❄️Reviewing an 1820s Winter Feast | House Build Stress | Justine's "Modeling Career" LIVE CHAT

[@EarlyAmerican]

I'm sorry everyone for the low energy. We're just wore out today but that comes and goes. We hope to be back at it again next week in full force.

[@stephaniewhitehead2881]

No worries! You have to recharge now and again. 🥰

[@MoosterMug]

Hello. I got my lovely Christmas card yesterday, so thank you both for that. I had started to wonder if the one I sent had never reached you, so this was a pleasant surprise. And I still have a poem for Justine waiting in the wings. I plan to include it with a letter in the not too distant future. :-)

[@phyllisprice8986]

You don't need to be sorry for that. You guys do as much as 10 people. Even though you are both young and strong you will get tired.

[@imadone]

I live 99 miles north of Cape Girardeau so yeah, it’s the cold. It saps your strength. And then every other thing is a huge chore to do. I don’t recommend taking a hot shower afterwards because that just makes your muscles feel rubbery.

[@CMcKinnon1013]

It's OK, we are blessed, for you. Thank you for everything ❤️

[@Mariecherement]

Antique auctions on rainy, snowy days when practically nobody shows up is the best and cheapest way to get the very finest antique and reproduction furniture silver and decorative accessories for your home! Make sure you go with a list a budget and go to the presale previews!

[@myraarquitt9123]

The two of you have so much in your life. It's ok to slow down, rest don't wear out. And I love mashed turnips with mashed potatoes. I eat the turnips my husband eats the greens.

[@user-by4pv4hc5s]

That cat is laid out and happy in Ron’s arms!! Loving life!!!

[@sharakate]

I love how chill today’s episode was. Sometimes, we need low energy days to make it through the week. :)

[@Myruraltale]

I really agree with you

[@tressaevans6813]

Oh look at Mishmish in Ron's arms. He loves his Papa. Love you both and always rooting for you, especially during this difficult, taxing time as you're building your future homestead. You're doing excellently❤

[@AllenMZim]

Please don't apologize or feel guilty for feeling "low energy", you guys! We all have those days! It's part of being human! I know I speak for everyone when I say that it's more important to us all that you're both feeling good and able to do what you have to in your personal lives than getting "high energy" content from you. If you two ever need time off to rest a bit or focus your attention on building the house, don't even hesitate and just do it. We'll all understand and we'll wait however long it takes. That's more important at the end of the day. 😊 Just as well, "low energy" or not, I'm looking forward to the video later today and to chatting with y'all during the premiere! Until then, I hope everybody has a most lovely day! Cheers! 😃

[@3b1d5c]

Your channels are so soothing and enjoyable. Thanks for all the work!

[@davidcreager1945]

Congratulations , Justine !!!! That's awesome 👍 don't stress about the house , I'm sure everything will come together ! Mish - mish was a hoot !! Have a wonderful weekend and stay safe and warm !!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@suritawynn6148]

Mish Mish stopped meowing once Ron started cuddling him. So cute!

[@jenniferschmidt8056]

No apologies necessary. You ‘guys’ have a lot going on right now. It was so good to see you here. The food looked fantastic! Thanks for being present even though you rather be cozied up on a sofa somewhere watching a movie or reading g a good book. Have a good week! Oh congrats on the Samson Historical modeling session!

[@hiho8084]

Mish Mish wants outside. That's why he's meowing so much. I have a cat like him. She starts all kinds of mischief if she can't go out when she wants. Mish Mish is so handsome. I love all cats but black cats are my favorite. Thank you for sharing your wonderful lives with us. The food, the conversation...delightful!

[@missmollygoodgolly6088]

Justine, when I’m tired out, I make a sandwich for dinner or open a can of soup. Look at you cooking two vegetables, some meat, and baking a pie from scratch! And all over an open fire!! You and Ron are doing really well for putting in so many hours of physical labor on your house and then going through the effort of creating your videos! That must take a whole lot of energy.

[@sandrarennie2585]

Oh guys you never have to apologize You’re plate is full Building a house Planning a wedding and probably working at your other jobs But looking forward to seeing you tonight 🙏🙏🙏❤️

[@jeffreyoldham55]

Very excited about your upcoming photographic session with Samson Historical, Justine. You are very photogenic, and the camera loves you. I believe that you were selected not only for being a good customer, but for how well you have decorated your cabin/set with such great care. You are a natural, and will make an excellent spokesperson for their brand.

[@bonniegarber9915]

Justine!! You are beautiful inside and out!! Don't ever think otherwise again!! God made you just the way you are!! And we all can see that Ron thinks you're beautiful!! So.... stop!! Very good chew and chat... you guys are so awesome!!

[@michellejohnson9202]

Justine! I'm excited for your magazine debut! Congratulations!!!! And Ron, you're just the cutest with MishMish!!!

[@karenscannell5713]

Hi ! Sounds delicious! Mish Mish is so sweet . Have a cat who meows a lot. I’m used to it. Np here!

[@Myruraltale]

👍

[@P.Fairweather]

It will be fun Justine. Many catalog models are petite also. And you are beautiful by the way! Very photogenic. (This grandmother says so)

[@cinnamoncider9167]

I agree! : )

[@sanguinelynx]

Hear! Hear!

[@jillianfriedrich7567]

I’ll keep you in my prayers that things go well for you and that the efforts you put in pay off greater than you ever thought 😊

[@rebeccaweaver5523]

Justine and Ron, don’t feel guilty for “low energy”! I’m sure building your home yourselves, keeping your KZbin channels going, and living life as a whole is extremely draining on your energy levels! Please don’t feel you have any need to apologize to us. Here’s a suggestion…. why don’t y’all set up your camera and let it run, filming the cabin with the chickens’ activity outside for a Wednesday program! We would love to relax, watching and listening to the beauty of your surroundings! We love you guys, care about you and want the best for you.❤

[@prestonturner610]

I second that, they've done it before called Cabin ASMR I believe?

[@KneppwoodatHome]

I third that! Lol

[@sanguinelynx]

MishMish has a cute meow, I didn't mind it at all in the background! Turnips are surprisingly good when cooked well, it took years before I ever tried one. Also, your energy was just fine! You guys have a lot on your plate, so thank you for taking us along this journey.

[@LindaStein-ze8bk]

Awe Justine...Congratulations on being invited to Samson. How special is that? You'll be fine don't down grade yourself. Proud of you.

[@jillianfriedrich7567]

Awww I can’t imagine the stress you’re feeling but I’m appreciative of your efforts and I’m going to be watching all the way through! :)

[@felicitysileas1051]

Oh, how fun that Mish Mish joined you for dinner and got cuddles. Yes, humid cold is no fun... However, I wish you both the best of luck with your build! And Justine, you are a beautiful woman! Don't let anyone tell you otherwise my dear! ❤

[@user-pq9zc3uc7m]

Great looking meal. Two pats on the back and an "atta boy" on the house. Justine, please don't down yourself so much. You're adorable. Have fun and good luck.

[@user-mr4hc8vo3y]

You two have a lot going on, please take care of yourselves

[@Mariecherement]

Another way to get really good historical reproduction, gorgeous period looking furniture is to shop online at North Carolina furniture outlets. Its about 50 percent to 80percent off retail. All of the furniture in the USA is made in North Carolina!

[@m.greathouse]

Thank you for indulging us with Mish Mish for the episode! The Swedish meatball meal at IKEA is awesome!

[@user-uv9ku3zm3l]

Mish Mish being held like a baby was just adorable.

[@hippychicktarot]

Seeing a new Frontier patriot video pop up is like finding gold in the creek bed…. I’m like OOOH!!!!!! Yesssss!!!

[@veesimmons2464]

Watching Ron love on Mish Mish is pure joy!

[@all4hisglory510]

Your home is coming along. It's lovely. Can't wait to see y'all married and in it together. Lots of excitement to come. We are rooting for y’all. ❤

[@rebeccaback3287]

Love the Chew and Chat! Like the meal! Ron and Justine all your hard work will pay off. Congratulations Justine on your modeling career.David Back.And Rebecca.

[@randycarey-walden8530]

Mashed turnips are delicious. Add butter and some grated onion. Drain the onion so it's also not watery. After you mash the turnips, add onion, butter, and seasonings and toss into a medium hot skillet to dry it out a bit.

[@vickismith9142]

Take care of yourselves we can wait for you! You all are special to us❤😊 always good to see a video or a message!

[@1SemperDad]

Have fun with the Samsons. Both Abby and Casey are awesome people. Their daughter, Payton is an absolute angel. Enjoy. I understand their brick and mortar store will open in March.

[@themoonisjustthebackofthesun]

What a beautiful, adorable and lovely cat 🩵 it's obvious the love you guys give him

[@JordynHavlik]

Will be prayin. Take a break if necessary. Greatly appreciate your kindness. God bless. 🇺🇸

[@debcard6225]

Hang in there! All the hard work will pay off in the end! Our 1850s log home reconstruction took 5 yrs - beginning to end... And now I lay here on my comfy couch watching you both - lol!! Love the Mish-man! 💕😼

[@albertawalters3731]

Love watching you both! This was just delightful! Justine you will be a beautiful model ❤️ God Bless😇

[@paulaharris4667]

I can’t wait to see your dresses!! Have fun❤️🇺🇸

[@user-ws5il5zz1n]

Just keep watching you all.. many times.. no I’m not cookoo.. I just love your special .. unique way of us being part of my life

[@mjones5131]

I've been watching you both since you had like 2 subscribers.I love you both so much! I wanted to pop in and say how proud I am of how far you've come and how much you've accomplished together. Although this is a stressful time, it's also such a joyful time! Congratulations!!! on your upcoming wedding,and the new house. I'm so looking forward to watching it all unfold! Best Wishes, Granny in Southern Indiana

[@mjones5131]

Ps. Ron, your photography is amazing! I was into photography in my younger days. Mostly nature.

[@frontierpatriot]

Thank you so much mjones! We appreciate that. 🙂

[@ladyk63200]

Great video! You guys are great. Love your baby in the video. His talking is not a problem. Doreen, you are beautiful. I can't wait to see your photos! Thank you both!🥰

[@CherylOstrowskiKass]

I will watch after work. We all have low energy sometimes. I am like that today. Plus, my panic anxiety is through the roof today. I am stressed out about life and other things. ❤ you both. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

[@patriciakoester1580]

I absolutely love Turnips with lots of butter & salt! ♥️♥️ Patricia

[@debbiecrouch709]

Everyone deserves a break you’ve a lot on your plates. We’ll be here when your regenerated!

[@Mariecherement]

Mish Mish just misses his parents because you two have been working so hard!

[@tonyaroche7733]

Yummy looking dinner. I love sausage and cabbage. I like mixing turnips, carrots and potatoes mashed together.

[@Myruraltale]

👍

[@josiemorgan5401]

You have nothing to apologize for my dear friends you have every right to relax and take your time it’s perfectly understandable take care friends and hi hi to mish mish ☺️🙏

[@hellinahandbasket2]

I could never get tired of Mish Mish. I have two black boy kitties and one of them is a talker, especially when he’s hungry. 🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛ I like to roast turnips in the fire. Tasty, and you don’t have to peel them first.

[@Alicia-pr7gr]

Yes! Grandmothers made mash turnips. I love them. Very good for you.

[@LisatheHousewife]

Yall are doing it the right way, hang in there in a year you will be so happy of all your hard work

[@user-ue1ol7su5j]

The bean in the cake, the costumes. . . sounds almost like our King Cakes with the hidden baby and who gets it will supply the next cake. The costumes sound like Mardi Gras in Louisiana - it's a wonderful celebration we enjoy every year. Miss Scoti

[@peggyperk1231]

I havent read all the comments but "catnip" for Mish mish. Plant some catmint at your new house too. It helps keep bugs and critters plus mish mish can munch on it and will be satisfied. Love your videos.

[@DrBillyCobra]

Love you guys. God bless and keep you. Wishing you the best on your new home and Justine's modeling gig. Watch your top knot.

[@Rainynight158]

Every time I see a video from you two it makes me so happy. Don’t be sorry for having low energy. It happens. Y’all take care of yourselves. God bless 🙏❤️

[@user-si4tj6zc5j]

We love both of your channels! Keep it up.

[@jukthewise8776]

Justine, congrats on the modeling gig! I will definitely check the catalog out when they post it online. If you guys are too tired, take a week off doing KZbin. I would miss you, but I'd be back the following week to watch. I think your viewers understand that people need a break now and then. Stay well and keep up the great work (when you aren't taking a break)!

[@stepheniemarlow7017]

I'm so excited that your coming to INDIANA! MY HOME STATE! You will be close to me! I live less the 30 miles from where you will be! Enjoy yourselves and Justine you will look great and will model with the best of them! Good luck and have fun! Drive safe!!❤

[@brendafarrar6612]

Cut Turnips, in about 2 inch chunks, cook with diced bacon in water, just enough water to cover turnips, cook until tender and until they have a light color of brown.

[@nancystickler2107]

IKEA is Scandinavian. Very simple, light stained wood with touches of blue, yellow and red. It comes across as very modern. My son, following our heritage, has decorated his home in a very simple, very IKEA, style.

[@user-rz2vh6ub7c]

It is so wonderful to see your dream house come true. The windows look great! Its completion and your wedding will soon be here ❤! Love seeing and hearing Mishmish ❤.

[@Attirbful]

In Hesse in Germany, apple wine is a state treasure. It is a sparkling, rather sour wine that is drunk as it is or mixed with a lemon soda to add some sweetness. It is quite good. My mother used to make a foamy cream sauce with it to accompany “Arme Ritter“ - slices of old bread roles that were soaked in milk and almond extract and then breaded and fried in a pan. DELICIOUS!

[@lisascott9670]

Turnips are the calming to the sausage

[@michaelgibney3772]

Turnips mashed with plenty of butter has been a staple in my house for nearly 75 years. We do like them a lot. We cut them into pieces before boiling them rather than leave them whole.

[@CMcKinnon1013]

Amen.😊

[@user-zp4if3qt3d]

I love the cat! You are so blessed to have a vocal cat!

[@leadbelly1495]

Carrot and turnip mashed with butter and white pepper is a classic

[@terryt.1643]

No worries. I’m going through low energy without any of the accomplishments but I’ve got a full day today. It is what it is. I with be with you in spirit. 🥰💕❤️👍👍

[@sassycat9871]

My mom would cook cubed potatoes and turnips and add butter after cooked. Salt and pepper. It was good

[@kathyusher-cy5in]

We harvest turnips when they are much smaller. We have mashed them.along with potatoes or better yet, roasted them with other root vegetables.

[@nancystickler2107]

Roasted is my favorite way to have them!

[@rekamarginean4594]

Mishmish is soooo comfortable in daddy's lap 💓💞 🤩 The serial meowing is adorable !! 😂 The food looks very appetizing! Nice job Justine! And congratulations on the Samson Historical invite! You will be a lovely model, and I can't wait to see the photos.

[@RevBTB]

as always a great video! as for Mish Mish - the cats happiness is paramount to mine, so please - let 'em out!

[@TraceyQuance-rl2fd]

Love mashed turnip!! A little milk and brown sugar . A staple for every holiday!!

[@michelezammillo7210]

I love Cracker Barrel too. We don’t have one in NY. So I go to Ct or Fl to visit family and stop in for lunch or breakfast.

[@lorettaschultz2273]

Your house looks amazing so far. Love the windows. It is going to be fabulous!!!

[@rutherose23]

Will you build a garage?

[@Myruraltale]

👍

[@jenniferarhart3932]

So excited for you both! I love to hear how things are coming together for your new home. Also, congratulations on your modeling gig 😁

[@sandracollins7938]

Sounds very exciting to do a fashion shoot. Hope you show some pics of the clothes you wore. Surprised at what Ron didn't like to eat. Try to get some rest from the house if you can.

[@seaschulainn]

I can't wait to see your house updates! ❤️

[@user-xn3xn8hq6f]

Justine!! You are beautiful! So photogenic!! I love your photos in period dress!!!! The meal looks delicious too!!

[@cherylriffle6871]

I love turnips. I eat them raw, cooked and mashed. Also I have added a few potatoes in with them when mashing. I gives them a better texture. I've been sick so I made me a big pot of veggie beef (deer) soup for supper today. It sure hit the spot on this dreary day.

[@chrisponti1173]

I'm so happy for you Justine and and Ron, and hope and know that that Samson Historical will treat you treated with Hoosier hospitality!

[@shelleysykes5317]

Turnips are great! Exciting news about the catalog!

[@sarafstop32]

Mashed turnips are an old childhood favorite. It's important to season well with salt and pepper. I vaguely remember my mother mashing the turnips, then draining more liquid before adding the butter.

[@chrissyfrancis8952]

Yep, it’s very hard right now, but keep telling yourself “just a few months, I can do this. Take it day by day!” Another thing that helps, is making lists every day & checking things off as you do it. That helps calm the chaos

[@MotherlyEssence]

I love how y'all prayed on camera. So beautiful. God bless you both!!! 🙏🏽 I wanna try mashed turnnips. 😩 lol Also praying for your strength to keep building your dream home. What a blessing to live off the grid!! The hard work will pay off!! 💪

[@billiejomcmillan7632]

I am low energy and tired all the time so I understand yours. Justine- you're beautiful! You're gonna be a great model. And Mish Mish sounded like he wanted out. ❤❤❤

[@aggieduke1]

Oh man, I love all that stuff. Looks great ! I'll bet Ron blows the covers off the bed tonight LOL

[@TheLadymoonstone]

I am so happy for you and I hope that your special day is just amazing. I am so impressed that you can still make videos with all that pressure on you. Finishing a house, preparing for a wedding and making content . AMAZING. GIVE YOURSELVES A PAT ON THE BACK PEOPLE. Mish Mish I love that you meow. Congrats on being a model. You are perfect. Cheers and much love from the pacific northwest. Canada side.

[@debharshaw1882]

😊

[@thebeadstop3862]

We love the orange turnips, up in the Northeast, we put nutmeg, butter an a bit of milk or cream! The meal looks so delicious!

[@user-by4pv4hc5s]

Now that dinner looks great and I can see you all definitely doing the shows in the winter time much cooler and comfy on you in the cabin!

[@glennda1939]

YIKES MASHED TURNIPS!! Stuff of childhood nightmares! Loved Turnip Greens! YUCK!

[@luannestahly2880]

I get the Samson catalog and can't wait to see you in it. Welcome to Indiana, my home state. I am excited to see your new house when it's all done. It will mean so much to you, knowing what it took to build it. Much love...

[@carolharner4472]

We always add a couple potatoes to mashed turnips. Makes a huge difference in the consistency!

[@karenscannell5713]

That’s wonderful! Justine ! Happy for you ! Should be fun ! Will we get to see the pics of you?

[@lindanorris1646]

Turnips and mashed potatoes mixed together are very good.

[@dianahurt4398]

I like mashed turnips. They taste like a cross between cauliflower & potatoes to me. And I had no idea what you were fixing, but as I’m watching this I’m eating sauerkraut with polish sausage and potatoes.😁 I love Mish Mish!❤

[@beverlybennett963]

I have a black cat just like MishMish, talk, talk, talk... She is a barn cat but at 16 has been this winter is making herself a housecat at night..She also loves to roll in the dirt and shavings.. I love turnips and rutabaga.. I am 74, when you own a home, it is never done.. But it is yours......
