The Chateau Diaries #236 Tattlers have seen a crotch quiz and tulip-gate, but NO renovations or accounts!

Oh isn’t it cute, even Dragonzord managed to make it into the top comments…

You were so close, sweetheart.

I would like to save to wiki the wheres Tony it will be taken down in a couple days. How do I do it?

I've got it archived, but I'm hesitant to repost it. I will however gladly repost it and add it to the wiki, should something problematic happen e.g. changing the narrative, gaslighting the audience or just straight up lying. Right now Tracey is hiding behind her grandson and asking for kindness - I would like to show some grace... for now.

Not the best way to promote yourself, eh Ruthie....

@ComtesseRose I was going to say you are peach but then thought about all the peaches in the last thread instead you are the bomb!

Just call me a watermelon. Big, Bodacious, Juicy & Delicious.

Should anyone care, this is a NASTURTIUM leaf, not a marigold leaf, as Fanny oohed and aahed over it.

Remember when she thought Michael Petherick's drawing of a heron was a stork? LOL

Maybe I’ve got a feet issues?

I guess you won't subscribe to my foot fetish Only Fans then...

Dylan Mulvaney absolutely makes me cringe hard. (And I'm all about supporting my Trans brethren!)

I have stayed at many B&Bs and most often had scrumptious breakfasts. Homemade breakfast casseroles, homemade muffins and sweet breads, crispy bacon and sausage....once crepes! Fresh fruit cups with yogurt... Coffee, juices.... Mini individual egg souffles.
Not a hard boiled egg and packaged cold ham slices. No urine in a tureen. I would be hoarding the bakery goods except for knowing they were rolling around loose in a filthy car. No thanks, ma'am! I will pass.

For accommodation in the middle of nowhere, expensive accommodation, breakfast is really poor. I have already commented on breakfast on this forum once and I was attacked in a "style" that what do I know.
I still think that the breakfast is shameful for the price of the accommodation. Some fried egg, pancakes, maybe some kind of meat more than ham for a sandwich, more kinds of cheese....
For the rest, if there is a surplus from breakfast, it can all be used in a dish, pizza, or pasta. There are a lot of hungry mouths in LL and there will be more this season.
Shame.

 

[jojonz]

thank you so much Comtess, I agree with your decision. Grateful thanks.

I originally came here when I came upon saving Gwendoline thread. However I ahve had the lalacelle in my sights ever since the go fund me.
Tattlers showed their research skills especially one who checked the weather and no wind that night. How it all came down is really suspicious.

They have done the begging, done the patreon, tried to get Stephaine viewers (but she wasn't giving them anything). IMHO they will be the next Stephaine. Now they are runing I think two or three a week all for the money.

Its definately over between them and Tony, I went back to see his last appearences, the telling one is showing off the cottage. Tracey is doing sucky faces when he speaks, Terry and Tracey no eye contact with him and over talking. He was only shown if it was about the cottage or doing something needing people like the road. He has obviously outlasted his usefulness.

But yes a child they are expoliting more and more on screen now, one at ten who wanted his own channel (mentioned a few months back) in there new promo he came before Tony as the future and Tony just appeared as picture, later they put in a few words. Thats when I really had them in myscope sight.

Thank you @ComtesseRose for setting up the new thread and all your hard work. Much appreciated by this (post) menopausal hag hater. Excellent title @Patriciarella and @MRShavershamsdress .

A small request @Patriciarella ... more squirrel comedy please

Hate to say it but not all croissants are made with butter. A number of our local boulangeries offer croissants made with all butter or cheaper ones not made with butter but vegetable fat. However, I bet they don't know that and buy the most expensive ones. You don't even want to know what goes into the supermarket mass produced ones!

Curved croissants are made with oil/margarine.
Butter croissants are straight.

Our supermarket croissants smell like chemicals...

Thank you @Dragomiroff for mentioning your shoes on situation. I was feeling embarrassed and keeping shtum about wearing shoes in the house. We also are not a shoes off at the front door household. I too absolutely do not want to see other people's ragged socks and disgusting toes and/or toenails We have solid tiled floors all round, easily swabbed and cleaned. Your reminiscence with your toenail guy sent my into a vomiting shudder I'd have run a mile. And I hate my own feet being messed about with and just kick out. Don't use bleach for the same reason and also can't stand the smell of it. Though fanny and her tit'o could indeed do with a good soaking in it. Growing up my mother bleached everything from the dish cloth to the teapot and everything in between. No care for the fact that it in went into the general water course and ended up as recycled drinking water. Living with a fully functioning and healthy fosse sceptique one becomes fully aware of what is and isn't good!

Same here got my indoor flip flops, tiled floors throughout but with 4 cats, dog and a plumber it can get a bit grubby. Vacuum every day and mop where needed. No bleach household, you've got to take care of the fosse as if you don't you're in the tit for sure. I'm very protective of my fosse septique.

Just looked up the recipe you make a sponge and then make the sponge into crumbs and add condensed milk and a few other things definitely needs raspberry coulis and cream and that stupid shovel totally not worth eating

I thought it looked dry AF and I'd be mad if that was brought to me for dinner as dessert, particularly after a skimpy dinner of two or three baby carrots and a tiny half of a duck breast!

Well, ladies and gentlemen (I use the term loosely )…I just entered the great state of Tennessee (that’s the place whose name sounds like an Italian seasoning @HalcyonOrganic ). I’m on my way to Florida and looking forward to some time on the beach. Catching a flight and will be there in a few hours. I’ll be joining you in the VIP lounge this evening from the Sunshine State!

Bon voyage, @KyBourbon safe travels. See you at the bar. Is there a band tonight in honour of our new VIP's @billybudd and a special menu?

Did I see and hear correctly…they served the potatoes without removing the “eyes?” Is that a thing now? I wonder if they even washed the potatoes before serving. We don’t want to remove the original “patina,” do we?

I think as it is France there should be an abundance of pastries, pain au raisin, pain au chocolate, croissant, bread lots of jams, yoghurt and fresh fruit and maybe a compote-very French what she offers is the absolute minimum and minimum effort

Well, acquiring all that wonderful food requires planning and preparation. And we know that’s in short supply at the farmhouse. How could Fanny and PhiPhi plan meals when they spend the last minute painting, wallpapering, and attempting to clean that dump? Those guests were lucky to get a piece of toast! Once again, not their priority. The priority is Dubai, London, shopping, etc. SJ…don’t insult our intelligence and tell us you didn’t have enough time to prepare for your paying guests!

All available at the Boulangerie just that Fanny only allows them budget for one pastry each the tight arse. I think her mean spirit combined with her avarice are her two worst characteristics. You have a fabulous vacation. See you in the lounge xxxx

Dessert looked like a dinosaur turd.

Pterodactyl

I don't know which one...
WTF was the shovel thing for?

I don't think I've ever seen a "straight" croissant (behave @HalcyonOrganic ). In our neck of the woods, in the boulangeries, they're all crescent shaped butter or otherwise. There's no real telling what shape the supermarket ones are they are so bashed up and abused sulking on the shelves it's a wonder anyone buys them. Maybe they are bought for sniffing the chemicals!

It wasn’t a real potato. The dessert was just made to look like a potato.

Perhaps they rubbed them over the pantry door for that extra special patina...

"If the potato has only a few and short sprouts, there is no health risk. You should cut out the sprouts, the so-called eyes, generously. Then nothing stands in the way of preparation. As a rule of thumb: shoots up to one centimetre can be removed; the potato is still edible. If the tuber has longer sprouts or green spots, you should discard the potato to be on the safe side."

When we have what Fanny offers to paying guests (cornflakes, plain yogurt, honey, jam, butter, one type of cheese and a ham sandwich) in our house, we feel that we have nothing left to eat in the house and that we urgently need to go shopping.
So much for Fanny's hospitality.
