Ah yes, you call chips french fries. French fries tend to be a slimmer version of a chip though - chips being shorter and a bit fatter.Creative, I have no idea what cold chips are. Are they like our french fries? And what is cos lettuce? Otherwise, from what I deciphered, your dinner sounds delicious!
It's called "Romaine lettuce" on the left side of the pond.Ah yes, you call chips french fries. French fries tend to be a slimmer version of a chip though - chips being shorter and a bit fatter.
Cos lettuce is darker green than most lettuces, long and very crisp. I expect you have it in US under a different name? They go well in caesar salad.

taxy, that is a great looking table. All except your tin foil bobeches, that is.
Been looking up bobèche, and that's not quite what that foil is trying to be. When I lived in Denmark, it was standard to put a foil liner inside the candle stick, often with a bobèche. It keeps the candle from getting stuck in the candlestick. They usually look like a tiny muffin liner, but foil. So, I discovered there are foil muffin liners. I betcha that would look better. Another thing to add to the shopping list.Noticed that I see. I didn't even know those had a name in English. I haven't been able to find any disposable ones here. Of course not knowing what they are called doesn't help.
Ah yes...so I see - good to know.They're more like our steak fries: http://www.roastersntoasters.com/images/productimages/DSC_0174.jpg
Chips here are generally potato chips - very thinly sliced and fried,
It is. I got that tip from Cooks Illustrated and a friend reminded me of it last weekend when we had dinner at her house. The lemon softens and the sugars caramelize, so it gets juicy and sweet. It's really good.
