On your fun fact: Here in Canada, I worked in a cemetery. We had a few plots dedicated to the poor. homeless, people with no family. They were all cremated, placed in boxes and stacked into one of those concrete coffin liners bins in the plot. So that if family does somehow show up, they can be dug up and the box taken out for them.
You two seriously need to find a way to get a series going on one of the streaming services. I literally just learned more here, watching your videos, than I would ever have from any doctor. You guys are one of the few channels where I actually learn something useful, even if it is 200 years old. I’m thrilled that Justine won’t be dying from lead poisoning anytime soon (😆😊); the world needs her lessons, and Ron’s comedy😁
Salt. I didn't see you add salt. How about some jam on them? Justine you look very quaint and sweet. Ron cracks me up. He says the cookies aren't good but. He keeps eating them.
Lime disease affects your nerves, I had a tick born illness, my legs felt like my veins were dry and cracking…nerve pain… hope you get thing sorted with your health Justine, you are in my prayers.
So does nutritional deficiencies... like B vitamins, especially B1 and lack of magnesium. If her gut is compromised it will not absorb nutrients properly.
@@mandabean.2405definitely but as someone with both Lyme disease ands gut issues they can be connected, gut issues have to have been caused by something and usually is multiple things over times. Antibiotics, mold, Lyme disease etc all contribute. My ANA test came back high but with functional medicine testing I found mold colonized in my gut (lived in a home with mold for a long time) that also messed up my gut too.
16:20 we hired people off off Facebook also, two to be exact, and just like your story with the painter, did a great job on day one. Then yup we get ghosted also, with all sorts of excuses. We now have stopped hiring off of Facebook, and doing it ourselves.
How about putting orange marmalade in between two of them and then covering them with chocolate! Cardamom goes well with citrus and what doesn't go well with chocolate!😀 They definitely had different tastes in spices in the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries. I've seen recipes including sugar, cinnamon, ginger and mace in omelettes!
Justine, so happy to hear you are continuing to rule out and explore your positive ANA testing. Both myself and my granddaughter have an autoimmune disease. Mine is RA and hers is Lupus. Everyone is so different that it really takes a trained specialist to figure out how to put you in remission( lower ANA) where your symptoms are alleviated. It’s also very common to have days or a string of days where you feel crappy and one day where you feel fine. So many of us can determine over time what things may trigger a flare, but sometimes you just don’t know. Like for me weather barometer rising and lowering significantly can affect how I feel or even trigger a migraine. Sugar can trigger swelling for me. For my granddaughter she is triggered by lots of stress. I hope you figure out what is going on so you and your doctor can find a good treatment to put you in remission. Good luck!!!
Did you get your A1C checked? Sugar can cause a lot of UTIs. Diabetics get a lot of them. The day before you don’t feel well, what did you eat? High carbs convert to sugar too.
Love your vids. Speaking as a child of the 60s I can tell you that lead paint actually tastes really sweet. I used to peel it off old, Victorian playground equipment in England, and eat it.
Sounds like he is a periodic drinker. I had to fire a worker that was ghosting me as well. Found out he was spending time at the local bar instead of on the job. Live and learn, it takes all kinds of people to make the world go round.
I hope you are able to get answers soon to your health issues , so that you can have a plan to help with your health issues. I continue to pray for you.🙏
You guys are hilarious together😂🤣 I love it! Thanks for being the guinea pig Justine ❤️❤️ Now I know I can still use all of my vintage cookware! The Mish-Mish pillow looks great in your room 😃
My wife and I just visited Fort Ligonier days to celebrate the battle of Ligonier. The French, Indian and British reenactment folks are unbelievable! There costumes are absolutely amazing! You guys should check it out next year.
Sounds more like a tea cake or tea biscuit. I know I used to use aluminum pots and pans many years ago and found out that wasn’t a good thing. So I got rid of all of those. But cast iron pots and pans are good for you to cook in. Iron leaches from the pots and is actually good for you.
Yep I’ve always like the “you can have it done fast, done cheap, or done well but you can only pick two” when it comes to work like that you really have to know what your expectations are realistically.
Hearing Justine talk about random good days and bad days and as someone with chronic illness I'm all yeeeeep. Sometimes it's like that. If you don't find anything autoimmune make sure they treat all your hormones, esp cortisol. That needs to be an 8am test. It's one of the ones that pointed the way for me.
Justine, one thing you may consider looking into is what’s called the Paleo Autoimmune Protocol. It’s a temporary elimination diet that we in our own house (autoimmune) saw amazingly wonderful health results from. Aka remission in 1 month with no signs of active inflammation and that has continued for 8 years so far. It may be a place to start, and if nothing else, something to try for a while to see what happens.
Another fun fact about Hart Island: Actor Bobby Driscoll was buried there. He was the voice of Peter Pan and filmed other movies for Disney. It was a really sad situation on how his mother found out he was there and a John Doe at the time.
So you may want to go with distlled water like Smart/water with electrolytes to pull heavy metals and follow up with vitamins. Some good probiotics and fermented foods to help your gut microbiome.
Love the weird facts! Never knew about the island off the NY coast. Yikes! The weather is about to change...maybe just let the painter go, ask all your local friends to come out and have a painting party. You could hire someone to do the finishing touches. It is frustrating for sure! Praying for your health, Justine. 💜
I don't know if there's anything worse in the culinary world than a bad cookie… But hey, not every recipe is gonna be a home run! 😋 Just as well, I'm looking forward to listening to you two later! Hopefully everyone is having a good week so far! Cheers! ✨
Guineas are awesome for tick control if you want to add that to your homestead flock 😊 for tick bites, or any other bug bites/stings for the matter, it's good to have a paste of bentonite clay on the ready (bentonite clay and water mixed together. Just make sure no metal comes in contact with the clay. Glass, plastic or wood is fine). Put some of that on the bite and let it dry out. It will pull out anything the bug may have left behind lol it works very well! I have a jar with the mixture in my medicine cabinet on the ready.
I am glad that you got a lead test because I was concerned about the cookware that you use being so old and all that maybe a lot of what was in the cookware the metals were leaching into your food but your doctor visit and her answer is an answer to my question thank you.
Hi justine, I wanted to let you know that I added your name to the prayer list Monday night. We're praying for your health and healing. Much love from Wyoming 🤠
You have way more patience than most! If that happened to me, I would hire someone else to come and finish the job and pay the first guy what I felt the work he had done was worth. Praying for your recovery!
Healing vibes and Prayers to your way Justine 🙏❤. @ 29:42 Ron when I saw the Striped Outfit you are making the very first thing came to my mind was ( *OH Ron is going to be Beetlejuice for Halloween!!*) 😆
Justine , would you make these again , but put your own spin on them ??? I would love to see you do a comparison between the original receipt and how you would do it .
I hope they find something soon Justine. I'm glad you were feeling well today. I'm so sorry about your painter. I know you guys are so ready to get into your house and winter is on the way. I wish you the best. Very interesting about Hart Island. That is so crazy. Sorry the cookies weren't good. The critters will love them. I hope Ron feels okay tonight. He ate quite a lot. Praying for you guys. Have a good week.
I had same symptoms and found out I had developed a cat allergy and nut allergy from keeping a diary. Could also be an allergy to something in building new house, like laminate flooring produces a gas when new, some wood is coated in arsenic. Or something like that example, as it comes and goes like an exposure. Keep a diary. Good luck, hope you get better.
I decide whether to dunk or not based on the type of cookie. I don't like crispy crunchy cookies so they either get dunked or broken and eaten with ice cream! How many did yinz give to the chickens?
Were Americans still using many British terms back in the 1790’s? I was thinking you were following a biscuit recipe bc that’s what the British term “cookie” refers to 🤷♀️ maybe?
I have a gingersnap recipe in the old farmers almanac colonial cookbook. Maids of honor are my favs, they are little cake and jelly tarts, not cookies. Very old recipe from Queen Elizabeth I but still popular in the 18th century.
Oh no! Well, I’m sure your cookie content will still be entertaining, so it’s not a total loss. I’m sure some critter will enjoy it ❤. Critter cookies 😊
Hello! After listening to Justin's symptoms over time, they are very similar to what both my boys have, Crohn's disease. My boys have been diagnosed at different ages, but both had mouth sores that would occur and never heal, fevers, and digestive issues. It's definitely worth looking into, and many times overlooked. Take care ❤
Love you guys and it is so good to see you looking better Justine. Now you know why the painter guy was so cheap. He must be doing other jobs that he is getting paid more for first. Great to hear the good result on the lead test. I had a young cousin who did get a lead problem that they caught fairly early. (This was maybe 60 yrs ago) They found he was chewing on the wall. Those cookies are the kind of thing you eat if you were starving and actually enjoy them.
I am one of the ones who suggested testing for Long Term Lyme Disease and I am very happy you’re getting the test. In addition to Long Term Lyme, which is treatable, I have Polymyalgia Rheumatica (autoimmune) with an underlying Rheumatoid Arthritis (autoimmune). None have a cure but All have treatments, and the Lyme must be treated first, and are very manageable for the most part with medication. I’m in the Tampa Bay Area of Florida (Tarpon Springs), and after two hurricanes in two weeks, I have not surprisingly flared. The good news is that (a) I pretty much knew the stress of a hurricane evacuation was going to make my body flare and (b) because over time I learned my personal triggers (stress is a big one, another is barometric weather changes) I could get on the meds asap to keep the flare as low as possible. Some days are horrible and some a great, I guess that’s the nature of autoimmune diseases. I wish you the best of luck finding answers, it is such a long road to narrow down an autoimmune disease and get the meds right, but I’m 60 and can tell you it is possible to live with one (or two in my case LOL).
When you do get ahold of that painter again, give him a firm talking to! Let him know you won't pay him until the job is complete and well-done - and done soon. I'm blessed with a brother-in-law who's a contractor and carpenter. He's absolutely reliable, and in my perhaps biased opinion, he's the best! I'll keep praying for your health situation.
I thought the recipe read like a bread. I was also wondering where the salt was when you were making it. I think the addition of salt would help it greatly. Lol
Hi, Totally obsessed with the tin lantern on your table.. is it an antique or did you make it! It’s beautiful.. please please let us know where to get one!❤❤❤
Awesome news about your lead test results! It used to get into little ones because of teething. Especially the edge of a crib that used to be painted with lead paint. It stayed in their systems for several years after. It doesn't go away easily. Thank God it wasn't used in paint anymore when I had my kids. They would pull themselves up on the side of the crib and bite on the top bar. Sending prayers for your healing dear sweet young lady.
Hi Justine and Ron, My grand father died of lead poisoning. He was a printer (the old fashion lead letters, if you know what I mean). He also was a smoker, and I'm pretty sure he did not wash his hands before lighting up, and picking up his letters right in the process. My dad was also a printer, and a smoker: did not die of lead poisoning or lung cancer for that matter... So go figure? Everyone's immune system must be different, I suppose. Be well Justine. As usual: great video. Thank you
I am in nova scotia, canada and, even though you are American, I enjoy hearing you, watching the cooking, etc. I do have American relatives, who's last name is Hart. In regards to the Hart Island burial ground, for papers, I applaud it. Most cities, here, do have spots in graveyards or old burial grounds. My grandmother is buried in one such (under a walkway). Keep up the great broadcast!
Hello Justine and Ron, I love watching your channels! I have noticed that the two of you are quite fond of mustard. It just so happens that my last name is Mustard. My family immigrated to Delaware from Scotland in the early 1700s. Just thought you might find that interesting 😊
I look forward to when you do the weird history thing. And nice to see that you both are so creative. Has Ron ever tried lactaid to help with his milk intolerance issues
A story about lead poisoning: Back in 2014, we bought our circa 1823 house and started renovations. I was removing lots of lead paint right away (heat gun, sanding), I KNEW it was lead paint, and thought I was protecting myself well enough. I got sick quickly and over the next three years was in horrible pain almost constantly, but the doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong (and I didn't think it was the lead paint). Our cats threw up quite frequently, and then after about 3 years, one of the cats snuck into a room I was working on that I had sealed off. She walked around in the lead paint dust on the floor, and promptly got extremely sick to the point of near death (she lost so much weight so fast it was super scary!). But even though she did that, the vet and I didn't make that connection, until one day I had a lightbulb moment and asked the vet for a lead test on her. They had to send it to Cornell, it cost $80 for that test, and it came back with numbers THROUGH the ROOF! She got chelation therapy meds which were very hard to procure, and she is a healthy happy cat now! This prompted me to get tested for lead, and my finger prick was 48.6, the highest they had ever seen at my doctor's office! The blood test came back at 28.5 (compared to Justine's 2), and that FINALLY answered why I had been so incredibly sick for those 3 years! I developed an atypical kidney stone from it and had surgery which helped alleviate most of the worst of the abdominal pain I had. So YES, adults CAN have lead poisoning, and it is NOT pleasant! Even levels UNDER 10 can cause mild side effects, such as mineral and vitamin depletion, and there are permanent side effects. These days I have to be extremely diligent about taking my vitamins, minerals, and Vitamin D, I get a lot of migraines, plus I have other ongoing medical issues as a result that I'm dealing with. Anyone reading this with medical problems, check out the Mayo Clinic website with the list of lead poisoning symptoms for adults. Get tested, if only to rule it out, and insist on getting tested, especially if they are not figuring out what is wrong with you right away. If I had gotten tested as soon as I started getting sick, I would have been able to save 3 years of my life that was absolute torture!
I'm sure a bunch of people commented this but lead tastes super sweet, so the lead paint chips taste really good actually haha so kids just start eating them like crazy without realizing it. Some ancient drinks were actually sweetened with lead which is insane and clearly died out in popularity lol.
Most interesting. I also thought the cookies resembled English Muffins at a glance. It’s never a dull moment with these recipes, it seems. Best of luck, Justine, on the food allergy tests and any others they can provide. Glad you did not ingest large levels of lead and that today was a good day for you. I know what it feels like to constantly wait for an independent contractor who communicate poorly. Relieved that he hasn’t yet been paid. Usually, that type of person will return when they need the money or no longer have other contracts going on at the same time. Last but not least, I found the mass grave info to be interestingly intriguing. Perfect true story as we ease into Halloween. 👍 Speaking of which……..I’m looking forward to the turnip carving and your costumes. Take care. 👍😍
The cookies do look like English muffins. I bet they would be good if you made breakfast sandwiches. Fry up some egg, sausage with cheese. That sounds delicious right now. Lol!
LOL you guys make me laugh with those cookies I can guarantee you that was obviously a poor man's cookie or a peasant recipe but it does do the job it keeps people's belly's full a little bit of tea or coffee and one or two cookies goes a long way I would say that's the reason why it is what it is and maybe people put jam on top of it you never know❤
I wonder if this recipe was because of the scarcity of some ingredients of the time. that would be my first thought. Oh Justine, I will be praying for good results from your tests. bless your heart.
So crazy. I just watched the last video and suggested a test for metal poisoning based on your use of antique cookware. Glad you got the test. Happy it's not too bad. Wonder if a particularly sensitive person could have symptoms at a level 2.
Ron: “These cookies are terrible!” “I’m going to give them to the chickens.”
Ron: Eats 7 of the cookies. 😂
If the painter ever does show up make him eat the rest of those cookies!
😂
On your fun fact: Here in Canada, I worked in a cemetery. We had a few plots dedicated to the poor. homeless, people with no family. They were all cremated, placed in boxes and stacked into one of those concrete coffin liners bins in the plot. So that if family does somehow show up, they can be dug up and the box taken out for them.

That was probably tested already since she’s had her blood drawn recently
@@catherinecran9329not necessarily. It's not standard bloodwork.
@@amyw9441 As a type 2 myself, you are correct. Can't assume A1C was checked. And if it's autoimmune, it could certainly affect the pancreas.
@@amyw9441 Yeah you’re right. I was thinking of my CBC results and confused myself because they have the standard blood glucose but not A1C
Hormones can also contribute to UTI’s They’re miserable

I'm blessed with a brother-in-law who's a contractor and carpenter. He's absolutely reliable, and in my perhaps biased opinion, he's the best!
I'll keep praying for your health situation.
Love your videos hope you feel better soon
I thought the recipe read like a bread. I was also wondering where the salt was when you were making it. I think the addition of salt would help it greatly. Lol
I never knew about the lead paint plates. The burial places are so interesting! Thanks for the lessons today.
Hi, Totally obsessed with the tin lantern on your table.. is it an antique or did you make it! It’s beautiful.. please please let us know where to get one!❤❤❤
Great info, even if the cookies are squished English muffins!😊
Awesome news about your lead test results! It used to get into little ones because of teething. Especially the edge of a crib that used to be painted with lead paint. It stayed in their systems for several years after. It doesn't go away easily. Thank God it wasn't used in paint anymore when I had my kids. They would pull themselves up on the side of the crib and bite on the top bar. Sending prayers for your healing dear sweet young lady.
Hi Justine and Ron,
My grand father died of lead poisoning. He was a printer (the old fashion lead letters, if you know what I mean). He also was a smoker, and I'm pretty sure he did not wash his hands before lighting up, and picking up his letters right in the process. My dad was also a printer, and a smoker: did not die of lead poisoning or lung cancer for that matter... So go figure? Everyone's immune system must be different, I suppose.
Be well Justine. As usual: great video. Thank you
I am in nova scotia, canada and, even though you are American, I enjoy hearing you, watching the cooking, etc. I do have American relatives, who's last name is Hart. In regards to the Hart Island burial ground, for papers, I applaud it. Most cities, here, do have spots in graveyards or old burial grounds. My grandmother is buried in one such (under a walkway). Keep up the great broadcast!
Hello Justine and Ron, I love watching your channels! I have noticed that the two of you are quite fond of mustard. It just so happens that my last name is Mustard. My family immigrated to Delaware from Scotland in the early 1700s. Just thought you might find that interesting 😊
It will be interesting Justine giving weird history facts and Rhon sewing project! David and Rebecca Back.
Unfortunately, I'm afraid the "poke" may have been a catalyst.
I look forward to when you do the weird history thing. And nice to see that you both are so creative. Has Ron ever tried lactaid to help with his milk intolerance issues
A story about lead poisoning: Back in 2014, we bought our circa 1823 house and started renovations. I was removing lots of lead paint right away (heat gun, sanding), I KNEW it was lead paint, and thought I was protecting myself well enough. I got sick quickly and over the next three years was in horrible pain almost constantly, but the doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong (and I didn't think it was the lead paint). Our cats threw up quite frequently, and then after about 3 years, one of the cats snuck into a room I was working on that I had sealed off. She walked around in the lead paint dust on the floor, and promptly got extremely sick to the point of near death (she lost so much weight so fast it was super scary!). But even though she did that, the vet and I didn't make that connection, until one day I had a lightbulb moment and asked the vet for a lead test on her. They had to send it to Cornell, it cost $80 for that test, and it came back with numbers THROUGH the ROOF! She got chelation therapy meds which were very hard to procure, and she is a healthy happy cat now! This prompted me to get tested for lead, and my finger prick was 48.6, the highest they had ever seen at my doctor's office! The blood test came back at 28.5 (compared to Justine's 2), and that FINALLY answered why I had been so incredibly sick for those 3 years! I developed an atypical kidney stone from it and had surgery which helped alleviate most of the worst of the abdominal pain I had.
So YES, adults CAN have lead poisoning, and it is NOT pleasant! Even levels UNDER 10 can cause mild side effects, such as mineral and vitamin depletion, and there are permanent side effects. These days I have to be extremely diligent about taking my vitamins, minerals, and Vitamin D, I get a lot of migraines, plus I have other ongoing medical issues as a result that I'm dealing with.
Anyone reading this with medical problems, check out the Mayo Clinic website with the list of lead poisoning symptoms for adults. Get tested, if only to rule it out, and insist on getting tested, especially if they are not figuring out what is wrong with you right away. If I had gotten tested as soon as I started getting sick, I would have been able to save 3 years of my life that was absolute torture!
I'm sure a bunch of people commented this but lead tastes super sweet, so the lead paint chips taste really good actually haha so kids just start eating them like crazy without realizing it. Some ancient drinks were actually sweetened with lead which is insane and clearly died out in popularity lol.
Oh wow!
Most interesting. I also thought the cookies resembled English Muffins at a glance. It’s never a dull moment with these recipes, it seems.
Best of luck, Justine, on the food allergy tests and any others they can provide. Glad you did not ingest large levels of lead and that today was a good day for you.
I know what it feels like to constantly wait for an independent contractor who communicate poorly. Relieved that he hasn’t yet been paid. Usually, that type of person will return when they need the money or no longer have other contracts going on at the same time.
Last but not least, I found the mass grave info to be interestingly intriguing. Perfect true story as we ease into Halloween. 👍 Speaking of which……..I’m looking forward to the turnip carving and your costumes. Take care. 👍😍
Have fun and stay save😊🎉❤
The cookies do look like English muffins. I bet they would be good if you made breakfast sandwiches. Fry up some egg, sausage with cheese. That sounds delicious right now. Lol!
Justine we will continue to keep you in prayer. God bless you.
Smash that like button friends! It’s FREE! ❤
LOL you guys make me laugh with those cookies I can guarantee you that was obviously a poor man's cookie or a peasant recipe but it does do the job it keeps people's belly's full a little bit of tea or coffee and one or two cookies goes a long way I would say that's the reason why it is what it is and maybe people put jam on top of it you never know❤
It’s hilarious how Justine told Ron to stop talking @ 8:25. “Backup…..beep beep beep”
Hahaha 😂
Love Justine and Ron but I’m late to watching my favorite people. Praying for Justine to be healthy and happy.💕💕🙏🙏
I wonder if this recipe was because of the scarcity of some ingredients of the time. that would be my first thought. Oh Justine, I will be praying for good results from your tests. bless your heart.
Oh know you both must be very disappointed,but still looking forward to seeing you both
Justine praying for you 🙏🙏🙏❤️
So crazy. I just watched the last video and suggested a test for metal poisoning based on your use of antique cookware. Glad you got the test. Happy it's not too bad. Wonder if a particularly sensitive person could have symptoms at a level 2.
Hope you are feeling better
I keep saying 1/2 Chobani, extra creamy, oat milk and half vanilla almond milk with a little sweetener and it’s delicious! With no gas!
