UPDATE: Comment #645 from Jennifer is the winning comment, per Random.org. Congrats Jennifer! To collect your prize, just shoot me an email!
This week, because Monday (December 7) is my birthday…because Christmas is around the corner…and because you might like a nifty new kitchen gadget…I’m giving away a silver-and-red 14-cup food processor!
My spouse ordered this same Cuisinart for my birthday, but in the usual shade of silver (cuz I didn’t know about the pretty red model at the time). Alas, the machine won’t arrive until Tuesday. Thus I lifted the photo up top from Amazon’s website. (I always use Amazon when ordering gifts for the random drawings on this site.)
And speaking of birthdays…I’ve decided to ignore my actual age, and turn just 30 on Monday. This is not an act of vanity, my friends. It’s merely a psychological trick I learned from the wonderful actress Marla Gibbs. Marla, who is now in her 80s, tells herself that she is 30. Otherwise, she says, she might “give-in” to old age, and stop learning new things. I like her philosophy!
Rules for Entry:
Just leave a comment in the “comments” section below. You can say anything you’d like. Perhaps you’d like to comment on Marla Gibbs’s “I’m 30” philosophy.
Enter soon! This random drawing expires on Tuesday at 11:59PM.
As always, I’ll use the number generator at Random.org to select a winner. The winner’s name will be announced here and on my Facebook page on Wednesday, Dec. 9, 2015. The winner will have until Friday, Dec. 11, 2015, to claim his or her prize. If no claim is made, I’ll use the money to run another giveaway!
Good luck, everyone!
This giveaway is sponsored entirely by Kevin Lee Jacobs.

Brigitte says

birthday gift!
Linda C says
Happy Birthday, Kevin! My 99 year old mother has always “fudged” her age so that she would feel younger and people wouldn’t treat her as old. She still claims she is 95 lol!
Sheila says
Today I ran across your blog and seen you had many of the things that make my life joyful and age defying (gardening and cooking) so it was fun to hear about Marla Gibbs take on staying young at heart. For me its always been the garden….so much to see and learn throughout the year in the garden.
Lisa Brown says
Yes, don’t stop learning new things. I think I will keep telling myself I am 30, couldn’t hurt 🙂 Thanks for the chance!

Kate Todd says
Hmmm..my birthday was yesterday and although I agree with your philosophy of being a life-long learner, I also think it’s essential to stay incredibly active. It’s obvious that you agree as evident in your weekly posts, Kevin. It’s all about mindset and finding joy and love in life. How fortunate we are!
Kevin, Happy Birthday to you and I wish you a great holiday.
Bud C says
Happy Birthday! I could tell myself I’m 30 but I’m having more fun now.

Loma says
Happy birthday, and may you continue to both be such a radiant blessing and be blessed with much joy and love, for many years to come. Also, a bit of advice: Don’t ever stop moving and exercising. Age creeps up on you, and it’s hard to restart!
Julia says
Happy Birthday Kevin!

When I was 30 it was a really good year. I’d go back in an instant! But I guess I have to be satisfied just imagining I’m 30…. Happy Birthday, Kevin! Keep up the good work!
linda kemp says
Hope you are having a wonderful birthday. Husband’s birthday was Friday…oh you Sagittarius men. My man turned 75 and he does not feel it 🙂 I LOVE red.

Kiestie says
Hope you have a wonderful birthday!
Barb says
Happy Early Birthday!!! I love your FB page and webpage. Many of your recipes appear on my table. I made the Harvest Salad for Thanksgiving. I have a three year old grand daughter who refused all Thanksgiving food EXCEPT the pumpkin bread croutons!! She ate them by the bowlful. I will tuck that recipe into her recipe box for when she beings to cooks.

Happy Birthday, Kevin! You always make me smile!

Deb says
Happy birthday! Mine is Dec 16…get it 1+6=7 = your birthdate!
Marcia says
Have a Happy Birthday. I’m always 29. The red will go nicely in my kitchen. I have purchased two similar items at garage sales and they did not work. Maybe if I get a free one I will have better luck.
On another note, the new kitten is better.
Marcia
Brenda Priddy says
Love your site! Many wonderful ideas. Thank you.
Bev Campeau says
I will try the 30 trick. Hope it works. I’d settle for 40 LOL Happy Birthday Kevin!
Sunny Tabino says
Happy Birthday! Age is definitely a state of mind. Nearing 80, I don’t feel any different than when I was 60 or 30. It is a matter of positive thinking and staying mentally and physically active, savoring life at any age.
Karen Gallas says
You Really dont look much holder than thirty. Many thanks for your posts.
Deb says
Happiest Birthday ever Kevin Lee! May we all chant and live like we are 30 forever.:)))))
lynn says
Happy Birthday- it’s always such fun to check in with you each time….have a wonderful day tomorrow!
Jody says
Happy Birthday tomorrow! Marla is correct, as long as we think we are young, we will stay active, which keeps us young! I know I refuse to get “old”!
Kathleen "Coach" Clement says
Thirty, Hell (sorry), my knees feel like 100! I still get out there and garden, feed my girls (chickens) and cook. By the way, my food processor is is also feeling it’s age and I sure need a new one. Thanks for reading. Keep those news letters coming, I need to keep moving! Coach
Barbara Morgan says
Love it!
Happy Birthday!
Joy says
Hope tomorrow is whatever kind of day you enjoy most, Kevin!
Pepper says
Happy Birthday, Kevin! You are only as old as you feel, and judging by all of your projects, you act and feel very, very young! Keep on going and giving us great ideas!
Cecile O'Day says
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR KEVIN, YOUR SUCH A GURU…
Janice Foster says
Happy Birthday Kevin. Wishing you many more. Have a wonderful Christmas.
Deb says
Happiest Birthday ever Kevin Lee!
Leslie says
Happy Birthday Kevin 🙂 I wish you many more !!
Stacey says
Happy Birthday. Love Cuisinart!
Kip Morrissette says
I agree with Kate. We both are in our 70’s and 80’s and we owe our “Up Attitudes” to keeping active. We enjoy ‘giving back’ through volunteering. It is great medication for the soul.
Happy Birthday! Wishing you a sunshiny day and smiles on your day.
Donna says
Happy 30th birthday Kevin! I never think of my actual age, I do not feel 72! I have to stop and think of my age when I fill out forms. I never mind telling anyone how old I am since I have worked very hard to reach this age and I plan to enjoy every one coming! Would love this beauty to celebrate the new year, my old one is on it’s last leg from over use!
Tsuki says
Happy Birthday. I always enjoy your posts. Thanks for sharing your delightful life with us. And happy holidays.
Christine Hollman says
Happy birthday!! Have an awesome day!
Anna L says
Rather than “fudging” a specific age, my grandmother would always say she was “younger than springtime.” Happy birthday, Kevin!
Betsy T says
Your birthday is the same day as a dear friend’s, Ed, who has been gone for more than 20 years now. Still miss him.
Vickie says
Happy birthday tomorrow!!! I hope it’s exquisite!!!…So you were born on the “day of infamy.” (Pearl Harbor Day). I think Marla has the right idea. Keep a youthful belief about yourself and you can be that age. Really enjoy reading about your garden and cooking experiences. My kitchen is lacking the color yours has. I’m going to have to brighten things up a bit!!! Thank you for being you!!
Annette Guilfoyle says
Happy Birthday Kevin! My last Cuisinart has lasted for over 30 years, as it dies a slow and struggling end. If this one is anything like the last I will be 95 and still creating! It is used often…..my family loves Pesto………but it is enjoyed for so much more.
Enjoy…to whomever wins!
Kimberly K says
Happy Birthday Kevin. I am so lucky to have found your blog and have learned so much from you. Thank you for all your ideas and insights and have an amazing day!!
Christina says
Happy early Birthday Kevin! I hope you have a great day!! Thats a great philosophy 🙂
Barbara says
Happy Birthday, Kevin. My daughter in law is 30 and she wants to be older. She tells everybody she is 35. I feel younger now than when I was 30. My husband always says he is 35, 35 and that makes him younger than his children.
Thank you, Kevin, have a fun day.
Marie campbell says
Happy, Happy Birthday, Kevin
Mary Stewart says
Happy birthday! Enjoy your special day!!!
Carol H. says
I have to say my real age when asked because otherwise I’ll totally forget how old I really am! (This can be embarrassing at the docs office – let alone cause them to start wondering about me…LOL).
Thanks for the chance at a give-away!
Barbara D says
Happy Birthday Kevin! I feel like your fabulous blog is a little gift to me every time I read it. Our age can be any number we pick….so choose wisely!
Wishing you a shiny bright December 7th birthday.
Carolee Bodie says
I know the feeling of not admitting your age. As an artist I often do self portraits, trying to depict life experiences as they occur (I will be 72 on Christmas day)
Somehow I always forget to add the wrinkles!!!
Susan says
Enjoy a wonderful birthday Kevin.
Edward Zabel says
Thank you for being so generous. My current processor is on its last leg. So this would be amazing.
andi stewart says
Happy Birthday Kevin and many, many more! At my age, I figure, if I wake up and have a pulse, it’s going to be a good day!
Gloria Gellman says
Happy Birthday Kevin! I hope you have a wonderful day tomorrow.
martha welch says
Happy Birthday Kevin! I do think Marla Gibbs was spot on with her philosophy on aging. Its the curiosity about everything around us that keeps us young.
Candace says
Happy Birthday. Mine is the 25th!! So..I think I need this to make some yummy birthday treats))
2+5=7…a connection I think:)
Ginger says
Oh that looks wonderful. Count me in!
Jane C. says
Happy early birthday Kevin, Age is a number. The most beautiful person I know is in her 90’s. My grandmother.
I hope you had a wonderful holiday!
Gayle Sisson says
I think that on my next birthday I will be 30. I should have started this a few years ago but never to late to think young!!! Happy Birthday to you, Kevin.
Chris B says
Would love this as I do not own one. HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

Happy Birthday, Kevin. Have a wonderful year. 2015 and 2016!
Elaine says
gosh, I’m only number 9, usually I’m 300-400 ?
Happy Birthday!
MonicaC says
Happy Birthday, I give gifts on mine too.
Thanks
Donna Clary says
Happy Birthday, yes, it is true about learning new things. I have seen family members in their 80’s super young and others who give up way before. My mom had a December birthday too. Are you like her? She said growing up people lumped her presents (Christmas & birthday) into one gift. Heaven forbid we did that. She used to say, “Don’t give me my birthday present and tell me it’s Christmas too, and don’t give me my Christmas present and tell me it’s my birthday too. And whatever you do…no birthday wrap for my Christmas present and no Christmas wrap for my birthday. She WAS the Queen so we always did as she said. Sadly, she left us nearly four years ago and there isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t remember her in some way.
S Belew says
Happy Birthday! My birthday was Dec. 5th!
Christina says

Nancy Mette says
Kevin,
How did you know I was in the market for a new food processor, and a red one at that! Santa must have given you my list.
I love the 30 yrs philosophy! I have been doing that myself for a few years now.
Happy Birthday to you!
Leslie says
I enjoy trying your recipes and learning gardening tips.
Sally Stafford says
Happy Birthday and Happy Christmas everyone !
Eileen hatch says
Happy Birthday! Health and happiness to you in the coming year. My food processor is from college and is about 40’years old and is “temperamental”. We have an understanding, but it has not adopted the Marla Gibbs philosophy of being 30. It is acting it’s age! So a new one would be great. Love the blog, thanks. Best wishes tomorrow!
Shelley says
Happy Birthday!!
My beloved Cuisinart food processor that I have had for many years said its final goodbyes right smack in the middle of Thanksgiving prep! I would adore this shiny new one!!
Michelle says
Hey, I’m 30 too, but with wisdom A very happy birthday to you Kevin!!!
Mary Ann Krammes says

It’s YOUR 30th BIRTHDAY!!!! Hope you have a fabulous day with the silver fox! Pamper yourself and make a mighty, delicious cocktail. Happy Birthday, Kevin!
Betti Fletcher says
I always say -me and Jack Benny turn 39 today. I’ve been saying that for 31 years since I stopped counting. But I find its hard to realize my true age, the mind still think its 29. Most of my friends have that problem, the mind doesn’t age as fast as the body.
That Cuisinart sure would look pretty on my kitchen counter and I would put it to good use.
Happy Birthday Kevin, and keep up the good work.
Celeste says
Happy Birthday Kevin! I think next year I’ll turn 30 also!
Thank you for the chance to win this lovely appliance.
Have a happy, safe, holiday season.

Happy Birthday Kevin,
I am also a Sagittarius. SO happy birthday to all us Sags out there.
If you think about having a professional reading done, I earned my way through undergrad school doing them and have taught and practiced for thirty years.
As a Sagittarius you know how to have fun, especially around the winter holidays!
Happy Birthday
Lucia Trevino-Lane says
My mom taught me this trick ages ago – she was 29 for 50 years! BUT when she hit 80 she was so proud of how healthy, mentally fit and strong she is (she credits chair yoga!) she proudly proclaimed her age. She’s 82 now but actual like she’s 60!I want to be just like her when I grow up! Happy Happy Birthday. Your posts bring such joy. Thanks,
Lynn Mc. says
Happy Birthday and Holidays Kevin.
Monica says
Healthy Birthday to you! Love your humor, recipes, ideas and photos!
Long live the Chef! So many angels all around you!!!
Kimberly C. says
Happy birthday, Kevin! As far has Matha Gibb’s “I’m 30” philosophy- she has a good point. Others might say to embrace the age you are in, but because our society is so youth-focused, I think it would be difficult to turn off that societal way of thinking to embrace the older years. So maybe it is best to fake it until you make it, until you start to believe you’re 30 again.
Gini Nelson says
Kevin, Happy Birthday! I like your “age”.
Gini
Nancy Lou says
Happy Birthday, Kevin! I hope to copy your boxwood borders from cuttings, and your winter sowing instructions. Always inspiring!

I love revisiting your Christmas Tree post each year and I did that before coming over here… chuckled all over again at Lily eating first, Mr. Marshmallow Snowman, then the angel’s wings!!! She must have a stomach of iron, geeze.
But of course, HAPPY BIRTHDAY Kevin! I hope you have a wonderful December overall and that the holidays are filled with sugar-coated and bright-sparkly things both tangible and intangible.
Here’s to another year ahead of gorgeous gardens, sumptuous recipes, fun and fancy and functional kitchen gadgets and tools, and your crazy-@$$ humor!
Carry on, dear Kevin….
Leonard says
This 75 year old will put it to good use.

Happy birthday Kevin! I just celebrated mine too. I’m musing the question about picking a younger age and sticking to it. If I could figure out how old I feel inside, I’d maybe be 10 or so. Hmmm.

Keep up your great blog with your tips, recipes & etc. Wait every week for them in my mailbox. Would love to win the food processor.

PLease add me to the giveaway Kevin. Men age much better than women:
“You know, when I first went into movies Lionel Barrymore played my grandfather. Later he played my father and finally he played my husband. If he lived, I’m sure I would have played his mother. That’s the way it is in Hollywood. The men get younger and the women get older.”
– Lillian Gish
Melinda says

I’m not 30, but I want to keep as young as I can, in spite of being well over twice that! Good food, friends & exercise both in the kitchen & garden keeps me young, trim and enjoying life!

Happy Birthday, Kevin! I stopped having them when I turned 50, telling myself that I couldn’t get any older then 🙂 That works as long as I stay away from mirrors!

Have a shiny day

Peggy Gibbs says
I’m 66 but most of the time I don’t feel that old. But if I look in the mirror too closely, I get a wake-up call. My husband and I are fairly active, playing senior volleyball 3 times a week and bowling twice a week and I try to walk about 5,000 steps a day, sometimes more. One day I surprised myself and walked 10,000 steps. This keeps me “young at heart”. Thanks.
Janet E. says
Kevin, My wish for you is a very Happy Birthday tomorrow and that all of YOUR wishes come true.
Marla has a great idea and a good one to follow – but mine is that I have never gotten out of my first childhood. This has worked for me for 72 years. Going to build another snowman this year!!!!
Love your pictures, hints and especially the recipes – yes, I use therm. Thanks for another great giveaway – I could use the red!!!!!

Do you remember when you posted about the bundt pan? Well, I checked into them and found a gingerbread house style one. I ordered that from amazon and a few more other shapes. Last Christmas season I made about 20 gingerbread houses as gifts. So many people had not had gingerbread! No one had EVER received a gingerbread house before. I am repeating the fun this year…thanks to you!! See what you started!! A BIG ripple effect!

I hope you have a FABULOUS birthday tomorrow! Guess what? I was born on Pearl Harbor Day too! I wonder if we were born the same year ? Give you a hint- I’m 1 year older than Larry Bird (of Boston Celtics fame), who also shares our birth date. I always tell my real age- after people take a guess. They ALWAYS guess 10-15 years younger than I actually am. Besides, tho my MIND tells me I’m 30, My body says”YOU WISH! I love your blog, it’s the only one I follow. I came across it last year when researching something to do with gardening. and your blog about winter sowing caught my eye. I had never heard about doing it that way. After looking around your site, I decided to subscribe to it.. I tried winter sowing and had about 50% success. It was enough to get me to try it again this year. This is my first time posting and my 1st entry into one of your giveaways. That Quisinart sure is a beauty! I have a red kitchen and it sure would look good in it.. The processor I used to own quit in the middle of making orange-cranberry relish a few years ago. I hope that I’m lucky enough to win it- in spite of our birthdate!
Roberta Newman says
Happy birthday, Kevin! Love your website!
Maggie says
Happy Birthday, Kevin! Have fun with your new food processor!
Gail says
Happy Birthday, Kevin! I did 19 for about 7 years. It was a good year for me so I thought I’d stick with it for a while. Started getting a bit trickier when my children kept growing up and older.

My own best strategy for dealing with age is to forget how old I am, round up in my head, and then when I remember my actual age, SURPRISE!
Many happy returns on the day!

GREAT ideas on the site – the the sweet potato bird’s nests….gonna try it Christmas Day!
Joel Rossf says
They say you’re as old as you feel. When I get out of bed on a cold morning, I feel like 100 years old. After a cuppa joe, 80. Heary omlette with thick slices of good whole wheat, 50. When I get in my Jeep and ride along the beach, 40. When I work in the yard, I’m a kid again! Love your blog!
Diane says
Happy Birthday, Kevin – hope it’s a fabulous year for you!

My birthday too! My son is throwing me a surprise party! How do I know this? i was asked to bake the cake! Chocolate with buttercream frosting topped with chocolate ganache and choc covered strawberries. Our favorite. Hope yours is a happy one too.
Val A says
HAPPY Birthday,Kevin!
I’m a December baby also, born on the 9th so here’s hoping it’s my lucky day! ;0)
I’m always 29, that’s what I’d tell my kids. Then one day my son when younger commented how much older my husband was than me! LOL
THANKS for the great raffle opportunity
Happy Holidays!

Elizabeth King says
Hi Kevin,
Happy Birthday! I like Marla’s philosophy very much. I will have to turn 30 from now on. I honestly don’t feel my age.
That Cuisinart looks very Christmassy in the red, doesn’t it?
cynthia shultz says
Happy Birthday. And I would love that food processor.
Millie Schwandt says
Made your her bed cheese like biscuits for Thanksgiving! Yummy!

Happy Birthday, Kevin. I’m glad you are only 30. That’s a very nice age to be. I look forward to your blog every week.
BTW….do you keep adding water to your forced bulbs if they drink it dry? One of mine already has a bud.
Kate says
Happy Birthday Kevin! Welcome to a brand new year(and decade)!
I’m immersed in homework, juggling baking, trying to organize my winter sowing (fortunately I have the containers!). I tried to order some peat moss and perlite from Amazon (my go to store) but they do not ship North at this time. So now I’m going to have to take a break tomorrow and go in town shopping. I’ll plan better next year! I try to save myself as much time as possible because my schedule is very hectic. I’m looking forward to getting through my finals so I can play in the dirt for a wee bit.
Thank you for the opportunity – I love red! Enjoy your week!
Helga G says
Happy Birthday Kevin. I have been celebrating my 29. Birthday for the past umpteen years.
Anne says
Happy Birthday Kevin!
Pat Mailen says
Happy Birthday Kevin. Oh boy, would I love to have this food processor. I could count it as my Birthday gift too since my birthday was the 4th. My sister is almost exactly 10 years older than me. Here is the way the birthday call goes — “Happy birthday Sis, now lets see I’m 39 so you must be 29? ” Of course, I agree. I’ve had so many Happy 29’s now that I’ve actually lost count of the real deal. 🙂 So by tradition I’m a year younger than you and Marla.
Kenneth Booker says
Happy Birthday, and thanks for the great gardening tips
Karen says
I would be so excited to own this Cuisinart…. at age ____ (ok, I won’t say…. or shall I say “30”…? ) I have never had a food processor! I think it is about time…..so I can make more of Kevin’s yummy recipes…. and I welcome winning this! Angels? Ready for miracles!
Mary Ann says
Happy Birthday,t. That would be a great Christmas present for me
Margaret says
Kevin, wishing you a wonderful Birthday. Thank you for all the wonderful tips and step by step recipes especially the GF.
Karen L. says
Well, Happy 30th Birthday to you and to my grandson who will turn 11 on the 9th. Yep, he is a wee bit younger than you. And Marla is basically correct, you are only as old as you think you are or perhaps as old as you feel on a good day. Love the Beagle bauble on your tree. We don’t do a big tree anymore. Sad but true.
Mary Beth says
HAPPY Birthday. I love your wit, your old world charm and especially your emails.
miriam says
Looking forward to your mail each week! Really good recipes.
Happy 30th!
Cyndi says
Happy Birthday!
Kris says
Happy Birthday Kevin! I too think I will adopt the Marla theory….what a great idea.
It’s always good to think young !
Carol Monson says
Happy Birthday Kevin, my birthday is December 18 so we share a birthday month..
Love the bright color of the food processor..
Matt says
Happy Birthday! turned “30” myself this year
Krysia says
Sto Lat, Kevin! I’ve been 23 for about 28 years now…I really could use that processer…for the record, mine from 1980 is still going strong, 5 years after the warranty expired. It’s looking a little tired, though…
cindy skarin says
Happy Birthday, love your Blog and great recipes!
Madeleine says
Happy Birthday Kevin! Truly a philosophy to live by.
Deborah Bixler says
Happy Birthday Kevin! I could try telling people I’m 30, but I don’t think they would believe it! I was never embarrassed to tell anyone my age! I’m proud of my gray hair….
I’m still there in my heart and soul!
Barb says
Happy Birthday Young Man!
Carol Hanson says
Happy Birthday Kevin! Every year is truly a blessing & so is your blog!

Wallace Braud says
A Happy, Happy, Happy, Happy & Blessed Birthday to you, Sir Kevin! Hang in there! It only gets better.
Susie Q says
A little secret…my husband and I never get “presents” under our non exciting tree. Our family doesn’t come over or send us anything. This would be a wonderful surprise to each of us since we do love cooking just for the two of us. We just had our 46th wedding anniversary and again…nothing. I am an avid reader of your blog! Merry Christmas Kevin! and thank you
Annie says
Happy Birthday Kevin!!
And my philosophy…..Age is just a number……it is all about how you feel and your attitude. I am 57, feel great and believe in having lots of fun and laughter in my life. A good sense of humor is a must. And I poke fun at myself too. I don’t take myself to seriously. I have been a Southern California Sun lover my entire life and have more than a few wrinkles but…… I have had a darn good time getting to where I am. Confidence is a good thing but arrogance will take you down…..Always walk with your head held high and wear a smile. If you do, your birthday and the number will never matter! You are not getting older. You are getting better!!
Margo dierdorff says
I’m hoping for some random goodness after 3 weeks of pneumonia 🙂

deborah says
Happy birthday! Hope it is marvelous.
Claudia Graham says
You are so entertaining and fun. Love your photographs and enjoy your recipes. Unfortunately I am 77, and did not know about saying I was younger, but I have had a very full life and am still enjoying the growth process. Thanks for all you do.

Crystal Kyricos says
A Very Happy 30th Birthday to YOU, dear Kevin…..AGAIN and AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (these are the 30 candles for your cake)
Marla has a wonderful idea, now, if only I can get that into my Mother’s head. Mom will be turning 90 in January and thinks that’s it. The only thing is, she has been saying this since she was 45!!!
Have a WONDERFUL DAY on December 7th and take lots of pictures……….

Hippo Bird deer two ewes!
My grandmother, rest her soul, gave me this marvelous gadget when my twin boys were born to make their baby chow. That was thirty two years ago, and it is still my best kitchen buddy. If I win, it will go to Jacob and his new wife of four weeks. Wouldn’t that be cool?
Kate says
Happy birthday Kevin. We share a birthday actually, I will be a 30 year old sixty year old tomorrow!! I love your blog and follow it regularly, Lily the Dog is my favorite part! My favorite recipe is the Butternut squash Linguini! Thank so much for adding yet another bright spot to my life every week. Have a beautiful day tomorrow.
Arianna Norris says
My son is dyslexic, so we’ve often “flipped” the numbers. Sometimes, as in turning 54 into 45 it works…..sometimes, as in 49 into 94 it doesn’t! LOL Either way, it helps us remember that age is just a number. Have a great one!
Randy says
I love your site Kevin; especially the recipes like “sweet potato egg nests”! Keep them coming.
(being 30 every birthday is a great idea, especially now that I’m 68. It will be a lot easier to remember when folks as me how old I am.)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KEVIN!!!
Annie says
Happy Birthday! Head is 30, knees are 80, grandkids keeping me young, and enjoying naps more than ever.
Annie says
You need to give lessons in time use… You accomplish so many things and do them so well, but best of all, you seem to enjoy each and every one. I have to ask, do you enjoy cleaning the bathroom?
Have a wonderful b-day!!!
Emily says
I’m still madly in love w/ your 4-ingredient peanut butter cookies. But I tried out the sweet potato nest w/ egg,. I had to hand grate the sweet potato. Though the outcome was all right, I figured it was just too much work to had grate. The food processor would be just the thing.
Incidently, how did you get your grated sweet potatoes to be so nice and orange? My sweet potato was very pale w/ hardly any color at all.
Jill O says
Happy birthday Kevin hope it’s a great day!
Ruth melvin says
Happy, happy birthday Kevin,

I like Marla’s 30 idea. Can’t wait to try it on the next clerk that asks for my birth date(lol). Hope you have a wonderful birthday!!!
Lori Mancini says
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, as for my birthday philosophy I go with “If you don’t grow up by 50 you don’t have to”, as I hit the big 50 on April 1 of this year. YUP I am the best April fool joke my mother ever pulled.
carol munday says
Loved Marla in The Jeffersons & 227. Her caustic humour was unforgettable. Happy Birthday Kevin.

I just found your website a few weeks ago and LOVE it. I’m another 30 year old x 3.75+ whose Processor just broke and my kitchen is red! How nice of you to give a gift for your birthday. And your recipes are easy and so good. Happy Birthday Kevin and many more.
Karyn says
Happy 30! Great way to stay young at heart. 😀
Lynn says
Have a wonderful birthday and may this year be your best yet! I dropped several years last month for my birthday. Its all in the mind. I’ve met people my actual age who are old. They think old, talk old and it makes me want to give ’em a boot in the butt! Celebrate life not years!

bett says
Happy Birthday, Kevin. I am glad you were born. I am sure you are too. I have to say though about the age thing….Having been a Hospice volunteer, I am grateful for every healthy year I have on this earth. And, I have earned & celebrate my years now in my 70s. And age, does not mean you dont continue to be curious, learn with excitement & continue to develop your wisdom. My life is so much richer & blessed than when I was 30. And, I would love the Cuisinart food processor!!!.
Gayle VanOrder says
Happy Birthday to You. Thoroughly enjoy your writings. A forward thinking guy..preparing for Spring with your cuttings and seed plantings. Love all your recipes too. Happy Holidays!

HI Kevin, I think Marla is absolutely right. I’ve been turning 30 for a few years now! I love your recipes. Mainly the sourdough breads. I’ve perfected my starter and use your recipes and the bread comes out perfect every time. If you have any suggestions on making the bread more sour, I would love to hear them.
Anyway, have the Happiest of Birthdays!!!

Diana says
Happiest birthday! Celebrate!
Cheryl B. says
Kevin,
The Cuisinart I have been using is at least 30 years old. It was my Mom’s. 30 is a great number, but there is something good to be said for age. Besides, age is just a state of mind. Be proud of it!
Happy Birthday, and you don’t look a day over 30 anyway.
Love you, and your website,
Thanks
Marie says
Happy anniversary of your 30th birthday, Kevin!!! You are younger than I am (I’ve had quite a few 39th birthdays myself), so that should be gift enough for you. Wishing you many more!!!
Joyce Killin says
Kevin,
Happy, happy birthday for Tuesday. You are such a kind soul, or appear to be…… Hope you have a marvellous Birthday.
Now if I win this marvellous kitchen appliance how do we get it up to Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Do you think Santa could drop it off?
Best to you, Joyce

Happy Birthday Kevin!

Linda A says
Happy Birthday, Kevin! Hope you party hearty. I honestly can’t tell what your age is and, you
know, it really doesn’t matter, does it .. . as long as you have plenty of joie de vivre – and you obviously have that.
OK, now for that very cool blender. It obviously (in my mind) belongs on my kitchen counter so I hope the “Random Number Gods” agree. If our age is just a number, so too can be my luck!

Have a lovely birthday, Kevin! I don’t mind getting older (mostly) or admitting my real age. I’m always proud to have made it this far and determined to see what comes next. My grandfather just turned 100 and he’s proud of that fact. I hope I can make the same claim somewhere down the road.

(I am a mom to two rescue babies and I can’t imagine not having them.)
Thanks.

(Renee sez Hi also. She’s the one who found you.)

Diane P. says
Hi Kevin! HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!!! I was 29 for years until my oldest daughter turned 29! Then I either had to change my age or say she was adopted (couldn’t get away with that–she looks just like me). I like the “think younger than you are” philosophy!
Jo Pernice says
Happy Happy Birthday! Please pick me!!!!!
Linda says
Happy Birthday! I agree with Marla, although I’m just happy every time I make it another year! Love the silver and red, by the way.

Great website you have here – love the gardening and cooking discussions and demos – always makes me smile….thanks!
Annie Hogsett says
I know a lady who took ten years off her age and fibbed to EVERYBODY about it. She’s the youngest 94 year old you’d ever want to meet. I’d do that, but I think it’s too late. People already know how old I am. But maybe I’ll just knock of a decade and see how that goes.
Michelle says
Happy Birthday Kevin. Have a wonderful year!
Susan McMurray says
May you have many many 30th birthdays, dear Kevin!!

Beth V says
The only problem I have with still being 30 is my 36 year old daughter who insists on telling everyone her real age! Oh, and also my brand-new great grandson kind of makes it hard to believe I’m 30!
Pam says
Embracing a vegan lifestyle and the food processor would be a great tool to save time and to make things look uniform. thanks for all the keen ideas. Happy birthday!
Anne in Vermont Zone 4/5 says
Happy Birthday! The one problem with feeling younger than I am is that I find myself volunteering to help those who really are younger than me with jobs they could perhaps more easily do than can I. Of course, they always accept.
Lori Walsh says
I would love to find that under my Christmas tree:)
DENNIS LEPP says
Happy Birthday. Now I blew out all my candles so since my old processor took a dump I wished for a new one just like the one you are giving away.
Jeri Tschappat says
Kevin, Happy Birthday. I also share a December birthday, the 16th.Growing up my special day was kind of skipped being so close to Christmas.
Your Christmas is gorgeous and filled with so many memories, love the shoes.
PaulaK says
Happy Birthday Kevin. My great aunt was 93 and always said she felt about 30 inside. So we might age “on the outside” but we can be any age we want “on the inside”.
Janet Carter says
Happy birthday, Kevin! Hope your day is filled with amazing surprises. That looks like a very nifty food processor. I would love to have a chance to learn to use one! Thanks for the opportunity.

Have a wonderful birthday celebration! I agree with Marla . . . aging is inevitable, but keeping your mind young and curious can sure slow the process down. I will also be celebrating a birthday this month, on Christmas Day. My dear sweet mom was also a December birthday so we’re left with only one conclusion . . . . there are some really wonderful people born in the month of December, right? I’m new to your blog and absolutely loving it! Happy Birthday.

I would love this! Every week I think of making some dish that requires I shred or julienne some veggies. Since it sounds tedious doing this by hand (and since I’m too lazy to practice my knife skills) I skip the option and end up with chopped veggies instead.
Bobbi Lively says
Happy Birthday!! I like Maria’s philosophy and believe I am only 28.
Kathryn Harris says
Happy birthday & a very Merry Christmas ☃❄️☃❄️☃❄️☃❄️☃❄️
Lorena Keech says
I work in a call center and it absolutely cracks me up when a caller starts griping about being old and how I’ll get it one day. Truth is, I’m probably older (by a lot) than 99 percent of those callers. But I am just a naturally upbeat, happy person and so I sound so much younger than my age. I truly believe age is mind over matter! Hope you have a great birthday!
Ralica says
Kevin, Have a wonderful happy 30th birthday. May you always stay young so we can continue to enjoy all the wonderful recipes & ideas you so lovingly share.
Elaine says
I hope you have a wonderful birthday on Wednesday Kevin, it is your special day and I hope you are spoiled! I have always loved my birthday and I try to make family birthdays special. Every day on this side of the grass is fabulous! I am retired now but while working I would take my birthday off and have lunch with a friend, go scouting around places to take pictures, I love photography, get a massage, manicure or pedicure any and all I could fit in, then I was taken out to supper by my hubby with with my daughter and son-in-law. Birthdays are wonderful, I hope yours is to! You are very kind to offer a gift on your birthday, thanks for the chance to win.

So, come 12/31/15 I will turn 64 and then I’m going to sing that Beatle song all year long! I thank all of you in advance for celebrating my birthday with me (how did you ever know)!

Have a very happy birthday and celebrate like you are 30! I just discovered your site a few weeks ago and love your ideas! In fact I had your spaetzel for lunch today and then planted some paper whites (a little late but what the heck?)
Marjie T. says
Happy Birthday!
Remember, numbers are just playthings. You can pick any number you like at any time.. I also like the idea of referring to “levels” instead of using “years”..like you might be at Level 50, which certainly is a lot cooler than only being at Level 30.
Betty says
Happy Birthday Kevin and many more. I am 77 and feel 50 and will stay at 50 I refuse to admit I am 77 going on 78 soon (March) except of course when the opportunity arises for a senior discount. ha ha ha ha The secret is to laugh at yourself and enjoy everyday to the fullest. I smile and talking to everyone and anyone and don’t care if they think I’m weird because life is too short.
I thank God every night and every morning for a wonderful day..
Diana@ gardenthymewithdiana.com says
Happy Birthday Kevin, mine is the 20th and I will be 65. No sense in hiding it. It is what it is, be proud. It took a lot to get where we are.

Happy Birthday, Kevin…and many more. Love your recipes, your garden and the hints given of both kinds (garden/food)!
Carol P. says
HAPPY BIRTHDAY KEVIN!
I am thankful of the years of yesterday and today, hoping to have a wonderful tomorrow. I grew up during Vietnam, and a lot of my friends didn’t make it back home. I lost a best friend 2 years ago to cancer…. so we need to be thankful however many years we have on this earth and just do good everyday and grow old happy! My husband’s birthday is Dec 19th. He never had a birthday before I came around…. they would just tell him to pick out a package under the tree. Since I came around, we celebrate he was born and be the love of my life!

Carol M says
Happy Birthday. Would it surprise you if I said if I were the lucky recipient I would not keep it for myself but gift it to a young lady who is learning to cook? It is true.
Marilyn Martin says
I love the Marla Gibbs idea. In fact, I woke up this morning and asked my husband if he thought we might change the world. His response was that idea is up to our kids now. We no longer have the energy. I told him that didn’t sound very optimistic. So I’m still trying!
Rita says
Happy Birthday. Hope you have a great day tomorrow. I hope we both do because my birthday is tomorrow also, but I am sure I am a lot older than you. I will be thinking of you as I celebrate mine. Enjoy yours.

Happy Birthday Kevin! May this be your Best year.
I could certainly could use this food processor. I still use an old hand crank food mill. I think its worn out or it has worn me out. Some of its parts are like new as I have never used them. This week I processed pumpkin I don’t buy it in a can. Good luck to everyone.
Merry Christmas
Candy says
Have a wonderful birthday! My husband had his birthday, yesterday. We had a fantastic drive and saw several Bald Eagles, deer, hawks and a beaver. Not to forget about all of the other birds and cows and sheep…you get the idea! I hope that your day will be as special as ours was, yesterday.

You only turn thirty ONCE, Kevin, so make sure you party-hearty! I’ll assume the party started last Friday night. Best wishes!
“When I turn thirty, in thirty days or so, I might be feeling old, so I’ll probably call my grandma up, because as old as I’ll feel, she’ll be feeling older. Twelve years older. ” Jarod Kintz
Liz says
Happy Birthday, Kevin! May all the joy you spread come back to you a millionfold. I’d like to add on to Maria’s idea and mention that I switch my age all the time. Some days I’m 17 and feel great. Other days, I’m 45 or 29 or 68 and enjoy what those have to offer. On the days that I’m 99, I’m just pleased as punch at how active and alive I still am 🙂
Cathy says
Happy Birthday. I love your words of wisdom!

Laura says
So, Kevin, who bakes YOUR cake and what is your favorite? Just back to Portland from our annual liquor run to California where a rep was promoting Don Q rum with samples of rum cake. I’d forgotten how good that is and it can be made without the cake mix/instant pudding combo of yore. I’ll be making one for a friend’s birthday on Tuesday and I will have a bite in your honor, Kevin.
Walter Kilmer says
Every thirty years I just reverse the clock so I am approaching infancy again!

Happy Birthday Kevin! My Grandmother’s Birthday was on December 7th too. Her name was Rose and I learned to bake a lot of different Hungarian baked goods from her.

All my best, Katherine

My husband’s mother said she “gave” him her birthday (they share that auspicious date) thus, she has turned 26 every single year since he was born, nice right? Many happy returns Kevin, and thanks for inspiring me to plant some formal boxwoods on my property, they give me such joy when I see them all neat and orderly in my chaotic yard!
Kelly B says
Happy birthday Kevin! Isn’t 80 the new 30?! Love winter sowing …. it’s about time to start!

Happy Birthday Kevin! Hope you have a wonderful day! 🙂
Terry S. says
If you are the lucky one to win this, consider finding a military family of a service member serving in the Middle East – or anywhere away from home for that matter, and pay it forward to them. I’m certain it would brighten their day. Remember, they serve just as we do (and did.)

Awwww..my mom’s birthday was Dec 7th too. Happy Birthday Kevin. Enjoy every minute.
Jannka says
Happy birthday!
Mine is right around the corner (34) but I teach high school and when the kids guess my age they always think I’m 25 for some reason (my immaturity?) which I guess is flattering but when I tell them I’m over 30 they get this look on their face and say NO WAY. You are not THAT OLD. Like I’m about to die of old age. So I guess it’s all in how you look at it!!!
Marcia says
Happy Birthday! Have a piece of cake (or several pieces) for me & enjoy your day! Thanks for the generous giveaway.

My father’s birthday is today — my first without him. My family — siblings, spouses, children and our mother gathered for dinner, just as we would have, had he been here. Enjoy your very special day tomorrow! (December 7 is the day I got engaged — 31 years ago!)
Ardelle says
Happy Birthday Kevin! Nothing gives me more pleasure than someone at the clinic telling me that they made an error on my birthday 🙂 Most people can’t believe my age – so keep on running, hiking, gardening and eating your veggies, dancing with your honey – if you don’t have one find one! My 6 year old granddaughter and I practiced her new ballet steps today and I’ve decided to take ballet lessons again to surprise her.
I’d love to replace my lovable overworked Cuisinart workhorse. Maybe Christmas will be the magic that makes it happen…
Mamie says
Happy Birthday!
Judy says
Happy Birthday, Kevin! I would love a new processor.
Mary Ann Wood says
Happy Birthday, Kevin! Your birthday was shared by Lady Lou Salley, my bestest friend evah! from Cleveland, Mississippi. A true Southern Belle – she always honored my Christmas birthday (yep! on the 25th) with a special Hummingbird Cake. I miss her so much.

Angelique says
Happy Birthday! … From one 30 year old to another 😉
Marjorie says
I have always been a cook. I used to manage and head cook of a restaurant. Went from dishwasher to manager. Love to cook so site will be fun. Gardening was learned from my Grandmothers love of flowers. The food processor has always been a dream to have. Happy Birthday.

Kevin Happy Birthday!!
Kerry says
Happy Birthday
Brenda Jahnke says
Happy birthday! My true age is 53, but I still mostly think of myself as being in my 30s, so I guess I’m kind of celebrating 30 all the time! And it’s ironic, I actually really enjoyed my 40s more than my 30s.
Dana Hutchinson says
I have NO clue who Marla Gibbs is, must be before my time!
Ritta schlappe says
I do the same thing as Marla. You are only as old as you think you are.
Happy Birthday
Tracey Mead says
Happy Birthday, Kevin. Wishing you a year filled love, good friendship and great health!
Bonnie says
I never win anything but I would love to win this as my hands can’t hold stuff for long at a time too many surgeries on them. Anyhow, Happy Birthday to you and hope you have many more to come. Can you tell me where to go to see the winners? I never did see who won the blue Mixed. Thanks again for all you share. Happy Birthday!!!
Marjory W says
My Cuisinart is over 30 years old, so I’d love a shiny new one.
Sandy says
Happy 30th Birthday! I have been 39 on my birthdays for some years and in fact now have children who are older than me! I found your column recently and really enjoy your recipes and ideas and presentation.
Lori says
Have had a mini processor for years, but it is never big enough. Would love to win.
Bonnie says
Happy Birthday Kevin! I hope you had a wonderful day! Thank you so much for all the great recipes and articles you post. This food processor would sure make my life a lot easier. I have several medical issues that make every day things rather difficult for me. I’ve never had a food processor, but it would save me trying to cut things up by hand.
Laura Graham says
Happy birthday to you, Kevin. I hope you have a good birthday week. Mine is tomorrow on the 8th. Marla has a great idea for staying young. I’ll just be 30, too. If I win the processor, I will make the Sweet Potato Egg Nests. They look divine.
Eugene Ryba says
Happy Birthday Kevin. May you have many more
Jeanne Marie says
I didn’t see this until now. I have been working on my wood to get ready for winter if it ever comes. It would be great to have a Cuisinart especially red. Look forward to your blogs ! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
Eugene Ryba says
Happy Birthday Kevin. May you have many more.
lynn scarry says
Happy Birthday Kevin, my son’s was on the 5th Dec ,only he was riding his motorbike at “the Roof of the World” in South Africa, and fell down a mountain! He appears to be fine and is on his way home, back tomorrow. So I’m very used to Sagittarius boys….LOVE the attitude and sense of fun. Have a great day x
cathy says
That would go very nicely with my red rubber spatula. I’ve been 39 now for quite some years…didn’t think I could get away with just 30.
Cathy says
Happy Birthday!! And Many Many More!!
Theresa says
Happy Birthday Kevin! May your love and generosity be returned to you in birthday blessings that abound both above and beyond all you could ask or imagine!!
MARY L. THOMAS says
Happy Birthday Kevin. May you have a wonderful year.
Your web site is my favorite pastime on line. My husband is just making me a glass shelved inside garden for the window, and I hope it looks as great as yours does. I will be 76 in February – but I am visualizing a me age 30 and it feels nice! Thanks!
Jesse says
My mom lil’ secret, never reveal your age or you’ll get older than you should. She’s in her 60’s, never look like one, not a single white hair. I am learning from her. 😉
Happy Birthday Kevin! Blessed years ahead.
Rita says
Hope your birthday is great, Kevin. Thanks for your wonderful blog. It’s like a bit of bright sun in my inbox. Your tree is beautiful, and those curtains matching the drapes…..wow! Beautiful home, gardens and beautiful life; you are truly blessed and so are we for your sharing it all with us.
SharonS says
Happy Birthday Kevin!!! Have an awesome Day! How sweet of you to do a giveaway on your Birthday. The processor is a beauty! I would love to have one to give it a whirl! 🙂

Cathy Z. says
Happy Birthday! Mine was this last Friday and this would be an awesome gift!
Barbara R. says
Happy Birthday, Kevin! I agree with Maria and think the same way. I found your blog 2 months ago and have already implemented your suggestions for planting garlic, using muched leaves and planting tulips and daffodils. Can’t wait to see the results in the Spring!
Susan D. Maguire says
I was just in your home state of NY for Thanksgiving, but ended up in the ER my first night there having emergency gall bladder surgery. Needless to say, I hope your birthday is MUCH better than my Thanksgiving!
Deb Nelson says
I hope you have a fabtabulous Birthday! A good food processor is an essential part of every cooks repertoire! You are so generous!
Peter says
Happy B-day. Good to be only 30.
Laura says
Wishing you a wonderful birthday! I always say that we all got it wrong with birthdays…every year should be a bigger celebration as the year before that way, as we get older, even though the number increases so does the celebration get better and we have something to look forward to.
lin says
Happy Birthday!
Rhonda says
Happy Birthday
Margie says
Happy Birthday! Last night I spent awhile researching the bay tree. Seems very interesting and I decided I will add on or two to my garden this spring. Have you tried to grow bay Kevin?
Pam says
HappyBirthday!

kyle says
Happy Birthday Kevin!
I don’t mind telling people my age, but I totally believe in learning to keep brain cells perking. I
take online courses (MOOCS) sponsored by MIT and Harvard. They created EDx. Free online courses sponsored by wonderful colleges and universities not only in the US but around the world. I’ve taken 5 so far. You can work for certificates (or not).
I loved it and learned a lot!
Sarah C says
Happy Happy Birthday to you. Love the site and such a thoughtful giveaway. Hope its a wonderful year around the sun for you. Many thanks!
deborah says
Happy Birthday, Kevin.

Happy Birthday, Kevin! Love your blog!

Happy Birthday Kevin, enjoy the day with Lily and the Silver Fox. My kitchen is turquoise and red. The food processor would look great in my kitchen
Heike says
Happy 30th, Kevin 😉 What a beautiful red on that food processor. Nice giveaway again.
Maggie, Sugar Bear and Roxy wanted me to give a bark out to Ms. Lily.
Meg says
Happy 30th! We don’t go by numbers around here. My family’s philosophy on aging is that one should wear out not rust out. And “work hard but play harder.”
The only question is, does the food processor fall into the work or play category?
Annette says
Happy Birthday!!
Donna Aul says
“Happy Birthday Kevin”
Christine Carpenter says
Happy Birthday! Another milestone (30) … Thank you for sharing your words of advice and wisdom. I have learned a lot from your posts. Blessings for this year to you and your family.

margaret says
If I remember Marla when she WAS 30, then I too am forever 30! Happy Birthday, Kevin! And in case you’re reading this; A friend and I are presenting a make-it/take-it workshop using your winter sowing idea for our Waterford Garden Club Feb. meeting. We hope it will provide many plants to sell at our annual fund-raiser in May. Thanks to your brilliant ideas we might be saving ourselves hours of backbreaking digging, potting, hauling, & clean up, though most of our sale will probably still involve traditional hard work. I’m hoping to convince them this might be an answer, especially for folks like me who have physical limitations but love to garden. THANKS!
Cathy ODaniel says
Happy, Happy, Kevin. Love Marla’s way of thinking and going to adopt it too. The red food processor is very festive looking just in time for the holiday celebrations.
Kathleen Killmeyer says
Happy Birthday you young thing you! Have a super day!

Happy Birthday Kevin! You share this birth date with my wonderful son in law!
Marney says
Happy Birthday!!
I have a food processor of my own, but the farmer I apprenticed with needs a new one for her commercial use of making pesto…
Can’t hurt to try!
Thank you & enjoy your 30’s!
donna says
HAPPY DAYS AHEAD KEVIN.

Happy Birthday! I’m grateful for each birthday and each grey hair… proof I’ve managed to survive! My dreams keep me young… they all involve things “just any old lady” wouldn’t be able to do… hahaha!
Donna says
Happy Belated Birthday! Can’t wait to open your email to see what you made to tempt me. Only problem is when there are only two of us, I could become very heavy. I love food and baking. When our children were home – I could bake every day. Recipes I’ve tried were always keeper’s. Thank you for your website. At 81, I still learn about new things.
Eileen Lilley says
Hi Kevin,
Thank you for offering these gifts to us, as if your blog isn’t enough of a gift! You share your birthday with my oldest grandson, he will be 18, I know, I know….I’m too young to have a grandson that young…..LOL HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Oh, I agree whole heartedly, stay 30 forever!

I’m 70 going on 30. Don’t have a food processor but really need one.
Jill Moore says
Happy Birthday Kevin! Not a thing you can do about aging so just embrace it!
Linda Carlson says
Happy Birthday Kevin! Red is my favorite color and I don’t have a food processor. I’ve been thinking of getting one. I hope I win! Love your gardening tips and recipes. I noticed one recipe that called for a Bay leaf and you mentioned Schilling spices. I have a Bay tree in a pot. You should get one if you don’t have one. It is about 18″ tall after one season. I bury the pot in my raised garden for the summer months, and bring it indoor for the winter. I will send you a photo the next time I am at our farm.
It will take you several days to read all the nice comments. I have enjoyed reading them as well.
Lauren says
Happy Birthday and may you be blessed with many more to come!
Wonderful blog!

Best Birthday wishes to you, Kevin! I have been following your recipes and inspiration since I first read about fabulous Venus in your garden. I wonder how old she was when she lost her head ….?
Melissa Sater says
Darling, I got to tell you something
And I don’t say this to everybody
You look marvelous
Absolutely marvelous
You know, my dear
My father used to say to me
Nando, don’t be a schnook
It’s not how you feel
It’s how you look
He was marvelous but you, darling
You look marvelous
Absolutely marvelous
And this is from my heart
Which is deep inside my body
It is better to look good
Than to feel good
Happy Birthday 😉

This Cuisinart giveaway is so timely, too! My old one just died, as we are adopting more healthy recipes into our newly blended family. This would be a godsend.

Well, I’m still on the younger side of 40 for a couple of years yet, but I feel so young in so many ways! I cannot BELIEVE I’m an adult, lol. Age is just a number, and I say go ahead and age with as much grace as you can, because you can’t stop it from happening! Enjoy your blog a great deal. Thanks!

M Plaza says
I will never forget an interview to Diana Nyad when she was about to try to swim from Cuba to Florida (she made it on her 5th attempt):
“I have no idea what age I am,” she says. “I don’t feel different in any way. People say, ‘Maybe you should take more recovery time between swims because of your age.’ I’m like, oh. My age. I forgot.”
And that’s my motto ever since I read the article: “oh. My age. I forgot…”

Happy Birthday Kevin.
Aging isn’t so bad, as long as you do it gracefully. You’re only as old as you feel. Some days it might be – as old as the mountains -, other days – like a spring chicken. Just listen to your body. Don’t push it.
Thanks for all the gardening info AND you’re delicious recipes.
Merry Christmas

Happy birthday Kevin!!!
Lyne Airdrie Alberta. Canada says
Happy Birthday Kevin. I hope the celebration for the day of your birth is extra special no matter which number it is. You can celebrate any number you want. Personally, when people ask my age I just tell them I am not 50. I am then telling the truth as I was 50 a few years back. People just assume I am under 50 so that suits me fine. After all what does it matter the number of years as long as we live each one to the fullest.
Jan says
Happy Birthday and many more 30ths! I myself have seen 30 quite a few times 😉 And my current Cuisinart has also been 30 for a while…

Mary Langenbrunner says
HAPPY BIRTHDAY….Happy Beagle Day!!! I LOVE food processors….I have one that was purchased at Target…’okay’ one. I was watching an episode of those old ladies that live together in Florida….what is the name of the series???? In any event, I ‘spotted’ my 1970s food processor on their counter….I thought it was a hoot. That food processor (GE I think) lasted me 40 years….it broke and I attempted to purchase a new part for it….it was listed in the ‘antiques’ and I was unable to fix it….would LOVE a reliable, new, red, food processor…..have a great holiday season.
JR says
Birthdays are so much better than the alternative…positively should be much appreciated!
Hope you had a wonderful day!
Julie R says
Happy Birthday Kevin ! I have a December birthday too, the day after Christmas. I like the philosophy of turning 30 again = ) otherwise I would be turning 50 in a few weeks. Thanks for giving all of us a chance to win this food processor.

Emily Arzola says
Blessed Birthday!! Never seen this combination color before..
Patricia Nadreau says
Happy Belated Birthday Kevin. I would love to have this food processor. I am currently using a very old (20+ years) processor which was a cheaper model. I didn’t use it for many years but since reading your blog, I have dragged it out and I am using it again. It did work pretty well when I made the Cranberry Tart pastry, but it is a bit chipped up. I don’t know how much longer it will work. Hope you had a wonderful birthday. I also try to get younger each year and it is definitely good that we are still having them (birthdays that is).
Maria L. Diaz says
Happy Birthday! You Sagittarius men look young forever! My Husband’s birthday was Sunday. Maria Luisa
