    I haven't met you in person, so I will reference you as Mr. Jacobs; I wanted to let you know, that your kindness and gentle way of sharing your recipes and decor ideas are such a blessing to watch, very peaceful, thank you. It's refreshing watching such a compassionate, thoughtful host. Thank you, Dotti

    The cocktail was amazing. I substituted frozen berry mix for blueberries. I used gin instead of bacardi and added just a touch more simple syrup. My inner circle called and wanted the recipe after seeing the drink in a beautiful crystal martini glass. We ate the berry mixture residual in the glass with a dessert spoon before refilling. Great job Kevin. You are amazing!

    You’ve inspired me.
    I had left over rice pilaf. It sat for two days. I needed a side dish.
    Here’s what I came up with. Rice, English cucumber, cherry tomatoes, pinch of fresh garlic, crumbled feta cheese,chopped walnuts. I drizzled with a splash of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Chilled for an hour or so.
    Served with fresh Ling Cod we caught in British Columbia. Perfect.

    I have never had Jalapeño poppers, will definitely try this appetizer. Avery assisting was adorable. Binky and Goldie, such fun.
    I need that veggie chopper, thank you for sharing the link. The sky was so beautiful on the way to the flower store. Kevin, you have educated me on so many flowers. I purchased and absolutely love sweet pea, the fragrance is lovely. I don’t drink alcohol ; however, the drink is so attractive. I can make this without the rum. Your videos are the very best part of the week. ❤😊

    I like fresh flowers. I either pick them or buy them. My arrangements are terrible, until now! I like you basic instructions on arranging. Now, jalapeños! Not something I mess with often. I will however, give your recipe a try on your word alone. It’s good enough for me. I also see pita bread appetizer pizzas in my future. Very inspiring as usual.

    Wow, you gave me some great ideas, thank you! Also, the way you arrange flowers always makes my heart happy. I've not been able to go outside and garden for almost two years, but so enjoy looking at flowers. I hope that by next year, I will continue to improve enough to go outside. Also, I noticed you got a hair trim a little while ago, looks really nice. Take good care, Kevin and any friends here reading this.

    Oh my goodness, Avery, the Quality Control Inspector 😂, how cute she is. Binky and Goldie, the playful sweet babies playing Catch Me if You Can on their beautiful, big staircase. Kevin, your flower arrangement is an instant joyful vision of lovely color, and the Zinnias on the countertop have remained gorgeous for over a week!! I want to make your appetizer nibbles for my husband. He will love those. However, the Blueberry Mojito looks so fantastic that I have already spread the word to my daughters about it. I can not wait to have one of those! .... or two. Many thanks ❤

    Wonderful summer cocktail party menu. Yay! The blueberry mojito looks delicious and satisfying. Beautiful to look at too. I will have to try. Jalapeno poppers are a favorite but I have never attempted to make at home. Now I know how. Pita pizzas look good too, and easy to make. The skewers round out the menu. Lovely summer garden bouquet, as though you just gathered from the garden. The purple zinnia bouquet is quite stunning in the kitchen. Fun to see Avery helping with the food prep. She's a trooper. And of course that cat fight on the stairs always exciting to see them ruling the staircase. Thank you for the video. Take care and enjoy your Sunday. See you next time.♥️🐕🐈‍⬛🐈🫑🍅🥓🍕🍢🌱🫐🍸💐

    Love all your nibbles. I do enjoy food on a skewer. My fave in the summer is fruit and cheese. Grapes with Swiss cheese, blueberry with a mild cheese. You can make broken ice by placing an ice cube in your palm, wack it with a table (or soup) spoon. Works like a charm.

    14:09 -- I made a pita pizza (August 5, 2024). I prefer a thin-crust pizza, and the pita pizzas met that preference perfectly: a light snack instead of a heavy meal. Henceforth whenever I have a hankering to nibble on pizza, I'll make a pita pizza.
