Oh Eliott you look so much better m'dear & you both seem so excited about your future adventures. Cannot wait for you to update us when possible. The garden is looking lovely, Matt's cooking looks delicious & so does your baking Eliott 😋 Take care both, love & hugs from Leicester xx
Thanks for your kind message❤ mum hopefully is going into respite on Tues for 10 days. I have bad infection in scar so not happy at the moment. Your looking a lot better love to all of you xxx
We have Kraft Italian blend cheese that I use when making lasagna. There are 6 different cheeses, all white cheeses. I then use sharp chedder too. Brown 1lb ground round, add spaghetti sauce and simmer 20 minutes. In a 13x9 inch pan put a small amount of sauce in pan, layer lasagna noodles, spread a large spoonful of sour cream on noodles, put some sauce over that, cover with cheeses, then another layer of the noodles and repeat until sauce is gone, top with italian cheese and bake 350 degrees for 20 minutes. My grandkids request it often. Best leftover. Your garden is gorgeous, wodh i could show you my pink roses, OMG they have exploded and wont stop. Buds everywhere!! You are both wonderful and beautiful, together you make the perfect ONE. Lost my hisband after 29 years, trust me, time goes so fast. All you can do, is love hard with all of your heart and soul. ❤😊
Hello Matt &Elliot , I recently found you , I'm a Mum of 2 adult Children and a fresh Granny ,I must say I think you are such a lovely couple ,the most sweetest I've ever seen ,I love the way you always see the good thinks in life ,even if it's terrible sometimes , I love watching your videos ,and the bond between you two.lots of love from Hamburg ,Erika &Uwe❤
What a feisty little lamb Beau is. I hope his little leg recovers fully soon! My girl cats perked up from their nap time and starting blinking slowly upon hearing his voice on the video 😽
The first purple flower (which had lots of individual flowers on it) is a Delphinium and the second is a verbena. When the delphinium is over you can cut the flower spike right back to the ground and it might send up more flowers but do not cut the verbena as it doesn’t produce more flowers if you cut it. You want to cut it right back to the ground in Feb/March but leave the seed heads for wildlife over winter ❤
Dear ones, E and M, just so you know, your videos are helping me get through difficult times. They are a respite. Bless you and yours always. Glad you are flying into Boston. It’s a good place and you can say GAY there, unlike in Florida now. Keep on doing what you do ❤
I absolutely LOVE your vlogs! I could listen to you talk ALL DAY!!!!! I was so sad that your bread wasn't toasted! 😤 The garden is lovely! And I can't wait to 'go with y'all' on another cruise!!!! 😃
Keep posting...... You reflect every day life in suburbia, or should it be how to navigate life in the automated, digital age... I think you have a really good thing going....Love you guys....
been praying for your recovery!!! it took my brother around a month, maybe 6 weeks to totally recover. never has had a recurrence. PR is beautiful. beaches AND mountains!!! and can't wait to hear about the new adventure, and congrats on the tomatoes.
I'm so happy you've recovered from Bell's Palsy without any lingering effects. Was that lasagna Matt made? I put mozzarella in when I'm layering the meat and ricotta cheese. Then, I put grated parmesan cheese on top. Exciting things coming up, hmm? Happy for you! See you!
Your garden is beautiful Elliot. The lasagna meal looked delicious. I was hoping to see the chips :( I think selling real estate is in your future. Have a great week :)
Great vid! ❤ your garden and the tomatoes! Your face looks great, just remember to get your rest and make time for yourself to relax, especially as you get busier and busier. Take care!
Oh YUM...... That Lasagne looked amazing!!! As for the cheese topping I do a 45%/45% mix of Mozzarella and Cheddar and 10% Parmesan just for a bit of extra tang!! here in Aus we can buy it packaged and ready grated. For an easy clean of the tray after it overflowed out of the pan - my lazy clean up hint is put a sheet of baking paper on the tray so that most of the overflow lands on the paper then you don't need to do a huge scrub to clean the tray. ps Your garden is looking beautiful. The Sweet Peas are adorable.
Your garden is lovely!!! So glad your face has recovered, Elliot!! I had a pretty severe case of Bell’s Palsy long ago and when I’m very tired the affected side of my face will sag slightly. So glad you’re doing well and recovered so quickly! Loved seeing the ducks again!!! I’ve missed them.♥️
Wow that lasagne was huge! It looked tasty. It's lovely to hear and see that you are feeling better Eliot. You both deserve a lovely holiday, I can't wait to see your vlogs on this cruise. Congratulations on your new adventure! 😊 X
Hi guys from NYC!! Love how your garden is looking and that Matt’s lasagna looks so tasty!!! Just a suggestion after i heard you mention you may want to put a limelight hydrangea by the fence. We planted a ton of them and they have an issue of flopping over big time. We changed them out and replaced them with Little Lime Hydrangeas which have same type of flower and grow 3-5 ft tall and are more woody and sturdy to support the flowers. Not sure if this helps but good luck! : )
It’s lovely to see you doing so much better. I love the cats and your garden! 🥰 ETA: The lasagne looks *good* (and I’m not a lasagne fan or really even that into food!) While I do love the tanginess of cheddar, I do think it’s a bit oily for lasagne; mozzarella has just the right fat content and makes a nice crust when baked on top. … Also, your veggies look good!! Here on Vancouver Island, our small tomatoes have been ripening for several weeks, but then we’ve had our usual summer drought, with daytime temperatures between 20-25c and mainly sun, so…🤷🏻 (it’s a Mediterranean climate) We have lots of fresh basil, too, and it’s so good with tomatoes 🤤 ❤ to you both!! :)
Morning guys, Matt made me laugh so much when he said we are going to the diet shop , love that , so excited for the new venture, well deserved, Sending you both lots of love xxx
Great video and so excited for the new venture! The future is definitely looking bright!!! I live 45 minutes from Boston. If there’s time, venture out to Fanuiel Hall (Quincy Market). It’s shops and food. Historic also!! Best wishes from across the pond❤❤❤
OMG! You guys are visiting Old San Juan on my beautiful, Puerto Rico. I will email you a few suggestions of places to eat and see! The garden is looking stunning.🌸🌼🪻🌺🌹
Elliot I could listen to you talk all day. I’m so chuffed for you. You look your usual self again. I can only imagine it must have been pretty scary for you. Loving your recipes even though you cheated a little. 😂
Hi guys that is not a weed its a flower its called verbena i have loads of them in my garden they can grow really tall better if there is more of them dotted all around he garden 🏡
I am in agreement with Matt's Dad - you do need to keep your edges trimmed Elliot, and your limp stems erect and staked. And while I am here, I must say, like Molly, I do like to get into a little cat nip once in awhile. I do get a little anxious when Elliot says he is going to do a bit of baking.

Thank you Jen! Hope you both are back to normal soon too. Sending love xxxx
What a beautiful place to live,a beautiful couple with a beautiful home and beautiful cats❤❤❤
If you take the lower leaves of your tomatoes off it will increase the airflow and help the trusses above to ripen quicker.
The purple plant is Verbena Bonariensis. I have it at the back of my border. It dries beautifully for floral arrangements

That mystery plant is Verbena Bonariensis and it’s such a gorgeous plant plus it’s perennial. You can grow more from cuttings.

The garden looks amazing Elliot and Matt you are a fine cook. You both are wonderful🥰 Have fun guys and enjoy your week. Love to you both💕
Wow, Matt has gone from never having had lasagna to making it every week now! He must like it, I would say.
What a feisty little lamb Beau is. I hope his little leg recovers fully soon! My girl cats perked up from their nap time and starting blinking slowly upon hearing his voice on the video 😽
You guys are fun! I like to travel with you and see what you have for dinner. Your baking looked great, Elliot!
Verbena Bonariensis is a border plant Elliot, it grows very tall , butterflies and bees love it. 🥰🇬🇧
The first purple flower (which had lots of individual flowers on it) is a Delphinium and the second is a verbena. When the delphinium is over you can cut the flower spike right back to the ground and it might send up more flowers but do not cut the verbena as it doesn’t produce more flowers if you cut it. You want to cut it right back to the ground in Feb/March but leave the seed heads for wildlife over winter ❤
The purple plant is Verbina. It's a perennial. Your garden is looking lovely. I'm still waiting for any sign of a tomato!
Great vlog as always. So glad your face is almost better, and good luck with your new business ventures 🤞 🍅 😻
I know you shouldn’t have favourites, but I still love Beau 🤗 Good luck with your new ventures

Love the duck analogy that you made at the start of the video - I often feel the same! Love your videos!

Hello 👋
Love seeing you guys up and about!😊
Hi Elliott and matt just to say your little mystery purple plant is a Verbena 😊 very pretty.
Your baking looks fabulous! So effortless!
Garden looking lovely
Logan airport in Boston is 4hours from New York.
My bad. lol
¡Buen viaje! 🤩
Stilton with everything ❤
On top of my lasagna I combine mozzarella, cheddar and Parmesan. The best of all cheese.
Your garden looks lovely!!
The plant is verbena
The tall, lone, purple flower looks like a Scabious.
Fruit leaf looked yummy
Ohhh i need cake now 😂 can we have the recipe please for your lasagna it looks so nice. ❤
I love the burnt bits 👍😆 west u

🤣Oh, dear Elliot, Boston is so far outside of NY. Boston is in New England, specifically Massachusetts. I think you'll like Puerto Rico.
Great vlog, 😊
Hi guys that is not a weed its a flower its called verbena i have loads of them in my garden they can grow really tall better if there is more of them dotted all around he garden 🏡
Do your cats stay in the garden or do they go travelling further? ❤
Can we get a grass edging tutorial from Matt’s dad please ? X
Do your cats go out out, or do they stay within the garden?
No extractor fan in the bathroom ?? I never seen this in a hotel room 😳 That's really a bad point !
Add Mashed Banana to Bread or Cake Mix?
OMG Hexy was watching Rory intently ❤
She likes a big boy! 🐱
I put mozzarella and Parmesan on my lasagne
Oh you have 3 cats? I thought you only had Beau😊
Molly, Rory and Beau.
Elliot, the lasagna, you are so, so naughty!😮
Does Rory ever look for Brian? I know they were best buds. 🐈🐈
We put feta, mozzarella, cheddar, cheese in our lasagna. The cheese the better.
Our tv asks if we are still watching and if we don’t cluck yes then the tv channel clicks off.
Do you ever see Brian the cat?
Cucumber with chips?????
On a kebab 🤣
@@ElliotNMatt ahhh I see!!!!
I am in agreement with Matt's Dad - you do need to keep your edges trimmed Elliot, and your limp stems erect and staked.
And while I am here, I must say, like Molly, I do like to get into a little cat nip once in awhile.
I do get a little anxious when Elliot says he is going to do a bit of baking.
I get anxious when he bakes too 😅
@@mattw5364 lol
@@mattw5364 😆
Is cat nip a drug for cats very bad
No, not bad at all.
