I have yet to watch it. My daughter LOVES it with a big old love and regularly tweets in response to episodes. She recently appeared quite taken by something that hsppened (Maggie Smith related I think). I guess that's what you're talking about... and I guess even more that I need to watch that show!Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05671482394424988047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-5715902051787582542013-02-05T10:46:34.274-05:002013-02-05T10:46:34.274-05:00WE can always discuss DA!!

It helps having connections.<br /><br />Being flat on my back in a hospital bed I have watched season one and season 2 for the 4th time, too - so we can discuss any time you care to do so!<br /><br />Can't type much, but wanted to say hi and that I am recovering.<br /><br />Hugs.<br /><br />I LOVE you say you have to go check your kidney Souffle, that's classic.Michele M./ Finch Resthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08971943265328093734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-83534006529601788272013-02-05T05:55:35.778-05:002013-02-05T05:55:35.778-05:00We are both hooked on Downton Abbey and Brit.

My husband now knows, after many years, that if he makes me toast, not to butter it straight away.<br />And if I dont use the toast rack, when I take the toast out of the toaster, I dont pile the slices on top of each other (which promotes the meltiness).<br /><br />Maybe one day we can talk about making tea to go with the British toast?<br /><br />cheers<br />FiTea with Prudencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02065738620618180181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-37747573494893821602013-02-04T15:49:17.551-05:002013-02-04T15:49:17.551-05:00I had a sweet toast rack attached to a pretty chin...I had a sweet toast rack attached to a pretty china tray that I sold in a yard sale! I could kick myself now. I was into a different style of decorating then and it was taking up space in the cupboard and I didn't use it. I thought it made the toast too cold to be standing up spaced apart that way and if the toast wasn't buttered then it got too dry and hard. It would at least have made a lovely letter holder. I have totally missed out on the Downton Abbey craze so will not be able to discuss it with you. :( I'm thoroughly enjoying my grandsons. They are just the sweetest little boys.

Kidney souffle sounds like an oxymoron to me. And gross, but never mind that.<br />I'd like to watch Downton Abbey, but I don't think we can get it here, or something like that. What do I know, I never possess the remote.<br />"Sending people on wild goose chases....". Funny. It makes me think how I have lived here since 1987 and just today....Just Today, figured out a shortcut between grocery stores. At least I was only sending myself on a wild goose chase, of sorts.<br />I'm laughing out loud now because I just read Barbara F.'s comment that DA seems "a little, well, boring to her". <br />Ok.

I've never watched it, it seems a little, well, boring to me. I should reserve opining on it until I at least watch it, right? I used to have a toast rack like that, it disappeared along with a few other things I thought had made the trip here with me. English toast is probably leftover over crimpets from their high teas. :-) xoBarbara F.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05650730931602700042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-18550746430017155952013-02-04T13:39:13.399-05:002013-02-04T13:39:13.399-05:00Yay...you found it even though it should have been...Yay...you found it even though it should have been The Farmer's Daughter.
