Grocery Store Hack | Never Go Again

It's like 7:20. I'm just getting started. Hey, what if we got a whole bucket of duck feed? Maybe two with lids, and then we just left it out there. Have our feed and water out there. Okay, you want to be on that? Usually I feel bad for sleeping in. I try not to feel bad, but usually I feel bad. I'm gonna tell myself, don't feel bad today.

Don't feel bad, we have nothing to do.

That's a good point. I should tell myself that. I have so much left to do today because yesterday was such a big day butchering chickens. Hey, where y'all going? Hey, I'm down here. I'm good. We're butchering chickens, but we are also— we also end up butchering. Hey, Mr. Brown. Now that's some crazy hair.

Don't care, my hair's kind of crazy too since I did— since Mom was in her bathroom.

You're the original. How come your hair ain't crazy? I don't know, huh? How come I can't mess up your hair?

That's it.

Oh, the ducks! I don't know if you guys can see them from here, but they're out and about on the grass. You got an idea how we can get this feed out of the king feeder without spilling it everywhere.

You need something bigger than it, and the spilling it out is what the problem is. You could do it into Henny or the wheelbarrow. The wheelbarrow would be better, and then you just— you can dump it into a bucket, or, or you can scoop it out.

Yeah, I like that. What's that, duck feed? Okay. Yeah, that's a mess. Um, the documentarian asked me yesterday how we get the kids involved. Yeah, one way is we pay them for the— if they're working in the business. But also, I think it's to ask them for their input, let them help make decisions. Like, how— like, who cares how we end up emptying that king feeder? Let them weigh in on that, own that, so to speak. They can't catch you, Teddy. They can't get you. They can't get you. Oh, they can't get you, can they? Oh yeah, now they got you. All right guys, we gotta push them over and they have one more track before they go back to the OG. So yesterday It was an early morning, 5 AM, with butchering and editing. Didn't get to bed till 11 PM.

Popping the long winter. Amando got up at 3 AM and I didn't understand that, but now I do because I think you went to bed at 5.

Ah, and I haven't pulled those hours since the Great American Farm Tour. I want to do some morning. So if I do the math right, that's an 18-hour workday. Yeah, I can't feel bad about taking it easy today. Question of the day, question of the day: these black water lines that, you know, we attach water hoses to and we can pretty much get water anywhere into our pasture— people say, how are you going to keep them unfrozen in the winter? Well, Generally, these black lines thaw out by the afternoon and we fill up our water. They're going to just freeze in the winter, and we don't care because we're not really going to use them. We're going to deep bed our sheep so they won't be roaming around on pasture. Cows can roam back to the water sources near the hydrant, and we'll just have to worry about keeping that short line thawed out like we do every single year.

Uh, you forgot to put on your black cap.

Forgot to put on my— oh, thank you.

And it keeps emptying.

Thank you.

You only got 12 birds.

All right guys, doesn't it feel like a rest day or something? Yeah, so a few chores to 2 less chores. All right, let's pick up this old net and set it up for the sheep move. The ducks! How'd you guys fare last night? Scared? How'd they do? How'd they do, Rosie? They got their water nice and dirty like a duck. That's good. All right, I put some of their feet in here. I do think they're tall enough to reach over and get it. It's got to be at like chest height, and they're over that. Let's put some in their little feeders too, just in case. I'm gonna put some— a little bit of feed in their little trays. Boy, they're not eating that much right now, are they? Probably eating a lot of grass. This is so right. They're just out here putzing around, getting some water, enjoying the grass, the sunshine. We made a good decision. I mean, we moved them out, they were only a week old. They're bigger than a Cornish Cross at a week. They're wet hardier. It's supposed to— warm, it's dry, but they, uh, they seem to be doing just fine. And it's night when you would worry. It's night when they might get cold. Rosie's guarding them good. We're gonna store our feed right here just so we don't have to bring feed every time. That's what that's for. Darth helmet. Yeah, no good time, Aunt Flossie. Come on, come on, come on.

Good girl.

All right, awesome. Little hodgepodge breakfast this morning. The boys are kind of on their own. I'm just like, y'all cook whatever you want for breakfast, and that's kind of been working out. So they're gonna cook fries and bacon, mashed potatoes and green beans leftover for Beck. So boys, yeah, should we do a Burn It Up Cooking Show with you guys the host? French fries?

It's not gonna be nearly as exciting.

Let's give it a try. So on today's episode of Burn It Up Cooking Show French fries. You can help them with special hosts Jonah and Josiah. Now that you've peeled them, you totally destroyed them, peeled off the skins, you soaked them. What's the soaking for?

Um, to make them not brown.

Okay, has that been working? All right, now you're gonna shred them. I'm glad you're using a A cut-free knife. This isn't the Cut It Up cooking show. Okay, you getting ready to start some high heat?

Yeah, the oil's missing.

Oh, it's pro— it's pro— now the drama begins. It should be up there. There it is, bro. All right, that's avocado oil. Yeah, just— you can just put it in there. And then what do you put it on for heat?

8?

5. 5. Okay, good. Nice. How's the fry business going?

Pretty good.

Jonah's on it now.

Just— I was going to hop back on. I just wanted to do one.

Man, you guys are expert fry makers. Those look absolutely amazing. I like how thin you make them. Oh, he's got in the fry. How high is that? How high is that heat?

It's like really hot.

200.

It's gonna get to 400.

275. It was 420 before you put it in there, wasn't it? That's high heat all the time. That's what I'm talking about. Vent, vent action. Good job. Now how long you gonna do that for?

6 minutes and then they'll be about ready.

How are they?

They look really good.

Done? Yeah.

Just perfect for you?

Would you like them a little more? A little less, or they're just right?

I think they're just right.

Good job, guys.

It's too late to get them fresh.

Batch number 2. Where's your first batch? Oh, right here. Here, see, you guys try one.

Okay, we've been eating them away so fast.

Josiah quickly volunteers. Good. Nice. Wow, good job. I don't know if you viewers can see this, but But it is smoky in here.

You burned it up.

You burned it up. The pan is still smoking. Oh, you still have it on, guys. You gotta turn it off. Yeah, look at the haze. I can't see it. Oh my gosh, such a proud papa right now. They really burned it up. If you don't believe it, come see it. Look at that bacon.

We burnt it.

Burnt to a crisp. It's still good. That's what counts.

Let's see how this is. Those are burnt. They're too thin.

The fries didn't— or the chips didn't work out too good. Rebecca just hit the order button. You're serious about not going to the grocery store, especially if the grocery store can come to us. Is that true? It says like Amazon, Whole Foods.

It says that it's going to deliver to us.

You just ordered all kinds of stuff.

I feel like it's a big fat joke. And I feel like they're gonna be like, they're gonna bring it and then they're gonna, they will bring it probably one time and then they're gonna be like, and we can never do this again.

They're supposed to come from 3 to 5.

Says from 3 to 5. I like, I'm like waiting. I'm gonna wait for the text that says just kidding.

After calculating the distance, it's 35 minutes. Good.

It's a good 35. I hope it's And they're gonna do it for free supposedly.

All right. Here's to crossing our fingers.

If they would just pull it and I could just drive to the store and they put it in my car, I would be okay with that too.

No, man. Let's get it.

I mean, I prefer this.

Really?

But I would also prefer like them, because if I don't go into the store, then I don't see things that I don't need and then I don't buy them.

Look, it's raining. Hey, do we have boots and Everything picked up. Go shoot the tractors out. Rebecca, I think Whole Foods is here. It happened! It happened! Like 35 minutes from town. We ain't never gonna leave. It happened, Mom.

I know.

So what in the world— tell the people what in the world do we got to use the grocery store for? Like, this is like a once a month haul. Yeah, we grow most of our own groceries once a month at this point.

Like I can't even believe it.

I'm like in disbelief. What is it though? Like, give people an idea. I mean, don't have to break it all down, but just—

I got mainly fruit.

I'm having—

we're having some family come in for a visit, and so I thought it might be nice for them to have some bananas and apples, and we got a watermelon to eat.

Okay.

I bought just some bacon because we're running out of bacon to try. We're gonna try two different things. I needed a yogurt starter because we ate all the yogurt instead of making more.

Did you buy potatoes?

I didn't buy anything.

We have mature potatoes downstairs.

They're not good french fry potatoes.

Oh, they're not good french fry potatoes. Whoops.

I'm trying to think of what else. I bought just some like things that we needed that we can't— we're not growing.

Mm-hmm.

It was mainly fruit though. Okay, just because we have people coming and I want them to feel comfortable.

All right, good. The people are coming. Some of you guys know Aunt Ann. I don't know if you've met Cousin Lauren. She— I think you saw her briefly on the Great America Farm Tour. Yeah, uh, when we were in Denver. But anyway, that's— it's gonna be a fun week with Aunt Ann and Cousin Lauren and her children, and no chores to do. Bunch of fun coming on. What do you mean? It's like he feel— you feel liberated. We just got rid of the— yeah, the turkeys and the sea monsters and you There's no chores.

Yeah, there isn't.

Even though we're moving cows, we're moving sheep, we're feeding ducks, we're feeding pigs, but it feels great. It feels like nothing.
