Autumn Cooking From Our Walled Chateau Garden + We Finished A HUGE Project

[@c4exclusive]

The cats are the real owners of the chateau. ❤🧡💛

[@MarianneInmarsilia]

More like rent free tenants ! They know a good thing when they see it. They lucked out with this lovely family ❤

[@dot1shots61]

Another great video. Donkeys, cats and dogs. Garden living. Love the flowers. Being able to cook outside, you did a good job with that. Looked delicious!!

[@marshawargo7238]

Pick, prep, cook and eat 😊!!! Delicious 😋!!!

[@kknichols8067]

Never long enough! I could watch you guys all day :)

[@OurFrenchChateau]

😊

[@EmilyBoltz]

I second that! 👍❤

[@kkay2270]

I’m sure I’m not the only one that wishes you would share the actual recipe details for the chicken stock and the split pea soup. Pretty please?! I love your channel. You and Lincoln work so hard, but don’t lose your sense of humor about things.

[@sharshar1011]

Yes, even your Roasted Chicken recipe !!

[@dianayavetz6286]

The older I get the less I enjoy cooking BUT I love watching other people cook. Thank you!

[@davidmata5080]

Spectacular drone shots to start! The produce from your garden looks fantastic! I especially liked the impromptu cooking class. I bet the soup was great! Here's hoping your kids are better after that great looking soup. Donkeys inspecting the progress of their path! Thanks for a great video!

[@deborahhaynes8361]

I loved the outdoor cooking segment. I hope everyone feels better soon.

[@Nicole-Marie-y7j]

The edits, and sense of humor draw me every time!! I absolutely love this family, fur and skin alike.

[@robweberdesign]

Love the 1 bean, 17 person dinner!🏆 What a productive afternoon cooking & gardening within your walled garden! Happy Autumn to you!🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂

[@OurFrenchChateau]

Thank you! You too!

[@marshawargo7238]

Single Bean Supper ❤!!!

[@katarina-x5f]

As an avid subscriber knowing you are a proper chef I've been eager for you to feature a cooking segment. My imaginary smell-a-vision enjoyed the open fire soup's allure! Your garden's yield is admirable knowing how divided your work time has been.

[@marshawargo7238]

Amanda said it seems that it might be too hard to film a cooking video, but I think that would be the easy part, since she knows what she's doing! The hard part would be the Editing, knowing what to keep in & how to not be too long/boring! I'm thinking that they have enough cats, dogs & donkeys, that it couldn't possibly be boring but maybe too long for some people😂❤!!! (Not me)

[@EmilyBoltz]

Just when I think the chateau and grounds couldn’t be more stunning in comes fall🍁- stunning

[@davidlogan8152]

Always a joy to watch.

[@maggieedberg574]

Thanks again for a lovely video…..

[@charlottetrujillo2207]

Enjoyed your cooking segment today. Love split pea soup!

[@denyseleonard240]

I’ve never made split pea soup as I didn’t like our traditional french Canadian pea soup as a child, it looked very brown. But my aunt used to make a “potage St-Germain” with green peas that I remember as being slightly sweet and absolutely delicious 🤤. I see that your peas are green, so I wonder if yours is something like that? I kinda remember it being more of a purée though. I’ve never had Potage St-Germain again since she passed away. I should really look up a recipe. Fall time is absolutely soup time for me.

[@suewhipp6228]

Plant your yin yang again, sometimes it just the season, they usually prolific bearers!!

[@LindaDavis-hi2un]

Great way to start my day by watching your channel.Thank you for sharing! Have a blessed week.😊 I loved the cooking segment!

[@KACn5582]

The beans remind me of my "Great potato harvest of 2023" It was about 15 teeny tiny potatoes. Bite size down to bean size. Enough for 1 person if they weren't too hungry. 😂

[@OurFrenchChateau]

🤣

[@jdrew5367]

Love the cooking segment. It’s so lovely that you did it outside over a fire. So sorry to hear your daughters caught the lovely sickness. 🤒 I agree with you 100% with making your own vegetable stock or chicken stock. Right now I started making chicken stock for my daughter’s 17-year-old super grumpy arthritis Kitty. If you do not like the type of fruit that is in your garden, the tree needs to be changed. Thank you so much for the time and effort you put into all your videos. It’s greatly appreciated Lincoln and Amanda. ❤ Gorgeous drone views, as always.

[@karmaficionado1163]

I think last video I commented about the pink blooms growing up the side of the Chateau. LOL sorry, just noticed it was actually red leaves. They are still gorgeous, whatever it is LOL. Hope Lincoln is better from having that cold. Happy Saturday!

[@OurFrenchChateau]

😃

[@marshawargo7238]

It might be Virginia Creeper? What Stephanie has on the wall by the back verandah❤! Beautiful climbing vine that does little to no damage on what it climbs😮!

[@karmaficionado1163]

@@marshawargo7238 Yes! That's exactly what it is. I remember she said that in a previous video. It is not as destructive as some vines can be on structures. It is gorgeous, indeed!

[@andyroo9381]

The pine trees in your estate are beautiful. There is a pine tree at 0:28 that is just perfect! Lincoln, and the dog, are walking just in front of it. I'm wondering if you put any Christmas decorations on this tree or plan to once you are completely settled. It is such a beautiful tree! I don't know the name of the species. Thanks for this episode. I live in the city and it's nice to just see nature and hear nature.

[@28080601]

Wow! Lots of chestnuts! We haven't had a very good year, not even 40% of last year's harvest. At the supermarkets, they go as high as 9-10 euros per kilo! My mother-in-law would cook tens of kilos of chestnuts, we would all join and peel them and then put them through a potato masher. We freezed them and made cakes and deserts all winter. I'm from the Istrian peninsula, north Adriatic in Croatia.

[@marshawargo7238]

What is the difference between chestnut, horse chestnut & buckeye? They all look alike & I live in Ohio, the buckeye state, where I've been told, don't eat them they're poisonous😢! But they do look the same before opening the shell!

[@28080601]

@@marshawargo7238 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castanea_sativa

[@SusieMonk-jh8tj]

So pleased the cats allowed you to cook soup for your children. What stars! So selfless. Well done Lincoln one tree down one to go. The words he really wasn’t hoping to hear to his question Do you want to get the roots out? Yes. Oh **** 🤣🤣🤣🤣👏👏❤

[@marshawargo7238]

Someone else in the comments suggested grafting a different, more desirable pear to the established existing root system, idk if that's doable but worth checking into, if the roots aren't damaging the wall!

[@cdm952]

Re cutting down fruit trees: you might consider grafting a more productive varietal onto the plum tree you don't like, so you can make use of the established root system of the existing tree.

[@kkay2270]

Great idea!

[@marshawargo7238]

I didn't know you could do that! I was wondering if the root system is damaging the wall? I've also never heard of esplanade until watching these Chateau channels. Also the white trunks & pruning back the top!

[@catherinetaylor164]

Thank you so much for making these videos. The scenery along with your wonderful sense of humor, just makes my day! Be well ❤

[@daynight4902]

Best wishes to you

[@Jana-wz7dr]

OMG Amanda. You kill me. Invite 17 people, one bean each….miserable dark pouring morning in Western Canada, you gave me a laugh that I needed. Cheers

[@meri8746]

“And they are not using their trail.” 😂😂 Now I want to make Split Pea Soup! 😄

[@essietangle9931]

I love the onion colors combo. Hope the girls get well soon.

[@nancyvanhoose5595]

Your videos are so beautiful lately. And the music is amazing. Thanks for sharing your culinary skills and brilliant angles of photography. Loved this episode ❤❤❤

[@anne4083]

Loved the drone shots as the gardens look amazing with the autumn colours!! Soup looked delicious!! Can we hope for more cooking segments! 😊

[@kbtubist]

Your drone shots give us the scope of your work - every day brings “something” .😊

[@srigging]

😂CATS own the Château...love that comment! But you also have donkeys & doggies who participate in your overall loving care ❤ Everyone wants to live there!

[@waltercook4868]

I didn't know you were a great open fire cook! There is something magical about cooking like that.

[@lowesonia8551]

Loved each second as always a voyage back to living my families life in the 60's fo 30 years.

[@soniahofmann4969]

In spite of your reluctance I love your cooking segment it's obvious you're a pro thank you for sharing😊

[@LifeattheCornerCastle]

How fun to cook outside over an open flame! ❤

[@carolcarol6425]

😂 never heard of a ying yang bean 😅 not surprised with supply based on the output 😂😂

[@elcie1999]

I laughed my sides out at the 17 beans comment 😂😂😂 better luck next time 🙏

[@sheilahartnagle6114]

Ur soup looks so good, Love making split pea soup ❤

[@gdbreon8300]

Really nice views of the surrounding area AND of your furbabies. They LOVE their life with you. Thanks for sharing!

[@delamaiwald327]

I like the idea of cooking your meal while you are in the veggie garden... Very productive

[@marciadynes7628]

Love the cooking and outside love to watch simple recipes that this 70 year widow would make for myself and maybe my siblings the soup look so yummy ! Great on a fall day thank you for Sharing! Another great video ! Have a great weekend ! From southern Ontario getting warmer to plus 23 by Monday no rain last weekend to finish yard work !

[@janeblandford852]

That is a great idea you had for the donkey path, it should cut down on all of that mud. They should be happy with that!! Now they just have to use it..... Always enjoy your videos....love the drone shots and of course all of the animals. 💗

[@lisakilmer2667]

Good for you! Culling an unwanted tree is good management. We removed a greengage plum due to poor yields and because it drew every japanese beetle for miles. (I'm not typing well due to shoulder surgery - I do know how to capitalize.)

[@joyfulthings1]

I’m not usually a fan of split pea soup but i have to say the photo shot of the bowl of soup and chunk of bread had me salivating! Side note, i love any food cooked outside as it reminds me of frying pickerel on the river bank when we were kids.

[@LeslieJanson-o5n]

so glad you are including your cooking talents on your great show!

[@DinSF]

I always have to chuckle with the subtlety of the narration 🙃 The drone shots are gorgeous. Of course, being a native Californian, I always blink to double-check I'm seeing correctly when I see such green grass. We could sure use some green grass and rain here as we are currently experiencing Santa Ana or also called Diablo winds. The winds aren't too bad at present, but the humidity was as low as 9%, definitely not what the Bay Area is used to, but definitely an accident waiting to happen for a fire to start and did in the Oakland Hills. So far, it's 50% contained. It was 33 years ago yesterday (1991) when the Oakland Hills had the big fire. The weather has cooled here a bit also. I also got ingredients for soup, and need to make broth with all the chicken bones I've been saving. Of course, I'm also checking on all the things that need to get done outside before the Atmospheric River Rains come....... and people say there's no climate change? I don't remember rains like that growing up. Always something to do.🔨🪛🔧🪚🧹🧯🪠🔩🗒🔦

[@marshawargo7238]

I also remember the dog days of summer, where August was the hottest month! And there are nowhere near as many lightning bugs or butterflies as when I was little! Probably it's my age but it seems that summers have gotten a lot shorter and less hot, as well as winters have less snow! I'm in Ohio, right on the lake...

[@elizabethmcdonald4318]

The aerial view really drives home the massive scale of that path. Well done! Had to laugh when I saw the donks not using it.

[@AlyenasKitchen]

The soup looked AMAZING and I loved seeing you cook it in the garden! I noticed you used a good quality salt and loved that you harvested the veggies. 😊🍁🍂

[@nativetexson]

I could smell the soup cooking here in the south of France. Yum. 😋

[@rosemariedeschenes7013]

Love making my own vegetable and chicken stock as well. Really impressed you did it outside. Love the cats, dogs and donkeys appearance 😻😻😻😻😻Great drone shots and filming as per usual. Such beautiful scenery 😍😍😍😍😍Thanks for all the effort in sharing it with us 😍😘

[@3_3645]

The flowers are beautiful and yummy for split pea soup.

[@lynnees9828]

Oh, are those long stem flowers the cosmos? I planted a bag of wild flowers, which very little arose out of the dirt, until lately and it is bunches of those. My plantar box is an old sink. lol Hey, with rocks surrounding it I see art. Caught a bee sucking and bathing on one large white flower among the varieties of pink, its last supper perhaps? Made me sad but in awe of nature. Love your chef cutting skills! The soup looked heavenly.

[@normamurray4450]

Ah ha...I hear you on the waiting for things to cook...I have no patience to wait, but I love cooking...go figure! I'm sure your soup was delicious! As always, loved the video!!!

It's chicken leek potato soup for me...really sort of a stew.

[@Leanne-p6y]

I love your videos! Your home is beautiful and I just want to say when you share the scenery, in your videos, it's uncanny how similar your land, trees etc...is to where I call home in middle Tennessee. (Which Google says America and Europe were once part of the same continent.) Thank you for sharing these snippets or your life, I am a fan!

Are there some plans for you guys going to go solar/wind or other sustainable method? Finally, Amanda cooking! And the donks not using the trail. If I'd been drinking something it would have sprayed all over. :D

[@kathrynriggs2489]

I'm with you one the trees. If your not going to use it and you want the real estate for something you will.use, it's time for it to go. I wonder if it isn't a tree that self seeded. And yes - I want apples! But then, I'm a Michigan girl surrounded by apple, peach and cherry orchards.
