Once a month (1st Friday) my husband gives me a fabulous foot rub whether he wants to or not. I do have regular pedicures but have bunions so not the prettiest feet. What a guy! I do believe he loves me.
I just watched it. While I appreciate that she is "allegedly" trying to minimalise the waste, she is only serving the bare bones of brekkie (croissant, pan au chocolat, bread, butter, jam, juice and coffee)- of course there will be food waste when this is your actual business! Why not send some of the leftover pastries in a bag with the guests when they leave? Problem solved, and they have a snack for the road! The empty mini jam jars- why?!? Is she insane?!? Those jars will constantly need to be cleaned, sanitized and someone needs to refill them- kind of gross. One can not just scoop jam into them and leave them out for the next guests. Why on earth is she not not just sourcing a restaurant supply store to purchase miniature jars of jam?!? (And yes, Bonne Maman makes them in miniature!)
Karen's meager brekkie offerings (um, hello? You advertise your business as a "Bed and BREAKFAST"!) actually make Fanny's sad offerings (which I suspect are more for show lately than anything- it is the beginning of a new season at CLL, and we know full well the pickings get slimmer as the season progresses because Fanny is busy traveling and everyone gets lazy.) But, I'd probably fail financially if I were a B&B owner- I love to cook elaborate meals for my own friends and family when they stay with us, and they usually leave with tighter waistbands.
I don't follow him, but his page is public.
** I belly laughed that he calls himself an Artist/actor/singer! I guess it would be a tad too much for even him to call himself an "engineer" or "interior designer" or "gigolo".
I like Camille. She is actually like who I thought Fanny was. She’s always handling things, getting stuck in with nasty messy jobs, giving things a go. Fanny just pretends to be like that.
My former FIL wrote the music for that movie.
Why don’t they at least try to make French dishes. Where’s the crepes? Where’s the Crème Brûlée? Where’s the mussels? Pomme frites? How bout some snails?
YOU are truly the luckiest woman in the world! He is a KEEPER!!!Once a month (1st Friday) my husband gives me a fabulous foot rub whether he wants to or not. I do have regular pedicures but have bunions so not the prettiest feet. What a guy! I do believe he loves me.
I don't eat breakfast when I'm at home, I just can't stand the smell of food right after I get up, so I can't really eat anything until about 10:00/10:30 a.m. But if I'm on vacation? Oh, I can chow down on a good breakfast........eggs, French toast, waffles, salty, well-cooked bacon, oatmeal, fresh fruit.....if it's there, I'll try it and if I like it, I'll eat it. Just about the only thing I won't eat is toast or pancakes (I'm probably the only person on the planet who doesn't care much for pancakes). At 7:30/8:00 in the morning, even! So weird. Maybe it's because someone else is making it? But then, I'll likely not eat lunch because I'm so full!
Reminds me of when I was a child (9) and my family travelled for the first time to visit my Aunt & Uncle who were living in quite a beautiful estate in the Caribbean and had staff. My Aunt (mother's sister) had married very well. My Uncle was lovely, but my Aunt was a stuck up *itch who put on airs and liked to lord it over people.
I still recall one dinner on that trip when a silver platter was placed down with a giant cow's tongue. The side dishes were just as unappetizing. I don't know what my Aunt was thinking serving that for the main course as the kids visiting were 6, 9 and 13. None of us were picky eaters and we had proper table manners (parents wouldn't tolerate anything less), but I could barely look at, let alone eat, any of the food. I tried my best, but honestly thought I was going to gag. Finally, I was excused from the table and sent to the TV room. The cook brought me 3 bowls of peach ice cream.
Just to confirm what sort of $itch my Aunt was, when I was 14 I travelled on my own for a visit. One evening we went to a very expensive restaurant and my Aunt ordered Steak Tartare. A very embarrassing 'discussion' occurred with restaurant staff when my Aunt insisted the Steak Tartare be cooked. The argument between the Aunt & Uncle driving home in the car that night was epic!
He eventually divorced her for his secretary!
One would think, if you paid 50 Euros for a dinner at a FRENCH "Chateau", there would be FRENCH food! Good heavens, if I had to stay there, I'd probably nix the "glorious" Shitoo Dining Experience and get a proper dinner in the village! (Prepared in a clean kitchen as well, with hygiene standards- how about that?!?)
Come on down to Casa de T Rex, @M&MsMom ! I'm making biscuits & gravy tomorrow for brekkie in honor of @KyBourbon 's visit to our Gator Nation (there will be fresh fruit as well, as for some odd reason, Mr. T Rex's cholesterol is high...
) I also make a mean cappuccino!
Ok, so when Philip & the bnb guests all left for Emmaus, did they all walk, drive separate cars or did Philip drive them in the chateau’s illegal red van?
Every child I know loves macaroni & cheese, too…and it’s so easy to make. As often as the cook has to cater to all of PhiPhi’s food dislikes…oh, I’m sorry…”allergies”….and all of the quirks and special food requests of everyone who lives at the dump, how hard would it be to make a dish for the kids they would enjoy? Instead, they get some weird duck entree and a dessert that looks like a stupid potato with eyes!
What a way to make kids hate you! 
I hope they didn’t try to pick a damn tulip!---
I thought they walked, which is why the one guest had his tartan walking stick.
My view from earlier this evening…I love the beach!

I thought that guest had a physical issue and it was his cane. Stephanie called it a walking stick, she’s tone deaf.
Also, what general, non-specific area of Florida are you visiting?
Snorty didn't carry back his purchases (but were his purchases from another day?)
So, Stephanie was making jokes about the “walking stick” and the man had a physical issue? Yep…sounds right!
I’m on the panhandle, between Pensacola and Fort Walton Beach. The Gulf waters are dark blue and turquoise, and the sand is fine and white…almost like sugar. It’s really beautiful here and the weather is perfect.
Fanny spoke about purchasing an addition fridge or freezer a few videos ago. How many refrigerators and freezers has Fanny purchased for the main building in the Dump with Patreon funds? Is it 5 or 6? She has purchased 2 expensive dishwashers and a dryer. Didn’t she purchase some expensive Smeg appliances also? Were the dishwashers and appliances in Mummys apartment, Ports gite, and Gerry’s apartment purchased with Patreon funds?
It is ironic that she insists on purchasing multiple fridges/ freezers when she only allows people to eat less than 1,000 calories a day at the Dump.

Couldn’t Maria make a breakfast casserole that can be heated up in the morning?
One can never have too many chilled bottles of champagne ready to go at a moments notice.
I am surmising you are in Navarre (I used to live in FWB, so am incredibly jealous of you right now- the "Redneck Riviera" has the BEST beaches in the entire world!) It is called the "Emerald Coast" for a reason- yeah, while having one's sailboat in your backyard is nice, our brown water on Charlotte Harbor is not the same as going on out on for a day on your jet ski up there to jump waves. Man, I miss my SeaDoo!) If you happen to make your way to either McGuire's (in Destin or Pensacola), kiss the moose for me! (And properly sanitize your lips afterwards- millions of people have kissed those damn mooses!) The sugar sand beaches are the BEST in the world up there!So, Stephanie was making jokes about the “walking stick” and the man had a physical issue? Yep…sounds right!
