Best part of this video was watching Matt clean and season that large cast iron skillet. For those of us who haven't been doing it correctly, this free lesson was very beneficial!

I'm so glad that Matt showed how to clean ironware & season it properly. My friend Linda got a new iron skillet. She asked her facebook friends how to prepare that skillet for cooking. She called me up & asked me to come over & show her how. I love Linda but she's hard headed. I told her at least 10 times don't use soap on your iron skillet! She did. So I came over & gave her the drill again. She finally got it through her rock head lol 😆😂🤣. Now she just loves that skillet. She bought another one!

Thank you for this. It sure beats the news. :)

Thank you for sharing this with us. Our rural heritage should be celebrated! God Bless the humble, industrious, Christian families that formed this great nation.

God bless you, your family and all your viewers

Yeah, I find myself watching homestead shows and yours just to relax and unwind. Thank you

So deeply moving to witness family as my mother experienced it. Myself, I grew up in a military family, but Dad tried to give us these experiences by keeping us off base and in agricultural settings.

Love my old Wagner and Griswold skillets, I clean mine much the same way. Thanks for another beautiful video.

My Granny, Suzy Tudor was born and raised in Kentucky. She made milk gravy, and red eye gravy, but not chocolate. I think my Granny was holdin out on me! wink

Just love your videos. Never knew you could use cast iron pans on a glass top stove. Thought they’d get too hot and crack the stove top. I have a cast iron skillet that was given to my Grandma on the day my Mom was born in 1914. Going to have to learn how to season it as I’m sure it needs it and then start using it!

Now I know how to tend to my iron skillet. Thanks

Greetings from the North GA Appalachians! Love your celebration of this wonderful way of life. My kids go to the folk school camp over in Brasstown. Best wishes to you!

Back in 1966 as a bride I walked to the hardware store and bought a skillet like that. I've cleaned it the way you do all these years. It's my favorite kitchen utensil.

From where I live, On the Cumberland Plateau? I can see those far blue mountains from the western side. I think they’re beautiful too.

I totally agree, there is nothing stressful about these wonderful videos. The news today brings you down, this family and their videos brings life back. God bless you.

We grew up with my Mom playing the piano. We took lessons and played piano, too, and my sister and I were both band kids. We sang around the piano as a family. What a blessing to grow up with the sound of music in one's home! My sister can play guitar and banjo. I always wanted to play the violin/fiddle. I absolutely loved the waltz. What joy to hear these instruments. Thanks for sharing your lives with us! What a yummy supper!!!! Thanks for showing how you season your pan! I have one for cooking in and one that is only for making cornbread. We're having pintos and cornbread tonight!❤️🙏from SC, Jane😊

Thanks for sharing how you re-season your cast iron pan. I've always wondered how to put the oil back in to keep the pans seasoned... thanks! really enjoy your videos. fyi: I live in Hedgesville, West Virginia.

My mom and day come from Tennessee and watching you make that water gravy made me miss moms cooking. Wish I could live in North Carolina.

Wonderful video! I appreciate the time and effort. Loved the music, cooking, and gardening. You do live in Paradise!

Thankyou! I live in Hollywood California. But my grandmother was born to coal miners in Scranton PA . I've travelled to East Tennessee and West Virginia and the Blue Ridge mountains are beautiful.

I love chocolate gravy on biscuits and toast.Was really a treat for us on Saturday mornings when I was a kid.

Great video, as usual. I was curious about something. Wondering if you plan to do a video about - I don't know if you'd call it folklore or what, but stories or legends shared by your grandparents, etc. Good old ghost stories or bigfoot, etc. I think that kind of thing would be great listening if narrated by you with your smooth, calming voice.

That music ...... absolutely beautiful !!! The food ..... mouthwatering !!! Loved the video !!!

youre always cooking something amazing. makes it especially hard when I'm watching these videos from my office and haven't eaten all day.

We grew up on chocolate gravy every Sunday morning before church. Lol. Good times

I enjoy the music so much; it is really beautiful! It's so sweet how Matt went and sat across from you on the other side of the panel when you were working on that narrow (for grapes?) bed. And then how you take care of the cast iron, I always like to see how other people do those kinds of things. I use my cast iron not very often for one main reason because the task of cleaning it seems hard to me, but you all make it look easy, and the finish looks like satin. Also, my pan is warped and does not sit flat on the glass cooktop eye that we have so I don't think it cooks very well.

What a great vid! The special surprise for me was the chocolate gravey! I have never heard of that here in California, but it so makes sense. Super neat, my soninlaw and granddaughter would love this. I always enjoy what you film, you gardening, the music, cooking and your stream. Just a blessing, thank you. Karla in Cali.
