I wish there was a LOVE option instead of the LIKE button we have to use every time. You deserve so much more than a standard thumbs up! Great video as always! We all LOVE you Kevin! ❤
I love your comment about surrounding yourself with beautiful things. No matter our styles and likes, we should all surround ourselves with what we love. Even if only in a small way, it makes us smile. Your silver is beautiful, as is your home. Thanks for sharing!
What a lovely coincidence. I just poured a cup of tea and saw the notification, I couldn't click on the video fast enough. Kevin, you make everything seem so effortless and elegant but I know you put a lot of effort into producing these high quality videos. Thank you for providing a relaxing and enchanting safe space for sixteen minutes. I can't wait to see you on the next video.
If you had told me I'd watch a video on polishing silver, I never would have believed you, but here I am! Kevin's videos are enchanting, comforting, and relaxing, and remind us that we can infuse elegance in our everyday worlds, even those that don't contain antique silver. But alas! Here I sit having a midday work break, eating my nice lunch, drinking sparkling water from one of the "nice glasses," with a vase of flowers artfully arranged for my companion (plus everyone here of course!). Small moments of elegance even in my tiny kitchen, inspired by Kevin.
Polishing silver is indeed satisfying. I have a set of candle holders a vase and a beautiful pair of earrings that make me happy every time I polish them. To see the shine come through is beautiful.
Hi Kevin! Every video conveys how precious you are. You just glow in your videos. Every one I watch is so enjoyable and light hearted. It gives me such calm. I can only smile as I see you present all the simple ways of enjoying life. Your smile and words are so warming. Thankyou for all your efforts to bring us pieces of your luxury living so we can create our own. With much love for your light I send you this and will try to keep this kind of gentleness and joy in my day!😊
Greetings from Santa Fe, ARGENTINA. 🇦🇷 Your vídeo was fantastic and the chicken sauvignon looked delicious. Kevin, I adore the way you teach us how to be elegant in your daily life.🌟
Once again, a triumph. Just love yr recipes and your winter garden. Never snows anywhere but high up in the mountains in Australia and it looks simply magical. Delish dinner, and table setting by the fireside. How wonderful 😊❤
Kevin, I couldn't wait to click on your video to see what "we" will be doing today. 🙂 I love how you make this about you and your viewers. You are such a gracious host! My silver is hidden away in my basement, and you have inspired me to clean and display it. Your soft voice and "calmness" really help me to relax and enjoy our time together. I'm always rushing around and I enjoy spending these minutes with you. I love to hear where you have acquired your treasures. I also find you very talented! I cherish your videos and can't wait until you poste a new one.
Hello Kevin. Your silver pieces are stunning! I, too, polish my silver and enjoy the results. I wanted to compliment you on your choice of the Royal Albert Blue Roses fine china set. I have Royal Albert's Old Country Roses, very elegant and so pretty as yours is. In my last comment, I credited you for your command of metaphorical phrases. Bravo to you for your alliterative descriptions. I so enjoy language that entertains with a tad of humor. Very nice! Enjoy the beauty of your home's interior and exterior. Regards, Antonia Smith
Thank you so much, Kevin, for yet another wonderful video. I didn't want the video to end at all! Lol. You are such a blessing. The calmness in your voice, your beautiful home, the way you prepare your food etc....everything is just so beautiful and relaxing. Oh and l just love the snow. So, so beautiful. Sending love and tons of blessings.
Kevin, spending the day with you would be an absolute joy. I'm a hillbilly so there would be tons of stuff for you to laugh at. I talk funny, I look funny, and I dress funny, so I'm here on your channel trying to better myself! Thanks for the inspiration my good man and one day I hope to inspire you!
Wow how I would love to spend the day with you as well as Kevin. I would appreciate your uniqueness and value your opinions as you have lived a life so different to mine here in Australia..I send you best wishes from me to you 😊💕🦘🙏
Beautiful presentation. Love the snowy scenery, cozy fireplace, sense of style, slowed down pace and your relaxing story telling voice. I will definitely make the French inspired poulet avec sauvignon blanc. Thank you.
Dear Kevin, there is just something therapeutic about cleaning. I love to "household" and cherish all the beautiful things in our home. Greetings from Chicago 🙂
Dear kevin, I found your channel by chance months ago and I have to tell you it is just wonderful. I have spent a lot of time watching your older videos, your style, your way and your dedication is just wonderful with how much love and effort you cook your dishes and also present them in the most dignified way on a wonderful set table. Best regards and best wishes
The chicken dish looks wonderful and I think it's great that even if you are dining alone, that you set your table nicely to really enjoy the lovely meal that you made. Great idea to use vegetable stock in your rice.
When I was a kid, when my grandmother would have parties, she would have me polish all her silver. I loved doing it because once I completed the task, the gleaming silver was so pretty and was such a great reward for doing all the work. Thank you for bringing back that memory. I made the chicken in wine sauce and will make it again. Thank You!
In a modern rushed world your channel makes me feel that it's perfectly normal to love rambling through antique shops, polishing silver,flower arranging and loving my introverted self. Forsythia is my favorite spring blooming shrub. The branches alone are beautiful in a glass vase. I have found the more I use silver the less I have to polish it but it's certainly worth the effort. Nothing is more beautiful than a table set with silver. Please keep the therapeutic and gorgeous videos coming.
I grew up in West Park in the stone rectory overlooking the Vanderbilt mansion over the Hudson. My mother loved French cuisine, so we had many delicious dinners next to the fireplace in the dining room. In the summer we had beautiful silver bowls of peonies on the table with the French doors open to the river porch. Always silver candle sticks, napkin rings and linen napkins. You can see why I love your esthetic. Thank you. ❤
Such a lovely episode! My mother decided two years ago to pass down her silverware (Fine Arts Sterling, Southern Colonial pattern) to my brother and sister-in-law. They had china, but no silver service. I have my own silver and my sister is a paper plate and plastic ware kind of gal! My mom and I polished and then gently washed and dried her silverware, had the box refinished and a new brass plaque with their last name added. I think we were more excited to give it, but when they used it at Christmas, they were thrilled.
Kevin.....I am so happy and thrilled that I’ve stumbled across you! After watching only 2 videos I couldn’t wait to subscribe. You are so refreshing from all of the other mediocre programs. I love your home, your decor, the relaxing ambience and mouthwatering meals. But more than anything, I love your soothing voice. I look forward to binge watching all of your episodes until I get caught up. Thank you for sharing your daily routines with me.
I am a new subscriber and I already know that your home, your chicken, your fire is where my heart wants to be on a snow day. Much love to both of you!
It reminds me of when I was a kid. My Mother always gave me the job to polishing the silver and dusting. I still enjoy doing both. I find it to be relaxing.
I have to admit Kevin makes very simple recipe videos but he is enormously wealthy! He doesn't patronise his audience and doesn't need the UA-cam proceeds. Wish I could live like him! Hopefully Kevin goes live one time and plays us some Chopin!
I first discovered you when I was looking for recipes for the Coronation! Since then, I've enjoyed so many of your videos! You're just lovely ...your disposition, how easy you make your recipes appear, and your overall joie de vivre! Thank you for your artistry!
I'm envious of your snow Kevin! You may have inspired me to go to the bottom of the property here where the forsythia's are, I didn't know they could be forced already, thank you. Dinner in front of the fire looks wonderful. I use my silver everyday we've convinced ourselves it makes the food taste better and life is too short not to use all the pretty things 😀I have a funny little book called 'A Southern Belle Primer" and it names your Burgundy Pattern as one of THE silver patterns chosen by southerners (especially popular in Louisiana). Have a great weekend!
@@lentilgoddess Haha, me too. My girlfriend gifted it to me when I was trying to figure out living in the deep south as a transplanted northerner. lol.
When you were sitting at your dining room table cleaning your silver items, I thought you looked cute. (You look different without your glasses). And I liked the one lone candle on the tea room table, at the end of this video. And ofcourse, I get the message that you are conveying with this video! Clearly, you don't appreciate my previous comment about snow-laden gardens, and snowy landscapes in general. Well, I'm sorry, but I just can't help how I feel. Just looking at sights like that; I get depressed, and I can practically FEEL the cold! Brrrrr! Plus, I've seen too many movies where they show winter graveyards covered in snow! But I have had my share of cold snowy weather. I grew up on the East Coast, and I had alot of fun playing in the snow and making snowmen. All kinds of sledding, and even skiing almost every winter at nice ski lodges. And as a teenager, I joined a big bunch of other kids at a snow frolic, and one of the boys had brought a huge tractor tire inner tube, that he had inflated it to capacity, and we ALL gathered upon it, boys and girls, a large pile of "bodies", barely holding onto it, and someone gave the mass of us teenage bodies a shove, and DOWN we all went, careening down the steep hill!
Hi Kevin, you brought back memories. In 1958 I was one of the airmen chosen to serve the head table at the RAF 40th Anniversary celebratory dinner at Bentley Priory in Sussex. The entire Royal Family attended. We spent three days toiling over the silver cleaning prior to the event. We weren't as relaxed as you appear to be taking care of the chore. You look like you're enjoying yourself with that lovely log fire crackling behind. Cheers!
I love polishing my silver! Its therapeutic for me. A beautiful snowy evening, a warm fire and comfort food...a perfect evening! Thanks for sharing, Kevin.
From Rochester NY - Love all the comments on this! Five years ago, I reluctantly had my gazillion-year-old forsythia removed due to disease and its size for the site. I still miss it. Thanks for reminding me how my annual ritual of pruning and forcing (so easy and foolproof) transformed the house in February. A local harbinger of spring rather than a hothouse substitute. I'm going to email my neighbors and see of they have a forsythia that could use a little pruning. I'll be happy for anything I can get. Thank you, Kevin. These small things you drop into your videos are GEMS! Still enjoying my small linen tea/cocktail napkins that were sitting in a forgotten drawer. It's beautiful here in Rochester too!
First of all, your house is so beautiful in the snow. I enjoyed the section on polishing silver. I have a silver antique, velvet lined box with a lid that my brother gave me. I polished it when he gave it to me, boy oh boy does it need a new job. You always inspire me. I love seeing the beautiful flower arrangements around your house. I could almost smell the stew! Mr. Fox must travel a lot as you seem be alone for many of your fabulous dinners. Do you always put on a nice jacket and set a beautiful table just for yourself, or is that for your loving audience?
Good morning Kevin, I do enjoy this s with my coffee before I get going. Very nice point about surrounding ourselves with beautiful things. I moved way out west to NorCal mountains several years ago at 60. From Chicago. This old ranch house from 1870 is pretty cool, but needed many interesting and homey touches. Still working on that and hope to paint all the creamy walls much more interesting colors over many months. Your chicken stew looks so yummy in this colder than normal winter. I did something similar a couple of nights ago, but love your addition of bacon and leeks. Will try next time. Thx for starting out my day with calm and a smile. Thx so much for your work! Peace and love
Wish I could spend a magical winter day at your home, so special. Didn't realize polishing silver could be so relaxing and by the fire no less. Dinner looked wonderful and I could smell the perfume. Thank you for sharing another day in your life!
Hi Kevin....I found it interesting to see your silver spirit kettle today. My British Great-Grandfather was a Civil Engineer in India both before and during the Indian Uprising.....when he returned from India he brought my Great-Grandmother a spirit kettle that looks exactly like yours in style and size but it is made from solid BRASS! When it is polished and buffed it shines like gold and has become a treasured family heirloom, and holds pride-of-place currently in my nephew's home.
Thank you Kevin for your wonderful words and videos, I really love to watch you from Australia, I adore your beautiful home, It’s everything I wished in had! Perhaps you could give a tour of your beautiful home one day that would be wonderful🙏 God Bless you both and keep you safe 🙏 Anne in Perth 🇮🇪🇮🇪
Hi Anne - I have filmed several rooms in this house. To see them, go to my main page (click on the picture of me), select "playlists" and then "house tours." Hope you enjoy the videos!
I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of this video! Thank you for sharing your silver polishing method. I've always found polishing relaxing and fun as well. In the old Mrs. Piggle Wiggle books, the mothers were often polishing the silver while the children played outside or were at school. I also love the fact that you always wear a jacket when you eat dinner in the dining room. So nice to see a man in a jacket! Thanks for sharing your lovely day with us.
You have a priceless gift of giving smiles, happiness and peace to we viewers. I enjoy polishing my mother’s sterling sliver Chippendale pattern cutlery, a coffee and tea service and my roll top breakfast servers. I store them in felt bags with desiccant packets and pieces of chalk to try to slow the tarnish process. I have been admiring your silver and cobalt blue sugar dish for many months now - so gorgeous! The chicken stew looks luscious and we will try it soon. I was imagining the aroma of it bubbling on the stove.. 😋 Thank you for our weekly gift of your video. I hope you, Mr Fox, Binky and Avery have a peaceful and relaxing weekend.
I have no idea how your videos came across my newsfeed, but I love every single one! The way you present everything is absolutely wonderful and elegant without being pretentious ! ❤
It takes its time to have it cleaned, but the way silver looks when it's polished beats nothing. You have a lot of taste. I have fallen in love with your cutlery.
Kevin, even polishing your antiques silver was a very pleasurable moments with you. Thanks for always sounding your relaxing voice with us your UA-camr viewers. What a wonderful moments always. Blessed day to you & Mr. Fox🙏🏽👍🏽
Thank you, Mr. Kevin. It is always a treat to hang out with you; and I, so very much, enjoy ALL of your videos! Please give my kindest regards to Mr. Fox. Thank you, again. Stay warm and be safe! ☺💖🙏
You have exquisite taste in antique silver and china I must say Kevin ☺️ and your dinner looks delicious the Chicken Sauvignon Blanc Stew 🍲😋 which I saved the recipe for when I go grocery shopping again this week I will get the ingredients for to make, Thank you for all that you do Kevin☺️❤️
I love all your pots and pans,everything oozes good quality and it’s clear you take good of them. That’s a very important part of cooking...taking care of all the utensils and gadgets for cooking. I also like your your tableware. You put so much care and love into setting up your table!!! Thank for the delicious recipe. ❤
Once again, thank you for your lovely vlogs - my Sunday respite from the (sadly increasing) cares of the world. From the introductory piano playing softly and with your dog peacefully cozied up to a real fireplace, to your calm and friendly voice as you share your beautiful home and offer such clear and understandable cooking instructions. Very, very enjoyable.
I often cheat when cleaning silver and use washing soda, tin foil and boiling water. With a good rinse and polished with soft clothe it takes half the time. Love the Mappin and Webb, lucky you; I have one necklace from them, given to me in the 60s.
I can’t wait for my next gathering, I will be serving this. I made the braised short ribs for my last dinner party. It was such a hit as I know this will be..thank you for sharing your wonderful recipes with us. 🙏🏾❤️
KEVIN, YOU ARE A CLASS ACT....LOVE EVERYTHING THAT YOU POST...SEEING YOU POLISH YOUR SILVER REMINDS ME THAT I NEED TO DO MINE. ALSO..I HAVE TOO MANY PIECES , BUT JUST LIKE YOU I AM A LOVER OF BEAUTIFUL THINGS...YOUR HOME REMINDS ME OF MINE..TODAY PEOPLE SHY AWAY FROM THE DRAPES & THE FUSSY STUFF ,THEY SAY ITS TOO MUCH WORK. BUT TO ME THATS WHAT MAKES A HOME WARM & INVITING. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR EFFORT.
Hi Kevin. Thank you for another relaxing and interesting day with you. It's Sunday evening in the UK and so lovely to catch up with you in your delightful snow covered garden. I love coming in to warm up by your sizzling log fire! The Chicken Sauvignon Stew looks delicious and easy to cook. I also look forward to cooking rice with vegetable stock. It's bedtime here now and I have enjoyed another cosy day with you and Avery. Bon Appetite and Bon Soir from the Mary, Poole, Dorset, UK
What a delightful video, Kevin. I can only reiterate what so many others have said. Your relaxing presentation and your pursuit of everyday elegance makes me happy. Thank you for sharing your life with us. The stew looks divine! Another recipe to put in my repertoire.🥰
Dear Kevin, just wanted to let you know that I made your recipe for brie and apricot preserves in puff pastry for a holiday gathering. Not only was it delicious, it was the hit of the party! Many thanks for your delightful videos!
Dear Kevin, you even make mundane chores, seem delightful. Im going to polish our silver now:) Thanks for sharing. Sharing is caring.❤ PS. Making this chicken dish tonight!
Your garden looks so beautiful under all the snow. It's cold here, (Manchester, England) but we haven't had too much snow. I love your silver. I was fortunate to inherit a lot of silver and old ornaments etc. They're my prized possessions and will be divided between my three children when it's time to hand them over. I love that they've been handed down through four generations of our family. I'm very lucky in that respect. Oh and the stew looked great, will definitely be trying that. Thanks for posting. xxx
I don’t think I can articulate any better than what others are saying about you and your videos! I look so forward to them, so relaxing and comforting! You are the Mr. Rogers for us adults! Your voice is just as soothing, that was my favorite show as a kid, I’m dating myself, in my 50’s. 😂
Excited to try this stew on Saturday! I love cooking with some sort of white wine. My daughter made a yellow cake with sherry a few months ago. It was incredible!
I never thought I could ever enjoy watching someone clean silver - who knew 😊. It is always a great pleasure when you post, I pause and make a lovely pot of tea in my best tea service, cups and saucers, sit and enjoy. I usually end up cooking after I have watched you and confess I make something from your cookbook or something from one of your videos, at least twice a week. So thank you most sincerely Kevin 💐.
Hi Kevin, It is snowing where I live as well! A truly beautiful site today. I also cleaned my silver today before watching this! My silver has been in my family so I feel like I am the custodian of it until I pass it on. Thanks for the new recipe and your calming way!
So lovely Kevin! We inherited some incredible antique silver from my husbands grandparents and great grandparents (one of them died on Titanic!) We have a service for 18!!!! Enjoy.
OMG!!! YOU DONT KNOW KEVIN, THAT YOU ARE THERAPY FOR MY WELLBEING...THANK YOU, GOD BLESS 🙏
I wish there was a LOVE option instead of the LIKE button we have to use every time. You deserve so much more than a standard thumbs up! Great video as always! We all
LOVE you Kevin! ❤
I love your comment about surrounding yourself with beautiful things.
No matter our styles and likes, we should all surround ourselves with what we love. Even if only in a small way, it makes us smile. Your silver is beautiful, as is your home. Thanks for sharing!

From Rochester NY - Love all the comments on this! Five years ago, I reluctantly had my gazillion-year-old forsythia removed due to disease and its size for the site. I still miss it. Thanks for reminding me how my annual ritual of pruning and forcing (so easy and foolproof) transformed the house in February. A local harbinger of spring rather than a hothouse substitute. I'm going to email my neighbors and see of they have a forsythia that could use a little pruning. I'll be happy for anything I can get. Thank you, Kevin. These small things you drop into your videos are GEMS! Still enjoying my small linen tea/cocktail napkins that were sitting in a forgotten drawer. It's beautiful here in Rochester too!
First of all, your house is so beautiful in the snow. I enjoyed the section on polishing silver. I have a silver antique, velvet lined box with a lid that my brother gave me. I polished it when he gave it to me, boy oh boy does it need a new job. You always inspire me. I love seeing the beautiful flower arrangements around your house. I could almost smell the stew! Mr. Fox must travel a lot as you seem be alone for many of your fabulous dinners. Do you always put on a nice jacket and set a beautiful table just for yourself, or is that for your loving audience?
Good morning Kevin, I do enjoy this s with my coffee before I get going. Very nice point about surrounding ourselves with beautiful things. I moved way out west to NorCal mountains several years ago at 60. From Chicago. This old ranch house from 1870 is pretty cool, but needed many interesting and homey touches. Still working on that and hope to paint all the creamy walls much more interesting colors over many months.
Your chicken stew looks so yummy in this colder than normal winter. I did something similar a couple of nights ago, but love your addition of bacon and leeks. Will try next time. Thx for starting out my day with calm and a smile. Thx so much for your work!
Peace and love
I just noticed that in 9 hours you had over 5,000 viewers. What joy you are bringing to us all!
Hi Kevin. One can only dream to be as productive as you are. I will definitely try the stew. In fact I am looking forward to it. Thank you Kevin.
Winter wonderland! Silver has timeless beauty
Good Morning Kevin as I've said before love watching your videos, I think your Mr. Potato Head is adorable
KEVIN!!!!! (In Catherine O’Hara’s Voice - [in Home Alone])
Your fan base needs more. NOW!
Thank you, Phylips Levine! New video coming on Friday (or Saturday at the latest). Hope you will watch!
Wish I could spend a magical winter day at your home, so special. Didn't realize polishing silver could be so relaxing and by the fire no less. Dinner looked wonderful and I could smell the perfume. Thank you for sharing another day in your life!
Hi Kevin....I found it interesting to see your silver spirit kettle today. My British Great-Grandfather was a Civil Engineer in India both before and during the Indian Uprising.....when he returned from India he brought my Great-Grandmother a spirit kettle that looks exactly like yours in style and size but it is made from solid BRASS! When it is polished and buffed it shines like gold and has become a treasured family heirloom, and holds pride-of-place currently in my nephew's home.
Thank you Kevin for your wonderful words and videos, I really love to watch you from Australia, I adore your beautiful home,
It’s everything I wished in had! Perhaps you could give a tour of your beautiful home one day that would be wonderful🙏
God Bless you both and keep you safe 🙏 Anne in Perth 🇮🇪🇮🇪
Hi Anne - I have filmed several rooms in this house. To see them, go to my main page (click on the picture of me), select "playlists" and then "house tours." Hope you enjoy the videos!
I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of this video! Thank you for sharing your silver polishing method. I've always found polishing relaxing and fun as well. In the old Mrs. Piggle Wiggle books, the mothers were often polishing the silver while the children played outside or were at school. I also love the fact that you always wear a jacket when you eat dinner in the dining room. So nice to see a man in a jacket! Thanks for sharing your lovely day with us.
The Snow is so Beautiful. Your Outdoor Garden looked absolutely Magical! What a View! I enjoyed your Video! Thank you!
You have a priceless gift of giving smiles, happiness and peace to we viewers.
I enjoy polishing my mother’s sterling sliver Chippendale pattern cutlery, a coffee and tea service and my roll top breakfast servers. I store them in felt bags with desiccant packets and pieces of chalk to try to slow the tarnish process. I have been admiring your silver and cobalt blue sugar dish for many months now - so gorgeous!
The chicken stew looks luscious and we will try it soon. I was imagining the aroma of it bubbling on the stove.. 😋
Thank you for our weekly gift of your video. I hope you, Mr Fox, Binky and Avery have a peaceful and relaxing weekend.
I have no idea how your videos came across my newsfeed, but I love every single one! The way you present everything is absolutely wonderful and elegant without being pretentious ! ❤
Thank you.
Finally someone who finds polishing silver rewarding as I do.
Loved your banquet lamp.
Hope you’re having a good day, thanks for the great tips and recipe. Take care.
Most beautiful video. I love all your silver and of course what you made for dinner. Bravo Kevin !
It takes its time to have it cleaned, but the way silver looks when it's polished beats nothing. You have a lot of taste. I have fallen in love with your cutlery.
Exactly, can't wait for Kevins videos!!! Always thoughtfully presented and such a peaceful respite to watch! Cheers Kevin!
Wow! Your videos are amazing!!! Couldn't love them more than I do!
Kevin, even polishing your antiques silver was a very pleasurable moments with you. Thanks for always sounding your relaxing voice with us your UA-camr viewers. What a wonderful moments always. Blessed day to you & Mr. Fox🙏🏽👍🏽
Another soothing episode ending with a mouth watering receipe that I can’t wait to try! Thank you Kevin!
Thank you, Mr. Kevin. It is always a treat to hang out with you; and I, so very much, enjoy ALL of your videos! Please give my kindest regards to Mr. Fox. Thank you, again. Stay warm and be safe! ☺💖🙏
You have exquisite taste in antique silver and china I must say Kevin ☺️ and your dinner looks delicious the Chicken Sauvignon Blanc Stew 🍲😋 which I saved the recipe for when I go grocery shopping again this week I will get the ingredients for to make, Thank you for all that you do Kevin☺️❤️
I love all your pots and pans,everything oozes good quality and it’s clear you take good of them. That’s a very important part of cooking...taking care of all the utensils and gadgets for cooking. I also like your your tableware. You put so much care and love into setting up your table!!! Thank for the delicious recipe. ❤
Once again, thank you for your lovely vlogs - my Sunday respite from the (sadly increasing) cares of the world. From the introductory piano playing softly and with your dog peacefully cozied up to a real fireplace, to your calm and friendly voice as you share your beautiful home and offer such clear and understandable cooking instructions. Very, very enjoyable.
Kevin, thanks for the midwinter reminder about forcing spring branches -- I'll be cutting some of my flowering quince tomorrow!
I often cheat when cleaning silver and use washing soda, tin foil and boiling water. With a good rinse and polished with soft clothe it takes half the time. Love the Mappin and Webb, lucky you; I have one necklace from them, given to me in the 60s.
Kevin, you have such lovely things! And thank you for the wonderful, new recipe!
I can’t wait for my next gathering, I will be serving this. I made the braised short ribs for my last dinner party. It was such a hit as I know this will be..thank you for sharing your wonderful recipes with us. 🙏🏾❤️
KEVIN, YOU ARE A CLASS ACT....LOVE EVERYTHING THAT YOU POST...SEEING YOU POLISH YOUR SILVER REMINDS ME THAT I NEED TO DO MINE. ALSO..I HAVE TOO MANY PIECES , BUT JUST LIKE YOU I AM A LOVER OF BEAUTIFUL THINGS...YOUR HOME REMINDS ME OF MINE..TODAY PEOPLE SHY AWAY FROM THE DRAPES & THE FUSSY STUFF ,THEY SAY ITS TOO MUCH WORK. BUT TO ME THATS WHAT MAKES A HOME WARM & INVITING. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR EFFORT.
Kevin, It was wonderful to spend an early afternoon with you cleaning and polishing my silver!
Never tire of your beautiful videos ❤️ ❤️
Hi Kevin. Thank you for another relaxing and interesting day with you. It's Sunday evening in the UK and so lovely to catch up with you in your delightful snow covered garden. I love coming in to warm up by your sizzling log fire!
The Chicken Sauvignon Stew looks delicious and easy to cook. I also look forward to cooking rice with vegetable stock. It's bedtime here now and I have enjoyed another cosy day with you and Avery. Bon Appetite and Bon Soir from the Mary, Poole, Dorset, UK
Very nice relaxing, warm and cozy way to spend the days indoors.
What a delightful video, Kevin. I can only reiterate what so many others have said. Your relaxing presentation and your pursuit of everyday elegance makes me happy. Thank you for sharing your life with us. The stew looks divine! Another recipe to put in my repertoire.🥰
Dear Kevin, just wanted to let you know that I made your recipe for brie and apricot preserves in puff pastry for a holiday gathering. Not only was it delicious, it was the hit of the party! Many thanks for your delightful videos!
Dear Kevin, you even make mundane chores, seem delightful.
Im going to polish our silver now:)
Thanks for sharing.
Sharing is caring.❤
PS. Making this chicken dish tonight!
Kevin, your videos are always comforting and a joy to watch! Keep them coming!💖
What a beautiful time spent during a snowy day, the chicken dish looked delicious, and the silver wears are well polished .
Your garden looks so beautiful under all the snow. It's cold here, (Manchester, England) but we haven't had too much snow. I love your silver. I was fortunate to inherit a lot of silver and old ornaments etc. They're my prized possessions and will be divided between my three children when it's time to hand them over. I love that they've been handed down through four generations of our family. I'm very lucky in that respect. Oh and the stew looked great, will definitely be trying that. Thanks for posting. xxx
Kevin- You truly are an inspiration! I love your recipes, and genuine inspiration to everyday chores!
I don’t think I can articulate any better than what others are saying about you and your videos! I look so forward to them, so relaxing and comforting! You are the Mr. Rogers for us adults! Your voice is just as soothing, that was my favorite show as a kid, I’m dating myself, in my 50’s. 😂
I love your videos!! Love the snow , that’s when you can projects around the house.
Your garden looks magical. A true winter wonderland! I do miss a good snow!❄
I agree, silver adds a little something special to your decor. The chicken stew looked delicious and perfect for a cold snowy day. Thanks Kevin🙏❤️
Excited to try this stew on Saturday! I love cooking with some sort of white wine. My daughter made a yellow cake with sherry a few months ago. It was incredible!
Going outside to snip some forsythea branches. 14 days for blooms! I believe you Kevin. Northeast Ohio 28 degrees 6 inches of snow.
Красивое и уютное видео 😍😍😍
I never thought I could ever enjoy watching someone clean silver - who knew 😊. It is always a great pleasure when you post, I pause and make a lovely pot of tea in my best tea service, cups and saucers, sit and enjoy. I usually end up cooking after I have watched you and confess I make something from your cookbook or something from one of your videos, at least twice a week. So thank you most sincerely Kevin 💐.
That chicken stew looks delicious! Perfect for a cold snowy day. Cozy by the fire. I think I will make this today. Thank you.♥️
Hi Kevin, It is snowing where I live as well! A truly beautiful site today. I also cleaned my silver today before watching this! My silver has been in my family so I feel like I am the custodian of it until I pass it on. Thanks for the new recipe and your calming way!
So lovely Kevin! We inherited some incredible antique silver from my husbands grandparents and great grandparents (one of them died on Titanic!) We have a service for 18!!!! Enjoy.
