Ceviche is AWESOME! I have made it with fish and also shrimp! One tip I Iearned is soak your seafood in a separate batch of citrus juice, once it is "cooked", drain it, then mix the seafood in with the other ingredients with fresh citrus juice. This cuts down a bit of the bitter taste and makes it way more fresh tasting. Some Mexican recipes use octopus or calamari. Love the video! You two are so awesome! Your videos are so relaxing they are like free therapy for me! Keep up the great work!

Hello there, I would like to start out by saying that I think your videos on KZitem are produced very well. I think your homesteading videos are done very well. I can't say anything bad about your video. You've done very well every time I watch them. I've been watching your videos for about a year to a year and a half now and really enjoy them. I don't usually get a smile on any particular videos that I would have to say. Your videos give me a big smile every time I watch your video when they come out. You did very well in the garden. Build in your videos. You did very well. I'm putting up your tiller panels on top of the trailer that you put it on. You've done very well and your chicken run outside greenhouse build and the new chicken run indoors as well. I saw that very well done. I can't say anything. Really bad you guys I give you 👍👍 up.

She actually also loves to do gardening things and loves learning about all the different kinds of plants!!! This year has definitely been one of are best and biggest gardens that we have done and actually turned out!!! We have already been harvesting from are garden for probably the past month or longer!!! My better half herd that you guys was planting some tomatelas and she had never tried planting those before and she also would love to now more for what you guys use them for also?????? We had gotten 4 plants from a church planting that the church gives away certain plants every Saturday for a month or so long and it is a free will donation!! We was able to get so many new varieties of vegetables that we had never grown before and I would definitely say that every one has turned out really good!!! One that we had gotten and had never seen before are a cucumber plant we believe that they are but the cucumbers get to be anywhere from 2’ long to 4’ long and have a wavy outer skin to them also!!! We are not exactly sure what they would be good to use for but we have been adding a bunch to her salad that she takes for lunch every day!!! Please let us know more about the tomatillos and what you guys use them for in one of your upcoming videos please 🙏 !!!!! My better half keeps asking me how your tomatillos plants are doing and if you have talked about them any more also??? Lol!!! I believe that are tomatillos are just about ready to pick shortly hopefully!!!! Awesome video!!! Oh and do you guys make like a salsa with a bunch of things from your garden??? We would definitely love to try and make some salsa out of some of the things in our garden this year also and would love to see what all you guys like in your salsa that you might make???? We definitely don’t like wasting the items that we get from are garden but with just two of us and just so so many tomatoes, peppers, jalapeños, and many other things we definitely are needing to find other ways to use stuff up!!! We do have chickens so anything that we can’t eat we give back to our chickens and they definitely love the stuff from are garden also!!!!
