Me too!! Sigh!Same here
I worked at a bank in a prior role for about 10 years. When I was promoted to a “bank officer,” my signature became official. You better believe I read and understood everything I signed at the bank because I’d be the one going to prison if something wasn’t right and my signature was on the document! Fanny…bad things really can happen if you’re caught cooking the books. You can’t bat your eyes and use a “get out of jail free” card!I’m the president of our corporation and I’m the only one that’s going to prison if things go South with his cruddy book keeping
Thanks! I needed that info.The neck hair is different than the occasional chin hairs right? Asking for a friend.![]()
Well, if you use egg yolks emulsified with olive oil, yes, then you get mayonnaise, but in this recipe you don't use egg yolks for the sauce, but 2 (or 3, it depends) hardboiled eggs, plus the rest and then in the mixer. That's not mayonnaise.What will they think? That you served them, your fanciest guests, a cheap and chintzy lunch.
Here's what they serve at the exemplary nearby restaurant, Le Relais du Facteur, this time of year, their €13 and €17 menus. Please note, Fanny, even really inexpensive menus this time of year feature meat.
You could have made a Truite Meuniere au buckwheat -- freshwater fish a local specialty, as the Nadaillacs will know. A little fricasee of asparagus and courgettes with savory. Or squab, witches, with petits pois, but that would require you to go grocery shopping. That is what one hospitable local restauranteur serves this time of year on their cheap menu. But you had what, 8 oz. of prosciutto to share with -- 10 people for lunch?
Also in season local fresh chevre, tomme of Savoie, raspberries, beets, peach, melons, cherries, and apricots.

Perhaps I have misunderstood.
I was taught that egg yolks emulsified with oil is mayonnaise. That's the chemical compound which results from that process. No matter what else you put into it. You don't put mayonnaise in it, you make the mayonnaise by emulsifying the egg yolks with the oil. As your recipe stipulates.
I think we're going to agree to disagree.

OMG, I remember watching Planet of the Apes. I found it scary, so I was not allowed to watch it as I had nightmares. I also thought Donny and I had it made as my favourite colour is purple, sad times.I remember our first colour tv being delivered and set up. The first programme we watched was Planet of the Apes (tv series not movie) So It must have been 1974 or 75. I think I was the last one of my school friends to get a colour tv. Still no remotes though! It was my job to get up and down to change the channel, or change volume, because I was the youngest. My favourite show to watch was the Donny and Marie Osmond show on Saturday nights. Regularly watched with my best friend Debbie, holding hairbrushes, singing and dancing along. Oh the simple times!

I remember Michael saying once that his family lived in a trailer park for some time and that he once had to sell his precious teapot (or something similar) in order to afford some equipment for his disabled brother. Does anyone else remember these stories, or did I dream them? Perhaps they just had temporary money issues, but because of those stories, I've always had the impression that Michael grew up slightly poor and that his family essentially won the lottery when Gwen let them all move in.I don't think the Petherick snr's were hard up though. Michael got private lessons in music as well as the necessary instruments, art and design etc. Sadie had a horse (who knows, maybe more than one) and was transported around the country to shows and gymkanas. Don't know what Billy's thing was but can't believe he was left out. Billy actually has good taste when he is antique shopping, no tat. Grandma and Grandpa have a nice house which is their own full of antiques etc. So I don't think they were poor.
Belfast is bleak, Londonderry is worse. However, away from the cities, the countryside is stunning. If you've ever seen Game of Thrones, most of "the North", much of the Dothraki homelands and North of the Wall were filmed in NI, so you can see by that how beautiful it is... when it actually stops raining.There's a YTuber called ZOT, he covered the Freedom rallies in Ottawa this winter... anyways, he is in Europe, and visited Northern Ireland... it looked so bleak, I couldn't believe it looked like that.
The covering the mouth thing while eating drives me nuts. Most people have seen people eat and it’s not like there’s something grotesque happening in the mouth area. Unless you’re pretending to be from the eighteenth century there’s absolutely no reason for it.I suppose the Nadaillac visit once a year to celebrate the luck they got in finding the idiot who bought their heap of rotting stones and therefore getting rid of that crumbling dump of a moneypit.
And maybe I'm very mean, but I can't stand her when she eats something and makes all those faces and verses and covers her mouth like a little baby, like for the goosberry. I mean, it's just a goosberry, come on!
Ah, I eventually got what you meant before about the hard bread things. They are taralli! Can't eat them because they are very hard, but nice, especially the ones with onions or chili powder.
I go to cinemas to get cool after filling up with snacks from the supermarket and driving home with the AC on full before trying to sleep with all the windows open to catch the tiniest bit of seabreeze. But, right now, I am dressed in layers and ugg boots and hovering over the gas fire. 8C with high forecast 13C. Want to swap?It's been 40°+C all week here, but at least we're all equipped with AC, patio misters, and pools.
I hope the folks in France can find some respite. Back in the day, during heat waves when I had no AC I would keep spare bed sheets in the fridge and spend as much time in larger grocery stores and shops to take advantage of their AC.

One of my ex colleagues has booked me for facial hair duty should she EVER be lying in hospital in a coma..........How rotten is it that just as our eyesight starts to be less than perfect, we start sprouting neck hair?!?!
The rule in our house is, if you see it, tell me!!! I will be more upset if you don’t point out some thing I have missed and you let me go out into public like that.![]()
Being Native I have no hair on my arms... But a little bit of peach fuzz on the sides of my face near the hair line... Since dermaplaining makeup goes on smoother there... No hair and it exfoliation all in one...For all the tartlets complaining about peach fuzz or stray hairs “for a friend”, look into dermaplaning. You can have it done or do it yourself. It is amazing.
Side note when I Googled tattlelife CD was the highest ranking thread... With you guys other favorite narc Megan and Harry 2nd...Being Native I have no hair on my arms...
