On At “Dinner at Shibden Hall,” We Sure Did Dine!

I don’t *think* you meant this as a euphemism, but it sure as heck sounds like it *could* be a euphemism. Either way, carry on thinking about chef Melissa’s soup!

I like that they don’t shy away from that reality, it makes the show more interesting

  1. Wow, wow, wow. I got two comment awards! And one of them was for my first ever pun on AS. Thank you!

    And right now I am drinking iced ginger peach green tea (that I made myself) and it is delicious.

    • intermediate-level favor is my favorite.

      wondering though… like, the context for intermediate-level given what the simple favor turned into is … beyond what i can grasp.

  2. Thank you Darcy (and Charlotte and Kristana for the lead and inspiration)! I would go see every single on of those A Simple Favor sequels.

  3. I love how amid all the chaos we always take time out to cackle.

    I would’ve contributed something about a “soup chef” somewhere but yeah, didn’t happen. These Comment Awards sure save me though !
