The Chateau Diaries #232 Daffodils are not the only micro thing at the shatto

[HalcyonOrganic]

Gooder is clearly one from the Chateau or Brenda. IF Brenda at all.

No owner of a company (lalande, in that case) would allow a regular fan to speak in their name. There is to much risk that a regular person would say something wrong, hand out false informations, or would cause trouble for the company.

Some companies forbid employees to post on social media anything business related.

Thank you! We had a late breakfast (brunch), so I served breakfast casserole, potatoes, a cheese grit casserole (a southern US favorite!), pastries, and fresh fruit salad. I also made deviled eggs! I learned to make the deviled eggs from my grandfather…he used mayonnaise, some yellow mustard, sugar, and white vinegar. It gives the egg filling a smooth texture, and the sugar/vinegar gives them a “sweet and sour” taste, I also sprinkle paprika on them, too!

Sounds amazing!!!! Delicious! Yes I am southern also. That's why I asked. I know my people throw it DOWN during the holidays. (I'm going to copy that egg recipe. I used Paula Deen's but it was missing something.)

M&M's mom I am waking up my entire house laughing at your reunion story. That is the funniest thing I've heard in a while. lol

 

[Beachgirl]

I noticed also, that clip was edited to not show Potts’ ‘pot belly’, which was evident during the egg hunt.
So nothing spontaneous about it at all

Is this a paid sponsorship @Beachgirl

guessing not as there’s only 15 of us

Yes I guess it is as it’s with my sons money so gift courtesy of Mr ***** *****. He shuns publicity so no photos.

 

[Lady Avonlea]

A hired someone or potts.

Do you think with our chauteau chat, behind chateau doors and chateau teapot upcoming channel SJ will increase renovation activities and flogs?

She now faces the power of combined 3, who will regularly post a video where they will disect her flog. To prove the sinners wrong, SJ must do something. Same with Selmars revelations.

Viewer comments will also be consolidated in one place without benefit of nasty trolls like SGirl, Beckynater or Brenda Gibbons deleting comments.

You sound like the perfect host but can I ask what a breakfast casserole is. I can’t think of anything over here which could be described as that.

I wish I could give you measuring portions on the deviled egg recipe, but I don’t have any…it’s all by eye (and taste). Don’t go overboard with the yellow mustard (it’s really used more for color). I add in the sugar and vinegar until it has the right sweet/sour taste. I use a lot of sugar . And I use an electric mixer to get the smooth texture.

Sausages, potatoes, eggs, jam, Nutella, cheese, cereals…basically everything you eat at breakfast thrown into a pot.

I’m struggling to make any sense sense of this. The basic course fee is a little under $300? With the option to pay a premium to unlock further benefits within different tiers? How are these add-ons “free” if one is paying for them?

There is every chance I’m being mega dim but, to me, her marketing strategy is as clear as mud.

And $997 is a seriously irritating figure. If she wants to avoid a round thousand, why not $995?

Sounds a bit like my cooking.

You sound like the perfect host but can I ask what a breakfast casserole is. I can’t think of anything over here which could be described as that.

In the Southern US, a breakfast casserole is a dish that includes eggs, bread, and some kind of meat (sausage, bacon, ham). There’s all kinds of recipes, but here’s an easy one. I like to make breakfast casseroles because they can be prepped ahead of time and cooked the day of your event.

INGREDIENTS
UNITS: US

• 1 lb mild bulk sausage
• 6 eggs
• 2 cups milk
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon dry mustard
• 6 slices white bread (cubed)
• 1 cup cheddar cheese (grated)

DIRECTIONS

• Crumble and brown sausage. Drain and cool.
• In a large bowl, beat eggs, then add milk, salt, and dry mustard.
• Add bread cubes; stir.
• Add cheese and browned sausage; mix well.
• Cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Next morning, place in a 9 x 13-inch pan and bake at 350 degrees F for 45 minutes.

Finally caught up. That last thread was hilarious. Jules I cannot WAIT for the new channel! This is going to be amazing.

That sounds rather lovely, I’ve saved the recipe so I shall try it out one day.

 

[ComtesseRose]

full of herself

You know... I'd totally be full of myself, but I let other, kind-hearted and wonderful gentlemen do that. Fill me up that is.

 

[Kotare]

“faded old soak” or ageing roué or, because I like alliterations, lacklustre lounge lizard.

Love your turn of phrase and I’m a Potty lover.

Spoiler: Devilled Eggs

I just use Hellmans (aka Best Foods here in NZ) and curry powder.

It’s a bit skewed that one has to be on F/B in order to participate - loads of people don’t do F/B. Seems rather odd to assume it’s a platform that would suit one and all. Would I sign up to F/B just to do a course? Nope, Would I sign up (and pay for) a course run via F/B. Nope.

Somehow it seems rather casual.

There was an eyeful of his saggy belly hanging over the waistband of his undies as he climbed backwards down the ladder into the moat.

Blink and you miss it.

Will the real Caroline Gooder please stand up?

I clicked on Caroline Gooder’s comment on Stephanie’s Easter vlog and this is her YouTube ID. “carolinegooder7091”. Then, I clicked on Caroline Gooder’s comment on the new channel collaboration under Chateau Chat’s channel, and she has a different YouTube ID “carolinegooder”. I would assume each member of the Dump has their own respective Caroline Gooder login, which would explain how she/he is commenting almost 24 hours per day. Don’t worry, Phillip. We know which one is yours. Your sarcasm shines through. Now, does someone want to let the real unsuspecting Caroline Gooder in NC know that the people at the dump are using her name to troll people? Hmm. I’m too tired to go back and look at other comments but I would imagine there are multiple Caroline Gooders. We should probably keep a list and assign them to members of the dump.

It’s almost like a crustless quiche. Sounds delicious.

@KyBourbon love a breakfast casserole! Wait til the shitoo steals that recipe...looking at you Maria & Kim Raad. Be sure to give credit to Tattle's KyBourbon
