So true, these videos are more than just watching a video about cooking or about any subject you're being invited in someone's home you it's like being inside your home it's like you're sitting down with friends and visiting and getting to know them and their families and how they live it's like making new friends.

I get sad that all the people I loved, and learned from, are gone, but we’ll be together someday. Even before I started my genealogy journey, I knew names of 3-4 generations back, and have photos of parents, grandparents, and great grandparents. We were mainly farmers. Up here no one can answer the question of “Who’s your people?” My children did spend time down home, but as they got older, never enough time. My daughter named her daughter Nora Mae! I said, that sounds Southern, yes. Mom, I is. Even though they live in the Pacific Northwest, Reckon I will make sure they know who their people are. Thanks for listening y’all

Your videos sure bring back memories of my childhood. My parents moved the family to the midwest in 1970 shortly after my brother and I were born. But we would visit my grandparents in Eastern Tennessee every summer. I remember Granny (Mamaw as we called her ) spending the majority of her time in the kitchen. And Papaw sitting out on the front porch telling us all about scriptures in the bible. Fried Green Tomatoes was the one thing my Father always asked Mamaw to make when we visited. We never went hungry with Mamaw. Watching you takes me back to those times. So thank you for these videos. And one question: Have you ever made Steak and Gravy? I never see it so much anymore but I believe it was cube steak fried and then cooked in homemade gravy. I know my Mamaw as well as my Mother used to make it quite often. Keep making these videos and God Bless you and your Family.

Loved hearing Katie play the fiddle. Oh boy them fried green tomatoes looked delicious. Since our tomatoes took all summer to ripen and we ate lots of them fried this year, I got lazy and just dredged mine in corn meal to fry, but they were still dang good. Loved the part about how the flowers got started and that you will continue to pass that down to the twins.

Fried green tomatoes seem to be mainly a Southern tradition. Up north here in the Maryland Piedmont, both sides of my family fried tomatoes, but used bigger tomatoes that had just turned pink. Being half ripe, they would keep the shape of the slices when fried. Ripe tomatoes would turn to mush. We just used plain all purpose flour to dredge the tomato slices, no egg wash. The fried slices were piled high on an oval meat platter with each layer being sprinkled with a bit of sugar. Salt and pepper were added individually to taste on one's plate. I skipped the salt, but added more sugar to my serving. As this could only be done at the height of summer tomato season, fried tomatoes were often part of an all garden meal, except for a small dish of some king of meat. Mom-mom would dill pickle the small green tomatoes left at the end of season. They were quite delicious, too.

God's beautiful canvas of colors and the beautiful sounds of the mountains are forever beholden to me. Have a blessed and peaceful evening 🙏🤗💕

I may be commenting a lot, but I have to say that I enjoyed watching that old beetle bug prowl around. It made me think of some of my Mom's stories. She said she would play with those big beetles when she was a child and make them "fight" sometimes. Now she was terrified of worms or snakes, but she would pick up almost any "bug", no matter how big or strange it looked. She'd study it for a minute and then figure out how to pick it up without any harm to herself or the bug ( or insect). She was a "wild woman" in that regard.💕 Good memories!

I'm so glad you talked about the tradition of sharing flowers. 🙂I live in a different state than my original home place, but I often look outside at a pretty unidentified bush that lives near my kitchen window, blooming tiny white flowers in the spring, and remember our dear family friend from many years ago. We refer to it as "the Russell bush" . It's very prolific and sends out lots of shoots each year. He gave it to my mom, who gave some to me when I moved away. He's passed on now, but just the sight of that bush is a happy reminder of a different era in my life and it helps keep the memories alive in my mind. It's great to get new plants and flowers, but it's most satisfying when they carry a story and are something of a memorial to a life that lives on in the minds of the people who knew and loved them.

Never thought I had a link to Applachia, but I loved visiting the NC mountains before I moved to TX. I know a lot of the speaking terms you define for us - my mother and my father's kin used them when I was a child, so there's definitely a link. I remember eating a lot like you do, too, especially when we had family reunions. I live in Dallas Tx, now and long for the slower pace of life I knew growing up (and thought was boring at the time!). It's still very warm in Dallas (87 right now at 5:56 pm) and we really don't have a fall season, so thanks for the beautiful photos and videos of fall in Appalachia!

I love fried green tomatoes! Wish I had some still growing just for fried green ones. Your video of the surrounding land was so beautiful! I remember when I was first married and moving into our first home - with no nothing growing around it. The mother of one of my husbands friends was showing me her yard and asked if I wanted some starts. She had to explain what that was and after some instructions she gathered a whole bunch of different things for us. They grew so well and I soon had a landscaped yard which provided me with starts to bring up to our 10 acres when we moved to the country. Still have some today after 58 years and am still amazed that it works that way. I read in the bible that God told Isreal to take a tip cutting of the cedars in lebanon and plant it to have forests where they were exiled. I never heard of tip cutting a cedar and thought I would try. It worked then and should still now. Next spring I will try it.

@connieumar2076 Жыл бұрын

Mary, I've never heard of taking a starter from a cedar! Cedars are one of my favorite trees & I would love to have one in my yard. Could you tell me how to do it ( where to take the cutting from, how to get the roots started prior to planting , or if I need to do that at all) ? I would appreciate it greatly if you could .

@iartistdotme Жыл бұрын

@@connieumar2076 I've never done it with cedar and when I read it in the Bible decided to try - next spring. I have often made cutting/starts with woody plants like rosemary - very successfully so I know it is possible but it sure intrigued me when cedar tips were mentioned.It specifically said top tips so I will try with the cedars we have growing like weeds here in Florida. When I do start woody cuttings, I cut about 4-5" of tips that are newly green and stem strong but not yet toughened up, strip the leaves off the bottom and dip the bottom into a root hormone powder, stick it in damp soil, then set it outside under my shrubs to keep the sun from cooking it and I make sure it stays slightly moist. Normally a cut 5-10 tips in the spring and put all in one pot of potting mix and typically get several to grow. You need to experiment with several tip cuttings for best luck. If you have to bring it inside, I would keep it covered loosely with a glass jar raised slightly so it isn't too humid or even just a piece of plastic wrap VERY loosely laying over top. Good luck! I've successfully done hibiscus, orange tree, moringa, elderberry, roses, rosemary, I can't remember all of them. Don't know how many already know this but in the spring at Easter time, when you look up and the tall pines, the growing tips on the top form a cross. Once you see the trees full of crosses you'll never forget.

@@iartistdotme Mary , Thank You So Much for helping me. I have sprouted Rosemary from starts , but never a tree . I had not heard about Easter & the Pines . It is a lovely story & I will remember it @ Easter so that I can see it !! There are no Cedars left in my part of Oklahoma - not the tall, proud , ones anyway. I will speak to a nursery here to see if I can order one . If not , I'll make a 3 hour drive & hike through the mountains there to see if I can find a young one. If I can , I'll go back in the Spring to get some cuttings to bring home with me...Easter would be the ideal time to go so that I can look up into the pines that I know grow there and see the crosses.

I just wanted to say I absolutely love your channel. ❤ Proud of my southern roots and I always love celebrating that and home, Appalachia. Me and mine all come from down in Kentucky but most of us have moved just over the border of Ohio to be with family. These videos make me feel like I’m officially there at home. Although we still keep our traditions and our roots run deep, like nothing has changed, you always miss home and your videos give me happiness and overwhelming joy, I just wanted to thank you and your family! Lots of love to yun’s! ❤🙏🏻

We love fried green tomatoes here in Texas. We do love turning the heat up on them thou in our household. I use Tony's spicy fish fry to coat. We'd get all excited when we get a batch to cook up. Since we are in SE Texas on the border of Louisiana we creole it up with crawfish etufee smothered on the fried tomatoes. My parents taught us the country ways of cooking, but being raised where we are, we have learned to turn the heat up on some dishes. I'll share a few things we do. Cornbread with jalapenos Cabbage with smoked sausage, bells and onions and Tony Chacheres Cajun Seasoning. Tony's spicy fish fry for fish Jalapeno huss puppies Seeing y'all on the porch stringing beans makes me wanna be there with y'all on a cool morning or evening and hear all the good stories. 😊 Lov'in your videos. Been sharing with my momma and daddy. They lik'in them also.

Loved your video. The creek flowing, the fiddle music, breaking beans on the porch, cooking in an iron skillet. I will forever love the memories of my time in southeastern KY.

Oh my. That shot at 3:10...I could take a screen shot for my computer. The way the sun and mist showed among those gorgeous leaves. What a beautiful gift from God, eh? We're dropping into the 40s and high 30s here in Central PA and our leaves our turning as well. I'm off work this weekend and will be getting the baseboard heaters cleaned (cat hair will find its way into them) and ready for when we turn the heat on and I'm pulling out the heavy winter blankets as well. I love the idea of readying the house and my life for fall and winter.

Your comments about passing down the ageratums reminded me that I have to go to my cousin's house one of these days and get a start of the peonies my great-grandma Greiner had at her house, and then passed them on to my great aunt Orina who passed them down to my cousin :). I've always loved the fact that the Deer Hunter is not shy about singing the praises of your efforts in the kitchen! He's a keeper !
