Cooking,cleaning and taking care of your domaine.Your a wonderful person dear Kevin.❤😊

[@LoveMyCoffee10]

Hi Kevin, I iron my cloth napkins as well, I find it relaxing. I spray them with Rose Water giving the napkins a sweet scent.

[@karenlukas1222]

What a nice idea! I always iron my napkins as well, but rose water will take it up a notch! Thank you!

[@LoveMyCoffee10]

Yes, the fragrance is very light, not perfumy. I think it's a nice touch to any table. Thank you

[@lorieastside1]

what a great idea!

[@bostonchristian4442]

Thx you much and do you make your rose water? Thx you much for sharing!

[@kristannestone1748]

Even as your videos have evolved into polished mini-films, your warmth and humor and human touch still shine through. Thanks for the wonderful escapism, the kind one CAN accomplish at home!

[@Janice_1979_]

Hey Kevin in a stay at home mom and finally got a break now to watch you. I have 2 daughters doing school online and it’s busy. Watching you brightens my day. Love all your videos.

[@avagrego3195]

I also love the zen of ironing. Some people think it's nutty but I enjoy ironing and conversing with someone, watching a fav TV show, or just thinking.

[@brendalim5516]

I do that too. Ironing is so satisfying when u’re done with it.

[@user-mn1rb5hd3m]

When your new video appears on my screen I stop all my activities on line to watch you!!!! You are a very special, inspiring and inspired soul!!! You're so artistic, simple and careful with absolutely everything!!! My great encouragement and compliments to you and your delicious works in the kitchen, in your parlor, piano room, garden, market and all!!!! ❤💖💚

[@adriaschumann9641]

I happen to LOVE ironing and my girlfriends tease me about that. It is solving a wrinkled world on one side and all neatly ironed on the other. If only the world were that easy to settle! Silver is another thing. I do it, but it is a chore. But I promised Nana I would keep her silver tea set all clean and beautiful at all times, so yes, I do it! Good to know I have an ironing pal!

[@kathleenpalmer845]

Lovely video - SOOOOOOOoooooo relaxing. Thank you for including Avery - it really gives me a boost to see her.

[@marilyncomer9245]

I agree Kevin, I've always loved cleaning silver. Since I was about 12 when my mother on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving asked me to polish all the silver. So self-rewarding & good for the soul. I have such good memories of all the great talks with my mother in the kitchen! I learned so much about life from her...not to mention how to make and roll out pastry for pie & galettes, even pasta -- without using a machine -- simply cutting with a sharp knife. Hers were always perfect and so evenly cut, mine not nearly so! Love you, Kevin.

[@gloriakourounis6976]

Although I had a most loving, kind and generous mother I never learned the things your Mom taught you. And besides we didn’t have silver. However, she was great in-the kitchen cooking our favorite foods and always had a variety of aperitifs for our guests who came by often for her specialties. She was also a fabulous decorator !

[@cathynuytten798]

I love how you let your pup look into your shopping bag. My fur baby does the same. She gets so excited !

[@lizethgomeze1]

Another wonderful episode! Thank you for bringing us on the trips! Fall is my favorite season of the year! 🍂🍁

[@rosemariemello6675]

I love how your dog greets you, they really are our best friend ❤

[@dmmuldowney]

I was having a not so great day when I poppped up on my KZbin feed... YIPPEE! I use your videos for therapy, to calm my anger and anxiety. Oh, the recipes are great too, and if I ever get a real kitchen, I will be making many of them. THANK YOU for always being the calm to my storms! And THANK YOU Mr. Fox for being the wonderful partner to Kevin. ❤💯

[@bosvigos9165]

As a child, in the sixties, growing up on a farm in the Dorset countryside, in the UK. Where My mother was a housekeeper. One of the many chores I had, to earn pocket money, was to clean the brass, copper and silver. Every 10-12 weeks. There was a12 seater refectory table in the breakfast room, that would be absolutely full! I thoroughly enjoyed it, it was my domain, my ‘special’ task, everything gathered together, for the polishing and buffing. I did that from the age of 9 until 14 years old, when we moved. You have brought back many memories today! Thank you Kevin. 💚☘️🇮🇪

[@Diane18]

Hi Kevin! You are so inspiring! Soon I can finally retire and will enjoy taking care of my home, taking care of my plants and garden and cooking, baking, knitting and reading and relearning to play my violin which I have not done in years. Thank you for this channel!

[@rochellepizza5802]

I couldn’t have been happier than to find your KZbin Channel. I thought that I was the only person left that appreciated all of the topics that you discuss. IMO! There is an art to Hosting a proper Dinner Party & You Sir are an Artist. Thank you for brightening my day.

[@marycad1160]

This actually looks like an easy recipe to try. By the way, your dog Avery is so very sweet. It shows in her face.

[@carolechamberlain1766]

It makes my heart happy to see you not eating alone. How did you and Lizeth meet? You make a great team. I can't wait to make the Stuffed Squash! I do hope we get you see plant the seeds from your beautiful squash.

[@TheGlamorousLifeofNae]

You are so lovely & elegant!!! 💖 I truly do enjoy watching your videos. 🥰

[@lilialessandra4963]

Hello Kevin, even when it is a recipe I have already done I always learn new tips with you 😊

[@heatherathome545]

So nice to get a glimpse of Mr. Fox! He must have loved coming home to your smiling face and that delicious soup. Thank you for sharing your day!

[@dragonrising11]

You've turned ironing napkins into a Zen mindfulness exercise!! 😉😉😉❤

[@mrsramales]

I love how encouraging you are! Showing how can also do it. And the mental attitude to tackle cleaning . Your coffee and te service is gorgeous!! The stuffed acorn delicious! Your garden and the trip to the market. I could only imagine waking up to your beautiful gardens!! Thank you Kevin, love all your videos!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@sagisli]

Hi Kevin: I've been very busy today and still have lots to do but I gave myself permission to take a break and join you for a cup of tea.

[@barbarahoman1008]

Great video, you are a wonderful and calming person. God Bless You,Mr. Fox,Avery and Lizeth. Everything about your videos gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling❤️🙏🍁❤️

[@RockyValentino2013]

Love your videos Kevin. So inclusive and I feel so part of it. Best wishes from the UK

[@s.barlow7062]

Thank you for taking us a long line your rainy drive to the farm market. I love those days and heat to sit at home.

[@rubyslippers9611]

Here, down in the South we don't eat much acorn squash. I'm looking forward to having some soon. Please tell Lizette she has a lovely arm 😊

[@maryreddell6529]

Helloooo Kevin. You bring quiet joy to me. Thank you!

[@julianasm6443]

Hola Querido Kevin, tu eres un rayo de Sol que ilumina este primer día de Primavera en el Hemisferio Sur, delicioso,tu comida y cada detalle, eres un MAESTRO de lo exquisito!!!🙌💝🙌💝🌞🏵️🌷💮🌸🌹🌼🍂💐💕

[@kjmav10135]

I love polishing the silver. I inherited my pieces from my grandmother in 1973. When I was a little girl, I would sit next to her while she was rubbing off the tarnish. She would lean over to me as the tarnish disappeared and whisper in my ear “Magic!” To this day, fifty years later, when I polish her silver to a beautiful gleam, I can still hear her whisper in my heart, “Magic!” ❤

[@okiejammer2736]

⚘ Love it when you've uploaded another video. I grab a cuppa warm and join you in your beautiful home there with Mr. Fox. SO. Lovely.

[@avagrego3195]

Hi Kevin. I love any type of squash but squash con be expensive per pound in my area. This week small pumpkins, not the tiny ones, were reasonably priced so I bought 6 to decorate my porch for halloween and I will bring indoors and eat during the winter. I will try this recipe with them.

[@CSULeslie]

There are few things more satisfying than polishing silver until it gleams. I love your videos, especially the trips to Berry Farm and the visits to your glorious gardens. Thanks KLJ for sharing all your recipes and talents with us. You brighten our days.

[@EmmeChatterton]

Such a perfect autumnal vlog! Your videos always make me so happy because your voice and demeanor remind me so much of my late father (coincidentally also a Kevin!), it's always a joy to see you enjoying life. :)

[@bostonchristian4442]

@EmmeChatterton such kind words 🤎🤎🤎🍁🍁🍁

[@susieq2022]

Watching your videos is such a treat to me. I can almost taste that lovely squash. Your silver looks sparkling and spectacular after you cleaned it. As always, thanks for sharing.

[@bradlafferty]

Elegant. Your musical selections were beautifully synchronized with the videography. Thanks for a brief respite from a long day!

[@karenmar1529]

Your videos are always therapeutic to me. What a wonderful meal served so elegantly. It looked delicious.

[@SlimshadyVictoria]

LOVE stuffed squash! I made this, with the green acorn squash, just yesterday. It was wonderful. I,ll try the carnival squash the next time as I love the size for stuffing! Wonderful video as usual Kevin, Thank you.❤❤

[@teresahalliday3680]

I agree with you...I love ironing napkins and polishing silver. It's instant gratification!! Your squash dish looks delicious!

[@hollydewbean3248]

Kevin, I just ordered your cook book. I cant wait to get it!!!! 🎉❤

[@donnaclinton5578]

I'll have to remember to use an ice cream scoop for squash. I admire your patience with cleaning silverware. I remember helping my grandmother with her cutlery when I was younger. That's when I decided a nice looking set of stainless steel was good for me 😊

[@dbishopp0113]

Kevin ironing is so Zen! My Grandma taught me the love of ironing by teaching me to iron all of my Grandfathers hankies! Why they're called hankies idk! LOL :). Thank you for another great vid and recipe for the squash! Cutting the bottom point off so they stand up easy is a brilliant tip! Bless you! *Hankie helper!

[@janjones4224]

What a great way to prepare Carnival Squash! Sounds perfect for a rainy day. Thanks for sharing.

[@arj-peace]

It's great to get ideas for winter squash, a vegetable I always look at admiringly in the store or farmer's market, but feel too intimidated to buy. I hope you will share more winter squash recipes here this fall and I will try to give winter squash a go. 😊

[@karenlukas1222]

I can’t wait to try this! I love your carnival squash. I will definitely look for those! Thank you, Kevin. A perfect rainy day dinner!

[@barbaraobrien3522]

Dear Kevin, I love to polish my silver, I'm born 9.25 so I have silver minis for my dollhouse. Your leeks look grand. Happy days, Barbie 😊

[@georgettea7836]

You have such a positive attitude to everything you do. You show us how to enjoy life. 😊

[@adriaschumann9641]

I love ironing and find it soothing and organizing both my mind and the things I am ironing. On one side is a mess of wrinkled things to be ironed; on the other side, nicely ironed items. Love it. I do clean my grandmother's silver as a promise to her, but it is not my favorite activity. But I do it.

[@colleen4574]

Last night I made a few stuffed tromboncino squash. They grow huge and look like a trombone. I made some veggie for my neighbor and then some with Italian sausage and diced pepperoni; they were fantastic as your's here look. I love you used the tops for a lid. You are a breath of fresh air Kevin, from the background music you chose to your endearing smile. ☂☔✨ And a last note, I found the same polish this morning locally, such coincidence and it works much better than the last type I purchased.

[@helenasuneli9331]

I've become addicted to you... Have to meet you every day... Thanks ever so much for your lovely videos!

[@vernareed2692]

I say you live in Heaven! Your beautiful home, garden, little dog!! And your state is beautiful! I love it!! The reci6soinds and looks like a winner! I love squash and pumpkins! The farmers market is like a candy store! I could stay there all day!

[@katesinclair2645]

What a great idea for a quick and delicious winter dinner. Will definitely keep this one in my recipe box. Thanks. The silver set is beautiful.

[@happyday8280]

I shall make the stuffed squash and use lentils instead of meat 😊great thank you 🙏. I like polishing my boots and my friends’ sense of achievement ! ❤

[@kathytappero7179]

I agree with you about polishing silver and ironing. There is something so satisfying about seeing their beauty come to life under your ministrations. 😊

[@bettyrogers3792]

Love your channel Kevin. Some days I feel sad that you are eating alone. I do too and it’s not fun.

[@rhondawiggins5728]

Your videos make me as if everything is going to be OK. Just wonderful.

[@user-zz4fp3vl1r]

I am diabetic so I will make this using summer squash boats. Thank you for your wonderful videos. Even though I live in a tiny house you show ways I can make it feel elegant. I love your house! I also love my little house. It smells wonderful when I cook your wonderful recipes.

[@claudiahundley2536]

Hi Kev😃 You are such a delightful and talented guy. I love all your videos. I feel sure Mr. Fox realizes what a treasure you are❤. Keep the videos coming. Thanks so much.

[@mollyhappymum4816]

Dear Kevin it’s so reassuring to see you sharing your delicious meal with someone - I sometimes feel sad to see you sitting alone enjoying your endeavours. I too love cleaning silver and brass and copper - it’s very therapeutic though not a popular pastime with many of my friends! Thank you for your calming and friendly presentations and I really appreciate your detailed information - always a joy to spend time with you. Best wishes from the UK. ☘️🇬🇧🎉🎉🎉🥰

[@catherinetrollip1311]

❤like the way you clean your sleeves pot with nice and clean ❤❤we have got same to to clean there pot and spoon to ❤❤

[@sabinekoch3448]

We’re supposed to be in spring, but it’s raining and very cold- so, this will be my supper tomorrow! Thank you!

[@LisaRanae79]

I feel the same way about ironing cloth napkins and special tea towels. 🥰💛 I think you are just too cute! Love your videos! I feel very honored to have a sweet peek into you and your families lovely home.

[@gailhorrocks]

Wonderfully delicious fall.. If that is Mr. Fox dining as well... regards

[@lesliebrickey8357]

Mr. Fox is a lucky man to be married to such a charming homemaker.

[@kathybinkley840]

Kevin glad I found your channel.... I bet that square recipe is very good, I certainly will have to try that one. When I saw you ironing the napkins it made me smile because I believe that is something of the past, however my mother made us iron everything and today, I still iron. I feel like i'm not together if I don't. Enjoyed this video!!

[@kaywallace6139]

Nice presentation

[@mariongould4173]

You opened your gates...what an incredible garden.

[@lunamae4718]

You are sunshine on a rainy day. Can't wait to do everything you demonstrated in this video ! Will let you know how cleaning the inside of my silver works out. I so enjoyed the Coronation chicken salad I made after your last video. I even made my own chutney !

[@susanwagener5953]

Thank you for introducing us to that beautiful song. The song that accompany us to the berry farm . Do not know the name but I shall always think of our time together

[@gregpendrey6711]

Greetings

[@cathynuytten798]

I love cloth napkins. I make my own so I have quite a collection! They make me happy as I can see yours do so for you. It’s the little things that make simple meals special.

[@peggymccubbin4142]

When my hubby worked out of town.. I loved surprising him with good food like you do🧡.

[@juliefaulkner5497]

Am British, I suppose I could do the same thing with a marrow, the squashes there look amazing, so colourful. I love your silverware, so refined and beautiful.

[@terrimessa3619]

I also enjoy ironing, I actually find it relaxing. I even iron my pillow cases and some of my dish towels. In the fall we do stuffed pumpkins using a French Canadian pork pie recipe. Absolutely delicious.

[@user-by8mp7in7i]

You are so elegant and delightful to watch. Thanks ❤

[@ma-ac5507]

I enjoy so much your videos. I also love every time you go around your garden. It makes me fell with peace and gratitud to see how wonderful is nature with us, Gaia provides us with everything we need. I am going make all your recipes it is something that I will do it. I give you thanks for sharing.

[@melissalambert7615]

Such a lovely recipe. I often enjoy stuffed acorn squash. Do it a little differently. Cut in half from top to bottom, cook face down about halfway to done. Then I'll stuff and finish baking. Sometimes it's just bread cubes with saluted onions and celery and pecans. Half a squash is enough for me. I agree, ironing is very Zenlike. Remember reading about physical meditation and chores were one way to practice it. Focus on the chore at hand, feel the cloth, smell the warmth from the iron. Hello from sunny and cool Corvallis Oregon.

[@VathSophanin]

Healthy food and good cooking.

[@bridgetbagby1501]

Yes I love ironing and shining my Silver. I have too many linen napkins. I buy them at antique stores and some were my Mothers. Love your show.

[@derekdelacruz9206]

Love the music ❤so relaxing ❤excellent video ❤pleasant atmosphere 👏👌👍🌞🤗🧑

[@darlenestokes8825]

Such a beautiful dish.

[@annemaxson9363]

What a fun and yummy dinner! Zen attitude is the perfect way to describe ironing or polishing. I’m with you on cloth napkins and silver. I bet I lol and think of you from now on when doing those chores!

[@rozchristopherson648]

Wow. That looks great. I’m vegan. So I think I’ll make mine with TVP. I never really knew how to cook those acorn type squashes before except to cube them for soups. Thanks for this recipe. 😃

[@marcellehendel6384]

Bonjour ! Toujours un plaisir de vous écouter et vous regarder merci de partager vos recettes et vos explications Une très bonne idée de repas merci Bonne soirée Marcelle

[@RC2214]

I like your channel, I don't have an extravagant home like you or do parties but I find your videos pleasant and enjoyable to watch, especially your recipes 🙂

[@justinthefarm]

Great video! Thanks for telling us about Mr. Fox. Made me smile.

[@nonisnest9718]

I have one of the meat breaker uppers(lol) also. Isn’t it great? My mother ironed everything and I have fond memories of going to bed in clean sheets and ironed pillowcases. You live a lovely and elegant life. So enjoyable to watch.

[@lori3488]

The stuffed squash looks beautiful and delicious! I made your beer bread recipe it’s so good such a beautiful crumb! Thank you Kevin❤

[@kristinaginorio1344]

I love your gardens. They are so un-fussy and classic in style. I know you propagated the boxwoods. Do you have photos of the property as it was when you purchased it? How long did it take to achieve the current look? Do you have any photos of gardens you had in older homes? I think we'd enjoy hearing and seeing more about your landscape design decisions.

[@helenpanayi1159]

I used to help my Gran clean the silver.

[@mavep2855]

Your stuffed squash recipe looked delicious. A perfect fall meal! I still iron and polish silver just like my Mother before me. Thanks Kevin 🙏❤️

[@mariabanholzer5960]

Nice to see you again Kevin! Adore to come with you🤗 Much love from Sourh of France

[@lilahasson5110]

I will plant some leeks next year. Yours looked absolutely beautiful! They are something I’ve never used before but now I will. May you and Mr. Fox have a wonderful weekend!❤❤❤

[@dianepelosi9625]

My therapy so to speak is my vacuum. When I vacuum my house it’s always a good feeling for me. BTW, save those seeds, I love to just scrape off excess squash and toast, yummy like pumpkin seeds. Also for meatless Monday may I suggest quinoa and beans instead of meat? Diane from Center Moriches 😎

[@tricia9559]

Ooh lovely a road trip to the shops - perfect 🇬🇧

[@gwenzangari6575]

I find your videos extremely calming and enjoyable thank
