Snippet as in 'a small piece or brief extract' is definitely right when describing the size of that dessert.

If they'd been thinking, and if Fanny wasn't so hung up on her spice wall-hanging, they could have built the countertop in such as way as to provide pull-out space drawers.

If they removed that stinking couch he could build a bank of drawers and more wood workspace in the window recess too... make it look fitted by shaping the top.... her knives could go on a magnetic holder... I hate them.

A long magnetic knife bar mounted on the wall above the workspace would be the ideal thing. No knives in drawers, “chef.”

Oh there ya go! I just said the same 😂

Fanny isn’t “off site” this week unless she went somewhere else. She went to London last week. She’s supposed to be sick in bed/recovering from the flu this week i.e. Covid for the 10th time.

The only time Fanny usually takes to her bed sick is when there is work to be done (ex: preparing for a party) or if she’s trying to gain sympathy. Heck, Fanny could have pretended to be sick, filmed that little vignette in bed and then quickly high-tailed it out of town. We honestly don’t know with all her timey-windy crap!

I meant to say spice drawers. 😊. That could be very useful during meal prep and when cooking.

I’m just watching Dan plant his forest floor. I’m thinking. I’m surprise Stephanie even talks to him now. His garden is better. His chateau is better. His subscribers are more. It must really irritate her.

🧵Suggestion - Dan Preston has more subscribers, a better chateau and a better garden than Stephanie Jarvis.

I'm sorry that my posts today have been all doom and gloom. I am in a bad mood. I have only just caught up with the news that Johnny the Bonny has split from his wife and been seen out with a new girlfriend. How did I miss that?? Was it reported here?? I must have been working away and offline.

I missed my chance......:cry:

It was quite widely reported here back in early February though there had been some rumours late last year. He and his wife split up last year although they seem to have been living apart for some time preceding this.

I hope you day gets better. Are you affected by full moons be

Too bad Fanny wasn't away from the Dump when Amaury put the counter top up and finished it the way he wanted to. I hope he explains to Fanny that he can't fit drawers underneath it whether he can or not. I don't think it's a good idea to store knives in drawers anyway, they need to be easy to access and you'd have to put in dividers which means more needless work instead of doing what needs to be done. Fanny is so stupid.

All of my knives, kitchen scissors, whisks and such are stored on wall mounted magnetic blocks. It’s incredibly handy for use and storage with the added benefit of freeing up drawer space. I do have a stainless steel utensil caddy on the counter used for my wooden spoons and such. I hate having anything on my counters that doesn’t need to be there. Everything I use lives in cabinets or the pantry except that caddy, the evil Cuisinart toaster and my knife sharpener.

Billy Boy has been reading Tattle again. (Hiya Bill!👋🏻) He starts out the vlog all but shouting it from the rooftops. Also pressuring Michael to start DIO 3.0. so Billy can get back to the neglected convent project as he’s been ignoring it. But didn’t you say Gwen had you stop the convent to complete the delayed chateau reno? Which is it Billster? You really shouldn’t take Fanny LaFlash’s scheming lies as a template for your behavior. That’s really not cricket is it now, Bill?

Budo and Tracy run French Farmhouse Diaries. He is a master wood craftsman and builder, probably the best in all of the French DIY youtube universe. As the attached clip shows, should you wish to view it, Terry says they hired someone to make panelling, during which time he stole the profile of the molding he was working with.

How can you steal a profile ffs. I doubt very much that their chateau has a one off profile, they didn't look to have anything out of the ordinary (hence the addition of the resin). Let's be honest they have in fact "stolen" all those ornaments by making a mold and recasting the pieces they bought from wherever. Did Budo half inch a router bit or something. Sounds ridiculous.
 
This is what Despicable fanny needs for her rodent problem... not Mark O'Brien, the New York hottie. Peppermint spray. Grandpa Gus's Peppermint spray.

I can relate to the rodents living in the engine compartment. I had several families of mice living in the engine of an ancient Clio. Thankfully long gone now. It would only have been a matter of time before they made it through to the interior!

That stupid spice holder….it’s far too big to read through all of them to find one of the five you always use…..and let’s not forget about the Chinese five spice …..

Fanny has had chickens for years with no apparent problems (except maybe inbreeding), so wondering why would the pine marlins be a particular problem now?

They finally figured out how to get into the walled garden from the forest side. Maybe a tree got big enough to get them over and onto the beams of the promenade thing, what is she calling it? Or some other entry made itself available -- a 1.7" hole opened up.
