Let's give this a try!

[@Zuzu-72]

Hey Laura, i've been watching you for so long and one of the many things i love about you and Joe is how hard you work to get where you are. You don't have everything handed to you on a silver platter. Everything is pure hard work. P.S your cookbook is on my christmas wishlist.

[@cynthiacarpenter7995]

Laura melts my heart ! I said the same same thing to my hubby and I am, since few months, been discussing it with my hubby regarding getting a big rectangular freezer and a fridge for the garage. I say it's the best to have both so you could store extra veggies and fruits for salads, juices, soups, etc.

[@joannjacquin4983]

I have a second freezer AND refrigerator in our garage. Don't know what I'd do without them. Love having the room for all my Italian cookies that I make ahead for Christmas and other special occasions!

[@ifpeaceexists]

" oh.. the things I can freeze." is also what my mom said when someone asked her if she wanted a free freezer lol. I kind of like those magnetic containers that stick onto metal board or fridges. they're usually big round containers so big spoons can get in it.

[@TheLifeofKiara]

NEW SUBBIE HERE. I think I've watched at least 30 vlogs in the last 2 days haha. I just bought your cooking book! It'll be here on friday! and its the first cookbook I've bought and I'm glad its yours! Just subscribed last week and i have to say you guys are now my favorite vloggers! I will be vlogging myself trying out your recipes! SO EXCITED! showing love from Alaska! -Kiara

[@CrochetKrissy]

We have an extra chest freezer that we have right in our kitchen. We live in Michigan and you have to watch putting freezers in garages or outdoor areas that are not heated because the extreme cold temps in the winter cause the basic freezers to quit working (they do make ones rated to handle the cold though). Love having that extra storage space!

[@fieldsk23]

Love watching you guys!! I had growing up a freezer and fridge out in our garage and a fridge in our basement. I love seeing the awesome relationship you have with your sister Laura!

[@macgurrl]

You guys seems to be having so much fun and the time of your lives doing what you do. I take it you are loving the ride.

[@pink2nt47]

Joe you should surprise Laura and fly her nonna here for christmas!!! maybe Sal could come with too so she doesn't travel alone!

[@rainbowcherry1555]

oh my goodness yes! cool idea

[@Idosify91]

+Sarah DiPiazza yes yes and yes!

[@cherylynn927]

We have a freezer in the garage ( in Michigan), there is a problem in the winter. When it becomes very cold out side the freezer doesn't work (food doesn't stay frozen). Freezers in garages are not recommended in cold states, FYI :)

[@nicholassmerk]

+cherylynn927 They sell ones that are rated to be used in that condition. Not all are.

[@nakkiel7]

Hi Laura, I love your videos! Please make a video about what foods can we keep in the freezer, for how long and such, also what kind of vegetables and fruits do we keep in the fridge.

[@MariamMayat]

Also, my extra spices I store in large idea containers in my pantry. I just top up as I need. It works very well.

[@catherineriemann7772]

Joe, When you spray paint ...take a box and put holes in it with an ice pick...then push the screws through and spray the tops while your spraying the brackets. Works for me every time. And I have a freezer in my basement. I also love canning.

[@debi10131]

Laura, my daughter is buying me your cookbook for Christmas. Yay! Can't wait. So excited. Love you Laura, and you too Joe.

[@JLF909]

yes agreed. I grew up with both a fridge and freezer and so did my husband so now we want both as well lol

[@janw03258]

I have a regular fridge/freezer in the kitchen, another fridge/freezer in the shed AND a stand up freezer in the shed. And there's just 2 of us. And I'd be lost without them! Also, for your spices, which ever jars you use, store them on the inside of one of your cabinets with little shelves with a dowel to hold them on the shelf.

[@lisaprather3752]

We live in Texas and have a refrigerator in our garage as do about 75% of the people I know. Either in garage or utility room if it's big enough. Deep freezers are also very popular here.

[@twix5201]

I grew up with 2 freezers in the garage. a stand freezer and a chest freezer. my dad was a hunter so the chest held meat. the standing freezer stored all the peas and okra and corporate and lots of other vegetables harvested during the summer. I am from Georgia, USA.

[@KristinaMcCoy1]

I have a spare fridge in the garage and it's amazing to have especially for the holidays!

[@monikita777]

This is a fun video. Especially the part when you guys were talking about the apples. When we lived in North Carolina, I would buy the best apples from the farmer's market to make apple butter.. oh my gosh!!! great stuff. I'd buy a specific amount for the sauce and if any were missing I knew my daughter had gotten into the bags.. lol!!! she loves them too. But, we always forget the names of the apples..

[@crysomqh9519]

Oh my goodness my sentiments exactly on the things I can freeze. My family had a giant freezer which was bigger than me and my mum requested for it. The sad thing was she passed away a few mths after my dad bought it. However now I'm married and all and after discovering Laura in the kitchen (she gave me inspiration to cook and bake) I wish we cld have a freezer tho as our apt is like a bird house (very small). Love u guys xx

[@fchino-jr.3340]

Yes, that's funny, we have a refrigerator in our garage as well! Comes in handy when we host large parties and holidays! Love you guys❤️ Ciao

[@agdeiu9508]

Have a frig/freezer in the garage and a large freezer in the basement. love them both.

[@aquilestadeu]

I do have a spare fridge and freezer in the studio. Really handy.

[@jean-marclariviere7618]

In the USA they have that new collection...clear, green and smoked gray...all clear and with the lids attached, as per your smaller ones...you should give it a shot....break a leg in your new project...

[@Ishahahsi]

We use a spice box in india which has basic spices and then another one for special spices. You can find it in literally every home. And they come with small spoons. If you want I can send you a link of what it looks like

[@camillajarman5390]

I have a big chest freezer at the end of our barn house. It's been so useful.

[@dogmom007]

BTW, Laura I love how you have done with your beauty room. I have been wanting to do that for so long but our current spare room is for guests when they come over so I can't really turn it into my own. So, I took the bathroom that is attached to the guest bedroom and use the sink as my vanity. For some reason, my family( a hubby and two boys) love using that bathroom. :-(

[@cherdela1]

Love you guys!!!! As always, thanks for sharing your time with us.

[@ritawisniewski656]

Hi Laura, I go to the Container Store, they have small glass ball jars, they are perfect for storing spices. Also, Penzey Spices are located in Chestnut Hill in PA. I enjoy cooking shows on KZbin and tell everyone about them.

[@tiffanywebber1620]

Just received your cookbook in the mail! Bought it for myself for Christmas but my hubby won't let me even open the front cover! I am dying!! I can't wait! Xoxo

[@sean8563]

we have a second fridge/freezer in a large shed at our cottage. Holds the beer and anything else that doesn't fit in the main fridge well.. ;)

[@thenguyenershow5783]

I do I have 2 big freezers. It's what we put our fresh fish we catch and some meats.

[@yeimyrodriguez8516]

I love those Pińata Apples they are delicious!!! I miss living in Michigan where apple orchards are everywhere!!!

[@SallyGreenaway]

Speaking of fridges - we're getting a second fridge next year!!! It is comical how excited I am about it....

[@TheAmbermarie52008]

LOVE when I see a new vlog from you guys pop up. Makes my day.

[@jodi1geo]

Hi. Spice measuring spoons are narrow to fit inside of spice jars. Oxo brand has one that looks nice.

[@TimaHabib]

Hey Laura!! There is a spice store in Philadelphia in University City area, you can find whatever spices you could ever think of!! that's where I usually go to get my spices.. it's on 43rd and Walnut.. And it's called the international store.

[@MidgetFootStoolFPS]

pasta al forno is literally the best! my Nonna makes it to perfection!

[@SoulinTheBowl]

I need to send Joe a bottle of Apfelschorle... the awesome stuff! greeting from Germany, Vitales!

[@sidneyswannnn]

YEP...couldn't live without my extra fridge and upright freezer. My holiday baking is so less stressful. One run for everything! :)

[@Just_Jelle]

We have an extra freezer in the basement. It's great to stock up on things during sales.

[@evepaludan7713]

I would love to know how to make Chicken Bryan. Thank you! All the recipes I tried came out fantastic! xoxo

[@dogmom007]

I always threw away the allen wrenches after we assembled the furniture. I should take note of that. Thanks, Joe.

[@inlight2024]

Thank you for the laughter, ;-) and the food.

[@leedzpugz876]

Laura and Joe, I miss the logs! :( You both always make me laugh

[@kati3874]

Hope you post a vlog real soon I check everyday if there is a new vlog up... miss you guys !

[@tammymcguire6863]

Hey Laura and family! Love your videos and have tried several recipes - can't wait to try more. I have an unusual question - we are building a house (first time ever) and I am working on my kitchen. I have a similar layout to yours with the kitchen island in the middle. Could you possibly tell me the dimensions of the work top of your island? It seems to be the perfect size for all the prep work. I would really appreciate it.

[@laureno8269]

laura! can you do a video on what fruit or veggies you keep out of the fridge? i saw you kept tomatoes on your kitchen table. also can you make spiedini all romana? i had it at carmines in nyc and would love your recipe!

[@susanchaisson3722]

Love you guys! I have a refrigerator and a freezer in the cellar along with our fridge downstairs. They are all full :)

[@tanyabell6455]

We have a chest freezer and an extra side by side fridge in out garage.

[@dancingwholeness]

I miss seeing you. I hope all is well with you and your family. My prayers are with you and love you both very much!

[@diellzatafa3510]

Hey Joe, I live in Germany and what a lot of people here do is, when they don't have Apfelschorle, they just mix one part of apple juice and one part of sparkling mineral water, try that! Really, you can adjust the concentration of the juice part to your likings! I hope that helps :D love you guys

[@MarilynWiley]

We have two refrigerators and two freezers. Living on a farm and butchering our own meat and living so,far from town i always buy to store in the freezer to save gas and trips. Gosh i have a mini store here if it wasn't for needing milk i know we could go weeks. With out going to town. Yes Laura you need a freezer and am surprised you don't have a second fridge in the basement for you show kitchen it sure would beat caring stuff up stairs. Love you

[@alexandriarenee6154]

I miss your uploads!! Looking forward to your next vlog! :)

[@olgamogensen1118]

[@musicfile98]

Good luck with your project!

[@cHeLLieGurL6]

My parents always kept a deep freezer AND a fridge in the garage for extra storage. It was super handy because my mom would make a BOAT LOAD of extra food.

[@finerday]

Laura..you can crazy glue the lid and collar together for mason jar spices

[@katievogel8430]

When shes cutting the onion at 6:30 I was like freakin out the way she was not looking at what shes cutting and keep on talking. LOL

[@picframe000]

if you're a good cook you have a pretty good feel of what you're doing with the knife and food especially when you're holding it in your hands.

[@boobaoo]

Always so happy to see you both From us here in Fall River Mass.Aparecido and Anna

[@Frankieb_22]

My grandparents have an extra fridge and 3 big freezers in their garage and my in-laws have an extra fridge and a big freezer in theirs. I think it's really common and you should get one and freeze all the things lol!

[@CiaoBriella]

My spice jars are similar to the short roundish parmesan / peperoncino flake jars you may see at a pizzeria, they are perfect :)

[@wilhat]

My Spice Sage! I love them! I order my Madagascar vanilla beans from them. They are the best buy I have found.

You can get spices from any Indian store. They will be much authentic and more fragrant. Edison, Jersery City and Philadelphia have many Indian stores.. :)

[@vicinalucinda]

Do you always make a weekly/monthly schedule together?

[@patriciamoore.8214]

Love your style in decor ❤️❤️

[@nicholassmerk]

I have a large chest freezer and a medium sized fridge in the basement. I wouldn't want to go without the freezer. It's important to me to keep my stored food in a deep freeze.

[@NotBornForThisTime]

Do you have Michael's where you are? They have wider mouth jars with chalkboard labels for $1.50 a piece. Usually near the checkout with the bins of smaller stuff.

[@myladyazucena]

when u said freezer and all the things you could freeze the first thing that came to mind was the episode of I Love Lucy when they got a freezer and she went out to buy lots of meat 😂😂

[@dlissa]

Laura you should go to the Indian grocery store for spices. They are all about fresh spices and the prices are really great

[@CrowShadow]

Hi Laura & Joe ~When I lived in NJ I had a Chest Freezer because I had a basement ... so good to have back up stuff like that ... but now I live in NC in a smaller house with no basement but am still trying to work out where to put a freezer ... we have both a front & back porch & I have thought about putting one on the back porch but it is not climate controlled out there; so I was thinking that in the summer it would take more electricity ... I would very much like some feedback on this ... has anyone put one on a back porch, and if so, did you notice it affecting your electric bill?Regarding using Mason/Ball jars for holding your spices: There are one-piece lids you can get to put on Mason/Ball jars ... I imagine they can be found in Michael's ... they have a section for lid options on those jars ... that is where my daughter & I found the pump lid for the liquid hand soap jar she wanted to put into her bathroom ... I'm pretty sure I saw the one-piece jar lids there. Also, there is a type of jar with a cantilever lid with a rubber seal. Thinking they may be good for your spices, Laura ... they come in varying sizes, have a wide mouth & a good seal ... Hey, maybe create your own style spice jars & sell them under your brand name!I store my empty canning jars in an outside shed but not jars which have already been filled with food ... I am thinking they should not be exposed to any more temperature variation than necessary once they have a processed product in them.
