Who'll pop off after the pop-up? MASTERCHEF THE PROFESSIONALS THIS WAY

[Halsall]

Street food ahoy......

at the doc, Potter! What a numpty!

Evening. I'm worried about Exose.
Glad to hear you're ok ish Potter. Feet up and chill

Phew.
I've got my tree up. 😣 We got a little one in a pot last year because of pup.dd did it and it's the most pathetic scrawny little thing. I'm going to have to brave the attic this weekend.
Oh wankiness ahoy.

Fingers crossed Potter. The doctor sounds pretty hopeless.

Lisbon is on my list of cities to visit, it looks lovely.

I hate these long chef ads, it's finals week, focus on the finalists.

He did Art and Business then to be a chef. I did Childcare and Arts - history, politics and English) and then went on to culinary school. God I miss it.

#WeWantPlates!

No tree here either. Evening all.

I'm already not liking those naff hand plate/dish thingies.

I do hate those pottery hands some high end restaurants use.
Michelin équivalent of slates instead of plates.

Love all things Portuguese I do apart from fucking lampreys. Evil little sucking wankers.

Snap Halsall. The shaggy guy in Leeds uses them too.forget his name.

Lisbon is on my list too. It looks lovely. And the food. I'm a foodie and a half when I travel.

@RomaineCalm We went this year and absolutely loved it it. For a cool area and hotel try Memmo Alfama.

We have two trees up so I could decorate one without the children getting involved.

Some of those dishes look lovely, some look ridiculous. I'm not sure we'll get as much as insane wankery as usual.

I think this place will play to a Olivia's strengths.
Concerned re Exose but let's see

Shiiiit this food is THE HEIGHT of wankeriness

Not convinced by this chef. And not surprised he studied art. He's an arteeeesst.

Ah there's a story...
And soil. It looks like real soil.

If you go to Lisbon Romaine pop up to Porto for the day. Wonderful shabby Art Nouveau city (and some of my late husband's ashes are in the Douro by the Riberia )

It really is Potter.

Nice of you to offer a blood sample. The numpty must have been panicking.

Thank you @TheDogsMother - will definitely have a look at it.

Well, that's Christmas breakfast sorted - poached eggs with gold leaf, truffle oil and some blackened, dry breadcrumbs. I'm sure DMIL will love it!

Where's Schadenfreude this time ?

Gold leaf on a 5p egg, agree height of wankery.

The chips! Hahaha

I take it back after seeing those bags. How very appetising.

Plastic? Jeebus
