I used San Marzano tomatoes for the first time, they are marvellous!

Oh those pretty duchess potatoes. You clearly have piping skills which I lack.

Were the San Marzano tinned tomatoes?

I'm trying to decide what I want for my B-Day dinner tonight. I would have to had started pickling the beef last weekend for sauerbraten, so I'm leaning toward steamed blue crab. But then I'm off work today, so there is plenty of time to decide.

Happy Birthday! Blue crab sounds fab.

In my quest to regain my Adonis like body of my youth I am staying on the diet and toilet for another week or so. Turkey escalopes with the usual salads, the killer is the raw cabbage salad add the spicy stuffed peppers and Houston we have lift off. Any one who is Concassed (malapropism) should try this diet'

Could also be known as "being out ont'pish"

Oh, boy. Here's one that really highlights a difference between US and UK English. In the US, an outhouse is an outdoor toilet. I don't think you'd want to use it as a gym.

After a particularly...spicy meal, you'd visit that and come back and say, "What a workout I've just had!"

That's Mornay sauce.

People I know IRL will say bechamel as the proper name for a basic cream sauce, but I think it's the only proper sauce name they know, because they'll say something like, "Oh, my homemade mac-and-cheese starts with a bechamel sauce that I've added cheese to-"

"So, a mornay sauce, then."

"Huh?"

What's a sesh?

I believe that's short for "session."
