Quote:Originally posted by msg: Em- I'd ask for clotted cream, but it wouldn't ship well... I could make a really long list of lovely things you can get, but we can't ( they are mostly food related) 1-real cream ( ours looks like your milk) 2-real butter 3-mars bars 4-puddings of any kind 5-eccles cakes 6-free university 7-fish and chips( really good kind ...here it's mostly frozen muck or shops that make fake ones with weird batter and long potato strings instead) 8-a large variety of candies 9-decent curry you don't have to drive miles to get take away 10- universal health care I could keep going on the food but I've got an hour and half until lunch and I'd just start drooling.

Quote:Originally posted by msg: Fly in England their cream ( our version being heavy whipping cream) is twice as thick. It's about the same consistency as sour cream. I can get creme fraiche , but not thick good quality cream to cook with..I have to settle for heavy cream which just doesn't give the same consistency :)
Quote:I didn't mean curry powder I mean take away curry ( like lamb vindaloo or such like)
Quote: Yeah Em make with the recipe...eccles cake mmmmmmmmmmm this is the best I could find http://www.salford.gov.uk/living/yourcom/salfordlife/aboutsalford/salfordlocalhistory/localhistory-eccles/ecclescakes.htm

Quote:It was determined that they would put a/c in any new school being built, but not in older schools…( on a side note, all older schools are in the poorer sections of town and are attended by low income and immigrant families)
Quote:The legislature buildings were remodeled in 2005( at a cost of $28 million) and all have very high quality a/c, which is odd seeing as our legislature meets in Feb and only has meetings in summer when there's a special session (which rarely happens)
Quote:Yes I find it vaguely ironic that it is illegal( federal law) to keep livestock in conditions that exceed 85 degrees , but it's perfectly ok to keep the kids in an airless room that exceeds 90.

Quote:The perpetrator is an illegal. I can't be down on all illegal immigrants. But to cross our nations boarder without taking the proper steps is a crime.

Quote:Originally posted by EmmaRigby: I have never tried these Altoids of which everybody speaks. Are they really as good as they are made out to be? Don't think they sell them over here. Can't think of anything particularly great that you can only get in the UK. Anyone have any suggestions (eith from general knowledge or personal experience?)

Quote:Originally posted by msg: kind of losing it. School( with students) officially starts Monday and for the first time ever..I don't care. No enthusiasm, no lesson plan, nothing. I'm just so tired and worn...ok enough pity...must find my zen:) It's here somewhere ( likely stuffed in one of the filing cabinets I hurriedly filled to hid the junk before parent night)

We haven't seen the other two thirds of you in a while. 1/3 lives in California 1/3 lives in Minnesota 1/3 lives in Maryland (You've got to understand how HUGE I am. I cover from sea to shining sea. But I prefer Maryland. Better seafood.) Actually can't (and won't) speak for my better halves - but it's my crazynutty job. Never thought I'd be saying this - ever - but I kinda miss the furniture farm and the awkward moments with the designers.
