I've been making bread for a while and I cannot figure out what I'm doing wrong -- in the sense that the bread I bake is kind of TOO tender so that I cannot slice the bread more thinly. Do you have any idea what I might be able to do to make my bread -- whether yeasted or sourdough -- a bit denser and easier to cut into thinner slices? (So cute about how the turkey feels better now that she is sitting on the chicken eggs!)

[@TheRoseHomestead]

I have this happen sometimes. I find that with sourdough, I don't seem to have the problem but with yeast breads, it does happen. I think it has something to do with the proofing time. Because it only happens when I let it go a little too long.

[@WholeBibleBelieverWoman]

@@TheRoseHomestead Oh, THANK YOU...! Your answer is very helpful...!!!

[@plantsnrockies]

Ordinary is beautiful indeed like our Savior was ordinary on earth, then why should we his creation not be so.
