Bean broth is delicious. Sort of like pea soup broth. It has a very yhick consistency.

Thank you so much! It's such a joy to be participating in your Cozy Cottage Club reading club feature of Little House in the Big Woods. :)

When the pandemic started and it was hard to find food. I really thought about The Long Winter book. I can't imagine what they went through. I love seeing you make the pot roast. I love trying to make the food that they made and watching you make it makes it easier for me to make it.

The Little House cookbook is a great resource. I have used it many times. :)

The Long Winter was my favorite of the books, which is kind of odd because it's arguably the most depressing. But it's one of the ones I remember the most and I can't imagine this hot-weather Texas girl surviving that winter spending all day tying bundles of hay because they burn longer with knots. Loved the cute decor project! I could imagine doing rice for snow for a winter scene.

I LOVE the idea about using rice Dixie. I've used sugar and epsom salt before. I love The Long Winter because they never gave up and the community really worked together to survive.

It is my favourite one of all.

I love this place that you have made on the internet, Laura. It's a great escape from the world. Thank you for mentioning me. It really was sweet. I do love your clothes and homemade makes. My children and I look forward to your videos. I think Gracie loves story time because you are finally sitting down for her!

I love that you are watching with your family Lisa. Thank you! These are challenging times and if we can find beauty in the simple everyday I think we are better for it. Hugs!

Delightful video, Laura! I like how you explained those silly old Sleevils! "Cookie" makes our dogs come running too - every time! Thank you for sharing this story and crafts and food!

Aw good ole cookie! I adore both dogs and kids. They keep one humble. LOL

It's a cold rainy day here in East Texas and that pot roast would really hit the spot!

One of my favorites but what I didnt understand is how come almanzo didnt just sell his seed weat to mr.loftus for 1.25 and would not have to go that long way and take that risk

Thank you so very much for watching. As I understand it many of Laura's character's were compilations of several people. She used characters such as this to softly teach lessons. The character of Mr. Loftus shows that greed and selfishness will never help a community. She reinforces the lesson by contrasting Loftus with Cap Garland and Almanzo who did not take any money to deliver the wheat. They risked their lives for the good of community. This echoes the biblical teachings in John 15:13 There is no greater love than this-that a man should lay down his life for his friends.
