Something About Nothing ... #12

[Chuckers]

You two are more than welcome to share the grilled sandwiches........bacon for chuckers too.........

That's a lot of rain mac..........but, I'm sure you need it there.......and blue skies will be back before you know it.......oh was so bored with WD last night.......it needs to move along a little now........


My son just took us out for a quick ice cream.........one place near us just opened up for the season.......they only open from March to October........they serve gorgeous seafood, but do the most amazing ice cream........he had chocolate, with extra chocolate and chocolate sauce........surprise surprise........I had clotted cream and cherry..........lush!!! Nice treat........now I feel like lying down.........lol........

Yay for the grilled cheese! Thanks... but now I want ice cream, especially chocolate...... why does clotted cream sound so disgusting? I would think that if my cream got clotted, I would have to throw it away before it stunk up the fridge.

I may have to check out Toothsome...

 

[schumigirl]

Clotted cream is the nicest! Very indulgent....almost butter like......but not......lol......

Nothing like the clotted cream ice cream you get in Potter. Much nicer.........

Chuckers
Do two nights at hrh then last night at Cbay
You will have the free unlimited ep while at Cbay as deluxe stays give you the check out day included in the ep set up
If your friend joins you on the check out day, add him to your room while you are still at hrh
He can then enjoy the benefits like you

I'm actually staying 7 nights.. coming in on Sunday and leaving on Sunday. I'm thinking I may split stay and do the last 3 nights at HRH.

So you're eating butter? by itself? Does it come in stick form or a tub?

No, I meant texture wise.........it's real cream but very dense, thick and delicious.......comes in a tub.

While it's not as good as what you get, I may have to try some at UO when I go down.

Oh you have to try it..........I asked the TM what it tasted it like and she said it was kinda limey flavour and a bit sour (not nasty) which struck me as very odd......but it kinda was........but it's nice, just not clotted cream I'm used to. I prefer Ben & Jerrys ice cream to the Potter stuff........

We're not the biggest butterbeer fans, but that flavour ice cream is lovely too, we did enjoy that........

That's how I would do it. Have express closer to the weekend. Only issue I see, no experience with it because we drive, is I don't think CB will transfer luggage to a deluxe. Deluxe will transfer to CB. Something to consider. I think I remember you are in the Boston area so I assume you are flying and won't have a car. Idk if CB offers complimentary bus service between hotels like deluxes do. You could Uber over for just a few dollars.

Yes, I am in Boston. Thanks for the tips. I am going to call the reservations help center later and ask some questions

I think I might have to stop visiting this board so much...just keeps reminding me that I am at work and not on RRR or Hulk or Ripsaw Falls...you get the point. The little airplane in my ticker just won't move any faster.

Doesn't help that I have the same weather Mac mentioned, rain until late.

On the bright side....umm....uh...there's...no wait....nope, no bright side.

I do have to confess something as a southern boy listening to the discussion of grilled cheese and bacon, and the bbq pork....I hate pork. I know that should get my US citizenship revoked, and, at the least get me kicked out of the south, but I can't stand it. I also hate tea...of any sort: iced, sweet, in a cup like you Brits. Yep, I know how odd it is, but it's true. And don't get me started on pineapple (only the worst thing on planet Earth!!!). My wife and boys love it all...well, my oldest can't stand tea, either. Combine that with my lack of love for the beach, and you can guess that Hawaii doesn't interest me at all.

Okay, that really is as curmudgeonly as I get...but it is all out there now.

If you guys (gals) want to kick me out, I understand.

No @wagman67 we all like different things - definitely not a problem!

I had our supper all prepped (Kedgeree) but on hold now as DS and DIL have rung to say they've got a dog (been trying to get a rescue for ages) and are on their way home with a Pug (they've been fostering one in the past) and very excited so I'm going over to meet him in just a few minutes!

Hubs and I are off to Crufts on Friday so you can tell we all love dogs in our family. This is the longest we've gone without one and on the lookout ourselves now.

I don't like pork either. Or bacon. Or ham. Or beef. Or seafood. I think it's the lack of liking bacon that would get me kicked out of most groups. I spent the last 19 years living near the SC/GA border and never understood how people drank sweet tea. Tea should not have texture! I'm okay with regular tea but prefer coffee.

I have never tried clotted cream. I've read rave reviews but the name makes it sound gross. Sounds like I need to get over that and try some. I really like the Butterbeer ice cream. Like a proper person raised in New England, I love Ben & Jerry's too. I can't compare the two though as they are so different. We did the Ben & Jerry's factory tour last time we went north. The samples were huge!

My son would never leave Ben & Jerrys factory.........lol.......his favourite ice cream.......we will visit it one day.

Yes, the name clotted does sound like it's a bit dodgy.......but, oh my........it can harden your arteries just looking at it.......so, it's not an everyday thing........but, lush!

I think the butter beer ice cream was our favourite of all the Potter ones.....tried the chocolate chilli, but......not fond of chocolate ice cream anyway, and the chilli was nowhere hot enough in it.

I grew up in the St. Louis metro area and pork is king there

Chicago was the kingdom for beef and St Louis for pork


Now I'm in the South and can find pork at about anywhere I can go

BBQ is different down here but you get used to it
Never had sweet BBQ until I moved to Georgia

Raised with sweet tea due to my maternal unit


Waggy, you fit in right fine here with us
Think of us as the orphanage that takes in any one that steps inside our four walls here....

We welcome all and adopt you no matter what
I'm the type of mom that loves all her kids and still wants more

We don't always agree but we all play nice

You fit in fine here so stay with us or we will make you drive the bus on our imaginary road trips to schumi' s when she makes flourless cake

 

[macraven]

Yes, I am in Boston. Thanks for the tips. I am going to call the reservations help center later and ask some questions

One poster in another thread said it cost $5 for the taxi to move 5 peeps with luggage from Cbay to rpr when they changed hotels

Probably about the same to go from Cbay to hrh

Suggest you call Cbay direct line and ask them about transferring luggage to hrh

Not sure if the reservation line would give correct info
They are offsite and might have never been to the hotels

The hotel front desk/Cbay, WOULD have an answer

Kohlby I'm a black coffee drinker also
We can sit at the front table here together

All the tea drinkers can sit at the last table


And star buck fans will have the table in the southeast side of the room


Beer drinkers can sit anywhere they wish

Wait.........I drink all of those..........where do I sit.........

Gotta be real British Tea though, strong with milk.............But, I now drink black coffee in the mornings........love Starbucks (sorry) and can drink the occasional beer......much prefer a good wine though...........

Long as I have a seat I'm happy I suppose..........


Love pulled pork and all the good stuff like ribs.......I could be a Southerner easily........heck if it's meat......I'll eat it.........none of those Grits though.......bleurgh.........

 

[macraven]

Oh.... was not thinking of that.... oh my....


Probably the drinkers of assorted beverages can switch tables when ever they want

And let's play musical chairs will we are at it!

Do have to tell you I am the queen of cheat when I play that game
