That’s what I was thinking. As much as I have high hopes for her to get her life in order one day, she’s not really trained. No one who is will want to work under her for one second.

Is Marie capable and experienced enough to
assess CVs and select someone to work in her "restaurant kitchen". Is Fanny daft enough (she's certainly lazy enough) to leave it all to Marie? Of course, by letting Marie choose, Fanny is covering herself; if it all goes wrong, Marie will be the culprit. Given Marie's character and her proness to being jealous of anyone else who can cook well, she is likely to choose someone she knows will not outshine her. Last year, I think they just had one main cook with hangers on, like Dana, helping out. I guess Marie has refused to do it by herself which will do doubt be a blow to Fanny who probably financed Marie's course in the UK and wanted to keep her staff costs low. Maybe Marie wants the uniform to prove she's the Head Chef and the other person will be called her sous chef!
Maybe Fanny can get the chapel restorers to repaint the sacred pantry doors to restore their original Ikea patina.
Wearing that jacket, he's trying to look like a country gentleman, the lord of the estate. He is, however, completely unable to carry it off as he is so ungainly, so crass, and so ignorant.

She should pay for a really excellent outside caterer to cook and serve two days' worth of excellent, typically French meals, in gratitude for the patrons who enable her to live as she does.
Your post should have come with a warning label!
A big-ass picture of Philip before noon is way too early for me!
When I was selling paucillin over twenty years ago some of the patterns had to be withdrawn due to the unacceptable levels of lead in the paint.I bet most every set of china/ porcelain owned by Stephanie and Snorty contain unacceptably high levels of lead.Look at this 2011 article about all the children who died of lead poisoning while making wedgewood in the 1800’s.
“But before we become too enthusiastic about the entrepreneurial commercial ingenuity of Josiah Wedgwood, we need to take into account that the Wedgwood factories employed boys as young as eight years as assistants to "dippers" in the final process of applying a leaded glaze. The glaze contained lead oxide and lead carbonate, and any contact with the glaze during the manufacturing process resulted in absorption of lead into the body.
Nearly all these children suffered from serious lead poisoning, many of them died before adolescence, and those who did not die had serious neurological consequences. The common symptoms of workers in the Wedgwood factories were colic, convulsions, paralysis of the limbs, blindness, and general emaciation. With lower levels of lead absorption, the consequences for the developing brain of a child could be more subtle but still devastating, since lead is one of the most powerful neurotoxins known.”
“Wedgwood started using a fritted glaze in the early 20th century, and that for the most part stopped the lead poisoning problem in their factories. As for antique Wedgwood, if you have any of it, the next time you sip tea out of an antique Wedgwood teacup, when you put the cup down on that pretty saucer you might give a thought to the eight-year-old boys who were poisoned in the dipping process. It's a story of teacups for royalty and tombstones for children. “
Wedgwood Teacups, Child Labor, and Lead Poisoning
There is no reason to employ pregnant women and children in occupations known to be hazardous other than to exploit the poor.www.huffpost.com
White Wedgwood Bone China Plate: 98,000 ppm Lead. [For context 90 ppm Lead is unsafe in children’s items.]
Another reason to skip using grandma’s china during the holidays! Wedgwood China: 98,000 ppm lead … #sigh Made in England. I cannot tell you how many times I have heard “I thought white dishes were supposed to be safe!” or “I thought all white dishes are lead-free!” Nope! That’s a myth! See more...tamararubin.com

Red/ burgundy shades are especially bad.
As for the crystal it certainly is known to leach lead but fairly low levels to drink from. The decanters are another matter especially as at the dump we know they store alcohol, especially the boxed wine in them overnight and maybe longer.
I think the guest have great er chances of food poisoning or danger by way of the building collapsing or falling on them.
Never heard the word used in that context. Apologies. Happy to edit my post accordingly.
I was thinking more of Fanny in the classic sense of an odious monster
who greedily gobbles up everyone in her path.
No Kim Raad, No Tante Chantal, No Two Puffs, No Josie - those people know how to cook for a crowd, so good on them if they’ve finally told Fanny they won’t be her slave kitchen staff for another paaaaaarty.
Perhaps she was representing John and his more important chateau. I noticed she bought the cardigan to match her nails!
How many trees does it take to make this completely over engineered work surface?
Fanny exclaiming why she loves living… in London. Do you Fanny.
What would the Charity that supports all the historic homes in France whose champagne your drank think about your pretend living in France and PAYING YOUR TAXES IN THE UK.
Am I right in thinking Fanny gets tax relief for her patron money for renovations. It is NOT helping the system in France.
Fanny is a liar and cheat.

it would be far easier to just do the afternoon and have a Patreon tea. Buy the pastries and make various fingers sandwiches a couple days in advance.

She hasn't one worn any ring on the correct finger since getting engaged, not even on the day they announced it. I get the impression she doesn't want anyone outside the Chateau Diaries circle to know that she is engaged as she has no intention of ever marrying him. Also, she might still be hoping that she'll meet a richer man with a great deal more status than Snorty who is useful for the time being as an enabler, and some of the grannies like him. She's not hurrying to get a proper ring as she would be expected to wear that on the corect finger.
No.
Aunty and Uncle have uncovered their Merc.
Frk has given a good screen shot of Natty and Amaurys car reg.
The boot that the stolen Delorme sheets were put in is a taxi based in the Wimbledon area.
Why was Davy in the UK?
No sign of the fiesta. Fanny’s lies and time lines are a map on her face.

Snorty still has what is referred to as a highly punchable face.

She will need to get several surveys and estimates the cost at $20,000.00 at this time.

The cardigan also matched her mentos engagement ring.
Is it my imagination? I thought Fanny showed us the entrance and salon name when getting her nails done. Has she edited that out now? If so why?
Bet she and Fanny had the nerve to ask Nikki of Howarth fame to come help out, I hope she told her where to go !! Josie would be good, she tells us how it is.
