If only Amaury had gotten through to her before Phiphi the enabling fellow addict got her under his spell.
I think the only thing Amaury would confront Fanny about is his workshop. As we've seen, he is able to shut the door and not allow her to come in. I imagine she has already crossed the line of messing with his tools and invading his space and he had words with her. Do not mess with someone's workshop, ever! Sacred space.

Is it the structural engineer she said they were waiting on? I bet he's said you can't do it till the weight is off... it's obvious really...So Amaury will be 'mover' for the next three months taking everything out of the attic and dismantling all the wardrobes he put together... what a merry go round that place is.. Thank you Patreon.

Did he have too many empties lined up on the bench? Or he's raided the place for his Mums property...

I’m the same way with my workshop. But the one unforgivable sin in my book is getting your grubby hands on my fabric scissors and cutting anything and everything with them. I won’t just cut a bitch. I will stitch your fingers together and tattoo “unteachable git” on your forehead. And woe-betide you should you repeat the offense. Then I will get really nasty.

I remember the first time I heard marinara sauce referred to as red gravy. I didn't know what in the world they were referring to! It sounds awful until you realize it's just tomato sauce. I have to admit my mother was a snob and considered anything southern below par. I was brought up to think pecan pie was awful even though I had never tasted it. Grits and biscuits with gravy were for poor hillbillies. To this day I have never had biscuits with gravy and I don't want to after I found out what's in the gravy. I do like pecan pie if it's not too gelatinous though, and since grits are just polenta, I like that too! Even among my parents generation, there was still a lot of resentment and prejudice against the south leftover from the Civil War. I think for my mother though, it came from the migration of poor to the west coast during the dust bowl, much like how many people feel about the migration of Mexicans today. "HIllbillies" were used as scapegoats for crime and the expense of social welfare.

Oh, some of the best food I’ve ever had in my life was when I was a child and went to family reunions in the Southern US. It was always “pot luck”…everyone brought a dish. I can’t begin to tell you how incredible the food tasted! I miss those days

What was up with the way he entered the room? That was hilarious.
I think he missed his "action" cue and tripped over his feet.

It could, of course, be that there was something on the other side of the door that they didn't want filmed.

Both likely scenarios I think.

Thank you - every day’s a school day! Just the sort of info I simply love.

(I do know how to spell marinara - autocorrect decided marina was what I meant in my post and I didn’t notice…grrrr, a plague of silly typos!)

I think I’m the only one in the world who hates lamb. I don’t like the smell. I don’t like the taste. I don’t like the texture. My husband is Middle Eastern and he loves the lamb, but I make him cook it on the barbecue grill. It is not smelling up my house.

That's a good explainer about dogs!
I'm sorry about your haircolor......I'm having a bit of a moment with mine, too. I don't know what my stylist was smoking last week when she cut my hair but it is nothing like I've ever had (I've been doing an Italian bob for the last two or three years). I feel like I could have saved myself the money and time and just put a mixing bowl on my head, taken a pair of Fiskars to whatever was hanging out and called it a day! Luckily, the highlights she did are great, but you know the style is bad when your own husband, who never comments on your hair, looks up when you return and with a slight look of terror in his eyes (because he doesn't know if I think it's good or bad) says "new hairstyle?"

I learned about the sacredness of fabric shears from the moment I entered the world! I have always hid mine from my husband and now I can't find them!
You're not alone. I have only had lamb a few times. Once I made shepards pie with ground lamb and it was awful, I threw it out. That was the first and last time I cooked with lamb. And I agree with you about the smell, I can't stand it. I don't like beef or wild game either. I'm a wimp when it comes to meat. Chicken and pork are my go tos.

My husband didn’t even notice, but my friends and my sister laughed, And after the hair Stylist who is my friend for the last 17 years said oh you are not gonna like this!! She was right I did not and I text her later that day and she said come on Monday so I’ve been wearing a hat and a headband! lol vanity What is an Italian Bob? Send me a photo.

It's pretty versatile and I like that it has more volume than what is normally called just "a bob". My hair is sort of wavy, but can get a little more curl in the summer due to humidity. The article this picture is from explains it maybe better, as well as offers some other pictures of the Italian bob......my hair was JUST LIKE THIS until last week. It's like she cut the sides too short or didn't put in the slight layers long enough. I don't know, since I'm not a hair stylist. It's like the sides just hang straight now. So bizarre. I'm going to try and take a curling iron to it and see what happens, but I'm not hopeful.

When I come home from the hairdressers himself comes out with the same quote that he's used for the last 44 years...
"I thought you were getting your hair done?"
And he still thinks it's the most hilarious thing ever

When I get my hair done no one notices until about a month later! It's always, "Did you do something different with your hair?" "Yes, about a month ago."
