    I am an older , single person living alone. All the recipes have helped me to take an interest in my health. It’s hard when one lived alone to be interested in cooking. Thanks for helping me tackle this.
    I have learned many new things about gardening, etc.
    Thanks for everything.
    You asked about markets. I live near Orillia, Ontario Canada. I enjoy getting fresh food and flowers. I am so lucky to live here and to have found you Mr. Jacobs on RUclips.
    God bless you.

    🌄 Good morning Kevin- Always a pleasure to watch you whip up a brunch. Crisp New Hampshire morning here.
    I am calling this ☕ coffee with Kevin. Currently reading The SWEETNESS of the BOTTOM of the PIE by Alan Bradley, who wrote his first mystery series when he was 70. It is set in an English village in 1950. I mention this, not only to say the novel is excellent, but to talk about 1950, my birth year. Reading Bradley's story reminded me of how different life was 73 year's ago, minus all the technology clutter and loss of the genteel side of life. Life was straight forward and full of exquisite details, showcasing the art of the household, cooking foods with friends & family. Zen & the Art of Adding a Touch of Elegance to One's Routine.
    I buy those gorgeous croissants at Cosco. They are flaky and buttery and freeze well. That 🍓 strawberry butter looks wonderful! Make no mistake, we are working farmers. There is that side to our existence, but still room for 🍐🍇🍐🍴🍸🍸 🍴 good china and a glass of wine. Thanks for sharing this beautiful brunch! ~ Diane

    You made me laugh so much when you were talking about the chickens, very funny! The food looks wonderful and the flower arrangement was gorgeous. I was horrified by how much you're paying for croissants. They're no where near that price in the UK. But they did look delicious. Thank you for posting, your vids always leave me feeling so relaxed.

Yum, yum! Beautiful table. Kudos.

I couldn't stop laughing about the chickens. Thank you for inviting me to your beautiful brunch. You really inspire me. Just a little note on how to easily remove a piece of eggshell if it happens to fall into your dish - The easiest way is to take a piece of an eggshell and scoop it out. My dad told me this trick and it really works. The bit of eggshell seems to gravitate to it's host (where it came from). So glad to have found your videos. They truly make me feel happy! Love, from your Canadian friend.

    My sister and I used to go to Empire casino in Yonkers NY a few Sunday mornings every month. We would start with a Bloody Mary before our slots play. They used Ocean Spray tomato juice and it made the best Bloody Mary I ever tasted. You can’t get it in the store but it was so delicious. We would only spend an hour play a hundred dollars and we usually won. Then it was off to brunch at one of our favorite restaurants
