What I love about you cooking is that it really is how most of us cook. We’re not G.R. or J.O. We do with what we have and go basic a lot of times. Simple cooking gear and not a lot of extra faff. Thanks for all of what you do.😊👍

[@susanleadbetter8639]

Totally agree

[@suzannewilson1763]

I learned how to make egg omelette s watching u😊!. U should also, please, take us far walks when u have errands like grocery shopping. So we can see other things. The whole enchilada. Experience everything. Just saying from across the big pond here in Texas.

[@brianwinterbottom6987]

Bravo, cheers, and huzzah for your explanation of referring to Aslan as a person. That's the way it has been and always should be. A boat or ship that takes good care of you while you are taking care of her deserves nothing else. Treat her like an "inanimate object" and she'll quit on you when you need her most. That's from a career sailor. Welcome to the brethren CHG!

[@deloresrevier]

Ever thought of writing a CHG COOKBOOK? We can all learn from your recipes and style! Can’t wait for your new travels.

Great to see you Kevin! Nothing like comfort food in the winter. Looks delicious. 👍👍👍👊😎

Lovely and warming food in the winter good luck getting free fom the ice on the canal Kevin all for now

[@billcurnew6020]

Great answer on the me/I issue. Perhaps it's just me, but I found the most facinating part of that discussion was the fact that it was brought up at all! Carry on, and keep being you!

[@georgemanley8247]

I just had to smile when you said “Aslan has a soul,” I could not agree more. Now for going to get the ingredients for cottage pie, it has been too long since I had some 😎

[@annwagner5779]

I agree with you about Aslan having a soul! I’m glad you have such a good friend with you. And she has such a good friend with her.

[@acidreign8551]

It is quite like a shepherds pie i guess. Looks so good. Not a ton of difficult prep, pretty fast in execution, and good, simple, comfort food on a chilly day. No rules to it, throw in anything you like, lots of variations as you say. Perfect as all your cooking spots are. 11:30 am here in Vegas, i am going to rummage around the pantry and freezer's here shortly. I have potatoes, carrots, onions, no turkey burger or mince as you brit's call it, but i have some hamburger or beef mince i guess, no oxocubes, but i have some beef boullion in powder form, and it's only warmed up to 50F here today. I have similar weather and all the fixin's. Guess what i am conjuring for dinner tonight? Thanks for that inspiration Kevin!😀

[@pilpelet100]

Strictly speaking shepherds pie should be made with lamb and cottage pie with beef. But really who cares as long as you enjoy it and/or you don't have food intolerances or allergies to any of the ingredients!😃😃

Traveling and living in my 1961 Avion camper (the iron fireman) for 10 years, I can totally relate to the vessel that allows you to travel and protects you as having a soul.

Good to see another cooking episode. Thanks. Here in the Colonies we call it Shepherds pie. My mother always made it with a layer of ground (minced) beef, a layer of corn and topped with the mashed potatoes. Looking forward to more.

[@marjrose3640]

Thank you for showing us all how you make cottage pie. I am encouraged to try it myself now. You make it look so uncomplicated & delicious! Greetings from the USA!

[@msw00]

Great looking cottage pie, stay warm and hope you break free soon. Aslan is a sailor's wife and deserves all the respect and proper English that any faithful partner does, that from a shipbuilder, driver and nautical person for over 40 years. Have a great day.

[@conniemckenzie1136]

Winter warming food! Looks delicious Kevin. Hope it thaws for you soon and you can get under way. We’ve had quite a bit of snow here on Skye this winter. Talking of food we had a Burns three course luncheon here on Wednesday. Very tasty, with lots of craic and laughter. ❤

I so enjoy the cooking sessions. Steaming the carrots and boiling the potatoes using the same heat source is absolutely brilliant. Your potato masher is amazing - a true masher!! Also, your thoughts about Aslan as a living being is so beautiful and the idea of saying "Aslan and Me" sounds like fingernails on a chalkboard. Arrrgggg! Thrilled with this video - thank you!

Another fine episode. On your recommendation I bought my wife some Yorkshire tea. She likes it. Thanks for the suggestion.❤

[@mikeoswald8053]

Ummm Good! And I'm hungry. Some boats seem to develop a soul, If you've cruised 'em, had adventures aboard that are good or bad, but got through; while they kept you whole, then the boat develops a soul. Just touching the wheel or tiller you can feel it. Looking forward to season 9!

[@lesleycouch6557]

Your grammar is just fine. Seems like somebody is nitpicking for no other reason than nitpickings sake. And Asland is a star!!

[@john-wq8kf]

Yes nitpickers are usually grasping for something to make their world seem real.

[@Dan_FawnJohnson]

You did an excellent job of explaining how and why those of us that live or have boats talk about them as she and I. You are spot on when you said - when you live on a boat you realize that it has a personality and a soul - very well said.

[@CountryHouseGent]

Thank you Dan.

[@jamesreveal7641]

Kevin, I’m looking forward to season 9, one of the things I like best about the show is that you just ramble from time to time. I kind of feel like we are having a conversation. Cheers

[@davidsedlickas8222]

Superb filming and commentaries Kevin. I am very pleased to see and hear the good news that you're doing well. Frozen means no fuel boat I trust you have enough coal and gas to survive on !

[@surbitonflyer]

I think that cottage pie is also known as shepherds pie depending where one lives (in the UK) here in Argentina there is a version known as Pastel de Papa which translates to Potato Cake. The only significant difference it that it usually contains some green olives and some chopped hard boiled eggs.
