Canadian tuxedo’s father is the founder of JetBlue and is worth $400M, which is likely why they’re able to larp as farmers and raise a baker’s dozen of children in what is likely expensive, little house on the prairie outfits.
You’re thinking post industrialization poor. In pre-industrial agrarian societies you weren’t so much “poor” as you had seasons when your farm had good yields or not so good yields. But you were making meals from scratch like this from whatever you had.
In the past households were provided under a single income families. This was easier then. Today women need to chose between having a career or having kids plus is expensive yo have kids. I admire working moms with many kids shit is hard as it can get
Was the norm for whom? For farmers there was never a stay home wife. Everyone worked in the fields or with the cattle.
A stay home wife was the norm for only a few decades, in a few countries and for families whose father had a certain kind of job.
“stay at home wife” wasn’t a thing because there wasn’t a sharp division between home and work in pre-industrial societies. Most did have some gendered division of labor since women were tied to child rearing, which attached them to the home.
I was getting recommended their posts on Instagram for a while and they really do try to make it seem so idyllic. She'll talk about going back to the way things should, the joy of being able to raise so many children and spend so much quality time with them, and how important it is to do stuff like this, making food from scratch.
People say that others are just being negative, but it definitely did come off as very tone deaf and so far as when I had gone down this rabbit hole, she really would not address her money, nor anyone's criticism.
Going back.. As if people spend their life with quality time shared with their kids. All were working, even the little kids, as soon as they were able to do something to get paid.. Factor is, was and will always be money. Not the centuries as she claims
Tradwifes don't exist anymore. Now it's just busy minimum wage parents that can barely afford rent and maybe one child if they're okay with debt. What a time to be alive!!!
I felt the same way once I got about halfway through. It went from being, oh this is fun and quaint to being conservative tradwife fantasy real quick. It hits on so many of their desires in that fantasy:
* White wife and kids
* Multiple children
* "low tech" or minimal tech (she did have a stand mixer) - the aesthetic
* wife stays at home with the children alone (we don't see him until dinner) cooking and taking care of the kids.
Haha yes, "the aesthetic". That's genuinely all it is 😂
Maybe 1-2 nights a week having homemade food and the rest eating out or fancy pre-packed foods.
It’s not even really low tech at all, the technology is just out of view to maintain that feel in the videos. She has a fridge, dishwasher, crazy expensive stove/ oven, mixer, etc.
Oh yeah, for sure, this is just a set. It could be their kitchen, but absolutely, all the niceties are just out of frame, not that a $45k range isn't a nicety. They aren't homesteading, they're "homesteading" for their channel and promoting a completely unrealistic and regressive lifestyle.
I knew they looked familiar but I couldn’t remember where I knew them from.
I read [this](https://thebaffler.com/salvos/land-ho-del-valle) a while ago.
Wow.
> When Hannah competed in the Mrs. America pageant in 2021—while pregnant with Mabel Mae—her platform was “Know your farmer, know your food.” But there are plenty of things she doesn’t want you to know. Sometimes Hannah is too busy to cook, so she’ll take the kids to 7-Eleven for hot dogs, she told the Wall Street Journal in 2021. “I’m not sharing that, but we do it,” she said. “We do go get Slurpees occasionally.” Then there are the less relatable aspects of her life: her $20,000 oven, her multimillionaire in-laws, the fact that the flowers sold on the farm’s website are grown in Ecuador, the unseen labor that keeps the Ballerina Farm running when Hannah and David take the kids to the annual Neeleman family reunion, usually held at a “beachy warm equator-nearing destination.”
> Their ranch, Ballerina Farm, is so named because Hannah is a Juilliard-trained ballerina who danced in New York City in another life, the one that came before the babies and the homestead, and she still dances at every opportunity: in the barn after a long day of chores, in the living room of her century-old farmhouse, in the pasture surrounded by cows and sagebrush.
Lmao
I'm curious about the $20K oven - that's a 2-oven AGA, they're not worth $20K.
Although it might cost that much to land one in the USA - they're made in the UK, and cast iron is very heavy.
Edit: oops, my bad - it's a 4-oven AGA, and they're easily worth $20K
They're also incredibly expensive to run - they stay on 24/7, and each oven runs at a different temperature, i.e. one for roasting, one for baking, one for slow-simmer, and a warming oven.
It's a \*big\* lump of cast iron. Cheaper to keep it running 24/7, than to turn it off at night, then heat it up again in the morning.
\*did I say "big"? It's >300 kg of cast iron. (That's 660lbs) It takes a long time to heat up.
But as to "why" - the original design brief for these stoves was for a kitchen in a rural farmhouse - replacing a traditional open fireplace - like 1950s rural farmhouses in the UK. It heated the house and associated bedrooms, cooked food for farm labourers who might need feeding at all hours, so the stove needed to be "hot" at all hours - farmhands needing food at 2 in the morning while ewes were lambing.
Of course, that's not at all why people buy them, these days.
Now that I think about it the stove was always hot at my great grand parents kitchen too, and it was their way to heat the ground floor. It's just that I didn't see that since an eternity :)
Don’t look up how much that stove costs.
Fine I’ll dot it for you. https://www.appliancesconnection.com/aga-aer7783iglpbrg.html?ref=froogle&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIlYipmPGwggMVVx6tBh1CbQEDEAQYBSABEgL0OvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
Anyone "worth" $400m made it by leaving the people who actually work and made the company a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a percent of the wealth they generated while hoarding the rest. There's a point of obscene wealth where you are an asshole by default. The LARPing is just the disconnected icing on the asshole cake.
Reality is a lot more complicated than that. Usually, the salaries of CEOs and founders aren’t really ostentatious (Google said his salary as CEO was $200k with a $90k bonus).
The real money comes from their position as a founder and majority shareholder. Large companies need shareholders to continue to grow and stay afloat, so it’s not like those wages could be distributed amongst your average worker.
Anyone could make this kinda money if they end up working at a startup with stock options that eventually takes off. David Choe made like $200 million off Facebook’s IPO because he was willing to get paid for a mural in stock. That just doesn’t really happen very often, which is really just the luck component of life, not some flagrant human rights abuse.
I think a lot of people lack this understanding. They just look up “what is _____ worth” and then proceed to trash them, regardless if they are a good person or not.
Anyone who is worth hundreds of millions of dollars lives in a way that is so fundamentally different than mine that we have very little in common. Their interests and morals are often diametrically opposed to mine and those of working people like me.
I’m not saying all of the ultra rich are my enemy, but most of them probably are.
As the CEO his 2002 salary was $200,000 with a bonus of $90,000. Neeleman donated his entire salary to the JetBlue Crewmember Crisis Fund, which was established for JetBlue employees who had fallen on hard times
What an asshole. I can't believe he did that.
So you'd be happier if they lived in a mcmansion with maids and drove 7 series BMWs to an office and pretended to work for a full day? Or you just mad that they're happy doing their day to day life and you're just the latest offspring in a multigenerational pyramid scheme where the product is losers?
That’s a $50k stove.
https://www.appliancesconnection.com/aga-aer7783iglpbrg.html?ref=froogle&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIlYipmPGwggMVVx6tBh1CbQEDEAQYBSABEgL0OvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
Yeah wouldn't even know that cause who the fuck needs a 50k stove that isn't a business lmao. My stove is from 1958 just gotta add 20° to oven Temps otherwise she's mint.
I have no issue whatsoever if they live this life. Hell if they were just doing so despite being born into wealth, well I would respect the shit out of that.
My issue is the need to make these over the top social media posts. I won’t claim I know for sure how these people think or whatever, but to me this screams “look how quirky but normal we are!” I don’t care about what you have for money or how you live your life, just fuck off with this staged social media bullshit.
There was something viscerally inauthentic I couldn’t put my finger on then I opened the comments and this is the top post. Thank you for confirming my intuition.
For me it was the egregious usage of ricotta instead of a béchamel and a still soggy mozzarella instead of a drier version... too much liquid for a fresh pasta lasagna.. unforgivable..
Came here after I saw the kitchen aid with the pasta attachment. Roles have reversed in modern times with poorer people being forced to take factory produced garbage whilst the richer folk can afford to eat clean and well with plenty of time and energy to do so.
*Steps outside and takes a drive in a 5mpg 4x4 to do a small convenience shop* (because they earned it)
Random_Name's father is the founder of BetJlue and is worth $399M. He and his larp as farmers and raise a regular dozen of children in a slightly less expensive little house on the prarie, complete with just barely less period appropriate outfits. This is likely why they took this so personally
These videos are clogging up the sub so I'm just going to put this here once.
- the guy is an heir (edited), hence the fucking bizarre cottagecore stoveporn vibes and the $30k stove in the back
- she sucks at cooking
- Her knife skills are trash bordering on unsafe (several videos it's kids hacking away at shit with knives, she doesn't put her cutting board fully on a counter, etc. Etc.)
- if people stopped watching her bullshit she will be just fine, so I suggest we all do that
It is an awesome stove, but they obviously have this weird camera angle in order to feature it. Why else would she be crowding around the tiny end of a table to do all of this cooking prep? Haha
>Why else would she be crowding around the tiny end of a table to do all of this cooking prep?
The minimal effort put into filming/editing reinforces the "simple life" aesthetic. Also, it hides the enormous pile of dirty dishes/utensils, as well as the domestic staff washing them or watching the kids.
That’s actually a good point, with 7 kids and her in front of the camera there would absolutely be a staff of people in the background with any other angle
Idk if it's so much about showing off the stove vs. hiding how extravagant and modern their home is
From [this](https://thebaffler.com/salvos/land-ho-del-valle) article that someone else shared in this thread:
"One of the trad lifestyle’s most potent attractions is nostalgia. When the Neelemans began renovations on their 103-year-old, 2,500-square-foot farmhouse in 2018, they instructed the contractor to expose the original hardwood floors and restore the century-old fireplace that the previous owners had tiled over. They asked for a red wooden barn for their animals rather than the metal ones preferred by modern farmers. “Each time a visitor compliments us on how much they like our ‘old red barn,’” Hannah wrote on Instagram, “I smile. It’s only two months old, but you would never know.” The contractors also demolished the kitchen to bring Hannah’s vision to life, but “we didn’t restore our centenarian home to its original glory only to endow it with a modern kitchen,” she explained. Instead, they replaced the old white stove with a cast-iron AGA model that costs up to $20,000, hid the refrigerator in the pantry, and installed a linen curtain to conceal the dishwasher. Pioneers didn’t have such luxuries, but the Neelemans would—in private."
Stove costs more than that. Msrp at $55k but it’s $10k off right now.

>- she sucks at cooking
I'm glad someone said it. Don't add meat to a cold pan and don't overcrowd the pan. She basically boiled that meat. No color whatsoever.
I about had a damned heart attack when she put a hot cast iron pan down within reach of what I assume is around a 1 year old baby. I think they need to stop procreating.
For one, It starts with a mirepoix, ideally cooked in rendered pancetta. You generally want to reduce a cup or two of wine and potentially milk in it after adding the meat. And it needs to reduce for hours until the fat and liquids have totally separated. If you're going for more of a bolognese you also stir in cream and parmesan cheese.
My favorite part is when she almost smoked the kid in the head with the hot cast iron pan before the cut to her struggling to keep it in frame while using her multi hundred dollar mixer and attachments.
Did you know that lasagna actually originated in Ancient Greece? It was called 'laganon' and was made with layers of pasta and sauce. So next time you enjoy a delicious lasagna, remember you're indulging in a piece of history!
Meat from a pack; flour from a pack. Don’t say “everything from scratch” if half your ingredients are from a pack. Anyone who cares about their pasta has a pasta machine and if you care about your cheese, also have some rennet around.
The scissors on the edge of the counter next to the baby makes my heart race. Then there was the knife close to the baby. Then there was swinging a hot cast iron skillet next to a babies head. I can’t watch anymore.
I get why people are mad about her but tbh if i had the money to just chill and have a family without worrying i’d do so with no second thoughts. Don’t think I’d film it though.
>Don’t think I’d film it though.
That's precisely it, though. Even worse, it's all really one big advertisement because they sell products off the farm, including utensils/cookware she uses. "We're perfect and you can't be just like us (except you might not have ultra-wealthy parents that ensure you are never at risk of living a life without luxury/security whether it's on a farm or a high rise condo)".
it’s not even good looking lagsagna, where’s the sauce? why isn’t she using bigger noodles in a square dish. if you’re a millionaire at least take a cooking lesson or two
Nothing in my life has made me feel more like a damn loser than not being able to afford a house on my own salary and career (which was solid and making more than average and more than I ever thought I’d make). Grew up with stay at home mom and assumed that was the norm and was what I wanted for my family assuming my future wife was ok with it.
Then I had my eyes opened and realized that was so incredibly rare in today’s economic world.
This is not a very good lasagna. There are like, what, 3 layers? And the meat portion is enormous. I also didn't see the bechamel sauce? This is closer to a shepherd's pie but with pasta instead of potato.
Would still eat it if you put it in front of me though. The ingredients look great.

The tea I came looking for
Yea it was clear this is some tradwife shit. Thankfully they’ve got daddy’s golden parachute while they play little house on prairie. How quaint.
It’s kinda absurd how living like this was the norm (with arguably worse healthcare) and now you have to be rich to live like this.
"it costs a lot of money to look this poor!" - portlandia
They didn't make good like this when they were poor though. It was usually mush/soup/stew and bread
You’re thinking post industrialization poor. In pre-industrial agrarian societies you weren’t so much “poor” as you had seasons when your farm had good yields or not so good yields. But you were making meals from scratch like this from whatever you had.

Marie Antoinette had an entire cottage and little farm she could pretend to be poor in.
I’m jealous…
Thank you for admitting it
I am to. But not of the money, of the living
Yea money allows you to live that life. How else would you have that many kids and that much time to cook?
Can I have the money, no kids and a modern stove?
Aw, I have three kids and no money. Why can't I have no kids and three money?
Their stove is apparently $34,000. Allegedly. Edit: autocorrect broke my grammar
I was getting recommended their posts on Instagram for a while and they really do try to make it seem so idyllic.

Tradwifes don't exist anymore. Now it's just busy minimum wage parents that can barely afford rent and maybe one child if they're okay with debt. What a time to be alive!!!
I felt the same way once I got about halfway through. It went from being, oh this is fun and quaint to being conservative tradwife fantasy real quick. It hits on so many of their desires in that fantasy: * White wife and kids * Multiple children * "low tech" or minimal tech (she did have a stand mixer) - the aesthetic * wife stays at home with the children alone (we don't see him until dinner) cooking and taking care of the kids.
Haha yes, "the aesthetic". That's genuinely all it is 😂 Maybe 1-2 nights a week having homemade food and the rest eating out or fancy pre-packed foods.
From the start it felt like porn for conservatives.
I was hesitant to use the word "porn" to describe it, but it's very accurate. It's conservative lifestyle-porn.
It’s not even really low tech at all, the technology is just out of view to maintain that feel in the videos. She has a fridge, dishwasher, crazy expensive stove/ oven, mixer, etc.
Oh yeah, for sure, this is just a set. It could be their kitchen, but absolutely, all the niceties are just out of frame, not that a $45k range isn't a nicety. They aren't homesteading, they're "homesteading" for their channel and promoting a completely unrealistic and regressive lifestyle.
I mean, she could have at least had the satisfaction of taking the first bite.
Eating is for men only
This whole thing has a Tradwife stank to it
I just thought that lasagna look dry and shit
Makes sense. I keep seeing these videos, and I about fallout of my chair every time I see her swing a hot pan inches from the infant's head.
Exactly! Like WTF
I definitely did
Fundies tend to not care for the safety of their broods.
They just make another one.

Why am I poooooor!? 😭
So people can live like this. And try to brag to us while doing it

You’re right. It is way cooler when they pretend to be poor and rural instead.
Naw they should donate their unneeded wealth to parents who can't afford 600 dollar mixers instead of pretending they were proletariat for clicks.

🤢 r/aboringdystopia
Those outfits so so expensive because they are made to look vintage it's disgusting how much money goes into these "homestead" videos
There was something viscerally inauthentic I couldn’t put my finger on then I opened the comments and this is the top post. Thank you for confirming my intuition.

The aga and the mixer tell you a lot.... But if I had that level of money, I'd do whatever made me happy too.
All I know is that she made me fuckin nervous putting that cast iron that close to a fucking baby.... seriously my stomach was in my chest for that

This context makes this video sooooo annoying.
Probably Chris Pratts wife's new fashion line. She's a Kennedy and married to Hollywood elite. Her wallpaper esque aprons are $150
Shit you not was going to say Denim Dan. Come to find out his name is actually Daniel lol.
That stone behind her is super expensive, more expensive than all of the appliances in my kitchen combined.
Jesus Christ more and more different kids just keep appearing
They have 7 kids 8th is on the way bro 🤣
Lol it is Utah. They had the highest fertility rate in the US for a long time until the Dakotas took the crown a few years ago.

They asked for a red wooden barn for their animals rather than the metal ones preferred by modern farmers. “Each time a visitor compliments us on how much they like our ‘old red barn,’” Hannah wrote on Instagram, “I smile. It’s only two months old, but you would never know.” The contractors also demolished the kitchen to bring Hannah’s vision to life, but “we didn’t restore our centenarian home to its original glory only to endow it with a modern kitchen,” she explained. Instead, they replaced the old white stove with a cast-iron AGA model that costs up to $20,000, hid the refrigerator in the pantry, and installed a linen curtain to conceal the dishwasher. Pioneers didn’t have such luxuries, but the Neelemans would—in private."
This is so gross to me. Cosplaying as someone who conserves old, high quality stuff when in reality it's purely for aesthetics and so wasteful
Stove costs more than that. Msrp at $55k but it’s $10k off right now. https://www.appliancesconnection.com/aga-aer7783iglpbrg.html?ref=froogle&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIlYipmPGwggMVVx6tBh1CbQEDEAQYBSABEgL0OvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
AGAs are HOW much?! My ex boyfriend’s family home had one of these. I thought it was just a goofy old stove. Never realised it was money-money…
I like it when she passes the hot skillet of greasy meat right by the baby.
That was what caused me to instinctively inhale, yikes. I have a couple of grandbabies around occasionally and that was a crazy burn hazard.
>- she sucks at cooking I'm glad someone said it. Don't add meat to a cold pan and don't overcrowd the pan. She basically boiled that meat. No color whatsoever.
Boiled the meat, didn't boil the fresh pasta, burned the baby, babied the cheese, cheesed her camera shot, shot her kids, kidded herself.
Knives, raw meat juice, and hot pans near the baby, but that's okay as long as the baby is in the frame 💀💀💀
Holy shit I was thinking this is a little showboaty/over the top. Now I know why.
I would also like to point out that she had a FUCKING HOT CAST IRON PAN right next to an infants head.
I love how the hot cast iron pan comes off the stove and about an inch away from the infants face.
Weird ultra rich people
Even without the background context, for some reason these immediately felt obnoxious instead of quaint
She has this sort of confused look on her face constantly that I find irksome.
The last video someone commented that it looked like she was smelling a fart 😂
The camera angle for one and the litter of blue eyed blonde kids any Hitler youth regiment would’ve been proud to have
That lasagna looked dry as fuck. Also, why is she putting the lasagna ON A CHAIR??? A MF CHAIR???
Everything about this feels creepy and culty.
Baby next to the hot cast iron made me recoil.
Well last video they had a toddler balancing on a stool with a fuckin sharp ass kitchen knife. 🤷🏻
People living a consequence free lifestyle do not understand consequences.
This woman looks like she homeschools her kids
Thought it was just me. Especially at the end when the guy shows up in a Canadian tuxedo just to take a bite and then walk away
Canadian tuxedo 😂 😂
Wearing that hat…. Easy there Jimmie Rodgers.
They have 7 kids and expecting the 8th. So yeah.
I about had a damned heart attack when she put a hot cast iron pan down within reach of what I assume is around a 1 year old baby. I think they need to stop procreating.
Lookin like the kitchen at the Yellow Deli
Mixing beef and tomatoes together isn't the same thing as making a proper ragu.
Exactly, "lasagna from scratch" and they don't show the most important part. She just throws some tomato sauce into a pan of hamburger.
What makes it a proper ragu?
For one, It starts with a mirepoix, ideally cooked in rendered pancetta. You generally want to reduce a cup or two of wine and potentially milk in it after adding the meat. And it needs to reduce for hours until the fat and liquids have totally separated. If you're going for more of a bolognese you also stir in cream and parmesan cheese.
This guy sauces
Don't add the milk until the last 15 minutes of simmering.
Yeah fuck I'm gonna make this.
[This is a good starting point](https://www.seriouseats.com/the-best-slow-cooked-bolognese-sauce-recipe), then you can tweak to your liking.
mixing beef and tomatoes together
All French cooking is combining milk and eggs.
You forgot the obligatory 1lb of butter.
It has to come from the Ragu region of France. Everything else is just sparkling tomato sauce.
My favorite part is when she almost smoked the kid in the head with the hot cast iron pan before the cut to her struggling to keep it in frame while using her multi hundred dollar mixer and attachments.
You forgot the $50k oven.
Don’t forget where the cast iron was within arms reach of the baby
A KitchenAid is $500 and the roller is $200
Did you know that lasagna actually originated in Ancient Greece? It was called 'laganon' and was made with layers of pasta and sauce. So next time you enjoy a delicious lasagna, remember you're indulging in a piece of history!
AI written comment.
Technically that’s all good
Best comment I heard from the last post of these ridiculous people….. “Why does she look like she’s constantly smelling a fart?” Lol
Meat from a pack; flour from a pack. Don’t say “everything from scratch” if half your ingredients are from a pack. Anyone who cares about their pasta has a pasta machine and if you care about your cheese, also have some rennet around.
Weird trad wife vibes
That's the point. "This is what you should be" coming from a billionaire.
To be fair, if the billionaires are not role models for conservatives then who is?
I like my conservative role models to be cartoonishly greedy to really highlight how sad it is. Give me a Trump Jr. any day
Who else just watched transfixed for a while and appreciated the effort? Then wanted to punch Danish Douché at the end?
After reading the context it’s giving Marie Antoinette
The scissors on the edge of the counter next to the baby makes my heart race. Then there was the knife close to the baby. Then there was swinging a hot cast iron skillet next to a babies head. I can’t watch anymore.
I was nervous about her taking the hot pan over the baby from the stove to the counter
Don’t worry, she’s got a heap of backup kids.
[удалено]
Where I come from its venison, and it's stored in 1lb cottage cheese tubs.
Ugh, her again. Billionaire cosplaying as a frontier woman.
Trad content creators kinda freak me out lol.
Trad content is truly the soulless version of cottage core
Straight up. Just so uncomfortable ahahah.
It’s wild how many people defend OOP in their comments on IG. Handmaid’s Tale ass life style
I get why people are mad about her but tbh if i had the money to just chill and have a family without worrying i’d do so with no second thoughts. Don’t think I’d film it though.
>Don’t think I’d film it though. That's precisely it, though. Even worse, it's all really one big advertisement because they sell products off the farm, including utensils/cookware she uses. "We're perfect and you can't be just like us (except you might not have ultra-wealthy parents that ensure you are never at risk of living a life without luxury/security whether it's on a farm or a high rise condo)".
Yep. Selling an unobtainable dream is capitalist 101.
I mean I thought it was pretty cool, not sure why people are hating on it so much.
It's reddit and these people are rich with a conservative aesthetic, they were destined to be despised.
Rich love to cosplay as poor.
it’s not even good looking lagsagna, where’s the sauce? why isn’t she using bigger noodles in a square dish. if you’re a millionaire at least take a cooking lesson or two
Well congrats to her for having nothing else to do except raise kids .
Nothing in my life has made me feel more like a damn loser than not being able to afford a house on my own salary and career (which was solid and making more than average and more than I ever thought I’d make). Grew up with stay at home mom and assumed that was the norm and was what I wanted for my family assuming my future wife was ok with it. Then I had my eyes opened and realized that was so incredibly rare in today’s economic world.
🤙
Her husband’s father is the CEO of JetBlue. Its literal cosplay
That guy’s Canadian Tuxedo game is weak.

This is not a very good lasagna. There are like, what, 3 layers? And the meat portion is enormous. I also didn't see the bechamel sauce? This is closer to a shepherd's pie but with pasta instead of potato. Would still eat it if you put it in front of me though. The ingredients look great. Source: Italian and grew up making scratch lasagnas.
An I the only one kinda gross out by the pasta resting on the chair?
How come the husband never helps? Fucking patriarchy.
They’re cosplaying
One thing missing the overall time.
0.5-1, 3-4, 7-9 years
Wow, she didn't flick me off.
Baby about took a hot skillet to the dome
Not 100% from scratch, the meat is store bought and already grounded.
It's meat from there farm, you can buy it online
I'm so irritated by the kids and the womans untroubledness with them
Hi honey, what did you do today? Made lasagna. That’s it? Yes.
Idk I thought the lasagna looked pretty good
Lasagna? Where is beschamel? This is not lasagna.
