rocko's, in the village! oreo pie stuff... too tasty.

*giggles* not sure how I'd feel about oreo pie... I'm not too fond of American pastry because it's so sweet.. that's why I like Chez le Chef so much..

One of the hardest things to get used to after moving down here to the "new south" is having to order 'unsweet tea'.. it only took a couple rude surprises after ordering iced tea to learn to be more specific..

i spent summers in the deep south. have you got used to calling all sodas "Coke"?

Or if you go to Texas - Dr Pepper!

That I can cope with.. *giggles* on the occasion when I attempt a dessert recipe of any sort I've found it's much better for my taste if I eliminate 1/3 to 1/2 the sugar. Though true southerners would probably find it nasty.

There are advantages to living here.. like as a woman I'm able to say the most breathtakingly rude things about another person as long as I add in "bless his/her heart".

do they even bother with that in NY?

I've never noticed too much rudeness in NYC to be honest. On the other hand down here it's perfectly acceptable to turn to someone and say "Why bless your heart, that dress of yours is just like a circus tent!"

Why bless my heart that sounds refreshing - like a glass of at a dull party!

or a glass of a hoppin one...

I dont do no matter how good the party (makes me ill)

I'll stick with the too... after having to go to months of rehab to kick that lactose addiction I have to be careful..

do they have rehab for chocolate as well?

I dunno... that's one vice I refuse to let loose of..

yeah me too, really, just about anything chocolate is fair game...

how do you mean anything about chocolate is fair game?

Long may chocolate be popular!

I read something very worrying in the papers here today - they are going to introduce testing to make sure sailors are not drunk

Check it out here http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2087-2272149,00.html

well, that is the UK for you . no but really, as long as we fly the right flags and bribe the right people everything will be fine.

oh, and i will eat anything chocolate.... well, within reason.

Shame you think we can bribe our way round the regulations - it does not sound as much fun as full on piracy Still I think we should warn the captain ...

Glad you approve of - its how I make my living when I am not being a pirate

What? Now they're outlawing drunken sailors? what's hte world coming to?

*takes some to calm the nerves*


Rude in New york? I almost fell over from shock a while back when, sneezing as I crossed the street, I received a "bless you" from an attache case going in the opposite dirction.

A speaking attache case

As you say what is the world coming to

* restocks the bar with more *

* pours herself another *
