- Today I'm sharing our Guest Bedroom and how I prep the room for Guests, I help my friend Linda with her "Fall in New England Box" and then I show you how I use my Victorio Strainer that I purchased in an Amish Country Store years ago.

Love Linda , she has the best chanel on utube
It brings me back home
I'm from Texas, moved the first time to the South Shore (MA) in the mid-70s and met my future husband. I learned quickly the difference about what we called things in Texas and what New Englanders called things. The first time I ordered a coffee, I was asked if I wanted a "regular" and thinking that meant black, I said yes. Imagine my surprise when I was brought a coffee sweetened and with cream! I too had never heard of American Chop Suey, and I thought it was some kind of Chinese food but turned out to be what we call Goulash. Again, elastic, we called rubber band and what we called a purse, it was called a pocketbook in NE. Don't even get me started on the first time I ordered a milkshake...too hilarious. Even the Boston area people took me a while to warm up to, but now I love New England and can't imagine living anywhere else. Thanks for the great video...take care. 😊🤠😯
So sweet
Well I am in texas now for the past 5 years I am from Boston Massachusetts all my life
Lol so funny everyone will say where are you from
I still decorated as a new Englander lol
So much to do in New England
I miss it. Enjoy
We always call it American Chop Suey! Two of my favorite channels in one video!!! Thank you Carla, for taking us along on your day! 🍁🍂🍁 🍅🍎
Wow, thank you!
Your decorated bedroom looks very welcoming for guests. But you are braver than I for providing candles to light...so often others can be a bit forgetful away from their home and leave one burning and then it is goodbye house.
Carla, the guess room looks so cozy, and I love, love, love the indian shutters. Its hard to find homes that still have them. A hidden gem. ❤️ my two favorite channels, yours and Linda's.
Thank you so much Linda, I truly appreciate your kind words!
Lots of sauce ...Such a wonderful treat all winter long!!
The guest room is lovely
Thank you so much 😊
Came here from Linda's channel. I'm am a central NYer (foothills of the Adirondacks) and I also call it goulash and rubber band and I'm very close to New England states. Lovely video.
Very interesting! What a beautiful area you live in Teresa. Have a great week!
Those boxes are beyond wonderful
I did miss it
Glad you helped out
A lot of work for surec
Love you both! I really, really really, want to move to New England. Waiting to see if I can remain a remote employee, lol. Love the scenery, formality, architecture, history. Linda posted a home for sale, and I told my husband we should just buy it and stop waiting for work to decide!
I can so relate to desperately wanting to move to New England. We moved here 4 years ago from Michigan, a dream come true and we have NO regrets. We just love it here and love our house. I wish you the best in having your dream come true soon!!
Now I know what you mean! I've seen the strainers and never knew what they were or how to use one. Next on my list of trying for sure!
Enjoy your company and the weekend!!
I love your channel ❤so peaceful. I laugh because as children my mom would use a Victorio Strainer for the tamales for the Holiday! Fun memories 😊
Thank you so much Miriam! Yes, the Victoria Strainer has so many uses....definitely a "fun" way to get the kids to help! lol. Thanks for watching and have a great weekend!
What a nice surprise your guest room is so welcoming 😊
I have a large strainer that came with my cookware set many years ago. I still keep it.
Yup, here in Michigan we call it Goulash! I had a Victoria Strainer for years. My late Father in Law actually bought it for me one years because My husband planted 48 plants of tomatoes! I gave it to my son as I don't can anymore. Your's looks newer and I noticed it had a guard on it. my old one didn't and the juice would spray all over. Of course my handy Machine repairman husband made one for me and fixed the problem ( gosh he should have pattened that) Your tomatoes look good. If you add green pepper to your juice don't you have to pressure cook that? instead of water bath.
Wonderful video, I will try your tomatoes recipe, thank you for an inspiration, have a wonderful time with your cousins ❤❤❤❤
Loved your video. It was fun seeing you with Linda. It looks like you had a lot of fun packing up those boxes! In Montana we call it goulash and rubber bands too! Good job on canning your 🍅 they turned out great. Your guests are going to love the guest bedroom, it's so nice and cozy. Enjoy your time with them. Have a wonderful week...Sharon
Thank you, you too Sharon!
Montana here. Yes and yes. Fun.
Hi, as promised catching up with your videos whilst having my afternoon coffee. It was lovely to see you with Linda she is a lovely person too. Your guest bedroom looks beautiful, homely and comforting, kind regards Julie from England 🇬🇧
Hello Carla, Such an amazing video seeing you and Linda together, always enjoy and follow you both ❤❤ I enjoyed the scenic ride to Linda's , the ride & your choice of music I absolutely loved. Your walking and taking us along felt so relaxing to me. Carla, you make preparations for the tomato 🍅 sauce look easy and delicious 😋. Enjoyed the tour of the welcoming bedroom, your guests will feel loved and welcomed 😀 Can you please share the name of the book on Linda's table for the gift box. Thankful for this wonderful video. Blessings to you and hope you have a peaceful week ☮ ❤
The book was New England Desserts
Goulash!! Rubber Band!! Yes, but that's because I'm from Michigan.
YAY!!!!
I'm from Michigan, too, so it's goulash. To put another spin on that is in the Midwest, we also often time add bean to our goulash.
My mom called it "slop-o-roni" just to make us all laugh. I can't even write it without laughing. 😆
Yes, I've had it with beans also. Slop-o-roni is hilarious! I wonder if sloppy joe's is a midwest thing? I'll have to ask my friends out here. Also, I will say I miss a good coney dog. Here they do a "chili dog" and the buns are basically a piece of white bread folded with a flat bottom. However, the seafood is INCREDIBLE! Thanks for watching!
So wonderful Carla, I love your and Linda's channels. TFS!
Hello from Indiana ! Your guest room looks so cozy! making tomato juice, i bet it will be wonderful in your "Goulash" ! yes that is what we call it, however I have never made it ! have a super week ! Paula
Hello from southern Ontario 😊. Great video! Loved seeing you and Linda and your “Bed Chamber” is gorgeous! Enjoy your visit with your cousins!
You call it Rubber band, Linda calls it Elastic… you could compromise and call it an Elastic band..😊.. lovely video, so enjoy both you & Linda so much… Thank you Carla..😊
Love it, great compromise!! 😉😊
Wonderful video Carla!
My family called goulash Slumgullion. I use either interchangeably.
How did you two meet? Great video and will be back! I used to live in CT and miss NE terribly, so your and Linda’s channel fill my heart. ❤ Mandy from Tucson 🌵
I did a video on how we met roughly a year ago. Thank you for watching!
Lovely guestroom!
Thank you Deanna!
Carla, talk about different names for the same thing, my Squeezo is your Victorio. Squeezo is made in the USA, is all metal, trademarked and has been made since the early 1900s. We bought it at the Vermont Country Store back in the 1970s when I started canning.
Oh my, I have never heard of the Squeeze!! How fun!
Love the walk thru the woods with the dappled sunlight!!!! Hearing the crunch of the gavle under foot... like I was walking with you. But i would probably be doing a lot more huffing and puffing!!!! I am 72 and have never heard of American chop suey!!! I live in California and just call it a casserole with meat sauce. So enjoyed seeing you and Linda together. Just watched her video this morning! Your guest room is so charming. The bed is gorgeous. Your husband is so talented. As a reader, I would love to find a basket of books and brochures waiting for me! The little maple candies on the pillow is so cute. I was just thinking this morning, that I need to start checking the stores for those Maple leaf cream filled cookies. They are seasonal and just make my fall cup of coffee extra special.
Born and bred in Massachusetts 🧡we say American chop Suey and elastic😅
I wasn’t quick enough to get a box. Would love to have seen what was in them! Enjoy your videos!!
Thank you Barbara! I'm sure Linda will be sharing that soon.
I am actually a follower of Linda’s. And just found you lol. But I’m from Indiana and we call it what you do 😂
Yay, Team Goulash! LOL
Love your sunglasses!!
Thank you!
We call it goulash here! Now I have a new channel to watch 🤗
Yay, thank you!
Oh how fun tuning into your video and seeing you with Linda!! Enjoy both of you so much! You both are great!!!!!!m
I live I Ohio not far from Dresden, Ohio and seeing your Longaberger casseroles dishes made me smile! New England baskets? I truly enjoy your videos. Enjoy your guests!! Thanks for sharing in your busy life the videos of New England! Blessings, Pam Arganbright
Oh Pam, I used to sell Longaberger and made the trip to Dresden a few times. Thank you for watching!
Hi Carla, yup American chopsuey and elastic, but I grew up in Claremont NH. I tried to go to your Amazon link
for the sheer curtains but it didn't seem to work. Could you link again. Love your videos but whenever you take us for a ride I end up crying...I miss my New England home.
Awww, I’m sorry! I will look into the reason the Link is not working.
The Link should work now
Your guest room looks so welcoming. I hope you had great fun!
Thank you Barbara. We had a great visit! 😊
Love your videos.
Thank you!
Lovely video Carla. It was nice seeing you and Linda together 😊. Nice job with the tomatoes 🍅👍🏻. The guest room looks so welcoming for your guests, they’re going to love it. You resemble Diane Sawyer with your sunglasses on ☺️. Enjoy the day today!
Thank you Donna. You know, I've been told that before about Diane Sawyer. lol
Hi Carla, your canning brought back lots of memories of when my mom and I would do this many years ago. I think we used something called a mill or sieve that had a handle that you turned. Your juice looked really pretty and it will be so yummy this winter. Great seeing you and Linda having fun.
Was the Mill silver with a wooden "mallet"? My Aunt used to use something like that.
Such a beautiful video. The landscape is stunning. Your guest room is so pretty, cheerful and welcoming. Raised in California, we call it Goulash.
Thank you Janet ! Really?! Interesting that you call it Goulash too.
Born and raised on the South Shore myself. Now living in the South. American Chop Suey and Elastic it is! 😂
Bedroom looks so cozy! Fun with Linda too. Hugs
Thank you Betsy!
I follow you both & love what your both are into! Simple New England living!❤ You’re both very inspiring! Blessing’s from Bethlehem, New Hampshire!
Chop Suey!
Thank you so much!!
Goulash and rubber bands. I to am from Michigan 😊
I wonder if we call it goulash because there's a lot of Polish and German in the area. I'm Polish and that's what my Mom called it.
Very true 😊
In the mid-Atlantic I've always called it Hungarian Goulash. I do have one of those Victorian Strainers but it's just called a tomato press. Love your channel. I love New England especially the architecture and openness. I'll be heading up to Maine next Monday to spend two week at a friends camp on the pond. I can't wait.
Interesting, what I call Hungarian Goulash is more of a stew (stew meat not hamburger) but the key ingredient is Paprika. Isn't is fun learning different terms we use throughout this Country. Enjoy your vacation, two weeks is wonderful!
Goulash!
Bummer! I missed getting the box!😥Wish I had remembered! Is there a waiting list? Lol
Oh yes!!! Pop vs Soda that’s one that is different 🤣😂🤪
Your guest room looks so welcoming and beautiful! I’d love to check in !😆💙
Thank you Jean! Linda sold them as first come first serve and sold out very quickly. She may be doing more in the future. Have a great week!
I'm 75, black. from LA the city. Our babysitter was from LA, the state, and she called it goulash (P.S. she added lima beans).
Interesting, I've never had it with lima beans. Thank you for watching and have a great week!!
Hi there! I am a great fan of Linda's, from faraway Africa - was good to see her here on your channel. What is YOUR name, please?
Welcome June, my name is Carla.
I called it American Chop Suey even growing up in California because my Parents are from New England, but My Sisters from New England moved to Nebraska and called it from then on Goulash.
Are your recipes similar?
Yes, similar recipes just a different name. I just had NEVER heard it called Chop Suey before so it caught me off guard. Chop Suey is made with Chinese noodles or rice "in my World". lol
Goulash...just made it for my husband
OMG, I haven't had it in years. Grew up eating it quite often though. Have a great week!
It's a great fall favorite! Loved seeing my 2 favorite girls together. That made a great vlog
Guolosh, did I spell it hat right?🤔 Hungarian goulosh!
It looks like there is an extention on the link preventing it to link properly
It should work now
Goulash…rubber band
