Get well soon , Gary. I had the same injury, torn meniscus, back in 2010. Had surgery and some physical therapy afterwards, no problem. Will pray for you to heal quickly!
I am working on one right now you might like. Gary will be smoking up some pork country ribs on Sunday for you. Thanks for stopping by and saying hello.
Get well soon. I like making my mom's chicken noodle soup in the winter, boiling a chicken for hours in water or chicken stock with a bay leaf, whole onion, couple carrots and whole celery stock to get that great bone broth. When the meat on the chicken is done, I pull the meat off and put the bones back in to boil some more. I boil my noodles and cook my veggies separately and then add them to the strained stock with the chopped meat so they all heat up together. For veggies i like to add chopped carrot, celery, fresh mushrooms, spinach, peas and for pasta i love to use seashells. Even my doc agrees the bone broth works at helping with colds. 😁 and I like the memories of my Mom.
I had the same thing Harford to me, Gary. Loud pop, horrible pain, and I saw stars. Wishing you a speedy recovery. I'm going to say your shopping haul was around $290. I just finished the video - boy was I off!
I just found your channel tonight. Sorry about the injury. Hopefully you’ll have a productive meeting with the surgeon. I look forward to going back and viewing some of your previous videos. Susan
Hope Gary heals up fast!!! Sending lots of prayers and healing vibes your way!! That soup joke was awesome😂😂😂 That soup also looks sooooo yummy!!! I'm definitely going to try the recipe because I always fail at making split pea soup lol but now I have a recipe to follow so I'm super excited to try it out!!❤
I also thought the cast iron pan underneath the aluminum stock pot was a great idea. They have an Induction single burner with pans you can use on them that cook faster. My most favorite soup is chicken with stock broth, sauté onion, celery, garlic in oil and butter, pour into soup, add baby carrots, then when done add a pkg of frozen spinach or fresh Kale with the large veins cut out. You can add small potatoes but I try to keep it low carb. Oh, and it would be great with your homemade sourdough bread! If I want it faster I use rotisserie chicken.
It was a lot of fun and will definitely do it again with my girlfriends. And the 4 cups of soup to give was perfect to feed the both of us. Let us know if you do one with your friends.
I just caught you two as you sold your house In WA and headed to Alaska. I live in Tri-Cuties WA I moved from Southern California. Your house on the Spokane River was breathtaking I love water views so I was very surprised you did not buy land on water in Alaska.
We looked and there just wasn't anything on the market that we wanted at that time. The other prerequisite was a mountain view and we got those. Thanks for stopping by and saying hi!
Feel better soon Gary . Wow food has gotten so high where ever we are these days it's crazy. How long you been settled in your new home in Alaska? Washington is a beautiful place my late husband has family in Spokane. Just growing so much. Thanks for sharing. I'm sure safe way was higher . 300 area
Hi Tanya. Thanks for watching. We got to officially move into the house August of 2022. It still not 100% done but pretty darn close. We are still waiting on our gutters and need to finish painting the exterior. The house build videos will start popping up by this weekend. And thanks for the well wishes for Gary. He’s doing somewhat better. Still hurts but he’s working thru it.
In Arizona, Fry’s (which is Kroger chain) is much more reasonable than Safeway on most items. I would think it would be close to the same there. Watch your Fred Meyer ads and their clearance items, because that’s where you can really save money.
Yeah we do usually go to Freddy's here if not Costco or our local grocery chain Three Bears but lately Freddy's has had stocking issues and that is why we headed to Safeway. For example a week before Christmas Fred Myers didn't have any fresh (or frozen for that matter) turkeys for Christmas meals and they said they weren't bringing any more in before the holiday... so off to Carrs (Safeway) we went. Just another Alaska Factor we have to deal with since all our groceries are shipped up each week from Washington State.
Yes when we first got the new channel established I posted a couple of current vlogs... and then decided to share our backstory and started the catching up the channel episodes. I can barely function with a daily release so we will go back to realtime episodes in 2024 as soon as we finish updating the channel. We should be back to regular weekly vlogs in March. Thanks for watching and be sure to checkout our Catching Up the Vlog playlist if you haven't already. 😘
Growing up my mother always put dumplings into the pea soup in the last 10 minutes of cooking. Please let me know if you’d like the recipe to try. Gary rest up and feel better. I hope you will take the full recovery time to heal well. Take care and have a good evening.
Ohhh that sounds good. I might have to pass on that tidbit to my Mom... she loves making dumplings. Yes please send the recipe. Thanks again Dee... your the best!
I’ve got the chickens. Goats would be fun. And maybe a mini cow but I don’t think Gary would be down with that. It took me 2 years to get chickens. LOL I don’t want to push it.
It sickens you that we have nice things? Well bless your heart! Thats awfully judgmental of you and just outright rude. You don't know us or what we have sacrificed to have a nice home or nice things. But thanks for watching... I won't let your trolling bother me because your the one who looks ugly in this situation. Have a great day and hope you feel better since your so sickened by us.
Sorry people are so awfully rude. Sounds like a bit of jealousy to me. I happened upon your channel and I really enjoyed your content . Don’t worry about the haters. They are always waiting in the wings!
@@Cajunbebe Oh this just means we are doing something right. Been 8 years on TH-cam and well the haters are apart of the game. I don’t know why people think that people can’t have nice things. I’ve had my fair share of eating egg sandwiches for a week until the payday. Opening our private lives up for the public to consume isn’t always easy but I’ve learned to just let it go and throw a little snarkiness right back at them. Karma will do the rest. Thanks for supporting us! Have a great evening.
I am jealous of what you have. From start to finish looked hard and I know it was. And I am happy that you have the support with you. But being alone changes everything. That word sickening was meant for me when I had no help and working hard like you guys.
@@celiastich4529 I took your comment a completely different way. I’m sorry for my snarkiness. I am use to trolls and I took your comment wrong. Yes agree without a support system and the proper equipment Alaska can be hard… very hard. There is no way I could do Alaska without Gary! Hands down no questions asked. I also feel our support system of friends to show us how to “Alaska” has helped us tremendously to thrive. Thanks for explaining your original comment and again I apologize. Welcome to the channel.
The cast fry pan what an amazing idea never heard of this, It’s excellent.
Get well soon , Gary. I had the same injury, torn meniscus, back in 2010. Had surgery and some physical therapy afterwards, no problem. Will pray for you to heal quickly!
Let us share your kitchen more often, love watching you both cook.
I am working on one right now you might like. Gary will be smoking up some pork country ribs on Sunday for you. Thanks for stopping by and saying hello.
Prayers, I'm getting ready for my 2nd total knee replacement. Pray for speedy recovery
Thank you Debbie. Prayers back at you for a easy recovery for you as well.
Just found your channel, Hi from Queensland, Australia. Hoping you recover quickly.

Gary has made several batches of poultry stock this winter. Its delicious. Thanks for sharing your story about your Mom.
It is very interesting following you

Sorry to hear that I hope your knee is on the mend. It's unfortunate and horrible timing but we are working together to make sure he recovers well.
I love videos of places l will never to get see. There are a lot of them 😀😀
We are happy we can take you along with us. Thanks for watching.

All awesome advice! Thanks for sharing.
I get smoked hammocks when I make black eyed peas. The smoking gives it an amazing flavor.
That sounds delicious. Anything smoked in a smoker is amazing! Thanks for watching!
The soup looks really good! Cream of potato is my favorite 🤩 in the winter . Take care and May your surgery be successful🌹
Good news is Gary is in PT to try and not do surgery. So cross your fingers and toes he can build back his strength and not need surgery.
I love the idea of a soup exchange.
It was a lot of fun and will definitely do it again with my girlfriends. And the 4 cups of soup to give was perfect to feed the both of us. Let us know if you do one with your friends.

Prayers for gary as for comfort food chili and cornbread or chicken soup with homemade bread
Ohhh cornbread and chili sounds amazing ... yummy!
❤❤ Get Better soon guy 😢

It’s in the video description for you. Your welcome.
Hey, this vlog is when the house is ready
I haven't come across that before

Yes when we first got the new channel established I posted a couple of current vlogs... and then decided to share our backstory and started the catching up the channel episodes.

As you are discovering there are only 2 seasons in Alaska...Winter and getting ready for Winter
😂 So true!!!
The ham&pea soup you made looks delicious 😋. I made chicken Gnocchi and spinach soup tonight ❤️
Oh that sounds delicious! We reheated a potato and ham soup from the soup exchange tonight for dinner.
Potato soup is my favorite. Gary, will do anything to get outta work! LOL Just kidding! Get well soon!
🤣 RIght! He's actually been pretty good about still helping out around the homestead but is also taking it easy.
Would you share recipe with us its looks delicious ❤
I shared the recipe in the video description. 🍲❤️ just click on that and it’s already there.
Soup looks great. Hope your knee gets better soon
He’s doing better. It’s been a little over 2 weeks now since injury and he has started PT.
My favorite soup is Wisconsin cheese soup!
Ohhh that sounds good. I may need to look up a recipe for that one.
Soup looked delicious!
Thank you 😋 We broke out some extra the other night for dinner and it was delicious.
Growing up my mother always put dumplings into the pea soup in the last 10 minutes of cooking. Please let me know if you’d like the recipe to try. Gary rest up and feel better. I hope you will take the full recovery time to heal well. Take care and have a good evening.

You are not doing the hardship of those that do not have fancy equipment. It sickens me to see this. We worked harder than you are capable of.
