I Bought a New GE Stove And There's Been a Hiccup

[@susiescofield490]

I have a suggestion for your laundry mountain. Since your home schooling appears to be flexible, call a halt and have everyone to report to the clean clothes pile. Set a timer for 15 minutes and see how many items can be folded in that amount of time. Each time you need help folding, see if they can beat their previous time. Everyone is old enough to fold their own clothes.

[@stephencameron1709]

Good idea. Val C

[@annamaria8755]

I would suggest folding each load as they get done. If you don't have time then leave the drying until you do. You're just overwhelming yourself by continuing to dry loads and not fold them.

[@kristenschnese6980]

That is an excellent idea

[@bridgetstowers1212]

Good for Peter, going winter camping! You reminded me of myself as my boys were headed out, " um, do you have warm enough clothes! warm socks? the warmest sleeping bag? Jacket? oh yeah, I need my jacket." Hope he had fun! My oven broke during the height of the pandemic and we couldn't get one for months. I learned how to do so much with my crock pot, including baking some breads, like banana, cranberry, and spice cake.

[@stefanielynn84]

Maria is such a beautiful young lady! Great haul, the gifts for the kids look great. I have a 14 year old daughter and I know she'd love that stuff. The toy for the 1 year old is so cute. I feel you on the laundry - working on it now as I watch. 5 kids, homeschool. I'm never caught up. I love your idea of bringing double of what your family would eat at a potluck. Our church has a potluck every Sunday, and like you, I try to always bring something hearty, but I also like to make sure that I'm bringing more than we will eat. Sometimes I'll do a crockpot of meatballs and a cake or something like that. Feels nice when you see that everyone is well fed and happy :)

[@acountrylife]

At our church so many people bring chips and salsa or something similar so I like to take something hearty. You’re right it feels good to see people well fed.

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

Good morning all happy Sunday early night and happy Sunday morning and this was amazing video I enjoy your channel and you are amazing supporter

[@WillowsGarden]

Hi Jennifer and sweet family! Such a very busy week. Not having a stove makes it difficult to cook a meal, you have to be creative and between the crockpot, air fryer and propane stove you did great. Oh my goodness, I remember stringing popcorn as a kid for our tree. Good way to feed the birds Maria. Joe was quiet, he is growing so tall. Peter is a outdoorsman for sure, he really enjoys it. I hope you all have a very blessed weekend!

[@Bnsmimi]

Hi, to my favorite KZbin family. It is always fun to see what you are all up to. Split pea soup is one of my favorites and seeing yours really makes me want to make some. I have a friend who usually brings us a ham for Christmas and I will wait for that to make it with the bone. Those wreaths are gorgeous. Your friend’s daughter is very talented! I loved seeing Maria hanging the popcorn string for the birds. She has such a sweet and precious heart.❤️

[@ayronsmama05]

What the what! I never thought about popcorn strings for the birds. Fantastic idea Maria!!

[@acountrylife]

Maria is very sweet that way...to think of the birds.

[@janesecaraway3995]

Oh i hope your stove piece comes in!! It just won't be the same without your holiday cooking of desserts, casseroles and such! I always learn something new from you every year! Be safe and warm! ❤😊

[@Chickennoodlesoup4you]

Add home ec to homeschooling. That includes laundry the kids can help. Cooking and baking housework.

[@TeresaRaab-hb5co]

Toddler clothes are so precious.

[@susanling9386]

[@nan----]

The piece that comes up in the back sure does help with splatters. 😊❤

[@mom2LandM]

The magical way I clean my screen above my oven is LA’s totally awesome cleaner. I put it in a disposable pan or in the sink and let it soak in full strength cleaner and it will be spotless in about 5 min with NO scrubbing. Then I obsessively rinse it and let it completely dry before I put it back on!!!

[@acountrylife]

I've never tried that! I should though.

[@roisinpatriciagaffney4087]

Hi Jennifer, happy Advent season. I'm sure the stove will be going great guns in your next vlog. The gifts for the giving tree were so cute. I love the large, outdoor manger/nativity scene; it's so magical ✨️ ✨️✨️✨️🎅🎄🎅🎄✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️🤶🎄🎅✨️✨️✨️ You're looking extra well today, Jennifer, beaming 🎉 Peter did a great job with the vension. God bless 🙌 the Brockmans. ✨️✨️✨️🎅🎄🤶🎄✨️🎅🤶🎄🎅🤶🎄✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️

[@nancyosgood777]

That was beautiful looking venison! I can tell you take great care in cutting it up. My husband and sons do the same and then we also grind up our own burger.

[@AliciasInTheKitchen]

I hope that you have gotten the propane conversion piece in that you needed. This time of year (especially) it is hard to be without a stove. Wishing you Hope, Peace, Joy and Love this Advent!

[@yvettegerry9862]

I think I would have bought a griddle for grilled cheese and eggs and stuff like that . Maybe a electric skillet and don’t you have an instapot and a crockpot? You need to take a Covid test . Soup sounds so good! Hope you feel better soon. The wreaths are beautiful! 🎄☃️🎄

[@juttakasapis6408]

Sorry to hear about your stove, how disappointing that is. Nice garland for the birds Maria 😊 Awesome video. I'm excited for you to use your new stove 😀😊❤

[@christieflesch3750]

Looking so pretty today not that you don’t always look so pretty love all your videos❤❤❤

[@karenchakey]

Great to see everyone, i always enjoy your videos God bless

[@Madelinechriston]

Hi Jennifer! I hope that you are feeling a bit better❤ You know, as I was watching your video, I kept trying to think of all the creative ways that you can get a meal cooked - ranging from the microwave, a countertop oven, crockpot, etc. But I quickly realized that you had all the bases covered yourself! The meals you ended up making, no one would have thought that you didn’t have an oven. They all looked so delicious (soup), that I would have never thought otherwise. You’re a real trooper! I could only imagine, especially being so near the holidays, what a strange feeling it is. I love all the Christmas gifts your family has gotten for the giving tree. What a beautiful idea. Here, we have Toys For Tots. But with yours covers different age ranges, which i thought was especially a nice idea.

[@deniselakatos5418]

Hi Jennifer. Getting things done. Sorry about the stove. I still cannot believe how grown-up Joe, Peter and Maria are looking these days-literally watched them grow up-how very special. Hugs.

[@acountrylife]

They're growing up fast! Have a great Monday Denise 🫶

[@SoniaGarcia-h3r1p]

Great Grocery Haul.👍🏻 Happy Saturday and have a Great Weekend. 🙏🎅🎄

[@debgordon6542]

Hope you're feeling much better Jennifer ❤. I'm sorry you don't have your oven but it didn't slow you down one bit. I have similar issues so Ive become quite creative. Cornbread comes out fairly well in the air fryer😊 Loved the items for your Angel tree kids. So very thoughtful and generous of your family & the true meaning of Christmas ❤

[@reginalancaster5626]

always love seeing you all! Feel better soon, Jennifer🥰🥰

[@FayeHolt]

Great video...I would call where you bought the stove and have them replace it with a new one...they cost so much and it not to work is on them not you...Red Bdge of Courage was a good movie but it is a good lesson in growing up maybe...your deer meat looked great...a busy time of year...I have a Wolfgang Puck oven that does 10 separate ways of cooking and I goes weeks without even using my stove..

[@kimshaffer8787]

Your local propane dealer might have one (our supplier of propane sold stoves) or someone that sells propane furnaces might have one.

[@lorigress2494]

Hi Jennifer! With all the dance recitals and different Christmas activities with the grands I just watched your video. I was wondering if your stove was up and running? Ours went out during the heart of quarantine and I got the only one they had for my built in. As you said there are other ways of cooking but gee nothing like losing the oven during the holidays. Hope you’re up and baking by now. 😊

[@NReed-xh1cd]

Enjoyed tagging along with you. Hope your stove is installed SOON. Did the greased lighting work good? It looked like it did from the camera view. Great system to process the venison. Merry Christmas!

Do you have an air fryer? Grilled cheese turns out good in the air fryer. Baked potatoes can be done in the air fryer.

[@christieflesch3750]

I didn’t know that about the grilled cheese off to try that I love my air fryer

[@MyPawPrintLife]

I hope you’re feeling better🥰

[@lindashively2530]

I’ve not had good luck with any GE product. Problem with refrigerator in the mid 1980s. From the 1990s problems with stove, dishwasher and refrigerator, washer and dryer. (All bought for a new house we built) Problem with GE refrigerator from 2007. I now will not buy GE.

[@acountrylife]

You definitely gave them a chance.

[@anne-mariewildbore3725]

Re the stove I feel your pain! My cooktop is broken oven still works tried to get it fixed needs new parts which were supposed to take 3 weeks about 10 weeks ago. Decided to buy a new one to find they have a three week lead in time between ordering and delivery. So no cooktop for Christmas dinner in this house

[@kimeverhart6253]

So sorry 😞

[@kittyrichards9915]

Oh my goodness gracious! We all know that feeling. A Christian school near us was selling Dada k lives as a fundraiser. I ordered a couple. Feel better fadt.

[@mollysmith6055]

Aw, sorry to hear about your stove issues. Wish you'd been able to get a Frigidaire 'Professional' range. I'm VERY pleased with mine and a fuel conversion wasn't needed; hope that's just a memory for you now. Please do link the French language book...my grand-kiddos are eager to learn Spanish and I bet that company would have great resources for Spanish too. Have to grin over the commercials on your video, they were unexpectedly fun and geared to this time of year and NOT OFFENSIVE! Woot, Woot! (Thank you, Goya...I'll seek more of your products in thanks!) And, sorry but no matter how much I love 'The KZbinr', if the commercial is offensive I will not watch and sadly deny the revenue from it. (As I'm sure you know, there are some really disgusting ads!) But so glad when it works out as a win/win. There must surely be Mullein growing on your land, please do teach the kids to look for it in '25 and teach them to harvest, dry and store it safely to help protect all of you from basic winter 'yuck' where you need to keep those ENT fluids flowing freely. I'd never learned about it until just before 2020 and "that" current health condition. ;) I am so grateful to our Father that He provided that herb in advance of the need of it. After researching it online and learning all the benefits of it, I'm positive it was a Heavenly Gift meant to sustain us during that time. And the funny thing is that Mullein (Verbascum Densiflorum) is nothing new at all yet here we are 'discovering' it just now. So funny!

[@mollysmith6055]

And a PS...if you truly don't have any Mullein on your land, please let me know and I'll mail you some seeds of the common Mullein I have growing here. You have been so wonderful to make your delightful spice blends available to us out here and if I can repay the favor any small bit, I'd love to be able to do it.

[@kayemoore]

I love you and your family! Do others drop milk as often as you all? I’m just not that familiar with dropping milk jugs and I laugh in shock every time. I’m starting to wonder if I need to buy a lottery ticket cuz I’m lucky and don’t drop milk “regularly” … lol

#2 comment...wow, my mind is 'blown' by the internet response to your video. I've seen several that are selling cooking appliances and also some that are just attempting (?) to redirect the internet member to join in on an internet 'party'. ? All of this seems very interesting but I'm worried for folks who might be prone to internet scams. ?

I also like Black Silk coffee. i would have been upset if someone delivered my stove and I couldn't even use it. Never heard of that before. Kinda crazy to me. They have always set mine up. hahaha at you and the milk situation

[@kimeverhart6253]

I don’t think I would be nearly as patient as our kind Jennifer. I would make them take it back and bring me a new one. This is just not acceptable. Period. That appliance is too important to her family’s function and it costs way too much hard earned money to be treated this way with a brand new item. Nope nope nope. Want this older farm wife, retired RN, Grandma of 10 to come up there and take on Home Depot for you, Jennifer?!! 😂😉🥰😘

[@marykoufalis7666]

What am I missing about why the kids can not be folding laundry? They are more than capable.

[@duckmanyeah5738]

Electric skillets and electric griddle are very handy. Plus your other electric things. You're be ok for a while.

Next time you clean your stove vent screen try using dishwasher powder or jell or tabs. It cuts the grease well. I use hot water and put them in the sink and let them soak overnight.

Is this a part that y’all can take off of the old stove?

[@cumberlandquiltchic1]

I went to see Tom Hamks movie, HERE. I really enjoyed it.there’s a couple more out now I need to go see before they’re gone from the theater here. I really enjoy the movies. I went years without going… seems there wasn’t anything I wanted to see. I always enjoy your videos.

[@cumberlandquiltchic1]

The children are really growing up quickly. I can see a big difference, more teenage looking. I like the idea of the andwich wrapped in lettuce. Don’t have ow of those around here, but could make my own. Good idea.

[@cumberlandquiltchic1]

The wreaths are so beautiful! I’ve put the popcorn and cranberry garlands outside after the tree was down in years past. That’s nice Maria made the garland. I love the nativity! One day I’d like to order one, I’ve always loved those. Hard to find .

[@vickiulrich6694]

Jennifer…when my soup is a bit thin I crack the lid and put a wooden spoon between the crock and lid but if I don’t have a great deal of time to serve I add a bit of potato flakes in the soup BUT don’t get crazy or you’ll be serving paste🤭. I love seeing littles clothes. I have no grandchildren and it’s looking as though I won’t so thanks for sharing that experience. Maria and Peter are growing up so fast and that Joe…he has a mind all his own. Tell Joe we NEED just a quick hi and a smile from him and then we’ll know all is good with him😊. It’s just Jack and I but I’d be lost without a stove for days and days. I have a crockpot and use it frequently, have a microwave and it gets used daily for heating or melting but a stove is a necessity. Good luck with indoor camping and I know you’ll make the best of it. I must say the last movie I went to see in the theater was Christmas with the Kranks! Been a while!!!:):):)

[@kimeverhart6253]

Ps…Hi! The trick with the wooden spoon and the crockpot lid really works for evaporation! I make crockpot applebutter this way! 😊…KE

What does that mean?

[@MNTNSTARZ80.]

You rely on appliances too much. We cook on a 2 burner campstove and anything that you you can cook in an oven you can cook on a gas grill. Just put a pizza stone on the rack and temperatures will maintain better.

[@anna27446]

Most people use different appliances though-relying on a 2 burner camp stove wouldn’t be helpful for a big family or for any family at that.

[@MNTNSTARZ80.]

@anna27446 🤣 there are 6 in my family and frequent visitors so I'd say you're wrong on all accounts. We've lived without electricity for over 11 years and used absolutely nothing electric. Besides, they're only without a stove for a little more than a week so a campstove and gas grill would be fine.

You need a milk crate for your car to place your milk in.
