Dinner Lady and Buffet Dress

[susandennis]

After I put the bedroom back in order and sat down to catch my breath... I am going to sleep good tonight unless my getting up and down off the floor and squishing under the bed muscles start screaming.

I remembered that today is episode one of the latest Great British Sewing Bee. Found the download from the same kind soul who made all of last season's episodes available to us outsiders.

One of the contestants is a Dinner Lady and the phrase was used enough and enough times that clearly Dinner Lady was something. Noe something I'd ever heard before but something.

Then Google told me that Dinner Lady is really a Lunch Lady! That makes tremendous sense but not something I'd have noodled out on my own.

Also I learned that Buffet Dresses are a thing and a quite popular thing. Again, missed the memo. Although I'm quite a fan of the style. I made my own version in about 5 different variations last Summer and wore them every day and will likely wear them this year as well.

Lovely way to tie up a day that was mostly Stress City. Now I need to clean up stuff and then maybe just watch the news and knit

Buffet dresses make me think of the 1950’s. 🙂

So when I googled "buffet dress" the search engine directed me to a "jimmy buffet" site. Very confusing and funny at the same time.

I had to go to google images to see what a buffet dress is, never heard the term before.
