Tomorrow, follow the example of the King.

Dress up.

March around.

Look magnificent.

And put on a silly hat!

I'm going to head over to the Boston Harbor and dump some tea in.  I'm fortunate to work about 800' away 🙂

I guess my invitation got lost in the mail so I won't be attending.  Best wishes though to KC3.

Watching the news this morning (in my life-long desire to expand my horizons) I heard a new term to add to my vocabulary; clotted cream.

As with all things British when it comes to food, they can pick the grossest descriptions.  Apparently it's a cross between ricotta and Philadelphia Cream Cheese.  It's probably not too bad, apparently eaten with scones (a failed attempt at homemade biscuits..with some sugar thrown in).  And I'll avoid that whole "biscuit" business.

And then there's pudding...

Had I been alive in England in the 17th. century I too probably would have hopped a boat for this side of the pond.  If nothing else just to get away from the bad food.

PS - They do have something over there called "fish & chips".  Something stolen from our Long John Silver's food chain no doubt.  😉

When everything was owned by the high muckety-mucks but all the work was done by the common people, the separation of the products in the slaughterhouse followed that same status.  The common people only received what was deemed unfit by the owners.  Blood, intestines, various organs, etc.  Thus, it was imperative for the cooks for the poor to develop dishes that could be made with such products.

I guess that he can keep the seat warm for William V as well as anyone else.

No way he will ever be as popular as his mom. But he should know the job well after being on training for over 70 years.

I just shake my head any time someone mentions the Royals or the Kardashians

Having been born in London and exactly one half working class British extraction, and 100% American, I'm torn between apathy and complete indifference. In other news half the country is on strike to for pay increases to keep up with inflation, but lets blow a $100 million anointing a new king.

Charlie Windsor doesn’t seem to be in any way majestic to me.

If a silly old geezer went around insisting people address him as “your majesty” we would probably put him in a home.
