And I will add that they're away from friends and families... OK, for some of them -Hannah, Colin or Joao- weknow that they've not worked on charters outside of BDM, but it's not the case for Travis, for instance.
I'm on the "unpopular opinion" side here, because I thought the way that Sandly handled it was the good way. Talking with Hannah first (don't forget Hannah's brother problems with alcohol), talking to Travis after, voicing her concerns percisely and giving him a really good advice was the best way to handle it, for me. And YES, the "try 30 days and see" was a really good advice, because he will see his relation with alcohol from another perspective, and will -or not- give it a try. But she was really helpful and cheering here.
I was on Anastasia's side, regarding the stuff to buy for table settings, because I KNOW the shop where they went and, YES, it's cheap and tacky. For real
A good EP for me, lol !-

Kinda off topic, but I'm always quite surprised regarding your discussions about accents, because it's like if you never think about "us", foreign people, for whose English is NOT our native language at all, and I'm always asking myself : what can they do not understand, if I do ?!? lol !

I found the image I was "seeing"... And I'm really hoping that it's not a problem to post it here, as it's part of History and sports.
EDIT : I found another image, without the Nazi logo, and it's much "better" and less problematic to share 😉.
(EDIT 2 : @Ham On Wry : I googled Munich 1936 Olympics 😉 )

... Dani's design was jacked--those little hooks and the squareness of the eagle's wings along with the head turned sideways, made it look like the eagle as rendered --I say this matter of factly-- in some Nazi imagery. If i could provide an example without googling "nazi eagle" I would. But some of you get what I'm talking about, i imagine. I would not have been pleased to get that, if I'd asked for an eagle.
I get it perfectly, because it's what I thought too !

I noticed also that the last answered post doesn't appear anymore on my homepage ! Only the forums I've chosen to follow, but not the last answered topic !

My two cents on it : Colin will talk to Sandy, And Sandy will tell him that's OK to leave, even if she doesn't like it, but it won't get June back. Colin stays. Why do I say that ? Because June hasn't any twitter or public SM account, afaik, lol !

It's up on CMT. It's just not showing up on the videos page yet. You have to click the first episode, and then on the sidebar, episode 2 will show up. Here's the link:
Unfortunately, for us, non US residents, it's not possible to go on their website ! It's redirected on their youtube page... Even with Hola...

I really liked this interview !

Thank you, Diane! This answer does not seem to exist in baking books or on the Internet.
Does your husband happen to know the amount? Do I replace some of the feed flour with it, or use it in addition to it? The diastalic malt powder I have is based with rye flour, from King Arthur.
Does it change the amount of water needed?
I don't know. He doesn't neither. He's not a baker (even if he's still making cakes, croissants, pastries, etc. ), but he told me he never used it when he was making bread (some years ago, lol !) and that you don't need it if you've got a good sourdough. But I will stop here, because we don't have the same flours, products, etc... (and I'll add that I don't like "sugary" bread at all, and we don't like the bread like you do in NA, so, of course, we don't follow the same receipes)

Thank you so much for your story and post! I hope you continue these throughout the season, as I know no sailors or chefs.
I really love your thoughts on basic foods. You are the culinary Coco Chanel of "less is more." 💕
i have a lot of respect for all the knowledge you have had access to from your husband.
Awwww... Thank you ❤️ I really appreciate.

As we have some chefs and strong home cooks here, is anybody able to help with a question I can't find the answer to online?
What effect does adding diastalic malt powder to a soursough starter have?
Will it make a more sour, "tangier" sourdough bread?
It "nourishes" and helps the sourdough to grow, told hubby

... Wonder why Maurice wasn’t pounding the pavement to find a buyer for Dorit and PK’s <rental> house, and finding them a new house round the corner from the Umanski homestead?! ...
It has been ! In last season of Million Dollar Listing, with the David(s), who are working for The Agency. After the robbery, PK decided to put it out off the market 😄

So far she has done, gnocci, risotto, burgers, steak and mash, cauliflower soup and a cake most people can make easily. Hardly fine dining and i think most people could cook those things at home to such a standard !
She also needs help in the galley and is very arrogant about her skills. She was not responsible for 50% of that tip !
Then next week we saw a clip where she doesn't know how to make mint jelly ! I am not sure if she even knew what it was. As was mentioned on a previous season, a yacht chef needs to be good at everything and needs to be able to cook on the fly. She seems to rely too much on recipes (you often see her consulting her phone) or her mum !
French -born and trained- Chef's and restaurant owner wife here :
Just to let you know that having the humility of checking for a receipe and following it is ESSENTIAL in this job, and it's absolutely not considered as something "weak", or a lack of knowledge or professionalism at all. Asking her mother for a pragmatic solution to "down-sweetened" her Chantilly for the icing and ending by doing a buttercream instead, by adding butter to the cream, like she did as her mother told her, neither...
I'm NOT a chef, but I'm quite good at cooking 😉 I thaught Hubby some receipes, and when he's not sure about something, he asks me... We also create some plates together, sometimes. We've also some friends -and clients- who are "starred" in the Michelin's and/or Gault and Millault guides, so I have the pretention to think that I've got a little bit of knowledge regarding how it works in real world, and what she does is exactly how she should doing it. Until now at least, but she's got the right attitude, the right humility regarding her position (even the "fake it 'till you make it", because she's putting what it needs to learn and grow.)
ETA : I hope this post doesn't sound cocky or like if I'm lecturing you, because it's not my intent at all. My goal is only to explain/clarify, as I have a good knowledge of this working environnment, requirements, service, etc... 😉
ETA#2 : and "basic food", when well made with good products is AMAH-ZING ! It's my forte and I "helped" Hubby to "tone down" some of his plates, for the better. Let the product speak ! "Let the carrot be a carrot and taste like a carrot" ! I have to admit that we're really lucky here in Switzerland, because we've got quite good products, with taste, no antibiotics, etc... It's expensive, but our basic products are good, tasteful and healthy.-

It's always summer in the mediterranean. Did you see how they were dressed? My point stands.
Where are you living to assert that ?!? Because October, in Cannes'area, is not that hot at all ! 65°F - 70°F is not "Summer". And I'm not even talking about the evenings/nights !

ETA: They're in the South of France, where cuisine is very important to holiday goers. You probably couldn't swing a dick 1 meter in any direction without hitting someone who could sub in for a charter or the entire season in the galley! I mean fuck Sandy, pick up the goddamn phone and call your fav restaurant on shore and ask them to find you a chef, you'll be eternally grateful and bring all your charters to their place at least once a charter. It's called Using You Brain.
Yes. But no. The hired person need to be trained on boats & certified, AND pass the Bravo approval.... No as easy as it seems 😉

When have we ever seen LuAnn be charitable, truly charitable, or go out of her way to help s friend in need? I can’t think of a time in ten years. All the other women can set themselves aside when they are needed, but LuAnn is just a taker, and it’s hard to be friends with someone who operates that way every single day.There are many narcissists throughout all the RH franchises, but LuAnn is a malignant, toxic narcissist. That’s the difference, and why she IS worse than the others. She hasn’t even tried to learn how to pretend to feign interest and empathy. The only times she’s engaged in a conversation about someone else is when it’s ugly gossip.
I agree 100% with your whole post and, yes, Except when she HAD to do community service -I don't know how it's called... when she was serving soup- I can't remember any neither !!!!
Aditionnally, all her TH were invalidating what she told the orther women when she came back ! Yes, she came back because of her obligations regarding of her sobriety, but all the rest was what she knew she was supposed to say, but no way she was feeling it... And, in my books, it's not being a narcissist, but a sociopath 😩-

Is there something about being in that industry that inspires smoking? I know that younger kids around our community are now using Juul. (e-cigarettes), and most older adults don't smoke. So, is it still popular with the 20-30's crowd? It just seems yesteryear.
Yes... It's a really good way to remove you from any situation ! Nobody will contest it (for real 😉 )
