Meg…as I am a Southern girl born in Thibodaux, LA…a gumbo is whatever your heart desires it to be! And for those who do not understand…”bless their hearts!”

I love searching for Buggy in each video clip. It’s like looking for where’s Waldo. She walks in on the scene, takes a bite of some thing, and moves on. She’s delightful!

@Steve-od6hi 7 ай бұрын

And in the opening scenes there she was, the little miss, in a dress with her hair done up. Sadly, growing up to be a young lady.

@@Steve-od6hi , Oh, those of us who have raised a little sweetie pie know how fast the years go. We want to freeze that little Buggy in time so as to enjoy every minute of her. It’s like that song.🎶 Turn around and they are tiny, turn around, and they are grown. Turn around and they’re young moms with babes of their own.🎶 . Aren’t we blessed to be able to watch her grow?🌹🥰

Meg, my family is from South Mississippi and Louisiana. My mom made gumbo with surf and turf. The generations that came before us used a lot of seafood because it was cheap for them. The surf and turf gumbo just keeps the tradition alive. Feeding as many as possible as cheaply as possible. And heck. Let’s be honest. All gumbo is good.

Wow, Meg is cooking up a storm! Cool to see you giving the pigs hay. I'm glad you are having warmer temperatures. It's great that you're set-up ahead of time. I like the Redmond Real Salt banner on the gable end of the barn above the door. Thank you to the viewer that gave Ben the hackberry table top! So you can clean it with salt and apple cider vinegar. That sounds great. Wow, biscuits, rolls, bread! Yum, gumbo for dinner. Surf and turf gumbo! Yum, pork shoulder and spiced chicken meals. That's great that the neighbor will be filming the class. Great job guys! Thanks for this video Hollar family!

In Days gone bye they used to sell sand soap blocks, to scrub kitchen tables, they were about ten inches long and five inches wide and about five inches high, tapered toward the top so they were easier to hold, it was a daily ritual to scrub the table daily, as the table was used for everything from butchering to eating, and lots of other stuff. I remember as a child watching my grand mum scrubbing the table.

@xianvox22 7 ай бұрын

I found that using salted shrimp (comes in a jar, used in Asian cooking) makes a fantastic substitute for shrimp in a gumbo for when you don't have any fresh. Brings the flavor to the party. You just gotta reduce the salt in the recipe to compensate. I found that out the hard way, but the trick to removing salt from a soup or stew is raw potatoes. Cut into quarters or eighths, drop in, cook till soft. They soak up the excess salt, and as a bonus, bulk up a meal. Our gumbo is based around andouille sausages, okra, green lentils and shrimp or salted shrimp. The green lentils brings more fiber, nutrients and protein to the party, and are super meaty and tasty.

It is so amazing to see how hard Meg works to make sure everyone is fed not just on a daily bases but on a busy day of butchering at the farm. When you were down putting hay in pins for the pigs, seeing the sun shining down on the green house and your home was just so beautiful. To think how thick those woods were before you put the pigs in the woods is truly amazing. Great video Ben shows great quality as always.
