I just got back last night from historic Williamsburg, where I bought an entire outfit for your wedding from Tarpley Thompson & company! Betsy Ross...eat your heart out! My purse is $829.00 lighter! Love to you both!! ❤💝

[@frontierpatriot]

Oh wow! Can't wait to see it!

[@kerridillon3120]

@@frontierpatriot- Tarpley, Thompson & Company were 95% cleaned out because of the George & Martha Washington Ball held in Williamsburg 2 weeks prior. There were literally only 2 gowns left...period!! Luckily one of them fit me, although it's a size too big. But I'm having it slightly taken in. I bought a double ruffle cap from Samson to go with the dress. You both look absolutely fabulous on the front cover!! So very obviously in love!

I am a 5-8 teacher at a small, Christian school in rural Wisconsin. The K-1 teacher had her littles and her 7th grade son pick a ton of dandelions. Then she and her son made jelly in honor of grandma, who had passed that winter. When my student brought me some of this special dandelion jelly, I was very hesitant, expecting it to taste like grass. Instead, it tasted like sunshine! I love dandelion jelly!

[@kathyschauer2114]

My Grandfather used to eat the dandelion greens every spring. Then he’d make dandelion wine

[@bibyfamily]

My family has made dandelion jelly for generations. I even wrote a childrens book about it. Planning to write another one soon 😊

[@BradKandyCroftFamily]

My Mom grew up dirt poor during the 50's and 60's. She would eat dandelion salads a lot. They were free and very healthy for you. I have started to learn the art of herbs and dandelions are high on the list of health food. I will be trying to make some dandelion jelly. Thanks for the recipe.

[@marykopydlowski4654]

My house wasnt ready when I got married. We lived about 2 months in an apartment. So I had to go to work right away.This time for you both is very precious! Dont be in a hurry to have house down barn done and move in before your wedding. Relax, you two are awesome! So happy for you guys! Being broke after your wedding is normal. But people will pin money on your gown.if your lucky my mother in law said. Yep!!!!! They do even in envelopes

[@nicolecrouch3745]

In northern Maine (Acadian/Quebec descendants, mostly), we eat cooked dandelions in the spring, along with fiddleheads, which I prefer. I am anxious to see this video. :)

[@colorvision7]

One thing I learned over the years is to not push myself so hard and that trying to make a situation fit into my vision. In other words, it would be ok if your house wasn't done before your wedding. You have a charming place to live in now. A few more weeks or so would be just fine. Then you could relax a little. ❤ I know you will have a beautiful wedding day!

[@rutherose23]

[@jennifershipp2599]

Dandelions are the first food for bees in the spring. Ron's a fan! Montana doesn't have Dandelions yet. So glad you are recovering, Justine. I'm worried about you guys getting too stressed. Your house will be wonderful and your wedding will be beautiful.

Sugar mixes with plaque (bacteria), which creates an acid that decays your enamel and bone around your teeth. I was a dental health educator for a health unit.

[@Krista_Rose7]

And what really is bacteria but microscopic worms? They weren't so far off "back in the day"! 😆

[@kimteatro2055]

The bacteria lives in the mouth not inside the tooth

[@AllenMZim]

I don't think it can get any more simple than some freshly baked bread and homemade jelly. We all have those days where something like that is all we need to satisfy our appetites and make us happy. 😊 I'm looking forward to catching this and the EA video later today! I'm officially done with jury duty, so I'll be able to talk with y'all during the premiere for the first time in two weeks! I'm SO EXCITED for that! 😃 I hope everybody's had a most wonderful week so far! Cheers! ♥️✨

[@ABCwcSS]

I gave dandelion leaves and flowers to my Iguana. He loved it and I didn't have to go out and buy or capture bugs. Later I found out he was very healthy when I showed him around a bit. Dandelions are also a survival food and being well recognizable on its characteristics for surety on non-toxic for a quick supply.

[@johndayan7126]

We grew up eating dandelions, a European herb plant brought to the U.S. by European immigrants. Every part of the plant is edible, but the real prize is the root which is amazingly medicinal. 🌻

[@sandracollins7938]

Love fresh baked bread with honey butter-------YUM!!

[@heidipustelniak652]

Fresh goat milk makes cheese that is not “goaty” at all. It tastes much like commercial cream cheese from cows milk.As the cheese ages it gets “goaty” . I used to make goat cheese every week. After a week in the fridge it would begin to taste “goaty”

[@joanwood9480]

When my oldest was small he would call dandelions "lion flowers". Lion flower is a much better name. Offer someone lion flower jelly and they wouldn't think twice about trying it

[@ridingtheroad185]

Grandma called it poor mans honey. She also fried up the flowers like Morel mushrooms and they taste pretty much the same! Then of course there is the greens to cook and eat also.

[@bonniegarber9915]

I fry up Queen Ann's Lace and Day Lily flowers, too. Withe the Queen Ann'sLace, I always make sure it has the little purple heart in the center, if no purple... it's probably wild carrots which is poisonous 😮. Enjoy!! 😊

[@ThinWhiteAxe]

The yellow dress is indeed very springy and sunshiney!

[@barbaragroves]

I had 4 surgeries in 2022 and each time the nurses were stunned about how easily I able to get up and walk right after. I just wanted to go home, I think that was my main motivation. 🤣I'm not a huge fan of honey but I would try it the dandelion with the lemon and honey.

[@nancystickler2107]

I cry post anesthesia. Every time. My grandson had all four wisdom teeth extracted at once with no anesthesia. Unfortunately he has Lupus and the surgeon felt it was a safer option. He did amazingly well! Happy to hear that’s behind you Justine. I can’t wait for the dandelions to bloom so I can make the jelly. Saving enough for the bees of course!

[@magtye40]

[@susanhayirli8474]

[@paulbuscher7182]

I love fresh baked bread and jelly. Your tooth story reminded me of my fairly recent dental visit, where they had to pull a front tooth, and it broke in half, and they had to use special clamps. You have a near total eclipse coming through on April 8th, in Ste. Genevieve. It be at maximum at around 2pm.

[@susanb9109]

That jelly looks great! Justine, your dress is beautiful along weigh your hair style! You look stunning!

[@norwalkspectator5275]

Last year, I gathered dandelion flowers and made them into a tincture. Then I froze it because I didn't have time to make the jelly, but a friend who lived in another town did. Plus, she was an experienced jelly maker. She made it with pectin because it was going to be sold at a Farmer's market. Wow!!! I thought it was really honey. We just moved to a new state, so right now there are at least six but probably 8 cups of dandelion flowers in the freezer. I will get to them later.

[@TeresaAnneCesarini]

As a kid my job in spring was to pick all thereunder greens of the dandelion,great big huge bowls of it and in our Italian household we either sautéed it with garlic olive oil and salt and pepper,when wilted we'd put a splash of vinegar on it ,or eat it raw,very finely cut,with onion,tomato,and vinaigrette dressing

There’s a lot of pectin in a lot of fruits, like apples, persimmons, so they might add some fruit for the pectin instead of just boiling it down and making a candy basically.

[@backtonature1150]

I make dandelion jelly every year with my kids. 🥰 It's the best! A true sign that spring is here, Dandelion greens and ramps are great add ins to salad too! Ah wisdom teeth! 😆 One doesn't sound too bad to deal with, I got all 4 of mine done at once .. I asked them what the wheel chair was for and couldn't believe they said for me I told them I didn't need it but once I stood up I about fell on my face 🤣 I said NVM I think I'll just sit down, I was a bit more loopy.. I remember the dentist asking how I fealt and apparently "I feel goooood" was a silly answer. 😅 He just responded with "hell of a rush isn't it?" I was so confused. 🤦🏽‍♀️🤣

[@irenesoutar1254]

It is spring but we’re in the middle of a big snow fall, everything is white here. It’s going to be awhile before I see any dandelions. Love your dress, it’s very pretty. Great video, as always.

[@bethgriffith7155]

I grew up on that. My grandma used to make it all summer.

[@raeperry1972ify]

I worked in the dental field for 18 years and Ron you were spot on about what teeth were made of. They also used horse teeth. As far as cavities, they are made by bad bacteria in a person's mouth and the bacteria feeds off of the sugars in the food we eat and then creates an acid that eats away at your enamel. Acid and teeth don't go well together. We used to tell our patients to not brush your teeth immediately after drinking soda or drinks high in acid because there is a chemical reaction that really is bad for your teeth. Wait an hour OR eat cheese or dairy. Calcium neutralizes the acid. I started on a more natural path and I make my own toothpaste using calcium carbonate. Calcium Carbonate helps to remineralize enamel. Also if you happen to have active decay in your teeth you can pass that bacteria off to babies through saliva. Like when a mother licks a baby's pacifier after the baby drops it, she passes bacteria off to her baby both good and bad. Glad you are doing good Justine. I can't wait to make this jelly. Thank you for sharing.

[@janhollis8979]

[@KarenDean2024]

When I make my own jam, - blueberry, blackberry, strawberry, … I only cook down the berries and add fresh squeezed lemon juice (just a little) and cook the end parts of the lemon ( they say that is where the concentration of pectin is?). Every time my jam comes out amazing! I do not add sugar. I am going to try making dandelion jam this spring! Glad you’re feeling better Justine! My daughter had 3 wisdom teeth taken out - not at the same time though. Didn’t want to go under, so she was awake. I couldn’t do that - oh no no no….. Take care you two!!!

[@phoebzhunley3908]

Yall are a part of our early mornings. Our littles are collecting dandelions this morning

[@zyxwut321]

Part of dandelion's perception problem comes from the fact that it grows in disturbed ground, often in suburban and urban areas, and is heavily associated with pollution. It's literally thought of as weeds from dirty areas. It's the stuff that grows in the cracks of sidewalks or in abandoned vacant lots in depressed cities. Of course, it can also grow in cleaner, rural wilderness areas and that's where you would try to find edible, forageable dandelions but those scenes of urban weeds are the reason for its bad wrap. It's like the plant version of a catfish that bottom feeds on a river, it depends on the condition of the river.

[@nrgltwrkr2225]

I make dandelion-flower vinegar and use it in salad dressings, sprinkle chicken or fish, drizzle on soups. To make the vinegar: Rinse the dandelion heads, strain, then you can either pluck the petals or leave them on the heads if you like slightly bitter and more nutrition. Put them into a mason jar, cover with vinegar of your choice ( I use Raw Apple Cider Vinegar), then cover either with a plastic cover or use a piece of parchment or waxed paper in between the metal ring and the glass jar if using a metal ring, so the vinegar doesn't react with the metal. Leave in a cool, dark place for a month, then strain and you have a lovely vinegar! Also great mixed with water and honey for Switchel!

[@tinglelingaling6]

I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth out at the same time. I was 21. My Mom for some reason went and got a choco shake for me to drink when I was finished. I couldn't feel my face and the shake went all over my clothes lol. I was hating life for about 2 weeks after that. That is when they found out I was allergic to tylenol with codeine.

[@coyotech55]

Where I live, in the high desert in SE Arizona, wells are also extremely expensive and the water table keeps going down here, so that we also have to go down about 500 feet, and often more. No creek or streams in my area, but lots of people collect rain water and have enough to be comfortable with. Others haul water or have it delivered. That's what I do until I get my rain water collection system set up ... which also means finishing building the house to I have more roof area. Some people build rain roofs, which are kind of like pole barns. You get the advantage of the roof for water collection and the shelter underneath.

[@WeepingWillow422]

Lololol I remember when I had my wisdom teeth removed. They put the gas mask on my face and told me to count to ten. I don't even remember counting to two. That's how fast it worked! A few years ago I also had an upper endoscopy. That time, they did the IV anesthesia like you had. I remember them telling me, "Okay, it was nice chatting with you. We'll see you after the procedure." Don't remember a thing after that. Woke up as they were wheeling me into recovery, asking me what kind of juice I wanted and I don't even remember all of the options they gave me. And then I proceeded to spill the juice all over my face because I was still groggy and completely missed my mouth.

Oh my goodness Ron! Brings back memories of when I was a child and I had a loose tooth. This was in the '60s and '70s. My dad used pliers also! We made sure we never again told him we had a loose tooth after he yanked the first one out that was loose.😩. So happy that you lost 3 pounds Justine. Great job. I'm hoping that you find someone reliable to dig your well and that your water comes out crystal clear. We moved to our house in the country and the person who lived here before had the well dug. It's 622 ft deep artesian and we have tannin in the water. They also had a holding tank with a reverse osmosis system put in it. It cost the previous owner over $36,000 to have all that done. The well alone cost $36,000 to dig. It's not hooked up to the osmosis system because the pump is broke. So we bathe and wash with tannin water and get our drinking water from a spring down the road. 😁 I hope the best for you both. You are wonderful people. 😁

Justine, my daughter had her wisdom teeth out on 2/29. It took 3 pokes to get the IV set. The last thing she remembers surgeon saying, "I'm going to give you this first medicine to relax you." 😆

My husband and I just watched this tonight. I am half Italian 🇮🇹 and my Dad and his family when he was small would go into the woodsy areas in town where there were several dandelions growing.They would forage their dandelions and would collect them and bring down the road miles away where they walked and would bring back home to rinse and cook them to eat.People did that decades ago. Dandelions are good for you too. Get some rest while you’re working hard.☺️

I feel your pain around getting a well drilled. The reality is that a well driller really has no idea how long it's going to take to get a well drilled. Every well they drill is different - one could take 1 day and give plenty of water at only 125' deep, while a well on the next building lot might take 3 days to get adequate water flow at 450' deep. I waited for a well driller to come out for 3 months. When he finally did make it out, he drilled for 2 days to make it to 500' deep and to have NO water. That ended on a Friday. On the following Monday, I had to pick another spot on the lot for him to try again. After 2 days of drilling, he hit 1.5 gallons per minute at 550' deep. The first well cost me $8,000 to drill and not find water. The 2nd attempt cost me an additional $8,000. Then, to get more water so that I could run a house and water farm animals and gardens, I paid another guy $5,000 to do hydraulic fracking on the well. Then, I paid him another $4,000 to have a well pump, pipe, wire and a pressure tank installed. The good news is that after paying $25,000 the well now makes 15 gallons per minute. Fingers crossed that your well drilling experience is more successful and WAY less expensive than mine was! Take care and God Bless.
