Corned Beef Pasties and My Net Worth

- Gooday and hope you're well. Yes I did say in my last video that I'd be taking an extended leave of absence, possibly for the remainder of this year. However the simple truth is, I just can't stay away.
This is also due in no small part to a viewer who sent me a recipe for Corned Beef Hash Pasties. Obviously and especially as I'm unable to resist anything made with crispy puff pastry, I just had to make it for you.
This wasn't an easy thing to do though, as it's currently the autumn (fall) here in the UK - which means it's time for my old 'friend' Seasonal Adjusted Disorder (S.A.D.) to rear it's jolly head - and I discuss this briefly, in the video.
Later and with the pasties safely in the oven, I share with you some exciting and totally unexpected news, about my financial net worth . . .

Did you know I have a "Buy Me A Coffee" page buymeacoffee.com/countryhousegent Perfect for when you'd like to contribute to the channel, or simply want to buy me a coffee/pork pie/beer/lamb vindaloo (delete where applicable). Cheers,
Please do not "keep away" - your videos have been a bright light during a dark period in society.
Kevin, thank you for sharing your personal thoughts about how you feel and the way you deal with S.A.D. I think by giving the viewer insight on the differing ways you've attempted to engage with your mental health will perhaps help others who have the same issues. Anyway, thank you for your videos and wish you all the best.
Kevin, I just happened upon this past video and, as always, enjoyed you cooking. I must admit I had my doubts, as I've never seen corn beef hash inside a dough... but it all worked out. You made me laugh with the ketchup, as my brother, Peter, put ketchup on EVERYTHING. BTW, congrats on that unexpected $157,000,000. Don't spend it all in one place. Leigh
your net worth is the impact you have on your audience/friends. it's not a trivial impact, i've thought about life choices and directions in part to your travels and thoughtfulness. i'm positive this sentiment is not unique. if you want to talk about anything, i'm here to listen.
Agree.
Suffered the same modes all my life, good to know I'm not alone. I'm going to use that expression "Just Ticking Over" season's will soon change. I always pick myself up by thinking that others are in a worse situation than myself. Hopefully will see you on the cut at some point, as through you and others inspiration on YT I will be purchasing a narrow boat in the near future.
I have never made a cornbeef pasty but I did follow your pork pie recipe with a totally different outcome on several attempts. Stay Safe Kev
Hi Kev,thank you for the video I’ve struggled with S.A.D. Especially so since my wife lost her battle with a brain tumour,it’s ok to live alone ,I’m content with my own company however I can’t explain how difficult it is to get through this darkness,thanks for sharing your experience it’s great to know that it’s not just me and I’m not going nuts(hopefully)thanks mate.
I’m sorry for your loss. Sometimes being able to reach out over the world via social media is a life saver. If your ever lonely, reach out.
Your insights, humor and discussions are very light for the most part. But it’s your show, don’t let others dictate what you write and say in your “book of life” so to speak. Every person, each day, fights the internal battle of what they want to do and what they need to do. You have a very positive take on all.
Still enjoying the countryside and wildlife views. Gracias.
Many thanks Debra. You're quite right. Every aspect of life is trying to find a balance between what we want as individuals, and giving others what they want. It's one of the biggest suprises and challenges I've found since diving into fulltime filmmaking 5 years ago - pleasing my viewers but at the same time pleasing myself.
Seeing you pop up was like seeing an old friend. If I could draw a picture it would be me in my house with not another soul in sight, but snow covered ground for as far as the eyes can see and then suddenly you appear with a new recipe to share. Cheers Kev, so glad you stopped by.
I'm with you on the hibernating feeling. Always had it, got worse the older I get. I think it's perfectly natural. Goes back deep into our evolution. This time of year, and throughout the winter, food would have been scarce so preserving ones energy would have been the right choice.
There are also the things you can only enjoy this time of year, such as staring into the flames of a fire, not thinking of anything in particular. Snuggling under the duvet when the wind and rain is howling outside, and of course pasties.
Now we know your net worth, would it be a good time to ask if you could lend me a tenner?
Very true Mick. Only recently there's been research into it and it's believed our ancestors, as little as 400 years ago, used to essentially hibernate in the colder months and for the very reasons you give. Sorry but I had to give most of it away for emergency 'eye operations'. :D
tenner,000,000
A tenner? You think the man's made of money? He's only got 157 mil. Maybe spot you a fiver at best. How do you think he's managed to amass all that money.🙂
Glad to see you back and healthy Kevin hope all is well
Thanks for sharing Barry's cooking inspiration. (1) brush with beaten egg. Much nicer glaze than milk and you can add the remaining mix to the spare hash (2) Re-live WW2 by making rissoles with the left-over hash. Coat patties in bread crumbs and fry off when hunger calls. Greggs would be proud of you!
Love your candor. I too incubate in winter. But nature too rests, and so, perhaps, we need this time to reflect and gather strength for the coming months. Your pasties look delish.
Great to hear from you Kevin...........them pasties looked delicious...........I also go low when dark nights draw in.......I start doing my car drawings more and try and keep myself busy and have a plan in the winter months.........stay safe..........thanks for sharing
Great to see you and also here you talk so openly about mood / mental health. It's completely normal to be affected by the seasons!
I'm glad you came back. I miss your videos.
Great to see you again Kevin I hope you enjoyed your " break " from TH-cam , thanks for posting and keeping us entertained , I look forward to the next vlog whenever it maybe 👍👍
Thanks for sharing about SAD. We always know to do our best and wait it out 😏
I’ve lost track of you and miss your videos’s. I too witnessed your cornered beef hash episode with questionable taste. It was fun to watch and very funny. Thanks!
Hello from "deep east Texas". Was very pleased to see you back despite your previous announcement that you were taking time off. I really enjoy your vlogs showing your adventures and travels of places I will never see otherwise. Your personality is like traveling and conversing with a friend. We enjoy your segments for some authentic British home cooking for us to try in our homes. "
I see you use the same recipe I do for puff pastry, perfect every time! Good to see you, I hope we see more of you in the near future.
So good to see you! Thanks for breaking your leave of absence. S.A.D. is a real thing my father suffered from it and finally spent his winters in Florida then moved there full time. Sadly he only lasted about 1 year after the move, cancer got him. I do believe S.A.D. is partly from lack of sunshine and he was much better in Florida. Your regular Vlogs are missed, but take care of your self and we'll all be here when you come back. Sandy Dayton OH USA.
Congratulations on your newly acquired wealth! Fly on over to San Diego for a “Seasonal” boost to your health. ❤️ And thank you for this “bonus” video!
I agree Kevin, my son lived in San Diego. San Diego has a yellow feel, while here in Pennsylvania it’s gray.
@@skyer3894 Exactly! John Coleman RIP, would say '69 and fine' and we should send you an aloha shirt from San Diego...I'll brb...checking my net worth. CHEERS! It's great to see you!
Always good to see you Kevin! Is there someone from that website you can contact about helping you find all the money you've misplaced? 😁
lovely to see you....not watched it yet but so lovely x
In th U.P. of Michigan we have pasties....very similar to those in many varieties.
good to hear you mate keep it up happy Xmas see you soon
Its hard sometimes, but getting out and into the sunlight as much as possible this time of year is crucial.
Can’t wait to see more shows , from Chicago . 😀👍
I get that gloomy feeling in the winter here too . But funny when I visit
the inlaws in Ireland the weather don’t bother me ?
Cheers Kevin! Love to see you pop up in my feed!
Good to see you back 😊
Fabulous puff-pastry recipe Kevin!
Cut the onion with scissors. LMFAO
I'm guessing if you had 157 million net worth, prob wouldn't sweat that Bridgewater canal permit. Might be able to buy the Bridgwater canal even.
It's not the money, I wouldn't pay it on principle, Stuart. 😁
Nice one Kevin. My mouth was watering you lucky geezer. Soon be Spring and longer days
Cheers. Yes, if winter comes, can spring be far. 🙂
My sister suffers with SAD so I've an idea of what you're going through. Chin up mate, we all wish you well. The pasties looked DELISH! Looking forward to your next video, when you're ready. Take care. Brucie
Thank you Bruce.
Glad your back please don't go like the rest so intresting
Glad to see you back!!
More always welcome!!
Btw, could i borrow a couple million?
Would really offset supply chain delays 😅😅😂
Wonderful to see you!!
Still laughing from the ketchup "fart". lol
Kevin, hope you are well. Have a great holiday season! Looks like Temps are warm there about 12 C or 53 F. You could get out the Harley. Look forward to seeing you again. Take care. David
Very nice.
In the immortal words of Charles Bukowski...."Don't Try"
I'm glad you have explained the "Hash" episode .....I wondered about that quite a bit! Regards Chris.
Enjoyed. Your videos help us all get through the low of winter.
Just Awesome Kevin…………………
Looks Delicious 😋 Enjoy your downtime
Can’t wait to see your next creations 🎉
157 million, well you just never know. Laughed loud and long, unless you actually are worth 157 million.... For some reason that would not be funny. To use up leftovers my mother made fried corn beef hash out of slices of previously chilled hash.
Good to see you on screen Sir! I would think that with your newly-confirmed net worth ( no spoilers) you might simply hire a master chef to prepare your next round of hash! 😊
Best of luck to you in your endeavours, and thank YOU for helping me navigate through many dark evenings during the pandemic!
Ooh a personal chef, Brad. Now that's a fine idea, as long as they use stock cubes that is. :D
@@CountryHouseGent left handed Corned Beef Hash!
Your the greatest kevin thanks agian for the great video I wish I could do what I want too do like you living on the canal is great BUT COLD I couldn't do it my back is to bad
The episode where you threw the corned beef away was hilarious. Way to spoil it for me :). I love the creativity in your videos. Makes me wonder what your music would be like if you concentrated on that.
KEVIN I'm hungry now !!!! Just off to see what's in the pantry
Wow, that's a lot of coffee mugs and t-shirts to have sold. :) Hope your hibernation passes quickly, SAD is the pits.
If ya don’t like winters in the UK I’m sure £157 million is more than enough for a plane ticket to a Commonwealth in the Southern Hemisphere. You’ll be sure to soak up all the sun ya need down under this time of year. lol
Kevin, it's so good to see you back on the boat making comfort food. I'd be lying if I didn't wish you were here all through the Holidays with a check in or two, with some cooking and just chatting. It makes me feel sane, here in ATL GA USA. Reminds me of a few years ago, when I learned to make your toad in the hole and your bread pudding, which I continue to make! I've missed you cooking on the boat, though I liked your camping trip too. Stop in and hang out with us this winter!
Mello.. go with it! Probably natural. This is a GO! GO! world now I think people of old hibernate (not literally) in the winter.
You are so funny! Love your sense of humor! SAD here too.....thank you for being so real xo
Thanks Kevin for sharing your life. Watching your show just makes me feel good.
So happy to see you cooking again. I love watching you cook and you the first narrow boat I’ve watched. Thank you for sharing your story!!!
Call winter Blue's which I get same kind thing cannot be stuff doing much or maybe that 61 don't help to haha
Will travels ever return I miss it
I've no doubt it will.
@@CountryHouseGent I hope so it was a very big part of helping my recovery from being very unwell last Christmas and for that I will forever will be grateful
Kevin, you are such an awesome, relatable guy. You would be great to have as a neighbor. This time of year also gets me down. The sunlight and vitamin D regimen works well for me. Your videos always make me smile. Thanks for taking the time to produce them. If your ever in Charlotte, North Carolina in the US, I would like to buy you a pint.
Why do you feel every day has to be something new. Look around where you are, I’m sure there is something you missed.
My wife is a great corned beef and potato pasty maker, love 'em. If you have the freezer space you can freeze uncooked ones ready for later cooking. Oh yes, they're damned hot aren't they?
Thanks Kevin,
I loved this further insight to our personal similarities. You are a great guy and a good cook. Please take care of yourself this winter. There are a lot of us who really need you and your excellent work. We appreciate all that you do. Have a Happy upcoming Holiday season! Best regars,
I always love the cooking episodes. And this is a good excuse to go back to season 5, as well. All the best to you and have a happy Christmas.
I live in Arizona - USA. No SAD, just dehydration!! I did enjoy watching you making enough corn beef potato mash to feed an Army. 😂. All the while I was watching you slice and dice, I noticed you removed the microwave you never used and installed something else on that wall. Curious as to what that is. Soap dispenser? No, too far from sink! Hot water heater? Probably not! I’m puzzled. Enjoy your new found wealth, hope you continue your Vlogs.😎
Thanks for stopping by, Kevin. What a lovely surprise! I think SAD is understandable and part of life for many, so don't worry about us on top of that. I'm lucky, I have always loved autumn and winter and their dark, rainy days, as in my case they speak to the Romantic (not romantic LOL) side of my personality. Enjoy whatever you do and know we'll be here when you stop by again.
Glad to see you back. Loved the recipe. We used to make something similar in NC. We used crescent rolls and put a little horse radish with the corned beef. Very comforting food. In the fall I get a “nesting” vibe. I enjoy moving things around and decorating changes with what I have. I hope you nest and enjoy this time of year. Good time to get lost in a good book. Until next time…
Have you considered getting some plants, a fern perhaps.
In the U.S., SAD is Seasonal Affective Disorder.
In the winters, as an adult, I'd experience mild depression in the winter. Thought to be caused by insufficient light exposure, and Light Supplementation can be part of the Treatment, exposure to sunlight for the skin also produces Vitamin D.
I started taking 2000 IU vitamin D, once per day, year round (the more clothing one wears in the presence of sunlight, the less vitamin D is produced, so most of us never, really, have access to sunlight on sufficient areas of skin to make enough vitamin D).
It made a HUGE difference in SAD for me. 2000 IU is not a massive dose by any means, so for most it should be fine to take. For people with health issues, on medication, or advanced age, clear it with your doctor, pharmacist, or both, before taking it.
We bought an extra light this year, an LED array that reflects off the ceiling and adds brightness to the room. We use a 50/100/150 watt table lamp too. In the winter, it's incandescent, in the summer we switch it for the LED equivalent brightness.
SAD, been there, done that. Time flies the older you get, soon those winters will seem gone in the blink of an eye.
Great show, we've watched for sometime now. Appreciate your efforts.
well that answers the question, "do millionaires eat canned corned beef?" thanks
Your trouble vitamin D lack of…need one a day 2000iu sorted
I deal with SAD in the deep winter. Always have. I understand! Loved your Pasty segment. The best I ever had was in northern Michigan close to the Mighty Mackinaw bridge & Mackinaw island. I never realized how easy they were to make. Thanks for showing us how to do it! Enjoying season 9! Be well Kevin!
Shari from Indiana.
You're very welcome Jane. Yes they are very straightforward and you can fill them with whatever takes you fancy.
Make yourself a customized bike?
Fantastic Another Post from You Kevin😃.. Those Pasties Turned Out Lovely👍..From 🇺🇸👋
Good to see you for a bit ......those look so good ......take care matie .....I'm in Hibernation to.......stay safe ....xxxx
Glad to know you are okay. Wonderful job with the pies! Hope your creativity returns soon. Enjoy the down time.
You blaggard, you cheat ... i see what you have done :)
Merry Christmas take care there from Adelaide, Au
Great to see you again, liked the cooking segment. One of reasons why you're a must watch. Your street camera work is also very interesting and of course mainly your travelling journeys. Hope see more of your videos as soon as possible as they are most appreciated for their simplicity and honesty. A CHG calendar has been mentioned here as a possible suggestion to purchase. Best Regards Sean and Co.
Wow Kevin, those look absolutely fantastic. Just the sort of comfort food you need in the winter months. Well done 👍
Thanks Martyn. Yes, very comforting.
Nice to see you again, I live in central Maine and get the same feeling. I think I will make some Cornish pasties to quell my woes.
157 million, that should just about buy a gallon of fuel.
Hi Kevin, what a great surprise. Thank you for for sharing this recipe. I'm going to try it. But unlike you 😉I think I will buy my puff pastry. And I think I will add peas and carrots. Enjoy your hibernation. 🥰
Mmmm ,,,,,, Awesome !!!
I may be trying that at home soon !!!
I usually find corned beef briskets on sale and freezes them. I will pull one out and boil it for about 3 hours. Once done I cut off all the fat leaving just the meat. Then I finally chop the meat and let it sit overnight in the refrigerator. Then I follow your recipe in this video. It’s worth the extra work.
Orange County California here.........fire it up amd get to cruising. I love your travels and your cooking. I want to see you on the cut. One more thing, get a dog.........Kirk
Hey glad to have you back, Do you like the lanky so much your unlikely to leave and explore anywhere else, Stay safe keep blogging.
Always good to see how your doing👍 Thanks for the update
GREAT STUFF...and thanks to Barry for the motivation, sparse consolation I know but SAD gets to me this time of year and tried everything you have to no avail so just keep on chugging on...take care of yourself Kevin...BOB 😁👍
i ort to make a cornbeef hash pie this winter as my family love it.... :D
I think some brown gravy!
What, no garlic? Looks to me like its crying out for some!
Kevin I tried your recipe for the corned beef pasty. It's terrific! Love it. My wife made her own basic pasty as well. She loves it. Thanks from the States!
Cbeers. Yes they came out suprisingly well. 🙂
@@CountryHouseGent Reminded me of getting the recipe forms mom’s biscuits. Goes and gets out her big tin of self rising flour pulls the lid off and makes a “well” into the flour and said you take a handful of grease (shortening) and squish it in the flour like this. Then she started pouring in milk and said keep mixing in until it looks right. Never did get the “hang”
I feel ya with that Seasonal Thing! I miss the sun in the winter. Those pasties look amazing! I will be making them here in Virginia!
The internet and news channels are crap no wonder why I don't watch tv
Hi Kevin, Have only recently caught up with yourself and Aslan on Prime video, have watched the whole series and have throughly enjoyed it.I was wondering after seeing you on the Llangollen Canal,is it possible that you could wind you're way down to the Monmouthshire and Brecon canal and into South Wales, i believe the canal runs for thirty five miles,it would be great to see you back in South Wales..Keep well, and safe travels.
Thank you Graham. I hope to get back to cruising again in 2022.
@@CountryHouseGent Thank you for your reply kevin, great to hear you will be back cruising next year, i will watch out for you..Have a good christmas., catch you in the new year..
S A D . Ive been a sufferer for most of my life . the wife says I am solar powered . Stay well fella .
Thank your for all of your travels...We feel as is we are travelling with you.....Just finished the Leeds/Liverpool with you and as we live in Embsay, near Skipton, thoroughly enjoyed that episode....My wife has just said that you should write a cookbook!! Best Wishes Tricia and Neil.......
Thank you Neil and Mrs Neil. Season 4 and the Leeds Liverpool were my favourite canal and videos to do.
I have a bridge in the US I would like to sell you 😬
Looking bright eyed and bushy tailed, Kevin
Good to see you back for a few. Hope all goes well during this time of year.
corned beef slab i make, beautiful.
Good to see you back Kevin, I think there are many out there that simply want to hibernate ! I do 🙂 stay safe 😁
