Can I just say that I watched Grace through ALL of lockdown 1, and she literally kept me sane when I lost my job and my house and I was sleeping on my mums sofa. I cannot emphasise more how much my mental health improved. I'd get up every morning at 5am (this doesn't happen anymore LOL), I'd sit outside with my cat and a coffee and a Grace video. Eventually, after taking a lot of breathing space and learning how to support myself more, I got a dream job abroad and ended up moving in the summer. I really don't think that I'd have been able to maintain my mental health without Grace's videos. It's not been great being in another lockdown whilst being trapped away from my mum and my cat in another country. I've avoided catching up on Grace's videos because it reminded me too much of when my mental health was really good. I almost felt guilty that, this winter, my mind has had a complete 360 - I felt like I'd lost all of the progress that I'd made in lockdown 1. Rewatching this now has made me realise how I was BEFORE lockdown ever happened - before rona. Even though I've been down recently, I've never been so supportive of my own mental health. Before Rona, I didn't understand the concept of burnout because I'd been living in that state for so many years, that it was normal. It was a constant feeling of disappointment, anger, over exhaustion and discontent. I wasn't sure whether I wanted to live --- Actually, I couldn't be bothered to think about living, much beyond working to scrape together my rent money. I just didn't care about anything. The thing is, I haven't felt that in over a year now. Now, I let myself have breathing space. I let myself enjoy tasks. I let myself take a break from things that I wasn't enjoying. I have COMMITTED to my lifelong dream of moving out of England. Actually, I've not just committed to it - I've achieved it. Grace has played such a HUGE role in this change in my mindset. Just by watching her every day, I was able to slow my pace and focus on the things that brought me joy. I've got tears forming now - thank you, Grace, for being one of the things that saved my life. I'll forever be indebted to you.
Tears forming? A TH-camr saved your life? Huh? Im confused. YOU DO REALIZE SHE'S A STRANGER? WHY not contact your own friends and family? Get off the internet.
@@wendymcbridemarinecorpscom8811 You're right! It's almost as if some people don't have that privilege, but then again, you probably don't learn that kind of separation in an American educational system. StRAnGeR DaNgErrRrRrRrR.
Exactly 😂😂😂 but her family is just too lovely! I’m sure they didn’t actually mind 🙈 Btw if you’re looking for something to watch, I also have a channel with videos from London ☺️
I do love the closeness of you and your family, It's awesome to see all the love, also your Dad never fails to crack me up, He's so funny! I would never have those potatoes you made because I would never have the patience for 15-hour potatoes, I'm not much of a cook anyway. Love from Ky USA.
I haven't seen what happens yet , but I would recommend using coconut oil as sub for duck fat , because it solidifies in a similar way to duck fat .That will give it a strong structure
I haven’t thought about this before but makes total sense!!😍 thanks for sharing! Btw if you’re looking for something to watch, I also have a channel with videos from London ☺️
Grace treating her parents because they have had no alone time and wants to treat them to a date night: proceeds to joins her parents at the table 🙈❤️🤣💕✌️then afterwards watching TV 🤣🤣🤣aww love her!! Sure her parents didn't mind. Such a lovely family relationship 💕💕💕
Every time you mention the beach I think about how much I think you’d like where I live. I live on PEI in Canada and the beaches here are absolutely stunning. It’s the perfect place to just get away and relax. After the pandemic if you ever find yourself wanting to unplug and spend some time away pei is perfect for it. I would highly recommend. We have so much local seafood and tons of stunning beaches and it’s rather small here so you don’t feel the pressure and the rush of a city even when you’re in the city. The local restaurants are amazing and I genuinely think you’d love it here. I moved away for a few months at one point but inevitably came back because I missed it too much to stay away!
It is stunning. My girl went to uni in NB, and we took her to PEI for an outing. It was lovely. (I'm from ON). I'd move there in a minute. Maybe Grace and Honor will go there one day.
🤣🤣 When Grack say's I literally smell everything I cook, I laughed so hard because my youngest son and daughter- in- law does the exact same thing. Keep your spirits up Grace, also your beach painting was not that bad, have dad Booth work with you some more..❤❤
The duck fat is the entire point of the recipe Grace ^^ (I'm French and we used to eat potatoes cooked in duck fat a lot when I was a kid. It's amazing and the taste is pretty unique. I've been a vegetarian for 10 years now and no oil can recreate this taste. I miss it x)). In this recipe it's also key to keep the potatoes glued together because it hardens when it's cold (like coconut oil). And btw, you don't have to make a 15h recipe and you don't have to fry fat in more fat (like wtf??????). I'm pretty sure this actually ruins the taste of the duck fat. You can just melt some of the duck fat, mix it with your potatoes + some herbs (rosmary, etc.) and cook them in your oven for like 30-45 minutes
@@susannechickenmom5621 I don't see how I wasn't nice. I never post any mean comment on TH-cam and I love Grace and her content so it wouldn't make any sense for me to be rude. Giving my opinion and some advice on the recipe she's trying is not rude so please, keep your negativity to yourself and stop accusing people of something they didn't do. That's not nice. At all.
I’m commenting before I’ve watched the vid, but I do really enjoy your channel Grace. Love seeing what you get up to on your escapades and your voice is so easy to listen to ☺️ Hope lockdown 3.0 is treating you ok !
You know what this video made me realise. That you would be absolutely amazing as a bed and breakfast owner/ hostess. Just cooking all day everyday, always fresh baking avaible on random nooks and cranies, just being social and friendly to everyone. you're just screaming nice grandma vibes and I'm all for it
Hi I love your videos !!!! I have a video idea for you, basically you recreate classic supermarket cakes like Colin the Caterpillar. I'm not sure if anyone has done it before but I thought it was a good idea :)
TH-cam just made me the notification 9 minutes late- this is not ok😭😅 I look forward to your videos so much grace! They are keeping me sane through online school x
The same gal said it also works with vegetable fat like Trex which is solid at room temp which holds it together better than the oil if any veggie wants to try it!!!
If you can't find that and don't want the regular mandolin, I recommend finding a food processor that has a slicing blade. Mine doesn't work 100% perfectly, but it's so quick and safe compared to other options. Plus a lot of them have a blade which one side slices and the other grates/shreds, and on top of that it's a regular food processor too so that saves a ton of time when you need minced veg or something. I swear I'm not a food processor sales person, I just know how life changing a multi function one can be! 😂💚
Lovely Grace, you got this awesome light blue mug tumbler with a straw in a lot of your videos. Where did you get that from?? I need it in my life. It is my favourite colour. Thanks for your positive energy during those ... times ❤❤
Hey grace, could you let us know what your experience is with accutane? I’m considering it but I’m a bit worried about the side effects! Your skin looks so good!!!!
any food that takes 15 hours to make, needs to be MIND BLOWING
In my opinion, if it takes mods that more than 2h should be amazing 😂 that’s my patience
uploading at 5 on a Monday is such a perfect time!! Always puts a smile on my face after a tough day of schoolwork:))

I was cracking up thinking about that, bless her
Hahah I thought the same but I think it’s just her nature 😂❤️ too cute
Exactly. She obviously is OOD in how she gets so homesick and wants her parents so close. JESUS. SHE'S IN HER 20'S??!

All vegan stuff and it tastes amazing
