Cousin Matthew Returns with the Robbing Butcher

[TheMustressMhor]

A thread intended for menus, cats and idle chit-chat.

And we're off...

Helloo 👋

Hola

Is this spin off for menus etc?

Or should it be in The Royal Family??

This thread has nothing to do with the RF per se. If people want to mention them - no problem.

But the raison d'etre is not the RF.

I ate the whole bag of chocolate peanuts in one go.

That was a mistake, on top of gin and sherry.

I might start a dissertation:

Pink Gin - Why?

Rhubarb and ginger gin is quite nice 👍, and I don't like gin normally

Do you think we will be joined?

I mean if we mention mm or ph 🤔

I am here, hi everyone

Good to see everyone.

Maybe on this thread nobody will tell us to stay on topic if we stray away from cousin Matthew and Butchers...? I live in hope...

There is no need to discuss H and M on this thread, unless to refer to them obliquely. We can leave an in-depth discussion to Thread fourteen, which hasn't been created yet.

Bonjour,
Is everyone OK?
I just thought I’d check, because not everybody asks.....

Anyway, just been making some truffle butter and truffle oil.
Paid 7 euros for 9 grammes of truffle! Indulgent; but lush!

GracefulHippo I am convinced that any topic is worthy of dissection.

Cats - you neglected to mention cats.

Dogs and other pets are equally welcome, of course.

...or tell us off if we mention H+M on this thread?!

Hello all, hope everyone is ok

Pink Gin - Why Not?

I tried it for the first time; Gordons. It was delicious.
I’m not a gin drinker (or much of a drinker full stop,) but I’m told the choice of tonic is also important.

Pesky Echo chambers producing derivative ideas, going round in circles with no external inputs and coming up with Pink Gin.

Otherwise known as Design by Committee.

You are right about robber butchers by the way. But ime their stuff tastes good!

Are other posters mostly royalist?

If I had to say I'd be a republican but pro QElizabeth.

I have two budgies , are budgies worth discussing ?

I wouldn't say royalist, I do admire the queen and had soft spot for Phillip ( because of his silly remarks!) didn't really care about the rest , didn't know who mm was , didn't watch wedding , it was currant behaviours that made me interested , like TheMustressMhor , thought she was ok to start with .

Hello!
I am quite the traditionalist, so from that point of view yes, I support the monarchy.

If there were ever a bad King/Queen, I would advocate dispatching the individual, not the institution. 👀

If you are interested in Royal Fashion, and trivia; but definitely no gossiping allowed; you might like this thread in Style & Beauty

You don’t have to be a monarchist; the OP is a republican!
But it’s been going about a year and a half. I think we’re about 59 threads in.

Let's hear more dinner suggestions please 😁
