Ginny,

My youngest daughter lives in Wellington but makes quite a few trips to Auckland... she is in marketing/website production and does presentations for the company she works for. This is where she stays when she is in Auckland... jammy beggar.

Quite often she goes to functions there as well when she stays more than one night.

Persie

<3 <3 <3

P.S. - Shame they don't have any of those 'little fat pancakes' to finish it off though. :-D

Dea x

Good grief Dea.....you'll not need another feed for a week!

Pers.....very jammy begger she is

Hi Grace,

I hate cleaning ovens too but this one is quite new so I can keep it under control :-D

Also, It cooks by 'circo-therm' which means that it cooks at a lower temperature (same length of time but by a different method) so the food does not spit and splash all over the oven. - All except the base has special liners on it which just stay clean !!!

If there are any marks or crumbs etc., I just wait till it cools a little then wipe them off with a damp cloth after every use.

Easy, peasy.............. I just LOVE this one - It's 'magic' !!!

Dea x

I always eat lots more at breakfast times when I stay in Hotels Ginns - I just can't resist trying everything.

I DO miss that now I don't stay away.................

Dea x

I could get chef to combine two pancakes into one so it is a fatty.... we have some small pans and he is an expert flipper overer with the pancake pan. In fact one of the staff more than happy to do it at the table for you. They can also bring it out to poolside.... nothing is too much trouble.

P xx

Thank you Persie - I will see if I have room for one when I have finished - If so, I will ask.

Dea x

O.K. - Here I am............ all clean and 'suitably attired' !!

Can someone please serve my lovely breakfast now - I'm starving ?

Thank you,

Dea x

I'm overwhelmed.........scrummyumptious Persie....er...where do I start? I love being waited on too.


Trouble is, I haven't had my shower yet so I do hope that Dea doesn't hoover all the goodies up before I can get back again.


Yes please Gins.....get dressed, you've slopped summat all down yer top!


Meals on Wheels for Fans........love it!



Dea....by the way.....I'm 'bagging' that tall, dark handsome waiter over there >>>>>>>>>>>>>

the one with the twinkle in his eye! ;)



Now, what shall I wear?

It's all right Cynthia, - They have LOTS ! and I will only be eating the few 'meagre morsels' that I ordered :-D

Now, go and put something suitable on and come and join me!

Dea x

Your table will be served as you park your selves.....

I do hope you all enjoy.... good kiwi silver service.

Persie...

9.30pm here and I am away for awhile.

Red light on over here under this lampost...>>>>>>>>>
Please to add some toasted cheese on that Gluten free bread and marmite and place some some raw onion on top...Thank you..

Off to do some gasmantle shopping,no spares left and wouldnt want to run out..
~~~~~

Glad it's not me that's having raw onion...

Passes raw onion to F by G on a long window pole?

She's leaning on the lamp post at the corner of the street watching meals on wheels go by,

Oh me, oh my,

Well Persie - you have indeed redeemed yourself so yes, I 'will' do breakfast tomorrow - It won't be of the same standard as this one though :-D

Maybe Cynthia could do Saturday?

I am happy to do Sunday + lunch, unless anyone else would prefer to do this, and perhaps we could have some volunteers for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday until Sylvia returns?

Maybe you would do 'another stint' Persie? as you cook such interesting breakfasts.

Dea Xxx
