What Made You Smile Today ?

Thank you FC & Sky - I might get a little suspicious though, when I go over there for Xmas day to see her husband suddenly looks like Elvis - & there is a newly dug mound in the garden

BWAH! You are a scream Adrift!!

OMG Sky - seriously...have you met my mum??? Her nickname for YEARS has been Mutley !!!!!!!!!

Oh I have to add - it's because of the way she laughs - not how she looks!!
If she starts laughing - it sets me off - which makes her laugh more..which makes me laugh more - Oh god, you can imagine it all ends in tears!!! (of laughter!)

No, I haven't but I'd love to, she sounds wonderful. Laughing is good for you! This has just been my favorite laughing gif since I found it.

Mutley!!!!! Love!!!!!

Adrift,Glad your sis enjoyed her time in the states..somehow I knew she would! Las veegas and San fran are two great cities to visit!

Thanks HL - I'm sure it won't be the last time she goes there...ideally with baby sister in tow

Well, if you are coming over with her next time then can I put in a word for CHICAGO??!!! After you check out how freaking amazing downtown Chicago is than you can take a ride out to the country (about an hour from Chicago) and VISIT ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

Oh sod Chicago!!!! - I'll head to see YOU first!! :D (ummm no sweet dishes for me...Jalapeno popper please )

EEEK!! I made two kinds of Jalapeno poppers just recently! I put the recipes in the recipe thread! They were a big hit with my guys! I would be more than happy to pop some Jalapeno for you! Should we have them with a spot of tea??!

Only a 'spot' of tea ! Sounds like Adrift is going to be
presented with a 'teaspoon'.

Don't you have cups or mugs over there FC

I'm in one of my 'silly' moods today - so watch what you say

Well, I thought that was what "tea"spoons were made for! Drinking tea! Do they have another purpose?? If she is really nice and brings the scones I may let her have a tablespoon!

I think you better get the hard stuff out to spike that tea since it will be only a "spot"!

Long Island Iced "Tea" should do the trick!!

I hope Adrift can hold her liquor if you are serving those!!!!! :drunken:

You should come and join us! PARTEE!

Well if Adrift brings the scones she might swap you a 'crumb' for a 'spot'.
Maybe she should think about bringing her own thermos flask too !

As for the teaspoons - we use them to 'stir' our tea/coffee - not drink it.
They are also quite useful for bashing and decapitating boiled eggs. :D

You Brits decapitate your eggs??!! And here I thought you all were so refined!!

I'm intrigued by the Long Island Iced Tea!!!
I only like cheese scones...will they be ok to bring? - Oh sod it...just for you I'll make (buy ) some sweet ones! Clotted cream as well?

OOOOO there is also something else to do with teaspoons - that traditional sport of "hanging a spoon from your nose" :D

Hehehe btw...I have just tried that before posting this

Cheese scones are just fine with me - but variety is nice! I haven't a clue what "clotted cheese" is??!!

Long Island Iced Tea will set you on your bum!! (A Brit word!! YAY ME)

And just what kind of look did Fang give you when you hung that spoon from your nose??!!

OK - so does "sod" mean "screw it"?? :scratch:

LOL...you are having my problem now...thinking one thing & typing another! It's Clotted Cream :D
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clotted_cream

Awwwww...the cute american accent with the brit words
Hehe there used to be an old guy that came into my local pub many years ago...& his saying for if he was surprised was "Well bugger my teddy!! " Used to have me everytime he said it!

As for Fang - he's used to me now & nothing I do surprises him.He's witnessed the DIY,decorating,gardening efforts! Best one was a rocking chair I got from a second hand shop for £8...I took it to bits
(it looks similar to this but cheaper looking )http://hull.gumtree.com/posting_images/86/27666986__1219240390__1__1-a85f293b49eec1af3f213ac745e48552.__big__.jpg ) sanded it down & varnished it.I put it back together in the garden - with a LOT of swearing because of the springs (with Fang watching me) ummmm....but the wrong way round! When I sat in it I seemed to be looking at my knees & when I rocked forwards I seemed to be looking at my feet! At that point - Fang looked like he rolled his eyes..& them wandered in the house & watched me from the window!
Have to say though...the "properly assembled " chair is really comfy :D

Oh my lord , oh my lord I LOVE Clotted cream beyond anything on the face of the earth. LOVE!! I cannot get it anywhere here. It is so good. I begged my brother to smuggle me some back next time he goes. I wish I could make it.

UNpasteurized milk sitting out for hours??!! Sounds bacteria ridden!! Heavy whipping cream however I can get into that! Buy it for lots of recipes!! :D

How funny about the chair! Glad you got it all comfy now!

"Bugger my Teddy"??

We are getting a few 'lessons' aren't we FC? Clotted cream?.....well I can only relate the word clotted to one other liquid and it just doesn't conjur up any good visions..... I'm sure it's good, but couldn't they call it something else?

Yes, blood clots! :pale: Just doesn't sounds appealing to me at all either! But yes, we are learning lots of stuff!!
