I'm Dorian, a pianist and composer from North Chesterington. I'm the grandfather to 4 generations. Navy veteran. I always show up to the fight. Opinions are indeed my own.
Happy holidays and lots of love from the Stainthorpe Fletcher Court family. -Ward Court, Dorian's great- grandson

Submariners of the US Navy have always been some of the best feed in the military. This is a dish of Swiss Steaks and Mashed Potatoes (from dehydrated potatoes) from the World War 2 cookbook of the US Navy. youtu.be/knN3738JU9s?...

I've realised nobody here really knows me...
I'm Dorian, I'm 83 years old. I'm married to my partner Lawrence Davenport and we've been together for 40 years. I have 2 children, 5 grandchildren, and so many great grandchildren I've lost count.
There are many other things, I am a varied animal.

Pushing up, pushing up
Through the dirt just like a seed
But you're never quite a flower
You feel more just like a weed

I spent too long looking at the "Food, Glorious Food" feed, and now I'm hungry. Is it dinnertime yet?

After a rough day, and even rougher week, it is nice to sit down and look at pictures of flowers, birds, and food.
Speaking of food, something great is cooking in the kitchen. Thank you, Bladrian.

This lasagna is a rich and creamy take on the classic, featuring a velvety béchamel infused with sun-dried tomatoes, a ricotta-Parmesan-Romano filling, and layers of mozzarella and fontina. The deep, slow-roasted marinara adds a bold contrast.
