First, THANK YOU FOR YOUR VIDEO! This is the practical truth I was looking for 😅 Please , is it possible you can help me? my starter is very active however, it is not grow enough to give me a cup for some reason I have traveled with it added a lot of flour to it for the plane travel. Added water to it upon arrival added water to it and a little bit more flower equal parts It started bubbling, but did not grow very much for even a cup. Should I add more flour and water the night before my bake? Thank you so much for your help.. sincerely Michelle

Yum, looks delicious, I will be trying this, my swedish husband makes similar but the ham & bread crumbs are a new addition for us. I love the rue better than the mac & cheese they make with all the cheddar cheese. For me this looks great. My mom's father was German, his parents came to America when the children were young. Big family. Thanks for sharing I have a small kitchen and the utensil hanger is great idea.

This is how people still live in most Europeans countries! No dryers ever for monetary but also environmental reasons. When it rains we dry the clothes inside, in the basement if you have one or in an ikea wire rack for clothes, in the summer outside. Even apartment buildings have the drying clothing set up. Looks very third world country but it is definitely still a thing!

Clueless. Borax are baking soda are not substitutes. Borax is a stronger base (well over 100 times) and is used as an old fashioned water softener. Baking soda is just partially neutralized washing soda.

Thanks Anja! Do you get a sense that people in California think it's an eyesore or really old fashioned to hang clothes on the line? I think there's some home associations that forbid outside clotheslines. I love my towels rough too. So invigorating! 😄 I use only cold water for washing but then it's harder for powdered detergent/soap to dissolve so then I buy the cheapest liquid detergent in the grocery store and use 2 Tbsp for a load. I never seem to have a problem getting things clean. I think hanging clothes on the line is a wonderful privilege. If I have the place and time to stand outside and enjoy the weather and the birdsong while taking care of my family, then I'm doing alright in life. 🥰

Using soap is okay, but over time it turned your clothes dingy and you need a laundry detergent to get your clothes truly clean. There's a great video about the differences. I have a clothesline that I use in the summer and fall. Too much spring pollen makes us miserable. I have solar panels on my roof to help offset the price of electricity. Here in Connecticut we have the highest price for electricity in the country. We got sold a bill of goods by the head of Enron in the late 90's who convinced our state legislators that we should deregulate our electricity supply because it would "save" us money. Well it didn't and we're stuck with it. It's a failed experiment and we're stuck with the results.

We lived in Miami, FL and had an outside washer too. Unfortunately I now live in the cold Midwest so no more outside washer. I have a portable washer now and it works perfectly. Love this channel. My grandparents were from Germany but did not ever speak of it. They wanted to assimilate completely as Americans. I wish they had shared their culture with their children and us grandchildren.
@KitchenFairy613 күн бұрын
@@desertcandle1You grandparents probably didn't want to subject themselves to the intense hatred of Germans after the two world wars that Germany started. Americans hated Germans after that, so for your family it was safer to assimilate than stick out. I was lucky enough to get to spend many of years of my childhood growing us in various areas in n Germany so I experienced culture shock when we moved back to the states. My boyfriend's father had an intense reaction to me being German because as a child, he'd suffered from Germany invading Poland. At that point it had been only 30 years since the end of WW2. I'm sure you have many German foods and recipes that your grandmother made, especially for advent and Christmas.

Do you have a recipe for the glaze for the strawberry cake? My grandson wanted me to make this for his birthday. An old German lady used to make it for him. The recipe my grandson found had a lot of ingredients that I would never use. Fake whipped cream, and a glaze from a box with horrible ingredients. I don't cook like that. I am hoping to surprise him with this cake. Thank you.
