Corned Beef Pasties and My Net Worth
Vložit

- Gooday and hope you're well. Yes I did say in my last video that I'd be taking an extended leave of absence, possibly for the remainder of this year. However the simple truth is, I just can't stay away.
This is also due in no small part to a viewer who sent me a recipe for Corned Beef Hash Pasties. Obviously and especially as I'm unable to resist anything made with crispy puff pastry, I just had to make it for you.
This wasn't an easy thing to do though, as it's currently the autumn (fall) here in the UK - which means it's time for my old 'friend' Seasonal Adjusted Disorder (S.A.D.) to rear it's jolly head - and I discuss this briefly, in the video.
Later and with the pasties safely in the oven, I share with you some exciting and totally unexpected news, about my financial net worth . . .
--------------------
If you'd like to contribute to my channel and future videos, then I have a PayPal Me page. Cheers, www.paypal.com...
All 6 seasons of Travels By Narrowboat are available to stream on Amazon Prime, with Season 7 here on CZcams.
www.amazon.com...
Please do not "keep away" - your videos have been a bright light during a dark period in society.
Kevin, thank you for sharing your personal thoughts about how you feel and the way you deal with S.A.D. I think by giving the viewer insight on the differing ways you've attempted to engage with your mental health will perhaps help others who have the same issues. Anyway, thank you for your videos and wish you all the best.
Seeing you pop up was like seeing an old friend. If I could draw a picture it would be me in my house with not another soul in sight, but snow covered ground for as far as the eyes can see and then suddenly you appear with a new recipe to share. Cheers Kev, so glad you stopped by.
Hello from "deep east Texas". Was very pleased to see you back despite your previous announcement that you were taking time off. I really enjoy your vlogs showing your adventures and travels of places I will never see otherwise. Your personality is like traveling and conversing with a friend. We enjoy your segments for some authentic British home cooking for us to try in our homes. "
Hi Kev,thank you for the video I’ve struggled with S.A.D. Especially so since my wife lost her battle with a brain tumour,it’s ok to live alone ,I’m content with my own company however I can’t explain how difficult it is to get through this darkness,thanks for sharing your experience it’s great to know that it’s not just me and I’m not going nuts(hopefully)thanks mate.
I’m sorry for your loss. Sometimes being able to reach out over the world via social media is a life saver. If your ever lonely, reach out.
Thanks for sharing Barry's cooking inspiration. (1) brush with beaten egg. Much nicer glaze than milk and you can add the remaining mix to the spare hash (2) Re-live WW2 by making rissoles with the left-over hash. Coat patties in bread crumbs and fry off when hunger calls. Greggs would be proud of you!
your net worth is the impact you have on your audience/friends. it's not a trivial impact, i've thought about life choices and directions in part to your travels and thoughtfulness. i'm positive this sentiment is not unique. if you want to talk about anything, i'm here to listen.
Agree.
Suffered the same modes all my life, good to know I'm not alone. I'm going to use that expression "Just Ticking Over" season's will soon change. I always pick myself up by thinking that others are in a worse situation than myself. Hopefully will see you on the cut at some point, as through you and others inspiration on YT I will be purchasing a narrow boat in the near future.
I have never made a cornbeef pasty but I did follow your pork pie recipe with a totally different outcome on several attempts. Stay Safe Kev
Glad to see you back and healthy Kevin hope all is well
I'm with you on the hibernating feeling. Always had it, got worse the older I get. I think it's perfectly natural. Goes back deep into our evolution. This time of year, and throughout the winter, food would have been scarce so preserving ones energy would have been the right choice.
There are also the things you can only enjoy this time of year, such as staring into the flames of a fire, not thinking of anything in particular. Snuggling under the duvet when the wind and rain is howling outside, and of course pasties.
Now we know your net worth, would it be a good time to ask if you could lend me a tenner?
Very true Mick. Only recently there's been research into it and it's believed our ancestors, as little as 400 years ago, used to essentially hibernate in the colder months and for the very reasons you give. Sorry but I had to give most of it away for emergency 'eye operations'. :D
tenner,000,000
A tenner? You think the man's made of money? He's only got 157 mil. Maybe spot you a fiver at best. How do you think he's managed to amass all that money.🙂
I see you use the same recipe I do for puff pastry, perfect every time! Good to see you, I hope we see more of you in the near future.
Great to see you again Kevin I hope you enjoyed your " break " from CZcams , thanks for posting and keeping us entertained , I look forward to the next vlog whenever it maybe 👍👍
Thanks for sharing about SAD. We always know to do our best and wait it out 😏
I deal with SAD in the deep winter. Always have. I understand! Loved your Pasty segment. The best I ever had was in northern Michigan close to the Mighty Mackinaw bridge & Mackinaw island. I never realized how easy they were to make. Thanks for showing us how to do it! Enjoying season 9! Be well Kevin!
Shari from Indiana.
You're very welcome Jane. Yes they are very straightforward and you can fill them with whatever takes you fancy.
Great to see you and also here you talk so openly about mood / mental health. It's completely normal to be affected by the seasons!
As an American who's never traveled abroad I've obviously never met you. But watching, and now rewatching, your videos makes me feel like we're old friends. I've tried other narrowboat shows but yours is superior. I don't get a fake vibe from you. You seem very genuine and honest. We've all hated the last few years but I wouldn't have found your videos without needing some entertainment during these sad times. I'm sure you've heard it before but your videos are such a blessing. You're a good man, and thanks for sharing your adventures with the world!
Very rare to watch a video where you feel the person is being natural and honest. We always watch your videos and thoroughly enjoy them, hope you feel more upbeat soon. Take care.
Many thanks Emma
So good to see you! Thanks for breaking your leave of absence. S.A.D. is a real thing my father suffered from it and finally spent his winters in Florida then moved there full time. Sadly he only lasted about 1 year after the move, cancer got him. I do believe S.A.D. is partly from lack of sunshine and he was much better in Florida. Your regular Vlogs are missed, but take care of your self and we'll all be here when you come back. Sandy Dayton OH USA.
Its hard sometimes, but getting out and into the sunlight as much as possible this time of year is crucial.
Your insights, humor and discussions are very light for the most part. But it’s your show, don’t let others dictate what you write and say in your “book of life” so to speak. Every person, each day, fights the internal battle of what they want to do and what they need to do. You have a very positive take on all.
Still enjoying the countryside and wildlife views. Gracias.
Many thanks Debra. You're quite right. Every aspect of life is trying to find a balance between what we want as individuals, and giving others what they want. It's one of the biggest suprises and challenges I've found since diving into fulltime filmmaking 5 years ago - pleasing my viewers but at the same time pleasing myself.
Excellent Kevin
Great to see you again
Keep safe warm and dry and virus free.
And to you David. Cheers 🙂
Thank you for sharing. Beginning with my fathers death when I was 21 in February I developed SAD as each following February brought some life shattering catastrophe! I swear, i had to be the only person with SAD living in San Diego! 30 years later, I feel just like you, not depressed, but I'm less vibrant in the winter and knowing iis half the battle. Love your show, especially the cooking AND the eating!
Kevin, I just happened upon this past video and, as always, enjoyed you cooking. I must admit I had my doubts, as I've never seen corn beef hash inside a dough... but it all worked out. You made me laugh with the ketchup, as my brother, Peter, put ketchup on EVERYTHING. BTW, congrats on that unexpected $157,000,000. Don't spend it all in one place. Leigh
I'm glad you came back. I miss your videos.
Love your candor. I too incubate in winter. But nature too rests, and so, perhaps, we need this time to reflect and gather strength for the coming months. Your pasties look delish.
Kevin! It is great to see you back! I, along, with thousands of others also suffer from SAD. You are very kind to share this with us. May God bless you!
Hi Kevin! I’ve been watching your videos on CZcams and Amazon since the pandemic. I have a 2 year old and I just introduced him to the first few seasons on Amazon and we’ve moved over to CZcams to watch season 7-9. Anyways he now asks to watch “Big Boats” and Cooking. He loves your cooking segments most of all. I just wanted to say thank you for all of the time and effort you put into your videos. Good luck with any upcoming trips!
-Heather and Ezra in the U.S.
We binge watched your great series while hibernating this winter at the marina. It’s been wonderful travelling by proxy, from the warmth and comfort of our boat Angelica. My brother James ( on the wide beam My Michelle) met you when you visited Fettlers wharf Marina at Rufford.
Hello friend! Good to hear from you. Safe travels.
Always good to see how your doing👍 Thanks for the update
YAY!!! Thrilled to see you this morning🥰
Kevin! Thank you for sharing, as always. Here in Vermont tis the season to cocoon/hibernate/chill/slow down a bit, (as well as opportunity to continue outdoor adventures) You appear to be in tune with the natural cycle dear hearted one! In my mind, like a dream I remember that in Buddhist teachings they say that in winter the dragon enters the cozy lair to rest. We who can live in harmony with the seasons of the year and of life are so fortunate. You are doing a wonderful job completely inhabiting your precious human birth, if I may say, which I just did. I too have been pondering about when to “ramp back up” during these times and thought about getting back to work now, or in three months. We are so blessed. I vote for taking time until the new year. You have inspired me in the most gentle open hearted way. Tanks, Twinkle lights, good books, chillin and plenty good food and a completely “appropriate” bit of spirits to you my brother in appreciating this precious life, Andrea
I’ve lost track of you and miss your videos’s. I too witnessed your cornered beef hash episode with questionable taste. It was fun to watch and very funny. Thanks!
I have been up all night watching your videos on Amazon Prime and CZcams. I know you don’t make money off the Amazon Prime, but thank you for working hard to get the show on that service. Your stuff is so relaxing and chilled. I was moved by your video on her about why you really left CZcams. Keep up the good work.
Oh flippin eck Kevin. I was dieting but your enjoyment of your pasties makes Nigella seem reserved. Im now starving .
I'm glad you have explained the "Hash" episode .....I wondered about that quite a bit! Regards Chris.
Fabulous puff-pastry recipe Kevin!
Glad to see you and Aslan 🙂 your adventures on the canals shown on prime got me thru some awful days of the pandemic. Thank you. Your net worth to me is priceless. God speed and safe travels where that might be. Tx 🇺🇸
Thank your for all of your travels...We feel as is we are travelling with you.....Just finished the Leeds/Liverpool with you and as we live in Embsay, near Skipton, thoroughly enjoyed that episode....My wife has just said that you should write a cookbook!! Best Wishes Tricia and Neil.......
Thank you Neil and Mrs Neil. Season 4 and the Leeds Liverpool were my favourite canal and videos to do.
Ta very much for this, you've brightened a gloomy autumn afternoon!
I have here everything I need to make these little "hashties", a can of corned beef, a potato (not spotty though), an onion, butter, baking tin, but I sadly lack the artistic ability to create a pretty little plastic bag to keep the pastry ingredients in while I prepare the tasty filling. I am also short of a boat. Hey--ho as an electronics geek would say, I'll solder on. Here's to next time we see you!
Sounds to me that as an electronics wizz, you'd have the 'capacitor' to do it. Resistance is futile.
@@CountryHouseGent If you gave me a breadboard, I could transformer silk purse into a sows' ear!
Wow Kevin, those look absolutely fantastic. Just the sort of comfort food you need in the winter months. Well done 👍
Thanks Martyn. Yes, very comforting.
It's minus -10C in Boston mid January and you popped up in this warm kitchen episode! I know it's my 2nd viewing, but delightful nonetheless! Thank you for sending a warm message this chilly morning in New England.
Happy Christmas to you and I hope you have a nice Christmas day and a happy new year.
Next year's going to be great can't wait to see what you have in store for us.
I hate the dark nights but in 31 days, the days will start to draw out again. That's what keeps me going.
lovely to see you....not watched it yet but so lovely x
Can’t wait to see more shows , from Chicago . 😀👍
I get that gloomy feeling in the winter here too . But funny when I visit
the inlaws in Ireland the weather don’t bother me ?
Kevin, it's great to see you are well. My wife and I also love it when you just cruise down the canal with your music in background and dropping a few pearl of your life's wisdom.

Cheers Kevin! Love to see you pop up in my feed!
GREAT STUFF...and thanks to Barry for the motivation, sparse consolation I know but SAD gets to me this time of year and tried everything you have to no avail so just keep on chugging on...take care of yourself Kevin...BOB 😁👍
Nice to see you again so soon.Great looking corn dog pasties. I can smell them from here. I think that my SAD lamp does help. Just think of the walking / camping trips in the Spring. Kevin you know your net worth. Regards AJ
I'm sorry the picture failed right when you were demonstrating your pastry technique, as the result looks wonderful! ( although the Jus-roll packet in shot was sending mixed messages!!) Always good to see how you're doing, and thanks for 'keeping it real' as they say in California, probably.
Looking very trim there Mr CHG. Thanks for checking in. Don't know why these pasties are not favored in America. Looking deelish. BTW would love to hear you on that Stratocaster singing the Happy Hibernatin' Blues. I have a similar black Strat guitar.
My sister suffers with SAD so I've an idea of what you're going through. Chin up mate, we all wish you well. The pasties looked DELISH! Looking forward to your next video, when you're ready. Take care. Brucie
Thank you Bruce.
Great to hear from you Kevin...........them pasties looked delicious...........I also go low when dark nights draw in.......I start doing my car drawings more and try and keep myself busy and have a plan in the winter months.........stay safe..........thanks for sharing
Agree with Steve Hanlon, net worth is your impact on so many people. Thank you Barry for getting our friend out so we all can enjoy seeing CHG. Good to see you Kevin and glad to see you well. Cheers!
Brilliant as always. Thank you so much. Take care and remember you have a large group supporting you.
Good to see you for a bit ......those look so good ......take care matie .....I'm in Hibernation to.......stay safe ....xxxx
Good to see you on screen Sir! I would think that with your newly-confirmed net worth ( no spoilers) you might simply hire a master chef to prepare your next round of hash! 😊
Best of luck to you in your endeavours, and thank YOU for helping me navigate through many dark evenings during the pandemic!
Ooh a personal chef, Brad. Now that's a fine idea, as long as they use stock cubes that is. :D
@@CountryHouseGent left handed Corned Beef Hash!
Kevin, hope you are well. Have a great holiday season! Looks like Temps are warm there about 12 C or 53 F. You could get out the Harley. Look forward to seeing you again. Take care. David
Thank You Kevin for
Being so open to
share about SAD…which I never heard of before, but it really makes sense to me because I experience that every fall every single year and I didn’t know what was happening….Bless You…Jann🌷
Great content and perspective! Try to make the most of hibernation season. Looking forward to your next post, whenever that may be!
Loved it, Love Pasties so much myself. I agree I have the same feelings, just start to cry? Daughter in law last night stopped by and said why are you crying--no answer.
Same here Sharon, been very very emotional of late. Even watching something like Back To The Future, gets the old waterworks flowing.
Always happy to see you CHG ! love the cooking vlog Kevin it looked delicious 😋 and thanks to Barry for sending you the recipe, he too was missing your cooking vlog … Take care be well ☀️🌟😊!!!
My Cornbeef Hash...Cook potatoes, onion and cabbage then mix with cornbeef and mashup...Hot frying pan and a good desert spoon of olive oil and fry it all...Then the hard bit, turn it over and do the same again...Good seeing you again Kevin...Hope all is well with you mate, even in this winter gloom :-)
That’s how We do Our Corned Beef Hash. Need to make these pasties they look Lush. Great to see You back. x ps, you look 10 years younger now than You did 4 years ago. Canal life must suit You! Pops, You could always do cooking videos, I loved this one! Stay safe, see you anon
What a pleasant surprise when I signed on today to see you Kevin! First of all, you look great. I totally agree with you about this time of the year and even worse, the winter months. I think the bears have the right idea - hibernate! The pasties looked tasty - well done. Hope to see you again before too long. Cheers!!
Thanks for stopping by, Kevin. What a lovely surprise! I think SAD is understandable and part of life for many, so don't worry about us on top of that. I'm lucky, I have always loved autumn and winter and their dark, rainy days, as in my case they speak to the Romantic (not romantic LOL) side of my personality. Enjoy whatever you do and know we'll be here when you stop by again.
Aww grand to see you back. We miss you all the best for the winter hope you bk soon tc Ann n David
Oh it is great to see and hear from you. It is almost winter here in Kansas, with the leaves falling off the trees and a definite chill in the air. It will be a long time before I see anything green. Have a very Merry Christmas!
Well done…. Thanks for sharing! Your honesty is appreciated.
Thank you, it is nice to hear from you. You may be feeling the season, but you look and sound well. Comedian Bob Hope was asked one time about his net worth, with inflated value, he responded with "find it and I will split it with you." Maybe that could be your answer. Half of that would buy a lot of fun. You take care, look forward to the next post.
Love your videos! Thank you for taking the time to make them.
good see you kevin keep it cranked on the cut thanks lee
Great to see you back, Kevin! Winter will soon roll into Spring, take a day at a time. You are showing life onboard as it is, not all sunshine and gin-quaffing. At least you haven't succumbed to jigsaws yet.......
Stay upbeat and get plenty of fresh air. All blessings to you.
Bless you, Kevin, for all you are, for who you are, for being real. The pasties look delicious! And, you are my new best friend forever, nothing to do, of course, with that $157,000,000...
Fantastic Another Post from You Kevin😃.. Those Pasties Turned Out Lovely👍..From 🇺🇸👋
Nice to see you 😊🌻
Can I borrow some money? HA. Thanks for the video. Good to see and hear you again. Always a pleasure to spend a few minutes seeing what you have prepared for us. Take care. Art
Lovely to see and hear you again Kevin. Despite the SAD, you are looking very well and rested. So hibernate during the dreary months and burst forth come spring with renewed energy. I’ll look forward to that and perhaps seeing you and Aslan on the canals again. The pasties looked and sounded delicious , so thumbs up to Barry. Bye for now. Love from Connie.
Thank you for sharing with all of your beloved fans. It is wonderful seeing you. Hope to see you on the canals again soon. Much love.
Kevin, it's so good to see you back on the boat making comfort food. I'd be lying if I didn't wish you were here all through the Holidays with a check in or two, with some cooking and just chatting. It makes me feel sane, here in ATL GA USA. Reminds me of a few years ago, when I learned to make your toad in the hole and your bread pudding, which I continue to make! I've missed you cooking on the boat, though I liked your camping trip too. Stop in and hang out with us this winter!
Hi Kevin nice to see you again and again for another Recipe for the mentioned title.
Looking more like 4 large sausage rolls but they ain't finished yet.
My word they look Yummy!
Sad yes me also seasonal affected disorder.
Nice job with the pasties 👍👌😁take care n stay safe.
All sailors are solitary folk, yet love to be social. There is a phenom of being ashore for two weeks and then having to escape back out onto the water. Go figure! We love you Mr. Gent and look forward to every posted video. Thankyou
Well I never, that actually makes perfect sense, Leslie. Cheers, 🙂
Good to see you. I much prefer the brighter, sunnier days. This time of year I always think just a couple
Of months to go and I’ll be looking forward to spring again. ☀️🌸
I sympathise with your SAD syndrome experience. I suffer much the same through the
winter months. I just say I'm in bear mode, ie hibernating. I sleep quite easily at any odd time but rarely go through the night without a bathroom visit, unfortunately. Such is life.
I enjoy your cooking demonstrations.
Enjoyed. Your videos help us all get through the low of winter.
SO HAPPY TO SEE YOUR BACK !!!!!
Congratulations on your newly acquired wealth! Fly on over to San Diego for a “Seasonal” boost to your health. ❤️ And thank you for this “bonus” video!
I agree Kevin, my son lived in San Diego. San Diego has a yellow feel, while here in Pennsylvania it’s gray.
@@skyer3894 Exactly! John Coleman RIP, would say '69 and fine' and we should send you an aloha shirt from San Diego...I'll brb...checking my net worth. CHEERS! It's great to see you!
Kevin - I just stumbled across you today and what fantastic personage you are just being yourself and in that brilliant - take care
I was dying laughing at your dry wit, again - just you being you !
Yay! Great to see you again. Love your cooking segments for inspiration/comfort food- especially this time of year. Food can be your pharmacy for lifting your spirits-it’s pie 🥧 season for me! Thanks for sharing!
Hi CHG. Great to see you again - we miss your videos. Throughout the lockdowns we watched all your adventures with Aslan which really helped us through those long days of uncertainty. Please carry on with what you do even though you are feeling a bit low - it might help you to know you are our ‘light box’ that keeps us smiling. Love to hear some more of your music too. Best wishes.
Good to see you back 😊
Lovely to see you - fantastic news about your wealth which I must say you hide very well with your frugal approach to life 🤣. The pasties look delicious! When I make corned beef hash I use my mum’s recipe. Slice potatoes, onions and corned beef thinly (difficult for you because you seem to like chunky) then layer in a dish - corned beef,onion, black pepper, tators to the top of a small dish. Pour beef gravy over slowly until the mixture is almost covered but not swimming and shove in the oven for an hour and 1/2 or until the top layer of potatoes is brown. Cheap but delicious - my late husband loved it. You are probably sick of corned beef now though. See you soon xxx
Thanks for the that Whitty, I always have time for a good recipe, corned beef or otherwise. 🙂
Your the greatest kevin thanks agian for the great video I wish I could do what I want too do like you living on the canal is great BUT COLD I couldn't do it my back is to bad
Wonderful to see you!!
Still laughing from the ketchup "fart". lol
good to hear you mate keep it up happy Xmas see you soon
I have always enjoyed your videos, probably more now than ever. Listening and watching your life has brighten my spirits. I'm currently going through a divorce and having moments of sadness. Your videos cheer me up, thank you. Best wishes from Texas. One day, Ill visit your wonderful country and take a ride on a narrowboat. 💚
We enjoy watching you and we like your cooking too, I hope your holidays will be great on the canal and sending you Gods peace and blessings to you ~Hope you make more videos in the future. ❤😊
I was also feeling down. But your video gave me a lift thank you. It was a added bonus thought you were done for 2021. Would love to see more of your photos you have taken through the years. And when and where they were taken. Thanks |Kevin I am off to the shop for the hash pasty ingredients. Might make to giant pasties rather than 4. Keep well.
Glad to see you vlogging again 🥰
Nice to see you pop up. It’s like having an old friend stop by. You and Asian got me through some sleepless nights last year. Sorry you’re dealing with winter blues. Hopefully good food, good music and good friends will see you through until Spring. Stay well.
