Rare jpalbny Posted October 3, 2022 #14576 Share Posted October 3, 2022 (edited) Sounds tasty, Lola. I'd enjoy it. But Chris doesn't like goat cheese. I guess being married to an old goat has made it somehow less appealing to her? Edited October 3, 2022 by jpalbny 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lola my wife is allergic to cheese ( the bacteria in the sour process). so I have to get my fix on a cruise🥺 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just the best with cheese. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8Babe Posted October 3, 2022 #14581 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Hi all My turn to twitter on now, hope you don’t mind Lola 😀 I lost my husband in April this year and he did ALL the cooking, so I too am having to learn a few things: 1. How to cook. 2. How much (or little) food you need for one - not the whole pack of pasta or meat. 3. How to use our fancy steam oven. 4. How to put the lid on the bottle of wine so I don’t drink the lot in one night. I don’t post often but drop by everyday to catch up on the gossip. Thanks everyone for providing a great place to visit. I have booked a cruise next May, so very excited about that. Taking my daughter on her first SS cruise for her 30th. Take care, Karin 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lincslady Posted October 4, 2022 #14588 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Hi Karin - I could have written almost all of that myself! So pleased that maybe I inspired you to post. ('Reach out' is the current woke phrase to use, I guess - what Meghan would say). So far I have managed to avoid the slippery slope of getting through a whole bottle of wine in the evening too - about my only bit of self-discipline when I am on my own at home, but the fairly ordinary stuff I drink seems to come to no harm being reclosed, as it mostly comes with a screwcap. The good stuff with a cork gets opened when family or friends visit, so no need for a Coravin then - but they are good. It is great to get encouragement on here from the good people who cheer you up when you are down, or awake at 3 a.m., as I am now. Keep posting, Lola 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daveywavey70 Posted October 4, 2022 #14589 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Mr Luxury perhaps you could advise? I Would dearly love an old fashioned detached collar, side pocketed, bibbed evening shirt. I’ve got a good supply of collars and studs but I Need a new shirt. I Always used Harvie and Hudson in the past but they seem to have been devoured by some sort of “corporation” are any of the old tailors still there in Jermyn St . I Never feel like I’ve made the effort without the rigmarole of a proper bow tie and collar studs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8Babe Posted October 4, 2022 #14590 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Lola - Wow, I could have written your words too, thanks for the encouragement. I leave the corked bottles for when I know someone is visiting too. Also understand what you’re saying about waking. Thanks again. Daveywavey - my husband loved T M Lewin and Harvie and Hudson. Hope you find what you want. Is there a special occasion coming up? Best wishes, Karin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lincslady Posted October 4, 2022 #14591 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Daveywavey - I so agreed with your mention of going to London to shop. I shop online mainly, the worst problem being sizing for a woman, as one company's 14 is another's 10. And US sizes are completely different. Hopefully this is easier for a chap - essentially collar sizes should be pretty accurate, and I think they do different lengths of body and sleeve. I know this from my son, who has a very long back. (I seem to remember that you are very tall?) I will bet Mr. L will point you in the right direction; I feel sure he is extremely elegant.😉 Lola 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lincslady Posted October 4, 2022 #14594 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Not my main reason - but certainly one of them; not so much not cooking, but having so much choice at each meal, including different cuisines, and things I have never been able to master, like perfectly risen souffles. There are quite a few Coolers who would make excellent chefs, if they so wished, but yours truly is certainly not one of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lois R Posted October 4, 2022 #14595 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Hi Lola, I love goat cheese but never thought about eating it warm.......I may try it too.🙂 Hi Karin, also sending you my condolences and welcome. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lincslady Posted October 4, 2022 #14597 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Lois - the beauty of a fairly hard goats' cheese is that it heats so well, goes soft but does not melt. A round one is the nicest for looks. Lola 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mysty Posted October 4, 2022 #14598 Share Posted October 4, 2022 And now that we have introduced fashion into Cooler topics (thank you @Daveywavey70) I can tell the lovely women on the Cooler bar stools about KALIYANA. It is a store in Ottawa with an online presence. The designer is Canadian. I have supported this shop for many moons. Here is one of my outfits ( I guess I haven't yet started dressing my age 😅) ....... Please note that this is NOT me modeling the outfit. https://kaliyana.com/ 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
