The Good Banter Thread

[Big Lou]

I don't remember the grade but I do recall we were all sent home. Glued to the TV for the duration.

My mom says she Remembers it well like it was yesterday, she was at home watching TV and her three children, 3 and younger, and another older Baby sister on the way. I was still a Twinkle in my dads eye..

Lucille decided to give herself a big treat for her 70th birthday by staying overnight in a really nice hotel.. When she checked out the next morning, the desk ...clerk handed her a bill for $250.00. She demanded to know why the charge was so high "I agree it's a nice hotel, but the rooms aren't worth $250..00 for just an overnight stay - I didn't even have breakfast!" The clerk told her that $250.00 is the 'standard rate,' and breakfast had been included had she wanted it. She insisted on speaking to the Manager. The Manager appeared and, forewarned by the desk clerk, announced: "This hotel has an Olympic-sized pool and a huge conference center which are available for use." "But I didn't use them." ''Well, they are here, and you could have." He went on to explain that she could also have seen one of the in-hotel shows for which they were so famous."We have the best entertainers from the world over performing here." "But I didn't go to any of those shows.." "Well, we have them, and you could have." No matter what amenity the Manager mentioned, she replied, "But I didn't use it!" and the Manager countered with his standard response. After several minutes discussion, and with the Manager still unmoved, she decided to pay, wrote a check and gave it to him. The Manager was surprised when he looked at the check. "But Madam, this check is for only $50.00 "That's correct I charged you $200.00 for sleeping with me." "But I didn't!" "Well, too bad, I was here, and you could have."

Favorite cooking shows?

America's Test Kitchen
Cook's Country (from America's Test Kitchen)

 

[sissy]

I very rarely watch cooking shows because they mostly do meat and since I am a vegetarian I really don't watch them .Since hubby has to watch his cholesterol and fat intake I have to be really careful what I cook .I used to love the jazzy vegetarian on tv but seems they took it off .

 

[MitchM]

We get and record the Jazzy Vegetarian here. I do some vegetarian meals.

 

[sissy]

For some reason they took it off here and not sure why .We don't get a tv guide for everyday and went on the net and can get some of her stuff there .
