Hearted Youtube comments on Early American (@EarlyAmerican) channel.

  1. Gotta say, for a video that was made 200 years ago, the quality is awesome

  2. I don't know what confuses me more. The fact that Youtube thinks I would like to watch a video of a nice lady cooking 200 year old meals with no sound other than the dishes clinking around, or the fact that they are absolutely correct.

  3. Watching Justine going ham on that ice was the best part 😂

  4. This is the historic cooking asmr that I never knew I needed. Amazing and so relaxing.

  5. Ron feeding you oatmeal in the washtub is the height of luxury. 😂

  6. At the end I was expecting Ron to say something like, "That was so good we should have it every day" so Justine could go after him with a spoon.

  7. Back when I was a teen (mid-90's to early 2000s), I used to do my laundry almost like this. We're poor so we can't really afford a washing machine then. Although our water doesn't have to be fetched from a river and came straight from a faucet, I had to brush, scrub and beat the clothes (using a wooden flat bat, just smaller than the one that Justine used in the video) with my bare hands, rinse it and hang it on a clothes line to dry. So after washing baskets of dirty laundry, my hands and the back of my fingers are red and raw from all the scrubbing, and just touching the water makes it sting like hell. Then to save up on the electricity bill, my family used to use the same iron with hot coals inside, which are so heavy and can also burn your clothes if you put too much coals, so we have to be careful. Now in the 2020's, almost all common Filipinos (I'm from the Philippines, by the way) can now afford washing machines and modern flat irons, so doing laundry is a lot easier. Although there are still some very poor families who can't afford one and still do the old school way of washing clothes. I just thought I'd share, since I can mostly relate to how hard it is to do laundry this way. 😊 Kudos to Justine and Ron for all the hard work they are willing to do for this channel. I'm looking forward to more of your videos. Greetings from Manila, Philippines. 👋😊

  8. This may be one of my favorite videos of yours. The Storyline, The Crazy eyes Justine had when you're hitting the ice. Also the "training" lol. Keep up the awesome work.

  9. MAJORLY IMPORTANT ADVICE…as someone who comes from a family of many photographers and wedding photographers…don’t forget to keep your bouquet VERY LOW when entering the ceremony and for your formal photos. I mean uncomfortably low! It feels natural to put that bouquet high, but all your photos and video will have your face and a big bouquet under your chin if you don’t …and no photos of that STUNNING bodice!! Girl- that’s one awesome wedding dress. Best wishes to you both!!

  11. My daughter can't read, or send messages but wanted me (Dad) to send you a thank you for this one! My daughter is 13 now and named Jenny! Thanks and my best to you all!

  12. My Grandmother used to make a soup she called Poor man's Soup. The recipe was handed down from her mother and her mother before her. Potatoes, an onion, some milk for a broth and lots of pepper. If you have it, a bit of bacon for extra flavour. It was so good on cold winter days. 😋

  13. I believe those large blocks of ice were cut and harvested from frozen lakes in the winter. They were then stored underground through the summer until a purchase was made.

  16. Don't apologize for how you look. For being 199 years old, I'd say you're doing pretty good 😃

  17. I have been watching these for a couple years now I think. I’m having an anxiety attack and this is my go-to for panic attacks. It’s so grounding while I do my other coping skills. ❤

  18. Many years ago I got a degree in history and its focus was on politics, wars and the ruling classes of the day. However I was always more interested in the lifestyle, struggles and concerns of the average person. I cant thank you enough for your content, its really wonderful.

  19. I wanna see Ron make ice cream for Justine next time!

  20. You never think about people in the past just sitting and waiting impatiently for their partner to finish getting ready, but of course they did. That's really what struck me most—just this little banal moment that connects us all.

  21. Is there a better dessert than a home baked pie? I think not! 🥧😋
    793
  22. Bless her, she's doing ice cream again. She's going to have formidable upper arm strength if she keeps this up.
    787
  23. In an apocalypse, you and Ron would be just fine. You are a mistress of fire management and food prep! Love your channel! 💕

  24. More than just entertaining, this is quite useful training for if and when things go sideways. Justine's satisfied smile is icing on the cake.
    766
  25. As a soap and lotion maker, I love that you made this!! I love the cooking videos, but this was a great change up…and who doesn’t love kitty intermission? 💕

  26. Some say, she's still out there making ice cream😂

  27. I love watching your show. You both work so hard so we can see what the previous generations had to do to survive. Thank you for window of past.

  28. I told my 4 yr old that Justine had a new video and she said “ooo, let’s watch!” And she grabbed a blanket and we settled on the couch. Thank you so much for helping to spark a love of history and cooking in my little girl. She told daddy she wants him to build us a little cabin, too!

  29. FYI Straw is the result of harvesting grains used for bedding down animals; while hay is types of grass clover, timothy, alfalfa etc that is cut for fodder. I especially enjoyed this video as I do have and rope bed made of cherry wood that I got when I was 15 . I am now 77 years . My bed was converted by making side rails leaving the pegs in the head and foot board to show the age. I have had the opportunity to sleep on a straw mattress it is great. Enjoy and keep on with theses videos I patiently await ! Keen Ontario Canada.

  30. Very similar to my current skincare actually. All homemade and using a lot of oats - it's the best ingredient!
    552
  31. The image of you holding a gun and churning ice cream all while looking pissed has completely made my day! 😂
    545
  32. Ron is really blessed to have Justine in his life. I don't envision many women who would be this adventurous and kind hearted.
    536
  33. Who else is watching this at bedtime to wind down?!👋
    533
  34. Your channel is like a breathe of fresh air after a heavy day. ♥️🥘

  35. This is a base recipe for congee or jook! It is still eaten today with many, many variations! Using leftover rice is how one would start jook. It, like fried rice, was meant to stretch resources by using anything leftover a.k.a. food scraps. Simmering food scraps or tough parts like pork skin added to the jook. I've enjoyed your channel for a few years now. ❤

  36. Impressive that you melted chocolate over an open fire and it did not burn! I loved last summer’s ice cream video. I shared it a lot. This one is great too! You two are gems!

  37. Hope Ron doesn’t get those bottles mixed up! 😂

  38. I tried all this once; the coffee was to die for, but I was six hours late for work...

  39. I'm always so happy when I watch your cooking videos. The color pallet inside your cabin that looks like a Dutch painting, the small sounds of you working and the fireplace....I just so love the cozy relaxation. Thank you, Justine.

  40. A big shoutout to the cameraman for traveling back in time to 1820 to show us what things were like back then.

  41. Justine, have you considered writing a Early American Cook Book referencing these and, I'm sure, many other recipes from those publications and maybe collecting and researching "old family recipes" from across the country? I'm sure subscribers would assist in contributing (with acknowledgements, of course. ie: "Ma Frankworth's Chicken and Dumplings", from McWayne family, Franklin County, Tenn), with pictures of you preparing and displaying it. I'm also sure you'd be inundated though. You could make them like coffee table picture book, thus you could make several volumes (meats, pastries, soups/stews, dinner in a pot, the art of hearth cooking,... etc)

  42. It’s like a spend the night party with your best friend and they never go home!!! Marriage is wonderful!!
    441
  43. I hope one day i can find me a woman who will make me a fantastic meal for me as a way of saying thanks for getting her a new spoon.
    440
  44. In a world that moves at a million miles an hour your videos slow down the madness. For that I’m grateful
    439
  45. After watching your videos for a while I've been inspired to romanticize cooking meals at home. I've really noticed a difference in how much I enjoy cooking when I slow everything down and have intention through every step of bringing the meal together. Now cooking has become something I genuinely enjoy so thank you for the inspiration! ❤️
    438
  46. Of course cupcakes were originally baked in cups! I had never considered this before, but it makes perfect sense that this is how it was done before the manufacture of specialized baking pans. Thank you for bringing history to life!
    432
  47. There is just something so comforting about the sound of the fire crackling in the background as you cook. These videos sooth my soul.
    429
  48. The whole time you were preparing the beef pattys I kept thinking, “Please make gravy from the renderings!!” And then you did and my little Mississippi, Southern heart was so happy!! 🥰

  49. "no trees were harmed in the making of this video" That was a professional stunt tree.
