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,
What I love about you cooking is that it really is how most of us cook. We’re not G.R. or J.O. We do with what we have and go basic a lot of times. Simple cooking gear and not a lot of extra faff. Thanks for all of what you do.😊👍
I learned how to make egg omelette s watching u😊!. U should also, please, take us far walks when u have errands like grocery shopping. So we can see other things. The whole enchilada. Experience everything. Just saying from across the big pond here in Texas.
Bravo, cheers, and huzzah for your explanation of referring to Aslan as a person. That's the way it has been and always should be. A boat or ship that takes good care of you while you are taking care of her deserves nothing else. Treat her like an "inanimate object" and she'll quit on you when you need her most. That's from a career sailor. Welcome to the brethren CHG!
@@CountryHouseGent That was over 20 years ago for me. Wife and i feel that you and Aslan help us thru "The Sea of Madness" that find ourselves in today. Thanks.
You did an excellent job of explaining how and why those of us that live or have boats talk about them as she and I. You are spot on when you said - when you live on a boat you realize that it has a personality and a soul - very well said.
Great answer on the me/I issue. Perhaps it's just me, but I found the most facinating part of that discussion was the fact that it was brought up at all! Carry on, and keep being you!
I just had to smile when you said “Aslan has a soul,” I could not agree more. Now for going to get the ingredients for cottage pie, it has been too long since I had some 😎
Traveling and living in my 1961 Avion camper (the iron fireman) for 10 years, I can totally relate to the vessel that allows you to travel and protects you as having a soul.
Kevin, I’m looking forward to season 9, one of the things I like best about the show is that you just ramble from time to time. I kind of feel like we are having a conversation. Cheers
I have just sold my beloved narrowboat 'KES' and it does feel like I am selling a pet....they do have a heart and soul and she protected me for 4 yearswhile I sorted my life out. I will always thank her for that.
Well done on your take on shepherd pie I shall make one tomoz with my turkey mince looks yummie and you speak how you want we al no you right all boats etc are female tcnow see unexpected time the oldies 👋👍🤗
Great looking cottage pie, stay warm and hope you break free soon. Aslan is a sailor's wife and deserves all the respect and proper English that any faithful partner does, that from a shipbuilder, driver and nautical person for over 40 years. Have a great day.
It always amazes me that some people take umbrage about things, it seems rude to me to say to educate yourself, seriously. It’s always such a pleasure to see you, good old shepherds pie yummy. Hope to meet you on the cut one day 👍xx
Nice seeing. Aslan hope she hasnt been skating on the ice😄 nice cottage pie. As for grammer.well at 73 im just trying to remember words 😄😄 loved you saying. Aslan has soul. Like that enjoy your day
Thank you for the great vlog, Kevin. My wife and I listened in dismay at the elocution lessons, and when you had finished your explanation, we both said in unison "good for you". Some people...
It is quite like a shepherds pie i guess. Looks so good. Not a ton of difficult prep, pretty fast in execution, and good, simple, comfort food on a chilly day. No rules to it, throw in anything you like, lots of variations as you say. Perfect as all your cooking spots are. 11:30 am here in Vegas, i am going to rummage around the pantry and freezer's here shortly. I have potatoes, carrots, onions, no turkey burger or mince as you brit's call it, but i have some hamburger or beef mince i guess, no oxocubes, but i have some beef boullion in powder form, and it's only warmed up to 50F here today. I have similar weather and all the fixin's. Guess what i am conjuring for dinner tonight? Thanks for that inspiration Kevin!😀
Strictly speaking shepherds pie should be made with lamb and cottage pie with beef. But really who cares as long as you enjoy it and/or you don't have food intolerances or allergies to any of the ingredients!😃😃
@@pilpelet100 Yeah i know, twas why i said like rather than the same as lol I just got the prep work all done and ready to go for my creation for tonight, firing up the oven and the skillet in 30 minutes here. Can't wait!! :)
Hi Kevin 👋 just us 2 saying hi 👋 great video update as always 👍 I like winter for all my wife home made cooking 👋 keep safe say well say warm 👍den and sue 👍👍👍🚌🚌🚌🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
I sit with my laptop in front of my extremely comfortable leather chair doing all and sundry....And then your notification pops up....Looking forward to season nine.....Neil and Mrs Neil......
I so enjoy the cooking sessions. Steaming the carrots and boiling the potatoes using the same heat source is absolutely brilliant. Your potato masher is amazing - a true masher!! Also, your thoughts about Aslan as a living being is so beautiful and the idea of saying "Aslan and Me" sounds like fingernails on a chalkboard. Arrrgggg! Thrilled with this video - thank you! Becky W.
This is to let you know that today, Sunday, I have made a spaghetti bolognese using turkey mince instead of beef mince as mentioned in your vlog. I have to admit it's rather nice, so thank you.
Thank you for showing us all how you make cottage pie. I am encouraged to try it myself now. You make it look so uncomplicated & delicious! Greetings from the USA!
Good to see another cooking episode. Thanks. Here in the Colonies we call it Shepherds pie. My mother always made it with a layer of ground (minced) beef, a layer of corn and topped with the mashed potatoes. Looking forward to more.
Ummm Good! And I'm hungry. Some boats seem to develop a soul, If you've cruised 'em, had adventures aboard that are good or bad, but got through; while they kept you whole, then the boat develops a soul. Just touching the wheel or tiller you can feel it. Looking forward to season 9!
Hi Kevin! I learned something today. I was unaware of the distinction one should make, in respect to the use of "I," with inanimate objects and people. What a mouthwatering bit of culinary loveliness that shepherd's pie. Thank you for sharing the preparation with us. Cheers!
Winter warming food! Looks delicious Kevin. Hope it thaws for you soon and you can get under way. We’ve had quite a bit of snow here on Skye this winter. Talking of food we had a Burns three course luncheon here on Wednesday. Very tasty, with lots of craic and laughter. ❤
I think that cottage pie is also known as shepherds pie depending where one lives (in the UK) here in Argentina there is a version known as Pastel de Papa which translates to Potato Cake. The only significant difference it that it usually contains some green olives and some chopped hard boiled eggs.
Enjoying this journey with you and having recently taken over most of the cooking in our house I've found your style of cooking enjoyable interesting inspirational relaxing ,I feel I can taste the food through the screen lol . Amazing lol thanks Keith.
Superb filming and commentaries Kevin. I am very pleased to see and hear the good news that you're doing well. Frozen means no fuel boat I trust you have enough coal and gas to survive on ! Your cooking recipes sound really tasty, simple ingredients cooked well. Keep safe warm dry and virus free. Safe Cruising when the thaw comes along.
Kevin glad to see you again...I could smell that cottage pie clear over here in the USA lol 😆 sure did look good tho... going to make that sometime...going to have a snow storm Wednesday all day ...cottage pie will be good that day..😋.Have a great week!!
Well Kevin , I have got some mince out of my freezer this morning to make a spaghetti bolognaise and you made my mouth water this afternoon and I am now making a cottage pie 🤗🤗 Thankyou for the inspiration 😂 I love your cooking vlogs ❤ have a lovely rest of the week 💕👍
Thanks Kevin, for this great cooking vlog, I also use turkey mince and sometimes chopped turkey breast for Chillis and Currys and also use beef oxo to add flavour and hide the turkey tang. Take care and all the best. Stevie
@@CountryHouseGent it is Groundhog Day here. I'm sure that those chubby little furballs are all elated to share your special day. I miss groundhogs, which I grew up with in upstate New York, here in Texas. :)
Happy Birthday, Kevin! I enjoy keeping up with your adventures and happily await every video. Keep chugging along and take care. :^D Rodney Scarborough, St. Louis, Missouri, The States
Your meal looks good. Being American and Southern…Add cheese on top or add some horseradish in the potatoes. Get a little spicy. Yum…enjoy, stay warm, be safe and enjoy!
Thanks for the vlog Kevin. The scoff looked great, I'll have to give turkey mince a try. Oh and I can't wait to hear the new theme tune. Cheers till next time 👍👍
Loved the cooking lesson. It was great seeing you on TH-cam. Watching your videos is like having a visit from a friend. You have kept both me and my wife sane during insane times. Always love people reaction to see me wear your pork pie t-shirt. Your Oregon friends.

Lovely and warming food in the winter good luck getting free fom the ice on the canal Kevin all for now
Ever thought of writing a CHG COOKBOOK? We can all learn from your recipes and style! Can’t wait for your new travels.
I was thinking the same thing. A CHG COOKBOOK would be great!

I love Kevin's gentle sigh when not answering inane questions.

I agree with you about Aslan having a soul! I’m glad you have such a good friend with you. And she has such a good friend with her.

Love love your explanation of using “I” with Aslan. Our homes and dwellings do have a soul. It’s what makes our homes special.
Kevin, I’m looking forward to season 9, one of the things I like best about the show is that you just ramble from time to time. I kind of feel like we are having a conversation. Cheers
Ha, cheers James. Then you're in luck - plenty of rambling to come. :)
That cottage pie looks really scrummy!!!!!! Cheers👋👍
