I always find a light breakfast, light lunch and decent tea with sandwiches are just the ticket whilst anticipating a great dinner.

Cook and the butler have not let me down as yet.

George Tea ,Dinner....

Arent they the same,?

I only ever eat one good meal a day,which can be between 12 and 4 depending where I am or what is going on,and def no afters.......gallons of sweet tea though,,,,,, :-D.

As I have staff to cater to my every whim, I make a list in the morning to make sure the appropriate ingredients are in stock should I require them.

Dinner is usually a little caviar on toast.

Steak Dianne with a fresh salad.

Eton mess with fresh double cream.

Washed down with a delightful little number from the Champagne district.

I don't want to appear to be bragging on this, but when one is of independent means, that one can have what one blinking well wants.


Scuse me while I try to catch my nose in my hankerchief, it is growing so much.


:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

So true my dear and I wanted steak and kidney pudding blah blah.

Thank goodness there is as big a liar as I am on the boards.

I had 2 poached eggs on bread that is more linseed & soya than bread.

Can Fred no longer distinguish texture?
Or were you soooooo convincing?


Love it :-D

I feel you should be writing this all down and publishing it as a paper as a contradiction to 'experts' who have degrees coming out of their ears, but no idea of reality :-D :-D

Sharron, I'm new to your posts about Fred but am hooked.

They would make a great book, honest .....

Agree MarieCeleste :-D

Yesterday I had sweet potato/onion/spinach/feta pie...... OH said it was hippy food, so he had the leftover pork from Thursday night.

Tonight........ corned beef, mashed potatoes & cabbage........ with white sauce.

:-D

George - was going to ask the same question then I remembered some parts of northern England call lunch dinner and other call tea dinner.

Think that's where the term Dinner ladies at school came from.

As far eating - gosh I can't each much in this heat - where are you all putting it. ;-) ;-)

Lady Scozz.....I presume you mean the fresh corned beef you have in Oz and not the tinned sort we know over here?
I bought a piece of silverside in Woolies when there and couldn't understand all the gel around it and washed it off....then it was still pink when cooked and I thought the oven wasn't working properly!,....tasted OK though...but we don't have it over here,only the tins.

Yesterday in Chichester Warburtons crisps were being given away. NO WONDER THEY WERE GIVING THEM AWAY.... TRIED ONE....... THEY WENT IN THE DUSTBIN.

No Maggie, we weren't eating it at the time.

We were slumped in inert heaps, sweltering quietly, when I asked him if that would be alright for tea.

He knows there are always two choices at each meal, what I have made or go without.

He looked sort of resignedly disappointed, to my delight!

Like Marie Celeste ....

I am a new follower of the "Fred Saga"

....

Had I known about the crisps I would have sent Fred to Chichester. They would have done for his tea.

I remember a poor girl trying to give away those low fat Mars bars once. Nobody wanted them.

Now you have shamed me Sharron, I shall tell the truth.

Fish and salad!

It don't sound half as exciting, does it?


:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Aberdeen Angus Fillet Steak,Home made Chips and fresh Salad. :-D With a decent bottle of Plonk to wash it down with. :-D :-D.For Dinner,tea is what you get out of a Teapot served in China Cups. :-D :-D :-D

That's right. I got the steak and kidney pudding out of a tea pot.

Paul Routledge in the Mirror, had been invited home by somebody for some supper and wondered if they would sit on the sofa in dressing gown and slippers eating digestive biscuits with cheese because that was what supper was to him.

Not a lot George sometimes a sandwich or a cup of tomato soup which I seem to have a craze for just now and a cup of tea :-D

Saturday night is the only evening I don't cook. So tonight it will be cheese rolls and a tin of soup! Suits me, I can go with that if I don't have to stand over the cooker.


:-D :-D :-D :-D

After spending the day cooking for tomorrows visitors (me in in-laws!), tonights meal will be courtesy of Mr Sainsbury - Chicken Jalfrezi Curry and Pilau Rice - lovely!! :-D
