Thank you, Kevin😊
The dinner looked absolutely wonderful ! I love your videos because I can gather so many ideas from them 😊😊❤
Wonderful, simply gloriously wonderful. I love everything about this Spring dinner, especially the mashed potato! Thank you dear Kevin for always, without fail, being a tpp-notch inspiration. My German artist husband usually watches your videos over my shoulder and will comment randomly in German – today's comments – "Der gesamte Anlass ist eines Gemäldes von Cezanne würdig; die Farben sind exquisit und ästhetisch sehr ansprechend. Bitte richten Sie Kevin aus, dass ich sein Gespür für Farben schätze." (The entire occasion is worthy to be painted by Cezanne the colours are exquisite and aesthetically rather pleasing. Please tell Kevin I appreciate his colour sensibilities. ). I am so grateful to you for the beauty you create, thank you. Kind greetings. Hester and Martin Stiller, Cape Town, South Africa.
I am new here and you have a lovely house indeed
Thank you 😊
I'm so excited to try the ribs in my pressure cooker. I stopped using it because I couldn't find recipes I liked. Thank you for the videos they inspire me to cook more.
I had forgotten about the table cloth vs. placemat thing. My mom always used placements at the table at dinner when I was a little girl {supper, where I am from}, disposable ones for breakfast and lunch, and tablecloths for formal and holiday dinners. When I was married and my children were younger (all are adults) I preferred table cloths or the beautiful fabric placements my former m-i-l made (we went through a lot of Shout/Spray&Wash😉.) We switched to some pretty wool placemats that were covered in translucent scalloped vinyl ( from my mom), they were a great time saver. Is that your guitar music in the background? It's beautiful.
When I have used fresh asparagus in a pureed form, I find there are needle-like fibers in the mixture. I have had to put it through a sieve to remove them , which is not really clean or easy. I found that using frozen asparagus does not result in the same fibrous needles being found in the puree. I use it mostly in a leek asparagus soup. I also make a mix up of (mostly) green vegetables where I have used asparagus and when using fresh, the same fibers are present and basically make the green puree unappetizing because those needles are irritating. Do you find these needle-like fibers are present in your pureed soup?
Dude, have you secretly taken a flower arrangement class? Nice! Your menu looked beautiful, and my mouth watered as you plated. The carrot salad reminds me of a 1960's salad, only add raisins and walnuts.
Love, love, love your videos. I look forward to them every week.
I look forward to your videos every week. What a gorgeous table you have set. I think it’s my favorite. The flowers look like Spring. Superb job as always. Happy Memorial Day to you and yours ❤
Good evening Kevin absolutely delightful video, what a splendid menu. Regards Leanne Queensland Australia 🎉
I luv that you use snap dragons. They are a memory from childhood. My Mom grew them every year!
