That gruel porridge would hit the spot for a starving person and theyd praise god for having it. There are no words to describe how really rough our ancestors lived and survived. Ben Franklin was a genius, a gentlemen not so much but wise indeed. Congratulations on your achievements, We greatly enjoy your rendition of how early Americans lived.
A hungry man eats what he is served.
Well done Ron and Justine on your millionth! Keep up the great work.
There is a great biography about Benjamin Franklin that revealed him being a womanizer and how he abandoned his first wife. The reason why I say it was a great biography is because often biographies were patriotic so that highlighted the good and ignored or lightly mentioned the bad. And some biographies intentionally dig for the skeletons. This particular one I read gave Ben in an uncensored view and let the reader decide. It was written by Walter Isaacson I believe.
BTW, unless I REALLY had no choice of food and fasting/starving won't work until payday (which I've had days of no food because nothing in the cupboards and no money in the bank), if gruel was it and offered...give me a bib and let me eat (I guess).
Congrats on your milestone. Really enjoy your videos.
Yes!!!!! Congratulations to a wonderful couple that brings me so much joy.
Y'all deserve 1M subscribers just for that pot de cham bre laundry video - Justine for washing it and Ron for ever wearing it again 😂 My husband and I love to watch both channels, y'all are too adorable and the history is great
Thankyou so much!!
Congratulations! As someone who struggles with reading I respect and appreciate Ron's efforts and bravery! How to afford steak? I buy a roast and I cut it myself, across the grain, into steaks. I can get about 10 small steaks for 20-25.00.
I also buy stew meat and fry it with mushrooms and onions and serve it with gravy over noodles or potatoes.
"The economies down"....understatement. thanks for this I WILL try it.
1 million 🎉😮 Now that’s a great achievement for the both of you. Congratulations 🎊🎈🎉🍾
I noticed Early American reached a MILLION subs last weekend and I was overjoyed and so proud of you guys!!
Congratulations on your 1 Million Subscriber recognition plaque. God is blessing you both.
I love that you say grace! And that you have a cat! ❤
Congratulations 🍾🎉😊you guys deserve it! Have watched a few years now and still here and loving the progress ❤️ Many blessings.
Mish Mish is such a handsome good boy, I love how he accepts his loving rubs! Congratulations on your well deserved million subs plaque! I love both of you guy’s channels!! ❤️❤️
Right after church as always. Look forward to my Early American and Frontier Patriot each week!😊
I say this with all due respect to Benjamin Franklin, who I greatly admire and appreciate, but that painting of him shirtless is the stuff of nightmares. 😂 Fantastic video as always, you two! Can't wait for the next one! 😃
Congratulations on one million subscribers. You two have worked very hard for it. Love both your channels.
I was laughing so hard every time Ron took the first few bites lol tears were pouring down my cheeks, like I was crying!😂😂😂
Wait, did you read that Mr. Franklin said to "have a house and a fire to put her in?" LOL LOL
I had a grandpa many greats, on my fathers side who’s brothers fought in the American Revolution, one of them was captured and sent to a prison ship and never heard from again. But, my grandpa lived until he was 107 years old. He said he lived that long because he had a shot of home brew whisky every day! Lol they think he died from a broken heart because his favorite daughter who was taking care of him had to move in with her daughter because she was in her 80’s and needed help in her old age. He got so mad at her for moving away from him, he refused to speak to her, and he died not long after that. Bless him. My Great Granny who I loved dearly was born in 1885 ( her father was in the civil war) lived until just three months shy of her 100 birthday. She had been a midwife. She was amazing, I still miss her. I wouldn’t be surprised at people living not their 120’s.
Congratulations on 1 million and let’s get you to 2 million!
❤❤❤Can't go wrong with Benjamin Franklin ❤❤❤
Ron can not hide the fact that he don't like this dish. Badge of courage for Ron cause he's sucking it up and eating it anyway!
A million subscribers? Excellent!
I love listening to you guys about all the history of things, it's very interesting
Cannot wait to watch this. Will do so after work. Got to go make sandwiches. I work at a Subway as a Sandwich Artist.
Seriously, Sandwich Artist is a trademark for Subway. I have been working there for almost 6 years. Next month is my 6th year anniversary. ❤ Love you both. Congratulations on the million subscribers. May you have many blessings.
We had Subway for lunch today 😅my brother used to work there too as a sandwich artist. You have my full respect.
Congrats for your award winning channel! God bless both of you.
Thank you so much 😀
Ben Franklin used to take air baths! He did!❤
I can’t stop laughing! Benny is an exhibitionist! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You guys are great. Love watching.
You guys are awsome! A channel that leaves people feeling encouraged after you watch! Very cool!
You are such a pleasant couple I love the way you guys illustrate history. I never knew that about Ben Franklin. You learn something new every day. My grandmother always said that.
Congratulations! One million subscribers! A well-deserved recognition award! I've been following since before this was a channel! (when Justine was on the 'other' historical YT channel). Thanks Justine & Ron.
Beautiful prayer Justine. Ron doesn’t like, but Justine does. Rice is a common food ideal for
everyone because is filling. So the poor had this rice gruel food for a meal. Thank for the explanation.
I didn’t know that Benjamin Franklin invented the swimming styles.
Interesting to know that he said the quote: “No gain, no pain.”
It’s difficult to imagine Benjamin Franklin doing that routine.
Thank you Ron for the history facts. Especially the birth of Eastman Kodak.
Congratulations for the Golden Button of the million subscribers.
Congratulations to you on your 1 million subscriber Play Button.
Funny you say that, I lived in a camper with winters below zero, under a few feet of snow and felt that the chicken coop was warmer than the trailer.
Well done!!! 👏👏👏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤😊
My dad grew up poor in Iowa. He would eat leftover rice with milk or water for breakfast.
We have been so brainwashed about healthy food we forget that just having nutritious food was and what a joy it was sometimes just to have it. I am surprised no onions in the recipe.
You should collaborate with Townsends; he loves nutmeg, too!
I am sooo grateful to have found both of your channels! Every week, I learn something new and gobble up all your knowledge! You guys are the real history teachers, making history mean something because it's your passion, and it shows! As a fellow history and food lover, you two are going somewhere! Also, my partner & I are saving to buy our own plot of land in the woods so you are both an inspiration to work hard and focus on the goal! Love you both🫶🇺🇸🤍...your neighbour up north 🇨🇦
Congratulations to you both. You deserve it 💯 percent .. keep doing what you're doing. 👍
Congratulations! Love you two. Love Rons face while he is eating. Glad you like gruel Justine😅 you all make my day!
Love y’all so much!!!
Vinyl discs are making a comeback. There is hope for film to come back.
What a lovely dress Justine. Your wardrobe is always so thoughtfully put together. Love all your videos on both channels! Congratulations on a million subs - bravo to you both. 🎉
Congratulations 🍾 😄! I look forward to Wednesdays because of your chat .
Always put a smile on my face even after a crapfest of a day . 🥧
I've been following you since the Stevenson's house, Congratulations on your well deserved accomplishment! 🎉😊 My son learned about Benjamin Franklin's invention this past year, I had no idea he invented anything until then, Pretty wise words as well! 😂
Congratulations! That is very impressive! You both deserve a steak with all the trimmings!
What TH-cam should have sent you is a plaque made from wood so you can hang it in the cottage, and it would fit in!
Congratulations you two!!!
Congratulations! How exciting. Woohoo!
Congratulations stay awesome
Congratulations on over 1 million subscribers! No body deserves it more than you;
That is a big deal. 1 million subscribers. We love you
Old Ben is my husband's ancestor. Hubby inherited his hair. LOL
I have lived my entire adult life in Georgia and had no idea we grew rice. Amazing! I continuously learn something new on this and your other channel!
It’s Wednesday and I can’t wait too see what you have planned 🙏❤️
We were very poor when I was growing up. Many times my mom fed our family of 7 a bowl of rice with milk and sugar.
Exactly! We got commodity food when I was growing up and rice w/ milk and sugar was breakfast, lunch and dinner. Sometimes it was all 3 meals in a day.
We eat this every morning for breakfast we are a family of eight children we were 9🙏5 girls and four boys.. my mother and father used to make meals that stretched, and they were amazing and delicious😊

Such a lovely prayer Justine! Thank you. I hope you have a lovely day today and one extra for tomorrow!
...George Eastman also founded the Eastman School of Music. His favorite color was yellow and favorite letter was K. There's also a museum for him.
CONGRATULATIONS!!
Congratulations I'm so happy for both of you❤
"A stitch in time saves nine" and A penny saved is a penny earned" are also "Franklinisms"
Congratulations so proud of you both!
Congratulations on 1 million!
Oh, that Ben Franklin! Saucy! Who knew? He certainly was a man of the world. Also, congratulations on the plaque. It looks as if Frontier Patriot is almost there, too! Well done. Keep up the brilliant work, and thanks for all that you do.
Congrats on the TH-cam award!
Congratulations. So happy for you guys. 🤗❤🙏
Congratulations 🎉 so happy for you both ❤️
Ben Franklin is an OG you need to do a deep dive into him! he is awesome!
Congrats to you both many blessings!
This is funny. Just yesterday I trimmed all the fat off my beef for a stew, took the pieces that were not pure fat (because I felt that would not be good for them) and boiled the fat in rice for my dogs! 😂. They loved it!
Congrats! You totally deserve it. Many blessings to you❤
Congrats on all your subscribers,just great! Gruel is difficult for a sophisticated palate...we are so use to what we each prefer to eat,when you have really experienced hunger for a long period of time,you would appreciate it more. A little bit of food is better than none at all even if it is thin gruel. We learned from the Concentration camps what a terrible thing it is to starve to death. Upon the liberation of the camps the first thing the soldiers wanted to do was feed them. 14,000 of those died from what became known as refeeding syndrome,many were so weak they couldn't digest what they were given. People in the settling of America had a starving time. It sure gives me pause to think about the possibility of that happening again,not so much for myself,I'm getting old and have lived a large portion of mine life without complete want but there have been times I went hungry so my children could eat,poverty is not pretty. I hope for you and Justine to have time to put some food up for hard times. I see them knocking. I know you'll don't want get too much into the sad facts of life but this video was a good though provoker. In studying our history we realize it wasn't pretty a lot of the time. The cemeteries prove that. Be well,stay strong.💞💞💞🇺🇸
Ben Franklin was a very intelligent person. He was like Albert Einstein before Einstein was even thought of.🤔
I have had some very awkward visuals of Benjamin Franklin in my head during this episode lol
Congratulations, Justine and Ron on getting ya'lls award for a million subs🎉 Looking forward to what yall have in store my friends. 👏👏🎉🎉🎊🎊🎆❤🤗
Early to bed early to rise makes a man healthy wealthy and wise somehow that slipped his mind when he was in Paris [ Hellfire Club]
Congratulations on you reaching one million 🎉
I wish my history teachers were like you two. 😅
You are so positive and optimistic sister. I don't think I could do something like that but if it gets bad I sure will!
Congratulations !!! This meal reminds me of rice porridge. Asian like me eat this kind of food. We sautee fresh ginger, onion , garlic, chicken meat...then pour on the boil rice til it cook. We also put chicken boulion for taste. This is like a soup with rice and it can make your stomach full. By the way.....we don't use pork, just chicken.
Neat! 粥 - Congee -- feeds billions
Rice was and still is grown in south east Texas around Houston, Beaumont, also in Louisiana for centuries.
Yep. There is even a Rice Festival in Bay City every year. Hello from the Texas coast.
Going back and watching all of your older videos...congrats on 1 million subscribers! And thanks for mentioning a bit about George Eastman. I grew up in the suburbs of Rochester, NY (still live about a half hour away) and the Eastman Kodak history is a major source of pride for us. If you're ever traveling through the Rochester area, I highly suggest visiting the George Eastman Museum. The history is fascinating!
Awww. We love y'all. I cried watching y'all open your 1 million subscriber button. God bless y'all. 😊
I love you two!! I live in NorthWest Missouri!!! Visiting your town is one of my things to do ASAP!!! Love your channels!!
Please do!
My 7th great grandmother was his step grandmother.
Yeah! 1 million! Good for you!
I’m from the Philly area. Here we know how super cool he was.
Fun episode! Thanks for all the surprising facts. Such a kind hearted prayer and I love the bright blue dress. ❤️

Gruel was also a food for the elderly, and was also given to sick individuals.
