Since on the subject of peas - my pea dip is THE easiest recipe ever and everyone loves it (unless they hate peas). Frozen peas in microwave to defrost then blitz with plain unsweetened yogurt, fresh mint leaves and a bit of salt.I'm so far behind. Both recipes sound amazingsince we are sharing pea soup recipes,
last week I made French Canadian pea soup. So here is mine.
In a Dutch oven cover a ham bone with some meat still left on, cover with water bring to a boil and simmer for about an hour to start creating a broth. Add 1 onion, 2 carrots and 2 celery sticks minced fine along with a bag of split peas. Bring to a boil cover and place in a preheated oven about 300 degrees for about 3 to 4 hours. Pull out the bone, trim the meat place back in the soup. The peas and veggies should breakdown and melt into an creamy soup. It's one of my winter favorites
Last night was beer braised meatballs
Ps. Sorry to go off topic but the fanny and snorty show is so boring![]()
The Lalacelles did well with their curtains in the newly reno'd suite, I think, some just plain velvet. The whole turf is not my thing A TALL but the curtains look lovely, toned to the not garish panelling, etc.Fanny has a new obsession… very expensive designer fabric. This one with a connection to royalty….like 50% discount Ratso. All for a crumbling farmhouse in rural France.
“La Maison Braquenié - Founded at the beginning of the 19th century, a period during which France had established itself in the domain of the decorative arts, Braquenié was able to create a universe of matching rugs and fabrics for the most prestigious décors. In 1821, Pierre-Antoine Demy and his wife took over the family business and set up in rue Vivienne in Paris where they assembled the most beautiful collections of rugs and tapestries in the capital. The business was successful from the start and in 1830, was named by King Louis-Philippe as "silk fabric merchant to the King". Ten years later, it acquired the "atelier de Paris" in Aubusson and then implemented a policy of creating exclusive models which was to make it famous.
In the middle of the 19th century, the house, now in partnership with Alexandre Braquenié, offered everything flourishing society could want: the Empress Eugénie and Napoléon III, Duc Pozzo di Borgo, the Marquess de la Païva and the Rothschild family all became loyal clients. Official orders flooded in: a rug was woven for the Palais du Luxembourg, another for Notre Dame de Paris and for the Vatican. Its reputation extended beyond the borders of France, with the courts of Spain, Italy and Russia and Sultan Said, the pasha of Egypt, ordering their décors from Braquenié. Prestigious orders continued to be the mainstay of the business during the 19th century, for example those completed for the liner "Normandie" and replicas of historic décors, notably for the Grand Trianon.
.”
Watch for more bargain “ curtains” to show up at the Dump.
The Braqueni Collection at Sotheby's Paris
b PARIS, FRANCE.- /b At the Galerie Charpentier, Sotheby's will offer a number of tapestries, gouache and watercolour plans, sketches of tapestries,artdaily.cc
The shopping addicts have branched out from high priced luxury wallpaper, to now include high, priced curtains made from expensive luxury fabrics. The gruesome twosome keep spending more and more on auction purchases based upon items they see or read about in auction catalogs or website at Sotheby’s, Christie’s, and other online auctions. Recall Fanny sneaking Fortuny pillows and lampshades in to the Dump.
They have also started compiling their shopping list from items that they’ve seen at Versailles and other castles, chateaux, and luxury, hotels, or museums that they have visited in there, nonstop traveling. For example, I believe I recall in the visit to the Versailles apartment of the mistress of the king, that Stephanie mentioned a porcelain bowl that was used to chill wine glasses. What did snorts come up with at Christmas at the dump? He found a similar porcelain bowl from the 1700s or early 1800s that was designed to chill wine glasses. He showed it off to Amaury in the dump kitchen. Snorts was literally window shopping in Versailles for crap to buy for the Dump with tax free Patreon funds.
All they do is shop for for crap and high end luxury items and antiques online and in person.
Stephanie Jarvis has an out-of-control shopping addiction and massive hoarding issues. I believe she and snorts spend all day long shopping online, reading auction catalogs, looking at tours of castles, museums, fabrics, wall, coverings, etc. and race to locate and buy luxury antique items and goods associated with royalty, Versailles, very wealthy people, etc. for the unimportant, unheated, damp, mice infested, filthy, crumbling, unstable, rotting, mildewed farmhouse in rural France.
As cd viewers have noted, Stephanie wants to turn the chapel into a Vegas style, Marie Antoinette, blinged out party pad. They are buying inappropriate gold sconces for the chapel. They want a blinged out chandelier.

He’s been wearing that hooded horror for the past three vlogs…Last night Snorts made a "sauce" of course he did because Marie had been on a Sauce day course at Ashburton. Fanny then tells us how Snorts does the washing up as the glasses and the cutlery has to be hand washed, proof they read here as it was said that they leave washing up for Dave the Rave.
Fannys eyesight is worse than her mother's she thinks Snorts looks adorable in that hooded horror !!! ???
Billsters Cooker Range and Hood look fab to me in the Convent kitchen.
It appears Snorty had a bit too much sweet dessert wine when he wrote those bully comments. Lovely way to piss off viewers.Take a look at these cd comments over the past 4-5 days by Dump bully accounts aka Khillip. Look at how much anger, hostility, and sarcasm he has when he encounters comments about his decorating, identification of the "mystery" bracket, involving the church in the chapel restoration, etc. He has serious anger issues:

I have an idea for the mirror. The lower white moulding behand the mirror up by the ceiling can be removed the exact with of the mirror. Then the mirror can be snugged up against the wall. Label the moulding so if it needs to be installed back sometime it can be found. I think the leaf that sits high will sit infront of the higher ceiling moulding. The top edge of the mirror will in essence replace the piece of white moulding. So, the bottom moulding wil travel as such: several inches of white original moulding, the gold top moulding of the mirror, several inches of original white moulding. What do you think?

Feng Shui the Chinese art of placement, says it a mirror is never supposed to reflect the bed or the occupants in the bed. Fang Shui is the art of arranging buildings, objects, and space in an environment to achieve harmony and balance in a way

Remember, there should be one red lamp easily seen on the wall often on the left side which is lit to indicate the presence of Christ in consecrated hosts in the tabernacle. The reason for the chapel existing. That sketch you have with the single lamp looks like that red sanctuary light. Any traditional Catholoc chapel will have that lamp. It burns 24/7 if the Sacred Host is in the tabernacle.

I have so many concerns with the fact that the chapel hasn't been deconsecrated. The Bishop or Priest in the Parish should be contacted. ASAP. It isn't proper as the chapel has not been used as it should be by Catholics in a State of Grace.

They don't. For some reason they are afraid of the official local "authorities" and think they have to comply with every single thing they say or jump through any hoop (which is the reason why they had the lake drained in the first place, for example) rather than just doing the things they want (within reason, obviously). Reopening a window that was there before, for instance, is a matter of a couple hours' work, and that's it. They've got no neighbours nearby, nobody would ever notice it anyway. And as you may well know already, the building is not even listed. (If they knew what the French government does to listed buildings on a daily basis, believe me, they wouldn't worry for a simple window!)

watching the pair of you flapping excitedly, faffing about with curtains, really ought not to be so freakin adorable and entertaining, but it totally is. Your humour and enthusiasm it so infectious. I love that the blinds were *exactly where all the You Tube commenters said they were*. The room looks lovely and the warmer shade of the curtains does make it both grander and cosier, weirdly, Philip was right about your bedroom mirror. It's fantastic (and the right size, the tiny chunk out of the coving notwithstanding. Super easy to replace if necessary. Thumbs up for the chapel and I really wish I could dedicate a star to my friend Alan Merrill who died of Covid almost 4 years ago now, but sadly I have to consider the constraints of my disability benefit and be sensible. It looks wonderful though and I am so happy for you that everything seems to be going in the right direction. Thanks for just being there and being smiley and joyous

Sure was having a hissy fit then. Maybe Steffy knocked him back the night before?It appears Snorty had a bit too much sweet dessert wine when he wrote those bully comments. Lovely way to piss off viewers.
Notice how Amaury turned away when Fanny was knocking to come in... I bet he was cursing, "jesus christ here she comes with that F'ing camera again..." Have you ever known someone turn away and collect themselves when someone they detest is coming in? Seems every time Amaury and Nutti take their break, Fanny comes with her camera.. must be infuriating...Since Fanny and Snorty are currently away in Vienna the chapel restorers, Natti & especially Amuary are enjoying the peace and serenity at the shitoo.
How much longer are Natti & Amuary going to be able to keep up the charade? They hate Snorty and know Fanny is a joke. Natti glances at Amuary every time he's about to respond to Fanny, and often tries to placate the situation or soften his message, because she's worried about what he's going to say and afraid he's about to explode! Neither of them can keep a straight face. Heck they left for home in the middle of the afternoon when the January sun was still shining brightly - there is so little happening at the shitoo.
It’s basically beans and ham hocks, but made more complicated and triple cooked in the French way.I take back what I said about a cookbook. Tonight's recipe was revolting.
