Got some nice bread and salad to go with the seafood platter.....

[joggerjayne]

I'll go for the vegetarian option, please.

[mccfluff]

got to go for the seafood platter (no sea snot or mussels though)

and cheese of course :-)

[joggerjayne]

LOL ... That is SOOO never going to be my choice.

I'd be tempted by the mussels ... but then ... there's a seafood platter.

I'd just have the fruits de mer, with a dry white (is it too early to think about wine??)

=0)

[joggerjayne]

What is sea snot ??

[mccfluff]

oysters JJ - did you really have to ask :-)

[joggerjayne]

Oooooooh ...

I LOVE them ... although I have had a few nasty reactions to them.

=0(

[mccfluff]

why anyone you voluntarily eat something that looks like that is beyond me!

[merciasounds]

I couldn't eat an oyster either fluff!!

[merciasounds]

Good morning mercia and 4-legs. May I please have the mushrooms - please don't hold back on the brandy - and tropical fruit salad. Coffee by the bucket today - thank you

[merciasounds]

Hi ttfn - paw-shakes woofs and licky kisses for you from your 4 legged friends. Lotte is as bright as a button today - she was out with the kids all day yesterday, i think she tired herself out and over did it a bit - they'd got a beach ball and she was tearing around after it! She's got a treat tonight, she LOVES chicken livers, she doesn't usually get a look in because I make pate with them, but i've put half a dozen aside for her to mix with her kibble and chicken meat tonight, she'll love that - wolf it down as they say!! Coffee percolating be ready in a minute!!

[ttfn]

Glad to read Lotte is back on form - always such a worry. I did reply to your thread of yesterday. Chicken pate - that has brandy in it too! Hope to see it on tmrw's menu. ♥
