Hello, and welcome to Table Manners Season 19, mum.
Lennie Ware (0:08)
That doesn't mean we've been going for 19 years.
Jessie Ware (0:10)
No, but it does mean we've been going for 10 years, I think, nearly.
Lennie Ware (0:13)
I feel like we've been going 119 years today.
Jessie Ware (0:16)
Okay, well, this leads us to Lennie is having her hip hop.

Hip hop.

Hip hop.
Lennie Ware (0:23)
I'm not doing hip hop dancing, I'm having a hip hop.
Jessie Ware (0:26)
And they do serve wine in the Rehabilitation Center. So you'll be okay.
Lennie Ware (0:30)
That was the main reason for choosing it.
Jessie Ware (0:33)
Your eyes are sparkly today, Lennie.
Lennie Ware (0:35)
I don't know. It was a mistake. I like it.

We are so excited for our season opener. We have the phenomenal Kelly Rowland, who you will know from the most iconic girl group, Destiny's Child, or her illustrious solo career with bangers such as Dilemma, When Love Takes Over, Motivation, as my husband, when I put it on this morning, knew all the words, forgot that he was an R&B boy.
Lennie Ware (1:45)
On no matter what you do.
Jessie Ware (1:47)
That's Dilemma.
Lennie Ware (1:48)
Oh, is that Dilemma?

The new face of Olay.

Your grandma would have been so thrilled.
Jessie Ware (2:02)
Oh, my God.
Lennie Ware (2:02)
To meet any ambassador of Olay.
Jessie Ware (2:04)
Oh, my God. She used to lather it on, didn't she?
Lennie Ware (2:07)
Oily Olay.
Jessie Ware (2:08)
Oily Olay.
Kelly Rowland is coming on, and she's coming on at kind of an odd time for food. So you've done something quite light, haven't you?
Lennie Ware (2:19)
Yeah, I've just made a salad, a peach and chicken salad.
Jessie Ware (2:22)
Which I think I did for Rob Delaney. It's a Nigel Slater Guardian recipe.
Lennie Ware (2:26)
Yeah.
Jessie Ware (2:27)
Really good.
Lennie Ware (2:28)
Yeah.
Jessie Ware (2:28)
And the peaches are still good, or nectarines are still good.
Lennie Ware (2:30)
The peaches are great. They were just right today.
Jessie Ware (2:33)
And then you've done some, what's it called?
Lennie Ware (2:35)
Oh, I've done a raspberry poke cake.
Jessie Ware (2:38)
What does that mean?
Lennie Ware (2:39)
I've poked holes in the cake that I made.
Kelly Rowland (2:41)
Oh, to get like syrup in?
Lennie Ware (2:42)
To get the raspberry in.
Kelly Rowland (2:44)
Yeah.
Lennie Ware (2:44)
Let's hope it works.
Jessie Ware (2:45)
Well, it looks beautiful.
Lennie Ware (2:46)
I hope so.
Jessie Ware (2:48)
How was your summer, Mum?
Lennie Ware (2:50)
Well, it was fab, really. I was away for nearly seven weeks.
Kelly Rowland (2:53)
Yeah. Don't we have a lot of them then? In Greece.
Lennie Ware (2:54)
Yeah.
And I loved it. It was beautiful. All our favorite people there. And a lovely, the man who worked in Platanos Square.
Jessie Ware (3:06)
Asked you out on a date.
Lennie Ware (3:07)
No, he asked me to sit and have a drink of either coffee, wine or water.
Jessie Ware (3:12)
Yeah.
Lennie Ware (3:13)
And I said, Oh, I'm a bit busy. I couldn't imagine what I was going to do by sitting, talking to me.
Jessie Ware (3:19)
And he thought that he just wanted you to buy Gyros.
Lennie Ware (3:21)
Yeah.
Jessie Ware (3:22)
Right.
Lennie Ware (3:22)
And he suddenly said, I just love your podcast, which was so strange. Great. He's like, you know, he's not the youngest man in the world. I've been seeing him in Platanos Square for about 30 years. He loves the podcast.
