I think you are bang on, it’s so obvious once you think about it.I do wonder if there’s more than one Marie in her head?
Continue to be flabbergast at Stephanie’s lack of awareness in flaunting all her possessions and properties (“I LOVE living in London”) With multiple homes around the world & unsuitable designer clothing & (nasty) jewellery, her self-satisfaction at all she has and her desire to show it off simply has no bounds. She’s utterly shameless.
Fanny pretends to be thrifty & save £2 by getting bus from Islington to St John’s Wood instead of the tube (or a cab like she usually does when she’s not filming herself) she can’t contain her excitement & paws 2nd designer threads exclaiming - “ITS ONLY …” at every item she sees. She goes and drops £35 (like it’s nothing) on (yet another) cashmere cardigan Let’s not even mention the expensive in-shop alteration for her trousers at Massimmo Dutti, when she actually has a free-does-everything-Brother-sewing machine back at the crispy chateau. Her greed for clothing, books, bric a brac, fabric, paintings, food, properties is insatiable. She will never have enough of anything . Especially people.
Has she forgotten she’s shown the vast, groaning contents of her wardrobe at the dump, to her patreons; rails that broke due to being so overladen with clothing ? If I were her I’d be embarrassed to be seen buying a pair of socks infront of those who’ve shown such generosity.
Trixie’s resentment is simmering . He’s still not come to terms over her sexcation with Potty and his sullen mood shows no sign of abating. He looks at her with incredulity when she accuses him of leaving her alone to party with Bubbles.
Back at the dump FRK continues to be FRK and Armoire put a big plank on the cooker. It’s all so LaLande.

So much like Hitler- wtf?!

The hair ‘system’ looks insane…at age 28 and it looks nutz…what’s going to happen in 10 years time? Bonkerz !
That’s a bit unfair - you missed out foamAn FRK meal just isn't an FRK meal without beige chicken in brown sauce. Patreons are coming for the LaLande Character Luncheon Experience after all! Marie mustn't disappoint them!
What's local there is lentils, Sancerre, fresh water fish and goat cheese man. Poule Noire du Berry heritage hazelnut-scented chicken which dem bitchaaaz will never discover and never shell out for. Plus all the gorgeousness of ag France in July. Fresh pork, charcuterie and funky French pork wizardry. Raspberries. Tomatoes. Peppers. Blueberries.

Here’s the French Department for Agriculture’s monthly guide to what’s at its seasonal best in France right now…

The most magical thing I know about lentils is a poached salmon filet on top of cool lentil salad they used to serve in the summer at the Hay Adams Hotel in DC. Absolutely scrumptious. I might serve it to the Patreons with cantalope instead, also scrumptious and edgy enough for them.
One lunch would surely be a tarted up Salade Nicoise, possibly with individual fluted pate brisee cases, no potatoes, no anchovies, some toasted almonds. Plenty of haricots verts, peppers, tomato, hardboiled egg, etc.
I'd really make an effort to give them not-too-scary charcuterie, really simple pates, and grilled local pork sassidges, with grilled peppers and onions, for lunch. Gorgeous sliced tomatoes. Raspberry ice cream. (Actually I've fallen in love with homemade cherry/raspberry jam. Cherry/raspberry ice cream. Woof. With a suspicion of amaretto?) Cherries and ice cubes in a crystal bowl. Gigantic blueberry crumble with honey ice cream.
I'm a big devotee of salads, these days. Attempting one of black eyed peas, barley etc. which I will scarf but think not Ladies' Who Lunch Fancy Enough for the grannies. Who'd probably like big pink j-j-j-Jello salads but wouldn't be getting any from me.
What salads would you feed the grannies? What desserts?
Absolutely agree, but Fanny does NOT like beets, so can take that off the menu.
It would be like working for Daisy from Downton Abbey (before she became full of herself). Hold on - that’s not right, Marie IS full of herself and at least Mrs Patmore could rely on her to help put some hearty fare on the table.
The toggle between megalo and I'm-just-a-worm-under-Stephanie's-strawberry-slipper,-lucky-me, is really hard for me to follow.
@frenchessence Armoire put a big plank on the cooker.
Love it. For a trained carpenter that just about sums up his input at the shittoo in the last 12 months.

It shows how much interest she takes in the kitchen garden. It’s beetroot central. All the lovely heirloom rainbow ones, too.
No, that’s called meal prep. What the Gen Z people do. You prepare a whole batch of mains and sides for a few weeks, and portion it into dozens of expensive glas containers.
You put the tit into your freezer, and after a few weeks you just take it out one by one and microwave the hell out of it.
If they start at 5 am with the microwaving, they should be through by 1pm.
No nutritions left, but nice for instagram.
Dessert- Raymond Blanc soft meringue with blackcurrant coulis. It is very fancy looking- dead easy to make. Maybe some rustic fruit galettes on the side.What's local there is lentils, Sancerre, fresh water fish and goat cheese man.

Our friends at Le Relais du Facteur serve local trout and other fish in different interesting ways. Trout terrine, unlike whole trout with eyeballs, might be safe for gan-gan.Eat seasonally: What’s in season in France in July | Taste of France

I didn't know whether to give you a "heart" or a "laugh" emoji!
I forgot about that gray, nasty looking meat/lamb served by Stuart! I just remembered the bowls of prepared salads with the cheapest, oddest combinations (hence my "her salads were whack" comment earlier). What a mish mash of food that was! It's dead in the middle of summer and she's serving meat and potatoes and carrots with cumin.......along with weird salads.
Personally, I think Marie should call it a day and just make pans and pans and pans of her famous lasagna! (and yes, I jest. You all know I hate the way her lasagna looks)
And the takedown of Kim's Easter food was brilliant! It's all the stuff I forget about that place!

What is up with the haters?

Stop hating on Philip! Just because he likes seeing her in separates DOES NOT mean he's trying to change or control her. Geeeez! Stephanie is her own woman ...not to mention, she'd look gorgeous in anything SHE CHOOSES TO wear.
It's so strange. When I'm not here obsessing about the menus at Lalande, I am hotly engaged elsewhere as a long-retired scholar on some of what's going on. Lemon posset, peace, and justice for all.

Dead Salad. That's the name of Fanny's and Marie's cookbook. I'd buy a copy of that.
Stuart lives in the South of France and works I think it’s Julia Childs old house, school
I don't particularly care for beets....BUT at a farmer's market last year, I bought a bunch of heirloom ones and it totally turned me around, so much so that I tried yelllow beets this winter and liked them. The heirloom ones had such a sweet flavor, I just loved them! The market opens for the season this weekend and I've already texted the farm I got them from last year to ask if they will be there and if they will have them again yes, they will!
