    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.

    I enjoyed that. I never thought of adding the lemon slices under the chicken skin, but I will now. You remind me I've wanted to get back to making soups like I once did, and simple ones, too. You deserve to be well over 100,000 subscribers by now.

    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 🌼

    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!

Beautiful. I will make today. Thank you for the wonderful mid summer dinner video. Take care.♥️💐🍋🍓

    Inspired by this, I ran to the market yesterday for ingredients for a late supper. Of course I couldnt find purple cauliflower, but I served the chicken ( which was very good) with au gratin spinach. 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! Thank you.

    Another fabulous one! Love the greenery from your garden that you used in your flower arrangement. Also love the star-like pieces -they really add an unusual visual. Really, you could fool everyone into thinking that you DO have professional training in flower arranging=well done! The soup looks divine! Trader Joe's carries prepackaged rainbow-like cauliflower with purple and other different colors. I've never purchased it and was wondering if it tastes different than plain white cauliflower so thanks for including a taste test! Best, from Colorado!

    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!!!
