I FAILED BUT I LEARNED A LESSON

[@barbaraweidenhammer7644]

Thank you for sharing Grangers Concert !

[@barbaramccarley5803]

You have not failed. You are a big winner. My dad taught me that if you learned from your mistakes, you havent failed at all. You are a winner. Congratulations.

[@jenniferpinto7044]

Now that's a great date! Granger is a stand up guy. You're very fortunate to be in his inner circle.

[@TexasArmyVet]

Love how you guy have become great friends with Granger! Glad you guys got to have a date night.

[@mrsdutch8994]

It was alot of fun

[@MaDukesMaDukes]

Says to start the freeze dryer up and let run for 30 mins to get cold, and leave the paper wrapper on them😊 (if the wrapper is plastic they suggest to slice a cut in th he packaging) Your a good Daddy Dutch, your girls hearts are going to be filled with so many awesome memories..💜

[@susansollee1839]

Great music! Granger Smith is a generous fellow.🌻 Great nite out👍🏻

[@mrsdutch8994]

It definitely was ❤

[@debbieholman906]

How awesome to attend a small more private Granger Smith concert. Cheers to you!

[@EddyFamilyFarm]

It’s amazing how much water chickens and quail can drink. I would’ve never dreamed they drink that much. Brandi We like the shirt thanks

[@michelleevans5531]

Ours drink a lot too. We also give the watermelons and cucumbers in the summer. We tried to plant our own melons and cucumbers but the Texas rain day after day for days, lol, ruined our garden this year.

[@jeanettec6212]

You girls really help out around home and that is so sweet.

[@debracalapan3867]

Thank-you for sharing your date night. Looked like you had fun.

[@mrsdutch8994]

Thank you! We did

[@lindahipp8329]

You don't know until you try something. Glad you and BRANDI got to go on a date night. Enjoyed listening to Grainger Smith. GOD BLESS Y'ALL.

[@virginiareid5336]

Lesson learned. Thank you for taking us along to Granger’s show.

[@susanpatterson7088]

Reminds me of the time my great-aunt Bee told the story of when her parents were gone for the week and her boyfreind who became my great-uncle Aubry came by. They made rootbeer and bottled it a little too soon and it exploded all over the kitchen. They had stored it under the kitchen table. She said that it was the worse mess ever. But great-uncle Aubry stayed and helped to clean the whole kitchen up. Great-aunt Bee said that there was even rootbeer on the ceiling.

[@7thswansong152]

Oh man, happened to me too, but inside the reefer. Glass +soda mess! The beginning of my fermentation life. Also have extra magic powers making bread🤣

[@delanomiller]

So glad Brandie and you got to have done time for yourselves. You both work so hard getting ready to move!! God bless you both and all your family. Enjoying the videos!!

[@DavisFamilyLife]

Always love to see how you interact with the girls. 👍 You're a wonderful example for fathers out there.

[@georgeabbott1329]

What a great date night.. The Grangers are beautiful people …

Ooops on the freeze-dried ice cream sandwiches lol...Love the nails girls! Thanks for sharing! May God bless n keep you n your family safe and healthy! :)

[@kcswolf]

Thanks for sharing your date night with us. That Grainger is quite the man.

[@gudnuf2060]

The ice cream melted before the freeze dryer got cold. There's a setting on it to tell it if the food is pre-frozen. It will then cool down before you put the frozen food in the FD.

[@cashk100]

Granger is such a great person! Glad you were able to make it out to see him for a date night. YEE YEE

[@eltomas3634]

You can buy several extra toilet bowl brushes at the dollar store and hang them up near the waterers. It's easy to scrub and brush out all the dirt, poop, algae, and debris from inside and out.

[@mrsdutch8994]

That's a good idea

[@grandmaofthree897]

Great idea!

[@kathybouziane5269]

That's what we use in the horse stock tanks. Easier on the back ! We use kitchen handled veggie brushes for cat/ dog bowls and another for the bird bath.

[@vivianwilliams2216]

So glad you got to get out on a date you deserved it after all the work you both have been doing. And most of all thank you for acknowledging what God has done for you and your family. God's blessings.

We do too ❤

[@beckymiller2185]

@@mrsdutch8994 I know 😀😀😀

[@ramonacase2952]

You confuse the sensors when you don't put something on all of the trays. Plus as others have said start the machine and get it below freezing before putting food in. Also I have done ice cream sandwiches a lot...I cut them in bite size pieces. I have never tried to freeze dry them in the package.

[@thedudleysdownunderhomeste4158]

Turkeys change colours. I rushed mine to the vet once for turning blue only to be laughed at.

[@donaldeverette6498]

Did not know that😅

[@maryburke6682]

Ima survivor donkey and animal sanctuary has a male turkey. They have had him a year. He was rescued around his wife's birthday. He does change colors all the time. They tried to get him 3 females one left another turned out to be a male. Him and the other female live over at his dad's house now. They rescued a female meat turkey at Christmas but sadly she passed away a couple weeks ago.

[@donnaflanagan6612]

🤣😂🤣👍🏼

[@michelleevans5531]

I thought there was something wrong with a Tom we had when he turned blue. Found out it was normal.

[@rhondaalbrecht]

LOL! Yes, it's just an emotion signal. Depends on the mood of the turkey.

What a great date night, seeing Grainger Smith in concert. Would love to see him live but no chance of that unless he comes to Ireland. 😉😄Miss all that country music, since we moved back to Ireland. Love your videos , Dutch. You have an awesome family. 💕

[@deanrichardson2911]

Cool, thanks again for a great show.

[@lynnbetts4332]

There is a setting for food that is already frozen. It goes straight into drying, since it doesn't have to freeze first. Don't mix room temp food and pre-frozen in the same batch.

Hello from Minnesota!

[@auntiem873]

I’m thinking the pigs are still getting shocked by the fence. It bows out towards them and doesn’t leave much room for them to get near the nipple. Use a pole to help pull it back away from the nipple and they may start drinking more from it.

[@TheWestlandgirl]

Yes, fix that asap in this heat.

Hi,Dutch and girls. Glad to see you, on the homestead #1,I was hoping 🙏ya'll would put Cold Water 💧all over your head 😉. Freeze dry anything is good in the Summer. You are so patient with the girls. Hi,Brady. Ya'll take Date Night 🌙from a grateful great grandma 👵❤in Toledo Ohio 👵🙏

[@virginiacurrey2019]

Don’t think I would like freeze-dried ice cream. Would taste like chalk. The joy of ice cream is the flavor, the creamy texture, and the cold of it cools you off. Have a good time ... be safe! How very nice to watch the show at Granger Smiths! Nice concert!

[@hammerslap5639]

Ice cream by definition has air in it... the industry calls it overrun. when you freeze dry stuff the air inside expands and that means it blows out your ice cream sammiches. Higher end ice creams have less overrun in them, so they would expand less. the one in the wrapper probably still worked cause the wrapper held the filling in place while the air was allowed to escape.

[@claudiaread1027]

Thank you for that Smiths concert! YeeYee Nice date night.💞

[@mrsdutch8994]

I really enjoyed it ☺

[@gingerreid8569]

I can't remember if it was Living Traditions Homestead or Good Simple Living...one did a freeze dried icecream sandwich and it was not in a wrapper...came out right...Always love Abe...thanks to you and Abe/Mary...we now have a Bourbon Red Tom, two Heritage Bronze Hens...we collected 10 eggs and put in incubator...we got 4 turkeys hatched Tuesday. the Hens and Tom are all 3 sitting on 6+ more eggs...We had previously purchased 5 Narragansett 7 day old poults...they are now 8 weeks old...know we have at least 1 Tom...he struts and gobbles...and today we bought a 4 mos. old Bourbon Red Hen...so we are now in the turkey business! We will also be incubating chicken eggs and selling chicks...goats, rabbits, turkeys, chickens, cows...all are providing food for us and selling some helps with feed bills...be self sufficient...raise and grow food!

[@davidbean5807]

I think you should try putting some double stuffed Oreos in some large marshmallows and freeze drying them. Don't know it it would be good but sounds good. You should also try freeze drying some packaged popcycles. I'm just curious if that would work.

[@t.m.button7229]

I am so glad you went out on a date night enjoy;)

You may need to invest in waterers like Hidden Heights Farm has. They seem to stay super clean.
