I can get pasture raised beef ,mince about 2.00 over the other kind. I have noticed that it not only looks and smells better, the fat that is rendered is clear and no foul odor. The mass produced beef is pale pink and does not smell like fresh meat and the fat rendered is yellow. The pasture raised has a nice texture and so much more flavor. I rarely eat beef steaks they are very expensive
Glad to think the supermarche is superior too. I was stunned to think she wasn't asking the cheese monger and butchers for help. Local veg, yay.
I had thought of the 7 am to noon regime of the farmers' markets as prohibitive for Lalande.
Bottom line, I think you're right in emphasizing the Julia Cameron poverty addict story that scamming Fanny wants told. So curious a narrative for someone in the hospitality profession.

I've heard of retired people living on cruise ships for the same reason.
That woman is a monster. Look at that Norwegian pullover he has to wear because of her.
She doesn’t deserve him.
Cute, innocent looking…
By the way, what’s his name? Andrew? Martin?
Phillippe The Chinless Wonder, he of the two “P’s”. You can do better.
My relative has BPD . . . Marie does not.
Yeah but no one of you has sent me a better one by now.
Addendum: Fanny expects filet mignon on a hoof's budget and she expects Marie to wiz up something extraordinary à la Japanese Kaiseki.
Remember Marie went to culinary school - I wonder when her breeches are going to be too small....
Stephanie “poor mouths“ and has always dishonestly concealed wealth and disingenuously and intentionally pled poverty to grift millions of dollars/ euros and gifts from viewers and patrons, many whom are on fixed incomes. Even prior to the youtube and the mismanaged Patreon windfall, she had dishonestly told lies, exaggerated her financial situation, and played the poor little orphan princess to get gifted foods, luxury vacations, clothing, presents, money and exploited volunteer organizations for se partners and illegally worked volunteers in her B and B, in violation of the organizational rules, exploited contractors to get cheaper rates for additional work for free, etc. It has always been her way of life,
The term for this is poor mouth, which, according to the dictionary, is defined as “unjustified complaining, esp to excite sympathy.” (According to a translation of Flann O’Brien’s classic novel The Poor Mouth, in Gaelic and Old Irish “ ‘putting on the poor mouth’ means making a pretense of being poor or in bad circumstances in order to gain advantage.”) We poor-mouth when we labor to prove (sometimes to ourselves) that life is harder than it really is.

Look at a few other examples of crap she spews to pretend to be poor.

Saving Where I Can
More often than not, wealthy individuals talk about saving money as if it’s just a leisure-time activity. They would say something like, “I just like to save money where I can.” according to one forum commenter. For the working class, it isn’t a choice to pinch every penny; it’s more about survival, not a preference. So, when you hear someone talk about saving money as if it were an optional hobby, that’s actually a concealed display of privilege.Finally, someone said, “Talking about saving money as if it’s optional. “I just like to save money where I can.” If you’re working class, it’s not about preference. It’s about survival.”
People’s Faces Are a Tell
Someone suggested that Influencers (especially) and celebrities try to throw you some poverty sob story for PR, and they don’t realize that there’s a “wealth face.”
“They’ll try to talk to you about growing up in “the ghetto” with a tragic past, but at the same time, they will have their teeth straight and pearly white, all in a neat row.” It’s a prime example of rich people pretending to be poor.
Stephanie Jarvis, with multiple closets packed full of designer clothing on two continents, high maintenance blonde hair styled at the Dump, weekly in Dump massages, tens of thousands of dollars of fillers, Botox, hundreds of necklaces, dozens of gemstone rings and earrings, $600 candles, several thousabds of euros in designer bedding, and years of luxury worldwide travels, and more crowns than the queen of England, pretended to be poor, to ebeg money from pensioners.
Recall that millionaire Mummy, with many real estate investment properties, married millionaire Percy ( who allegedly paid for a portion of the new apartment at the dump), and pretended to be too poor to be able to afford a lawnmower so viewers would pay to buy her a new, luxury, lawnmower, that she proudly showed off on video. WTF! She also was an active member of abusing volunteers who came to the dump, working them for too many hours for the for-profit bed and breakfast, treating them poorly, and feeding them prison ration food. Isabel, with her ice buckets full of jewelry, is still playing poverty today, as she comments, thank you for your support, if you were to have been duped into donating money to a family of millionaires. Disgusting.
Thrifting
Second-hand clothes and thrifting made the list of rich people pretending to be poor. One woman explained that since thrifting’s become trendy, a bunch of new “second-hand vintage” stores have opened in her super expensive city. Secondhand designer clothes costing hundreds and even thousands of dollars for Stephanie Jarvis? Then the newly engaged little orphan princess went to the local charity shop and purchased a 10 euro dress to wear repeatedly on video on a five star luxury sexcation with her fellow grifter and co-owner, Potts.
Jeans With Holes (Snorty’s jeans with holes.)
Many were astonished about people buying jeans with holes already in them and suggested it as an example of the rich pretending to be poor. Someone confessed they finally had to sew up a hole in their denim after twelve years of wear.
Discussing Economy Class
Finally, someone suggested when people travel and feel the need to express that they flew economy class. It’s a giveaway because the economy is the default, so nobody says they “flew economy” unless they have money.
Recall that Stephanie Jarvis has been to Egypt no less than three times, Hong Kong, several times, Finland, Scotland several times, has been on over 20+ luxury safaris in South Africa, been to Venice over a dozen times, India, Portugal, Greece, and has vacationed in pretty much every country in this world. She traveled nonstop for decades prior to starting her YouTube channel. She hid her travels at the beginning of her YouTube channel because of the pandemic restrictions.
Recall how Stephanie loved to tell stories about people leaving food for her at the dump so she wouldn’t starve. She also claimed that she lived at the dump all by herself with no one else in the property for years on end. Untrue. She also took credit for starting the bed-and-breakfast when it was the two former caretakers, who actually did all the work to start the business. Recall that she was too cheap to turn the heat on in the winter at the dump but instead claimed that she just couldn’t afford it And was forced to strap on hot water bottles in an effort to keep herself warm. Bullshit.

Even Marie Antoinette, admired by Stephanie Jarvis, played the poverty game.
“For Marie Antoinette, the last queen of France before the Revolution, it goes without saying that she was wealthy, extremely wealthy. She was known for her opulent lifestyle; she spent an estimated 20,000 a day on her attire. Near the tail end of her reign, Marie Antoinette built “La Hameau de la Reine” or “The Little Hamlet.” She hired workers to make a modest village right in her backyard. There were a total of five buildings, which created a small, idyllic French village for the queen, complete with real goats and sheep. Of course, Marie did not include the starvation, disease, and filth present in the authentic peasant villages of France.
Allegedly, Marie often felt trapped by the “restraints” of French society. When it was all too much for her, she would change from her royal garments to a plain muslin dress and go to her “village.” After milking cows, playing dress up, and petting the animals with other court members, Marie would eventually return to her “very” difficult royal life. On the whole, this feels like something that only the most tasteless, out-of-touch, spoilt rich people would do. That’s because it is. But we don’t have to go that far back in time to see this happening.
In 2018, Kim Kardashian did a photoshoot where she wore a milkmaid outfit and frolicked in a field. It’s eerily similar to Marie Antoinette’s antics, in that it is nauseating, repulsive, nightmarish, and predictable. In addition, the luxury brand, Balenciaga, sold dirty shoes with holes for the affordable price of $2000. Golden Goose adopts a similar approach, selling already dirty, broken-in shoes for anywhere from $545 to $2275. Similarly, the retail giant, Urban Outfitters, has categorized their targeted customer as an “upscale homeless person.”

Hmmmm….Fanfan and Grahnt , from their aurora borealis shots were simultaneously tiptoeing around the chateau grounds at 1.30 am, with damp slippers and flimsy 100 stars robe. Hmmmmmm.
One job I had, rather short lived…my boss had a rather ‘ special ‘ son, he was a nightmare he would come into the office and start photocopying crisp packets!
Anyway, they bought him a hamster for Christmas. Unfortunately they were doing ‘ tricks’ with the hamster running up his Daddy’s sleeve and guess what, the poor thing suffocated. No shops open
they had a dreadful couple of days until the pet shop re opened.Fanny ‘ slippers ‘ are the pair of Gucci? lobster mules that she had already ruined . I forget how expensive they were.

I live on a tiny Scottish Island and can vouch the fresh meat and fish here is expensive but fabulous. Languastines, scallops and fish delivered to the door, a local baker specialising in sourdough brownies and pastrys left in a little pink shed with an honesty box, obviously our own whisky. (and gin) I do miss takeaways a little and I go to the mainland occasionally for a supermarket shop, to buy good wine and pasta. Overall I spend less as I cook from scratch. When in England I will be fully embracing the bad stuff including KFC and kebabsReading some of the recent comments here I am beginning to think I am spoilt, and so wish I could share my riches with you all. I am currently staying within easy distance of two superb independent butcher's shops. There used to be just one, but the bosses fell out and they each have their own shop now in neighbouring villages in Scotland. They source all their meat, fruit and vegetables from local farmers. They have very few items on display in their small shops. When you ask for something they bring the carcass, or part of the carcass, out from the meat stores at the back and prepare your order on their huge butcher's block right in front of you. There is no part of the animal that you cannot buy. I saw mention here of breast of lamb (lamb flank), any kind of offal, and especially lamb hearts - all are available. They will cut it, bone it, roll it, flatten it - whatever you want, however you want it. They will also tell you the name and address of the farmer that raised the animal or grew the fruit and veg.
Before I moved here I had become increasingly frustrated about the amount of natural fat that was being removed from meat before it was sold in the supermarkets. I know it is the trend, but I don't like it, I think it affects the flavour, and I don't believe that it is bad for me in moderation. My butchers know my preference and will always leave some fat or rind on if I ask for it. I eat meat often, together with a lot of fish (we also have a fresh fish shop nearby and a man who comes directly from the coast with the catch of the day in his specially refrigerated van!) The prices are, of course, higher than the town supermarkets, but the benefits are, I believe, well worth it.
It's such a shame that I am not a particularly good cook, but I do enjoy my food cooked from fresh and with knowledge of its provenance. I love to read the recipes on tattle and I imagine you all with your beautifully laid tables and perfectly cooked exciting and exotic meals, as I eat off a tray on my knees whilst watching Bourbon Street live webcam on my laptop
