    I modified the chicken a bit, but it was gorgeous. I marinated the chicken with salt, lemon juice, olive oil, paprika and herbs de provence. Upon recommendation I did stuff a lemon slice under the skin. Because it worked better with my other side, I cooked the chicken lower and slower (about 170°C for 50 mins). The chicken was unreal and the lemon slices were tender and totally edible. My roommate called it a triumph!
    I love your wonderful content, Kevin!

    Kevin, as always, you are the consummate Host, treating each dish with care and love for your guests.
    When I make my Panna Cotta, I drizzle some beautiful honey over them, which really elevates the taste. Thank you for your gentle spirit, food preparations, and lovely floral displays.

    Kevin, what a lovely flower arrangement, as are all of them you do! I grew up in my Grandmother & Aunt’s flower shop. I was 12 when they retired. Although t I did not have formal instruction, I watched carefully & with left over flowers, I did my best to copy their arrangement! I still visit that flower shop & have for 61 years! It smells amazingly the same. The long work table is the original table where all the arrangements were created. It is ephemeral art.
    Blessings 🌼

    Good Sunday afternoon Kevin. What a lovely simple dinner party. One aspect of your newly released videos I like, is that it compliments the seasons. You just bought that amazing purple cauliflower. Hoping to find it at our local farmer's market. When I lived in England, I was introduced to a new dish. It was a large head of cauliflow, gently steamed. The whole cauliflower was then placed on a large oval platter with high sides. The sides were lined with toast points. A gorgeous velvety cheese sauce was poured over the cauliflower and it pooled into the base. We were served hot tea in mugs and warm plates. You broke off a piece of cauliflower, set it onto the toast, to be dredged through the molten cheese sauce. All served by a cozy fire on a freezing, rainy March day. I never forgot it. Your dinner is smashing and I will be sure to try my luck at making every course. Cheers! ~ Diane

    I have always enjoyed arranging any kind of flowers!!! When I was growing up my maternal grandmother grew just about every flower imaginable!!! We always had fresh flowers in the house when they were in bloom. In the fall and winter she would go outside and cut magnolia, juniper or cedar boughs. She could grow the most beautiful azaleas, camellias, roses, gladiolus and zinnias I’ve ever seen-snapdragons, tulips, irises, dahlias, daffodils, you name it-if it would grow in central Georgia she had it in our yard!!!

I can't bring myself to eat chilled soup, but it was delicious served hot with some croutons. I didnt have time to make panna cotta, so i served a bakery cheesecake with strawberries. Big hit!
