Hello Ron and Justine,
Im going to have the opportunity on Saturday to visit Ste Genevieve. Where should i go?
They don’t talk much. 😂
This looks yummy. Justine you look radiant.
I fall asleep by the fire while you bake
Ok, tell us more about that venison sausage, it looks amazing!
If you made that sausage yourself great otherwise can someone recommend where I can get venison sausage in Missouri mmmm
Beautiful mama…can't wait till baby arrives ❤. Your videos are so soothing.
I can’t wait to see the baby dressed in colonial clothing 🎉❤❤❤❤
I think the coffee ought to be made last so it's hot during the breakfast.
I JUST LOVE watching your videos, they are super calming and that is what I need. Puts me in a state of nostalgia. This cake I will try. 🍰🍰🍰
I've never tried currants. What do they taste like?
do they still make fry pans like that?
Is Baby due soon???❤
Justine, you are just so lovely and a joy to watch! Ron, you’re going to be a great dad. Prayers for a speedy and painless delivery 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Lest anyone get too carried away, please be aware that this is a "recreation of life 100+ years ago". Actually, life 150+ years ago. I hate to say it, but most people alive today do not have the skills or knowledge to survive in the same conditions. We as a species have lost these skills. My mother grew up during the great depression. They had no running water (drew water from a well and used an outhouse). The electricity was basically a light bulb that hung from the ceiling. They were dirt poor cotton farmers. My mother got one pair of shoes per year. Things were so poor that they got a paper bag with fruit and nuts and hard candy in it for Christmas. Dolly Parton sang about this in her song "Hard Candy Christmas". The reason I am bringing this up is because it is real, and maybe people need to take it under consideration. Personally, if I need to, I know how to grow potatoes. And I know how to make a meal out of a potato. Do you?
Everything looks delicious! Being a coffee snob with good beans, a grinder and an espresso machine, i thoroughly enjoyed watching you roast and make it the old fashioned way.
Did your fried eggs yolks not break?? You threw those things around, poked them with the corner of the metal spatula and one even folded over on itself but in the end it looked like all of the yolks were in tact! It’s not fair you have it all…🤰🍳 lol
Soon we'll all be living like this from the cost of living.
I love this channel. You guys create the best content.
Nice nice ! Hope he helps with dishes!
Delicious. You have a new friend
What a wonderful way to start the day! The cake, eggs, venison sausage with a steaming cup of coffee … delicious and so beautifully made, even with your baby bump! ❤❤
I've been hearing that this is a fake couple, and the bald man is homosexual. Is there any truth to this?
That really is the breakfast of champions though.
There’s nothing more beautiful than pregnancy. My aunt who could never have children always says the conception of a child is the greatest miracle. It really is true. My aunt is 92 years old now. My uncle passed a few years ago
I think the cake squeezes are the best part ☺
FOR GOD SAKE YOUR MAN JUST SITS THERE AND WATCH YOU IT'S 2025 HE'S LAZY AND NEEDS TO GET A JOB. WAKE UP YOU ALL THIS IS NOT REALITY
9:56… Three months this cake can survive…wow.
8:40 thats salami not sausage.. In Europe at least
❤❤❤👌🙏
Just curious Justine….are you giving birth like they did in the 1800’s?
3 eggs? You are an arrogant person. Expensive breakfast
Great to see you making Venison sausage! We hunt and process normally 12 to 13 deer every hunting season. We butcher our own meat. We grind our own chop meat and make all of our own Venison sausage, hot sticks, and kabassie . All of the red meat in our house is Venison. Love your videos. Much love and happiness to both of you and the birth of your child !
"This cake will keep good for a quarter of a year" – 😲wow, how did they mean that?
Congratulations to you both hope all goes well on the birth of your bady ❤xx
Vaery.goodvideo🎉❤🎉goodworke far.you🎉good.my.farind🎉❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😢
I bet that coffee tastes out of this world.
Edit: Also, as a woman who is about as far along as you are, I felt those small portions. Can't eat large portions no matter how yummy the food is. XD
she does all the work while he sits on his arse. seems to be accurate
This baby is going to think its being raised in the 1800s lol i love it 😂
OMG Justine! you guys are preggers!!! As a vegan I haven't been here for a while. Well congratulations! All the best!!!!
You’re blooming beautifully, my dear 🩵
My goal is to save up so that I can enjoy coffee out of a coffee pot and not a tea pot 🥲.
