Planting Garlic, Making Dinner, and More!

[@corinapetrusan63]

Dear Kevin, I can’t thank you enough. Your little delightful home clips on cooking, decorating,gardening and entertaining are just marvelous! They delight mom and myself every time. It is so relaxing to watch you with all the great ideas . We absolutely love your classy ways of presenting everything. Lovely piano music too. We wish you would play a bit more for us, after each episode. You play so nicely!!!! Thank you so much for bringing us so much peace and joy. 🥰 Corina and Lucia

[@ruthboswell4728]

And yes!!! Christmas music on your piano!! Please do!!

[@stephenholmes5362]

Kevin you are a true Renaissance man!

[@MaryLuminary]

Beautiful piano playing, thank you! The dinner looks delicious and a little like comfort food to me. Chocolate cake for dessert. I enjoy seeing the fire in the fireplace. Do you ever make fried green tomatoes? I have, and serve them with ranch dressing. Kind of a fun way to use up the green tomatoes at the end of the season. I make a tempura batter to coat the tomatoes and then fry in a pan, drain on paper towel, etc. Anyway, thought I'd mention. Tomato relish sounds good too. Thank you for the video. Look forward to the next episode. Take care and enjoy your weekend.♥️🍅🧄🥦🍷🍁🐈🐈‍⬛🐕🎹🎵🎶

Hi Kevin, I greatly enjoy watching your videos. I am fascinated by your location /garden zone which is the opposite of mine. In the video you asked about our gardens. I live in south central Florida in a small town named Sebring where my vegetable gardening is just beginning for the season. Unfortunately, we went through two hurricanes recently. Hurricane Milton was ferocious and while I was fortunate and had no terrible damage (the beauty of living in the center of Florida in a 100 yr old home) the plants in my garden boxes which sit down near the lake we live on were pretty well tore up. No worries,I will replant all of it. Since it’s early in our very long growing season it will all be fine. Thank you for choosing to let strangers into your life, home , kitchen and garden. It’s always a pleasure .

[@thetorchyblameseries8100]

Wow, Sebring. i have been scoping the area recently. i'm from Miami 1958, then Broward County now over to the West Coast, Sarasota/Charlotte county line. Not very nice people moving in and bringing their ideologies with them. What do you think of Sebring?

[@CyndyLou123]

@@thetorchyblameseries8100 Sebring is a rural sweet sleepy little town. In the winter season most of our tourists are senior citizens from Ohio, Illinois and Michigan. The majority of residents are conservatives politically regardless of their party affiliation. We have many “southern democrats “ living here. It’s a nice town but not much shopping and no fancy restaurants. The county has many golf courses and many fishing Lakes for entertainment. By 10 pm the streets are empty. I seldom go anywhere where I don’t see someone I know. Highlands county has a population of a bit over 100k with 3 towns, Avon Park to the north Sebring in the middle and Lake Placid to the south. I grew up in Dallas Texas and Phoenix Az then as an adult moved to west Palm Beach. When my children came along I knew I had to get out of that rat race and we had friends with a cattle ranch near Sebring. It was an adjustment I would gladly do again.

[@thetorchyblameseries8100]

@@CyndyLou123 Thank you very much. I'm somewhat bewildered at what's happened to Florida in the past ten years or so. When I was a bachelor girl in the 80s and even 90s, we could move anywhere in Florida and enjoy our Beloved state. Now I don't even recognize Florida. Sebring sounds interesting, I went to a board meeting there once and that's how the area popped into my mind. You surely sound like you're happy where you are. Again, i appreciate your response.

[@dorishodge4451]

Your "Afternoon Tea" videos have inspired me to have a tea with my friends. Luckily, one of my friends had a British mother so they have all the pots and cups and other necessities that I don't have. They are fixing your Victoria Sponge recipe and your coronation chicken. I am fixing your scone, clotted cream and egg salad and cucumber sandwich recipes. They have some teas and I have some I ordered from Tierra Farms. We are all looking forward to it, thanks to you.

[@mypinklife3415]

The piano playing is the icing on the cake, very much appreciated. Thanks also for the cameos of the fur babies. The chicken dinner looks very high end, like something you'd get in an upscale restaurant. You make it look so easy but it has a lot of love put into it from making your own garlic balls and making the beautiful chocolate cake with creme fresh. You always have the most beautiful presentation in the parlor with a lovely fire. Well done Kevin. I look forward to your next video.

[@WendyHLM]

Oh, Kevin, today’s episode was such a gift. All I can say is thank you❤️

I prepared your amazing chocolate loaf cake. It is our new “go-to” chocolate cake recipe. I intended to have it for dessert this evening, however, my significant other took the remaining cake to the office this morning. 🤣🤣🤣 My garden is winding down as well. I have a few herbs to harvest and preserve. I’ve already begun dreaming of next year’s garden. Enjoy a warm and cozy weekend!!!…💜

[@karencollins7340]

That dinner looks delicious! Loved your comment " measure with your heart."😊

Thank you for sharing your time at the piano with us. I am also a pianist and love to hear others perform. I love Chopin. I’m going to give flaked mash potatoes a try along with the chicken with the Herbs de Provence.

Always a treat to hear you play the piano! We're getting our first snows here in the mountains, but mostly cold rainy weather in the foothills.. All that's left to harvest in my gardens are a few herbs, but the majority was harvested a week ago. Have a great weekend and stay warm and dry!

[@elizabethtregoning1380]

I just discovered your channel, truly enjoying your videos. As a fan of roasted broccoli, I usually broil it and it comes out perfectly.

Your mother loved the piano episode!thank you.

[@irenejoseph9547]

My garden is slowly falling asleep. I have pulled and composted most of the expired plants and flowers but I do have quite a few volunteer yellow tomatoes still ripening on the vines in my yard but I know they won’t last too much longer. I planted some spinach and arugula in grow bags about a week ago. Hopefully, the sun’s warmth during the day and the cool nights will make for a good growing environment. We have had a couple of light scattered frosts in the valley and even some snowfall with accumulation at about 6000 feet. LeConte Lodge in the Great Smoky Mountains has recorded its first snowfall of the season. I still have false indigo to cut back and wild chicory to trim after the chickadees and finches have had their fill of the seeds. Fall time is filled with yard work but it is so worth it to ensure a good start for plants, flowers, and shrubs in the spring. May your days be filled with all that is good. Waiting for the next video. And Avery is such a good dog.

[@ferdaozdemir]

It is a joy watching your day💕💕💕💕. I envied two things, particularly how you keep your clothes clean 🫧🫧when gardening and how you have a long piano practice session🎹🎹🎹🎹. I wish I had the time as an adult self-learner.

Kevin, here in Chicagoland our garden is beginning to look like it's winding down! Harvesting the last of the tomatoes and even the green turn beautiful red in a few days in the window! Mom loves the green tomatoes fried in some cornmeal, until crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside sprinkled with S&P :) I've been dehydrating our herbs for a few weeks so we have them during the long cold Winter season! You inspired us to plant Garlic & also to put up a Cow Trellis next Spring! Thank you for always sparking thought! We just LOVE you!

[@maryabreu9634]

My Grandmother and Great Aunt Alice used to play the piano when they visited us on special occasions such as Christmas and Easter. So watching Kevin playing the piano just now reminded me of those days gone by. We also had a real fireplace in our Grandmother's house, where I was brought up for my first 5 years of age 😊😂

A cutting garden is a grand ideal!!! My advice would be, plant flowers in colours that would be beautiful and appropriate for the season it's blooming. Example would be, yellow ,purples in spring, pinks, blues, rose colours in summer and burgundy,rust, reds and gold's in fall, whites blooms are for all seasons Love your channel ❤😊

You know, Kevin, back when we had a large garden, we would pick the green tomatoes before the frost and store them in a cardboard box between layers of newspaper. Then, we put the box in a cool place for storage, and we'd take a tomato or two out and put them on a sunny window ledge and they would ripen up.
