Your posts are always soo interesting....and delicious sounding! :)

They sure are. Sally always has me drooling and standing in my refrigerator door looking.

You 2 are a complete pair of sweethearts.....trouble is, I'm just 'so thoroughly English'.....:D

We've just had roast beef, roast potatoes, Yorkshire puds, carrots, mashed swede with butter + black pepper and peas.....of course with creamed horseradish sauce and (UK-type!) gravy.....now you can't get more British than that - sorry!!! :D x

See what I mean? The woman eats like the Queen of England - roast beef, Yorkshire pudding, etc.! My lord, if I ate like that, I'd probably have a cholesterol level of 500! But oh, Sally, this time of the year when it gets cold, I start to quiver just thinking of our Lawry's The Prime Rib, a longtime Dallas restaurant famous for its beef. It's the restaurant where all the Cotton Bowl football players eat when in town for the Cotton Bowl at New Years plus lots of other football players all year round. We always have their lunch of excellent prime rib, Yorkshire pudding/gravy, peas, Lawry's lovely, succulent rolls and the special trifle(better have a designated driver!) and head off for shopping at North Park and the Galleria! It is a yearly homage we've made to Christmas, fine eating and Christmas shopping since 1988. If you are ever in Dallas, find your way to Lawry's in North Dallas for a fine meal. Makes me want to just head over there for lunch today! Mmmmmmm.

I had a continental breakfast again.

Jeanie - if ever I'm over in Dallas, I shall pick you up en route and we'll both have a meal fit for royalty - on me! I bet we'd have the best fun....:D

Oh, and I loved your one-liner...."I had a continental breakfast again"! It actually made me feel quite guilty....;) :)

By the way, what's a Lawry's lovely please?

Oh, and I've just had half a dozen Thorntons chocolates with my coffee (which of course had sugar and cream in! ;)) x

I haven't read this in awhile and in reading the last few posts on your way to Dallas can you please make a stop near Washington DC to get me so I can join you and Jeanie:)? I don't know what Thorntons chocolates are but anything ending in chocolate sounds good to me:)

Btw I had French toast, fried potatoes and bacon (not turkey either) for bfast....best part my husband brought it to me in bed:) Gosh I love that man:)

I had an english muffin for breakfast...and just now having lunch. Fresh cornbread...pinto beans....macaroni and crushed tomatoes and cream potatoes...very fattening but oh so yummy!!

:D Wouldn't that be just the best fun?!!? :D If ever I do - I shall - I promise you that :)

The thought of your breakfast is actually making me feel quite peckish - now, what shall we have for supper....;) :) x

Btw - Aren't flooring men just the best?!!?

Linguisa, eggs over medium, english muffins, fat back bacon, vanilla cream coffee.

That would be a blast! Yes something about those flooring men:)

Sally has been at the vintage port!

Not Lawry's lovely - it's "...Lawry's lovely, succulent rolls....." Yeasty, moist and to die for! Pull one apart and the moist steam just boils out of the fresh-baked roll into the air..................ah..........Heaven!!!

Sally, you must buzz the Gulfstream down and scoop up Morgan on your way to Big D. We'll wait until the teams for the Cotton Bowl are due for their Lawry's dinner tradition - one teams goes one day and the other goes a different day. We could manage to be there both days. It's after Christmas but what the heck! Talk about a lot of beef - and its not all from Lawry's fine kitchens!!! Much of it is 6' 6" and over, looks awfully dashing in a suit and in testimony to the quality of the beefcake, there is a line of Dallas' richest, most fetching young ladies & more than a few vintage Texas cougars in line well past the limo's and news cameras when the doors open for lunch those days! We could squeeze right in! Fine plate of beef for lunch and fine beef to smile back at you, nod the head with a shy, dimpled "Ma'am" smile - can't beat a day like that anywhere. Football players in Dallas all have the Texas "Ma'am" smile down pat! So stick your bottle of nitro right beside your passport in your Hermes before leaving home - you'll need it!!!!!!!!!!

:D Hee hee! I think I got lost in translation - I was thinking Lawry's lovely was some kind of drink or sauce.....:eek: :D Plus all the rest sounds quite heavenly (sorry, Andy! :D).

I've just had 2 toasted tea cakes for lunch, absolutely oozing with butter...that's it 'til dinner tonight....:( :D x

No, Lawry\'s is just where you go for good prime rib in Dallas and the restaurant been around from before all our time here. The restaurant, now rebuilt and in a new location since the early 80\'s, is a tradition in Dallas since I was a kid and they do separately sell seasonings, sauces, etc., named Lawry\'s, in supermarkets, etc. They have restaurants in Dallas, Beverly Hills, Chicago, Las Vegas and internationally. They are listed in Wikipedia but much of the information about their beginnings is incorrect and or incomplete. I wonder how many calories the average diner there puts from appetizers, drinks, meals, desserts and after dinner drinks and coffee!

I had coffee, cream & sugar for breakfast. Watching TV coverage of Hurricane Sandy.
