does your Mother cook a hot lunch every day?

[Toulouse 0]

Hmm, I just found the amberstone bug can be caught with a banana

Yes, except on Friday and Saturday, then it's either take out or sandwiches, or something that's done real quick

[Frannie 0]

and she cooks dinner beside??? that's a lot of cleaning up. I could cook all day long.. but I hate the clean up

[Toulouse 0]

No, we only eat one hot meal a day, so it varies, sometimes it's a hot lunch or sometimes hot dinner, that depends. Now that I'm home, it's easier to make ourselves a hot lunch and eat sandwiches in the evening, but when it's school and I have to stay there during noon, we eat something hot in the evening

[Frannie 0]

ahhh ok... here we eat our hot meal usually in the evening... except on Sundays. Well most people anyway

[Toulouse 0]

Frannie, you'll never guess.. I just caught an amberstone thingy with a banana from the food store!
If it were giftable, I'd send you one!

for as long as I remember, we ate our hot meal also at noon on Sunday, the rest of the days it was in the evening, when both of my parents went out working. But now they're both home, so it is quite relaxing for them I think, to don't have to make a hot meal in the evening

[Frannie 0]

still no teddy fish.. but at least I'm not losing the bait.. well looks like I have something to work on today

isn't that odd... after discussing it! thanks for the thought of gifting it.. it's as good as getting the gift

[Toulouse 0]

lol, the fishing is fun once you get the hang of it and stop getting junk the entire time (or when you have 5 fish of one kind, you have to throw it back, what a waste).

I wish we could gift these sea things, would be more fun too!

[Frannie 0]

well I give up!

[Frannie 0]

wonder why the fish can't be gifted?? they let us gift the cooked food

[Toulouse 0]

yeah, I wonder about that one too, maybe someday they'll realize it and change it. it would be more fun and you could trade too, like with the eggs, if you're missing an item and have lots of another item that someone is looking for

[inu-kijo 0]

[Frannie 0]

[Toulouse 0]

There, think I'm ready with that list

[inu-kijo 0]

Mmmmm Cracker Barrel.... I like the country fried steak there. so good!!

[Toulouse 0]

Lol, I wish I knew what you guys were talking about, but it sounds good (I'm hungry, so I would eat anything)

[Frannie 0]

oh yeah.. love the chicken fried steak.. but with brown gravy.. not that white nasty stuff

[Zoonie 0]

Morning - no tune today, head's throbbing a bit, so keeping quiet as I can (apart from the banging and clattering up in the bathroom!)

How's everyone?

Kijo I need to send you a RSVP!

[Frannie 0]

The pancakes

[Frannie 0]

Morning Gill! hope they are making good progress with the room

[Toulouse 0]

Hi Zoonie, sorry about your throbbing head!
I'm okay, think I'm improving a bit with the wisdom teeth thing (hopefully!)

[Toulouse 0]

*drool*
those pancakes look sooo good!

[inu-kijo 0]

Country fried steak is beef... like chuck or something? that is battered like fried chicken, then fried in a pan with a bit of oil, so it has this crispy crunchy crust on it that is sooooooooooo good! usually served with white gravy on top (I prefer the white gravy, dont like brown gravy)

[inu-kijo 0]

Morning Zoon, so i take it you got your mail. : D

[Frannie 0]

For BG.. Cracker barrel is a chain of restaurants.. mostly in the eastern 2/3 of the US... delicious home style food

[Frannie 0]

how much ya wanna bet that I wind up at a Cracker Barrel today? It's my day to select the restaurant!

[inu-kijo 0]

whoot! have some CFS on me then!

I can't reply to anything else, or think of food - am shopping for a hat!



We don't have any such thing as steak in batter here, sounds odd to me, nor, as you know, white gravy, gravy is always brown here, or if it's white, it's a sauce (savoury, such as cheese, onion, bechamel...that kind of thing...oh and fresh parsley sauce that you can have with white fish, salmon or ham)
[/cookery lesson from the UK]


Glad the tooth isn't any worse BG

[Toulouse 0]

Lol you guys
have to admit, have been looking at locations now, where to find a cracker barrel... nothing much to find in California, or I might be blind offcourse... thought that if I'd be staying there for 3 weeks, we could give it a try

[Frannie 0]

a real life hat or a PS hat?

Have you seen a spoiler this week yet Gill?

I don't think they are in California... but you could stop over in Ohio and I'll take you!? Certainly you have a lay over somewhere

8)

same with the gravies/sauces over here! Gravy is always brown over here and white sauce is mostly bechamel or cheese

Yeah I'm glad, because it was hard for me to concentrate, with that throbbing ache the entire time, still feel like my jaw is twice the size

Well, for the departure we make a stop in New York and when we come back, we make a stop in Chicago, but I think we'll be spending most of our times in California
First plans we had was that road thing I was talking about and I eventually got my sister so far to make a stop somewhere in Savannah... But all that road trip stuff was a bit too expensive. We'll be doing that when we have a job and earn money

[Zoonie 0]

@Frannie, a suitable hat for an important event next week (look around the thread *whistles*)


Cracker Barrel is the brand name of a pre-packaged Cheddar cheese in the UK


Hard to say how the bathroom's looking really, it's fully boarded out now and the box work for the pipes is done, it's marked up for the fixtures and cabinets, and the first fix electrical is done. Plasterers come on Monday. It's probably at least another week, and while he can't work on it, he'll be doing a bit of work in the Utility Room and starting to strip out the downstairs cloakroom.

I think the work will go most part through a third week - and that's without redecoration.

We have cracker barrel cheese here as well.. made by Kraft, I believe.

I didn;t get an invitation... but I'm supposing it's for a wedding... the 26th I believe?

[DawnyDawn 0]

Good morning everyone just read back a bit and now i'm starving!! Blueberry pancakes are my absolute favourite and the steak looks so good! American food is yummy, BG you'll love it there. So much choice.

Sorry your head is thumping Gill, you said it was coming on last night quiet, gentle (((((hugs))))).

And what's this I hear? Are the invitations out already for the big day?

[inu-kijo 0]

Couldnt imagine California having a Cracker Barrel..... its more of a southern place to eat.

Aaah it wasn't an invitation TO the wedding, not as such

Don't mention Kraft to me Frannie, quite a furore here over the Cadbury take over.
Can you imagine a Kraft Creme Egg? ugh!
