Smelting Date for Jim & Tori - Smelt Fry & Final Clean up of Sugaring Operation!

It's a short one this week but Jim and I got to go smelting! We got a pretty good haul and ended up cleaning smelt for the better portion of the day and then enjoyed a fish fry with friends around the fire!

THOSE SMELT are awesome to eat we ate SMELT until they were coming out of our ears we told Mom & Dad when we were children !!!

[@raymondcava4669]

Minnows😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 no smelts😂😂😂😂😂 Great content Tori. I love your perspective on making videos. You guys are an awesome family.

[@AOKUrbanHomestead1]

That is an awesome date! You truly are one of a kind to think thats a date.

[@Runningoncoffee05]

That knife looks great, I'm going to have to check it out! My husband is from Michigan and said they would catch garbage bags full of smelt, so this was really nostalgic for him. (We live in Oklahoma now, so no smelt *wah wah*) ❤

[@supattaruttanon9454]

Thanks Tori ,you are so sweet and kind. Teaching Huddy to do things as he so a little and he very interesting to be involved. Your family so lucky to have time together. We are appreciated all your hard work to making videos to sharing and it is not that easy . Thanks xxx

[@tigersbaseball1989]

Loving the content Tori! Appreciate all your hard work putting these videos out!

[@halinawiecek2297]

Tori you have a awesome helper to cooking with, Hotson like do anything, love your videos.

[@bonnieconley1057]

Long ago I sure enjoyed going smelting. When we got to the location there were a LOT of people there doing the same and a LOT of smelt! Glad that you got to enjoy this date night! Maybe you could do this date night regularly as it is a great thing to do for yourselves! The children are both such fun and seeing them learn and enjoy things is wonderful. Huddy truly does love learning to do things himself and he seems so calm doing it! A great video and thanks for sharing your family with us!

[@SpaceduckDK]

I love to see kids learn about food, and where it comes from. It is never to early to learn cooking. You and Jim are the best.

[@CindyGerend]

Wesley gets mobile 🤗 his smile says it all. Huddy, what a hoot. Thanks for sharing, til next time….

[@marybryan7191]

We have a granddaughter, 6 months younger than Hudson. She has a wonderful receptive vocabulary but she barely talks. She rarely gets to interact with other children her age. Instead of turning on the toddler channels she usually watches, I turned on your channel so she could watch and listen to Huddy. She was attentive! She really liked cleaning the smelt! Aside from that, my husband and I watch you and Jim regularly, often commenting that many young couples would benefit from watching how spouses and parents work together! Great teamwork, Tori and Jim!

[@gracegene4253]

Thank you Tori, that awesome video.

[@theresamariegoesplaces9688]

Those boys are just adorable!

[@janasunnarborg8525]

Love watching you show Hudson how to cook and flip pancakes - great stuff! Fully approve the smelting date night too.

[@Barret-paddles]

Huddy loving smelts!! No surprise there ;-) Must feel good to get outdoor chores done as well Tori!!

[@starbright47]

Hiya Both, that was fun at home with you, everybody busy. Glad u had a date night & then hung with friends. Voice over was fine, I don't care as stuff happens❣️

[@KimmieHamlin]

Smelt are DELICIOUS!

[@leezardo9324]

Nice save from the knife, Tori!!!

[@vickyf164]

Hey Tori 👋 Just love the way you and Jim are raising your boys ❤ Hudson is so funny, polite and caring (I am sure he has his moments though lol). He is such a joy! Seeing Wes in the stroller being able to do his own thing is awesome! Keep building that strength Wes ❤ Tori you blow me away each week with your strength (inner and external) and patience 😊 Have a blessed week guys 🙏

[@ek8137]

Takes me back to the 70's dip netting with my Dad at Lakeview park in Oshawa. I recall they bigger sized back then maybe cause it was great lake. Yes all the eggs grossed us out. Well done Baird family!

[@ji-gaabiikwedianecampeau5288]

I love how you include Hudson in helping out, love how his face lights up. He is such cutie.

[@barbmcnaughton6119]

Great video Tori! Love your choice of music. Hudson again stealing the show!

[@marshared]

This makes me miss my kids being little 😢. Super enjoyable video!❤

[@crystallarson2650]

Fun date! Love the kids helping!!

[@msvg3]

Fun video! Love the upper porch, too. ✌️🥇🏡

[@davesalvisburg9569]

A great video. Just loved it.

[@xannon796]

What's it like looking at mini Jim Baird everyday?? And he talks a lot, just like his dad he he. You have an adorable family Tory.

[@jujube6650]

Great video! I love smelt! You have the most adorable boys!!!

[@susanrogers917]

Awesome I love smelting

[@Judy-fi7ce]

Every couple with kids needs a date night out. Nice catch of smelt. I live in Wisconsin, and smelt are a big thing here. I've fried them up and they're delicious. Time consuming gutting them, but worth it. Huddy makes pancakes and helps clean the smelt. Loved the owl shirt. Wes having fun in his walker. Everybody can enjoy the warmer weather. Nice video guys!

[@mikedelorit5500]

Loved doing that in Wisconsin growing up. It's not what it used to be. We used to cut the heads off then gut and spoon them out. Lol. Then we soaked them in water rolled them in seasoned flour and fried. Man i miss a good smelt fry. Those boys are something else. Lol

[@suemoore1965]

We use to go smelt dipping when I was a kid We got full nets each time. Many gallons. LIKED the video and Hudson's pancakes

[@kristingrounds4163]

I think your videos are great!!!

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

We want more videos!!

[@susanrogers917]

Awesome 😂

[@barbarathompson5247]

That’s a long job cleaning those tiny smelts. We fish them through the ice in the the winter in New Brunswick, they’re much bigger - 6-8 inches long but still a chore.

[@KAStodgell]

Nice to have a date night. I might pick something different to do.

[@adrianlois6284]

Hello, how are you, I'll tell you in my country (Argentina) we call those fish Cornalitos 🐟 and we cook them fried with flour Hum delicious!🤤 Greetings to all ❤️👋

[@brentwall6959]

Love it 🇨🇦🇨🇦👊

[@Booyahh77]

Now that's a fun date night! I love how Huddy isn't afraid to get messy with the smelt!

[@SeriousPoems]

First, Jim caught Tori s cold.

[@Malibu_Dawn]

Fish heads, fish heads, nutty nutty fish heads... fish heads fish heads, eat 'em up yum! Better in the garden though!

[@magickmike6510]

I think most of us speak Huddinese by now lol. Great video.

[@esmekapea4298]

Always enjoyable content but we need longer videos 😢 hehe

[@archaicwisdom69]

Does the speed sew come with the piece of material as well?

[@dyannejohnson6184]

Where are the smelts running?

[@DimensionalHorse]

Have to say don't like when you tubers play music while they're talking..usually can't hear the person.😊💜 great video otherwise 👍

[@Mer42eva]

I personally love natural sounds with no music. Music such a distraction

[@ToriGoesOutside]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@soniadowney7427]

​@@Mer42eva have to agree except when Jim sings

[@gr8outdoors]

I remember going smelt dipping during my youth and the smelt ran so plentiful you could barely lift the net out of the water. Wow, the last time I went smelt dipping it was like 18 years ago and we could only fill a 5 gallon bucket 3 inches from the top.
