I did the same for one of our cats. We didn't find her in our backyard like you did but bought her from a feed store. They had two cages full of kittens and most were at least mostly healthy and active but one was really tiny and was curled up as tightly as she could in a corner of the cage. The cage was outside and it had been in the 30s overnight. We bought her and found out she didn't know how to eat cat food. I heated up a mix of milk and Karo corn syrup and fed her with an eye dropper every two hours, setting an alarm between feedings. She lived for 18 years before crossing the rainbow bridge.

Your energy level is amazing.. My mother was a cake decorator and the instructor gave them a cake pan coating to release baked goods, here’s the recipe if you would like to have it. Equal parts flour, shortening and oil, whipped . I use a brush to coat the pans and have great success.

Hi Kevin. I just discovered you today. I relate to you in many ways. I’ve always been interested in cooking. Unfortunately, my mother didn’t enjoy cooking, so I had no one to inspire me. She didn’t want me in the kitchen. Finally, on my 12th birthday, she told me that I could bake my birthday cake. I chose a Pillsbury pineapple cake. Forty-five years ago I was engaged to my husband, Rick (RF). His mother was a fabulous cook. I would watch her in the kitchen. She bought me a wok one Christmas and I realized that I could slay those wonderful Asian recipes. I have spent so much time in the kitchen, and I’ve enjoyed every minute. My Grandson, Vincent, has spent so much time watching me cook. Now he’s 15. One Thanksgiving he put on an apron and said, “Let’s cook”. I was thrilled. He cooked the entire dinner, with my help, and it was wonderful. Cooking is a gift that you give your loved ones everyday. I will continue watching you. Thank you for what you do. You bring class back to good preparation and entertaining.

Kevin, I have been making Christmas puddings for many years and I never follow a recipe. I can put it together in about 15 minutes but I steam it for many hours. I always include grated carrots, currants and other dried fruits, grated apple whatever, traditionally suet and bread crumbs are used but I add butter and flour and Guinness or any liquids as needed. I just feel when it's right. I never add sugar as the dried fruits are the sweetener. So I steam, and steam until the pudding is very black. Moist not burnt. We always flame it with brandy, lights out for presentation and a sprig of holly on top.We use Bird's custard made with eggnog and sherry, whipped cream or brandy or rum butter. Just a family tradition that I keep going even though I am too full to eat dessert, I don't really enjoy sweets anyway but I love making them.

Good morning Kevin from our farm in New Hampshire. Your viewers are asking wonderful questions. I can understand getting back into an exercise routine, especially if you are a Foodie and you are! So am I. When did you and Mr. Fox purchase your home? The restoration is marvelous! That period suits you. I am more 1920s/1930s Craftsman era. Not as elegant as your home, but solid and functional, with touches of " Sunday best". Oh I can understand your affinity for onion rings, but my all time favorite is deep fried oysters! That said I like oyster anything, if cooked. OK Kevin, here is my question. What would you add to you kitchen? My gram had my dad paint her bead board kitchen cabinets a mint green and I really liked it. That smokey green sounds good. She made a date custard pie at Thanksgiving. The dates were strained. It was similar to a pumpkin pie. I have never seen anyone else make that pie. ~ Diane

From personal experience, I have a suggestion for you. Consider painting only the lower cabinets first and living with it for a while to see if that’s enough color to take away the “ too white” value of the kitchen. If not you can always paint the upper cabinets too.
