🐟 Reviewing Breakfast as It Was in 1828 (Fish Balls) | The Dr. Said WHAT?! | LIVE CHAT

[@sheriwalderman385]

Get rid of that Dentist! It's sad, but I have been fooled so many times. 10,000.00 later I've learned to get a third opinion. Greed has infiltrated the dental field.

[@EarlyAmerican]

Yes that was the first and the last time at that office..

[@brightpurpleviking]

That’s for sure. I’ve known more people hoodwinked into radical diagnoses like tooth loss and implants, and the third opinion said it was a simple cavity! Nobody can read X-rays so we are at their mercy

[@Catherinetingley]

Glad to see you guys are back and I’m glad you are feeling much better!

[@marywalton3998]

Yes, I worked in the dental field for 30 years and I have to agree that greed has infiltrated the dental field and L-lysine works great for canker sores because we prescribed that in the dental office where I worked

[@mskat1954]

Totally agree!! Wish I had gotten 3rd & 4th opinions but where I moved, I went to the dentist on the most billboards lol. 10K for me & about to lose teeth I have left. Found out a medical issue for tooth & bone loss later. Hindsight as they say.

[@lavoixdevelours]

That rooster was really asserting dominance. lol

Down in the south, we eat salmon patties or mackerel patties for breakfast.

[@sweetcakes77_7]

Thank you for bringing those up , my mom would fry em up every Sunday morning, man they are lip smackin good!

[@davidcox3076]

I had forgotten about that. Never liked salmon. But Mom would whip them up with crushed crackers. She loved them.

[@oakmaiden2133]

We had the tuna version

[@herbwitch5681]

I’m familiar with salmon or mackerel croquettes, but we always have them for dinner, not breakfast.

[@galeeverton5615]

I love salmon patties for breakfast with my grits. I always have leftover patties from my dinner so I just eat them cold the next morning 😊

[@cherylswinkunas2613]

I have taken L-Lysine (it's pronounced el-lie zeen)for over 20 years. They are the ONLY thing that has stopped my canker sores! Bless you sweetheart, I'm glad you're on the mend🧡

[@84cubangirly]

May I ask wich brand do you use and how do you take it ,I mean the dosis? Thanks.

[@cherylswinkunas2613]

@@84cubangirly I use the NOW brand, I believe Justine has the same brand in the video. It's the one I like best. I take one tablet twice a day on an empty stomach. I take one in the morning about a half an hour to an hour before breakfast and the second one about an hour or two after lunch. I have found the longer and more consistently I use it, the better it works. I haven't had a canker sore in well over a decade. I hope it works for you as well.

[@cherylswinkunas2613]

I've had that mouth swisher too. When I had my stroke, the hospital staff gave me too many steroids and I developed THRUSH in my mouth and throat. I too couldn't eat anything unless it was extremely thin. This went on for 5 months!!! Had to have a tube put down my throat and stretch my throat enough so I could swallow. I completely understand your pain...literally.

[@jillakison3638]

Justine, so good to see you. We have been so worried about you. Did you get that tooth taken out? Ron, that expression tells all about the fish. Blessings to you both. 🙏 ❤❤

OOOHHHHH….I AGREE with Ron…..Fishy is awful…..I “like” fish only when it DOESN’T taste fishy……Can you imagine w/on refrigeration the odor…….eeeeewwwhhhhhhh! We can choose now what we eat--the people had to have what was in season and on hand….we are so lucky🍀

[@Daniel-nr6iw]

Flounder or cod might be better options for someone who isn't fond of a fishy taste. I admire this man for at least trying them out of respect for the effort made to prepare them. I'm glad everyone is feeling healthy again.

[@mlpencola]

Any genuinely fresh fish should not smell or taste "fishy". If there is an odor or taste if "fish" - do NOT eat. And definitely agree that Flounder & Cod are both very mild fish.

[@lucretciaseven4873]

Justine, please don't fight going for help so much because had you gotten your flu diagnosed soon enough they could have prescribed you something like Tamiflu and bless your sweet heart you might not have had to suffer so greatly. Ron, you may not have gotten the flu, but the worry must have been great because you look very tired and a bit worn down, please take care so that you don't get sick too. My prayers are for you both to get back to the sunny happy and healthy couple you have always seemed to be very soon.

[@mrsta1267]

Except that Tamiflu has serious side effects and takes at most one day off the flu duration. Elderberry on the other hand can bring the flu down to 24-48 hours with zero sode effects when prepared properly and taken without additives.

[@mariat3276]

I’m so glad to see you’re better! Good to see you both. I like fish for breakfast (bagels and lox) or lunch and dinner.

Take care of yourselves! We love y’all.

[@mrs.g.9816]

I didn't know you were sick, Justine! What you went through was terrible! So I'm thanking God you are on the mend. Keep taking all the medicines that will keep your immune system healthy - and by all means, get plenty of sleep and "down time". I know you and Ron are on a deadline, so I'll keep you both in my prayers. My grandma had framed, colored fashion plates from the 1840's in her front hallway. I just loved the gowns and men's wear from that time.

I'm so glad to see you looking so well, Justine. I was thinking of you. Sending you infinite love, light, and healing energy 💜🙏🥰

[@Ameslan1]

At first, I thought Justine said she got "Kroger" fish (supermarket) fish LOL but i see it is "Croaker" fish LOL .. One way to make fish less fishy in smell and taste is to soak the fish in milk for a few minutes. I learned that technique from watching Japanese chefs on tv. Maybe Ron would try a fish recipe that had fish that was previously soaked in milk before cooking though it would not be early 1800s cooking.. Is that Rooster the same mean Rooster that attacked Justine in the hen house? OH my gosh Justine what an ordeal with that crazy dentist!

[@mikesherman4565]

It was so great to see you guys happy that you are felling better

[@suzannemccoy9610]

Justine, so glad you are feeling better. My son, many years ago, caught hand, foot and mouth from daycare (it’s highly contagious). Unfortunately, my husband also caught hand foot and mouth from my son. They both had multiple mouth sores. My husband also had sores in the back of his throat. A mouthwash was prescribed. Equal parts of Maalox or Mylanta and Benadryl Elixir and then use as a mouthwash. I’m glad you found something that works for you. Take care and be well. An infected tooth is no joke.

[@DanaONeillStuder]

Something like that hit me about 25 years ago after a dental cleaning. My sister came to take care of me and I was given antibiotics and Mary's Magic Potion. A couple days later, my sister talked to her daughter-in-law. She had the same thing and had been to the same dentist a few days after me. The dentist was obviously not cleaning the tools properly! Be very careful about dental infections. The infection can go straight into one's bloodstream and into the inside of one's heart valves and become endocarditis. My sweet mama had it once. The stress on your immune system awakened that herpes virus. It's similar to how one breaks out in shingles. That virus, also a type of herpes, is in our system if we have had chickenpox. So glad you are feeling better, Justine. You look great. Take care.

[@debbutante9591]

She doesn't have herpes. It was canker sores

[@violetvasquez-lavender8997]

Yay!! Justine is back!!! So glad to see and hear you and very glad to hear that you are on the mend! I’m happy you saw several different people to get an answer and proper treatment. I would definitely not go back to that dentist.

I am so excited for watching your dry kitchen come together! here in Maine, my former inlaws have a house with a dry kitchen and it was super close to the barn - in the breezeway between the two, there was a little hatch that all the kitchen scraps went down into as it dropped to a small area below the barn that was enclosed with the adjacent meadow where the animals free-ranged and thats where the chickens and pigs would scratch to get all the best of out leftovers, so coool!

As a Puerto Rican, we use salted cod to make fritters and eat em fresh from the frier. We also use the same cod to make a cod salad with olive oil, potatoes, vinegar, onions, and hard boiled eggs over rice. I'd try this receipt with salted cod per having salted fish and potatoes before. :)

What an experience, Justine! One canker sore in the mouth can be painful, but several?! I agree, that is no way to lose weight.

Another way they exported fashion was by fashion babies; they were like a doll wearing scaled down versions of women's clothing. Newspapers would put ads in their pages announcing the arrival of a fashion baby to a particular lady's home, and women would go to the lady's house to examine the fashion baby so they could go home and make a full-sized version of the clothes. However, until paper clothing patterns came out, it was hit or miss whether a woman could successfully duplicate the dress to her size.

I couldn’t afford to get them out for a while. Those sore are so painful. Mine were even in the back of my mouth so it even hurt to swallow. The pharmacy has to make a special mouth wash for me too. When you pulled out that mouth wash I thought “Oh my goodness I did that too!” I have since gotten those wisdom teeth out and no problems since with those sores! I pray you continue to get better and get that tooth out soon!

Salmon and tuna are some favorites around our house, but tilapia is great too in a red wine sauce. Oof, infected tooth and canker sores. I bet your prolonged fevers caused it. I've heard you can get canker sores either from eating too spicy food, or from stress, or from prolonged fevers.
