    I really love your piano playing. I lived in an apartment in an old house years ago and often had the windows open where I could hear the neighbor playing classical piano every day. It made for a lovely and peaceful, slow living kind of day. It was like a stealth eavesdropping gift. 😊 Thanks for sharing your gift with us! 🥰

    Kevin, I LOVE all of your videos, activities and Recipes! As I am a very OLD cook with a lot of years baking/cooking professionally, I want to make one simple suggestion. NEVER break the egg directly into the bowl you are mixing in, always in another small bowl just in case. This can prevent a horrible experience just in case there could be one bad egg. Thanks so much for alll the work you do sharing your lovely life and home with us. Cheers from Barcelona.

      Oh well yes. I use duck eggs a lot for cooking and chicken eggs, and duck eggs and guinea hen eggs all come with a rotten one every 100 or 200 eggs so it’s always worth having that little extra bowl to the side. Hovering over a whole bunch of ingredients or even one important ingredient is not what we dare to do in our old age.

    When I need to chill from the stress of living in the 21st Century, I switch Kosher, cosy Kevin on and immediately feel relaxed, calm and reassured, as he goes about doing his chores, shopping, in idyllic locations, cultivating his beautiful, spacious garden.
    Then baking a delicious Lavender cake to round it all off with some aromatic Tea, after a relaxing piano practice session 😊😅. C'est la vie a la maison de Maestro Kevin. Merci Beaucoup 👏 🎉
