    Oh my gosh, what a thrill to see you make pasties!! My grandparents were born in England. My grandfather was a miner and my grandmother would make him pasties, wrap them in a linen napkin and put it in his pocket. I remember helping cut onions, potatoes and carrots. Sometimes rutabaga, most of us kids didn’t like so carrots for us. Boy, this brought back a flood of wonderful memories! Your pasties look delicious. Merry Christmas 🎄

      I love that you mention the cloth. I know there's a myth about the crimp being thrown away to avoid getting the toxic dirt on the pasty but all mining families seem to mention that the miners had them wrapped in a cloth and wouldn't have thrown food away. I live on the Devon/ Cornwall border so have grown up eating pasties.

      The coffee strainer was in style 40 yrs ago and sold everywhere. I have looked for them in stores since then, but never looked online. They work great. Use fine grit coffee grounds and boiling water with a paper strainer. Since there is only one hole in the bottom, you will have to refill it until you have the desired amount of coffee. It takes very little patience to get fresh coffee for one, without a machine (you do have to have boiling water).

    I’m very familiar with the Cornish pasties you made! Where I grew up in northeastern MN the pasty is a traditional immigrant meal from Cornwall. The Cornish men and women brought the recipe with them when the came to work in the iron mines. They had been tin miners in Cornwall and came to America for a better life. The pasty was a common meal made for the miners with a thick edge crust to hold when they ate it. They would throw the thick crust away because it would be dirty from mine dust. It’s been years since I had a pasty! I think I’ll pick some up this Christmas when I go home to visit 😊

    Pasties are a treat, I've had them in Michigan where they are very common. A bit of history for Benjamin- pasties were eaten by coal miners since they were easy to pack for lunch and can also be eaten cold if there is no way to warm them up.
    I hope they turned out delicious, you can also freeze them and heat them up when you're short on time. Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas. Love from Minnesota!

If you like this peaceful gardening and cooking style, I love watching The Elliott Homestead and The Parisian Farm Girl and I love embracing the numerous talented TH-cam creators. There are so many to choose from and many I have learned about from Laura and Aaron collaborations. I think Aaron might have said in an old video, “who watches tv anymore?…or something like that. At that moment it dawned on me that he was right, I don’t watch tv anymore….nothing on tv can compare. However, does anyone remember getting up early on Sunday morning and watching a great garden tv program called The Gardening Guy. I think his name was Paul and he was entertaining, and so knowledgeable.

    What beautiful memories you are giving to your children. Watching you and Benjamin walking to and from this is what occurred to me and brought a tear to my heart. I know the children will cherish these memories. I feel very fortunate as a mother of two grown girls, I made great meaningful memories that both have told me that these are their most meaningful memories. You and your husband remind me of my husband and I how you both include them in everything and the wonders of what you both do everyday. Remember this as you continue, you are doing the right things. No one's children are perfect but they will keep the good things and throw away those things that are not good as they mature. Keep up the great work and stay consistent. Thank you for sharing. Not one have been uninteresting. God bless you all.

    Oh my! What a beautiful video Laura! The gentleness from the music, the slow paced cooking (and I don’t even eat meat)and the calmness in your voice was an utter delight. Wishing you and your wonderful family the happiest Christmas. xxx

    My in-laws are from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and my mother-in-law showed me how to pasties shortly after my husband and I got married.. You can make them with good quality ground beef instead of steak, and that brings down the cost without sacrificing much on flavor. Many recipes call for turnips or rutabagas as well. Great video - I'm inspired to make pasty for dinner tonight.

    Beautifully done! Voice over and sound was perfect…I don’t know but I just loved hearing the pealing of the potatoes 🥔, well I loved all of it. Watching the children and thinking how this year has gone by so fast, feeling grateful that your videos have been here for so many reasons, not only have I learned so much, smiled, laughed at times and in full it’s been a wonderful distraction from these difficult times. Merry Christmas to you, Aaron, Benjamin, Samantha, and to your whole family. A special virtual hug and best of holidays to your wonderful Mom who when I know she’s on, it’s a guaranteed smile and laughter. 🥳 Happy New Year!

    This video is so sweet and special! Very nostalgic to me on an extra level because it takes me back to my early years on the farm. (Which, by the way, is less than 20 miles from where Laura lives). Merry Christmas 🎄 to Laura’s family and all the GA community! And many thanks for such a lovely GA offering! 🥰🎄💚💚💚

    Laura… my two loves are gardening and cooking. Loved this. Oh maybe you could give us a rating that your family gave the recipe. Would love to know if it was actually tasty ( now that I think about it, you probably would only share things that turned out to your liking. In any event, loved this video…music, pace and family

    I love this video that you presented to us this morning. It shows every little detail of your prep, including interaction with your children, and I loved when Samantha Grace came to you with open arms wanting to be held. It gave us a little glimpse of what your life is like when you’re not filming in the garden, it was a special Christmas gift for us! Thank you so much, and merry Christmas!

    Such a sweet, heartwarming glimpse into an idyllic day at your home. It was also wonderful to see a Northern Michigan staple, the pastie featured in your cooking. It has it roots feeding the copper miners of the UP. I am sure you are familiar with them from your visits to Mackinac. Feel free to load them up with filling the next time you make them and add a side of gravy.

    Laura I'm surprised you peel your home grown potatoes and carrots. I would eat the skin. Beautiful crops, beautiful process, beautiful mind. Thank you for being you Laura. Do we get to hear you play a Christmas piece on the piano? With floral arrangements in the room it's authentic Garden Answer vlog. We don't even mind if your videos don't have plants in them. We just love you and your beautiful family. Merry Christmas.

    The Upper Peninsula of Michigan is famous for pasties! The miners took them to work inside their coats to keep themselves warm. There are many different fillings used and an ongoing and heated debate on whether to use ketchup or gravy to top them off! So glad to see you enjoying them. Hope they become one of your traditions too ❤
