hearts Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Oh my goodness - how did I miss all of this? I'm so sorry ladies. I am too late? Have I missed the wedding? If not I'll get the stables ready in a jiffy and have the pirate ship come collect any who aren't travelling by blimp to the Island. Ooh pirate ship please!

Although I will get the stables ready it is only so you can ride in comfort to where you will be staying.... http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/daysout/properties/osborne-house/ Got to keep you ladies in the comfort and style you deserve, plus there is plenty of room to park the blimp.

Elliebellikins Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I also thought Mels was from the US, she didn't sound English at all to me. In fact she sounds a bit like she's a raunchy dirty girl from the South. Like she runs a bordello of wind chimes in New Orleans. Kind of bums me out that she's from England, because I was really enjoying my fantasy of her running that bordello.. Not that I don't love England. I love all you English gals! Love you too Lady V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cinnamonmel Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 This thread cracks me up. I do love the southern accent! As for my bordello, no chimes allowed.

Yay, we don't have to stay in the hayloft after all! Are you sure you can trust us Americans not to shoot up the joint and ride our horses into the house? (we know what you think of us over there!) I knew someone who told her father that she wanted to move to America, and he said, "What do you want to live THERE for? The place is filled with cowboys all shooting at each other!"

When we went to Ireland I ordered the scone/bread basket every night and they served it with lemon curd, rasberry jam, and CLOTTED CREAM!! Let's just say, the lemon and rasberry were lonely!

Earl Grey, hot, with cream - delightful. Often how I wind down my evenings. And as someone truly descended of Scots...did I mention I love haggis? I also like Vegemite (there used to be an Aussie restaurant in town, it was yummy) but have not had opportunity to try Marmite. Bangers & mash. Scotch eggs. Whisky (scotch or Irish, makes no never mind as long as it's the good stuff)... I have English, Irish, Welsh, Scots, Norse Viking, French, Spanish, Italian and Cherokee in my ancestry that my mom has found so far.

ETA: Do you just wanna put it in my journal area for the time being? I adore scones, and I adore lemon curd. I had a raspberry scone from Starbucks the other day, so buttery and bad for you but so, SO good. And I always wind down with tea. However, your connection of food with ancestry brings up an interesting point AC--I'm descended from the polar opposite side of Europe! My family is from Greece, and I think many people are misinformed as to what is truly Greek food vs. what was brought there by the Turks during their long invasion. Real Greek food is not gyros or shish kebab or falafels; those, along with quite a few other things, were all brought in by the Turks. Real Greek food in a nutshell is chop the head off something on your farm and roast it, or throw what you catch in the sea on the grill. Sardines fried to a crisp. A special type of homemade pasta (! not all pasta is Italian) in a caramelized onion sauce. Lightly spiced cookies. Mastic gum on a spoon stirred in a cup of water. And more types of bread than there are fish in the Aegean. Funny how my grandparents actually came from the Greek-owned territory of Pontia, which was actually between the Ukraine and Georgia before the communists cleared it out and they fled to the mainland. They had a different language and everything, not just local colloquialisms but an almost entirely different tongue that sounds more Russian than Greek, knowing bits and pieces of it. I don't really know what kinds of things exactly are in my blood. There has been strong evidence of Rus Viking blood around the Black Sea, but I'm probably some sort of eastern European mutt.

luna65 Posted September 19, 2012 Author Share Posted September 19, 2012 (! not all pasta is Italian).
