    Kevin opens himself and his home and life up to us in friendship. How gracious and thoughtful is that? These days, so many are selfish, unwilling to do for others, and Kevin just lives such a way of giving in everything he does. Kevin, if you see this, please know that we all appreciate you.

      Mmmmm......idk about everyone else being selfish. I work with some pretty decent ppl at Foodbanks and other charity organizations who care a whole lot! I believe if we surround ourselves with positive ppl, our lives become more enriched. I stay away ( or try) from negative influences in my life. I choose not to put my life online, though. Even still, I try to be a positive influence in the world even if no one else knows. I know alot of ppl like that.

    Dear Kevin, I have to confess: being an English teacher I'm frequently (and selfishly) using your videos for my lessons. As here I combine my aesthetic pleasure with your perfect pronunciation and refined wording. Saves me a lot of effort) Today's episode is another gem I'm going to share with my students. Thank you so much! Looking forward to your next masterpiece.

    Hi Kevin. I just love the walks in your beautiful garden and seeing the seasons change. I have two quick tips for you; 1. Use a shower cap to cover your bowls, they are reusable and no fuss. 2. Cut ends off lemons before putting in squeezer so they go in flat top. I have arthritis in hands and this makes it easier to squeeze. Love the music, such a great treat.

    Hello Kevin...Next time you come over to Chatham,you should go to the Co-Op that is on Route 203. It is almost across the street from the Stewarts by the fairgrounds. My good friend is part owner of it. I think that you would like it. It is local grown food.
