Starving artist - well, not starving, but if you happen to have an extra biscuit lying around . . . Member  |
That's possibly the most gloriously 70s meal ever. Well, not sure about the sweetcorn. I always see it as banana and pineapple deep-fried.

Oh they had a CD on playing American music, but I'm sure it was actually Shakin' Stevens.

I think you should sneak off home!

I'm the only one in the house until ten. The Boss is getting a lot of airtime today.

I can't go home, someone might notice!
 But I called my granny, where it turned out my mum also is today, tried the other grandparents (answer machine), am listening to my podcasts, and playing with my dinosaurs! And occasionally doing the Adlibbing Honor left! Because I am SO AHEAD I can do other people's work! ____________________________________________________ tiny ball of rage. hilarious, condensed rage - Snazz I never really lost my virginity... it just sort of eventually wore off - Chris Addison Um...

Oh! I just remembered! It is the 4th of July. That means the Sci Fi Channel will be playing their annueal 4th of July Twilight Zone Marathon! I can watch the Twilight Zone ALL DAY!

Because the 'Mericans are all asleep still!  (Okay, I'm not, but I can't sleep because I'm worrying about my sister and the fire, even though I'm three hours ahead of her timewise so I won't know anything for a bunch more hours so I *could* sleep, but no.)And thanks, everybody. I love my country. Yes, it has problems (like, for many many years I too worked jobs that had no benefits, and my husband is still working a job that has no benefits, and yes it does indeed suck) and I've been to other really cool countries that I enjoyed very much. But I am glad that I am a citizen of the United States of America, and it's nice to reflect on that today.  And I like fireworks.Mark, I've no idea what Maryland breaded chicken would be and I've never had a pineapple and/or sweetcorn fritter and I'm quite, quite Southern *and* American. I advise fried chicken, mashed potatoes with lots of butter, corn on the cob, green beans, some real biscuits made with Martha White self-rising flour, and pie, preferrably some sort of berry pie today, with vanilla ice cream. And some watermelon. Oh yes, yes, a thousand times yes . . . Although I do like a good grilled hotdog with musturd and onions on the 4th. Nom nom nom. Okay, now I'm hungry for real food and it's only 8:20 a.m. Ridiculous me!!  ********-------******** "this whole blonde doctor situation has me mortified" --- and I don't normally advocate music I love, but go see www.myspace.com/umbrellatree and thank me later! |

Ya'll have weird ideas about American food. Up north in the blandlands 4th of July food means hotdogs, hamburgers, corn on the cob, and various macaroni salads.

How could I forget the macaroni salad?? Oh, that's right, because it's disgusting!
 But what outdoor eating fest would be replete without it?********-------******** "this whole blonde doctor situation has me mortified" --- and I don't normally advocate music I love, but go see www.myspace.com/umbrellatree and thank me later! |

I have to say, I think Mark's canteen's idea of American food isn't quite like anyone's idea of American food!

Maryland Breaded chicken, its basically a cornflake/egg batter and usually broiled in the oven (that's how dad made it anyway, he's from maryland).
Mark, sounds like you are talking about corn fritters. Its cornmeal, egg, and corn nibblets deep fried. Never had them with bananas. And yes, its very southern. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Discordian Priestess, Keeper of the Golden Pine-Apple. "You are a Woodmonger. When people want something hot, they seek you out.

Nah, its exactly the British idea of American food circa 1975.

Maybe it's Parliament's idea of a bad joke

That's some good American music right there, people. ********-------******** "this whole blonde doctor situation has me mortified" --- and I don't normally advocate music I love, but go see www.myspace.com/umbrellatree and thank me later! |

Odd thing about USA, the food is very regional. The South has its on flavor, until you get into the Bayou area.
I'm eating grits right now. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Discordian Priestess, Keeper of the Golden Pine-Apple. "You are a Woodmonger. When people want something hot, they seek you out.

What's grits?
I think Brits are generally ignorant of American food - we tend to assume it's hot dogs, burgers, southern fried chicken, and Doritos "I will to my Lord be true and faithful, and love all which he loves and shun all which he shuns." |
