The Rhodes family spends a rainy morning cooking: Beck makes gluten-free bagels using the loopy-whisk method, Jonah invents a custom spice blend for homemade burgers. The parent shares they're 90% recovered from a shoulder dislocation with twice-weekly physical therapy and just finished a 15-day fast where beef was the only food they missed.

Hey, he is wide awake now. Did you finally wake up?
He's like, oh, I'm alive!
There's, there's things to see, boys. It's a rainy day. Let's catch up in the house, and then we got to get the piglet fence up. Piglets are— hey, they're like him, they're awake now and they're getting out. What you working on, Beck?
I'm making— I'm trying to make gluten-free bagels.
First time?
This is the first time, so it's loopy whisk.
Nice.
It says that it's easy. See, in the title, easy gluten-free bagels.
So we're gonna see relative to what? Fasting for 2 weeks.
The fact that I've never made bagels before, I'm like, okay.
Hey, it's coming out nice. Yeah. Heck yeah. Good news, next to last. Of He-Man's bones. How long has it been since we harvested He-Man? 3 weeks. It's taken me to do this broth. This is after frying?
No, this is after boiling.
That's molasses water. Molasses water, what they said. How they ever figured this out.
So then once this does it, then we're gonna put them on. I'll put back on the sheet.
I don't know if they will. It's a lot of work to bake. A little easier if it's not gluten-free. I think so.
Sesame seeds.
This is how it comes out. Was this before baking? Baking? Yeah, I'm gonna bake them. Yeah, you're gonna share those with the brothers, or they're just for you, you and you, you and Lily for your trip?
Um, I guess it depends upon—
I gotta document this. Jonah took initiative on the meat. He's made up a spice for the hamburgers. Maybe it'll taste— oh my gosh, he's taking some ownership. He wants a little more spice. In town for PT. This is just my new— this is just my new life. PT twice a week for my shoulder dislocation. It was weeks ago, or months is it now? But we're still only 90% this way, so we still got a long way to go. It's absolutely unbelievable. Austin, I got a couple clips off my phone for them. Roll it. Just slow and steady, getting used to the new normal. Down twice a week minimum. And we're back, and Lily's calling lunch. Jonah, how'd your burgers turn out? I don't know, we're about to taste it. They look delicious. That looks good. Is it better than normal? Yeah, definitely. Should we just do salt? No, I think— hey, why'd you put it right there, bro? Get it off the counter, bro. You just want to eat it. Let's see you eat it. Oh yeah, he's teasing me. I've been fasting 15 days. This is the only thing I miss at this point— beef. More on that fast in a special video when it's done. What'd you say about your breakfast? The spice is good, but maybe too much. Mom, are they okay?
Yeah, they're not— it's a little spicy, but it's not terrible.
We figured it out. Jonah did tables. I gave him— it was a teaspoon of everything. He did a tablespoon of everything. That's so much, Jonah. That's more than 4 eggs, isn't it? 3 eggs, dude. I think half of it, a tablespoon. It would be so tasty. You got to do it right next time. It would be so good. Not a tablespoon, a teaspoon. All right, well, it was edible. Hey, get off the Wi-Fi. We ran out of internet. Let's go. Come on, boys, help me before you gotta go. Let's start right here. All the tools, let's put them all back. Small project. Our Harvest Right just went— okay, what do we set it on? Just as about— just as I was about to get in a groove, really preserving some stuff. Thankfully, they're standing behind their product and they're fixing it, no charge, paying for the shipping too. Harvest Right sent us this shipping kit. If you're interested in a Harvest Right freeze dryer, you don't have to can and you don't have to store your food at room temperature. It's really cool. I'm really excited about it. Um, I'll leave a link in the description.
