DH has just handed me a cup of tea - actual cup and saucer rather than a mug . When I looked quizzical he said I had been chortling with DDs about elevated food so thought he would join in !

I may be a touch soft !
But that's lovely 🥰, how nice!

Mistakes so far:

  • she hasn’t stripped her stems (so leaves will hit the water and bacteria will develop)
  • she also hasn’t mentioned if she’s conditioned her flowers (she got them from the wholesalers so you need to condition) I doubt it though as she’s taking them straight from the pack.
  • She is breaking the line of the bowl with the foliage but she isn’t telling the viewer this.

Condition flowers? What does that involve?

AtIusvue · 04/03/2025 10:45

The flowers look a bit wilted so I doubt they’ve been conditioned (I’m sure it will be hot too)

She’s not stripping the stems so it’s looking messy. I understand she’s going for the Constance Spry natural look (Which is very 2010s) but she’s demonstrating bad habits

I want to know as well @LovelyJubly12 then I might learn something!

LovelyJubly12 · 04/03/2025 10:45

Just sticking them in a bucket of water for a few hours before using them. Different flowers need different conditioning but really it’s just making sure the get a drink after all the travelling in transit they’ve had with no water.

So roses should be stripped of leaves etc and up to their neck. Hydrangeas can be completely submerged in water.

It peps them up and they last a lot longer. Otherwise they wilt.

AtIusvue · 04/03/2025 10:49

This is if you’re buying wholesale. They’ll literally be straight off the truck that morning.

But they’re in water anyway in a vase?

AtIusvue · 04/03/2025 10:50

She not saying that you need to cut the stem and at an angle either, which is important so they can drink the water easily.

I doubt she cares about the flowers. They’re there to pad out the programme and if they’re dead the next day I doubt she is bothered.

With a male chef coming round….She said she needs to ‘ impress this man not just with my doughnuts but my tidiness, kitchen savy and cleanliness’

The avowed feminist indeed

And notice that only her daughter seems to feature in the promotion for this show and 'brand'.

"The boys" are doing manly things like being led to the kitchen by the smell of the bacon she's cooking up for them.

AtIusvue · 04/03/2025 10:51

Ok- she’s said it now and about stripping the leaves..but she wasn’t stripping the leaves herself.

Maybe they will do a DIY programme next where they put together some IKEA furniture.

I am intrigued by the poster who come onto the thread to tell us off for “bullying” and “hating”.

Meghan’s new show is currently headline news globally. She’s been covered in the newspapers, on the radio and both breakfast tv shows in the UK alone. She’s also been ramping up her own publicity with hagiographic articles in people, instagram posts featuring famous friends and her children and puff advance reviews from hand-picked publications who will be favourable. Make no mistake, this attention is wanted.

Yes apparently we’ve not allowed to have opinions on this? Or on its creator? Not allowed to voice our opinions? Not allowed to look at her behaviour over the near decade Meghan has been globally famous and form an opinion about her and her latest pubic endeavour?

Why? Why does Meghan merit mandated kid-glove treatment?

Speaking for myself, it’s not about giving Meghan ‘mandated kid glove treatment.’

These threads are generally extremely critical of Meghan. And it’s not like some posters on here haven’t reviewed Meghan’s past ten years very critically before. It’s a constant theme on here. Doing so just looks silly now.

Yes- it’s always ‘girls’ and ‘boys’. Even when she’s talking about adults. It’s weird

The floral arrangement was very wilted.

I suppose it shows he listens . Sometimes .
Actually he is a good man .

Thank you for the read-a-long, most entertaining! "watching this shit so you don't have to" 😁

Funny, I’ve noticed several threads extremely critical of the currently Royal family members, which have been in those roles for decades now. It’s a constant theme on here too. Never noticed anyone telling those posters that looks silly?

Last time I checked, Meghan is still putting herself intentionally in the public eye.

Meanwhile Meghan has made a non environmental quick trip to New York to surprise her avid Tig followers with her presence 😳 . Double claws on this poor unfortunate it would seem .

Someone hates her on her team - the music is the Dog days are over 😂

Are there people who have been avid Tig followers all these years? 🙄 seems they were invited to a special screening of the show.

I’m on ep 2, sod all the negative comments, it’s cute!! I’m exhausted and I want to go and stay with Meghan to make candles and be fed spaghetti, cake and frittata 😭😁

Those 'girls' look quite young. They must have been very young indeed 'nearly a decade ago'.

And what's with the healing hands thing?

AtIusvue · 04/03/2025 11:05

So what she’s told us of Lili so far: she loves pink and has a cleaning song

Archie: He likes fishing and likes bacon.

Progressive household.

Vespanest · 04/03/2025 11:05

Apparently there is some social media deleting going on from some of the meet and greet group who were personally invited. Some screen shots have already been taken, two have near enough deleted the whole of 2024. May have something to do with questioning of " is Kate still alive".

MrsLeonFarrell · 04/03/2025 09:08

Meghan seems to have mixed up influencer and influential. She wants the latter but is stuck with the former.

I have something stressful happening with a family member today so I may go back on what I said and watch if only to take my mind off things.

I hope all goes as well as they can with your family member @MrsLeonFarrell 💐

AtIusvue · 04/03/2025 11:11

Interesting.

She’s demonstrating how to make salt baked fish.

When showing how to make the salt mixture….she tells us she doesn’t like to measure and she likes to experiment- not follow exactly how many cups water/salt etc. that it takes the pressure off.

Cut to not having enough salt mixture to cover the fish 😂

She has to fill in the gaps by just covering it in salt from the box.

So….she should have measured then…
