well, folks, i find myself in somewhat of a pickle this morning. as i think back over the last week, i'm at a loss for anything funny, insightful, or interesting to write about. which is a little disheartening because it implies that i'm now stuck in a routine, and makes me think of running off into the misty yonder to find adventure and snacks!

i did try tea cakes, which are a biscuit with a big marshmallow on top covered with a thin layer of chocolate. the marshmallow is the consistency of mock cream. not sure that i liked it much, bit too sweet for me. i did however indulge in kebab meat and chips last night, which is fast becoming my new guilty pleasure take away treat.

geordie's think of kebab meat much as we might think of ham, or salami. yes, you can get it in a traditional kebab with salad and garlic sauce, but you can also get it, as previously mentioned, with chips and gravy, on a pizza, in a bun with gravy. i personally think it's awesome, always having had a secret love of kebab meat.

food wise, it actually has been great being back in a western country, where there are baked beans on tap and i never want for salt and vinegar chips or fruit! one thing i have noticed recently though is british people (get ready for a sweeping generalisation) eat a lot of crisps! or perhaps it's just the people i work with. but the deliciously savoury snack does seem to be a favourite here. and sausage rolls. and curries.

next week i will hopefully have some pictures of a castle to show you. i have demanded that jeff takes me to one tomorrow. oh and there's a wedding as well.
