Mandana

Nooooooo .. you can't be!

TruBrit

Mandana

I had roast lamb with all the trimmings. The only thing that I wasn't keen on was the (excessive) amount of garlic on the carrots. The rest was

Can't speak for everyone else .. I think we were too busy nattering to ask how each others' food was!!

When are you due to see BJ again?

TruBrit

BJ's OH Richard is calling me Tues with a date, it'll prolly be in about 2 or 3 weeks and i'll let you know.

never had their roasts but their fish and chips are good. did anyone take any pix?

Mandana

Have to say the fish n' chips looked particularly good. Amanda said the chips were 'real' too!

I had my camera, and meant to ask the waitress to take a picture, but everytime I thought of it she'd disappeared. I didn't pay her to either!

SarahInTX

Had a lovely time. Great to meet the new people!

I'll be back in town by the 14th, so looking forward to it.

I didn't have carrots, so can't comment.

Mandana

SarahInTX

Aw. That's too bad. We're all looking forward to meeting you!

SarahInTX

I had the F&C. Very good. (Though not *quite* as good as the real thing! )

mctraill

Ditto on the meeting everyone,

I had the roast beef and yorkshire pudds, very, very good. But the garlic, husband says he is going to ban me to the spare room, its nearly 10.00pm and its still repeating.

look forward to the next one.

Hiya Everyone, Sorry not been on here in awhile but been busy with work they keep bloody calling me in on my days off lol, well good news for me the CNA course starts in the next couple of weeks so I will be out of the bloody kitchen cooking all the time it does me head in cooking especially for 162 residents me don't love cooking at the best of times lol.
The only drawback to working where I am working when i become a CNA is wearing bloody pink I am gonna look like bloody BARBIE .
Good to hear you all had a great time today wish I could of been there instead of cooking Beef Stroganoff, I have never cooked it the way they cook it over here strange Mine never come out white looking before and never cooked it with Egg Noodles weird I thought it was with rice but then I am in Texas and they seem to cook everything here with bloody cheese.
Hey Trubrit you would of been proud of me today I should them what us brits are made of one of the girls tried to take the piss today out of me and I let her have it verbally of course she was real shocked lol, she won't take the piss out of me so soon again but then I shouldn't have the problems much longer now just itching to get onto this CNA course and do my caring again miss it like crazy and it looks like we will be moving in the next 6 months to Beaumont which is a bit more lively than were I live now thank god lol.
Is it me or are they all bible bashes over here lol hope I havn't offended anybody they by what I have just said, I am a catholic and its weird to me the way they go on alot about religion over here and how we will be all doomed if we don't tow the line or something like that lol.
Well take care everyone and will be back on here soon
