I had a “thanksgiving” baby yesterday. She was supposed to have been born on Christmas but she couldn’t wait for Thanksgiving

[@debrawilliams9982]

Congratulations

[@tinasan3870]

Congrats !

[@rachelharris725]

🎊 Congratulations!

[@jeanineruby]

Wow that is awesome! Congratulations and welcome to the new little lady!!!

[@farangarris2598]

Congrats to you and baby. I had my son on thanksgiving day nov22,1979. I had just taken the turkey out of the oven, with the whole family showing up at the same time.

[@autumnsun7379]

My word! What doesn't Ron do?!?! He cooks, builds, crafts, plays drums!!!! He's so multi-talented!!!!!

[@DavidWvu]

And a professional photographer too.

[@amel2784]

Ron and Justine would have been very valuable individuals and members of any community back in the day. They have such excellent skills and calm, kindly but strong personalities.

[@mskotz]

Looks like Ron took a hard fall off the roof 😮He seems to be alright thank goodness:) I vote yes for the Christmas tree 🎄

[@rachelharris725]

Ever heard of Bubble and Squeak? It's a British thing. It's usually Monday nights dinner using the Sunday roast leftovers. You mix the leftover veggies such carrots, cabbage, celery, onion, in to the mashed potatoes. Season as desired and form into patties. Dredge in flour and fry in a skillet with a bit of oil. Usually served with leftover roast or fried sausage. I was raised by my English grandmother so practically grew up on it. This reminds me of that.

[@rae1957tn]

There’s a lady on YT that just showed how she makes it. She enjoys showing life in the 40 & 50’s .

[@rachelharris725]

@@rae1957tn oh cool I'd love a link. My granny was ww2 war bride, married my East Texas redneck grandfather. Made for an interesting combination growing up. It really messed up my accent. 🤣

Gordon Ramsey has a video on how to cook Bubble and squeak!!! Yum!!!!

What memories… I grew up having bubble and squeak on a Monday after a roast dinner on a Sunday!❤

Wow, thank you for sharing. That sounds really wonderful.

My wife was telling me "that young man Ron is so talented. He does woodwork, builds things, a photographer. He's open and honest. Is there anything he can't do?

Save the duck fat.. makes lovely crispy potatoes.. Happy Holidays to you both ❤❤

I bowed my head and prayed with you guys thank you for that it felt great.

[@user-su5fl7yl7o]

same! That was lovely

[@connierackel3639]

Really sorry you had spoons stolen. Also hate hearing about the fowl words and feeling given to your friends. But thank goodness it's only a few hateful people.and doesn't speak for the majority. I love your blog. I learn so much. I love history.

[@mammahasspoken]

The problem you were having with carving the duck had to do with it being cooked upside down and then, served upside down. The breast needed to be on the top. That would have made it easier to cut the meat off of the breast.

[@frontierpatriot]

Good eye!

[@pattyfarghaly1821]

OMG whenever that duck snapped I lost it lol. Poor Ron. I love these two shows. You two are awesome.

[@frontierpatriot]

Glad you enjoyed it!! :)

[@grimdesaye6534]

Your Cabin looks So Lovely in the snow and the Beautiful decorations. You guys look so warm and cozy inside:) Nice it seems like True Haven:) We all so need that in this modern world.God Bless you guys.

[@marieleopold1625]

SWEETEST Couple EVER! This was a VERY interesting and informative vid! Thanks so much 4 sharing it with us! Terrible history about 'chimney sweeps'! Find it interesting how George Washington liked hot chocolate in the morning. A man of SUCH accomplishments...do we dare begrudge him that? LOL! I think it was a good idea really, as it gave the calories needed to take on the lifestyle he lead. Yes, chocolate in the morning! This show proves the 'strength' of a duck...small but 'mighty'! Kinda like Justine eh? Ron will be quick to chime in...'Oh Yeah!' Nice job on the spoon rack Ron! The talents U BOTH have and share will make your homestead a wonderful place...your present home is a fine example of what is to come. I simply don't know how U have the time to get at your land. The food looks just soOOOoo dee-licious! Take care dear ones. Health and God Bless! P.S. Yes, 'Peter and Catherine' R a part of our true treasures in the faaaaar north! His 'wee bits of history' enrich us all! :)

[@katiedawnk50]

You two are so funny! You make me laugh and lift my spirits.

[@gemma9248]

I live in the middle Georgia area. Back in the 90s, in April, we were having a typical gorgeous spring day. Temps were in the mid to upper 70s and peach trees were in full bloom. That evening the wind began to blow and the temperature dropped drastically. By morning we were in a full-blown blizzard! Something I'd never seen. We ended up with about 3 inches of snow! And no peaches that year.

[@colinthiel1283]

Georgia moment

WOWWWWWWWW WOW 😮 WOW 😮

[@jessiefrye3045]

It's precious and wonderful to see and hear yall say the Blessing. I bowed my head and agreed with you.

[@Susan.1958]

Justine you are such a good cook love watching you doing the old time meals and I love watching when you and Ron are talking us through the video bless you both love from the U.K.🇬🇧❤️❤️

[@brycat61]

The way you prepared and served the duck reminded me of how the farmers in the south of france cook and serve roast duck it looks so good!

[@davidcox3076]

It's a very simple, rustic dish. Perfect for farmhouse tables anywhere.

[@Boone22]

I love those ornaments. What a great way to teach children of our fore fathers.

[@bellabailey1183]

Omg!! The scene with Ron following thru the roof was so unexpected. It was an lol moment for ne!

[@kathymoll7010]

So happy you both met each other. Justine you needed a man with a healthy appetite and Ron you are one lucky man. Looks delicious ❣

[@glennda1939]

You both are the sweetest couple! God bless!

WOW WOW!!!! My daughter and I had roasted crispy duck at a Taiwanese restaurant on thanksgiving 2022!!!❤🇺🇸💪🏻🇺🇸🙏🏻 (With all of its delicious rich juices in steamed rice and sautéed eggplants!) WOW!!!!!! ❤heart❤!

[@myraarquitt9123]

I was taught to cut duck, turkey or chicken on a cutting board then place the meat on a serving platter. This made it easier to control while you cut. No chance of breaking your beautiful plate. Those potatoes look great & delicious. I love watching you cook.

[@mdrummer4063]

You two are just the cutest!

[@user-by4pv4hc5s]

Ok!! Just seen the video from 2022! And one loved the way Ron did the chimney sweep never would have know that until I’ve been watching and loving your shows!! And I love duck and those potato balls look awesome!!!!!!

[@jerrihadding2534]

I am still laughing. “A Dorn in his butt!” I lived in Germany for 10 years, so I do speak German. And if I wasn’t loving you before, which I was (!), your recommendation for “Outlander” would have won me over entirely! Bless you both!! ❤️🙏 While I lived in Germany we always had candles on our Christmas tree. Extraordinary. The tricks to safety are ALWAYS having a person observing the lit candles ready to jump up and blow a candle out when it got low and also having a bucket of water in reach. In ten years I never experienced even a minimal “emergency”. I HIGHLY recommend doing this at least once, even for five minutes. MAGIC! ❤️

[@lorriephillips653]

I absolutely love the Christmas tree ornaments!! You are so sweet together and make me and my husband smile and laugh. Have a warm and blessed Thanksgiving!

[@sharonharrison3611]

I love you guys. You have the best videos on KZbin. You're both so talented and sweet. Thankyou for all the history lessons. ❤️💙

Wow, thank you!

[@myidentityisinjesus8880]

I'd love to see a Christmas Tree in you home 🎄💓

[@keahithefieryone8513]

Mom always stuffed her duck with bread, not to be eaten, but to absorb the oil and made stuffing on the side

[@margiemorales3297]

Excellent drumming, Ron and friend. My daughter used to be in drum line in H.S. I've always loved the sound of marching drums. Thanks for showing us. 🍃🍂

[@JW-es5un]

FYI Indiana is the number one producer of Ducks in the United States. Save the Duck grease to fry potatoes in for another great meal. GOD BLESS FROM JULIE WEST CENTRAL INDIANA FARMLAND ✝️🇺🇸😊🚜

I tell you, they always make food that really sticks to your belly! I hope you 2 have a good holiday season here's to a great 2023!

[@dmittie9761]

If my vote counts, I vote for a Christmas tree for you two, it doesn't have to be anything grand but you were gifted those wonderful colonial ornaments and it would be awesome to see them all displayed. I'm definitely going to try out those potato balls that Justine made... they looked delicious!! Wishing you both a Happy Thanksgiving! 🥰🥰🦃

[@annpierce9250]

Cutest episode ever and the house is so cozy looking! Good job guys!

[@margiemorales3297]

Good block, Ron. I was expecting her to slap you in the face with that goose wing she was pulling on! Hilarious. A+ on that dinner, Justine. The goose was beautiful, and the potato balls...my oh my oh my! Many blessings to you!

[@maryathey280]

You two are great - good sense of humors and beautiful people from the heart. I had duck once when I was child - we lived in Maryland and my parents to me to a real nice restaurant in Baltimore and was served duck - very greasy but was very good also from what I can remember. Love your show - need to watch Early American to watch the cooking of the meals. Looking forward to Thanksgiving video.

[@hillaryhollins667]

I love you two! Thank you for giving me a smile today! I needed that so much! I have a recipe hint for you Justine, before you roast the Duck my great grandmother who was all French very Parisian , she would boil the duck to get the fat and Game taste out too.then she would roast it! Much less fatty, save the fat for other purposes. The potato balls with nutmeg is French put a bit of cracked pepper. I am 79 now that grand mama lived I. The 1800 ‘s Love always Harriette Hillary Marrinier Hollins😊🦆🥰👍🏻

[@lfwagh4679]

You two are just too adorable. Love you both and your channel.

[@olbluetundra881]

Not sure how I missed this one. Nice work on the duck. That's what we're having this year. Duck and pheasant. I'll I have to try the potato balls. The mushroom ketchup is great. Make my own using the Townsend receipt. You two have a happy t day and God bless.

[@peggyperk1231]

loved this! Cant wait to make the potato balls. and on a side note, being in retail, I have had one or two people like that where you cant please them no matter what you do. We cannot let the squeaky wheel get the grease. Keep on being the beautiful couple that you are and spread the kindness.

[@cosmic-fortytwo]

You guys are so fantastic. I love watching how you do things and seeing how much pride you put into your work.

[@rdbrnr86gt]

Great stuff you two. Did Ron really fall THROUGH the roof!?! That had to hurt a bit. I would say you should have a period correct Christmas tree (without stuff that will set it on fire.) The food here looks so amazing! I really enjoy the historical references and education here too. I can imagine it would be fun to have a period correct day/supper with you two.

[@majagoedegebuur9451]

Hello Ron and Justine, love you videos. My ancestors are from Germany as well and guess what, my maiden name is Pilgrim...I kid you not. Talk about the teasing I received...well, let's not. Anyway congrats on the new land and engagement.

[@aceventura3837]

With duck you have to render the fat the best way to do that is with the oven on moderate to low place the duck on a rack in a roasting pan fill the pan half way with booing water and place in an oven for about two hours. Then crank up the heat to achieve crispier skin

[@beckygriggs7827]

I don't understand how I missed this episode, wierd, never tried duck before-is it good? Maybe some day I'll try cooking one 😆 no judging from me , Ron on the carving 🤔 handmade gifts mean so much more to me, those ornaments are so awesome and sentimental, nice job

[@frankiejwilliamson8678]

To keep the grease down on a duck or opossum boil it first for about a minute diiscard that water and repeat the process two more times; then bake as normal. This was my great great grandmother's method and she got it from her grandmother and so.

[@regal3451]

The meal looks very appetizing. Ron, those drums look very creative and fancy.

[@frontierpatriot]

thankyou very much!!

Love Outlander 👍 I read the books and love the series 👍

[@queenlioness7056]

Interesting - I never knew that was how the chimney was swept back then and it didn't have to cost you $250. I learned something new. You need a much sturdier fork, made of iron and maybe a sharp knife for carving. I've never seen anyone fight with their bird while eating before. Don't get hurt in the process. Ron, please be careful being on the roof and wear a mask when cleaning the chimney. That sounds like a death sentence doing chimney sweeping. Poor children. I am not judging Ron. I can tell that bird is tough to dismantle. Cool Christmas ornaments. Thank you for sharing so much with us. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

[@LT_flow]

Bless you both and Merry almost Christmas! Pie is life. Thanks for another fun video, it made my day.

[@delilahfrost]

People's conduct never ceases to amaze me! Sometimes, it can be just downright embarrassing. It seems like some folks just look for reasons to gripe & complain, even when the problem is not even close to being serious & has a relatively simple solution. In a world where there are truly major hardships, I just don't see any need to manufacture problems where there really shouldn't be any. I can't think of any scenario in which a spoon would cause such turmoil. Unless someone is using one to try & pop out a person's eyeball with it, maybe; but even then, it's not the spoon's fault. I think you guys addressed & handled the "Spoongate" situation very tactfully. I swear, wonders never cease! P. S., I really think Justine should definitely revisit the idea of writing a cookbook.

[@dallisnicole7101]
