I just want to gush for a minute about how much I adore and appreciate you and your content. I love that your children are never shown or exploited. You and Chris are adorable and you really set a fantastic bar for parents/couples on the internet. Thanks for not being weird.

[@carilynncrochets]

Re: the burlap and barrel spices…I work with the people who mill and package these and let me tell you, the entire building smells AMAZING when they are milling these! Always a fantastic day at work, especially when they’re doing the kitchen pepper blend! Yummm!

Can you imagine if the spice company & the popcorn company combined for the cinnamon sugar twists?!?

[@payad4778]

To me, the point of using a paper towel is actually that it’s disposable… so I use it to clean messes that I just don’t want to deal with. Like wiping pee off the floor,etc. so having a reusable paper towel that you have to clean just doesn’t make sense. Then just use a rag., or a cloth?

[@Shetooktothewoods]

Same. I keep paper towels for gross things. Otherwise, I have dozens of blue car detailing microfiber cloths I’ve had for two decades. Some of them were even previously used as cloth diaper liners for my now-adult children!

[@loes6839]

Same! I only use paper towel when there is pee of puke somewhere. Other than that, I have been using the same microfiber cloths for many years

[@amandaz5789]

its so interesting how different countries feel about hanging things to dry vs using a drier. In new Zealand using a drier is a special thing that is only really done when its wet out and even then most house holds dont have one. it is very common for people to just hang things out to dry

[@GalacticGoddess46]

Same, as an Aussie we use a clothes line rather than the dryer. The heat from the sun dies your clothes, has antibacterial properties and doesn't cost money.

[@xtayalex]

Our weather is too cold or too wet half the time in Canada. Dryers are the norm. Its expensive.

[@3kylajsmith]

I'm from Newfoundland, Canada and we use a line when the weather is nice. I grew up with mostly line dried clothes but long winters do make it hard to use it all year. I love sheets especially on the line. The sun can fade clothes so some things I hand on a rack inside.

[@kerriefleming6297]

It’s the same with their heating some just don’t have it or if they do they never use it .

[@TheNinnyfee]

Asafoetida is called hiing in India and a garlicky-smelling spice that is often put into lentil and chickpea dishes. Helps against bloating as well. In German it's also called "Stinkwurz" = stinking root, but that's mean. Its smell is potent and garlicky, but I don't think it stinks.

[@barbiesorensen4376]

I think the cereal you are thinking of for the round corn balls is Kix. As a kid, I really enjoyed it because it had less sugar compared to the other kid cereals. Berry Kix was my favorite, great for snacking without milk. 😋

[@sarahsinton2279]

Or maybe Corn Pops

[@barbiesorensen4376]

@@sarahsinton2279 True, I forgot about that one. Kix is smaller compared to Corn Pops and the popcorn Rachel displayed was small, so that was the first thing that came to mind. 🙂

[@marciwhitman3513]

Have you ever been to the ENT doctor to make sure that you don't have something wrong with your nose? You can have a deviated septum which would interfere with your sense of smell

[@Poppylima]

I love Penzeys for spices! As for the paper towel replacement, a better option are UNpaper towels by Marley’s Monsters if you want a purchasable option. You can also make your own with cotton flannel fabric in any print you like, cut to about 10”x12” (prewash and dry before cutting), and sew a zigzag stitch along the edges. Reusable, dryer safe, and they can be rolled onto an old paper towel roll!

[@kelqueen9998]

Penzeys has great spices!

[@whatamievendoing3416]

For me, the draw of paper towels IS that they're"throwawayable." If I want a "reusable" version, I'll just use a washcloth or something.

[@kvd963]

For the turkey carving, my dad always does the carving, and the electric carver we use has smaller (skinnier) blades, so you can get into the tighter spaces easier than the one featured in this video

[@sdsx]

Fats or oils in your compost will attract rodents! Also, slows the breakdown of waste. Not sure what chemicals are in that fat-solidifying product. I would avoid putting in compost, which might eventually make it into your garden and your food. Solidifying grease makes it easier to dispose of in the trash, though! Oats will also solidify the grease - and birds love the mixture.

[@kelqueen9998]

The Fry Away is plant based so I would guess cellulose. But I agree the compost pile probably isn't the best place for it.

[@goodemily]

I just save salsa or spaghetti sauce jars and pour it into those. This is a waste of money.

[@Oh_that_mle]

Yeah, I was like “please don’t compost that much oil. It will cause the surrounding food to rot and not compost plus attract all kinds of unwanted guests.”

Pipcorn uses "upcycled" grain (it says right on their package). Which in theory is fine, but if you're looking for pure, high quality heirloom corn products, I would use something else.

[@_Its.Just.Felix_]

i have " reusuable paper towels " there's a set i bought many a year ago that snap on the corners and you roll around a central tube that can slide onto a normal paper towel dispenser. They are machine washable and dryable but the snaps do clink in the dryer like a button on a pair of pants would so i would just keep that in mind. i have two sets that i swap back and forth. I have not bought paper towels in like ... 3 or 4 years. They are so old the branding has long worn off the center tube. That being said they have MANY different kinds on Amazon. 👍

[@amya8316]

The cheesy balls look like Kix! Maybe you could put your fancy cinnamon on your twists to make it more!!

[@madimoe8331]

10:11 The blackening in the spices is due to oil remnants. So just better quality and packs more of a punch

[@BlackKatX]

I'm just glad I'm in México. We can just go to the mercado and buy locally sourced spices that are not expensive at all!! Whole cinnamon sticks, vanilla pods (those are expensive tho LOL), pepercorns, cumin, dried chiles, the whole nine yards.

[@yfroggy13]

16:55 the cereal you're thinking of is kix!

[@Sumean]

I was thinking it might have been Canadian Corn Pops actually, our version is different from the USA Corn Pops as they are spherical and smaller, a lot crunchier too.

[@AndreaLynnW]

I always look forward to seeing what t-shirt Christopher is wearing each video! Ha! He has a great selection!

[@lawa3295]

I don't know about Canada, but in Germany you actually shouldn't throw the compostable bags in the compost. They're only compostable in theory. In reality, the bags don't meet the requirements - they don't disintegrate in the same time as the rest of the compost under the conditions prevailing in a composting facility. Also, oils do not go into the compost at all.

[@lexiepsy]

I have something to the bamboo sheet I just use one at a time till I throw it away, I just set it on top of the dryer to dry

[@k1lyth]

I used similar bamboo cloths when using cloth nappies, which means I was washing them at 60C and putting them in the drier. They held up great and long after the kids were potty trained I’ve still been using them in the kitchen for cleaning up spills. It took a while to get out of the ‘paper towels are for gross stuff to throw away’ mindset, but now every time I use kitchen paper I feel like I’m throwing money in the bin 😂. I keep a washing basket for them, towels, mop heads, and other stuff I wouldn’t want in with my clothes.

[@reetslee7431]

I bought a few rolls of bamboo paper towels a few years ago and quickly realised that they aren't paper towel replacements, they are just cloths on a roll. But they are fine for that. I still use paper towel for anything really icky that I don't want to rinse off but I use these for everything else. I usually just rinse them under kitchen tap for a couple of uses then just wash with a load of towels. I line dry them... but I line dry everything. They are really nice to use when new, they look ok once washed maybe 2 times then after that they are still useful but don't look very pretty, so then they just get used as cleaning rags. I cut a corner or 2 off just so I know not to put them back in the kitchen. I'll keep using them until they are gone but I don't think I'd buy them again.

[@Chrissydarlin82]

I haven't bought or will buy any of these....but the cereal mention makes me think KIX, which reminds me that I'm an adult and I'm allowed to buy that cereal now. I've never had it in my life (frugal parents who didn't believe in name brand cereals), but as a kid I was always super jealous of the kids in the commercials who got to eat it. Mentioning that cereal gave me that covetous flashback, and now I'm going to go buy some.

[@jtpadilla1]

So when you can really smell spices or really anything like lemons or oranges grapefruit you’re smelling the volatile oil unfortunately because there’s more volatile oils in the burlap and barrel spice blend, they’re gonna burn more rapidly you’re seeing the caramelization of the spices a lot faster so if you want to maintain the spice without getting that caramelization you might have to put it on under the skin

For the used frying oil, you can check if your area has any of those places that converts used frying oil to biofuel. You can probably just collect it somewhere animals won't get to it and maybe drop it off to them or have it picked up when you've filled a/several container/s.
