Fries

 

Last time we were visiting Franz Josef we stopped at a local cafe and enjoyed quite a decent lunch.

My youngest child who is 25 years old ordered a meal of chips/fries and to us this was a huge portion, bigger than I think we have ever seen.

It took us all over an hour to try and get through them and then we ended up taking the rest home. Best chips I've ever tasted and here in New Zealand chips/fries are a big thing and very very popular.

Linking up with Weekend Reflections and the Weekend Roundup.

Seems an age since I ate any chips let alone decent ones.

Good fries can sometimes be hard to find. The ones that come with fish and chips here are terrible, they're so soggy.

We have Wendy's several here. As besides Fries, they have baked potatoes and we think we are better off without all the grease of fries. Mrs J and I share one potato.

Amy, I love fries. Fish and Chips is one of my favorite meals! I put vinegar on both, that's a tradition in my family.

Grace Brothers

  We have 2 new chickens, both black ladies. If any of you are familiar with British comedy tv shows you will recognize the names we have given them. This one is named Miss Brahms. And this one is named Mrs Slocombe. At the moment we have them in a temporary shelter next to the Special Patrol Group that we've had for the last 9 months just so they can get to know each other before we intigrate the black ones in with the brown ones. These ones give us a white coloured egg whereas the brown shavers give us brown coloured eggs. Linking up with  Tuesday Treasures ,  Happy Tuesdays  and   Wordless Wednesday .

Arched ceilings dominate the former congregational high stud space beyond the foyer and numerous picturesque windows provide a light, airy feel and an ambience many office buildings lack. The building housed congregational and Sunday school services for 70 years until it was sold and converted into office space in 2003. A significant refurbishment was also carried out with care taken to ensure that the building's distinctive character remained intact. Special architectural ...
