The Chateau Diaries #270 It's a good thing Snorty lays tables since he doesn't lay Fanny!

[Patriciarella]

My tiny hands make me too weak to chop wood like the other men SJ has slept with. Now we pay for that service. Kind of like when my grandfather had to pay the neighbor’s kid not to beat me up in junior high.

I bought some spiders & will shine up my grandfather’s favorite fork because I’m not fun or creative when it comes to planning a party. I was never allowed to trick or treat because of my allergies & I am scared to bob for apples after that time the neighbor’s kid wouldn’t let me up for air while the other boys just clapped & chanted drown the freak, drown the freak!

Wow! Have you seen how MariEee has been coming onto me? I mean look at this body, of course I need sex every day. Even bubble girl said my wig turns her on. SJ said she will be going to Africa soon to see Potty, oh & Percy if he’s still alive.

I'm fairly certain they got this for free. Ollie referenced reaching out to them, and learning one of the owners watches Chateau Diaries, so it was implied (to me) that this was an advertising opportunity for the owners and a content opportunity for Travels with my friend.

Honestly, it worked. I have never heard of that valley and I think it is gorgeous, makes me want to go.

Transactional Frankenfraudie (with Ollie ) strikes again!

 

[graciemckitten]

Frankenfraudie mentioned their Halloween theme this year would be a repeat of last year’s theme, Mrs. Havisham. She is truly stuck in time mentally.

Mrs Havisham was a wealthy spinster who lived in a rotting decayed mansion who was stuck in time mentally and physically. The absolute antagonist of Great Expectations. Last year I thought this theme was a mockery but the same theme again this year has me smh. Asking why?

What’s up with Ñutty always sitting in Amaury’s lap? Is he filled with helium and would float away unless weighted down?

32,000 euros a month for doing laundry, watching tv, shopping, eating in bed, and doing fake “admin” ( likely online shopping, texting Ollie, Baghead, ChamberPottie, Mummy, or watching Netflix). Purchasing roses to let them die for the Halloween party? Don’t they have loads of dead flowers at the Dump all the time from dinners, decorations, etc.?

Skirt from tonight's TWMF.View attachment 2525849View attachment 2525850

The lip filler is overwhelming me. Her mouth looks like an inner tube in this shot. She's been showing the inner tube off with very red and dark red lipstick lately, colors very badly chosen. As mentioned, one Old Babe I know went the Gae Aulenti/Cambodian widow route with the silver buzz cut, and chose to set it off with red lipstick. She actually took a friend in person to buy it because red is so tricky and it was to be her only accessory. They went through about 20 reds and chose just the right one, so flattering. So I know it's possible for it to look right, femme, and jaunty if carefully underplayed (no Interesting Earrings past 50 is one of the subtler Old Babe credos: See Catherine Deneuve's earlobes, which are the sleeper stars of the mediocre 1992 movie, Indochine, which despite its title is about Deneuve losing her looks, not southeast Asia). I'm still surprised Fanny thinks she looks well in wrong reds, but here she is thinking she looks attractive, classy and convivial where actually she appears to be trout-lipped, flayed, desperate, and day-drinking. Wow. She has lost the war.

I don't know who Stephanie's messing around with.....in the grand scheme of things, I'm not sure I care, really (that's not to say I don't find it funny and interesting and gossip-worthy!!!). She's featuring all of this new clothing in her vlogs now, so if vlogging is the principle way she earns a living, she may be able to write-off the clothing as a business expense. I don't know where she's filing taxes and whether England or France allow it, but here in the States, you can as long as you itemize deductions instead of taking the standard deduction and the clothing exceeds 2% of your gross income.

Can you deduct tweaking the baps in France? Or wherever she's not paying taxes? That's got to be the only reason they're seeing the light of day in Portugal. Because she knows O is a gobbler.

Looks like c4 are saving Dan for later in the series. This week includes Chateau de Montmagnier, hubby is watching to see when Dan appears and how he is portrayed. He is baffled by montmagnier camping in their piggery. I showed him the dress SJ wore like a sack and his only comment was Granny wallpaper.

 

[notanangel]

OMG… I had to fast forward through the masonic well video to see what she was wearing… as someone else had posted a photo here. It is one of the most horrifying dresses I have ever seen. Or perhaps it’s the fact that it doesn’t fit her. But everything about it just doesn’t work. And that skirt from the other video takes a close second. The more she buys, the worse it gets. At least half of her supposed admin work must be online shopping.

Whenever Fanny steps inside a sanctified church…

 

[vitanova]

Exactly! Fake conversations with fake people and fake compliments. Anyway here's the quilt, it was for a guild challenge so I just had fun with it.

it's gorgeous

I can’t find (admittedly, I haven’t bust a gut to search for the info!) the C4 listing for all of next week, but the episode on Monday, 30th October is Danless. I’ve not watched any of the series, just read the synopsis of episodes as the weekly listing app i have is updated.

It does seem really odd that Chateau Brûlée is included when the people featured so far are reviving, if not villages, then at least a cohesive collection of buildings. How Dan and the burnt out, roofless shell fits the brief is beyond me.

is he realy part of this show?

 

[billybudd]

Patreon video: where Fanny is "touching a lot of wood", has thought up another excuse to go on hols (this time to Germany), Snorty has lost his horse, and Marie molests some flowers. Try not to vomit.

"Hello lovely people!

Whilst making tonight's Patreon video, I realised I had enough footage to make an entire extra video. So, later this weekend, I'll upload another Patreon video for you - as a little bonus this week!

I hope you all enjoy the video(s), lots of love from Lalande <3

Stephanie Jarvis is a con artist. The Chateau Diaries is a scam.

Apparantly she now uploads on Saturdays (which means Sunday early morning)

I couldn't make out what the pale green soup was at the €75 dinner was. First thought, do not serve pale green starter with a pale green entreé, rookie hospitality biz mistake.
I have to admit, the sauce on the cabbage is not Black Sauce #6 in a series, or is it seven?

Larousse has four recipes for chou farcie -- pork, rice and varying additions such as tomato and peas for a la Provençal -- and this sauce could be one of those (reduce braising liquid, add brown sauce). All are considered the garnish for a large roast. None is an entree to be served on its own. Not saying MariA should be cooking French food, just noting the world-wide variations on the topic and the French proscription of it as an entree on its own.
So that's the orthodox standard. Mine is similar. You don't serve burger to €75 a head guests. This is Stephanie's doing. She shouldn't allow it but it's part of her starve-the-volunteers as well as the paying and non-paying guests ethos. (Still haven't forgotten Clara's point that she made her friends pay for their meals.)
Online French stuffed cabbage recipes include chestnuts and other seasonal numnums.
This is something that's way too finicky for me to make for anybody, paying or non-paying. If I'm going to do something this labor intensive, let it be expensive. So I deconstructed my favorite recipe and make a cabbage and stuffing soup, again, one of my favorite fruit-in-savory-dishes. I still wouldn't serve it in a professional setting, this is for family. From Abe Lebewohl's iconic 2nd Avenue Deli, RIP.
Lebewohl was born in Ukraine, as were many of the Lower East Siders in the olden days, and I suspect that's the influence on this touchstone sweet and sour, citrus-tomato recipe. I see no trace of this influence on MariA's version. There are a jillion recipes for Ukrainian stuffed cabbage online, all delicious, none suitable for this service.

Holishkes (Stuffed Cabbage)

Editor's note: This recipe is reprinted from The Second Avenue Deli Cookbook, by Sharon Lebewohl and Rena Bulkin. On Succoth, a joyous seven-day autumn harvest festival (a kind of Jewish Thanksgiving), stuffed foodsmost notably holishkes, but also kreplach, stuffed peppers, and strudelsare...

Is Annalise just passive aggressively intentionally making them look like tit?

no, she just can't do it any better

I love it. So very unique..spectacular quilting.

The producers may be watching Dan’s current reckless behavior in YouTube videos and his complete lack of safety on the site and determining if it is in their best interests to publicize such fear/ danger porn, e.g., encouraging unsafe behaviors, publicizing blatant danger porn, is it a real project or just danger for airtime/ YouTube scam reality show? Dan ignores his viewers and can be dismissive/arrogant. Is it just a matter of time before serious injury occurs at the crispy chateau or the blatant disregard of construction principles are clearly at issue to average viewer? Is he modeling dangerous behavior for children or idiot DIY groupies? Do they really want to promote this or will it come back and bite them in the ass if they are promoting a scam project involving a building affiliated with holocaust survivors/victims.

Did the producers use due diligence in determining who owns the property, is this a legit undertaking, is Dan being truthful, is info c9 v eyed to viewers truthful, etc.? They should be extra careful featuring Dan since his mentor and good pal is Frankenfraudie, the pathological liar and YouTube/Patreon huckster.

If i was a guest paying 250 euro per night in an imeniding colasping chateau and you served me this I'd throw it you like a pyschopath.

In the spirit of the Halloween season, this is the image I have in my head of Snorts and his Dahling in the not too distant future

I wonder if the increasing fecklessness is on their instruction -- Dan is auditioning for more appearances. In the same way Channel 4 sets Stephanie up as their series buffoon.

Thank God, he is safe and sound. Thank you for asking.
More than 200,000 civilians have been displaced and are living in temporary shelters.
Part of my husband's role is to help provide aid to displaced civilians. He finished his shift about an hour ago, and is "very tired."

Spoiler: he says hello

Sorry for the derail. Carry on Tattling.
