I love this song (though I still don't know what it is about) but I would hate it as an alarm clock even 1 minute earlier than I must wake up.

I think it is a bit pointless to discuss it with Stitchawl

Busy busy busy

P.S. Stitchawl I will re-read your POV on relationships later today, when I have more time

Can you add some cocoa powder?

Hmmmm.... am I the ONLY person who says 'excuse me' to the coffee table when I trip over its legs?

Keep in mind that it's only my 'opinion.' And you know what they say about opinions!

I only use profanity when the coffee table trips over MY legs. I really hate it when that happens.

Today I got lucky!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I went to Kyoto to the little Chinese Import store to pick up some light Chinese soysauce and a package of fermented black beans. I carefully perused the tea shelves and found several that they hadn't carried before, but nothing so special. So just to be sure, I asked... and I got lucky! On a different shelf, they had just put out four packages of my most favorite unbranded Keemun tea!

Needless to say, I bought all four packages! 400gm of great Keemun tea for about $25 USD! I'm a happy camper!

Coke Zero #2 in my cup.

I've just finished baking some fairy cakes a batch of vanilla, and a batch of chocolate. And the bread machine's working overtime - a loaf last night, a loaf this morning, and a loaf baking right now.

Because this afternoon, as soon as Youngest is back from school, we're off to the beach for a picnic. Low tide is about 3pm to 4pm today, so it will just be coming in, with plenty of sandy beach — it should be great. Eldest is off to University on Friday, and Middle is off to University the following Friday. It's not often now that we have them all in one place.

What are 'fairy cakes?'

Enjoy! It's nice to have family around.

Small (individual portion) cakes in paper cases. I think in the US they're generally known as cup cakes, although fairy cakes are, I think, generally smaller than US cup cakes, and would rarely if ever have buttercream icing on them — a simple glacé icing at most.

Stitchawl

Does that happen often?

aceflor · 09-14-2011, 02:21 PM

Green Smoothie with beetroot, kale and pumpkin. The texture is similar to a gazpacho, it tastes a bit sweet but not too much, it is really nice.

I wanna go back to being a worker bee at the office. I am tired of herding cats. Especially old cats who think that they can avoid completing the task that they are assigned.

One pot of Rooibos Lemon. Two pots of Iron Goddess.

Coke Zero #4, back from the beach. A very pleasant trip out and picnic.
