At my usual pick-up-MrsT-from-the-airport, the Marriott bar.

They’ve added fish-and-chips to the menu - 8oz of fish, some fries/chips/whatever, coleslaw, and a Creole dipping sauce (looked like mayonnaise, ketchup, and paprika, but what do I know?)…$39US! That’s nuts.

I settled for my reasonable-by-comparison $22 club sandwich!

$22! Is the bread made of gold?

$39!!! I eat a week for less than that.

Have you got to add a 20-30% tip on top of that?

That is actually more expensive than the Mayfair Chippy; in Mayfair, one of London's most expensive areas (for those who don't know) . Fish and chips will set you back £20 -£30, but they've got the equivalent of 1 Michelin star.

You don’t have to, but a tip of some sort would definitely be expected.

a tip of some sort would definitely be expected.

My tip would be "Don't screw with your customers!"

I took those Sourdough krusty rolls and made little French bread pizzas. Except a thousand times better. Mozzarella with smoke gouda and pepperoni.

I love waffles. Next time you do waffles, take some cooked bacon and put it on top of the batter before you close it. It bakes right in!

We love corn and bacon waffles. Use leftover waffles for PB&J sandwiches.

Lunch was the usual sourdough smashed avo, yellowing tofu* and chutney.

Evening meal was leek and mushroom gratin (I added sunflower seeds to the gratin topping).

* we don't know either, but this brand seems to go yellow very easily for some reason. The taste, and smell don't change though the texture of the exterior is a little slimey until you wash it off. I need to contact the manufacturer on that one.

When it's getting slimey is the protein breaking down.

Frittata things with not quite enough egg to hold them together, some cookies that the package said would be a lot bigger, and some cornbread with corn and roasted chili's in it.
