Snorty’s mobile in his front pocket is the only bulge he’s got!

I don’t have a recipe as such for the stew. I use several different types of beans including kidneys, blacks and whatever odds and ends I have. I roast red peppers and sweet chilies together, then peel, seed, chop and set aside. I save some of the aquafaba from the beans to use in place of water (or canning liquid if using canned). You can use a stock or broth if you prefer. I fine dice a yellow onion, a few celery ribs and a good sized carrot and sauté that as my base. When just translucent I add in four pressed garlic cloves. Once fragrant I add in whatever spices I want, usually a chili powder blend (sometime Kashmiri chili powder), some sweet paprika, cumin and a dash of cayenne along with about 28-32 ounces of good quality crushed tomatoes. I like San Marzano’s. Give it all a good stir, taste for seasoning, adding salt and black pepper at this time. Into all this I add my peppers, chilis and bean mixture, .75 cup of washed red lentils, a can of corn drained and enough aquafaba to equal 1.5 cups. Give it all a good stir, bring it to a lightly bubbling simmer, cover and let it do it’s thing for 20-30 minutes checking for doneness of the lentils. Don’t let it cook dry but I like to keep it thick. Once finished, remove from heat. Let sit for 20 or so minutes to marry a bit and serve with your favorite garnishes. And lots of warm cornbread. Preferably with fresh salty butter and maybe a drizzle of raw honey. No dessert needed.

That frock is in Narnia hatching larvae as we speak.
That frock will be absolutely pristine, trust. It's 100% polyester. Because, that's the quality of a Villianotti garment.

Life is a mystery
Everyone must stand alone
I hear you call my name
And it feels like home

Mooli Parsnip does state that she "met her" and that "she is just as adorable" as on CD. So I assume there was a brief conversation.

Who really is Pavlina? And what type of passport is she traveling on? How can she move around so freely? How did she escape scrutiny by UK border control? Even if she has a return ticket and claims to be a tourist, she has no apparent means of support and is a risk for entry. Her extended time spent in France should have been a huge red flag for any inspector.

Could someone upload those on to the Wiki for posterity? I didn't know about the spooky nightclub one! Great sleuthing!

It's only a matter of time before she begins to wake up to this.

.....but then she may do so already. It takes wig of the wig stand, glue, slap it on and Viola, Violin, Cello......Voila! there you have it.
Except that this man is goodlooking!

Yes, she mentioned that the original document declaring that the chapel was consecrated, was from the diocese of Bourges.

He hated her filming him and every single meal they had.

One of her old flogs cropped up last night, 80s night and I really enjoyed it, the days before Snorts ruined everything so Michael stopped coming...

If Pavlova is in Devon... is she going to make an appearance on Marie's IG cookery school diary.
"Oh, violà! Look who I bumped into lovelies"

MarIE is going to be seriously pissed if that's the case
I reckon that person was definitely mixing up Marie and Pavlina. Fans have proved time and time again that they don't really listen to what is said and they are not good noticers. I guess Pavlina would be just as upset if someone thought Marie was her!

Does anyone else think that Fanny and Snorts deliberately "invented" a sconce donor called Viola as they'd noted Marie's mistake or read our Viola comments? Does anyone remember anyone gifting them a sconce for the chapel?
---
Is it possible to mention the star grifting as the patrons would be horrified if they realised what she was really like? They should really be refunded. I wonder if the diocese would be inclined to try and do something about that?

Yes, I do think they deliberately noted the fake name of the fake gifted sconces as Viola as a tribute to Marie’s mistake and as an “ inside joke” to bait Tattlers.This is on track with their fierce allegiance to reading every word of this forum. They also lie 90% of the time.

They had to have purchased the sconces on an auction site somewhere. In the past several weeks alone, the little orphan princess has had amazing “luck” and has stumbled upon discouchairs, cheap mirrors, a 50% discount Ratso, a ” gifted” holiday trip for herself and Snorts to Vienna, a “ gifted” holiday trip to Scotland for herself and Snorts., a gifted Barbour coat, dozens of grift grab presents, etc. Even if they claim the sconces were gifted, they likely purchased them with tax free Patreon funds for themselves.

It's easy to forget the less manic SJ and the synergy between her and MPK. It's a shame that they did not bundle their strengths together.

The workaway thing did provide some interesting and some good looking caracters for her over the years. (Except snorts)

You need a sacristan consultant, especially more than ever, now you know it has never been deconsecrated.

Yes: a great idea would be not to light a naked flame in the chapel. When the newly restored building catches fire, residue on the walls will be the least of their worries!

@tuffiti do you know Kevin and the anonymous handy mans' schedule... Caroline Gooder seems to think you do... maybe you have access to their time sheets too and the list of jobs that have been allocated to them? She is really something else...

God, what a false assumption. This kitchen serves roasted black radish, canned peas, tuna salad with canned peaches, stewed leeks, and roasted parsnips and beets.
That garland will be safe for centuries to come in that kitchen.
