"With love, Meghan" on Netflix

I’m watching Prue Leith’s Cotswolds Kitchen.
Lovely kitchen, super garden, spectacular views, great recipes, visits from genuine friends and family love.

Watch and learn, Meghan.

In a clip I saw today NotSpaghetti She leant across the table full of thumbprint cookies that they were filling with jam and dragged her white shirt across them. It's something you learn not to do id you do a lot of cooking.

Does anyone truly live that lifestyle? Surely one would have / need staff

I can't believe I watched any of this! It was maybe half of it.
Unfortunately there were things in the bee section that made me feel quite cross which meant I was less well disposed than I might have been otherwise.

I did find her (strangely) rather bossy with her easy-going make-up artist friend - mainly during candle making. For example he said he loved the smell of the beeswax on its own so she virtually overrode that and put fragrant oils in - peppermint and eucalyptus!.. Why?

Also, if you are making a bath salt mix with Epsom Salts, why put pink salt in? It won't dissolve the same and will be gritty until it does. Also, being salt it may dry out sensitive skin... it will (surely) work against The Epsom salt?
And please dilute your essential oil in a carrier first...

So many problems in such a short time...
I really think I've watched enough - it was desperately slow too...though the photography was good!

I enjoyed the first episode. Very relaxing and feelgood. Will be watching more.

I agree, someone commented in the paper over the weekend that it's like paging through a glossy magazine .

I caught a bit on "Lorraine" earlier this week where a commentator being interviewed said the hate directed at Meghan is out of proportion to her "crime" of having made a lifestyle programme. I wish Meghan (and her family) the best for this venture.

I don’t have a skillet -not even sure what it is actually- so I thought my frying pan would do. Hers looked just like spaghetti but yes maybe it should have been noodles?

I had to use jiffy lemon not fresh, but actually I do think a bit of lemon perked it up

I separated the spaghetti with a knife and fork and in the end it was ok. I’ve eaten worse.

About as joyful as my cooking gets I’m afraid.😬

Americans tend to call many different types of pasta 'noodles'.

I didn’t see the programme so cannot comment on that.

When I cook dried pasta in a sauce I put it in the oven, have not tried it on the hob.

It’s not her house though, she rented somebody else’s home to film the series

Yes I know that but apparently it’s in the same district.

I’ve just watched the first episode. The only bit that interested me was the amazing view at the end.

No wonder she didn’t want to live in Windsor under the Heathrow flight path. 😂😂

We recently cancelled our Netflix subscription because we couldn’t find anything to watch that we liked. I don’t think I’ll renew it !

That's not a skillet, tho', is it?
Just a common or garden pan?

Or have I got the wrong recipe?

Isn't a skillet just a different name for a frying pan?

I prefer frying pan.

Vanessa has a double first from Cambridge. Always thought she was funny, erudite and resilient. Unlike some.

Ok, something’s gone wrong. It’s been boiling away for ages and the spaghetti is all stuck together🙁🤷🏽‍♀️

Will your darling children be eating it?

At least with Delia you know it will work.

Thank you Anniebach - loved Vanessa.

😂😂😂

I take it you’re not feeling the joy?

Megan has lied often, fact,

Strangely enough, I have just seen a clip of her on another show talking about her meals when she was a child being ‘very much from farm to table’. So, no microwave dinners then.

Thank you, Anniebach

Best laugh I’ve had in ages. 😂😂😂

Anniebach 👏👏 Vanessa was fantastic!

Oh - image coming soon 😁
