She sent you an easy one. Super easy flourless chocolate cake. Sweetened with honey.
Honey?
Sweetened with honey. It's by Miss Lizzy. Okay. 1 stick of butter. Do we have a stick of butter?
Yes, we have a stick of butter.
4 ounces of baker's chocolate. Mom's gonna have to tell me where that is. 3 eggs. 1/2 cup of honey. You need to get the 1/2 cup, Max. Butter. Okay, you guys would probably rather see them. Okay. All right, here we go. You think you guys got it? I think we've got everything. You got vanilla there. Okay, whipped cream. Mom said she'll have to help you make that. Okay. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. 375 degrees. Butter an 8-inch spring foam pan or 6 muffin tins. So you gotta find Mom's 6 muffin tins.
I know where it is.
All right, so we gotta make a double boiler. Okay, yeah, this isn't gonna work because if this I think it's gonna get too hot. There you go. Alright, put your chocolate bar. Is that gonna sit?
It'll sit when that chocolate bar gets in there.
Whoa!
Get one of these to hold it so you don't get burnt.
I think you got it, bro. It's not melted. Let's not burn it. Oh, is there a chunk?
One little chunk.
Well, then stir that a little bit more right over here. Back to the instructions. Preheat oven. Done. Butter this spring foam pan. I don't know what that is. Jonah, critical point right here. The stuff's hot. I don't want it to start solidifying again. Well, hold on, we're gonna make sure that's alright.
Hi, you've reached Rebecca Rose's dog.
6 minutes and 10 using a double boiler. Add your honey.
Honey?
Okay. How much honey? Stir it in. Full of this? Half a cup, that's what it says.
Half of this or full?
All that.
Oh my goodness.
That's just sweetening it more than enough.
Oh yeah, that's more than enough.
Now whisk Whisk that in. Okay. Okay, and then you add the eggs, and I'm sure you whisk them in. I've got to hustle. Irene's coming over to work on our fence pack. Well, I've got to get that set up for her. I wish it was just as simple as just running out and doing it. There's always something else to do first.
Come here.
Why is this so hard to pull? Is this wheel nut— oh snap, that's why! What in the world? It's dragging right there because that tire is flat. Off the rim. I wonder if this is a tube. If this is a tube— okay, it's a tube. Maybe we can pump that up. Strawberries doing good. We got me some ear muffins real quick. I see them there on the top. We need 2 or 3 T-posts. And there's something else. Flax. So we're gonna need Henry. There's the flax. We're winning right this moment. You got your earmuffins? Okay. Guess we had a chicken die last night. Can you get that cooking up top on the stove?
Sure.
Thanks. Oh, thank you. Oh, you know what we forgot to say? The wheel measurer. Jonah's calling me. He doesn't know walkie-talkie etiquette though. Jonah, Jonah, you wait till you get their attention. What'd you say? You got to get my attention first.
How many food scraps? How much food scraps did I put in this bucket?
Put the, uh, There's 2 buckets there. The one that's a cooking pot, put all that in the food scrap bucket and put it in your cool room.
Got it.
So we need to extend our lane from right here to down there where the calves are. How much time do we have? 15 minutes.
He's calling.
Jonah, you got to say Papa Papa until I get— you get a hold of me.
Papa Papa.
Yes, here I am.
Can I bring, um, the cows in?
Yeah, now's a good time. They're right there, ready. And we're going to be able to move our sheep We're not gonna have to get the trailer anymore, really, anywhere on the farm. We'll move our sheep even when they're over there across the road. Jonah, we're gonna move them through a lane across this field, down through here, straight into the next paddock. You'll be able to move the sheep anywhere on this farm without a trailer. Okay, so I got my— look how I had a wide corner here. Look how I made a wide corner. That's where the lane goes in for them to go home, 10-foot wide. And then it comes here and it makes a turn, so I cut across. So look how big and roomy. You'd be able to turn around, Sally, in here if you needed to. You can make a turn with a— the tractor. Now what we need to do for a roon is go ahead and go all the way to where we want this fence to end up and put our flags in. So we draw a line from here to the end. And then we put a flag every 20 feet. It's easy, Josiah. Look at our lane across the field. Isn't that exciting? Can you viewers see the flags? See the flags, the orange flags going all the way across? 8:20. We have this post to there we need to do. That won't take no time at all. We just do our line, measure every 20 feet, put a flag. Look at those two guys getting it done. I might be faster, but they want to do it and, uh, they're learning. Moose! We have 5, 6 7 animals in here. Only need one. I only need this guy. So can we rope— can we catch him and rope halter him? Hey, hey! Well, that was easy. Now I just need to turn off the fence. Hey guys, will you turn off the sheep fence? So the way you do this is this always has to be on the right. You didn't do it wrong, actually. Grab the camera. Wait, let's take him over here. You want to get from behind? There you go. Can I do this? I don't know, can you? Yeah, such an English teacher right there. He said, can I do this? He should have said, may I do this? So you're wanting to pull and you're going to have me push?
Yeah.
Okay, here. I'm out here in my town sweater. Hey, I got it, I got it. All right, ready? Jonah's gonna— it's a move day.
All the way full bucket of water.
It's a move day, so Jonah's gonna move them. Okay, you ready? All right, come on. Uh-oh, we gotta hold him close. Look at him, he's doing good. Hey, by the way, my two T-posts in this is working. I caught Stun Nuff scratching on it yesterday. He scratched on this instead of the mineral straw, instead of flipping that. Uh-oh, somebody spilled our RC Gold. That's expensive. A good boy. That was smooth, smooth as far as hamburger is concerned. You got to be careful, can't get the stuff on the bottom. Let's get it out of the way. You did so good. You did so good. Give him a reward. Here, put it down there.
Hamburger.
There you go, buddy. Thank you. You don't have to tie him with his rope halter once you get here, guys. You can tie him with his leash. Do you like that better? I'm about to milk and I realized I brought my funnel down here. While I'm at it, I can See if I can get some other niños out here to go with me. Mr. Brown, you want to go with?
Yeah.
Cool, let's go. It's past 8. Did you take Teddy?
Yes.
You took him out to pee?
Yeah.
Did he pee?
Yeah.
Look at him, looks like he's ready to go again. You'll go if I get you an apple?
Yeah.
Okay, big as your head apple. Can you eat that? Let me see.
Put it on my head.
It's huge. Huh?
Is it really?
It's not. It's just an exaggeration.
Is it a joke?
Yes, it's a joke. Rotten spot?
I don't care about rotten spots.
No, because it's big enough. Who cares? Cheese and apple. Leash is supposed to be right there. Oh, there it is. Okay, got your leash. Get in.
Papa, you forgot this.
What? Oh, just take the sticker off, honey. You can do that yourself. Come on, get your shoes on. Let's take— come on. Hey, you want to go see the cows? You want to go milk the cows with us? Now we can milk. We got some companions shoving it in. Okay, put your shoes on.
Let's go.
Really? Come on, you can do it. You can do it. Come on, I'm gonna show you how you can do it. You know what, that's what I'm gonna do. Come on, I'm gonna help you. Come on. You're gonna stand right here. I'm gonna coach you. Let's go. Put them down on the ground, both shoes, then go get it and meet me down there. Okay, needs his coat. All right, come on, Teddy. He's a good sport, Teddy. I'm sorry, Teddy, but these cows hate you. Their genetics think you're a big bad wolf. So I'm gonna tie you up over here. Okay, you already finished your alfalfa? That's what I was afraid of. We have already cleaned her. We are ready to go. Cue up Pat Flynn's Smart Passive Income and let's do this. There you are. What took so long?
Hi, Zeus.
Can you be buddies with, uh, Teddy or come help me milk? After you eat that, okay.
Does a cow eat apples?
Does a cow eat an apple? They do, but Flossie doesn't.
Okay.
Thank you for offering it to her though. If you want a spare one, you could try. I'm gonna try to give her an apple. I think she's into it. Right there, I gave it. Look. I've never known her to eat one. I've tried before. No shortage this morning. Hey, you didn't sneak in and milk her last night, did you? No escaping last night. Strong 2 gallons. Teddy, you not into this? Get in, come on, come on, Ben. This is your dog. Yes, Papa. Thank you, thank you.
Can we put my bike in the garage then?
Yeah, when we come back to Mama. He is ready to go in. Boy, he's an indoor dog, I'll tell you that much. Snap, I have too much milk in this. How's it going, Beck? You want to help me? I got this full. Yes, this is a good problem to have. It's so full. It's a ladle at a cost.
That's probably worth about— that one's probably about—
Definitely the most fun part of the milking. I'll show you. Okay, so our drying towels. You know what? I need to put this in the living room.
I can do potato pie.
All right, I like that attitude. Thank you. That's fine. We can do that after that. Get our gray towels out. Let's be smart about this. We'll take a jug. We'll take a container of ice packs. Our towels. Thing for milk. No milk in it. Everything we need. One trip. Jugs out.
Dry them off.
Get the ice packs out and dry them off. You know what? I bet we can go another day. Only every other day do we need to do ice packs. And we'll put our milks in. Remember, didn't get much milk yesterday because calves had gotten out.
What's going on?
He's got another dryer ball.
Hey, buddy.
Not being a good boy right now?
No.
All right, now you guys fold, fold towels. Gideon, Lily, fold the clothes. You guys see if you can have it done by the time I'm done with Phyllis. Okay, the race is on. Gideon, I'm back! Lily almost got it done. At least it's folded. Did he pee?
No.
Okay, I'll go out of your way. Come on. Uh-oh, did you not do your chickens yet?
I did.
Lily, it's 10 o'clock.
Oh, I might have not.
You gotta let them out. Okay, will you go let them out please, Josiah, while I load Sally scraps? Oh, these are minerals. Chicken, there it sits still. All right, we have a dead chicken. Hey, that— it would have been better if we cooked them, they'd be more efficient, but they'll eat them like that. Her. I'm thinking because we have that chicken, we don't need to do skim. I thought Johnny took the cows out. Oh my gosh, okay, we gotta get the cows out. Thank you for getting Phyllis. You get Flossy too. You get Flossy, I'll wash up the stanchion. Pretty sure I'm gonna be needed because I don't know how Jonas set it up. We got to get them all the way across just out of that new pasture. Let's go. You want to pull up the rear just out, get the front? Phyllis has overshot it. Okay, looks like Jonah does have our lane up across the road. Here they come. Look, they know. That's crazy. Fence posts look good, Aaron. Thanks. Nice. I'm finished. Okay, do the, uh, insulators if you don't mind. Okay. Looks good. Fresh grass. They walked right over this hay to the grass. That makes me happy. We got a chicken and food scraps, a feed pan. I think that's all we need. Look how y'all are clearing in there, that's great. Here, I'm gonna put this in the woods so you don't knock it in the fence. Oh yeah, beat them to it. Their tail job coming along nicely, getting those seeds, those grass seeds to come up. That was easy today. And what's going on with these? You're still working on it? You got 2 folded, 3. Now that I put a cape on you, are you into it? Okay, now I've got to figure out breakfast. Fried eggs, kale, and beans.
We got no chores but to move the luchadors.
Hey, get back over there folding, buddy. Come on, hurry before breakfast. No, because there'll be more clothes and something to fold tomorrow. Lily's gonna make a smoothie. Fried some eggs. Lily's wrapping up the smoothies. Boy, you did that right.
I'm excited about it.
Salsa. That's our cultured cream. And that's an old school phone line, landline. We are in the country with no cell phone reception.
Yes!
So this is what it's taking, a lesson, huh?
Yep.
Now he's working hard. Yep, he's a hard-working boy. He just likes a companion, doesn't he? Kind of like us.
Just needed a little bit of motivation.
His cape turned into a bib.
That's right.
Let's see it get in.
Ready to eat?
You ready for eating? You going back?
I'm gonna go.
What are you saying about him? Are you giving him more attention than you give me?
No, he just— he just follows me around. He misses me.
He's got a favorite.
He does. I'm definitely his favorite. Yes.
Why don't you take him with you in your purse?
I probably shouldn't.
All right, I'm going to the grocery store. Take good care of us.
I don't want to go. I just need to get a couple things.
All right.
But I saw that they had said don't, don't stockpile, just get what you need.
No, we haven't done stockpile.
Grocery shopping, so. But I need to get me some Yeast so I can make some—
Ooh.
Bagels.
Everything bagels. The necessary stuff.
I know, the necessary— No, I need to get other things. Like, we're out of a lot of fruit.
Okay.
And stuff like that.
I'm gonna go show you guys some love. Respond to member texts. Get on the member Facebook. And then edit the vlog for all of you guys. Wow, that took— Busy day, to be honest. Busy day. Just started editing, it's 3:15. Goodness, I'm usually done by now. He's calling his mom because—
We wanna cook some cookies.
They wanna cook cookies and they have an idea for ingredients. Sounds right to me, but are they gonna waste it?
We wanna make like a fun snack and we were wanting to know if these ingredients will work. They're cookies! Shh!
We can't hear.
Cocoa powder. —some eggs, milk, and some sweetener. Like honey! Um, let me send something to your father. You might want to add a couple more things, but I need to figure out what those are. Okay.
One of the greatest things we did for our business growth was hire someone to help us. Anna. She helps us a lot with the cooking and things going on inside. She's been gone. She's been gone and we've been feeling it, man. Well, I couldn't do what I do with the member area and all the YouTube content without her.
I made it easier. I moved the sheep and the cows this morning. I know, that's so easy.
I need to get on this. It's like 3:20.
All I have to do is move the luchadors.
I gave the two buckets of water so they'll be good. That's good. And here comes Mom, Jonah. You gonna help her with the groceries? I guess so. Bring it off over here. Add your vanilla, your eggs, and your cocoa powder and stir it in. Okay. Okay, you got it? Yeah. I'm gonna go help Mom. Did you have a good time?
I don't know if anybody has a good time grocery shopping.
What? Will this rise, Rebecca?
Like when it gets cooked? It should.
All right, we'll see how this turns out.
Think it'll work?
Groceries are away. It smells good. It looks good. What do you think, Mom? We're gonna have to test it with it, right? They raised a little bit. I made a bunch, bunch Instead of big ones, so maybe it will seem like they're gonna go further, huh? So no flower.
Here's a toothpick. Yeah, they look great. Wait. Good? Yep, perfect.
Good. That was a good assistant. Nobody even asked you and you went and got a toothpick. Coloring time. C-3PO, unicorn.
That's R2-D2. Horse.
Oh, sorry, yeah, sorry. Forgive me. Jonah just took Teddy out. Did he go?
Did he go pee?
Grandma and Big Daddy here. I'm going back to edit. It's 5:15. There's no way. There's no way. I'm way behind.
Let's get as much done as we can.
It's not quite ready yet.
You finished that book?
Yeah, I've read, uh, 950 between those two books. Good, because I'm ready to read this. I ran out of my books. It's kind of sad at the end. It is. Okay, well don't tell me, don't give it away. Okay, well what book you gonna read next of the two I gave you? Two others I gave you. I have to do it when she goes to sleep. She gets mad, huh? Jonah. Hey, well say it's better than watching TV. Well, see, she's not in charge. I mean, you see, there's no control because I'm over there doing You're reading them books. She likes you in this role. Hey Beth, you don't like, uh, Big Daddy reading?
Oh, he loves to read. It beats the news, right?
It does. He'd be watching the news if he wasn't reading.
No, it's very quiet in the house.
Small hodgepodge. Hodgepodge. Our barbecue chicken.
Move. Yeah, I made this. This is the meat from the stock yesterday.
Oh, that's pretty good. We've got baked beans, coleslaw.
That's fine.
Looks like our stroll of broccoli. And look, kids, look, Grandma, Grandma, Big Daddy, the kids made a dessert.
I know, I can't wait to taste it. Just stay right here, huh? You know who's a good grandma.
Well, I got some good bit done. Only 13 more minutes to go through. A good rule of thumb, however much raw footage you have, multiply it by 3. So 13 minutes takes 30, 40 minutes. Is this how it turned out? This is how you make some, uh, you didn't make whipped cream, you made, uh, cream cheese, cream cheese-ish, butter, cream cheese, and some.
And Jonah cut up strawberries.
You want one, Grandpa? Should I eat it? Let's see it, Jonah.
Come get it. You have to come and eat her.
And I want you to rate it with how many you would eat if Mom let you eat however many you could. 3. How many would you eat, Lily?
How many would you eat? I mean, how many would I eat? 10 billion.
Have you had yours yet, Grandma?
I had a taste right there.
It was delicious. One will be just fine. How many would you eat, Rebecca, if— I'd probably just eat one. You had a— oh, it's not that good, huh?
No, it's good. I'm an adult. That's the adult ratio.
No, if you, if you wouldn't get fat, if you wouldn't get full, and it wasn't like—
how much would you eat?
Yeah, no health implications. I could probably eat like 8. Okay, how many could you eat, Mr. Brown? All of them. Oh, Big Daddy, you a fan? Could we give these to non-health eaters? Oh yeah, they are good for people who like eat healthy and don't eat grains. This doesn't even have a flour in it of any kind.
I know, it's butter, cocoa powder, eggs.
I wouldn't feed this to conventional guests.
No, although they'd love it. I think it tastes like a chocolate torte. I mean, that's what it is, it's a torte made into cupcakes.
Can you tell it's healthy?
No, I think it tastes like a torte like that I would get at a pizza place. Okay, very tasty. Win.
