I loved the impromptu concert for the houseplants. 😂 And thanks for showing us how to clean oven racks. It never occurred to me to remove them and give them a good soak. And the basil salt is brilliant !I learn so much from you. Thanks for a peaceful start to the weekend. Much love to you and your adorable and equally entertaining four-legged companions. ❤

I have been enjoying your videos for a couple of years. I have been healing from developmental trauma and your videos are a part of that healing. I work with a therapist doing inner child work. When I had to think of someone who represents a loving parent, the only person I could think of was Mr. Fred Rodgers. When I think of him I am calm. Now I have another example of a loving person-You. Thank you for being you.

Flies are such a nuisance. I remember an elderly lady who I used to go and have afternoon tea with. Well, she suggested that if you open the window and turn off the lights then say to the fly could you please leave as I didn't invite you here and you are not welcome. She swore by this method 😂 though it didn't work for me. 💕

Dear Kevin, Today's video is "The Bomb!" That means that you have out-done yourself, a really big compliment, you were even more precise than usual! It looks like yall are having nice weather over there where you're at. And the "drive" to the store was even more beautiful than ever. The back ground music was special too. Trust me, in this video, I can tell, that you will not be "under sold"! Meaning, that you are always going to maintain your position as first!! Every move you make is carefully measured, and seemingly premeditated, and exact! It is a turn-on. And I did notice all of the special things, and treats that you know I like, that mean alot to me!! I felt like I needed to "excuse" myself! Kevin, you scare me and excite me at the same time.

Hi Kevin. Learned lot today. I've never thought of basil salt thank you. My mother gave me a prayer plant when I was young. It sat by my bed many years always closing at nightfall. One day after many years it bloomed pretty delicate flowers. I was so surprised. It smelled like sweet perfume.

Dear Kevin, before you heat your oven, remove the racks you don't need and those you do need cover them with aluminium foil so your racks stay clean, prefenting them to get dirty is the best option IMHO ;-) Take care and stay safe, Vleer from the Netherlands. 🙂

When I make my basil paste, I pop in some salt too. Then put it all in a jar m, topped with oil to prevent spoilage. I use a teaspoon at a time n keep the basil covered in oil at all times. Mine keeps for years in the fridge. Tasty on fresh tomato slices on toast. I LIVE watching your channel, Kevin. Biggest of hugs to you.
